It was now the beginning of December and winter had well and truly set in making the streets of New York crisp and white with snow and it was bitterly cold. It was a temperature that Stefan was normally used to, what with not being human, although with the aid of the ring which allows Stefan to walk about in the daylight he is more human than some people would give him credit for. So Stefan was feeling the cold which was a strange concept for him, as he rubbed his hands together walking through the streets heading for his shift at the hospital. Stefan was a trained paramedic and had been for a couple of years now; he loves the job because he finds it a brilliant way of helping people who really need it. Being a paramedic means that Stefan is out on the road in the ambulance, but at the start of his shift he always has to go into the hospital to clock on and this was what he was about to do.
He and Jo had been married for over a month now and he hadn’t looked back since. Well there was the very awkward moment when he had come home from work a week ago and found Katherine and Damon in his house. Stefan might be fully in love with Jo but there was no denying the underlying attraction and feelings that both Katherine and Stefan held for each other. Not that Stefan would have acted on them, he was in love with Jo, she was his soul mate and it was plain to see that Damon and Katherine were made for each other. But there was no denying the fact that he and Katherine had chemistry and a history together, a history that Stefan didn’t want to be repeated but it was a history nonetheless. Stefan walked into the hospital glad of the heat inside and soon made his way to the reception desk at the Emergency Room and clocked on. Usually Stefan would take off his jacket then as well and just wear his paramedic uniform, but it was way too cold outside to do that.
So after he clocked on he walked away from the reception desk and was heading down one of the long corridors of the hospital to stock up his medical kit when someone bumped into him and then quickly apologised. Stefan was sure he recognised that voice and as Stefan turned to look at who had bumped into him his eyes almost popped out of his head. It had been a very long time since Stefan had seen Gabriel. He knew that Gabriel was an angel and sometimes when they were wandering earth it usually spelled trouble, so it automatically spooked Stefan wondering what the hell was going on, were they about to go through some sort of apocalypse or something? He looked at him with a raised eyebrow, “Gabriel Austen, we meet again. It’s been a long time, I hope that your appearance does not bring bad news, I am very happy with my life right now.”

When Stefan saw Gabriel his first instinct was to think that there was trouble brewing in the world because usually angels were only sent to earth when there was trouble. He had questioned Gabriel about this and he saw that he raised his eyebrow but smiled at him. However he didn’t answer Stefan right away, instead playing a trick on some of the hospital staff. Stefan could only stand and watch in slight amusement and shock as Gabriel froze time around the both of them and put the cup of coffee above the doctor’s head and then he spoke to Stefan apologising saying that what he had just done was something that couldn’t be passed. Stefan just gave him a weak smile and shook his head slightly, “I see that some things never change then Gabriel.” Stefan replied not wanting to be too near the doctor when Gabriel decided to unfreeze time again.
Soon enough after playing his little trick Gabriel began to answer his question and as Stefan listened to what he had to say relief washed over him slightly, although at the last thing Gabriel said he couldn’t help but feel sorry for the angel. Stefan could understand how he may be feeling to a degree because he and Damon, his only blood relative were not on the best of terms with each other. Oh they would side with each other against a common enemy to defend their own, but as far as sibling relationship goes they had nothing. “I am truly sorry to hear that my friend, but I must admit I am glad that you are not here to warn of trouble.”
Once Gabriel had finished answering Stefan’s question he snapped his fingers and the coffee cup which had been hovering above the doctor’s head fell onto him as Gabriel chose his moment to unfreeze time. The doctor naturally began to yell at the nurse and all Stefan could do was shake his head as he looked at Gabriel. If it weren’t for the fact that he and Gabriel were friends he may have been tempted to tell what had happened, although he soon realised that would be stupid, as they would likely never have believed him, after all, nobody at the hospital other than Peter knew he was a vampire. Gabriel said the scene was touching and Stefan just shook his head at him again but before he could say anything Gabriel spoke again saying that it wasn’t a cool trick. “No, I believe it was far from a cool trick.” Stefan said shaking his head once more.
Gabriel then asked Stefan why he was happy adding was it because Damon was finally killed or was it a girl. Stefan gave Gabriel a slightly warmer smile this time finding it a little funny that he should have asked if his life was good due to Damon being killed. “My brother may be a terrible annoyance to my life Gabriel but I would never wish death on him, although I have to still admit that if anyone was to take Damon’s life away I would rather it was me.” He sighed a little then feeling bad once more for thinking like that about his brother, but really if anybody else tried to kill his brother, Stefan would be in there like a shot stopping them, just like Stefan knew Damon would never allow for another to take his life away from him either.
“It is a girl. I met and fell in love with the most gorgeous and wonderful woman, we fell madly and instantly in love the night we met, and a month later we got married. I have never been so happy in my life Gabriel.” Stefan replied giving him an even warmer smile than before, one which was slowly turning into a grin. Stefan loved talking about Jo; it was evident every single day. “So, if you have not been home in so long, what have you been doing with your life on earth, or should I refrain to ask?” Stefan said chuckling slightly wondering what he would hear from Gabriel about his time on earth, knowing he liked to play tricks on people, Stefan could only imagine that anything he had done couldn’t be anything too good.

