In Which Dean Reflects
It’s not that Dean isn’t happy to see Gabriel, ‘cause as much as he hates to admit it, he is. With his unexpected return he had brought the end of the Leviathans and Dick-freaking-Roman, and for that Dean is grateful. It’s the memories of happier times—well, okay trying to be recruited as Michael’s vessell, fighting Lucifer and the Apocalypse, having their half brother resurrected just to be trapped in the cage, and hunting the four horsemen weren’t exactly happier times—but compared to now, they kind of are.
