Disclaimer: Not mine.

I oopsed last chapter. Hariel was human ten years ago...not four. Forgot to adjust the date. Sorry.

 

Chapter 2

 

Dean and Castiel stared at Hariel in shock.....he'd been human ten years ago? But how? A low groan from the bed had Dean instantly back at his brothers side.

 

“Sam? Come on Sammy rise and shine.” He encouraged and slowly hazel eyes fluttered open.

 

“Dean?” Sam grumbled and went to sit up, Dean helped him up and Sam looked around before freezing as he spotted Hariel. The look he gave the archangel was one of pain as he realised the angel must have knocked him out. Hariel just smiled gently at him.

 

“Feeling better?” The angel asked and Sam's eyes widened as he realised his head no longer hurt.

 

“You....how?” Sam managed to get out and Hariel grinned.

 

“Archangel. Figured you'd like a clear head.” Was the answer and Sam nodded, smiling slightly at him.

 

“Thanks. Could you, well could you at least warn me first if there's a next time?” Sam asked hesitantly and Hariel nodded.

 

“Of course. I didn't ask this time because you had no reason to trust what I said and you were all of two seconds away from a massive nosebleed.” Hariel explained and Sam nodded, accepting the explanation.

 

“So what's going on?” Sam asked curiously as he moved to sit on the edge of the bed.

 

“Other than Hariel apparently once being human which is why he's different to other angels? Not much.” Dean answered his brother and Sam stared in shock.

 

“You were human? How long ago?” Sam asked excitedly and Hariel grinned at him.

 

“Ten years ago.” Hariel answered and Sam stared at him in shock.

 

“The orders you've been told about concerning you are false Sam. Any angel that tries to lay a hand on you will deal with me.” Hariel promised him and Sam closed his eyes.

 

“I....” Sam honestly didn't know what to say to that, though he was relieved to hear he wasn't possibly going to be killed one day. He looked at Hariel in thanks and the angel nodded.

 

“So what's with using a kid as a vessel?” Dean asked and Hariel stared at him before grinning.

 

“Who said I'm using a vessel?” Was the answer.

“This is me Dean. One of the perks of once being human, I kept my body, of course I haven't physically aged a day in ten years....but looking young is a good way to be underestimated.” He told them and it made sense.

 

“So how does a human become an archangel?” Sam asked and Hariel shrugged.

 

“I died.....and then I woke up again. Michael sensed it and came to see what was going on, when he realised he took me to Heaven.” Hariel stated and they realised that was all he was going to say on the matter. Hariel was tempted to tell them more but he didn't want to risk it. As it was he was having fun suppressing certain aspects of himself.....Castiel was too in awe of him being an archangel to try and sense him more than that but Sam? He knew the young man would sense the darker aspects of his being and he didn't want that getting out.

 

“So is Hariel your human name?” Dean asked and he shook his head.

 

“Michael named me Hariel but it is close enough to the name I was born with that it didn't take much to get used to.” He answered, sitting down at the rooms' small table. He knew they were curious about him and couldn't blame them so he would answer them....up to a certain point.

 

“Why are you here?” Sam asked.

 

“Michael asked me to help out. And after ten years of doing nothing I was rather eager to come back to Earth.” Hariel answered and all three stared at him in shock.

 

“We're trying to stop the apocalypse, other angels have been killed......and you wanted to come?”

 

“When Michael took me to Heaven he created my very own little piece of Paradise. The most beautiful garden you could ever imagine. But after a while even Paradise can get boring, especially when you're alone most of the time. Not to mention Archangels by our very nature are warriors and I was no stranger to war when I was human either. Maybe because I was human I care more for you than the others.....I can't just sit by and watch the Earth destroyed by what they're trying to start.” He explained softly.

 

“So what happens now?” Sam asked and Hariel shrugged.

 

“I'll be staying with you a lot of the time and helping Michael find the traitors for the rest. If you need me when I'm gone just call my name and I'll come as soon as I can.

 

```````````````````````````````````

“Found anything yet?” Michael turned to smile at his baby brother....nephew really. He was very glad Hariel was nothing like his many times removed grandfather, to have someone he could truly call family again was the best thing to happen to him in millennia.

 

“Not yet. If you meet Uriel do not trust him though.” Michael warned and Hariel nodded, moving closer to hug him.

 

“Poor Sam.....Uriel threatened to kill him and made Castiel think they had orders to do so if Sam used his powers. He was scared of me Mike.” Hariel told him and Michael frowned. Yes, Sam could be a threat but by saying those things to him it was more likely to push him into the enemy's camp than make him change.

 

“You assured him those weren't true orders?”

 

“Yeah, and I healed some of the damage done in the last fight when he had to use his powers. I want to train him Mike, teach him to truly use his powers without them using him. But the only way to do that.....”

 

“Is to tell them the full truth of your heritage.” Michael finished for him and Hariel nodded sadly.

 

“He's scared and lost....just like I was.” He whispered and Michael held him close.

 

“You could swear him to an Unbreakable Vow, couldn't you?” He asked and Hariel looked up at him, eyes practically glowing with hope.

 

“You mean you don't mind if I tell him?”

 

“Hariel....” Michael sighed. Hariel in many ways was so strong....and yet if there was a chance of losing Michael's trust or anything he reverted to the scared child he'd once been.

“It is your choice little one; I just want you to be safe. If Samuel cannot tell anyone then there is no added risk.” Michael reassured him and Hariel smiled.

“You like them, don't you?”

 

“Yeah. Wish I'd had someone like Dean back then and Sam sort of reminds me of myself. Castiel....he's so loyal and just trying to do the right thing and it doesn't help that he's been given contradictory orders and ones he instinctively knows are wrong.” Hariel said and Michael nodded in understanding.

“We'd need a bonder for the Vow to work.” Hariel said, changing the subject.

 

“No you don't. It will be just as Unbreakable as the wizard version but you are an angel now little brother.” Michael told him and Hariel grinned.

 

“I think I'm going to go slip into the library.” Hariel told him and then darted in for a quick hug before leaving. He'd gotten very good at sneaking around even other angel's so he could occasionally spend time in Heaven's Library.

 

