Humans Don't Have Wings (Destiel/Sabriel)

6 - He Knows and He Knew

~ The Novaks ~

"Gabriel, you called?" 

Cas appeared in Gabriel's room. His older brother was sitting on his bed, wings tight against his back, a sign he was uncomfortable. 

"Yeah, I did," Gabe answered, "your roommate's brother, Sam, his room is next to mine." Castiel's head tilted as Gabe went on. "He came into my room when I was stretching and saw. I erased his memory."

"Gabriel, it has been a day, not even." 

"I know. But we have to be careful of those Winchesters. With father's story in mind, who knows what they can do and what they will do. If we mess up, everything goes to Hell and I mean literally."

"Yes, I understand that. We will both have to be more cautious around them."

Dean stood up, "I'll see what I can do about that microwave. You stay sitting down, maybe whatever happened will just come to you." Sam nodded wordlessly. 

The older Winchester made his way across the room and over to the small machine. He unplugged it and then plugged it back in. After asking Sammy what exactly was broken, he tried to start up the microwave as if he was heating something up. It didn't work. 

Dean unplugged it again and turned it around. He started to play around with the wires in the back. Countless times, he would turn the microwave the right way and plug it back in. He would try but, time and time again, nothing worked. 

Eventually, Dean found the right wire and did the right thing. For a final time, he turned the microwave around and turned the machine on. To Dean's relief it worked. Dean spotted the plastic bowl of Mac and cheese. 

"Still want to eat that?" He asks, turning to Sam who was still in the same position as he had been when Dean started to fix the microwave. 

"Uh, yeah, sure." Sam shrugs. 

Dean puts the macaroni and cheese into the microwave and heats it up. About a minute later, he brings it over to Sam with a plastic spoon. 

After doing so, Dean spots Sam's computer on one of the tables in the room and gets an idea. 

"Hey, once your done, mind helping me with some research? You're the one who can hack into databases the best," Dean asks, eyeing the laptop.

"Sure," Sam says again. 

It takes only a few minutes for Sam to finish up the small amount of mac and cheese. He throws the empty cup into the trash and gets his computer. Sam opens the laptop and looks up at Dean. "What do you need to look up?" He asks, planning on doing all the typing and searching himself while Dean looks over everything. 

"Search up Novaks in America within the past century," Dean instructs. 

A bit confused, Sam looks up the family name Novak. He finds a government site with the records possibly holding the information they need. Sam clicks on the link and after a few tries, gets into the site and starts the search. 

"Birth, health and death records all in one place," Sam says as he types the name Novak into the search bar. 

Sam comes to a list of names. "What did they say their siblings' names were?" Sam asks, looking over and up at his brother who was standing behind his shoulder, looking intently at the computer screen. 

"Said there were three other siblings. Anna and Michael were two of them, I can't remember what the other one was," Dean answered helpfully. 

Sam nodded, his eyes going back to the computer screen. He scrolled through the list of names of people with the name Novak. (One person had the first name Novak, the others were just as a last name.)
