A/N: So not much to know here...
Dean's been out of Purgatory a few months.
Bobby didn't die after Dick Roman shot him. Sheriff Mills helped him establish a new 'home base' at the cabin in Whitefish, Montana while she helped him recover. She lives there with him now.
Sam hunted while Dean was gone, mostly alone. No one knew where Dean was, but Sam never gave up home of seeing his brother again.
Cas is still gone.
Crowley still has Kevin Tran.
The Charmed Ones defeated the Avatars a few months ago...
Just consider the two worlds of SPN and Charmed have been going on simultaneously up to this point, even though the shows weren't running that way in terms on when they aired. Rather than make the Winchesters fight demons in the past, I pulled the Charmed sisters forward, so the year is 2013. No more flip-phones for the Power of Three; they get smart phones now...
Please read and let me know what you think.
"I don't like it. It's unnatural - they should be on our goddamned gank list." Dean growled as he slammed the Impala into park in front of the large home.
"Dean - Bobby trusts them. He says he's known the family back to their grandmother. They are GOOD witches." Sam sighed. "I said I'd call to tell him we're here."
Dean grabbed Sam's phone and put it on speaker. Before Bobby got out 'Hello' Dean blurted "Are we really NOT gonna kill 'em?"
"Calm down, boy!" Bobby snapped. "You idjits'll see that even though they're human, they have a way 'a livin' through some pretty tough shit, just like you two chuckleheads... Now, you should know a few things about 'em…"
"Like…?" Sam asked. Bobby told them of the oldest sister, Pru; a demon had killed her a few years before. Then he said they need to understand that the girls have power "real magic power, not some hoodoo or evil shit granted by a demon. This is genetic. Piper can blow things up and freeze them."
"Like, into ice?" asked Dean. "No, ya idjit – she can sort-of stop time on a person - so you can't move; or throw something at her and she can stop it in mid-air." Bobby told them about how Phoebe can get premonitions, levitate, and she's an empath, "so she will sense your feelings and you can't really lie to her."
"Great" Sam huffed "she'll see through all Dean's bullshit!"
Dean groaned… "What about the last one? What's her freaky-witch mojo?"
"Paige is a half-sister and she's half… white-lighter. It's kinda 'angel-adjacent'. They watch out for good witches and other people – she'll call 'em her 'charges'" Bobby explained that she can move things from here to there by calling to them and that she will come and go in bright shiny lights.
He also told them Piper married a white-lighter, but he's human now… They know of a lot of good magical creatures too; not all fairies were bad, same with leprechauns, elves and ogres. Dean growled and Bobby quickly added "and yep, unicorns're real."
"No Way!" was replied in unison.
Three faces were looking down from the uppermost attic window of a large red home, staring apprehensively at the classic black car parked out front.
"They're just sitting there... I bet they're planning how to best storm into the manor and kill some witches?" Piper huffed.
"Piper" Phoebe chastised her sister. "I think they're on the phone"
"You can see that from here?" Paige asked.
"No… I can sense they're nervous and one is really irritated; I think maybe they're talking to Bobby."
"Paige, I still don't see why you have to be their white-lighter... Couldn't the Elders just send them someone who wasn't also a witch?" Piper demanded. Without turning from the window, she shouted "Leo!"
"I'm right here…" He said calmly as he walked in.
She turned and walked into her husband's arms "What if they decide we're not good enough witches and go after us, or the boys?"
Leo hugged her. "Piper, you don't need to worry about that. It has been foreseen that the Winchesters and Halliwells will work together to defeat much evil." Before she could give the 'prophecies aren't 100% right' argument, he added "you guys can handle yourselves and Wyatt has his protection shield for him and Chris."
"You need to understand what they hunt, though." Leo asked for all three sister to listen as he explained that yes, the Winchesters hunt things like werewolves, vampires and ghosts... But, they also kill demons. Not the kind the sisters are used to; the boys' type of demon overtakes a person and uses them, the 'nice' word is vessel, but they should get used to hearing "meat-suit"... Leo told the girls that sometimes hunters have to kill the vessel to stop the demon.