```````````````````````````````````````````````

Hariel appeared outside the motel room, not wanting to startle the brothers but paused with his hand poised to knock. He frowned and then unlocked the door with a flick of his wrist and then entered cautiously, a slender blade ready in his hand. Emerald eyes scanned the room for threats and then his heart lodged in his throat as he took in the scene. Sam Winchester was curled in a ball in the space between the beds, sobbing his heart out and so out of it he hadn't realised he was no longer alone. Hariel moved quickly to his side, dropping to his knees and gently reaching out to the distraught young man. Sam started and swung wildly but Hariel easily held him at bay.

 

“Easy Sam, its Hariel. Are you hurt?” Hariel whispered softly and Sam went limp in his grip, Hariel shifting so that he could support the hunter. Sam was still crying and Hariel held him close, not caring that his shirt was being ruined. He gently rubbed Sam's back, letting his very Grace sooth Sam as his sobs slowly settled. He let Sam pull back once he'd stopped crying, Sam refusing to look at him as he dried his eyes.

“Are you alright?” He asked and Sam nodded, staring at the floor.

“Sam what happened? Where are Dean and Castiel?” Hariel pushed as gently as he could. Sam just shrugged listlessly and Hariel sighed, reaching out to tip Sam's face upwards.

“I want to help you Sam but I can't if you won't talk to me.” Hariel assured him, making and keeping eye contact.

 

“Why? I'm just the Freak with demon blood.” Sam mumbled and Hariel froze, eyes wide and then he reached out and grabbed Sam by the shoulders, making him gasp in shock.

 

“Don't you dare call yourself a Freak!” Hariel snapped angrily and Sam quailed in fear at the sight of the enraged Archangel. Seeing Sam's fear Hariel forced himself to calm down and then he hugged Sam.

“You are not a freak Sam, what happened to you was not your choice and you've done the best you can with it.” Hariel told him softly and Sam pulled back to stare at him in shock. Hariel smiled and stood, offering Sam a hand up and he hesitantly took it, letting Hariel help him up and then they sat facing each other on the bed.

“Can you tell me what happened?”

 

“Cas left soon after you did, he doesn't stay around after fights or anything. Only reason he stayed was because you were here. Dean....we had a fight again. I don't know where he went. I spent four months praying for Dean to be back and now....I want my big brother back.” Sam whispered, unable to keep everything inside when Hariel had been so kind and was just listening to him.

“He was gone and I was alone....and Ruby came and she gave me a way to fight back and I was saving people. The knife kills the host, what I do....most of them survive. Is that wrong?”

 

“No Sam. Your motives were pure. I want to help you Sam but I need you to do something as well.”

 

“What?” Sam asked, instantly suspicious and Hariel laughed, earning him a glare.

 

“Sorry but you just really reminded me of myself then. I assure you it's nothing bad. For me to help you, you will learn things that have been kept secret for a reason. You will have to take a vow to keep those secrets and to stop going to Ruby, nothing more.”

 

“Keep them from who?”

 

“Everyone. If you break the vow you will die. It's called an Unbreakable Vow for a reason. I can teach you to use and control your powers without the side affects you currently suffer from.” Hariel told him and Sam chewed his lip. It was more than tempting but to add another secret to the others he had kept from Dean?

“I will let Dean know not to pester you about it if that's what you're worried about.” Hariel stated and Sam blinked in surprise before nodding.

 

“Okay.”

 

```````````````````````````````````````````

“Hello Dean.” A voice called and Dean looked around, finding himself beside a lake and in front of him was a rather imposing looking man.

“You're dreaming because we need to talk.”

 

“Who are you?” Dean demanded and then he watched as shadowing wings stretched form the strangers back in a familiar display.

 

“Michael.”

 

TBC...

So from the votes in the poll I'd say everyone has guessed Hariel is Harry. As for the pairing, HarryGabriel is currently winning with HarrySam coming second. I will pick one of the top two. Either way Gabriel will show up eventually even if he isn't with Harry.
