Chapter 3

 

Sam gently laid Dean down on the bed and then woke him, cradling Dean close as green eyes slowly opened. Dean cringed but then focused on him and Sam was surprised to suddenly find Dean clinging to him.

 

“It's okay Dean, I've got you.” He soothed, ignoring Gabriel in the doorway. Something was seriously wrong for Dean to be practically choking him in a hug. He'd expected Dean to pull away from him; due to the dreams he'd been sent.

“Shh, it's okay. I won't let anyone hurt you.” He soothed and Dean stared up at him, fear and hope waring in his eyes.

 

“Sammy? Lu....lucifer?” Dean questioned, practically trembling.

 

“All of the above.” Sam whispered, trying to tease a little to calm Dean down. Dean started to shake and Sam shifted so that he was fully holding Dean, protecting him with his own body.

“It's okay Dean, I'm here, you're safe.” He whispered, not knowing what else to do. He looked up at Gabriel, silently pleading for help.

 

Gabriel stared at the two on the bed, shocked by Lucifer's behaviour when it came to Dean. Was it possible that Sam was somehow influencing him or something? When his older brother stared at him, silently pleading for his help, he didn't know what to do except slowly walk over and kneel next to the bed. He slowly reached out and laid a hand over his brother's, smirking when the older angel relaxed a bit. He reached out again, making sure Dean could see his hand coming and laid it gently on the man's forehead, trying to give what comfort he could using the limited Grace he still had. Dean whimpered at the first touch but then slowly relaxed further and Gabriel frowned, something was wrong there. An angel's touch should not make someone scared. Lucifer stared at him and Gabriel shrugged.

 

“You gonna freak if I try and do a deeper scan?” He asked and his older brother shook his head, tightening his grip on Dean and placing a gentle kiss on the top of his head.

“Right then, just relax Dean. I won't hurt you and not just cause if I did big bro here might smite me.” Gabriel said and Dean frowned.

 

“Not a Trickster?” he asked and the angel shrugged.

 

“Archangel technically, name's actually Gabriel. Ran away from home after Lucifer and Michael's little spat.” Gabriel explained as he began scanning Dean. It was always better for someone not attached to the subject to do the scan and Lucifer was obviously very attached to Dean. What he found.....

“Want help turning Raphael into a greasy stain?” He growled out and watched his brother's eyes go wide.

 

“What did he do?” Lucifer demanded and Dean whimpered. They both rushed to assure the mortal it wasn't him they were mad at. Gabriel gave him a pointed look and Lucifer nodded, easy Dean into a deep sleep.

“I really need to stop doing that to him, can't be helping him adjust to everything that's happened.”

 

“Speaking of....you want to tell me what's going on? Obviously the Seals broke but you don't seem intent on bringing about the apocalypse or anything. And why the hell did Sam say yes, and so quickly?” Gabriel demanded so Lucifer told him, smirking at the stunned look on his little brothers' face when he finished. Then Gabriel started laughing.

“You sure you're not the one that's been posing as a Trickster? Brilliant! I...well I'm glad you're back, I missed you.” Gabriel admitted and his brother smiled, reaching over to ruffle his hair.

 

“I missed you too Gabe. I am sorry for never listening back then.....and I understand you wanting to stay out of this.”

 

“Not this time bro, what they're doing is wrong. I can't say I could fight Michael but I'm siding with you.” Gabriel said and Sam smiled at him in thanks.

 

“Now that we've cleared that up....I need to know what they did to him Gabriel.”

 

“I know Luci...Sam....which do you prefer anyway?”

 

“The others find Sam easier and it has less bad connotations.”

 

“True. Sam it is.” Gabriel answered and then sighed at the look Sam gave him.

“You don't want to know bro, seriously. What they made him see and experience in those nightmares....it's worse than hell and you should know since you lived there.” Gabriel told him sadly, really not wanting to have to get into specifics.

 

“He.....he called me a monster, said I was going to kill everyone when he woke up this morning but then just now....”

 

“Maybe a part of him knew what he was saying wasn't really him?” Gabriel suggested and Sam frowned.

 

“Maybe. What do I do now Gabe? Dean needs me, Raphael and the others need to be stopped, I don't even know what Michael's doing or thinking at the moment....I had sent Castiel to find Father before they took Dean. I think He's the only one who could stop this and He must know what is happening, there's no other way my plan with Sam would have worked.” Sam said and Gabriel frowned in thought.

 

“Guess so......is Castiel going to go back to looking for Him?” He asked and Sam nodded.

“I could try and see what Michael's take on all this is.” He offered and Sam stared at him for a while before nodding.

 

“I suppose I don't have to tell you to be careful.”

 

“You taught me most of what I know bro, I'll be fine. You look after Dean, keep the mortals safe.” Gabriel said and then he left.

 

Sam shifted on the bed and then woke Dean, knowing they needed to talk. Sleep filled green eyes slowly opened and then Dean tensed in fear.

 

“It's okay, it's me Dean.” He whispered, smiling when Dean relaxed almost completely.

 

“Sam? Where did he go?”

 

“Gabriel's gone to find some intel, just like Cas is looking for God. Bobby's out in the yard working on something so it's just us in here.”

 

“Okay.” Some nervousness came back into Dean's voice at that and it hurt but it was to be expected.

 

“Dean we need to talk about some things.”

 

“Like what?” Dean asked, going tense.

 

“We can start with how you're dealing with knowing the truth about me.”

 

“No chick flicks.” Dean practically snarled and Sam pulled him closer.