All three sisters gasped "they KILL INNOCENTS?!"
Piper worried "how can we even let them in here?"
Leo said "The weakest demons they deal with are more than 100 times more powerful than the ones you guys fight, OK? And potions don't kill them; they fight hand-to-hand almost EVERY time. Demons don't just stand around waiting to be exorcised, you know."
"They're finally getting out of the car!" Paige said as she pointed out the window.
"OK, well, now we see if they're here to kill us." Piper said dryly as she turned to the stairs.
The Winchester brothers were not rushing to the house. "Fuck, fuck, fuck… Gonna get fuckin' ganked by fuckin' witches." Dean muttered as he trudged around the Impala. Sam looked at the Manor; sitting on a hill, the steps leading up the porch made it seem like it touched the sky. With its stained glass windows, big wooden doors and welcoming porch, it gave a 'family home' sensation that Sam appreciated and he was sure Dean didn't notice as he muttered about walking to his doom.
Due to Dean's stomping and Sam's intrigue at the manor, Piper beat them to the door, but waited for the knock. Paige and Phoebe sat in the front room. Peeking at them through the curtain, "they are CUTE!" the two said in unison.
With a wry grin Piper said "Well at least you'll die at the hands of cute hunters..." as she gave her sisters a glare that clearly told them to 'shut. up. now.'
"They'll prob'ly kill us the fuckin' minute we get inside" Dean huffed.
"Shhhh!" Sam scolded as he knocked and provided his brother with a scowl Dean had dubbed 'Sammy's bitchface' years ago.
When Piper opened the door, both boys were surprised at how sexy she looked, even though she was just wearing jeans and a sweater. "Please tell me you're NOT the married one!" Dean flirted with his eyebrows and gave her one of his best flirtatious smiles.
Once again, when meeting a beautiful woman, Sam's first words were "Sorry about him." He stepped in front of Dean. "I'm Sam Winchester and this is Dean". He held out his hand and Piper shook it, but he was sure he noticed some hesitation from her.
"It's OK." Piper looked at Dean; her smile turned to a smirk "No such luck" she said, waiving her wedding ring at him. "But let me introduce my sisters; they're sin-"
"They are right here." Paige interrupted, waiving from the sofa. Both boys' heads snapped around and their smiles grew huge. Dean took the lead, and said "Shit, if all witches looked like you, I'd…" He started to say 'not kill 'em' but caught himself and said "…Join a coven." with a wink at the women.
Sam quickly joked "They have standards, Dean; They wouldn't take you."
Phoebe motioned for them to sit opposite them and the brothers obeyed.
Leo walked in with Wyatt and Chris in tow. He introduced himself and the boys. Piper nearly knocked him down while putting the kids on the sofa with their aunts so they would not be close to the hunters. She then offered drinks – Dean was less appreciative when he heard the offerings were iced tea or lemonade, but it had been a long drive and he was thirsty.
There were questions about the drive, where they are from, and other pleasantries but Sam wasn't listening to the small talk. He was looking at Phoebe.. She was so beautiful… 'You mean, she's NOT angel-adjacent? Could have fooled me' He thought. She was wearing a tank top that had purple, blue and green swirls with a tan skirt and a little sweater – it only went on her arms – he was thinking he should know the name of it, but didn't… Suddenly, he realized that not only was he was staring, but she knew he was staring.
He smiled and let her stay uncomfortable for just a moment before saying "Didn't I see you on the side a bus as we drove through town – Ask Phoebe?"
Her eyes lit up "That's me; my job." She made finger quotes when she said job and followed it with "you know, my 'non-magical' job."
Dean's complaining about the lack of classic rock radio stations in San Francisco stopped cold… "You have civilian jobs? All of you?"
