Summary: When Gabriel pulls off a interesting stunt on the bridge it leaves Sam and Dean wondering, what exactly is Gabriel?
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
Gabriel looked at the mass of people, he couldn’t freaking believe his eyes.
“These are demons, in case you were wondering…” Sam said weakly, “Dean told me you didn’t believe him…Well here you are…” Sam said; pale as he looked out at all the demons as they started to approach.
You can stop this, Gabriel… A voice seemed to whisper in Gabriel’s ear and Gabriel looked around, noticing Sam patting himself down for something.
“Shit I forgot the knife!” Sam snarled slamming his fist against the steering wheel of the car, causing the horn to go off. Sam looked pissed.
Gabriel swallowed as he heard the voice again…
Come on, go out there, think of killing the demons and focus. The hosts will be left unharmed.
Gabriel’s instincts told him to listen to the voice so Gabriel took in a deep breath, unlocked his door manually and got out. He then climbed onto the hood of the Impala, drawing looks from all the demons there. Gabriel secretly hoped that this was going to work.
He stared them down.
“You’re not getting anyone without going through me!” He yelled to the crowd of demons, many of whom smirked.
Instinct told Gabriel to hold out his hands, take a deep breath and focus… He listened and did this, focusing on banishing and killing the demons, even though he wasn’t sure how it was going to happen, but he focused as hard as he could, blocking everything out until he saw a girl throw her head back and scream, her mouth open wide as black smoke billowed out from it and shot into the air. This started happening with the others even as Gabriel noticed his hands surrounded by a bright white glow. Fueled by the fact that it was working, Gabriel clenched his fists and locked his jaw, willing for all the demons to be banished and to die…Soon the sky was filled with the black smoke that was the demons, they couldn’t escape, Gabriel knew that even as he threw his head back and let out a yell. A burst of white fire erupted in the midst Gabriel noticed his hands surrounded by a bright white glow. Fueled by the fact that it was working, Gabriel clenched his fists and locked his jaw, willing for all the demons to be banished and to die… and soon the white fire devoured the black smoke, and when all that was done, he saw the people on the ground stir and start to get up even as his footing slipped and he fell off the hood of the impala and onto the asphalt.
“Nnh…” Gabriel only just realized how much of a toll that stunt had on him as he got up and got back into the car, panting hard. Sam looked at him with wide eyes.
“How did you do that?” Sam asked, shock coloring his voice as Gabriel shook his head.
“I…I don’t know…I just followed my gut I guess…” He said as he leaned his head back against the headrest.
“Hell, I don’t think even think Cass could have pulled that off even at full power…That must have been around one hundred demons!” Sam said excitedly as all the demon victims got back in their cars and traffic went back to normal and Sam went back to the hotel. Gabriel spaced out on the ride there but got out when Sam stopped, staggering before he caught himself and went in with the bags, Sam glancing to him on occasion up until they got to their room. They saw that Dean was watching the news.
“Did you guys see thi-what happened to you Gabriel?” He said as he saw Gabriel stagger over to the bed.
“I’ll tell you in a minute, what was on the news?” Sam asked, but Dean only turned up the volume on the bed as Gabriel lay on the bed, fighting hard not to throw up. The news report spoke of a sudden cloud that had appeared over the bridge and the ‘white lightning’ that had made it disperse…
Gabriel let his head drop on the bed as Dean looked to Sam.
“Were you guys behind this?” Dean asked as Gabriel shuddered with fatigue.
“Yeah…we were coming back from getting his coats when he spotted some guys following us in their car, one guess as to what they were,” He said, as Dean let out a hiss.
“Well, I made a wrong turn and tried to get over the bridge after that. But damn do demons work fast, they must have possessed everyone on that bridge but us…Well I had just figured out I didn’t have the knife when Gabriel here gets out, gets onto the hood of the car and starts freaking glowing! He banished all of those demons and I think killed them, right?” Sam asked as he looked back to Gabriel who just gave a muffled yes.
“I don’t think even Cass could have pulled it off when he had access to heaven,” Sam said excitedly as Gabriel grunted and sat up carefully.
“So Castiel…he’s an angel?” Gabriel asked as he shrugged off the jacket, feeling a whole lot warmer than he was supposed to be…
“Kinda…” Dean said, “He got kicked out of Heaven because he disagreed with what they were doing.” Dean finished and looked to Gabriel, who was acting like his back was bugging him before The Trickster passed out.
“Sam he’s been asleep for four days now, maybe we should-!”
