Shimmering blue blanketed the underground city as the light reflected off the sapphires in the ceiling. It cast its eerie glow, almost mimicking the effect of light on water without the sort of freeing peace one might feel with the soft ocean waves. Figuring out how deep down the city was located was near impossible when the air was obviously heated to something approaching comfortable, and nothing seemed to echo too far past the quiet hum of the city.

Workers made their way down the street, every one with a Sleeper in tow. Something that would have been unheard of only a few days ago, now more likely than one would think. They intended to start slow, but considering how many others were still in cryo, this was a laidback pace.

Aha. Gabriel snapped his fingers at the man in a 'called it' sort of way. "Knew it. And the not-being-a-goa'uld thing. Who'd want to be? Most of them were all pretty damn boring. I mean, 'Bow before your god or die?' Really? They can't come up with anything more original? Puh-lease."

He oughta know. Sure, he was only a god for a couple thousand years, but he'd spent more than enough time observing the other pagan gods to know that it was possible to be divine and not be boring as Hell.

He shrugged, hands spreading a little and eyebrows lifting innocently. "Just a little attempt to corrupt humanity that failed and resulted in an oddly-shaped but delicious candy snack."

"...I guess? I never really thought about it." Nirrit's offer came to mind but she hadn't wanted to make him a Goa'ould, just something far worse in his opinion. "How do you know all this? Have you worked with the SGC too?" He had a feeling that wasn't the case but he couldn't think of any other reason.

And he decided to leave the jelly baby thing alone. Jonas didn't think he wanted to know anymore.

"Nnnooope." Gabriel shrugged, smiling in that non-innocent way of someone who was most definitely fooling around but not, necessarily, lying. "I saw it all on a TV show."

He seemed to recall there were two shows with similar premises, but only one had actually been any good, while the other had been terrible in a way that would have made him want to inflict it on the Winchesters if he'd only remembered it existed at the time.

"A TV show?" While Jonas knew the basic concept of what that was (he hadn't just watched The Weather Channel no matter what anyone said) he didn't understand how this man would know these things. Except..."You mean Wormhole Extreme?"

"That's the one that only lasted three episodes, isn't it?" Gabriel asked, still with that smile, and shook his head, rocking back and forth on his heels. "Nope, not that one. The other other one."

Jonas could only shrug and shake his head. "I'm afraid I have absolutely not idea what you are talking about then."

"You know." Gabriel gestured with both hands. "The smart-mouthed colonel, the hot blonde scientist chick, the nerdy anthropologist and the stoic alien dude, going where no one--well, no one from Earth, anyway--has gone before! Exploring other planets, through wormholes built by aliens! Fighting the evil glowy-eyed snake-parasites who have a serious need for better scripts."

Now Jonas could only gape. "How...how did you know that?" It sent a shiver down his spine as the man described his recent dream life almost exactly, even if the nerdy anthropologist was Dr. Jackson.

"Saw it on TV." Gabriel grinned at the look on Jonas's face. "Don't remember you, but then again, it wasn't one of my every-days. Pretty sure I preferred to watch something else in the same timeslot."

And it was the truth. He didn't remember this guy at all; mostly what he knew consisted of, well, what he'd said. It was the easiest and most basic stuff to remember.

Jonas didn't take offense to not being remembered, it didn't surprise him really, but that was about the only clear thought he had on the matter. "That was my..." He almost said life but he quickly 'corrected' himself while resisting a quick look around, "dream. How could you have see my dream as a TV show in yours?"

"Eh, it's not that surprising, really," Gabriel said with a dismissive wave. "Universes overlapping, stories repeating and all that. Sometimes it just happens literally with a bit of bleed-through."

Not that Dad's Creation wasn't well-built, because it was, but the war in Heaven had torn some holes in places and ... well, Gabriel could well imagine it was something it would amuse his Father to let happen.
