Who: Heather, Robin and Gabriel(?)
When: After this.
Where: The Titanic!
What: Robin has lured Heather onto the ship. Though it didn't take much.
Warning: None!

Heather was practically bouncing on the balls of her feet. It took every ounce of her will power not to do her little nerdy dance right there. And not to squeal. She was geeking out almost as much as she did when she first met Robin. But of course he didn't see it cause it was on the network.

Okay so she wasn't all that excited about seeing the captains cabin. The bridge would have been better, in her opinion. Not that she wasn't interested in historic papers and charts and all that. She was... just a little less than she was in the mechanics of the ship... Or what was in the cargo hold. But Robin wanted to go, so she'd go. Maybe there was something nifty in there...

She stood at the front of the bow. Itching to climb up on the very point and spread her arms. But she was resisting that too. Because... she hated that movie... didn't she?

"We're on the freaking Titanic!" Okay she couldn't hold back anymore, as she squealed with girlish glee.

"It would have done you little good. I can hear you a mile away with those ridiculous things," he teased. He wasn't being seriously insulting, he just happened to think the bells were hilarious, not to mention unnecessary.

With a smile he took the hand she offered, pulling her out as she wiggled herself further forward. "You make an impressive picture right now. But I'm not laughing. I promise." Though it was a close thing.

"Well I am," Gabriel chuckled. "Hello kids." He learned against the door jam, his arms folded over his chest. "Nice to see you have found a new playground." His words were casual but there was an unease to him. He was there for business, to protect. He would rather have been about anywhere else. One, as it turned out, really was enough.

But he didn't want to poop on the party. "Did I hear something about cars?"

With Robin's help she wiggled until she was out from beneath the bar. The floor just didn't give much traction under a bed. Once she was out, she stuck her tongue out at Gabriel and Robin. "Last time that happened I worked on the problem area... I guess I have to wait a little while to work on the new one." She wrapped her arms around Robin's middle and squeezed. "He was just indulging me. Call me weird but one of the big things I wanted to do, if I ever got the chance, though being born when I was kinda made it impossible, was play hide n go seek on the Titanic. I even wrote a report about why it would be great when I was twelve." And she knew only two people would have played with her. Robin, and Tony. They did like to let her indulge in that childish side.

"Oh yeah, but I promised Robin we could go to the Captain's cabin first. Cause I'd probably drool over the cars for a while." Another thing she could go on and on about forever. Those cars. They just didn't engineer cars that way anymore. Now it was all about making the parts as cheaply as possible and charging astronomical prices for something it cost them a dime to create.

He grinned at the response, still attempting not to laugh, when she hugged him. At the same time he glanced over at Gabriel. He could read the uneasiness there. But he didn't make comment. "Though she does need to work on her hiding skills," he told him lightly.

"I read in this book that he wrote down everything that was happening in his log. I thought it would be interesting to read." He started to the door, knowing Heather at the least would follow. "Not that I plan to take it. I'm not the theiving kind," he added with a wink to the archangel as he passed him

"People did, you know. Play hide and seek. I mean, what else would you do on the biggest ship in the world? Sometimes I even let them win." The angel's voice was reserved, subdued. "As for the log, I'm thinking we let Heather decide what she wants to do next. This is, after all, her playground. Though, you don't need a log to find out everything that happened."

He glanced around the room and wondered where the paintings were. So much art that his sister would love to get her hands on. Apparently it was worth some money but Gabe didn't care about that. Some of it had been pretty.

"Whooooa wait a minute." She had followed Robin until Gabriel mentioned he 'let people win'. Setting those bells to jingle. "Gabriel. Were you on the ship?" Her eyes were wide, as she watched him take in the art. She snagged Robin's shirt. Making a bit of a monkey face at him, as if it was something he might have known and neglected to tell her.

She was practically set to sit on the floor at Gabriel's feet, in the Unsinkable Molly Brown's room, ready to hear things first hand. She knew it had to be traumatizing. But he lived through it, of course. But if Gabriel didn't want to talk about it. Heather wasn't about to pick at the Archangel.

Somehow Robin was convinced Gabriel was doing that on purpose. As if he wanted to make them wait that much longer, just to get to him. "Of course he's seen it, he's probably seen most of everything." He bit back his impatience, putting on an amused look at Heather's expression when she grabbed his shirt, turning back to face her.

