Lucifer nodded at Crowley after hearing this. Crowley opened the cage letting the oldest archangel out. Everyone was on edge with him free. Michael stretched himself and his wings. "Dad's in Ohio," he said. "That's all I know. I can't tell you an exact pinpoint."

Gabriel nodded and walked over to the Winchesters and Castiel. Lucifer followed immediately, he didn't want to be near Michael. That's never a fun experience. Not anymore.

"Should we go now?" Gabriel asked not wanting to stay near the cage.

"Yeah," Lucifer left immediately, appearing in the living room. He didn't like this. He could remember what Michael did to him, every damn second. And he couldn't just pretend like it didn't happen. Gabriel brought everyone else into the bunker. 

Lucifer practically ran to his room. He got in his room and locked the door. He sat down on the bed and tried to calm the panic attack that was coming on. He didn't like this. He didn't want to fight anymore. He wanted to stay in this room until Michael was gone.

Gabriel teleported a platypus into Lucifer's room knowing he'd be freaking out. Lucifer saw the platypus and chuckled, petting the small animal in his lap. Lucifer could remember Michael's evil laugh, how he dug angel blades into his skin, how he tore at his once great wings. But worse than that, he could remember how Michael used to be his best friend. How he raised him with love and care. How he held him when he had been scared. How they would play pretend when they were small.

How could Michael change like that?

(guys my friend @sassycassy67 has a version of this story with an adorable Sabriel scene here, go check them out!)