[/b][/i] Gabriel thought to himself. Sometimes not showing emotion wasn’t a good thing. Gabriel decided to make sure to play another trick on the nurse later in the day. Gabriel couldn’t get enough of tricks, but sometimes his tricks weren’t great enough. Perhaps he should have had the doctor’s pants drop. Now that would have been funny. “It wasn’t my best,” the archangel said as he raised an eyebrow as he noticed that his friend was shaking his head once more. The archangel looked at his old friend’s facial expression as the old friend gave him a slightly warmer smile than from what he was giving him. Gabriel knew about Damon. He had never met Damon, but sometimes Stefan talked about Damon and Damon seemed a bit of an annoyance for Stefan. Gabriel felt sorry for Stefan. “Well, at least you aren’t afraid to stand up to your brother as I am,” he admitted. Gabriel believe it or not could never stand up to his brothers. They were extremely powerful and Gabriel wasn’t as powerful as them. So yes life was a bit lame for the archangel Gabriel. Funny how Gabriel would always admit to people that he loved both of his brothers – he did, but he loved one more than other. Gabriel grinned from ear to ear as he heard his friend talk about why he was in such a good life. The archangel was right. It was a girl. Gabriel nodded as he listened to his friend. His friend seemed joyous about it. This was a good sign. Gabriel loved to hear about how his friends finding love. Gabriel on the other hand had a few lovers, but they were either dead or pissed at him for something he did to them. “That is amazing” he said with a grin as he patted his friend on the back. “And I’m happy for you” he said with another smile. Gabriel was indeed happy for his friend. Then the question about if he hadn’t been home for years than what had he done on Earth. He placed his hand on his forehead thinking of what he had done. “Hunt demons, play tricks, have monthly meeting with the pagan gods and help save humanity (when I feel like it).” Gabriel said with a slight chuckle. That was all he was doing these days. "I have some interesting tales I pranked a dictator" he wondered if Stefan wanted to hear this prank that he did on Hitler.[/ul]

After Stefan had said he was glad that Gabriel wasn’t there to warn of trouble he had to raise an eyebrow slightly at his response when he said that he didn’t usually warn people of trouble but that he was glad there was no trouble to warn about. “I see, so which one of you normally warns of pending trouble?” Stefan asked, as he knew that Gabriel had some brothers, well, he was sure to have plenty of siblings, but Stefan was aware of the notable ones, those being Lucifer, the devil himself and Michael. So really in a way Stefan had just answered his own question because there was no way Lucifer would warn of trouble when he was the one usually causing the said trouble, so it could only mean it would have been Michael. Unless there were other angels God sent to warn of danger.
After the trick Gabriel had played on the doctor and nurse and made the comment that it wasn’t a cool trick and Stefan had agreed Gabriel then replied saying it wasn’t his best. Well Stefan couldn’t argue with that one. He had seen Gabriel play many tricks on people over the time he had known him some extremely funny and others which were highly dangerous to the people concerned. In many ways it was a wonder he and Gabriel were friends at all what with Stefan’s over whelming compassion for the human race and yet, Stefan found himself liking Gabriel because Stefan felt that he was just misunderstood in many ways. “It was definitely not your best.” Stefan finally replied to Gabriel, but smiling anyway.
The conversation soon turned to Stefan’s wayward brother Damon and as he had spoken about Damon being an annoyance but not wishing death on him Gabriel had replied saying that at least Stefan could stand up to his brother unlike him. “Well, I am able to stand up to him now, but not before. Before Damon was much stronger than me because he was always feeding on human blood where as I drink synthetic or animal blood. Or at least I used to. That was until I met Ryan. Ryan is like the brother I wish Damon was. He can produce human blood, it’s an ability of his, and so he has been giving me quantities of it, and I have been taking it. Because I am not killing someone to drink it I feel no remorse and now I am just as strong as Damon. It feels good I must admit, although it did overtake me for a short while one day and I lost my inhibitions, I had to learn to control myself again.” Stefan explained to Gabriel, it was a bit of a speech but he felt it needed saying and he was glad he had told his old friend about it.
Then Stefan placed a hand on Gabriel’s shoulder, “But my friend, you should not be afraid to stand up to your brother. You are a very powerful being I am sure of that.” Then again maybe Stefan was very wrong, because at the start everyone had assumed that Stefan was as powerful as Damon, when in fact the truth was that Stefan was nowhere near as powerful. “Unless of course it is like how Damon and I used to be.” Stefan added so as not to make Gabriel feel bad if Stefan had indeed got it wrong that Gabriel would be or should be as powerful as his siblings.
Stefan had then told Gabriel that his life being good at this moment was down to a girl and told him about his love for Josephine and he couldn’t help but smile warmly at his friend as he said it was amazing and he was happy for him. “Thank you Gabriel it means a lot to hear you say that. She is a wonderful woman, and oh so very beautiful. I feel complete with her in my life. The good thing is, she has the ability to regenerate, which means she will stay as young as she is now, like me.” Or at least that’s how Stefan was sure how regeneration worked, either that or she would get older but at a far slower rate, but he had heard of many with regeneration who had been around for centuries.
Stefan had then asked Gabriel what he had been doing on earth over the years if he hadn’t been at home. He had to smile slightly as he saw Gabriel touch his brow obviously thinking about what he had been doing. Stefan nodded his head slowly at what Gabriel told him, “It sounds like it has been a lot of fun, for you I am sure.” Gabriel then spoke some more about a trick he had played on a dictator and did he want to hear it. “Well, I will be starting my shift soon, or I should be, but I am sure I might just have enough time to hear about it if you are willing to share it.” Stefan replied and smiled warmly at him as he looked at his watch and seen that he still had at least twenty minutes before he needed to actually be working even though he had already clocked in. “Maybe we could go to the hospital cafe and you can tell me about it over a coffee or something?” Stefan suggested as he patted his old friend on the back with a hand and waited to hear what Gabriel thought before heading in the direction of the hospital cafe.

