Pairing: Gabriel x reader
Summary: Ā Sometimes it takes more than weapons and magic to survive a hunt when things go sideways. Ā
Warnings/Tags: angst, imprisonment, restraints, implied torture, realized feelings
A/N: This was inspired by all the RSJ gifs from Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders flying across my dash, so you can thank @rich-a-day for this one. Ā
This is also an unbetaād drunk ādrabbleā, and I blame all my mistakes on the vodka.
āGabe?ā Ā Itās not the volume of your words that cuts through the quiet so much as your uncertainty.
He doesnāt hesitate in responding, the timbre of his voice as strong and steady as if you were both back at the bunker. Ā āYeah?ā
You swallow, and for a moment you almost back down from your confession. Ā āIām scared.ā Ā
His presence immediately stretches across the small dungeon, flooding it from wall to wall until thereās nothing but him surrounding you. Ā āItās going to be ok, sweetheart. Ā I promise.ā
Only he canāt promise these things, not now that heās so powered down heās practically human. Ā
āCāmere.ā Ā He motions you over with his free hand as the other hangs level with his head, secured to the wall in enochian engraved cuffs. Ā
You look at him a moment. Ā āI canāt.ā Ā
The rope around your wrists pulls tight as you raise them, reminding him that you, too, are a bit tied up at the moment.
He simply arches a brow. Ā āSince when has a little rope and metal ever stopped you?ā
Any other time you would have responded with toucheĀ or an equally smartass remark, but the screams down the hall distract you, sending your heart rate into the stratosphere as another round of adrenaline courses through your veins. Ā
Youāre going to die here. Ā Itās all you can think about. Ā Sam and Dean donāt have a clue where you are, neither you nor Gabriel know enough about your location to send any hints to Cas, and the agonizing shrieks that echo through the underground chambers never stop. Ā
Itās only a matter of time before your captors come for you. Ā Ā
āDonāt give up on me yet.ā Ā The command drags you back from the depths of your mind, and when his face comes back into focus heās more serious than youāve ever seen him. Ā āYouāre one of the smartest people I know, and with these in play,āĀ metal rattles against stone as he shakes his bound hand at you,Ā āWe need all the brain power we can get.ā Ā
He needs you. Ā You. Ā And the revelation is enough to shake you free from your fear, if only temporarily. Ā
You glance up at your bindings. Ā The material itself seems pretty sound. Ā The fibers are smooth, wound tight, without signs itās beginning to dry out or fray. Ā
Next, you inspect the steel eyelet thatās keeping you tethered to the wall. Ā Itās relatively new, hardy, without any chips or rust. Ā The stone itās embedded in, however, is another story. Ā
There are cracks where the metalās been hammered in, and when you run your fingers around the edges a few pieces break away and fall to the floor. Ā
