"Yeah? And who else has that power?" Gabriel lifted his eyebrows at his brother, but then waved a hand as if to do away with the subject. "So, forget the who, just deal with the how, the why and the getting out of here, huh?" It made sense. It was practical, removed one consideration, and yet ... Gabriel huffed, half a sigh and half a deprecating laugh. "I can't do that."

He'd spent too long just 'leaving things be'. He'd only just stepped out of that mentality, and he still didn't quite know at what cost (even if that cost wasn't the world). There was no way he could step, willingly, back into it. If it was Dad behind this, he had to know why--why He'd left, why He was subjecting Gabriel to this now after years of nothing.
