Making Demands - Constantine
Authors notes: I don't own Constantine. Don't claim to. I just like the fandom.
Making Demands
Michael, after finding that Gabriel had Fallen, mourned for his friend.
But only briefly.
Gabriel’s replacement, Chaz, seemed a likely candidate. Other than the fact that Gabriel had murdered him in cold blood, automatically removing Gabriel from God’s good graces, and giving Chaz his postion. If Gabriel had used someone else to kill Chaz, the punishment might not have been so severe.
But Chaz was already coming up with concerns. He actually sought out the other Three, because he had one thought on his mind.
“John. Gabriel’s gonna try to kill him. I know it. He’s gonna think that John had something to do with the way he went all wacko.”
Raphael simply gave Chaz a glance. He knew who Chaz was, and who’d killed him. He didn’t exactly blame him, or John, but he knew that at one time, he’d trusted Gabriel.
Though, Auriel spoke up, and voiced Raphael’s own concerns.
“Right…and we’re to care..why now? John hates all of us, so why are you defending him? He especially hated Gabriel, so why are we to trust him?”
“That’s bullshit. Gabriel was just full of himself.”
Michael snorted. Chaz was right - he had started to Holier-Than-Thou at the last.
“He didn’t used to be that way. Whatever quarrel he had with Constantine, I’m sure he’s done with it.”
He’d lied, of course. One of Gabriel’s favorite animals was the Killer Whale. He claimed that he loved its grace in the water, despite its bulk…but Michael knew that he also loved the fact that they hunted prey till its death, whether it was the whale, or the prey, never letting up. Michael tested Chaz, using that statement. Tested what he’d learned under Constantine.
Chaz proved himself well.
“You don’t know Gabriel at ALL, do you? You know that’s bullshit! What, is that all you guys can say, or is it just me? You’re all full of it, fuck this.”
Michael ignored his own anger. He knew that Chaz was angry also, and that comment was well deserved between the three of them.
Raphael kept his calm.
“What happens if we help you? Do you have any idea, what kind of power you have?”
Chaz shook his head.
“This is something I gotta do. John woulda done the same for me, my ass was on the line.”
Michael spoke up.
“Swiftly ignored. Answer the question.”
Chaz gritted his teeth.
“What happens if you help me? What happens if you DON’T? Think about it, no one is keeping the Balance in check, save for John an’ uh…that chick…what’s ‘er name..”
Auriel spoke up again.
“Angela.”
“Yeah! That one. It’s up to them now. I gotta help them.. I gotta pay ‘em back.”
