This is the prologue to this fic.

It's short I know, but I hope you enjoy it. More shall hopefully come soon.

This is dedicated to Rach. She knows why.

Chapter One – The demonic elephant in the room.

Gabriel wasn't used to being told what to do ...well, of course he wasn't. He hadn't been ordered... forced whatever you preferred to call it, to do anything since he'd abandoned his family, the angels, his family... He didn't like having decisions made for him, instead of by him. He loathed it. Also, the fact that he had to tell a woman that his father had bestowed on her a child without even touching her had also factored into his feelings. He never wanted to do that again. He favoured being in control of himself and not a pawn in a larger game.

Today, that was going to change, and not the way that anyone would have ever suspected.

That change came in the form of a petite blonde on his doorstep. "So I heard you're the Angel Gabriel." Gabe glared at the leather clad blonde woman, both suspicious and curious. "I also heard your brother likes hanging out with some old friends of mine... the Winchester brothers." She snickered after she said that, laughing at an unknown joke.

He knitted his brow in worry before allowing her inside, she was starting to attract attention, and that was something he did not want. "Speak." He said as he drew himself to his full height, trying desperately to look impressive. He wasn't sure why he was doing that. After all, she was only an annoying minor demon; he could get rid of her in an instant if he wanted to. He wanted to hear what she had to say. Then she began to speak. Boy, he didn't expect it. He swallowed dryly after she had stated her case. "Why are you telling me this, I should kill you here and now."

The woman laughed bitterly as she drew herself to her full height and blinked, her eyes black as obsidian. "Lives are at risk. Something fucked up is going on over there and I have no clue what it is. " She stopped as she tried to form the sour words that she had to say. " I'm asking for help because I don't know what else to do."

"What did you just say to me demon?" She rolled her eyes as he just stared at her for a few moments. "Are you just going to stand there gawking or are we going to go get those damn Yankee hunters?" Gabriel smirked gleefully as he finally processed what she had told him and what that would entail. "Let me get this straight. You, Ruby, a fully-fledged demon, is asking me, an archangel of the lord for help? Count me in."

They arrived at a worn old motel in South California. Gabriel told her that the boys had been hunting something that had been taking the children at night. It was always the children. Gabe just glared at her before, grinning, teleporting them inside the intended motel room. They were immediately greeted with guns.