“No, look! He’s waking up!” Sam said as Gabriel opened his eyes and blinked when he saw a hotel quite different from the one he’d passed out in.
“What happened?” Gabriel asked as he started to sit up, but Sam pushed him down.
“You passed out four days ago after the whole demon stuff, it really took a lot out of you…You also have a dangerously high fever that we’ve been trying to get down for the last three days, but we had to move to a different hotel, you know for safety reasons because of the demons that had been in the other town,” Sam said as he handed Gabriel a water bottle and Gabriel took it and downed the contents even as a cool, wet towel was placed on his forehead by Dean. Gabriel looked at both men and was glad to have them there even as he drifted off again…
“But why do things have to be this way Michael? Couldn’t we just leave them alone?” Gabriel asked as he stood in what was like a throne room, and he saw his brother Michael standing at the right hand of that throne. Michael was what Gabriel could only describe as beautiful in his true form. Gabriel noticed others there as well, Castiel and Annah among them…
“Because it is father’s will,” Michael said simply, but Gabriel was not going to fall for that this time.
“No it’s not! It is only your will! Dad is gone and you know it!” Gabriel snarled and both he and Michael stared each other down.
“You know what? Screw this; I’m going down to the Earth. Dad created it; I may as well do something in it!” And he left faster than even he thought possible from heaven, only a streak of light to the casual astronomer on earth until he came to him. He came to him even as he was practicing his lines with other men and women.
“I need your help,” Gabriel spoke, the man whipped his head around in confusion as the others yelled in pain as Gabriel’s voice hurt them…
Gabriel spoke to the man and eventually the man said ‘Yes’. When Gabriel opened his newfound eyes he saw the man’s friends and comrades offering him hands to help him up.
“Go, get some rest…you don’t look to good,” a man with brown hair and brown eyes said before Gabriel silently nodded…
Gabriel then left that place and arrived at a home in Lawrence Kansas…It was silent for a moment or maybe it was an hour? Time though seemed to fly past Gabriel as he heard a scream from the bedroom nearest him upstairs and then moments later the light of a fire filled the room and Gabriel heard John Winchester.
“Take your brother outside and don’t look back. Go Dean go!” And Gabriel watched a four year old Dean Winchester come running out of the house, holding a six month baby that was Samuel Winchester. Dean stopped and looked back as a fireball exploded from Sam’s bedroom and John Winchester ran out of the house, scooped up Dean in his arms and ran as another ball of fire exploded from the home. All too soon there were fire trucks and police and John was holding Sam as Dean clung to his father. Gabriel went up to John feeling he had to…say something.
“I’m sorry for your loss,” He said softly and John looked up to him.
“Thanks,” he said with a nod before looking to Dean.
“Do you need somewhere to stay?” Gabriel asked, but he already knew the answer.
“No, it’s okay, a friend of mine is going to let me stay at his place…but thanks,” And with that, Gabriel nodded and left, glancing back over his shoulder to see Dean looking at him curiously.
Gabriel’s eyes flew open as he bolted upright, chest heaving as the cloth fell off his forehead and he saw the boys look up from their research as Gabriel got up and went to the bathroom and closed the door and locked it before he sat down in the cool room, head against the door as he kept his eyes closed, silent. He got up after a while and silently filled a plastic cup with water and swallowed it. He looked in the mirror again and then looked toward the door as he heard a voice in the room…
“Where is he? Where’s Gabriel?” A male voice, unfamiliar to him spoke.
“You really think we’re going to tell you?” Dean’s voice, hard…Gabriel sensed danger and he just wanted to hide, but where could he hide in a bathroom- He blinked when he seemed to go invisible and see straight through where he knew his hands were…Man he was really surprising himself… What exactly was he?
There as a thud and a yelp from Dean as Sam yelled.
“C’mon boys, you know what he is…I’m surprised at you…I would have thought you’d have killed him first thing when you realized it,” The man said even as the door was flung open and Gabriel flinched. He backed away from the door as it was flung open and it bounced off the wall. Gabriel watched the boys look straight through him. Dean was pinned to the wall by a bald man in a suit with a white crown of hair…
The man looked at the bathroom and simply smirked before looking back to Dean, Sam was pinned to a bed. Gabriel noticed his jacket was by the door…and he needed to get to it. He quietly got out of the bathroom in his bare feet and made his way to the jacket.
