A Strange Little Thing Called Death (A Gabriel from Supernatural Fanfiction)

Chapter Seventeen

A/N: Two things before I start this chapter. One: a "fluffernutter" sandwich, for those of you who don't know what it is, is a peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich. It's super sweet and extremely messy and gooey. Second thing: Above is the song that Leia sings later in the chapter. Now, onward with the story!

When the boys showed up at the door a few weeks later with two girls in tow, Leia didn't really think much of it. When they asked to use the panic room, however, Leia was slightly suspicious. Bobby was out on a case, so she was left to take care of the house and man the phones. Leia didn't quite feel comfortable around the girl named Ruby, but she didn't mind Anna's presence so much. She led them down to the panic room and started making sandwiches since she figured everybody was probably hungry. She just finished putting together a fluffernutter sandwich for Anna and began walking down with the plate of sandwiches to the panic room.

"How's everybody holdin' up in here? You guys good?" she asked.

"You are a saint." Dean moaned when he saw she had sandwiches. She gave him his roast beef, and handed Sam his turkey and swiss.

"Anna? Ruby? I wasn't certain if you guys were hungry, but I made you guys sandwiches nonetheless." she said, handing Anna the fluffernutter, and offered Ruby(who was standing outside the door) a nutella and peanut butter sandwich.

Anna smiled. "Thank you. We never learned your name. What is it?" she asked.

"Oh, I'm Leia." Leia replied, while Ruby let out a snort.

"That's seriously your name?" she asked.

"Yes, it is. Sorry my parents were more original than yours." Leia snapped.

"Down, girl. Didn't mean any harm by it. Also, you can take your sandwich back. I don't need to eat." said Ruby, holding her hands up in surrender.

"What do you mean?" said Leia cautiously.

Ruby's eyes flickered to a familiar black. Leia's eyes widened, but before she could move, Dean and Sam were in front of her.

"Hold up, we can explain." said Sam. They explained everything they knew about Ruby while Ruby went and did...something. Leia sort of wondered where she went, but didn't have to wonder for long because she came back and stood in the doorway.

"Here." said Ruby, tossing what looked like little bags to Sam and Dean.

"Hex bags?" asked Dean.

"Extra crunchy. They'll hide us from angels, demons, all comers."she replied. She turned to Leia. "Sorry, but I didn't have enough ingredients to make one for you, so you'll just have to deal with whatever comes your way." she shrugged.

Dean handed one of the bags that Ruby tossed at him to Anna. "Don't lose this. So, Anna, what's playing on angel radio? Anything useful?' he asked. Anna shook her head.

"It's quiet. Dead silence." Anna was not about to mention that the only voice she heard was worried for Leia's well-being, because it was threatening things that would not be pleasant to whomever harmed her in any way.

"Good. That's not troubling at all." said Dean sarcastically. Leia jumped and smacked Dean in the back of the head.

"Oww! What was that for?" he asked, rubbing where she hit him.

"You're not helping matters. Poor Anna's probably scared as hell, so she does not need any more stress coming from you!" she hissed.

"We're in trouble, huh? You guys are scared?" asked Anna.

"Nah." replied Dean.

Leia simply smiled sadly. "I'm more scared for you than I am of the situation, sweetheart."
