Restless No More: Gabriel/OPEN

[Omnipotent]

Wake
Silent Night
Notes: Gabriel doesn't know, so basically Omni knows she will run into him since it's apart of her and his destiny.

The more she looked around, the more troubled she became. The entire city.. ruined. Her eyes scanned the almost deserted park. Many fled her for a bit of security, she could only shed a silent tear at the pure heartedness of those around her. The people her threw what they once thought out the door, bound together and began helping one another. Even through times like this, the human raced never ceased to amaze her.

She hummed softly along to Silent Night as some of the woman in the group began singing it. She let out a soft sigh as she moved on. She had more planned that just visiting earth after the aftermath. A plan, perhaps destiny was going into place tonight.

Her hands dipped into her jacket as she walked along the beaten and bloody path of the park. Giving another soft sigh, she closed her eyes. She suspected him along any time...

[Gabriel]

Restless No More

Times were hard. Rouge was gone from his life, and he was once more alone but that wasn't even scratching the surface of all the problems. He hardly even believed in Heaven and Hell before Lucifer rose. Well the truth was that he did believe he just kept telling himself there couldn't be a God ever since his daughter died. The memory always haunted him.

Gabriel paused at a street corner and absently stroked the small necklace hidden beneath his shirt. It was his daughter's. The chain held a small cross that had a small inscription "For God so loved the world" When they died, he made a small leather pouch to hang around the cross.

"For God so loved the world right?!" He called out angrily at nothing. A tear waltzed down his cheek. The sky was aflame. People were starving on the streets or kneeling, begging God for a second chance.

"There's no second chances... Annie didn't get one.. I haven't either.."

[Omnipotent]

"For God so loved the world right?!"

Her head lifted as the words escaped someone's lips angrily. Of course they blamed her. God was suppose to be helpful, suppose to be there for you when you needed her.. But where was she? Her eyes closed softly as she tilted her head to the heavens. "I have shamed my children.. abandoned them when they needest me most.."

Her eyes opened to see the reddish-orange sky, still remaining. She wished it gone, she wished none of this had come to pass. They had ample warnings.. didn't they? She did her best, right? Then why did she feel so broken? She sighed loudly and kept walking forward. "Silent night, holy night. Shepherds quake at the sight, glories stream from heaven afar..." She sang softly.

"With the dawn of redeeming grace...Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth... Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.." She sighed softly, stopping as she saw him not two feet from her. "There's no second chances... Annie didn't get one.. I haven't either.." Her breathe caught, he was the angry voice in the night.. "Yes there is.. I believe there is.." She paused, her hands folded before her.

"God, believes there is."

"God, believes there is." He heard a voice, as though far away. Gabriel shook his head and looked up.

"God believes? I wish it were true, but God should have 'loved' us enough to stop all the shit in the world. Now Lucifer is killing everyone, doing as he pleases. Where's God?" Gabriel gestured around him. "I doubt God gives a damn."

A new song went up on his Zune. Gabriel rubbed his aching head. "Sorry. I'm rather angry right now, I shouldn't have yelled at you." He took a deep breath then began walking again. Life isn't as it should be. If God loved us, He would have saved us by now.

[Omnipotent]

"God believes? I wish it were true, but God should have 'loved' us enough to stop all the shit in the world. Now Lucifer is killing everyone, doing as he pleases. Where's God?"

She walked closer, now right beside him. "Perhaps god has her reasons? Perhaps her children gave up on her a long time ago, and thus, made her give up on them? But that doesn't mean God stops loving, or caring for her children. God loves all, critters, mutants, or humans. Race bears no color to God. All she sees is the color of love." She told him gently.

"Sorry. I'm rather angry right now, I shouldn't have yelled at you."

"Do not appologize. You'd be surprised how many yell at me, Gabriel." She smiled softly at him.'Life isn't as it should be. If God loved us, He would have saved us by now.' Her head dipped down slightly. "God does love you.. Gabriel.." She whispered.

Lifting her head, she starred at him a moment. "I am saving you."

[Gabriel]

"You'd be suprised how many yell at me, Gabriel. God does love you... Gabriel.. I am saving you." Gabriel stopped mid stepp and turned to look at the woman.

"God?" Gabriel closed his gaping jaw. His hand went back to his cross. "I don't take back anything I said. I meant every word of it. If your saving me, then why don't I feel saved?" Gabriel walked up to her.

"You're supossed to be omnipotent. You know all see all and love all? How come this happened then?"

[Omnipotent]

"God?" Gabriel closed his gaping jaw. His hand went back to his cross. "I don't take back anything I said. I meant every word of it. If your saving me, then why don't I feel saved?"

A pained expression crossed her face as she gently reached out to him. "Gabriel.. these things.. they don't happen overnight. It takes time, to gain your strength.. to realize just who you are, and what you were meant to do. What destiny has in store for you is far greater than this.." She shook her head. "It's okay, I don't want you too. I know you meant what you said, I could feel it with every word."

"You're supossed to be omnipotent. You know all see all and love all? How come this happened then?"

She took in a deep breath, looking up at the sky. It once held such beauty and wonder... now the smell of death lingered in the air. "I know all, I do see all, and I do.. love all." She looked back at him and nodded her head as if to say 'walk with me' as she began to stroll down the park's path. "Many have been asking that.. I don't blame their curiosity. I am god, they figured I would be here to help." She sighed heavily, her wings fluttering.

