A quick act of defiance. Descent into Hell. A battle, yes, but who would side with Satan? Michael could destroy him, defeat him again, and suddenly the realm is his. Complete domination, an empire with a new Emperor. And he would be better at it, just as he is a better Second than Lucifer ever was. Hell would see new heights of glory and power with him at the helm.
He could finally have everything he ever wanted.
Michael runs a finger over Gabriel's cheek. "This is what you've wanted, isn't it?" he asks softly, covetously, "The Second of Heaven, First among the Angels, was never enough for you, but the Emperor of Hell... that's what you've wanted all along; selfish of you, but understandable. Are you happy now? Can you be happy, finally? I'd give you anything."
He feels sick to his stomach as he gently places a kiss on Gabriel's nose. Something about this is tainted, twisted, and so very wrong. He feels like he's on the verge of collapsing, like his sanity is held by a frayed string.
