Sam had found a case in Manhattan, New York about a banshee. People were reportedly found dead with blood coming out of their ears and when the bodies were examined by the forensic Pathologist, the victims brains were gone. At first read through, Sam thought Wraith but when he read the newspaper article again, he realized that the brains were actually missing from the victims heads instead of looking burnt. He quickly went and told his brother about the case and in turn both brothers went to go tell their angelic bunker mates.
Dean went to tell Castiel, the fallen angel who rebelled against Heaven just for the Winchester brothers. Castiel had short jet black hair and ocean blue eyes. The angel always seem to wear a khaki trench coat over a black suit with a white button down and his backwards blue tie.
While Sam went to go speak with Reese, the Nephilim who is the daughter of Gabriel. She looked like her father, with her dirty blonde hair and whiskey colored eyes. Unlike Castiel, Reese wore a dark green denim jacket that belonged to her dad, over a black button down shirt and black jeans. Although, the Winchesters didn't like Gabriel, they had agreed to protect the child since Gabriel sacrificed himself to stop the war in Heaven only to be killed by his brother Lucifer.
After the angelic beings in the bunker were told of the case, the four of them piled into Dean's beloved 1967 Black Chevy Impala. Dean and Sam up front while Castiel and Reese sat in the back seat. Unfortunately for the angelic beings, the drive to Manhattan would take about a day. So, Dean began to play whatever cassette was in the radio and began to drive on the open road towards Manhattan to deal with the Banshee.
Jace POV
"Magnus! Stop ogling Alec's ass and place a magic perimeter around the area!" I exclaimed.
Those two have absolutely no control over themselves when they're together which is very aggravating when you're on a job. I would ask Clary but she just put runes on all of us (minus Magnus) and a magical perimeter rune would tire her out but we need her at full strength in case of an emergency.
"Ok, ok," Magnus lifted his line of sight away from Alec's ass as he walked forward.
"I'm doing it. You're all lucky I'm dating Alec because I would never put up with a jackass like you," Magnus murmured, closing his eyes he chanted quietly under his breath for a couple seconds and poof! Magic perimeter done.
No monsters can get in or out.
"Jace!"
"Magnus!"
Alec and Clary both exclaimed before whacking their significant others upside the head. Clary continued to chastise Jace who had to comply to her demands because Clary's a rather feisty little ginger.
"Do you hear that?" We all turned to around.
"Yeah, sounds like a group of teens, maybe some young adults."
"What would people be doing here?!" A pretty confused girl, it sounded like, reply echoed throughout the room. I grabbed my sword as did Clary while the rest of the gang readied their respective weapons.
"It's silent now, brace yourselves." We all turned heads to the door of the warehouse. We were in the dead center of the warehouse to set up the perimeter so whoever was in here currently either followed us or are extremely stupid.
*creak*
The door slowly opened to reveal a group of 4 people, weapons in hand.
"What's with monsters and warehouses? Seriously, why don't they ever hide somewhere nice?" Reese asked aloud.
"Well, warehouses are usually abandoned so it would mean that no one would bother them while they did their business" Castiel answered.
"It's gone quiet" Dean said quietly.
"Maybe their voices have but not their thoughts. Its all so loud. They're in the center of the warehouse and are wondering how we got in here" Reese tells the Winchester brothers and Castiel.
The brothers held on tighter to their guns as they moved forward, heading towards the center of the warehouse and came across the group young adults standing there. Noticing their weapons, Sam and Dean raised their own.
"What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. Its dangerous for you to be here" Dean tells the group of people.
Castiel flicked his wrist which caused his angel blade to slide out of his sleeve of his trench coat where he always kept it. Reese, noticing that everyone had their weapons out had backed away slowly. Being a Nephilim made her powerful but being a Nephilim whose father was an archangel made her even powerful than normal angels. She didn't want to accidentally kill anyone but was ready to heal anyone if need be.
"Who are you people?" Dean asked the group of young adults.
"What do mean who are we? Who in Raziel's name are you?!" Izzy saunters forward in her "I'm sexy but I'll kill you walk", holding her whip out in an intimidating manner before continuing, "you should not be here!" She mumbles, narrowing her eyes. I watch Simon step farther back, holding an arrow tightly in his hand. Alec did the same.
Oh, formation Castle.
Clary and I step in our respective positions behind Izzy but to the sides a bit. A triangle almost until Magnus takes his place diagonal of Clary and I, making a diamond.
