God was sitting at the table. Gabriel walks in. God looks at him

Gabriel: Michael has betrayed us. He attacked our own to protect the human

God growls and hits the table in anger, it makes a rumbling sound. Gabriel stands there with no emotion

Gabriel: What do you want me to do?

God: Talk him out of this nonsense. Bring him back before things get worse

Gabriel: As you wish

He walks out

After that...

Michael's by the window looking up in the sky. Jess comes out of the bathroom and walks over to him

Jess: Are you alright?

He looks at her

Michael: Yeah of course

Jess: Do you regret it? Leaving up there for me?

Michael: Of course not. I've never left your side and I'm not planning to. I'm bonded to you Jess. I made the oath when we first put our hands together and I swear to always protect you no matter what

She smiles big at him then sticks her hand out to him. He puts his hands on hers and smiles

Jess: I'll never leave your side either Michael and I'll try my best to protect you as well

She sticks her other hand out to him

Michael: The other hand to?

She smiles and nods as he puts his other hand on hers. They smile and stare into each other's eyes while slowly leaning their heads to each other's

Michael come here now!

Michael suddenly disappears. Jess looks around

Jess: Michael?!

He was gone

Jess: Shit!

She runs into her room, closes and locks the door. Michael's back at the alleyway. Gabriel's in front of him

  Gabriel's in front of him

Micheal: You got here fast

Gabriel: When they told me you attacked them, I had to make sure he sent me down here. Don't worry I'm not here to kill the human

Michael: Her name is Jess

Gabriel: I don't care what the humans name is. I'm here to bring you back

Michael: And why would I do that? I caused a lot of trouble up there and I'm pretty sure if I go back I'll be punished or worse

Gabriel: He'll let you off the hook but you need to forget the human and come back with me

Michael: Do you think I'm stupid Gabriel? I know you'll kill her once I'm not there to protect her. I know what you're capable of

Gabriel: She's caused nothing but trouble. She knows about us because of you. If she tells the other humans

Michael: She won't tell a soul I can promise you that. Just go Gabriel and leave us alone. No matter what you say I won't change my mind. I'm where I want to be

Gabriel: You know what'll happen if you stay right?

Michael sighs

Michael: I'm not leaving her, even if it means that

Gabriel: I don't believe what I'm hearing

Michael: It's because...

Gabriel: Yeah I know why and that's just pathetic. You in love with a human, give me a break. Angels and humans are not meant for each other

Michael: How do you know? You've never even tried it. I bet you'd fall in love with a human if you were down here all the time

Gabriel: Have you lost your mind? I'm already in love Michael, you know that

Michael laughs

Michael: Sure you are

Gabriel glares

Gabriel: He's not going to be happy when I go back without you

Michael: What's he going to do? Come down here? I'll take my chances

Gabriel shakes his head

Gabriel: Such a disappointment

Michael: You'll get over it

Gabriel: We'll see about that

Gabriel's wings come out. He flies into the sky. Michael's back in Jess's apartment. He looks around

Michael: Jess!

She unlocks and opens the door

Jess: Michael?

She sees him then runs over and hugs him. He hugs back

Michael: Are you alright?

Jess: I'm fine. What happened to you? You just disappeared

Michael: Gabriel called me. We had a little chat

Jess: I'm guessing it wasn't good since you're back here

He shakes his head then strokes her head

Michael: You should sleep, you look exhausted

Jess: Your right I should. It's been a very long crazy day. Here let me set up a bed for you

She takes the covers off the couch and pulls the bed out. She goes in her room, grabs pillows and a blanket from her bed, and sets them on the other bed. He watches

Jess: There you go

He smiles

Michael: Thanks

Bright lightning flashes while thunder roars, turning off the power. Jess jumps and hides under the blanket on his bed. He gets in with her and laughs

Michael: You okay Jess?

She looks and smiles at him

Jess: Now I am, knowing you're here with me

He smiles big. She cuddles into him and eventually falls asleep. He lays there with his arms around her, enjoying the moment until he falls asleep as well
