Purgatory sucked.
No surprise there, right? When dearest Daddy had told all of his children to stay out of Purgatory, no one had made a fuss. Especially once Michael and Lucifer had agreed and given the ‘we’re the oldest so you must listen to us’ glare to he and Raphael. Gabriel had shrugged it all off and continued on his merry way.
Millenia later, and Gabriel was wishing he had listened just a little more. There had to be a trick to getting out of this damn place. No luck so far and he’d been stuck here ever since Lucifer had stabbed him through the chest. He’d combed the place from top to bottom, back to front, side to side. Fucked it, got fucked by it and managed to live to tell the tale…so to speak.
Now, the thing about Purgatory was that there were noises. All. The. Time. It was never quiet there. There was always some monster going bump in the night and thankfully most of the monster recognized Gabriel for what he was and steered way clear of him in his little hidey hole.
So when Gabriel first heard the rough, dulcet tones of Dean Winchester echoing through his tiny cave… Well, color him surprised.
“As I live and breathe,” he said, coming to a stop beside the small fire he’d gotten going just for the hell of it. “Well, semantics, but what the hell are you doing here?”
