Michael looks round at the scene in front of him. Cas is on the ground, Jack is hurt and Caleb is dead. Raphael didn't care. The younger archangel enjoyed watching everyone suffer it made him feel more powerful than ever. Michael is still baffled on how his brother survived but now was not the time to question it. The older archangel has been dreading this moment. He didn't want to face Raphael not after how their last conversation went down.

Michael had no choice but to face Raphael head on. He straightened up making himself look threatening.

"Brother." Michael said his voice calm. "Been a while."

Raphael went up to his brother within a few strides. He stops inches away from his brother's face. His face softens.

"Michael." He places his hand on the older archangel's shoulder. He smiles. His eyes lit up with happiness. "It's so good to see you."

What?

Michael frowns. Is Raphael being nice? No something is wrong? Something is very wrong.

"I was so worried." Raphael became concerned. "I thought they were holding you as prisoner. When I realized they didn't know who you were." He looks at the crowd. "I was worried the truth will come out and you will be harmed. Dear brother that's why I had to say you were alive that way I can bring you home."

Michael moves away from his brother. His face hardens.

"What you playing at Raphael?"

"Nothing. I just want my big brother back safe and sound. Is that too much to ask?"

"I would have believed you." Michael glared. "Last time we spoke you tried to kill me."

"You tried to kill me." Raphael raises his hands in surrender. "I want to move past that now. Start fresh, be a family again. Isn't that what you want?" The older archangel grits his teeth. Raphael folds his arms. "Brother come back with me."

That sounded more like a demand than a request. Michael looks at his brother's worried face. Michael felt the desperation coming off his brother in waves. Raphael only cared about himself. When Michael was going down a dark path Raphael saw it as an opportunity to get the throne. He chose power over his brother. There is no reason for Raphael to be worried about Michael's well-being now. It is obvious the younger archangel wanted something.

Michael laughed to himself. His little brother is underestimating him.

Two can play at that game.

"You're right brother. I do want to be a family again." Michael smiles. "I want to move on. We already lost so much. I'm glad to see you alive and...well." He said the last part in a dramatic tone. The forced smile remains on his face. " We have so much to catch up on. "

"Indeed." Raphael agreed.

The younger archangel noticed his brother's change of tone halfway through his speech. He knew he would have to explain how he faked his death. Raphael wasn't worried. He has waited to share his secret for a long time. He was actually looking forward to the conversation.

"First." Raphael tilts his head towards the hunters. "What shall we do with the mortals?"

"We could kill them." Michael taps his chin and looks round. "These mud monkeys, they clearly have no idea who is in charge. I think we need to remind them and put them in their place."

"That's the Michael I love." Raphael grinned.

"I say we bring them back with us, lock them up, torture them, make them suffer. Keep doing it until they submit to us."

"Yes! Yes!."

Raphael is beaming with excitement.

"Sam Winchester, Castiel and the abomination Jack." Jack flinched as Michael's cold eyes go on him. "I think we should give them the VIP treatment. They took everything away from me. They ruined my plans. They are only keeping me alive because of Dean. Once they cast me out and I find another vessel they will kill me. I CAN'T HAVE THAT!"

" Michael. We don't plan on killing you. "

"Oh shut up Castiel. " Michael glared at him.

Cas frowns.

"Brother."

"Don't." He raises his finger. "Don't call me that."

Cas looked confused.

"I thought you were on our side." Sam says.

"Please." Michael laughed. "You humans are dumber than you look. You really think I the Archangel Michael would side with you. I was waiting for the perfect time to get my revenge."

He goes up to Sam's face.

"Michael." Sam stumbles back. "You are better than this. I know you..."

Michael's fist met Sam's jaw. Sam's head snaps back. He falls on his ass.

Sam looks up. Michael is towering over him. His face is murderous.

"Dean belongs to me." Michael sneered. "You are never getting him back...NEVER!"

Michael hits Sam causing the hunter to fall back down. Michael kicks the younger Winchester in the stomach. Cas charges at his alternative brother. Raphael grabs Cas and slams him down on to the ground.

"MICHAEL!"

Jack clenched his fists and stares daggers at the archangel.

"What are you going to do?" Michael laughed. "I'm a warrior. Heaven's Commander. You are nothing but a child. You are no match against me." He looks at his smirking brother then looks back at his alternative nephew. "Stand down kid. That way no one else has to get hurt..." His lips form into a smirk. "...for now."

Raphael chuckles he is clearly enjoying the drama.

Suddenly Jack's eyes glow gold. Michael's smile fades. The former nephilim roars and he raises his hand. Gold light shoots out and hits Michael square in the chest. Michael flies back and crashes into a tent. The tent collapses under Michael's weight. Everyone gasps at the fallen archangel.

Raphael's eyes widen in shock. He points at Jack.

"SEIZE HIM!" He screamed.

The angels grab Jack by the arms. One angel places a collar over Jack's neck. He pulls at the chain causing Jack to wince. The other angel kicks Jack in the back. The former nephilim falls down on his knees. He screams as he sees his family and friends being taken down by the angels.

Raphael ordered everyone to hurry up. He anxiously goes over to his brother who was lying on the ground.

"Brother!"

Raphael grabs his brother by the shoulders and shakes him hard. Michael opens his eyes and sits up. His wide eyes meet Raphael's.

"Raphael..."

"We got to go now!"

Raphael pulls his brother to his feet.

"The boy...the boy!" Michael stuttered.

"I got him."

He points at the kid. Michael looks and sees Jack on his knees. Jack's eyes have returned to normal. The kid is shaking with anger and worry.

"Something is wrong." Michael muttered.

"You had your fun here brother now let's go!" Raphael snapped at him.

The younger archangel turns away and joins his fellow angels.

Michael continued staring at the former nephilim. With his angelic insight he was able to see Jack's soul.

Michael's eyes widen as he saw the former nephilim's soul begin to burn away.


Well that scene took a dramatic turn :D Apologizes for the short chapter. We are reaching the halfway point of the story now. So far I haven't been really happy with this story. I know it's not as good as the first one. I have really been struggling with this story. I'm hoping things might pick up. There is going to be a few twists on the way.

Next chapter coming soon.
