Gabriel pushes himself up with a great amount of difficulty. As he gets to his knees, he notices the scattered feathers around him and curses, stopping to pick them up and shove them into his inside jacket pocket. They could be used against him, and especially here. Finally, he stands, limbs protesting against the effort as he straightens himself up and faces the hallway that will take him to his brother.

This time, he won't be quick or smart enough to evade him. He knows this, but he starts walking anyway. "Stay here. Or get out, if you can." he says to Topher, heading towards the nearest hallway. He can already smell the blood. A few steps later, he's see's the first body part. Odin, he thinks. He remembers the fingers, square and callused over the years, because Odin had liked to see the result of his hard work rather than magic it away. The entire hallway it covered in blood, but he keeps walking through it anyway.

He wonders if Kali came to the meeting, if her remains are here among the rest, and the thought makes his stomach roil in protest. This isn't what should have happened. He should have been able to prevent this.
