A/N: Spoilers through Season 5 and hints of season 6, AU after that.

Disclaimer: I do not own Supernatural or any of its characters. Nor do I own anything from NCIS. I am just borrowing them for a little bit.

Tony was too shocked at the arrival of Gabriel and their subsequent departure to say much for quite awhile, which was just fine with Gabriel, the man reminded him two much of the muttonheads as far as he was concerned. Besides, he was more than content to play Ringmaster at the circus while everyone else enjoyed themselves. He even donned the red tail coat and black top hat and brandished a whip for effect. He should've realized the potential of this costume years ago. He was going to have a lot of fun with this get up today and tonight too, if he was lucky.

Speaking of which, Annie seemed to be feeling good today, at least for now. She was talking to that Lila woman, and they were both laughing about something. Lila seemed to be handling the whole surprise introduction to the supernatural world a lot better than DiNozzo. Dean and Sam had taken charge of the agent, trying to explain things to him as best as they could. But the man was clearly still in shock. He hung back from most of the activities, not sure if anything was real. That was all right with Sam, as it gave him an excuse to stay as far away from the clowns as possible.

As soon as the group from NICS arrived, Abigail had squealed with delight and ran over to Nicky, greeting him with a hug. The two had been inseparable since, running from side show to side show around the circus, exploring all of the different things Gabriel had thrown together for this day. Abby Sciuto was right behind them. The forensics specialist was like a kid in her own right, enjoying the joy of the circus. When Dean wasn't with his brother and Tony, he had decided to spend more time with the Goth, since the case was officially over. Maybe now he could get to know her better. But that just gave Gibbs an excuse to glare at him when he did.

Gibbs and Ducky spent their time with Bobby. The three of them sat around drinking, trading stories and laughing. For the younger adults there, it was a side of both Gibbs and Bobby they weren't used to seeing, but they were glad they got to share in the moment.

Castiel showed up later than the others, but unfortunately he appeared next to Sam, Dean and Tony, which gave the agent reason to be startled again.

"Another angel?" Tony asked. "How many of you guys are there?"

"I have several hundreds of thousands of brothers, most likely more than your mind can comprehend," Castiel responded.

Tony stared at him, mouth slightly agape.

"Yeah, but most of them are just a bunch of dicks," Dean supplied. "Cas and Gabriel are about the only decent ones in the whole bunch.

"You mean these two are the good ones?" Tony fussed as he thought about how annoying he found Gabriel. "I would hate to meet any of the others."

"Yeah, you really would," Sam agreed. "And that doesn't even take into account the ones who defected to the other side."

"Other side?" Tony pried. "You mean demons? Those are real, too?" This lead to a whole other discussion about demons, monsters and what exactly Sam and Dean did with their time. Tony DiNozzo didn't think he would ever look at his own job or his life the same way again. And he was going to invest in a whole lot of salt. That Costco membership that Lila had talked him to didn't look like such a bad thing anymore.

Soon it was time for presents and cake. In keeping with the circus theme, the cake was in the shape and décor of a Big Top, and took up the size of a whole table.

"Um, the size of the cake…" Lila stammered. "Isn't it kind of big? There are barely a dozen people here."

"Big?" Annie laughed. "Gabriel was worried it wasn't big enough. With the size of his appetite and sweet tooth, he could put that whole thing away himself."

When it came to presents, Annie had told the NCIS team that there was no need to bring Abigail any, as Gabriel regularly saw to it that the child got anything she wanted, and with the recent advent of her powers, Abigail was also seemed to be able bring herself what she desired as well. However, that didn't stop Abby Sciuto from painting a temporary tattoo of Tinker Bell on the child's arm as her gift to the five year old. And the others from the team brought a collection of NCIS paraphernalia and declared her an honorary member of the team. This collection included an NCIS ball cap identical to Nicky's which the two of them proudly wore together.

Bobby brought Abigail several books to add to her growing collection and Dean of course had purchased her the little pink guitar, and was already trying to teach her how to play Smoke On The Water, but she was too distracted by everything else that was going on. Gabriel had wanted to get Abigail her own pony for her birthday, but Annie had put her foot down, insisting she didn't need one more thing to take care of right now, especially with twin boys on the way. So they settled for getting Abigail her own lap top computer and had Sam set it up with everything she needed as his present to the little girl. Both Abigail and Nicky were thrilled about this as well, because it was just one more way they could keep in touch with each other.

But it was Castiel's present that surprised everyone the most. Now that Abigail had angelic powers, he offered to take her on a trip. To Heaven. To meet her Granddad.

"You can do that?" Annie asked, flabbergasted. "And she will come back? No harm? No foul?"

"I assure you," Cas promised. "She very much belongs here on Earth. But our Father would like to see her face to face, and I will swear to you that no harm will come to her, if you allow her to go."

Annie looked at Gabriel. He had gotten over his anger at his Dad once he realized that the answer to the virus had been in the works long before he had ever asked for help. "If it makes you feel better, Annie, I will go with them," he offered. "Of course, that is assuming the munchkin even wants to go."

"Of course I wanna go, Daddy," Abigail piped up. "He talks to me all the time in my dreams. Why wouldn't I want to meet Him?"

A/N: So when I first cracked open the part of my brain that writes fiction a couple of months ago after such a long hiatus and started posting here, I never really expected anyone to read much of what I posted. In fact, I wasn't even expecting the ideas to keep coming for very long. So let's just say that I have been blown away by the fact that my brain is still coming up with ideas and that I have had way more people read and respond to my little fics than I ever expected. I have been humbled, honored and encouraged way more than you will ever know by all of you who have read, reviewed and/or added me to your favorites/story alerts. Like I said, it was something I never believed would actually happen. Thank you so very much!

I said at the end of the last chapter that I would explain why we are seeing some new faces this late in the game, specifically the ones from Kit-cat99's NCIS story This Job of Mine, including Lila, Nicole and Nicky, who are all wonderful creations from Kit. The last couple chapters of this story, as well as her last chapter of that story laid the ground work for a story we are doing together, which will be named While You Were Sleeping, and will be an SPN and NCIS crossover with all the fun, horror and imagination of both stories under a new account name, KitMo.

I hope you've enjoyed this story and hopefully you check out Kit-cat99's as well as our combined work. The first chapter has already been posted, if you would like to check it out and see what kind of trouble Abigail, Nicky and the twins find for themselves in the future.
