Born again...

[Gabriel]

Gabriel gasped for breath as his eyes sprang open and forced himself to sit up. He blinked at the bright light, shielding his eyes with his arm. Where in heaven's name was he? As his eyes adjusted he looked around. Something in his stomach sunk as he realized exactly where he was. He hoped he was wrong. But surely there wasn't a heaven for dead angels was there? No he knew the answer to that. That would just be silly. He looked around him and scooped up a hand full of white fluff. Why couldn't angels see heaven as humans did? Not this stereotypical fluff nonsense. It was many of the few things that drove Gabriel nuts about this place.

Fully recovered from whatever had happened to him before, he stood up and figured he minus well do something useful while he was back home. He had to seek out father and figure out what really happened. The last thing Gabriel could remember was Lucifer stabbing him with Gabe's own sword. What an asshat. Gabriel had always favoured Lucifer too. He thought he treated him pretty damn well compaired to the rest of his siblings. Heck, at least he still talked to Lucifer. The rest of the family upstairs hardly wanted anything to do with Lucifer except kill him.

"Father?" Gabriel called out. He was pretty sure just calling out Daddy's name wouldn't work. He knew very well from the rumors that God had been on a long term vacation. Just as a little kid would, he hoped that he would be able to find things as he had left them eons ago. Of course as he figured, he heard no reply. At least not from the voice he wanted to hear...

[Ezekiel]

"You're still not going to find our father....he's still absent." a voice stated. With that Ezekiel in all his darkest appeal stepped out where he could be seen. His dark black hair covering one eye. His Gothic clothes gently flowed around him, the leather the only thing creaking on him. He had a slight smile on his face, but only slight. His day had been going bad, but that didn't mean he had to be rude to a brother. At least not this brother anyway. This brother was very different.

"Hello Gabriel." Ezekiel stated with a soft voice. His piercing eyes were fixed on Gabriel and his arms were crossed over his chest in a very serious manner. Invisibly to most eyes his wings were tucked back and out of the way against his shoulders, their feathers black and full. He let them ruffle only just slightly. He had been between jobs at this point. Though he couldn't pass up seeing his brother. Gabriel was one of his more favored brothers unlike Michael, Raphael, and Lucifer. Those few gave him migraines.

"Glad to see you......whole......and well." he commented his arms still crossed, but a wider smile crossed his face. He was glad to see Gabriel that was for sure. Finally he let the serious pretense go and let his arms drop to his sides. It was hard to stay tense and serious around Gabe. Ezekiel could guess that was one of the reasons why he hung around the messenger arch. He also knew about Gabe's secret for being Loki. It had to be that certain respect and care for the guy that he had.

"How are you my crazy wild brother. Trickster of all." Ezekiel smirked.

[Castiel]

“Don’t be too sure Ezekiel,” Castiel said appearing besides Gabriel and Ezekiel with a smile. “I have Faith that Father is here, and Father WILL show his face eventually. I do have Faith that he will return, but perhaps now is not the time for him too,” Casitel said. “I have felt his presence when Sam Winchester defeated Lucifer, and when God brought me back,” Castiel added. “As he brought you back as well, he just doesn’t like to...brag about it,” Castiel said with a smile.

He walked over to Gabriel and placed a hand on his shoulder. WIth as much greif as Gabriel caused the Winchesters, Castiel knew that it was a good thing he had his brother back.

“Brother, we need your help,” Castiel cut to the point. Gabriel was needed. The war in Heaven was on and things were getting ugly. 

Raphael was not listening to them, nor was he on their side, about anything. Castiel knew that this war was going to get ugly, and fast. He knew that his brothers and sisters would end up destroying each other. He also knew that they needed help and fast. If Castiel was going to win this, at ALL, he needed all the brothers and sisters he could get on his side.

Castiel looked at Gabriel for a moment and smiled, “It is good to have you back, I had mourned your death,” Castiel said softly to him getting serious a moment.

[Gabriel]

Gabriel turned around and rolled his eyes as one of his brothers greeted him. It could have been worse. At least it was only Ezekiel, one of the few that he actually liked and could tolerate. He figured his other brothers would all show up at once pretty soon wondering why he was there and why he wasn't dead like everyone to believed him to be.

"Hello Ezekiel. It's been a while." He said with a slight smile as he took a few steps towards his brother. "It's good to see you too." He chuckled lightly as he looked down at himself at the 'whole' comment. "Yes it's a bit surprising isn't it?" He looked back up at Zeke with a questioning look. "Last thing I remember is....Lucifer...." He trailed off as his smile faded and his eyes locked onto something that wasn't there as he was lost in the memory.

He shook himself back to the present. "I'm well considering my own brother just gutted me to pieces.." He said with a disgusted smile. "And to think I ever liked that bastard, even just a little." Being tricked like that had really pissed him off. He knew very well how strong and clever Lucifer was but he felt confidant enough at the time that he could outsmart his brother. Clearly he was wrong. Lucifer was the only one who could see straight through Gabriel's tricks other than God himself. This time around he would make certain to sharpen his skills in case another encounter came around.