"And now you're here Wouldn't you rather see it for yourself than listen to someone else talk about it? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity."

"Yes. I was on the ship and yes I can answer anything you want to know except for the things I don't want to talk about which is kinda a lot. Still, feel free to have a try. Some of it I can talk on for hours. You should have tried the custard" He didn't move any further into the room. He wasn't feeling nostalgic.

Gabriel noticed Robin tension. He didn't comment on it. Robin knew he was tense and he knew why. He didn't need to be drawing attention to the fact that he knew Robin was tense. He waited calmly for Heather's answer and hoped she went with cars.

Robin did have a point. Wasn't Gabriel older than humanity? But still... She glanced back and forth between Gabriel and Robin. A simple question... Maybe... "Was there any truth to that lame movie? At all? You know besides the sinking part..." Okay so maybe secretly she didn't think it was sooo lame. But she wasn't going to let onto that. She hoped anyway.

"It's hard to pick what's better, straight from the horses mouth or... the visuals." Heather shrugged at Robin. Though she did't wanna grill Gabriel either, knowing he had to know some of the people. And no doubt there had been some really good people lost. But then she wasn't going to try to be the pain in the ass she was with Robin, and pick his brain til he spilled.

He could sense something was going on with Gabriel. Did he know? Could he see more than he let on? He was having more and more trouble acting as though he was the person he had inhabited. Their friend, this Robin. Cas had almost caught on for a moment or two there. Had seemed to figure him out. But he'd managed to reassure him that he was this Robin, and not William Murdoch, First Officer. But then this was a stubborn one. As choices go, it was a good one. Lots of power here. But he kept trying to fix things. Kept trying to tell them, and stop them. He had to act quickly.

"Gabriel will always be here to ask. Who knows how long the ship will be." And if that wasn't a winning argument, what was? He had her now, he was sure of it. Forget the angel, he'd deal with him later.

As he walked further down the hall, and got to the doorway, ready to enter the captains cabin, his hand, or more accurately Robins hand, shot out, grabbing the door frame so suddenly he had to stop so he didn't jerk forward ridiculously. Making a fist, he lowered it to his side again. He really had to act quickly.

"Yes. There was some." He answered but didn't invite more conversation. Now here and now. Maybe later. Back home. Then he could talk.

He watched Robin argue against him answering. He decided to play along. He reached for Heather's hand. "You know, they got Mr Andrews in the film. He was a nice man. And it wasn't his fault as it turned out." He nodded knowingly.

His eyes spent most of their time on Robin, though. He watched him at the captain's door. He tilted his head.
"Why don't you get the log and bring it to the storage deck? We can see the cars and look at the log in comfort?

She let Gabriel take her hand, she squeezed it lightly when he did. "He was one of the designers wasn't he?" She knew Thomas Andrews went down with the ship, just like the Captain.

"Oh gosh, I don't think anyone could say it was his fault, he did intend for there to be more than enough life boats. And who could predict that it would hit an iceberg?" Though after she'd said it Heather realized that maybe the Archangel had known, maybe that was why he was on the ship. No doubt it had to have been a hard thing to live through. For just a moment her chin quivered for her friend. Stepping a little closer she leaned her head against his shoulder turning her face into it just enough to place a little kiss against the fabric. "I wont ask anymore."

Her eyes moved to Robin. "Hey that's a good idea. A good compromise, don't ya think? And you can sit behind the wheels of one of those old cars and I can see which one fits you best." Heather wouldn't dare take one of the ships cars, but she'd make Robin one while she still could. Maybe with Gibbs' help.

The angel was grating on his nerves. Something would have to be done about him. He was going to have to decide what to do about this, and quickly. He suspected Heather was going to agree to Gabriel's idea of a compromise. He held back his own comments on Andrews. Robin wasn't supposed to know about him, after all. Not really.

Maybe with the power in this one he could deal with Gabriel. He was sure, if he could figure out how to tap in to it, he could manage something. For now, though, it seemed he would have to be patient, and bide his time for his Captain. Surely he would understand.

With a careless shrug, he moved away from the door again. "Since it's two against one," he offered a smile. "I can be charitable." He moved back down the short distance to join them. Let the angels suspicions try and work out this one.

He'd bring them back by force if he had to.

