Trouble looking for a home

[castfromhome]

I like it here.

Find me my brothers, or maybe Sam. Anyone to talk to. I'm bored and you know that never ends well for anyone.

[Side-eye, side-eye, side-eye]

What do you want with Sam?

[castfromhome]

Me? Oh nothing. Looking to connect with an old friend.

[diana_abel]

Not sure I believe you...

[fromfryingpantofire]

[Yeah, somebody's eying those tags.]

Nobody's buying.

[castfromhome]

Now Sam, I find that hard to believe. I have missed you.

[betterthisway]

No. You're not real.

[You can't be. And Cas won't tell you that Sam, Dean, Gabriel, Balthazar and him are hanging our at distantskies. It's not going to happen. No.]

You're already getting Ellen. Don't get greedy. <3

[castfromhome]

Hardly the way to greet family, little brother. I'm hurt.

I'm always greedy. Gimme ALL the castmates!

[betterthisway]

Please go away.

hokay. this one never shuts up, I warn you

[low_key_angel]

Don't mind him, Cas. He's just pissed he lost the Miss Congeniality contest.

You.. you're not lookin so hot bro.

Balthazar's turn to play.

[playangel]

Ah. Big Brother Gabe. Still snarky as always.

..Though he's right, Luci. You look absolutely horrid.

Yes! Bring me all the angels you've got.

[low_key_angel]

What can I say? It's a gift.

And between you and me? We can't really blame him. Hell's spa? Trust me, you don't wanna know what goes on there.

my headcanon: Gabe raised Balthy.

[playangel]

Of course it is. I learnt some of my best snarky comments from you.

I'd rather not even think about it. I have to keep this skin beautiful some how. And always grooming my wings.

They are kindred spirits aren't they?

[low_key_angel]

I swear I think you learned that prissiness from Raphael before he got too stuffy for his own good. [All the teasing, little bro.]

Nice vessel though. Suits you.

Most definitely.

[playangel]

Prissiness? Maybe. I live being a diva. It's fun.

I thought so. Like his wardrobe. So many vnecks.

[servingmichael]

Why are you looking for us?

[Little brother so doesn't trust you.]

[castfromhome]

[Wise move little brother.]

Raphael. Because I've missed the company of my family. Does that surprise you?

[servingmichael]

[The quiet one was always more observant and wise than any of you gave him credit for.]

Lucifer. Surprise me, no. That doesn't explain what you want.

[castfromhome]

[You say quiet and observant, he says afraid and Michael's pet. Potayto, potahto, little brother.]

Michael is hardly a dazzling conversationalist. Between you and me, I think he still believes Father is alive and will somehow rescue his good little soldier.

What's Luci's canon point, btw?

[servingmichael]

[He chose to stay with Michael. After Lucifer left, after God did, after Gabriel did. It's not fear, it's love.]

He is alive. But He's washed His hands of us.

[Except Castiel. Raphael isn't happy - quite the opposite, but that isn't new by any stretch.]

around s6 or so. After his fall back into Hell. But it's all variable

[castfromhome]

[Correction. He stayed after Lucifer was cast out, after Dad quit caring and after Gabriel gave up. He calls 'em like he sees 'em.]

Can you be so sure? He stopped talking to anyone a long time ago. The Plan went skidding off the rails a long time ago, brother. Why bother playing by the rules when everyone else has set the rule book on fire?

Raph is post Swan-Song! By a few hours.

[servingmichael]

[You all still left them alone. They four could have run Heaven together, without God. Instead Lucifer broke everything.]

He raised Castiel after you killed him. After I did. And there is still one angel He talks to.

And I play by the Plan because it's what I want.

[You know that line between "following" and "blasphemy"? Raphael is stomping on it.]

[castfromhome]

[Run Heaven without God? Four brothers who could barely speak before his Fall? Forgive Lucifer while he busts the proverbial gut. He didn't break what was already flawed.[

He did? Are you so sure it was Him and not someone else?

[Have a deeply disdainful look] You always did lack imagination.

[servingmichael]

[Yes them. If anyone was going to be the New God, it should have been them. Or...failing them, himself.]

Who else could have raised a smited angel and made him more powerful? Use logic brother.

[You don't get to know about Joshua.]

You're behind the times.

[Little brother is creative when he wants to be.]

[castfromhome]

[Why Raphael. Is that ego talking? You're making him all tingly.]

It takes power to reassemble shattered grace, Raphael. That power isn't exclusive to Heaven. Expand your horizons.

[servingmichael]

[Little brother grew up while you were away.]

Given I first thought you had, I'm not disputing. But I was watching.

[castfromhome]

[*sniff* He's so proud.]

Watching. It's what you were always best at.

[servingmichael]

[Everyone forgets Michael left Lucifer alone with Raphael those couple of times...he's both their little brothers.]

Michael told me not to interfere. He didn't trust you.

[Otherwise? He'd have pulled them both up before the Cage closed. And then got creative on wayward vessels.]

And he needed someone behind him.

[castfromhome]

[Everyone but Lucifer. Because contrary to the image the Christians cultivated and Michael encouraged, he never stopped loving his brothers. All of them. He'll love and hate Michael for the rest of his existence.

Forgive the wolfish grin] But just far enough behind that you didn't fall with him. Very delicate of you.

[servingmichael]

[The others don't understand Raphael loves them as well, even with his more ruthless reign in Heaven is based in love. In wanting to protect what's left of his family.]

You know Michael's temper. Besides it would do no good to have all three of us inside. Someone has to reopen it.

[castfromhome]

Start with Purgatory. Get Gabriel back. [The one death he'd truly mourned. The only one he wanted to set right.]

The seals are already broken. How will you open it this time, I wonder?

[servingmichael]

Assuming Gabriel is in Purgatory.

[He missed him too.]

The Seals are broken, so the Cage is merely closed, not sealed. The rings should reopen it.

[Or something. He'll figure it out. He's only had a few hours.]
