I should hope it wouldn't come to that. But I notice you haven't denied it.

[lotsoflaughs]

I haven't confirmed it either. Keep your temper better than all three of my older brothers and you should be fine.

[humanentity]

They're all older than you are?

[lotsoflaughs]

Order of archangels in my world goes Michael, Lucifer, Raphael, me. Then a good long while after, Dad got around to making our thousands of younger siblings.

[humanentity]

Gabriel and I are twins. We came into being in the exact same moment, as our older sisters did, Raphael and Uriel. Lucifer is the oldest; the Morning Star, our Father's fist archangel, and his most beloved.

[lotsoflaughs]

My Uriel wasn't an archangel. He's also dead for killing angels who didn't agree with him that Lucifer had the right idea.

Lucifer was also my Dad's favorite. Up until humans became Dad's new favorite and big bro's ensuing temper tantrum.

[humanentity]

My sister died when the humans dropped a mountain on her head. She didn't deserve such a fate.

Nor did Lucifer. He gave the humans fire, and war, but what Father asked us to do to him was incomprehensible.

[lotsoflaughs]

No, she didn't. My brother didn't do either of those things. Instead, he twisted and tortured a human until she became the first demon. That was a pretty big motivation behind Dad telling Michael to lock our brother in the Cage.

[humanentity]

You only imprisoned him?

[lotsoflaughs]

A little hard for him and Michael to try to kill each other during the Apocalypse if he's already dead, no?

Anyway, I tried to kill him to short-circuit things. It didn't end well for me.

[humanentity]

Our brother killed you?

[lotsoflaughs]

Close to it. I swapped myself out at more or less the last second with a construct to die in my place so he'd think he took me out. Took a little while to recover from that.

[humanentity]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

[lotsoflaughs]

I made a fake that looked and acted just like me so he wouldn't know that he didn't actually kill me and come looking to finish the job. Better?

[humanentity]

Better. You truly are powerful, Gabriel.

[lotsoflaughs]

Yup. Lucifer's the one who taught me how to use my abilities way back when, although I've picked up a few things since then. Making my illusions better and so on.

For the most part.

[humanentity]

I cannot imagine it's something that you could teach?

[lotsoflaughs]

Considering that this is all news to you, no. They're powers Dad made us with that we had to learn how to use.

[humanentity]

Unfortunate, but not unexpected. I suppose we will fight our battles our way, and you yours.

[lotsoflaughs]

Yeah, looks like. Although hey. I tend to have more fun with mine than my brothers. Having a sense of humor helps.

[humanentity]

I have a sense of humor, perhaps that will be my saving grace.

[lotsoflaughs]

Lucifer used to have one, but. You know. Millennia of prison and Michael turning on him kind of put a dent in it.

Anyway. From some questions you had earlier, I take it that your wings are physically there?

[humanentity]

They're a part of me, yes. I can conceal them at will, within my body, but they are present, and physical.
It's the greatest torture for an angel to have his wings pinned, or otherwise restrained.

[lotsoflaughs]

I can imagine. Never mind the pain factor, it takes away a method of escape or enjoyment.

[humanentity]

You must feel limited in comparison, trapped in your human form.