"Gabriel.. everything happens for reasons only I know. Trust in me when I tell you this to shall pass. This is only a minuscule part of the earth's always changing history." She paused. "I know what I have done is wrong. I stepped where I shouldn't, done things I too regret.. lost many loved ones.." She grew quiet as she stopped walking.

"Destiny is unfolding before my eyes.. and sometimes.." Her brows scrunched together. "Sometimes I do wish I could stop it. But that would mean disrupting the natural order of things." She turned to him, eyes bright. "If you think it's bad now.. you're wrong."

The wind blew past them as she stood there, starring. "It will get worse before it gets better."

[Gabriel]

She sure talked alot. He began walking with her. Maybe if he was around God, he'd stop being so lonely.

[/b]"-A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. -Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disiples woke him and said to him, 'Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?'
-He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, 'Quiet! Be still!' then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
-He said to his disciples, 'Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?'
-They were terrified and asked each other, 'Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!'"[/b]

Gabriel looked up at the sky for a moment then back down at his shoes. "Mark four: thirty-seven to fourty-one." he said quietly. Gabriel had memorized half of the bible by the time he was thirteen... and the last half by the time he was sixteen.

"God, can you tell me something?" He closed his eyes for a second. "How are Annie and Mary-anne?"

[Omnipotent]

He was quoting her words, her past, her memories. Back in those days, she had no intentions of hiding in heaven. Back then, she prided on being near her children, being there when they needest her most. But things change, times change, her children changed. They lost faith, they turned to Lucifer, and left her behind. She took another inhale as the wind blew in her face. "Mark four: thirty-seven to fourty-one." She nodded. "Yes, I know." She replied lightly, opening her eyes gently.

"God, can you tell me something?" He closed his eyes for a second. "How are Annie and Mary-anne?"

She placed a hand on his shoulder and stared into his eyes. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Psalms 30:5" She told him gently. "Annie is well." She smiled softly. "She wishes you happiness and joy." She didn't want to tell him about Mary-anne.. didn't want to make him more angry at her than he already was.

[Gabriel]

"Annie is well. She wishes you happiness and joy." Gabriel had to fight tears.

"I miss her." Gabriel sighed. This was a great day to have told me that i was adopted, Arani... Gabriel looked at his watch, it was nearly two in the morning. "I hate this day." Gabe had finally figured out how to controll his incineration fully. But it didn't come in time.

"I don't know what to do with my life anymore. I thought that i'd be hunting mutants until they died... Then I thought i'd be hunting x's and anti's until i died... but now Rouge is gone. I feel so lost, God. Who am I? Where did I come from? The adoption agency has no records of my birth parents. Where do I go from here?"

[Omnipotent]

"I miss her." Gabriel sighed. 'This was a great day to have told me that i was adopted, Arani'... Gabriel looked at his watch, it was nearly two in the morning. "I hate this day."

She looked down, letting him have his moment. "“Seek peace, and pursue it Gabriel. I.. could help with that, if you would wish it so." She slowly looked back up at him. "I know things seem.. empty. Like there is no reason for your existance. But there is, Gabriel. I have plans for you." She declared. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Deja vu...

"I don't know what to do with my life anymore. I thought that i'd be hunting mutants until they died... Then I thought i'd be hunting x's and anti's until i died... but now Rouge is gone. I feel so lost, God. Who am I? Where did I come from? The adoption agency has no records of my birth parents. Where do I go from here?"

"One step at a time. One foot in-front of the other. Know that no matter how bad it may be, I am always by your side, though you may not see me, hear me, or feel me. I am there."

"Right. I do want to be helped, Lord, if it is fine by you. I'm tired of not having a purpous."

Gabriel stopped infront of a fountain and tossed a coin in.

"One step at a time. One foot in-front of the other. Know that no matter how bad it may be, I am always by your side, though you may not see me, hear me, or feel me. I am there." Gabriel turned back to her.

"I feel that you're hiding something from me, Father... Mother... umm... both... Please, tell me who I am." Gabriel felt the missing peice in his heart profoundly. But before she could answer Gabriel was blindsided by a vision.

All was silent. Gabriel was standing next to Omni in a park. Suddenly through the trees smoke was seen. Voices began filtering through from no where and the screams of those who could see what was happening were heard, evil laughter mixed.

Gabriel turned and looked at Omni's solem face then began to run to see. His wings shot out of his back but blood was all that was seen.

Gabriel fell back from the intensity of the vision. "What in the world?"

((ooc: let's pretend that they didn't see the sky or anything and that this was the night that Lucifer rose.. kinda fits with the song... xD ))

[Omnipotent]

"Right. I do want to be helped, Lord, if it is fine by you. I'm tired of not having a purpous."

She gave a soft nod, readying herself to help him deal with his pain. But she could feel something wasn't right. Something was shifting. Her eyes trailed to the sky as she listened to Gabriel talk.

"I feel that you're hiding something from me, Father... Mother... umm... both... Please, tell me who I am."

As much as she wanted to smile, an ominous feeling washed over her. "Gabriel.." But as her eyes turned to him, he was in the midsts of a vision. Her eyes trailed to the heaven's mouthing a thank you to Castiel, knowing he had sent it to him.

It was time to wake up. "What in the world?"

Omni walked up to him, and crouched down beside him. "You are right. All this time, you have been right. You are someone exceptionally special, Gabriel. The first, the oldest." She gently touched his forehead. "Time to wake, my son.. time to wake.."

[[kk and when she touched him all his memories should return.]]