{ooc- still can't get away with the size of your post lol going to try cut down the size of Stefan's since you're bringing in Michael or Lucifer and sorry it took me so long to get back to you, just too much muse elsewhere}
When Stefan had asked Gabriel which one of the angels usually warned of pending trouble it seemed to Stefan that his old friend was struggling to answer his question a little. Stefan put his hand on Gabriel’s arm, “It is alright my friend, I am just glad that everything is good with the world.” Well as good as it was ever going to get anyway because Stefan knew that Damon would be back in his life again at some point, he was never away for long because it would seem that Damon enjoyed making Stefan’s life a misery.
As conversation had turned to Damon, Stefan had told Gabriel about his friend Ryan whom he looked to as a brother. He also told Gabriel about the blood that Ryan was producing for him which was making Stefan as strong as Damon ever was. Gabriel then questioned Ryan saying that he sounded like an angel he had heard of who could produce blood. Stefan nodded his head, “Ryan is indeed an angel, and the two of us have often spoken about the humour in the idea that a vampire and an angel are the best of friends.” It was funny really; anybody on the outside looking in would find it very strange that a vampire and angel were the best of friends to the point of calling each other family, but then Stefan wasn’t much of a monster, when you know the two of them their friendship makes much more sense. Gabriel then said he would like to meet Ryan one day; Stefan gave Gabriel a nod of the head, “I am sure that I can ask Ryan to meet with you.”
When Stefan told Gabriel he should stand up to his brothers because he was just as powerful as they were, Gabriel answered agreeing that he was powerful and was the third powerful archangel in Heaven. Stefan gave Gabriel a warm smile, “Well then I see it that you could give them a good run for their money.” Although to be fair Stefan had no idea what was going on in Heaven between all the angels and of course between Gabriel and his brothers. Stefan had finally managed to stand up to his brother and it had felt good, he just wanted his old friend to do the same.
As Stefan spoke more about Jo and how she now had the ability to regenerate and how he hoped it would mean Jo would stay forever young like him he had added that he was sure that’s how the ability of regeneration worked anyway. He couldn’t help but smile warmly as Gabriel agreed that yes indeed the ability to regenerate would do that as Gabriel had the ability. “Well that is wonderful. At first Josephine had wanted me to make her a vampire so she could stay young like me, but I refused to do it. We sort of had a day or two where we did not talk because of it, but then Josephine took ill and she lost her original ability which was strength. Ryan was the one to save her by giving her a new ability which was regeneration. So we were both happy.” Stefan explained about the whole story over Jo’s ability changing. However he was pretty certain that even if Jo hadn’t lost her ability of strength and gained regeneration he and Jo would still be together now, because the connection between them was one which could not have been broken.
Gabriel then spoke of a trick he had played on a dictator and Stefan suggested they go for a coffee before their shifts officially started and he could tell him all about it there. He smiled and gave a nod of his head as Gabriel admitted that it was a good idea. “Then that is what we shall do.” Stefan replied and began walking toward the hospital cafe. Gabriel asked rather loudly if they had chocolate at the cafe, “They have everything Gabriel, I am sure that you will feel satisfied.” Stefan chuckled slightly then and the next thing he knew Gabriel had disappeared on Stefan, probably using his teleportation ability. It just prompted Stefan to use his excessive speed and in a second he was behind Gabriel in the queue. Once Stefan got a latte he made his way to the table where Gabriel was waiting and raised an eyebrow at him.
“What happened to all the chocolate you were going to get?”