“I thought you would have killed this Trickster by now, but no, instead you indulged in having him around, but here’s the neat thing…He isn’t a trickster, no, he’s much more powerful than one, and Sam here knows that for sure,” The man said, smirking at Sam.
“Think about it, what is the only thing that can kill demons like that?” The man said as Gabriel got to the coat and oh so silently pulled his sword from it and then carefully waited.
“Think about it Dean, Gabriel was there when your mom died, He even went up to your dad and asked him if he needed somewhere to stay…” The man said smoothly, and Gabriel saw Dean blink in shock.
“And he was there the night Jessica died, Sam,” The man said smoothly still.
“You’re lying, Zachariah!” Sam snarled.
Where the hell is Gabriel? He was in the Bathroom! Came Dean’s voice and Gabriel hefted the sword in hand.
“Don’t you mooks get it? He’s been watching you guys since the night your mom died!” Zachariah said, Gabriel then appearing behind him, holding his sword to Zachariah’s neck.
“Hello Zachariah, I wish I could say it’s nice to meet you but…” He pressed the sword to Zachariah’s neck drawing a line of blood, “It’s not, especially when I can’t defend myself from what you said…” Gabriel said calmly. Zachariah stiffened.
“Hello Gabriel, where were they hiding you?” Zachariah asked, Gabriel only smirked.
“They weren’t hiding me anywhere, I was in plain sight,” He said as he saw the boys exchange glances.
“I heard about what happened to you from Castiel…not like Castiel had much of a choice, I had him trapped in Holy Fire after all…but he told me what happened to you. It’s…tragic that you lost your memory like that.” Zachariah said smoothly, seeming to try too hard to sound sorry, and Gabriel saw right through the act.
“Too bad that you don’t remember that you left Heaven twenty two years ago,” Zachariah said as Gabriel shifted his weight.
“That’s actually one of the few things I DO remember,” Gabriel growled in Zachariah’s ear. He knew the boys were watching as he heard their thoughts running wild in their heads, and he knew that they hated Zachariah, and that he was trying to force Dean into saying yes.
“Ah, so you know that you’re an angel?” Zachariah said with a raised brow.
“I actually guessed it,” Gabriel said, “And I’m guessing from the way you’re acting…that I was one of the higher ups. Am I right?” He said, Zachariah reluctantly said yes.
“Which rank?” Gabriel growled and Zachariah swallowed before answering.
“Arch angel,” He said. Gabriel then stepped around and looked at Zachariah once more.
“Then you’re dismissed,” He said as he dug the sword into Zachariah’s neck, a burst of blue light coming from his eyes and mouth before he collapsed, his wings showing on the floor… The two men were released from their hold as Gabriel panted and made Zachariah’s body vanish.
“I thought you didn’t want to kill anyone else?” Sam said with a raised brow. Gabriel was only silent as he looked at them.
“I didn’t but he…he deserved it, I could practically hear you guys screaming for him to die just there…” Gabriel muttered as he turned away from them, running his hand through his hair.
“You heard what we were thinking?” Dean asked his face showing his surprise as Gabriel looked back and nodded.
“Yes…though I don’t know if what he said about the arch angel and 22 year thing was right…But I do have a sneaking suspicion that it was…” Gabriel muttered as he cleaned his sword and sheathed it in its sheath before Dean cursed.
“He said he had Castiel in holy fire!” Dean yelped as he pulled out his cell and called a number.
“Dean…about time you called,” Gabriel heard Castiel’s voice over the speaker of the cell phone.
“Where are you?” Dean asked, Castiel sighed.
“Trapped in Holy fire…I’m in a old warehouse off of 5th and Main in San Francisco…” Castiel said with a sigh.
“We’ll be right there,” Dean said and started to hang up as Castiel asked the question…
“How? Gabriel doesn’t know how to get here and for all I know there are other angels waiting to ambush you…” Castiel said his voice betraying his worry.
“How about you let us worry about that,” Dean said before he hung up and then he looked to Gabriel.
“Feel up for trying your angel mojo some more?” He asked as Gabriel attached his sheathed sword to his jeans beltloop.
“yeah but…I can’t really control it right now, it’s just…randomly happening…” Gabriel said with a helpless shrug. He went over to the bags of clothes and pulled out a jacket. He then took the tags off and shrugged it on.
“Welp, lets see if this works…” Gabriel mutters, thinking of the street and city Castiel had mentioned and thought of bringing Dean and Sam along. He closed his eyes and focused harder than he thought could be possible. He knew it worked first when his feet slammed into the ground and then the noise of crowds and cars going by. He opened his eyes and looked around. He saw two street signs.