Two archers in the back, healer/ultra defense behind warriors but in front of archers to heal defenses but be defensive at the same time. And of course, Clary vouched for Izzy to be in front of our formation because she is apparently very good at seducing our enemies. Simon, Alec and I were not happy with such knowledge but we gotta do what we gotta do.
"Is that an Angel?" Clary inquires in fascination. I look over at her, raising an eyebrow in question.
"His eyes are so-"
"Dreamy, dreamy is the word for those marvelous eyes," Magnus cuts her off with the most awestruck tone of voice.
"Excuse you?!" Alec exclaims.
"Sorry, Darling. Your eyes will forever hold mine for they are so marvelous but damn!" Magnus can only smile at the end of his sentence. He knew he was making his boyfriend jealous.
Reese walked forward till she was standing beside Castiel when she noticed the other group had moved into formation. She didn't want to hurt anyone but if someone was going to threaten her family, she wasn't just going to stand around. Castiel narrowed his eyes and tilted his head at the compliment then the argument.
"Hey! Don't look at him, look at us" Dean snapped when Castiel was complimented.
Sam just rolled his eyes. Why couldn't his brother just ask their angel friend out already.
"Yes, I am an angel…what do you know of Raziel?" Castiel inquired.
Reese kept her focus on the brunette in front, if she knew about Raziel then she must know of the things that go bump in the night like the Winchesters did.
She tilted her head a little, "What's a Shadowhunter?" she asks curiously, having heard their thoughts.
"Raziel? Oh please, he's a pain in my ass!" I snorted, I could feel Clary's glare before I even looked at her. I met her eyes and the words were so easily portrayed, shut up.
"Ignore him, I am Isabel and this is Clary," Clary nodded and stood next to Izzy.
"Raziel is one of the most important angels to shadowhunters. Now, to answer your other question you must answer ours. Who are you?" Clary reasoned. She was one of our most diplomatic people in our group.
I was not the best person is these situations since I'm apparently a jackass so I'm not allowed to talk. Clary will punish me if do. And not that kinky kind of punishment I mean actual punishment. Whether it's making me train for eight hours straight with five minute breaks every hour and a half or no training for a week. They both suck.
Dean and Sam looked at each other, having their famous silent conversation just by looking into each other's eyes. When they came to their decision they looked to Castiel, if their angelic friend didn't trust the group before them then they wouldn't answer any questions. Castiel stared down the group of young adults in front of the Winchesters before looking at Dean, his eyes portraying his consent.
"I'm Dean, and this is my brother Sam" Dean answered, looking back at the red head.
Reese remained next to Castiel but was now holding a lollipop between her forefinger and thumb. She was much like her father in the sense that she also had his undeniable taste for sweets and was able to conjure whatever sweet she wanted. Actually, its where she got her name from. Her father loved sweets so much that he named her after one. Reese stuck her lollipop in her mouth as she examined Clary, Izzy and company.
"Its cute that you think your Warlock is your ultra defense against us." Reese spoke before looking down when Dean glared at her.
She was still trying to get used to her abilities so she would accidentally read people's minds without their consent.
Clary's mouth opened ever so slightly before she recomposed herself to a more regal and serious composure.
"Our warlock is not a person you must know currently. We are here on," Clary met Izzy's eyes with the slightest nod," business. You would be here on what measures exactly?"
I could see Clary and Izzy relax. So these people don't seem like formidable opponents or we can escape easily if we need to.
The Winchesters didn't get a chance to respond because the lights in the warehouse began to flicker madly.
"Winchesters" a voice said from behind.
Sam and Dean spun around, guns up and aimed at the new comer. All they had to do was breathe in and they could immediately tell that the new visitor was demon judging by the smell of sulfur.
"Some random demon" Dean said.
"I'm here for the abomination" the demon hissed, glaring at Reese.
Reese who was still looking down, flinched at the word. She knew Nephilims weren't allowed to exist because they were forbidden.
"You shouldn't have come alone then. We won't let you take her" Dean said, moving closer towards the demon and standing in front of Reese.
"I didn't come alone" the demon says before more joined him.
Sam moved to stand next to his brother, gun still raised while Castiel moved in front of Reese in a guarding manner. Although the Winchesters didn't like Gabriel, his daughter was now apart of their family and no body messes with their family.
"You can't have Reese!" Castiel said.
