73 [Video]

[Rei is sitting on the floor, her knees to her chest. Her back is pressed against an invisible wall -- a chamber, of sorts, made out of energy. She is perfectly still, breathing slow and even, her eyes fixated on whatever is in front of her ( Read more... )

peeking into the future isn't cheating, not as strong as she appears, so not crazy, raphael is a giant bitch, shinto priestess by day, archangels suck except gabriel so there, i adopt angels in my spare time, stupid angels, listening to hitsugaya for once, guilt is her middle name, just got pwned, break my little heart in two, this is somehow castiel's fault, lucifer is a douchebag, death is but the next adventure

[Okay, that's so creepy, Gabriel HAS to break radio silence.]

Uh. You aren't gonna climb out of a well or tell anyone they're gonna die in seven days, are you?

[Ordinarily, she would toss him a flat look. Instead, she shifts to actually look at the camera, uncertain.

Then, it hits her -- he doesn't know. There was no other explanation for his nonchalance.

Her fingers curl into the edge of her pants abruptly, knuckles white.]

I need to talk to you, too.

...And now I'm concerned on multiple levels.

It has to do with Castiel.

[She has to force herself into saying it. Ignoring what happened -- that won't spark another incident.]

[After a long pause.] Can you get out of your angry dome for ten minutes to meet me outside?

...one hour. Give me an hour.

[Hitsugaya needs to be convinced she won't try to kill anyone again.]

[ONE HOUR LATER.

There is Gabriel, standing outside... Okay, not standing, more like pacing like an annoyed tiger.

...Okay, so he might have been out there the whole hour. Something's wrong. Big time.]

[It takes some hedging, but Rei slips outside, looking...exhausted.

When she speaks, her tone is extraordinarily small. And lost.]

Gabriel.

[Please stop pacing before you make her tweak.]

[He stops. Rei... Doesn't talk like that. Ever. He swallows and gives her a small nod.] Rei. What happened?

[For a moment, Rei looks as if she doesn't want to answer. But she steels her resolve and clenches her teeth together. You are a soldier, Hino. Suck it up and deal with it.

But the resolve soon left as she began to talk.]

I had a vision. Of him. He slammed into a wall -- hard -- and he --

[Rei forces herself to suck in a breath.]

I tried to find him, but Jinx found me first, and I -- I lost it because she wouldn't leave me alone and then I just -- I just had this feeling, I knew -- I was too late, but I -- tried.

[She falls silent before swallowing, continuining quietly -- almost pathetically.]

I tried.

Castiel's dead? [His voice is so quiet, it's almost unnatural, considering how normally loud-mouthed he is. He meant to ask about Jinx mid-way through the conversation, but got waylaid by that undeniable fact.

Castiel's dead.

...I would know if he wasn't.

[He would have contacted her. He would have demanded why the ever loving hell she had decided to go against Lucifer -- no, he wouldn't have even let her leave the house.

But more importantly, their lines of Fate were intertwined -- Rei was caught in his future. And by seeing that vision -- Rei knew, as soon as her stomach fell, that the angel was no longer alive.

Her eyes are full of tears, but she doesn't let them fall. This was her fault, after all -- and she lost the right to cry about it when she trapped Lucifer in holy fire.]

[Gabriel, however, only sees it as his own fault. He tilts his chin up and swallows, turning away from her, because he is not going to watch her cry over what he did.] I shouldn't've let you trap me. This wouldn't have happened if I'd just went with my gut.

Don't.

[ -- ah, there's the harsh snappiness that she was missing.]

[He whirls.] Don't what? Castiel would've taken the fall for this if I hadn't beaten him to it, and in the end? He still ended up dead. Don't try to sell me I didn't start this.

And none of this would've happened if I hadn't trapped Lucifer in the first place! None of you would be in danger if I had used anything else to get away! And no one should've taken the fall for me to begin with!

[For a small girl, Rei has quite the presence, and she scowls up at Gabriel, fists clenched.]

Cas' death isn't anyone's fault but mine.
