You had begun to worry as you sat alone in the motel room waiting for the boys to return from the hunting trip they were on but it wasn't just them they'd also taken Gabriel with them. You were concerned about the archangel slash trickster for one reason, he was your boyfriend had been for a few months now and as much as the boys groused about the two of you being together you knew they just wanted you to be happy. Gabriel had insisted on helping the boys with this hunt but he was late coming back, which was unusual to say the least as Gabriel always came back to you before the boys arrived home. You heard the roar of the Impala's motor outside something that did not help your feelings of anxiety so when the boys came inside you pounced on them asking about a million questions all at once.

"Whoa! Easy, Y/N...Gabriel is off running some information gathering for us so he won't be back for a few hours" Dean explained holding his hands up to hold you at bay.

"Don't worry he's fine" Sam interjected seeing the scared look on your features

"Well I guess so..." You trailed off with a pout cause it wasn't like Gabriel to go off with out saying farewell but you guessed if it was only going to be a few hours it couldn't hurt.

You helped the boys pick up dinner then went to bed not really feeling hungry from the constant worry you had tangling your gut into a knot. You tried to get some rest but your head would not turn off causing you to toss then turn however eventually you managed to get some sleep until that is a loud crash caused you to sit bolt upright. The boys had fallen asleep on the couch after dinner so the noise also startled the two of them into consciousness both grabbing at whatever weapon was nearby while you grabbed the knife under your pillow at the same time as you turned on the bedside light. You squinted in the dim light that the lamp gave off only to realize that the window of the motel room had been broken but what caught your attention was the heap of feathers on the floor along with the figure beneath it. Your blood ran cold as you watched the one feathered appendage flop to the side revealing the figure to be Gabriel, his eyes were shut, his skin was pale and there was a trickle of blood coming out the corner of his mouth. You weren't too sure what happened next all you remember was suddenly being beside Gabriel desperately shouting his name as you cradled his head in your arms followed by the boys yanking you off of him so they could get a closer look.

"Son of a bitch! Sam I can't hold her forever!" Dean barked at his brother as you thrashed in his arms

"Y/N! Y/N! Listen to me! You have to calm down..." Sam explained in a calming manner as he cupped your tear stained face in his hands.

"But...Gabriel..." You trailed off looking over at his unconscious body still on the floor surrounded by glass.

"We'll take care of him just let us do it" Sam insisted letting you go

You gave a weak nod of understanding as Dean slowly let you go then ran around to help Sam as they began to assess Gabriel's injuries. Sam determined that Gabriel had multiple internal injuries that they wouldn't be able to treat here then there were his wings they were a mess with glass pieces sticking from them as well as clear breaks in the bone both beneath the skin and sticking from it.

"We can't treat him here but I don't think taking him to a human hospital would be the best idea" Sam stated

"Gee ya think Sammy, I don't think the hospital is trained in wing repair...hey! What about Dr. Robert?" Dean suggested

"The Doctor who fixed up our dad and works out of a butcher shop?" Sam arched an eyebrow then realized they really had no choice.

"Okay, Y/N...help me pack up the impala" Dean instructed

You swiftly listened helping him practically toss everything in the trunk while Sam worked on getting Gabriel stabilized then out to the impala. You sat in the front with Dean while Sam stayed in the back to keep Gabe stable until you all reached doctor Roberts facility luckily arriving after dark so that no one would question why there was a guy with wings going into a butcher shop that looked like he'd been in Fight Club the movie. You banged on the door while Gabriel was draped over both boys shoulders with his bloodied wings dragging on the ground behind him when suddenly a young woman with straight brown hair answered the door looking none too pleased that they were knocking this late at night.

"What do you want?" The young woman asked in a stern manner

"Eva, is the Doc in?" Dean asked in a swift manner

"Yeah, but we're just about to...hey!" Eva barked as Dean suddenly shoved past her with Sam, heading straight for the stairs. Dean was careful not to jar Gabriel too much as he and Sam carried the unconscious archangel up the narrow staircase to the small room that doctor Robert called his treatment area. Doctor Robert was completely taken off guard when the boys pushed their way through the door with Gabriel still draped over their arms with you trailing behind.

"What is going on...Dean? Is that you?" Doctor Robert asked as a slight smile crossed his face

"Yeah, look sorry to barge in so late but we desperately need your help" Dean apologized while tipping his head towards Gabriel.

"Oh my, well bring him in I suppose...lay him on the table" Doctor Robert instructed patting the tables top with his hand. Sam and Dean gently maneuvered Gabriel until they could carefully lay him on his side on the table allowing his huge wings to flop over the side where they flowed along the floor slightly. Quickly doctor Robert hustled the boys as well as you out of the room then gestured for Eva who had come up behind you to come in to assist him in treating Gabriel before slamming the door shut. You felt the drywall press against your back as you slowly sunk to the floor covering your face with your hands as you started to sob hysterically into them then you felt Dean's hand on your shoulder causing you to look up. Dean was standing beside you with a sympathetic grin on his face while Sam had sat down next to you on the floor and was now pulling you gently into a hug that you happily returned burying your face into his shoulder as your hand balled into a fist in his shirt. Eventually your tears mellowed enough that you were able to fall asleep on Sam until a small ray of sunshine managed to seep in through the one window in the hallway, shining on your face making you shift with an annoyed moan.

