Hunter's Angel (Destiel/Sabriel)

42 - Idjits

Bet you all wanna know what happened to Gabe...heh nope

Cas wasn't doing too well. Neither was Dean. They'd both lost a brother...

Their lives simply became a routine, just going through the motions. Neither of them had the motivation to really go out and hunt, or be happy.

For Dean...Sam was gone permanently. There was no way to get his little brother back, no way he'd ever be able to see him again. Angels didn't go to heaven, Dean didn't know what had actually happened to Sam. How could he? And this was hurting him...he was alive, he was okay, and his little brother who he'd always protected was gone...

And Cas, Gabe was gone. The older brother who'd always been there to make bad jokes at the worst of times, yet was always there to look out for him...gone. And probably in hell. Most hunter's did go to hell after all.

"Dean," Cas said one day as they were sitting in the main room of the bunker. "Is there any way we could—"

"No," Dean said. "We're not getting Gabriel back. Remember what he said, he wanted to go. Even if we get him back, he still won't be able to deal."

"But he was okay when he was a spirit," Cas muttered. "Why was he okay then?"

Dean paused.

Dean thought about it.

Dean failed to come up with a solution.

"That's not right," he said. "Gabriel should've still been suffering from the loss..."

"What do you mean?" Cas said, sitting up straight.

"He'd still have the emptiness from the bond break," Dean said. "Unless...unless the bond was still existent, but in the afterlife instead." He paused again. "Oh of course, the bond shares humanity between them, Sam didn't die he would've gone to heaven or hell just like Gabe..."

"But are they in heaven or hell?" Cas asked.

"I don't know," Dean said. "But for their sakes, I hope heaven."

Sam waited. He still had that barrier in his mind, blocking him from Gabe. So a spirit or in hell...but why would Gabe be sent to hell? Unless some demon had personally dragged him down there.

Actually, now that he was thinking about it, it didn't seem unlikely that Cain could've managed to drag Gabe down there from the cage.

Sam swore quietly and stood up from where he'd been sitting. He spread his wings behind him, trying to see if he could fly out of there. The angels had always been able to get around heaven.

When nothing happened Sam swore again.

"Okay, Adam if you can hear me, now would be a good time to answer," Sam said. "Jo, Ellen, Ash, John, Jess, Kevin, any of you..."

There was a sound of several pairs of wings, and Adam, Jo and Kevin appeared in the room.

"Sam," Jo said. "We thought you were dead."

"You must've lived because of the bond," Adam said.

"Technically not living," Kevin said.

"Yeah okay, I get it, I'm in heaven now as a human," Sam said. "But I need help."

"With?" Adam asked.

"Gabe," Sam said. "He's in hell, he wouldn't stay a spirit this long and I know he's dead. And I can't do anything."

"You want us to bring him here?" Jo asked and Sam nodded.

"Easier said than done," Kevin said.

"You're angels, just drag his lazy soul up here," Sam said.
