We Fought The Law
Chapter 1
Beginnings
Kalika sat on the moth eaten couch in a drafty warehouse, filing her nails. She had 'summoned' Gab about an hour ago and she was about ready to try again. She was sick of the working by herself. She had lost her little sister to that Demon, someone who was supposed to be on their side had murdered her friend, Scott, she was sick of being sidelined. And to top it off, two of the best were now hiding from the law, had other hunters to worry about, as well as the Demon himself. She had had enough of this.
She brushed her long black hair out of her eyes and glanced at her watch, "Gab you had better hurry or I am…"
There was a gust of wind and suddenly Gab was standing in front of her, "You'll what Kalika?" He asked her as he folded his arms. This could intimidate a lesser person but Kalika was someone not to mess with, and stood up to meet him.
"I'll call your sorry ass again," she replied, as she stood directly in front of him, unflinching. "And please don't try and intimidate me, I'll tell you where to stick it."
Gab smiled at her and uncrossed his arms. Kalika didn't know it but she was the only one that Gab allowed to talk to him like that, and it had nothing to do with her being as strong as she was or the best soldier they had so far. He actually respected her, and coming from him was saying a lot.
"So what do you want Kali?"
"I want to help the Winchester's."
Gab raised an eyebrow, "We've had no intel that they needed your kind of help. You know something we don't?"
Kalika pulled out the Bowie knifed she had strapped to her back, set the hilt of it in her hand and let it spin, she was getting board and needed something to keep her mind occupied, "I always know something you don't. But that's not the point. The point is I am sick of working solo. I've a good friend and my own sister in this, one to a hunter and the other to that SOB. Those guys are in way over their head and NONE of your so called supervisor has lent them a hand."
Gab took the knife spinning in her open palm, "Kali that is not…"
She clenched her fist, "If you say none of my business I am going to loose it. Anything that has to do with this war is my business."
Gab felt the room suddenly get very warm. He sighed, "I was going to say that it's not something you need to worry about. Those boys can handle it."
She turned and strolled to the window looking out over the warehouse district. Nothing but empty storage units, perfect place for this, "Doesn't mean they have to do it alone. It's bullshit that you're making them and you know it. Those two alone have destroyed hundreds of your enemies. Some they've nearly lost their lives too. Now they have to watch their backs from people who should be helping them AND they have the law to worry about. They need help and I want your permission to give it to them." She spun around her normally dark eyes shinning in the moonlight.
Gab looked at her for a second, then crossed to her. "I would need to ask the others."
She huffed, "Then you had better make sure they say yes. Tell them if they don't let me do this, I'm going to switch." Now it was her turn to cross her arms and Gab was intimidated.
"Kali you can't mean that. It's his fault your sister is dead and you're telling me you would willing fight for him?"
Kalika had thought about it and wasn't kidding. She was tired of Gab's 'supervisors' not letting her warn those like her they were in danger. 'It has to be their choice' was always their reason. Well this time she wasn't backing down. If they were stupid enough to tell her no she would help them anyway and tell that SOB that she would fight against them. She was sick of them not doing all they could and she was going to stop it.
"Yea Gab, I can and I will. I am the best you have. My abilities came early, I've mastered them and I have killed and destroyed everything you've sent me after." She was getting pissed now. "I couldn't save my little sister. I stayed on the sideline when you let John make that deal. I stood by when you refused to let me help Scott, and I said nothing when Ava was taken. I am not staying silent any longer. You go and tell them they have until I get off work to let me know." She turned from Gab and headed out the door, but threw back over her shoulder, "Otherwise I'm leaving. Screw them."
Kalika walked out the door leaving Gab standing in silence. She felt the wind pick up and knew he had gone off to give his 'supervisors' her proposition.
"Kali, are you listening?"
Kalika snapped out of her daydream and looked at her co-worker, "I'm sorry Vickie. What did you say?" They were finishing last rounds and Kalika's mind was on Gab.
Vickie sighed and looked at the resident they were helping. "Sorry about her Marge, she's a little bit of a idjet tonight." She looked back at Kalika, "I asked if you could hand me the wipes, Marge is getting cold."
Kalika grabbed the box off the bedside table, opened them and handed the wipes to Vickie, "I may be an idjet but I'm a cute idjet."
Marge laughed at her, "That's good cause with your mind, looks might be all you have to go on."
Kalika and Vickie laughed at that. They finished, said goodnight to Marge and headed back to the nursing station. Kalika got the key for the dirty linen and started helping Vickie empty the barrels they used to put all the trash in.
"You alright Kali? You seem a little distracted. Everything okay?"
No one at work knew what she did on her time off. She had been working PRN at this Long Term Care Faculties for a year. The residents loved her and her co-workers thought she was a little bit prissy but enjoyed her company. Seeing as she was PRN she only needed to pick up three shifts a month. So far it had never interfered with her 'other' job. But if Gab granted her request she would have to leave. Even if he didn't she would have to leave.
"Yea Vick, I'm doing fine. It's just," she sighed, "I gave Gab an ultimatum and he's suppose to get back to me when I get off work."
Vickie nodded, to her Gab was just a boyfriend that Kalika was dating. For a while it was the talk of the Long Term Care Unit, especially when Kalika would show up with bruises and other cuts. She used the excuse that she was in a fight club and couldn't talk about it but she knew most of them thought Gab beat her. If they only knew.
"Good for you girl. We were all wondering when you would give him the boot." Vickie grabbed the keys and unlocked the door. "About time too. You're a bright, strong girl. It always flustered us why you put up with that guy."
Kalika just smiled. She would let the others think what ever they wanted. They finished and were sitting in the break room when the next shift came on. Kalika did a quick walk through with her counter part and clocked out. She waved good-bye and walked out the door. Standing by the lamp was Gab leaning against it smoking.
"You know those will kill you, right Gab?" Kalika joked approaching him. He took another long puff and crushed the cigarette under his boots.
"Then it's a good thing I'm not living." He fell into step with her. She would let him bring it up. "I have to say," he finally said. "You little ultimatum didn't go over well with the big ones. They say you think you're more important then you are. And they were a little pissed at it."
She stopped by her car to unlock it, and then turned to him. "I don't think I'm important. I just know I'm the best and I'm not going to let those 'big ones' take advantage of me. What was the answer?"
Gab looked down at his boots, "They say that if you chose to do this they won't stop you…"
Kalika jumped into his arms hugging him, "Thank you!"
He lightly patted her back, "Umm there is more to that." She stepped back a little worried. "They say they won't stop you as long as you agree to a few conditions. The first is that you can only help them with the legal problems. The second is that you can't use your abilities to help them with it."
Kalika grinned, "Agreed. But I can still help them hunt right?" Gab nodded and Kalika's grin widened. "Perfect!"