Gabriel looked over his shoulder as Castiel entered the scene. Another brother he could somewhat tolerate. Like himself, Castiel was smart enough to remove himself from the whole Michael vs Lucifer equation but unfortunately not fast enough to be completely uninvolved like he was. Gabriel took in what Castiel had to say but it was all repetitive. His younger brother was one of the few left with such strong faith left in him. He truly believed that their father was still out there. Gabriel wasn't even going to try and argue this one.

"Count me in." He said with a smirk as Castiel explained the war situation between their siblings. "Lucifer may have found my weak spot, but I still have a few tricks up my sleeves." He looked past Castiel half expecting more arches or warriors to start appearing. "It's good to be back."

[A'Albiel]

A’Albiel was ecstatic. Michael had told her that Gabriel was coming back, and she was thrilled. She remembered when Lucifer killed Gabriel, how sad she had been, and for quit some time too. Gabriel was one of her favorite brothers. He taught her to sing, and taught her that it was okay to feel some human emotions even though she was an angel. She felt she learned quite a bit from him, and to have Michael tell her that he was back was thrilling to her.

Michael edged her towards the angels who were speaking to one another. She looked back at him as he was going to disappear a bit. She knew the angels weren’t very fond of Michael, though she hoped that would change soon. A’Albiel believed in Michael, and she believed in her brothers. She knew the fighting would stop eventually.

A’Albiel smiled at Gabriel as she started to slowly walk forward. “Gabriel...” she whispered and she could feel the tears forming in her eyes.

A’Albiel had an emotional run lately and most of that was because she had lost Michael, and had him returned, then to make things worse, she was by herself hiding out on Earth scared and alone.

She walked in as Gabriel told Castiel that he was with him on their plan to overthrow Raphael. She smiled a little and walked closer.

“Gabriel...” she whispered.

She felt like she wanted to sing, but didn’t. Not yet. Her eyes misted instead. She started to cry because she was so happy he was back. She wiped her eyes worried that Gabriel wouldn’t want this much attention.

“I have mourned your death brother....” A’Albiel managed to choke out and she wiped her eyes again. “i-I’m sorry.....I have been around the humans too long...” she said scared she would get reprimanded. “I shall go receive my punishment...” she said scared that Zachariah would do something to her. 


[lyssa]

Kiara looked around confused as she eyed what had once been the only place she had known. It had been so may years since she had been in Heaven. The only reason she was here now was because she wanted to help Castiel against Raphael and those who followed him. She had never agreed with him on anything he had said. She loved their Father and trusted him. She would never turn on him or think up meaningless things like Raphael was doing. Father would never want the humans he so lovingly made to die like they already were.

She glanced around before slowly walking to where she heard familiar vocies coming from. She could easily reconize Castiel, Gabriel, Ezekiel, and A’Albiel. They had all known each other for so long. Living in the human world for so long though had probably changed Kiara but she knew her old friends would remember her. She smiled as she saw them and stepped right up by Castiel. "It has been a long time since we have all been up here together." She said offhandedly to them. Last time she really couldn't remember when. She cocked her head to the side and watched them.

"So how are we going to stop Raphael? That is what was being talked about, correct?" She asked them. In all honesty he may be quite hard to kill or take down. He was pretty high up on the angel list after all.

[Ezekiel]

Ezekiel crossed his arms over his chest. His dark cloths wrinkled under the pressure. The Arch of Death was more of a stand back aloof sort. He didn't deem getting up in everyones faces when it wasn't needed. Though it wasn't like he wasn't emotional to any degree. He just wasn't Ally emotional. That to him was just a bit too much. Then again, he was used to emotions.

Ezekiel could control them better than Ally could. He had to, by job trade it was required. Though, if a person crossing cried, or was scared, or had ill feelings; he would be right there to help them transition. It was what he was meant to do. But right now at this point, he didn't have to get all close and lovey dovey with his siblings. Their love went beyond touch and feel. It was known. That was okay for Ezekiel, he had a rep to uphold after all.

Ezekiel was glad that Gabe was back. But then again he didn't heve to worry about his brother. Gabriel was one that just didn't go away easily. Like a bouncy ball he always seemed to bounce back from just about anything. He did have to smile a bit when he found out that Gabe was going to jump back into the game a bit, even if he figured he didn't have to. But he supposed Gabe wanted to pick Lucifers feathers off one by one personally. Ezekiel wouldn't mind seeing that, thats for sure. Then again, somewhere in the back of his mind he had to be a bit of a twisted angel in order to stand death as was.

"Well thats good to hear that nothings going to keep you down and out for the count there Gabester." he stated with a smirk. "At least we know your gonna be able to help and I am not the only one having to play pick up the trash behind everyone else. You see, we are the responsible one around here, which I think is somewhat sad."

But at leas there was now him, Gabriel, Kaira, Cas, and Ally to take on the tasks of heaven. It was better than a sharp pain in the side thats for sure. Or being trapped in hell like dear ol' Lucy boy. Now that would be a pain. Eternity with a self rightous dick. No, thanks in his mind. He'd rather be put into oblivion for that. Not that he didn't somewhere deep, deep, deep down inside care about Lucifer, at the same time he was tired of migraines. So it was up to the group as a whole what they were going to do next.