"Piper owns a nightclub and I'm a columnist for the newspaper. Paige runs Magic School." She could feel Piper's emotion turn to total fear. Phoebe had just told hunters about Magic School. She smiled at the brothers and said "We'll tell you about that... another time."
Dean sensed something was upsetting Piper and thought 'Fuck – we heard a witch secret and now she's gonna kill us! How do I get my gun before she blows me up with her mind?'
"Ten minutes!" He shouted.
Sam flexed his jaw and gave him a clear 'shutthehellup' look, but Dean continued. "So, all the way here I was bitchin' to Sammy that we wouldn't last five minutes b'fore you ganked us for bein' hunters. I found out you" he pointed at Piper "can blow shit up with a thought, so I reduced that to one minute before we were toast. Now, I see we lasted ten. Does that mean we're in the clear?" He flashed a smile and raised his eyebrows, still very nervous.
Phoebe and Page started to laugh and gave choruses of "I told you so" to Piper.
Piper smiled somewhat embarrassed and said "I've been saying the same thing about you – that we'd let you in and you'd just go into 'kill-the-witch mode' and shoot the place up."
That surprised Dean. He said "But, you can blow people up, right?"
"I can..." She smiled "I would only do that as a last resort– only to protect my family."
"We feel the same about our guns." He smiled at Piper and she smiled back, a genuine look of understanding washed between them. Sam could tell that Piper and Dean were not going straight to a chick-flick moment, but at least they started to feel comfortable…
Dean looked at Phoebe and Paige. "You two weren't worried like Piper?"
"No one worries like Piper!" Page quipped.
Phoebe said "Well, Grams said it would be OK, and there's the prophesy; I believe in it more because of my own premonitions… There is always a little bit of an apprehension when someone finds out about us, but I had faith."
"Just like Sammy… He was tellin' me not to be worried..." Dean's voice trailed off as he looked at Paige. She had gorgeous reddish brown hair. Her skin was like cream and her lips were so full and red. He could already think about tasting them. She was wearing tight jeans and a black top that showed one shoulder; totally hot without looking like she's trying... 'the outfit would look better on the floor of a motel, though.' He snapped back from his thoughts and said "You weren't afraid?"
Paige sat up a bit and said "No, I'm the reason you're here."
"Oh, really? You mean you wanted.." Dean had another thought of Paige in that motel but he could hear Sam saying 'Dude - reality, not porn' in his head "to bring hunters to your door?"
"What did Bobby tell you about me, my powers?" She asked. They relayed Bobby's angel-adjacent line etc., but they admitted they really don't understand what a white-lighter is. She said "I am assigned to take care of different people who need help – from just me, like healing as a white-lighter or backup from the Power of Three."
"Yeah, your 'charges' right? How many do you have?" Dean asked.
"Most white-lighters have lots – dozens - all over the world. Because of my Charmed duties, and expertise... I only have two – you two."
"So you're our… guardian angel?" Sam asked. "Why us?"
"First off, you have a guardian angel already – everyone on earth has one. They keep you from stepping off a curb in front of a bus or helping you avoid a fender bender."
"That's not Cas. He... Well, he's not around anymore..." Dean sighed.
Paige continued "No not like Castiel. He is a heavenly angel and... well, let's just say none of us have ever met one. I was just brought up to speed on all your history - apocalypse avoiding, purgatory, Heaven, Hell, ugh! And I thought learning about magic and fighting in the underworld was bad."
"Underworld?" They asked in unison and Dean followed up with "You've been in Hell?"
The brothers faces showed they clearly had a lot of questions.
"The Underworld is not Hell, exactly... I'm getting ahead of myself. We protect people from totally different 'monsters' – the magical ones. Later I will go into detail about the underworld, magical demons and creatures and how we've also saved the world a few times… but for now, just know that our two worlds are colliding and we're gonna be working together - forever"
Just then an energy ball came flying through the room and a lamp exploded.
