The Devil in the Details (Sterek)(Destiel)(Sabriel)

I need you

The bunker was silent. No one knew what to do or say. They needed a plan and they needed to hurry.

"I thought you guys said he couldn't be a demon?" Lydia spoke up finally.

"It shouldn't be possible, but we don't know what all Asmodeus is capable of, so we need to be prepared for anything," Cas answered.

"We need to have a plan for when Asmodeus comes for Stiles, cause he will," Sam spoke up next.

"We need something that can kill him," Dean huffed. Derek could smell the stress radiating from the hunter.

"Well unless we find the colt, magically fix the lance of Michael or find a spare archangel we're screwed," Sam responded. He smelled less stressed.

"Wait, what if we lure Asmodeus here and trap him in a devil's trap. I can scour Gabriel's memories about what Asmodeus did with his grace. Gabriel can walk into hell and get it, while Asmodeus is trapped. Then once Gabriel is fully charged again, he can take him out," Cas offered.

"Would that work?" Dean asked.

"Yeah, I mean, I don't know how long a devil's trap will hold him, but it's doable," Sam nodded.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay hold on, I'm not supposed to be getting involved," Gabriel piped in then.

"Gabriel, please." Sam looked at the angel with pleading eyes.

"No way, I'm staying out of this," Gabriel shook his head.

"We can't do this alone, we need you," Sam begged, "Gabriel I need you."

Derek heard Gabriel's heart pick up. He also smelled of confusion.

"I can't," Gabriel shook his head.

"Listen here you-"

"Dean, stop," Derek snapped. Gabriel would cave, but not if they pissed him off. Derek tossed Sam a look that said 'keep going'.

"Look, I know you're not one to get tangled in the affairs of heaven and hell, but this isn't the apocalypse," Sam said stepping around the table and towards the archangel.

Gabriel swallowed anxiously as Sam advanced towards him.

"This is my little brother, I know that you hate him for what he did to you, but he's under the control of Asmodeus. He made a deal to save someone he loved, not realizing that he would be answering to a prince of hell. Now he's out there, and he needs me, but I can't do this alone. I need you. I know that might not mean anything to you, because I don't mean anything to you, but you mean the world to me. I swear I won't let anything happen to you. I'll go get your grace myself if you can get me into hell. Cause I'd go to hell and back for you, Gabriel. I'm just asking for your help, please," Sam pleaded, carefully pulling Gabriel's hands into his.

Gabriel looked down at their hands. He was torn. He couldn't deny he'd been feeling things towards the hunter, but he didn't want to.

"Sam, I'm not the guy you were with, I don't have the memories of us that you do," Gabriel spoke sympathetically.

"So go into my memories, like Cas did with you," Sam said suddenly.

"Of course, why didn't we think of that before?" Cas spoke up.

"You're sure? It won't be pleasant," Gabriel frowned. He couldn't deny he was curious about their supposed past.

"I can handle it," Sam nodded.

"Wait," Derek stepped forward taking Sam's hand, "I'll take as much of the pain as I can."

Sam smiled appreciatively giving Derek's hand a squeeze.

Gabriel carefully placed his hands on Sam's head.

Dean, Cas, and Lydia watched as Sam cried out. Derek grit his teeth as he pulled some of the pain.

Finally Gabriel released Sam, his eyes wide.

Sam slumped into Derek a bit as he regained his balance.

Sam looked at Gabriel with tired eyes. Had it worked?

Gabriel stepped forward pulling the hunter into a tight embrace.

"I'm so sorry, baby," Gabriel spoke into Sam's hair.

Relief flooded Sam, it worked. Gabriel remembered.

"I'm so so sorry," Gabriel repeated.

"It's okay, Gabe, I'm just glad you remember," Sam sighed melting into Gabriel.

"So you with us?" Dean asked.

Gabriel pulled back from Sam, "Hells yeah."

Sam smiled tiredly. He'd missed Gabriel so much.

"This just might work," Dean said thoughtfully.

"Guys, I have a bad feeling," Lydia spoke up suddenly.

"We know, the plan's not perfect, but-"

"No when Lydia says she has a bad feeling, that means something is going to happen," Derek said perking up a bit. Taking Sam's pain had worn him out.

Suddenly Lydia went catatonic.

"Lydia?" Dean snapped his fingers in front of her face, nothing.

"Lydia," Derek said, concern dripping from his tone. He laid a hand on her shoulder.

She jumped at the contact, blinking at the alpha.

"You said something is gonna happen, something like what?" Cas asked.

She looked at Dean, "You're gonna die," she said, her voice shaky.

Dean rolled his eyes, "Okay, can we go?" Dean huffed. He obviously didn't believe Lydia.

"Dean," Sam spoke up with a worried expression.

"Come on, Sam, I'm not gonna die," Dean scoffed.

"Dean," Derek spoke up next.

"Are your feelings always right? Like one hundred percent of the time?" Dean asked turning to the red head.

"No, not exactly," Lydia answered, "But-"

"There, see? I'm not gonna die. Now can we please go get my brother," Dean snapped.

"Dean," Cas put a hand on Dean's arm, stopping him from walking away.

"I'm not letting a 'bad feeling' derail this, now get your asses going or I'm leaving without you," Dean barked.

The rest of them exchanged knowing glances.

"Gabriel should stay here, he's weak after going through Sam's memories. Sam you should stay too, look out for him and Lydia, you guys can get everything ready here. Derek, Dean and I will go get Stiles," Cas spoke. He knew there was no sense in arguing with Dean right now, he would just keep careful tabs on his hunter, not that he didn't anyway.

*AN*
Gabriel has his memories back! And they have a plan! Let me know what you think!