The next day Lucifer heard loud shouting from downstairs. It was obviously Gabriel shouting. "MICHAEL SHUT YOUR ASS UP! I WILL SCORCH YOUR ASS! IF YOU WOULD KINDLY FUCK OFF THAT WOULD BE NICE!" after a small silence, Lucifer heard more shouting. "GO BEFORE I BEAT YOUR ASS BACK INTO THE CAGE!!" Footsteps sprinted down the hall and Lucifer started laughing. He could just imagine Gabriel yelling at their taller and stronger brother. It was just hilarious!

~~~~

Lucifer playing with the oddest animal ever when he heard the knock. "Who is it?" he asked, trying to make sure he didn't sound nervous. He failed a little. He felt so uncomfortable with Michael in the bunker.

"It's me Luci Loo," Gabriel said, talking to Lucifer through the door. Lucifer sighed in relief.

"Come in, Gabe," he said, turning around. The platypus jumped to the floor and scurried to the door. It was still quite small, so this was adorable. Gabriel opened the door and smiled at the platypus as he closed the door behind him.

"Thought you could use some company besides Perry," Gabriel said, sitting next to Lucifer. Lucifer nodded a bit.

"I want this to be over with," he said softly, crossing his legs Indian style under him as he looked over at Gabriel. "How's everyone doing? I heard you shouting at Michael. Best thing I've heard in a millennia."

"Everyone seems to be a little tense every time Michael enters the room. But I'm not surprised. Dean likes to make a game of avoiding him at all costs and I just try to stay calm," Gabriel said, looking at his hands.

Lucifer chuckled. "You're doing better than me. I almost had a panic attack four times because I thought he was in my room. It was the damn closet door moving because of the AC," Lucifer said.

Gabriel frowns thinking of what Michael had said as his eyes start watering a little bit. "I just want him gone."

Lucifer pulled his little brother under his arm, his chest aching. Michael hurt them all. "Me too, little brother. Me too," he soothed softly. Michael had destroyed them emotionally, and even hurt them physically, some worse than others. But Lucifer couldn't keep himself from loving his big brother. It was his brother, how could he not? On the other hand Gabriel was never fond of him, especially when he found him bullying Balthazar as to where he had to step in before Michael broke one of his wings. After that Gabriel never came to Michael's aid for anything, cause in return for stopping Michael, Gabriel got two broken wings. Which after he threatened him so he wouldn't tell dad or Lucifer.

"I want him back in the cage," Gabriel said, letting the tears spill from his eyes.

Lucifer refused to let any emotions show on his face. Unlike Gabriel, Michael had raised Lucifer with love and kindness. He was his dad more than his real dad was. "I want the old Michael back," Lucifer said softly, swallowing roughly to hold all those emotions back.

Gabriel sighed. "I don't want him back at all!" he was tempted to tell Lucifer what happened but he was crying to hard to say anything.

Lucifer covered his mouth with his hand and rubbed his scruff to distract himself. Everything he's been holding back wanted to flow out. How much he missed his family, how much it hurt him when his own big brother tortured him in the cage, how much he wanted the old Michael back. He was crying a little too, now. "I wish I couldn't feel a damn thing, Gabe," Lucifer whimpered. He had no soulmate, there was no reason for him to feel emotions.

Gabriel cried harder thinking of what happened to him everytime he and Lucifer got into a fight and what he'd do to Gabriel after he wasn't lying when he said those scars were from heaven. Lucifer had to calm down, he couldn't just cry himself sick, he had to comfort his baby brother. He choked back his emotions and gently rubbed Gabriel's arm. "Shh, it's okay. It's okay, I'm right here. No one can hurt you, shhh," he coughed softly as he held back the tears. Gabriel only cried harder and started to hyperventilate. Lucifer instantly searched Gabriel's mind for a happy memory but was bombarded with the memory of Michael breaking his wings. This pissed him off and he got a new reason to go get into a fist fight with Michael. He hurt Gabriel. Soon enough he found a happy memory of Lucifer, Gabriel, and Raphael all watching a movie and cuddling on a couch. It was a happy scene. "Shh, remember this little one?" He asked, bringing the memory forward.

Gabriel smiles weakly thinking of that. "Yeah, cause you threw popcorn at me," Gabriel said, smiling more.

Lucifer smiled a little at seeing Gabriel smile. "Yeah, I did. And it got all tangled in your hair," he smiled as he held his little brother. He didn't like to see Gabriel all hurt and upset.

"Yeah, and I had to go to Dad cause I couldn't get it out," Gabriel laughed lightly, remembering how embarrassed he was.

Lucifer smiled slightly and nodded. "Yeah, and I laughed my ass off the whole time. We even got Raphael to laugh with that one," he beamed. These are the moments he cherished with Gabriel.

"Don't forget when I made the platypus and I got it on earth," Gabriel smiled, remembering that Raphael told him where to put it.

Lucifer laughed softly and nodded. "How could I? Come here, Perry!" he called. The platypus got on the bed and into his lap. "The platypus was our greatest invention," Lucifer smiled.

"And the snake! I remember you making those! I called them boop noodles and you then yelled at me," Gabriel laughed more.

Lucifer laughed as well. "My boop noodles were so offended!" he grinned and ruffled his hair.

Gabriel laughed more, "Or when Raphael made the sloth!"Gabriel burst laughing when he remembered Raphael's face after he realized what he made.

"Ahhh the slowest animal on earth. That was such an interesting time. Raphael got so mad. He was like "why wont it go faster! Luci make it go faster!". Jeez that was so adorable," Lucifer grinned.

"We should prank him by putting one in his room," Gabriel said, smirking. Lucifer laughed softly.

