[He had thought the conversation would go down this road and he was prepared for it.]
I don't approve of what you did, Anna and I never will but I won't see you fall into the hands of either of the companies either. While you may not be an angel anymore you do still hear our conversations and it's important that those abilities don't fall in the wrong hands. [Looking straight at her. Yes, this is to protect their secrets and he won't lie about it.]
You're still my sister and I won't see you tortured at the hands of anyone here. [At least if he was going to have her killed it would be a quick death.]
[.. Right. She could still hear them, even if most of the time she just tried to drown them out. It was easier now, with her memories in tact, she knew how to deal with the onslaught of white noise in her mind. But .. SERO and AGI could potentially be a threat, she supposed. Even if they never had been before. -- So it made sense. Michael was keeping their voices safe, their secrets. The phrase of keeping their dirty laundry to themselves crossed her mind, but then, since when did Angels ever care about that anyway?]
Have either companies even shown interest in us? [She's curious, not looking for excuses.]
[Angel Radio wasn't as bad here as it was back home. There were far less angels around to fill the air with chatter. He was sincerely interested in keeping the family safe from those who would experiment on them and if killing them didn't work then protecting was the next thing he would do. As for whatever Anna and possibly Castiel heard he didn't care because they knew better than to go blabbing about it to strangers.]
I can't be sure until I've spoken to the others but if we haven't gotten someone's attention yet then I want to keep it that way.
[She's quiet for a moment, searching her memory for anything that might have even hinted towards celestial interest from either SERO or their rival company. Nothing sprang to mind.]
I assume this protection only counts for outside-the-family threats?
[Just a fact. She knows that the only other angel within the port that might .. have a problem with her, technically, would be Lucifer, but still. She knew full well that her name was on the list. And angels weren't always the most trustworthy.]
[Well. But it's always a thought. Any angel who wasn't Michael- or, to a lesser extent, even Raphael or Gabriel, were scared shitless from Lucifer. Anna was no exception.]
[It was true that Lucifer was frightening to the lesser angels - even those who had become human. If it made her feel better then Michael would protect her from him.]
My protection would cover family threats but Lucifer understands the importance of protecting the family so if you should find yourself in need of help and I'm unavailable he will come to your aid.

You think you need protection from Lucifer?
[Won't she be surprised if she knew that Lucifer had been in this whole "protecting the family" idea with him?]

Not particularly. [Not right now.]
