I do not own Supernatural.

Early Years

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your going to get. Forest Gump said that and it really applies to me after all when God created me right after Michael and Lucifer i never thought i'd become a pagan trickster but that a bit to far ahead in my story so lets start at the beginnig.

I remember the day i was born, most people can't but angels can. I remember God spoke my name and i existed. It was then me, Michael, Lucifer and Raphael saw the face of our father, a face which no eyes would ever see again. His face was so amazing and indescribable that to even try would be impossible.

I remember God made us the Archangel and after us came the Angels. God loved Lucifer more then any of us, more than Michael, more than me but none of us were jealous after all Lucifer was such a nice guy and he really looked out for me. I remember he taught me how to use my powers.

'Alright Gabriel this is how you clone yourself' he said creating a copy of himself. 'Now you try' Lucifer's copy finished. I concentrated and created a copy of myself. 'Yes' i cheered as i saw Lucifer smile but i lost concentration and the clone disappeared. 'No' i moaned 'I'll never get this'. 'Of course you will' Lucifer said putting his hand on my shoulder 'Now try again Little Brother '

I remember the day of Lucifer's trial. God called me, Michael and Raphael to his chamber. 'Lucifer what you done' God asked. 'I have done nothing Father, I merely showed your newest creation for they truely our, monsters' Lucifer said. 'It was not your place to do so' he said. 'Father how can fault me for this, you love these abomination more than us, more than your first creations, your beautiful and perfect angels, how can do this' Lucifer said

'I think you mean more than you' Father said. 'This has nothing to do with me' Lucifer began but was interrupted by God. 'What you did to Lilith was unforgivable, You are no longer in heaven and if you attack the humans again your punishment for that will be a thousand times worse'.

Lucifer began to leave but turned and said 'Tell me one thing before i go, Why do you prefer humans to us?' 'They have something you will never have' God said. When Lucifer left Heaven I turned to my Father and said 'Father Don't you think you were cruel to Lucifer'.

I thought he would smite me instead he said 'One day Gabriel you will understand why i did this'.You know what he was right because i do understand now.

Of course Lucifer did not heed Father's warning and next thing I knew it was Michael was at war with Lucifer and they were going at it like Freddy vs Jason. Michael came back to Heaven and i was worried I had lost a brother.

'Lucifer's not dead Gabriel, he''s been banished to hell along with Lilith and the Angel who supported him have either been killed or stripped of their grace' Michael said heading toward Father chamber. I was sad at this and nearly broke down crying but Michael interupted. Get Raphael and meet me in Father's chamber' Michael said. 'Is Father ok' I asked. 'He's gone' Michael replied.

With Raphael the three of us searched everywhere on Earth, Heaven and even Hell but to no aveil. God was gone and Michael took his place as Leader of Heaven. It was actually easy seen as how no but the three and Lucifer had ever met God.

After Lucifer fell and God's disappeared I got lonely. All the Angels wanted to do was blame all the problems on Humanity. I probably would have joined them but what Dad said kept repeating in my head 'They have something we can never had'. Of course at the time i didn't know what he meant.

I went to a part of Heaven where Angel can play Big Brother on the Earth and decided to look down on the humans till i discovered what God meant by that. It was there that I met the greatest friend I ever had in heaven.

When i got there their was already another Angel looking down. She turned and saw me. 'You can look to if you want' she said. 'Ok' I said and sat down and joined her. 'So what bring an all powerful Archangel to here to looked at Earth?' she asked.

'I'm just trying to figure something out' I said. 'What' she asked. 'I was told the Humans have something we don't and I want to know what' I said. 'Well isn't it obvious' she said. 'No' I replied. 'Keep looking and tell me in a few hours' she said.