 

“We have to Dean. Someone managed to get into your dreams and mess with your head. The only way I'm gonna find out what they did is by talking. Dean please....hearing you say those things.....reacting like that to me.....I need you Dean, I love you bro.” He added the last because he knew Dean wasn't ready to know that he loved him as much more than a brother.

 

“I...Sammy....” Dean trailed off, obviously scared to say anything and Sam turned Dean in his arms so that they were face to face. He reached out and gently traced Dean's face, smiling as Dean relaxed again.

 

“Dean, no matter what I'd never hurt you, you have to believe that.” Sam promised him and Dean looked away.

 

“So what, you trying to strangle me in that hotel room was just you being friendly?” Dean asked quietly and Sam frowned before his eyes went wide and he reached out to gently touch the faint bruising he could see. He felt Dean tense beneath his touch and gently healed the bruises, Dean shivering at the feel of his power.

 

“Dean....I'll never forgive myself for hurting you.” Sam whispered, hugging Dean tightly.

“Most of that was because of Ruby's blood, the rest was a leftover of some small influence I'd managed to have, to make it so that Lilith would die by my, Sam's, hand. You were trying to stop that....added to the rage from the demon blood....I tried to stop Dean. It'll never happen again.” Sam explained and Dean stared at him, not sure what to believe.

“Dean please.” Sam whispered and Dean leant into him, making Sam smile as he gently stroked through the short blonde hair.

 

“I...I see things, in my dreams Sam, like the stuff before you removed the hell things.” Dean eventually admitted and Sam swore softly.

 

“It's not real Dean, I'd never let someone do that to you.” Sam swore to him and Dean nodded.

“I know what they think of me and yeah, maybe it was once true but I promise, I don't want to hurt anyone. This is why we need to talk Dean; I can't help unless you tell me what's going on in that head of yours.” Sam teased and Dean swatted at him.

“Can you do that?”

 

“I'll try.” Dean said and Sam knew that was all he'd get for now.

 

“Try to sleep Dean, you were hurt, Gabriel healed the worst of the injuries and I finished it up but you should still try and sleep.”

 

“Without you knocking me out?” Dean asked and Sam gave him a sheepish smile.

 

“Sorry. Promise to try not to do that unless utterly necessary.” Sam said and Dean nodded, settling in to sleep after he realised Sam had no intention of letting him go.

 

“Sam....”

 

“Please Dean, not like I sleep anymore.” Sam said and Dean's eyes widened.

 

“What?”

 

“Angels don't sleep, even Fallen ones. I'll watch over you.” Sam promised and Dean nodded, wriggling a bit to get more comfortable and then he slowly drifted off to sleep. Sam lay on the bed, gently holding him as Dean slept and keeping a mental eye on the area surrounding Bobby's property. He did not want to be surprised by his old family again.

 

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

“Hey Bobby.” Sam greeted as he walked into the kitchen.

“Smells good.” He told the hunter as he saw him grilling dinner.

 

“So you still eat?”

 

“Don't need to but I enjoy food and hey, no longer need to worry about gaining weight. Dean's in the shower, he'll be down soon.”

 

“He alright?” Bobby asked and Sam smiled slightly.

 

“Getting there.”

 

“Good. Where's Castiel and the other guy?”

 

“Cas is back to finding Joshua to see what Father is doing and Gabriel, who we met pretending to be a Trickster, is getting intel on Michael. For now we should probably stay here unless something drastic happens. I'll be finishing the warding I was going to add in a while.” Sam told him as he set the table and Bobby nodded, starting to put the food on plates just as Dean came downstairs and joined them.

 

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

Sam was at Dean's side instantly as he began to thrash and scream in his sleep. Sam swore as he felt another archangel's power around Dean, moving to gently restrain him. Sam reached out and blocked the other as gently as he could, not wanting to hurt Dean any more than his `brother' had.....felt like Raphael again. He really needed to have words with the so called `healer' of the family.

 

“Dean its okay, I'm here. You need to wake up now.” Sam called, gently gripping Dean's upper arms. It took several minutes but finally wild green eyes snapped open. Dean was panting for air, shaking and when he saw Sam he screamed, trying to get away from him.

“Dean no, it's okay, you're safe.” Sam whispered and then he slowly reached out to Dean with what of his Grace hadn't been tainted by his Fall, trying to sooth Dean before he gave himself a heart attack or something. Dean froze and then whimpered before slowly beginning to relax.

“Hey, you with me Dean?” Sam whispered and Dean frowned.

 

“Sammy?” He croaked and Sam held a glass of water to his lips, letting Dean sip it.

 

“Yeah, it's me. Raphael managed to get at you in your dreams again.” Sam whispered calmly, despite the rage he felt at the pain Dean was being put through. Dean whimpered again and tried to get away.

“Dean? What's wrong?” He asked and Dean looked at him.

 

“Mad....so mad.” Dean whispered and Sam froze. How did Dean know he was mad?

 

“Dean its okay, I'm not mad at you.” Sam whispered, gently pulling Dean into his arms as he closed his eyes and focused only on feelings of love and safety. Sure enough Dean practically melted in his arms.

“That's it Dean, you're safe and loved. Everything will be okay.” Sam soothed, rocking them until Dean fell asleep and then he nudged Dean into a far deeper sleeper before resettling him on the bed.

 

Sam slipped out of the room to find a worried Bobby in the hallway.

 

“What happened?” The hunter demanded and Sam sighed.

 

“Raphael messed with his dreams again and.....I'm not positive yet but I think he did something to Dean. I'll need more evidence once Dean's awake again but if it's what I think....Dean's going to have a really hard time and we need to stay calm around him for now, okay?”

 

“Alright. But I want to know what's going on soon.” Bobby demanded and Sam nodded.