Robin squeezed Heather's hand for a moment. "Thanks," he said softly. "Maybe that's one for a rainy night." He released her hand. "And the ship, as designed, could have survived if they'd- for another time." He grinned, turning his attention to Gabriel.

You're quite the actor. "How diplomatic of you. Never wanted anything more, really, that to sit in a sexy car and read a ships log." It was hard to tell if he was being serious. "So... aren't you going to bring it? I'm sure the captain won't mind. You know, seeing as he's not here." The angel's green eyes were as sharp as ever. Gabriel didn't know just what was going on but the rules were starting to make sense.

Heather was tempted to supply her favorite line, something he said to Lucifer, something about a great big bag of dicks... But she didn't. "Another time." She knew she'd been harder on Robin, to get him to spill his beans, but Gabriel wasn't Robin. And she was still trying not to be a pain in the ass like she had been. She wasn't sure the subject of the Titanic would ever come up again. But it would be marked down for later consumption.

She glanced between The Archangel and Robin. Heather was naive, she knew she was. But she wasn't completely blind. Something was up. "Hey maybe he has a journal to go along with it?" Sure he logged everything, but maybe there were things left out of the log and put in a private diary. Wouldn't that be cool? Anything to keep a confrontation from happening between the two.

"What else would I be, besides diplomatic?" He replied smoothly, as he paused at Heather's side. "No, that's okay," he answered his question. "Let's see Heather's cars first. There'll be plenty of time for reading later."

And now, it seemed, Heather was catching on. Why did the people he'd chosen, the friends, have to be the nosy ones, the ones who had to question everything? Why couldn't some mindless idiot come with him? He should have picked that other friend, the singing one. Much.

But for now, with these two, it was time for a different tactic. Murdoch had never been a patient man. Before either of them could say another word, he grabbed Heather's arm, twisting it up behind her back, at the same moment pulling Robin's dagger from his belt, and holding it to her throat, placing her between him and the angel. He suspected Gabriel's powers would prove futile against the captain anyway. Besides, he wouldn't risk both his friends.

"You're too clever for your own good, angel." His voice had gone cold. And unlike Robin's usually distinctly English accent, it had taken on the subtlest hint of Murdoch's own Scottish. "Now we're all going in there. Together."

Gabriel was not surprised at Robin's move simply because he knew it wasn't Robin's move. He stayed calm, on the outside.

"I know you're not Smith so... which one are- Hmm. Scottish... Hello Will. Been a while. You're not gonna hurt her. She's no use to your Captain dead." As he talked Gabriel extended his Grace. To no avail. That was... concerning.

"And anyway," he said for Heather's benefit. "You hurt her and I'll just put her together again." At best he could achieve a stalemate. He thought of Robin and what could be done from inside him. He couldn't be cavalier. "He is there Will? Captain Smith?"

Heather yelped when he first grabbed her, surprised that he'd jump to violence already. But she only gave herself a moment. When Gabriel identified who was inside she all but growled. Instead of being scared, something she didn't do in a crisis, she got pissed. "Murdoch, you big bag of dicks, you better be glad your dead cause if you weren't I'd kick your ass up and down this damn ship."

She would have stomped his foot if he didn't have the dagger to her throat. Her eyes caught Gabriel's. Nope not an ounce of fear in those baby blues. She knew the staff, the people who died and the survivors, because of all the research she'd done, it was years ago, but you just didn't forget stuff like that. She thought of something that might work. "Hey... Robin, I know you can hear me. You gonna let this asshole hurt me, and your niece?"

It was an attempt distract at least, as she squirmed a little. She felt the blade bite into her skin a little, cutting a little, drawing just a smidge of blood. But it didn't keep her from wiggling the salt from her pocket, with the bottle of holy water. She was in no position to use it, so she let it roll down her foot toward Gabriel. Tossing the water toward his foot.

"Not long enough," was the reply to Gabriel's statement. He remembered him well enough. Had never liked his attitude much. "I'm not going to hurt her?" He repeated the angels statement innocently, as a question.

"Really? As far as I was aware there is a difference between hurt, and dead. But don't worry. You two are going to have all the time together in the world. And your friends, once they get here. Robin here's already convinced his dear wife to come along. To celebrate his birthday on the ship, of all things."

