-- "Gabriel" --
Lucifer and Gabriel watched the boys and Kali flee the scene before returning their focus to each other, Gabriel still holding out the blade as half warning, half protection. Lucifer made a face. "Over a girl. Gabriel, really? I mean I knew you were slumming..." He gave the "witness protection" meatsuit a cursory, uninterested once-over. "But I hope you didn't catch anything." He shuddered. Gabriel lowered his blade slightly, sighing. "Lucifer, you're my brother. And I love you" he began honestly. And he finished honestly too. "But you are a great big bag of dicks."
Lucifer narrowed his eyes once more, his voice lowering dangerously. "What did you just say to me?" Gabriel gripped his blade's handle tighter but didn't back down. "Look at yourself" he exclaimed, gesturing wildly at Lucifer's blood-soaked hands, blood splattered clothes, and melting vessel with larger and more obvious burns popping up everywhere. He was certainly a sight for sore eyes. "Boo hoo" Gabriel whined mockingly. "Daddy was mean to me, so I'm gonna smash up all his toys." Lucifer took an ominous step forward, greatly lessening the sizeable gap between them. "Watch your tone" he warned darkly. "Play the victim all you want" Gabriel pressed, his knuckles beginning to turn white from the length of time he'd been death-gripping his blade. "But you and me?" He used the blade's tip to gesture between himself and his brother with emphasis. "We know the truth. Dad loved you best. More than Michael, more than me. Then he brought the new baby home and you couldn't handle it. So this is all just one big temper tantrum." He waved his blade around vaguely, indicating the "all this" he was referring to, then brought it back down to point directly at Lucifer's heart.
"Time to grow up."
