DISCLAIMER: I do not own Supernatural or PJO/HoO.

Rated T for some mild cursing.

This chapter is a little short, I know and I'm sorry. I promise the next few chapters will be a lot longer but this is just a preview. Let me know if you like it and if you want me to keep going.

After suffering through hours of searching online for odd disappearances and/or murders, Dean leaned back in his chair to look up at the person who had come into the study. His younger brother shook his head with his lips pursed in a mixture of worry and exasperation.

"Did you sleep at all?" the younger man asked.

With his trademark smirk in place and an eyebrow raised, Dean answered, "No time for sleep, Sammy. Besides, I found a lead."

There was an irritated sigh from the doorway before Sam finally gave in and walked to his brother's side. Once Sam was by his side, Dean opened the first of three tabs.

The computer screen showed an online news article with a headline that read "Bizarre Earthquake on Long Island Sound Baffles Scientists."

Sam scoffed as he read the headline. "Yeah, Dean, earthquakes are a definite sign of monsters. Should we go rushing to California every time they have an earthquake?"

Dean just stared at him with barely concealed annoyance as he clicked on the second tab. Another online news article's headline filled the screen along with an image of an explosion in the sky.

"'Huge Explosion Destroys Small Aircraft'," Sam read.

"You gonna tell me that 'small aircraft' isn't a fucking dragon?" Dean replied sarcastically. "This 'aircraft' exploded over Long Island Sound just seconds after the earthquake stopped."

Sam answered hastily, "Okay, okay. Maybe you are on to something."

The last tab opened up to show numerous pictures taken of the explosion, only these showed a large number of kids in battle gear staring up at the explosion in the distance. Surrounding the kids were hundreds of monsters. Of course, if one didn't know what he or she were looking for, the kids and monsters would have easily been overlooked, but not for two experienced hunters.

Silence filled the study as Sam finished examining the photographs over Dean's shoulder. Finally, he broke the silence, "This is definitely something big. I've never seen so many monsters in one place. Hell, I don't even know what half of those monsters are… Is that a cyclops?"

The men were in Dean's black 1967 Chevy Impala, heading to Long Island Sound before noon.

There didn't seem to be an end to the cabins that were spread out at the bottom of the hill. Dean gawked at the sight of what looked like teenagers climbing a rock wall covered in lava.

"How have the hunters not found this place?" he said to his brother who stood beside him, equally shocked.

Before he could respond, the short raven-haired boy, who had saved them from being eaten by a drakon at the top of the hill, turned to look at them incredulously. "You know the Hunters?"

The taller of the two brothers raised an eyebrow as he stared at the small teenager. "Yeah, we're hunters."

The boy looked more than confused as he replied, "I think we're talking about a different kind of hunter. I'm talking about a group that kills magical creatures."

"Yeah, kid," Dean said with exasperation, patience wasn't his strong suit. "We're those kind of hunters."

"'Course you are." The boy rolled his eyes. "We've got some Hunters visiting today, actually. You should definitely meet them and be sure to let them know you're hunters, too. They'd love that."

There was dark glint in the boy's obsidian eyes and an evil looking smirk on his lips that caused both men to grip their guns a little tighter.

I am never letting Dean do research again, Sam thought bitterly as he followed the goth kid.

Alright, that's all for now. I'm sorry for not updating quickly. College prevented me from writing for months and then I started working which is taking up most of my time but I swear I am trying my hardest to update as soon as possible. Please review and I'll be adding the 7th chapter of Guardians Gather whenever I can, hopefully in the near future.
