Because we love them, they're targets.

[Yes, Michael can relate, Dean. He's been in the same predicament, after all.]

No, you do not have to merely stand idly by. Send them back to Hell, with the righteousness you carry inside. Let it burn from within...they will see it and know fear.

[Not really all that surprising...]

I'm workin' on it. But I'm treatin' the symptoms, not the disease. Mighta offed the zombie army, but Death's still out there.

[And he'll have to do it again, for the last time, at the end of all things. He knows your pain, Dean.]

That too is of import. It is not your task to take on eternity, Dean Winchester. You have duties elsewhere.

[likedillinger.livejournal.com]

Yeah, fully aware of my duties. I'm up to my ass in duties.

[Michael just shakes his head and sighs. He understands, he does, but there's no reasoning with the man.]

Look, I didn't say I was givin' up. And I'm sure as hell not lying down and sayin' 'yes' to Other-You. And as long as there's breath in this body of mine, and I'm the one operating the pedals? I'll fight to my last freaking moment to protect these people.



But it's still not fair to them. I shouldn't have even let so many of them in.

No, you should not. For that is not your Purpose, Dean Winchester. This "war" between Heaven and Hell which has so consumed you and your family is folly, naught more! I know not where Father has gone, nor why He allows this to continue, but I do know that should it come to pass, it will destroy all of Creation!

You have a duty to your brother, to Robert Steven, to those you love and care for. For e'en though you would remain alone, it is not for you to do so. They are your Purpose, Dean, and it is to them you are to remain true, not this angelic rabble.

Had I my way, they would each and all feel the wrath of Jehovah Himself, for daring to interfere with the Divine Plan of God!

I know all that. I'm not gonna turn my back on them. I'll do anything I damn well can for them, and you know that.

And I sure as hell wish you could have your way, and smite all their arrogant asses off the map, but ... doesn't work that way here, I guess. So we'll just ... keep fightin'. 'Til we find a way.

Then do not whine to me as a puling child denied a favorite toy, boy. It is unbecoming of thee! Stand straight and tall and graciously accept this Divine task which thou hast been given! For it is in your Father's Honor do you act!

[The archangel pauses and takes a deep breath.]

I know it is hard, Dean. I have been where you stand. And it will get no easier as time goes on. I would not have wished this for you, not even should it mean the ending of all things. You are my Father's son, my brother.

Yes, having to stay my hand is indeed...frustrating.

[He doesn't respond to that. Just takes it in thoughtful silence.]

Hard, I can do. It's all I know.



Sammy and I'll stop 'em in the end. Or die tryin'.


Again.

[judgmentdivine.livejournal.com]

And that shall be enough. In the end.

And now I have Linkin Park stuck in my head.

Then here's to the end.