"Morning" Sam's gentle voice said

"Morning...any word on Gabriel?" You asked suddenly remembering last night

"No, sorry" Sam stated looking down at you with a look that said he was truly sorry

"Oh, I see" You whispered sadly before sitting up to stretch

Just as you finished stretching however Doctor Robert opened the door to the treatment room then stepped into the hallway before shutting it again. You leapt to your feet as Sam did the same only to stop when you saw the blood covering the doctor's coat as well as his hands; he even had some on his face that he was wiping off with a towel.

"How is he?" You heard Sam ask snapping you out of your daze

"Not well boys, I had to do massive surgery to repair the internal damage he suffered followed by reconstructive surgery of his wings, which by the way I had no idea of where to even start with!" Doc Robert explained

"But he's okay...right?" You asked hesitantly unsure if you wanted to know the answer

"He's stable if that's what you mean however he will need extensive time to recover" Doctor Robert continued looking softly at you.

"Can I see him?" You wondered

"If you wish just try to remain calm as seeing him in such a state may be shocking to you" Doctor Robert warned then opened the door to allow you inside. You ran through the door only to stop dead in your tracks at the sight that lay before you, Gabriel was still lying on his side but now had various machines, wires as well as tubes hooked up to him, bandages littered his body some had blood on them from still open wounds, however his wings were the worst. You put a hand over your mouth to suppress the urge to throw up, they had used a gurney to support Gabriel's wings that way they could lay them out flat and now they had some sort of metal apparatus on them that was clearly keeping the bones together while they healed however the skin was still open from the procedure revealing almost all the bone all along several of Gabriel's wings. You felt Sam place a hand gently on your shoulder so you turned away from the sight to hide in his chest, you couldn't stand seeing Gabriel like this no matter how much he would need your support for now it was too much. Sam decided to take you out for a coffee to settle your nerves then when you got back you remained in the hallway unable to face that horrific sight again soon two days had passed then a week but you felt bad for not being by Gabriel's side.

"Come on, Y/N! You can do it, you love him!" You thought to yourself then with a deep breath you managed to go inside the room. Everything was the same as before but this time all you could really see was Gabriel so you walked over beside him to take his hand in yours gently stroking your thumb over the back of it. Your eyes traveled the length of Gabriel's battered body taking in every wound that you now know was inflicted by an angel blade according to Sam and Dean that is when suddenly he began to stir.

"Gabe? Hun?" You whispered not sure if him coming too was such a good thing at the moment

"Oh crap!" Eva whispered then took off outside while you stayed with Gabriel feeling his grip tighten around your hand by the second. Gabriel started squirming slightly before crying out in pain so you gently grabbed his shoulder to hold him as still as possible.

"Gabe, don't move love...stay still" You encouraged him

"AH! Y/N...Gah!" Gabriel rasped out through gritted teeth

"Sshh it's okay, I'm right here..." You trailed off just as Eva came running back in with doctor Robert

"Holy cow! Eva, quickly get the sedative!" He instructed swiftly upon seeing Gabriel practically awake

You watched as Eva raced around behind you grabbing a syringe then a small bottle filled with a clear liquid. You cupped Gabriel's cheek as his body began to shake from pain not to mention probable shock of waking up in such a state but once Eva gave him the sedative Gabe's body began to relax as he slowly slipped back into unconsciousness but he seemed to be fighting it.

"Y...N...I..." Gabriel trailed off

"Sshh...Love, just rest" You encouraged running your thumb over his cheek as he passed back out

"Whew, Eva make sure to keep that dose up every few hours cause apparently this angel thing could be a problem" Doctor Robert stated with a heavy sigh

(~)

Two weeks passed before Doc Robert could even consider closing the wounds on Gabriel's wings but once it was done Gabe was finally able to be roused from his drug induced coma. You waited next to him the whole time anxious to have him awake for the first time in weeks even if it did take hours but finally he did come too.

"Hmm, Y/N?" Gabriel moaned as his eyes fluttered open

"Yes, I'm here Gabriel," You smiled wider then you had ever in your whole life

"Where...what...ugh!" Gabriel groaned as he spasmed

"Easy, don't try to move...your in Doctor Robert's treatment room, you were attacked by other angels" You weren't sure if the last part was true but it was a pretty good bet considering the injuries were from an angel blade.

"I...remember..." Gabe rasped out

"Well just stay still and try to relax, your wounds have begun to mend but their still not the best" You informed him While gently carding your fingers through his hair.

"Guess I got off...lucky then" Gabe winced with a slightly strained chuckle

You smiled back at him tangling the fingers of one hand with one of his as the archangel slowly relaxed, staring into your eyes.

Months passed before Gabriel was finally able to get back up on his feet but another 3 months before he could even begin to think about flying. You stayed with him all the while helping him work the muscles in his wings to make it so as he'd be able to fly again and the boys in the meanwhile hunted down the angel's that had attacked Gabriel thoroughly taking care of them forever.