[/i][/b] Lucifer thought to himself as he headed towards the table where the two friends were located. “’bout time I found you,” Lucifer interrupted as he did a bear hug to Gabriel and ruffled his hair. “Mind if I join you two?” [/ul]

{ooc - like the new banner for Gabe & sorry the post is quite small, not sure what's up with my Stefan muse just now, maybe cuz TVD is finished for now *shrugs*}
When Gabriel made the comment about him being an angel and he was friends with Stefan he had to chuckle slightly and nodded his head. “Yes that is true my friend, however our friendship was forged a long time ago, this one with Ryan is very new and it took him by surprise, which was why I mentioned the humour.” Stefan said hoping to explain away his reasons for saying he and Ryan had often talked of the humour being the vampire being best friends with the angel. It wasn’t much of a surprise for Stefan to be friends with just about any species going, it was just in Stefan’s natural instincts to be a nice person and befriend almost everyone. Stefan had then said that he would make arrangements for Gabriel to meet Ryan and he gave a nod of acknowledgment when Gabriel said it would be wonderful. “You are welcome my friend.”
When Stefan had spoken more about Jo and how she had lost her ability of strength, Gabriel had made a comment about it being terrible that she lost it, but now they could forever be young together. Stefan nodded his head, “Yes, which is the one good thing about the change, as I could never have turned her into a monster like which she had asked of me so she could stay young.” Stefan hated thinking about that moment when she had asked him that, it had been the first time they had sort of angry words with each other and they had then spent a day or two apart and he had hated it.
Once they were sitting at the table Stefan had asked Gabriel what had happened to all the chocolate he was apparently going to buy and he replied saying his had lost his appetite with a frown. This caused Stefan to raise his eyebrow in concern and he was about to ask his friend if he was alright when another man approached and enveloped Gabriel in a hug. He was about to ask who it was when he heard Gabriel mutter the name Michael and Stefan took a guess on it being one of his archangel brothers. He had then asked if he could join them and Gabriel seemed to stammer over his words but eventually said he could join them. Stefan tilted his head to the side a little, “Michael, it is good to finally meet one of Gabriel’s brothers.” He then held his hand out to introduce himself, “Stefan Winchester.” He said giving his name over.

{ooc - sorry it took me a couple of days, I just get so into Dominic and his posts I tend to neglect my other threads - all of the others lol}
When Stefan introduced himself to Gabriel’s brother he said it was a pleasure to meet him and then added that his brother was friends with a vampire. The voice was low so nobody would be able to hear it apart from Stefan and Gabriel. Stefan nodded his head and gave him a smile, “Yes your brother is friends with a vampire. I know it sounds strange to think that, but I am not how you would imagine a vampire to be.” Stefan said trying to speak up for himself, it still annoyed him that every single time someone found out what he was they immediately thought that he was going to attack them or rip their throat out. So many vampires in this world were evil that he couldn’t blame their hesitation but to not even bother to find out about Stefan before making assumptions annoyed him as much as he had overwhelming compassion for the human race.
Stefan sat back while the brothers communicated with each other and not in the best way either it would seem. It was quite refreshing for Stefan to see another pair of siblings annoy each other instead of being in the middle of a sibling war himself, which he usually was with Damon. When Gabriel said that it wasn’t Michael, Stefan raised his eyebrow wondering who could it be, but obviously it was still a brother with the way he and Gabriel were acting with each other. He got his answer soon enough when Gabriel told him to meet Lucifer. Stefan’s eyes opened wide in a bit of horror, he knew who Lucifer was, he had heard enough. “That devil himself, I never thought I would get to meet the devil in the flesh so to speak.” Stefan replied and wondered how the meeting was going to go now that the truth was out.
Gabriel then seemed to have a go at Lucifer about leaving and how home wasn’t the same since he had got banished and Gabriel left because of it. Gabriel then turned to Stefan and apologised saying that family things were boring around them. Stefan just gave him a small smile and shook his head, “No, not at all, I was just thinking how refreshing it was to see another set of brothers at each other’s necks so to speak.” He chuckled then, after all what kind of friend would Stefan be if he got up and walked out just because Gabriel and his brother had a boring life?
