[Dean already has weapons ready, and he's getting his feet into his boots as he shouts off screen to someone, Sam most likely, to haul ass.]
Lizzie! Liz-- Elizabeth! [He lets out an angry sound and it isn't fair, not when it seems like all the past few days have been is death and destruction. He doesn't know if he should even expect anything else, not from the life he's lived, but it's just getting crazy now. He's done with watching people die. He's going to hunt and he's going to kill every last son of a bitch he can because he's done with this world and people getting hurt and... dammit, first Teddy's accident and now this, after that video from the system.]
[He wants to surprise her. He knows it's stupid, and he doesn't actually know what the jumble of feelings are in his belly, because they don't come with handy little explanations, like Grace does. But yesterday, after that kid, she'd seemed so sad that all she'd done was sobbed, and it was all he could do to hold her. He wants to try and cheer her up, he's got to try, honestly, because without her smile he's sure something in him is going to break
( ... )
[It's some time after that Dean arrives. He's dealt with the very beast that ripped into Elizabeth, and a couple more on the way here, with help from his brother, of course, but he'd told Sam to deal with those bodies while he went for Elizabeth's. It was easier that way, because Dean knew her better than Sam did. It wasn't Sam, after all, whose lap she'd fallen asleep on after they'd drank until they couldn't see straight or think right. It was his. So he owes it to his friend -- and dammit she was a good friend, Queen thing aside -- to get her somewhere better, to maybe bury her body if things didn't change in a week. They could store a body for a week, that'd be no problem
( ... )
[Gabriel doesn't see, or hear Dean, not even after Dean calls out to him. Before he'd be able to feel a Winchester from several hundred miles away- they blared like beacons in comparison to all the other souls around them. Although frankly, they'd seemed a little dull lately...
It's only when Dean comes too close, when Gabriel is there trying to move the still Queen closer to his chest, that the angel turns, snarls. It's a reaction coiling in his gut, mixed with the disbelief and, somewhere he refuses to acknowledge, all the grief and the guilt. But right now, he's angry. Very, very angry]
Don't you touch her, Winchester!
[Dean's not even got a hand out, of course, he's not even anywhere near, but Gabriel's not thinking right. He just wants to stay here. With her. It's cold and the fog swirls around them like a shroud, cloaking most of the damage and the blood. Or maybe that's the tears. No. They have to move. It isn't safe. She needs a doctor. Or a church, the temple, anywhere. If he can shout loud enough. Dad has to listen,
( ... )
[He doesn't so much as flinch. He's been in Gabriel's position, more times than he'd like to think, and while he's sure his love for Sam, and his love for his parents, and his love for Castiel are all different things to what Gabriel feels for Elizabeth, he doesn't doubt for one second that Gabriel isn't suffering through blinding agony. Death when you care about someone is more poisonous to the mind than anything Dean has ever known, and even Hell never hurt in quite the way that seeing a loved one die hurts.
He nods a bit as Gabriel starts to move, getting to his feet and reaching to steady Gabriel, not her body.] You want a hand just say the word. I got the car, we can get her back to the house, where it'll be private and safest.
[There are monsters everywhere and Dean knows that there's not much he can do about that right now but try to get Gabriel and Elizabeth's body back to Bobby's house and maybe get her down into the panic room. There's nowhere else safer in Mandalus, as far as he's concerned.]
[ Desmond halts to a stop, on top of one of the roofs of the Business District. He was on his way back from checking out the place he'll be making his bar. The sound of Elizabeth's voice from the phone makes him stop and pull it out, staring at the screen in front of him. His body tenses and jerks all at once from the shock of it all. His eyes meet hers on the screen as he sees her. She's an ally. Something like a friend, and he's got no idea where she is. No idea where to find her. How to help her-- ]
Elizabeth!
[ He wants to run to find her, he wants to stand shocked. His body stays where it is as he sinks to the roof, staring helplessly at the screen. He wants to run to find her, but he knows there's no point. Elizabeth is gone. He's seen enough people die to know what the look in their eyes means. From the men in the Crusades to the men of the Renaissance and the streets of Constantinople, Desmond has seen countless people die. Even a few at his own hand

[ Selina finds the video waiting for her when she returns to the room that Elizabeth was kind enough to get her. A rush of emotions hit her, and for once, they all play on her face. Confusion, shock, hurt and anger. Anger that someone would kill Queen Elizabeth I, and anger that it keeps happening. This place is about starting a new life. They shouldn't be dying at every turn. Raven, now Elizabeth. It's almost like everyone she comes into contact with meets a bitter end. Bruce, Raven, Elizabeth... all of them. Her first instinct is to run. Run away before anything else can catch up to her. Her past shouldn't be haunting her here and repeating, damn it.
The phone drops and the last thing that is seen is Selina throwing the door to her room open and disappearing into the dark hallway as it shuts off. ]

[Pepper doesn't even bother turning on the video function. There's too much blood on the ground, and...what would she be able to do anyway?
Your Majesty, why?]
