[Metal and glass clink in the background, heavy breathing and the sound of feet shuffling fill the speakers. Whoever's there isn't standing in one spot.]

.. Which one of you zapped me here. [The voice is hushed, female, touched with annoyance draining itself of what might have been adrenaline.] I'm sorry Dean.. But I can't use this just yet.

[SHITFUCK. At least Lucifer didn't go straight to her. Hiiii, Anna. How do you like your long-missing older brother zapping himself right to you. And looking very calm about it. He is not.]

Boy, it's like it's raining angels these days, huh?

[dsfnsjg Hello. There's no mojo in her so scare tactics do sort of work, but it's not like she has Yellow Fever. She does however, have the decency to look surprised.]

Gabriel?

Or his better looking twin. [Kanye shrug] Long time, no see, little sister.

[OFFLINE]

[gotbackupagain]

Is this your doing? [Technically possible, right? There's no way she could have gotten out of there on her own. Not without-- And that hadn't happened.]

[OFFLINE]

[checkoutpandora]

Anna, if this were my doing, there'd be a little more color. It's a trap- and not the fun-if-it's-someone-else kind.

[OFFLINE]

[gotbackupagain]

.. Oh.

[Sometimes it's nice to fancy that one of your siblings might have it out to keep you safe for a while. Sometimes it's sort of a stupid thought.]

These.. Animus. Are powerful enough for something like this? [To trap an Archangel? Seriously?]

[OFFLINE]

[checkoutpandora]

That's the million dollar question. Lucifer sure as hell doesn't think they are. He's here 'cause he "wants to be." But, uh, since he isn't pointing anyone to the door, I'm gonna go with, "Yes, we're all totally boned for $300."

[OFFLINE]

[gotbackupagain]

[Oh good. Strong enough to trap two Archangels. Definitely screwed. Oh. Wait.]

.. Lucifer is here? [A beat.] What time are you from?

[OFFLINE]

[checkoutpandora]

Mid-apocalypse. You?

[OFFLINE]

[gotbackupagain]

Two days out of the crazy house with Heaven and Hell on my tail. ..Literally.

[She fidgets, still used to human movement.] Lucifer was still down under.

[OFFLINE]

[checkoutpandora]

He didn't stay that way. [And meanwhile the last he'd heard of Anna, she was getting her goose cooked by Michael. This is a better alternative.]

[OFFLINE]

[gotbackupagain]

I didn't think he would. [She frowns, arms tucking across her chest.]

Not that I'm all for looking out for myself, but. If Lucifer is here, then I may have a problem. [Because at this point, she doesn't know about the whole... Lack of staying dead, here.]

I'm still human. [And stuck that way. Containment and lack of vessels kind of.. suck.]

Name me one person besides the hopeless cases that didn't. [He scoffs. Lucifer rising was practically written in the same pink gel pen as "And Sam and Dean Winchester end the world. Cynical moment done, he ducks his head.]

Kinda noticed. ...You have it on you? [Stupid question. Of course she does. If he were an idiot, he could mistake it for being inside her with how close it is.]

[Swinging her arms up, she tugs the chain and vial out of her shirt to hold it up.]

Uriel had it. Grabbed it from him and-- Well, ended up here.

[OFFLINE]

[checkoutpandora]

Uriel always did have the creepiest taste in bling. [Gabriel frowns at the vial. He remembers how they fixed this before, but, uh... That wasn't in Bizarro World.] I still owe you one, y'know. Not that I really wanna play Russian Roulette with vessel restoration and Grace, but.... Well. That option's on the table.

[Tucking it back away now thanx.]

I won't call it in just yet. If I can.. Wait. Then I'd rather wait.