He laughed delightedly, usually a warm sound coming from Robin, but now more than a little disturbing, at what Heather said. He leaned in close, mouth by her ear to speak, though his eyes remained fixed on Gabriel. "I'm sorry, Heather. Robin can't come out to play."

	"So," said Gabriel, voice cold. "What if I just let you take her?" He left the water where he was. "I mean it's her or everyone, right? What if I just walk away and make sure you don't get anyone else? What happens then?" Gabriel left the water at his feet. Didn't even look at it. The archangel's eyes were dead cold.

"Shit," Robin's birthday. Of course that wasn't the center of her attention at the moment, but it was in there. If Murdoch wasn't a demon the water wouldn't work anyway, would it? The salt, which rolled up against one wall, might... But at the moment neither the salt nor the water were on her mind.

No... She had the feeling of being thrown under the bus. But... It was all for one right? She could handle that. Though... technically it was two for the rest of the resort. Still, something she could deal with. "He can't get anyone else, Gabriel. Robin wouldn't let it happen. Because if there's one thing I know about my big bother... Is he's stronger than some long dead jackass."

Her eyes cut back to Robin's. "Loser in life and loser in death huh, Murdoch? Still doing the captain's shit work. Do you wipe his ass too? See... Robin's not a loser, He's not going to let some poor excuse for a man hang out in his body for too long." She snorted. "Especially the dumb ass that managed to sink the unsinkable ship." Why was she trying to piss the ghost off? Well... She wasn't quite sure. Maybe to distract it from the Archangel for a minute or two.

"Though... I will tell you one thing... One little secret." she dropped her voice down to a pissed off whisper. "If you do manage to keep me, I'll make the rest of your afterlife a living hell. Cause DiNozzos don't go down without a fight. And we sure as hell don't stay down." Yeah she was including Audrey in the plan.

"Just her?" He chuckled again. "Oh, but it won't just be her, will it angel? It will be this one too. And there's a lot of power in this one. I can feel it."

He smiled at Heather, then gave her a mock pout. "Oh, did we forget our brothers birthday? So very sad." That was the least of their worries right now. When she mentioned him sinking the unsinkable ship, he yanked that arm twisted behind her back just a little bit higher. "That wasn't my doing!" The words were short, eyes blazing for a moment in pure anger.

And then just as quickly, he was calm again. "And as for Robin...well, he doesn't have much say in the matter. If you'd like, I'll just kill them both now and be done with it, Gabriel. What do you say? Willing to sacrifice these two...no, three, isn't it? To save the rest. Smith will accept, if he gets this one."

"Really, that's a poor offering for your captain, isn't it? A slip of a girl? Even a feisty one? But, Murdoch, don't you know what I am? You could drag her off and I could walk away. What will you have given him? Two. But two aren't enough. You need others to come, right? He's hungry, your captain.

You keep her and what? They're already getting suspicious. If we don't go back they're going to figure it out." Of course, he knew they were dumb enough to come trooping over. They were probably already rowing across the lake. Dumbasses. But did Murdoch know that?

"I didn't forget his birthday you dick. You're occupying his body. On his birthday." Heather didn't yelp, not this time, but she did grit her teeth. If she could help it she wouldn't give him the satisfaction of making a sound when he hurt her. "You're kidding me right? Just like you didn't run the Olympic into the HMS Hawke? And you didn't shoot yourself in the head cause you knew your career was over even if you did survive the Titanic." She wasn't sure what Gabriel was trying, but she figured she'd piss Murdoch off enough into making some sort of mistake.

Gabriel's point, that they'd figure something was up drew her attention back to him. Shit. She'd have to send out a message as soon as she could. Let Tony and Cas know it was a trap.

"Don't tell me what I need, angel. Your powers are useless here." His Captain would be pleased with his efforts. "Oh, I know they're coming. They're all going to come. They all want to be heroes and save their friends. This one would do anything to save the two of you. He wants so badly to try." He might have talked lightly of it, but he had to act.

He smiled at Heather again, a sly grin. "Such language Heather. Your petty little insults are rather entertaining you know." Pulling her back with him, he started walking backward, towards the room. "You come with me now, angel. Or you go back and warn all your friends. Either way, we win. You can stay on the ship, or lose these two. The choice is yours." His steps continued taking he and Heather backward, his grip on her arm strong.
