Supernatural One-Shots and Short Stories

Another French Mistake Pt.3

Castiel seemed to take pity on me and crouched down to my level.

"What happened? When did this start?" He asked and I told him everything, I didn't care if he knew I was from the alternative reality, I just wanted to know what was happening. He nodded and frowned at me

"Sam is still at your motel, He is currently interrogating Balthazar about what he has done." I looked at Cass and he looked at me "I have no where to go, I can't go back to my own reality. And I don't know if my boyfriend has similar side effects to me. I hope he doesn't..." Cass nodded and helped me stand up.

"I'm going to drop you off with Dean, tell him I'll explain later. I'm going to collect Sam and your things. Please don't do anything foolish." He touched two fingers to my forehead and I popped up right in front of Dean about to lay a stranger

"Oh my god!!" I cried covering my eyes and turning around "Who the fuck is she?!" Demanded the woman and Dean looked at me like I had snakes for arms. "I can explain! Just please put some pants on or something?!" I begged

After the woman left I explained to Dean why I had appeared at such an awkward moment.

"I promise I'll make it up to you! I had no idea, I'm sure Cass had no idea, and I'm scarred for life now and-." Dean cut me off "Whoa! Slow down sweet cheeks! First off, yes you do owe me, second I'm sure Cass didn't mean to make you pop up at such an, um," he cleared his throat "Inopportune time, and third if there is something given you some kinda magic mojo you came to the right people, alright?" I nodded and heard the door burst open

"Dean?" Came Sam's voice and I felt his eyes on me "Maria, right?" He asked and I nodded avoiding looking at him. "When I first met you, you weren't naked were you?" He asked and I shook my head, blushing with shame. "I was hiding my files..." I said ashamedly "Which files?" He asked and I sighed.

"One of Bobby's files, and basically a cliff notes version of everything you encountered before you met Cass..." I said blushing deeply in humiliation.

"Oh god I sound like Becky..." I hissed and I felt a hand on my shoulder "Trust me, if you sounded like Becky you would not be here!" I nodded taking a few deep breaths. "You said your boyfriend was going to hurt you last night, why?" Asked Sam and I avoided his eyes looking anywhere but at Sam or Dean

"He, he um... he liked to hit me sometimes, when he was drunk or had a bad day... he rushed the relationship... last night I was leaving him, and he came home early so I jumped out the second floor window and ran into Balthazar as I was turning the corner on my block. The rest is obvious..." Dean grabbed my hand and looked at me closely

"If it's so bad that you jump out a second story window, it shouldn't have gotten that bad!" He said and I nodded "I know, I was just so scared! monsters I can handle, I'm not scared of something trying to eat me until it's already going at it, but people? Sometimes they're the real monsters..."

Dean nodded in agreement and I finally looked up at Sam "I'm sorry for lying to you Sam, I was a little preoccupied at the time. You know, trying not to completely have a panic attack..." Sam smiles at me

"You're fine, really! When Dean and I were in your world, we were a little freaked too, trust me!" I nodded "Yeah, but I have magical powers and you didn't. I'm really confused and I'm concerned."

"Don't be darling, your not dying." I jumped out of my seat when Crowley appeared behind me "Jesus H. Christ!" I shouted and Dean glared at the self proclaimed "king" of hell "What do you know?" He asked and Crowley shook his head

"I never give my secrets without a fair trade." He smiled

"Bullshit!" Dean and I said in unison and Crowley frowned "This one I want something! Or else you get nothing!" I groaned in annoyance

"What could you possibly want that I could possibly give you?!" I demanded and he smirked at me "I can think of a few things dear, most of them not even M rated." He winked and I felt like I was going to throw up.

"Okay, before three out of four of us puke, what do you want specifically?" Dean asked standing up to glare at the demon "I want her blood, just a drop. Nothing more." I looked at him disgusted

"No, nuh uh! Nope! My blood is staying in my body! You get nothing! You do not pass "GO", you do not collect $200! NO!" I crossed my arms and turned my back on Crowley. I was not about to let a demon have any part of me in any way, shape, or form!

"Okay, guess you don't want to hear the entire prophecy about you and your little magical adventures..." he said and I turned in curiosity "No! If she doesn't want to give out her blood you can't make her do it!" Said Sam and Dean nodded

"Sammy's right, buzz off, whatever information you've got it ain't worth jack shit!" I felt a little comforted that Sam and Dean were standing up for me, then again, if I really did want to know what was going on, it's either Crowley, who I would trust as far as I could throw, or use my own resources. Might take longer but would probably be more accurate...

"Look, I'm not gonna give you my blood, not even if it means you could possibly tell me the truth and let me figure out what's going on. I feel like it would be more beneficial, and accurate, if I just hunker down and study my ass off on this deal alright?" I said with more confidence than I currently felt at that moment.

"Maria, how can you study something you don't even know?" Asked Crowley slyly and I smirked at him "I use context clues moron!" His smirk dropped and I felt a little pride at wiping a smug grin off of the face of the king of hell.

"So, taking from what I know, I can use telekinesis and teleportation, but I'm neither demon nor angel, I'm not dead either so we can rule out burning my bones." I said pacing "Maybe if I did a few controlled experiments..." I said quietly

"Well, it seems she's set her mind to something, even I can see she won't be swayed. She's got a stubborn streak, I can sense it." Crowley said and I looked up at him "Yeah thanks for unhelpfully dropping by!" I smiled then went back to pacing,

"So, maybe I can..." I stopped pacing and focused on a book laying on one of the night stands and snapped my fingers. The book shot towards my hand and I ducked as it slammed into the wall behind me.

"Okay... apparently that's a 'yes I can do that, but probably shouldn't'" I said and I saw Sam and Dean staring at me "What?" Dean looked me up and down "What the hell are we supposed to do with you?!" He said and I shrugged "Hey I just got here like twenty minutes ago!" Sam walked towards me

"Are you feeling like you should be standing up right now?" He asked concern in his voice and I looked at him "I'm fine, I feel more confused and driven than anything else. I have to figure out what I am here so..." I shrugged and smiled at him. I saw some kind of look in his eyes bordering on 'God she's cute!' while Dean stared at me like I was the next playboy bunny.

"Well, I guess we should help, you can't solve this mystery by yourself. You may have seen us in action, but you haven't seen us in action." He winked and I blushed a little "Okay, Let's solve The Mystery of the Reality Jumping Magical Girl!" I said and both of the guys chuckled at me attempt at being inspiring. "Let's just solve the case..." I said and they nodded "You got it," Sam smirked at me "Magical Girl." I punched his arm playfully and he laughed.

"Come on you two let's get down to research!" Said Dean clapping his hands together and both Sam and I nodded hunkering down for some long hours of research.