"Not now little one, he's tired. I can tell, he's been working his butt off. Let him rest, just until this Amara thing is over," Lucifer said, chuckling a little.

"Okay, but when it's time there will be more than one in his room!" Gabriel said with a smile.

Lucifer smiled. "Of course there will be, kiddo. Of course," he smiled, ruffling Gabriel's hair lovingly.

Gabriel smiled. "And if you want I could find a spell so Michael can't come in here," Gabriel suggested.

"Yes, please, Gabe. That would be everything," Lucifer said immediately. "I'd help but he'd kill me the first chance he got, and I'm a little bitch too scared to face him." Lucifer chuckled a little. He was really scared of Michael.

"I'll give you a copy of the spell once I find it," Gabriel said.

Lucifer gently pulled Gabriel close to him. "But not now. Gabriel, stay with me for a little bit," Lucifer smiled softly. Then he leaned back on the bed with his little brother. "Let's just chill for a little while. Watch a movie or something."

Gabriel smiled. "Disney?" he asked, knowing that a Disney movie would cheer him up.

"Disney," Lucifer agreed before kissing his little brother's head and grabbing the remote. He turned on Netflix and started to search for a good movie. "Oh hell yes, Mulan."

"I forgot to tell you something Luci," Gabe said.

Lucifer looked at his little brother and nodded. "Spit it out, kid. What is it?" he asked.

"I'll make a man out of you," he said, smirking.

Lucifer hit his little brother in the chest playfully. "Be quiet. I'm fucking Mushu, a small dragon," Lucifer joked before jokingly poking his brother in the hip to bother him. Gabriel couldn't ever stand to get poked.

"NO POKING ME YOU TINY SATAN!!!" he said. Lucifer cracked up laughing and turned on the movie.

"Now all we need is little Raphy," Lucifer smiled softly.

"His new name is Peggy. I'm Eliza. Your Angelica," Gabriel said, smiling

"Oh no. Hamilton. I'm the sassy feminist huh?" he grinned at his little brother. "Work!" he screamed in a feminine voice

"WORK!!!" Gabe said in sync with Lucifer.

"GAYYYY!" shouted Dean from down the hallway. Lucifer started to laugh. This family was insane.

"SAYS THE ONE FUCKING MY LITTLE BROTHER!!!" Gabriel yelled back and started to laugh his ass off.

"OHHH DEAN THINK OF A COMEBACK FOR THAT!!" Lucifer laughed. "RAPHY COME ON!!"

"I'M BUSY" Raphael yelled from his room.

"NOO! COME SPEND TIME WITH YOUR LOVING FAMILY!!" Lucifer whined. Raphael always worked, it was time for a break. "DONT MAKE ME DRAG YOU IN HERE!!"

"COME IN HERE BEFORE I PUT A SLOTH IN YOUR ROOM!!" Gabriel yelled.

"TRY AND MAKE ME LUCI, AND GABRIEL IF YOU PUT A SLOTH IN MY ROOM I MAKE SAM SEE CLOWNS FOR A WEEK!!" Raphael cried.

"YOU WOULDN'T BITCH!!! MCFIGHT ME, RAPH!!" Gabriel yelled joking at Raph.

Lucifer snapped his fingers and Raphael appeared in his arms. "Gotcha!" Lucifer smiled at his little brother. "And no mcfighting. Just McMulan," he joked.

Gabriel laughed more.

"I guess this is better than what I was doing; and Gabe scoot over," Raphael said.

Gabriel made room for Raphael. Lucifer smiled softly and stood on the bed. He turned out the light and shut the door with his grace before plopping down and turning on the movie. "WOO! FUCK YEAH! A WHOLE QUEEN!" Lucifer cheered. Castiel popped in and scared the hell out of them all before snuggling into Gabriel's side, wanting to be part of this as well.

Gabriel smiled putting an arm over Raphael and Castiel's shoulders.

"Dad its been forever since we all just sat and watched a movie," Raphael said with a soft sigh of content.

Gabriel frowned, "We're missing someone."

Lucifer thought for a moment. "Who?" he asked softly. He felt bad but he couldn't remember.

"We're missing Balthazar," Gabriel said, smiling remembering when he saved him from Michael. He was like Gabriel's son. Castiel gulped.

"What's the matter little one?" Lucifer asked, noticing Castiel's face.

"Balthazar is....dead," Castiel whispered.

Lucifer looked over to Gabe immediately, knowing this would hurt him bad. "Gabe, are you alright?" he asked.

"Y-yeah," Gabriel said, but soon started to break down.

Lucifer gently rubbed Gabriel's arm and whispered sweet nothings like "He's happier now" and "It's all going to be okay". "Shh, its alright little one. He's safe now. He's at peace. No one can hurt him anymore," Lucifer soothed, gently rocking Gabriel. But nothing could soothe the poor angel.

Gabriel soon asked: "How'd he die?"

Cas whispered: "Someone killed him."

Gabriel stood with the look of murder in his eyes. "WHO?!"

"Gabriel, just sit down and relax. I know, I know how you feel kiddo. Just relax," Lucifer soothed, standing up with his brother.

"NO, I WILL NOT RELAX! NOT UNTIL I KNOW THE ASSHOLE WHO KILLED MY SON!!" Gabriel shouted, ready to kill someone.

"Gabriel, sit down!" Lucifer cried. "I know, it hurts but you are not going on a killing spree! Balth wouldn't want this! He wouldn't want you to hurt anyone for him!" Lucifer shouted, grabbing Gabriel's shoulders.

"DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT! I'LL BURN THE EARTH ALL TOGETHER IF I HAVE TO!" Gabriel yelled, pushing Lucifer off as he slams open the door and goes to the room he shares with Sam.

Lucifer was pushed into the wall before he sighed. "He'll kill anyone he thinks hurt Balth. Who was it, Cas?" Lucifer asked. He just noticed Cas was crying from the stress of Gabriel yelling at him so he gently brought him into his arms. "Shh it's okay little one."

"It was me Lucifer," Raphael said very quietly

"What?" Lucifer asked, Castiel slowly calming down as he just clutched Lucifer's shirt. "Raphael you didn't..."

"I didn't mean to, Luci, he just...." Raphael trailed off, looking down with shame.

Lucifer sighed. He could understand where Raphael is coming from. "Hey, Raph, I get it. We need to tell Gabriel. It'll make him feel better. I'll make sure he doesn't get too angry. Cassie, bud? Why don't you go with Dean?" Lucifer cooed to the youngest. Castiel nodded and left the room to be with his boyfriend.

They had no idea the pain Gabriel was going through.
