Castiel walked back to the empty garage, where his brother, Gabriel, was still sitting.

"You weren't always Loki." he said, tilting his head slightly at him.

"No, you remember... I was Gabriel once-upon-a-time..." Gabriel puffed, sarcasm lacing his tone.

"No, I mean that the Winchesters came upon 'Loki' three times, including this last one, and you weren't always Loki."

Gabriel smirked. "Very good... Might be hope for you yet."

"No, the whole... slow-dancing alien making some frat boy his bitch, not me. Genius, though." Gabriel said, giving a short bark of a laugh. "I took him shortly after that. Mystery Spot... all mine."

"You lied when you said you have not chosen a side." Castiel pressed.

Gabriel shut down then, standing. "You don't know what you're talking about."

"You killed Dean, all those times... but Sam was your focus. And this time... it was Sam you chose to torture the most."

The smarmy smirk returned. "Yeah... noticed that, did you?"

"You have chosen Lucifer's side--- you're trying to toughen him or get him to give completely up."

Gabriel shrugged again. "Dean will never... as much as we push, as much as we may all want it--- he'll never allow himself to be taken over. Sam... Sam's our only hope to end it all. I'm just so damned tired, Castiel!"

"You could end this in another way! You are more powerful than any of the other angels right now, because you've piggybacked your powers onto a demi-god!"

His lips curled into a knowing smile, but Castiel grabbed him and shook him.

"You're pissed..." he teased. "You've been in a vessel too long..."

Castiel merely gripped him tighter, looking into his eyes. Seeing nothing there, he pushed him away in disgust. As Castiel flapped away, Gabriel leaned against the wall, opening up his fifth candy bar--- a Skor this time.

"I'm going to miss candy bars..." he mused. "Damn Loki vessel and his sweet tooth..."

Throwing the wrapper on the ground, he sighed, shimmering himself out to another part of the world to cause trouble... but, would it really affect him or hurt him to lead Wally and The Beaver to The Colt?

"Well... we'll see... we'll see..." he muttered to himself...