“5th and Main…We’re on the corner…” Gabriel said quietly as he looked around for a warehouse.
“Damn…” Dean said before he clapped Gabriel on the shoulder, “Guess you really are an angel, eh?” He said with a chuckle. Gabriel wasn’t really sure what to say so he continued to look for a warehouse with the boys before they spotted one. Dean and Sam went in first after picking the lock. Gabriel came in last and closed the door behind them, surrounding themselves in a near darkness, with light coming in through dusty windows. Dean pulled out a silver looking knife. Sam followed him as they went up a main staircase and saw three different hallways.
“I guess we split up then,” Dean said as Sam took the left, Dean took the right and Gabriel the middle. Gabriel went down the middle for what seemed like forever… Then he came to the end which was a large room. There in the middle he saw a ring of fire and standing inside that ring of fire was Castiel.
“Gabriel?” Castiel said in shock, looking to him.
“The one and only, c’mon let’s get you outta of there,” He said and he got close to the fire but Castiel yelled at him to stop.
“You can’t cross over the fire! Neither one of us can, we cross over it, we die,” Castiel said, aware of just how close Gabriel had been to making a fatal error. Gabriel bit his lip and looked around helplessly.
“Then how am I supposed to help?” He said as he looked around the room.
"Fire alarm maybe? I know most buildings have them with a sprinkler system,” Castiel said with a shrug before Gabriel nodded and looked around the room.
“But wouldn’t it alert anyone else in the building? Dean and Sam are looking for you, but I don’t know if other angels are here,” Gabriel said as he found a fire alarm and saw how Castiel had known where he was, the window outside had a view of the street.
“So…Zachariah is dead,” Gabriel said calmly as he started the fire alarm. Castiel blinked in shock even as sprinklers went off and put out the flames after a moment.
“You killed him didn’t you?” Castiel said quietly as he approached Gabriel, both now soaked with water as Gabriel led the way out to the main landing.
“Yes,” He said as he ran his hand through his wet hair, and both brothers came running out of their respective hallways, as wet as the two angels. Before they could even blink, Gabriel had moved them all back to the hotel…

“Which rank?” Gabriel growled and Zachariah swallowed before answering.
“Arch angel,” He said. Gabriel then stepped around and looked at Zachariah once more.
“Then you’re dismissed,” He said as he dug the sword into Zachariah’s neck, a burst of blue light coming from his eyes and mouth before he collapsed, his wings showing on the floor… The two men were released from their hold as Gabriel panted and made Zachariah’s body vanish.

Gabriel wasn’t really sure what to say so he continued to look for a warehouse with the boys before they spotted one. Dean and Sam went in first after picking the lock. Gabriel came in last and closed the door behind them, surrounding themselves in a near darkness, with light coming in through dusty windows. Dean pulled out a silver looking knife. Sam followed him as they went up a main staircase and saw three different hallways.
“I guess we split up then,” Dean said as Sam took the left, Dean took the right and Gabriel the middle. Gabriel went down the middle for what seemed like forever… Then he came to the end which was a large room. There in the middle he saw a ring of fire and standing inside that ring of fire was Castiel.
“Gabriel?” Castiel said in shock, looking to him.
“The one and only, c’mon let’s get you outta of there,” He said and he got close to the fire but Castiel yelled at him to stop.
“You can’t cross over the fire! Neither one of us can, we cross over it, we die,” Castiel said, aware of just how close Gabriel had been to making a fatal error. Gabriel bit his lip and looked around helplessly.
“Then how am I supposed to help?” He said as he looked around the room.
"Fire alarm maybe? I know most buildings have them with a sprinkler system,” Castiel said with a shrug before Gabriel nodded and looked around the room.
“But wouldn’t it alert anyone else in the building? Dean and Sam are looking for you, but I don’t know if other angels are here,” Gabriel said as he found a fire alarm and saw how Castiel had known where he was, the window outside had a view of the street.
“So…Zachariah is dead,” Gabriel said calmly as he started the fire alarm. Castiel blinked in shock even as sprinklers went off and put out the flames after a moment.
“You killed him didn’t you?” Castiel said quietly as he approached Gabriel, both now soaked with water as Gabriel led the way out to the main landing.
“Yes,” He said as he ran his hand through his wet hair, and both brothers came running out of their respective hallways, as wet as the two angels. Before they could even blink, Gabriel had moved them all back to the hotel…