So I looked at the Earth and all the Humans and I saw crime, hatred, corruption and violence and this frightened me but I saw something else to kindness, selflessness,joy, laughter and most of all love in all shapes and forms. It was so beautiful I nearly cried. She looked at me and said 'Do you have your answer'. 'Yes' I said 'Thank you for showing me this'. Anytime by the way I'm Anna' she said. 'I'm Gabriel' I said extending my hand. We shook hands and that was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

After that day me and Anna were the best of friends and it didn't take me long to figure why she envied Humans. It was because had the ability to love. Now Angel have this ability to but it can only be unlocked by spending time with humans and learning empathy from them.

But Anna well let just say their was certain Angel in Heaven she wished she could love(But i'm told she got that wish one day before being betrayed). Yep i remember him, a certain Pretty Boy angel who was always hanging out with that bad influence Uriel.

I remeber the day i met another good friend in Heaven. Me and Anna were walking around the Garden talking about Humans when we met him. 'Gabriel do you think we're the only angel in Heaven who don't hate humans' she asked. Before I could answer he came out of some of the bushes and said 'Don't count on it'. 'What do you mean?' Anna asked. 'I mean very few genuinely hate humans, most just don't understand and are to afraid to actual learn anything about them' he said

'Who are you' I asked. 'Name's Joshua' he said. 'Never heard of you' i said. 'Most people haven't, i keep to myself and rarely leave this garden and the one that have heard don't consider me important enough talk to' he said.

'What do think of Humans' Anna asked. 'God made them so they most be important' he said 'They may be strange but I can't help but like them'.

From that day on Anna and Me were frequent visiter to Joshua's Garden. Archangels are suppose to be all knowing and yet Joshua had a wisdom that no other Angel had, maybe God made him that way or maybe he just had a lot of time to think while he gardened. If i met him now their is about a thousand nickname i could give him from Dumbledore to Yoda.

Over time I grew more bored and restless in Heaven. I went for a walk a found myself in Joshua's Garden. 'What brings you her today' he asked. 'I need some advise, If someone does feel like their in the right place what should the do' I asked. 'You know when a flowers not getting enough light in a certain spot i take it out of the ground and move it to a spot where it can get enough light, that answer your question' he said sounding like Mister Miyagi.

It did answer my question and I knew what I had to do, but first i had to say goodbye. I went to Michael first. 'Hey Michael can I talk to you for a minute' I said. 'Make it quick i'm very busy' he said.

'Listen Michael, God gone and I don't he's ever coming back, and I think you need to stop wait faithfully for him to return like a dog and start thinking for yourself and being a real leader' I said. Michael was speechless, odd are he didn't know what to think without Dad their to tell him.

I left his room but before i was gone he said 'You should get a good seat Gabriel in a while we're sending a flood to drown all the people in the Black Valley. I knew the first thing i had to do when i got to Earth was warn them.

I went to Anna next. 'Anna there's something I want to tell you' i said. 'What is it Gabriel' she said. 'Before I tell you I what you to think long and hard before acting on it ok and don't tell anyone I told you this' I said. She agreed. 'If you want to become human you have to tear out your grace out throw it to earth' I said. 'What?'she said. 'If you want to become human you have to fall from Grace' I said.

After her i said goodbye to Joshua and was prepared to leave when I saw Castiel. I went over to him and said 'I have something to tell you'. 'What is it Archangel Gabriel' he said. God he was such a tool. 'Don't be an Idiot your whole life' I said and walked away leaving behind a confused Castiel.

As I was about who shows up but Zachariah, he is a leech always sucking up to me and especial kissing Michael's ass. In fact in his life he's done so much ass kissing that his breath probably smells like shit. Before he could even get a single compliment in i stuck my middle finger up at him.

The look on his face was unimaginable. He could turn every shaid of red anger and the veins on his temples began to bulge but before he could even started yelling and screaming he realised he was in the presence of an Archangel. So instead he forced the fakest smile on his face and said 'Thank you Sir' his voice shaling with rage and walked away.

I could stop laughing the memory was forever burned into my mind and then I realised I was laughing, I had never laughed before and it was one of the greatest moments of my life.