"Feathers" the demon acknowledge the fallen angel.
Everything was silent as the demons and hunters/angel stared each other down, waiting for someone to make the first move. No body had to wait long as a demon proceeded forward heading towards Reese when Dean shot it. The fight broke out, demons fighting the hunters and angel friend while the Winchesters tried to protect Reese.
Reese walked backwards from the fight, not wanting to get caught up in it and accidentally hurt anyone when she accidentally bumped into someone. Gasping quietly, she turned around to look up a blonde boy who had been standing across from Clary in their formation. She was quick to back away from him when he looked down at her.
"Wait here, kiddo." I spoke as gently as I could. This kid looked pretty scared and there was no need to scare her more. I swung my angelic sword in front of me, arching straight through the demons torso, killing it on the spot.
"Why do these*swing*demons*jab*want you?" I managed to grunt out as I stabbed the oncoming demons.
"I'm a Nephilim," The girl spoke quietly, almost ashamed. "I'm not supposed to be here." My surprise didn't last very long for these demons were extremely weak but there was an absurd amount of them.
"Don't worry, Reese. It'll be just fine," Magnus spoke ever so calmly like he does. "I've heard of you and the Winchesters from fellow warlocks at parties." Magnus held his arms out I could see the slightest tint of purple surround him and Reese.
"Jace, get your butt over here!" Clary yelled from the other side of the room. I nodded my head before rushing to my Angel's side.
"Well, when you stick with the Winchesters….everyone seems to know who you are. They've gone through so much together and will search the ends of the Earth if someone they care about goes missing" Reese tells Magnus.
She remained next to the warlock as she watched the fight go on….all because of her. She knew that Heaven and Hell were both after her since she was forbidden and so are other supernatural creatures because who wouldn't want a Nephilim on their side.
"I don't get why you risk your lives to protect the abomination" a demon spoke loud enough for everyone to hear.
"It's not like her father would have been able to raise her if he was still alive. Gabriel couldn't even stand his family fighting and fled." another demon spoke.
Reese disappeared from Magnus' side at that, "Threaten my family, fine. But don't you dare talk about my father like that" she says.
Her eyes turned golden and on the wall behind her, a shadow of her wings unfolding and spreading out could be seen to the human eye. She held out her hands and the ground began to shake wildly. At her power demonstration, the demons fled but one who was about to attack Castiel. Reese was quick to teleport beside the angel and held his hand. Castiel's neck turned a slight gold and his eyes became his blueish-whiteish color when he used his grace before it turned gold to match the eyes of the Nephilim beside him.
Just as the demon's hand came down to strike the angel, Castiel grabbed its wrist. Staring at the demon, its wrist soon burst into flames and it wasn't long before the demon was turned to ash. With the threat neutralized, Reese had let go of Castiel's hand and her eyes returned to her normal color. She looked around at everyone before everything became dark and she collapsed. Luckily, Castiel was able to catch her.
"That was so cool!" Simon jumped over the remains of demons to rush over to Castiel. "You're an angel! Izzy, is he like one of our great great great grandads or something?" Simon inquired, his whole face lit with this so called Geekyness. That's was Clary said at least.
Izzy sighed, her whip cooking around her wrist as she walked to stand behind Clary. "No, Simon. Remember it was Gabriel and Raziel that created us, not this angel."
I was rather more focused on the child, Reese apparently, whom had passed out. I grabbed my stele from my jeans pocket as I walked towards her. I kneeled down to press said stele to her arm but I felt a sudden yank on the back of my shirt and I was at least three feet away from the kid.
Dean's older brother instincts kicked in when he saw one of the Shadowhunters were making his way towards Reese. He grabbed the back of Jace's shirt and yanked him away from the young girl.
"Don't touch her, you stay away from her" Dean growled out.
Castiel moved one of his arms out from under Reese and placed two fingers against her forehead. He looked down at her as she began to wake up.
"Uncle Cas? W-where are we?" Reese asked.
"We were on a case, do you remember?" Castiel answered then asked his own question.
Reese sat up and looked around at the warehouse and then the other people. She then looked over at Dean who was still holding onto Jace and Sam who was trying to calm his brother down.
"Yes, I remember" She answers.
Castiel helped the young Nephilim get up and when Dean saw that she was okay, he let go of Jace and made his way over to her. Reese stood still while Dean looked her over.
"What the hell was that?!" I exclaimed, rubbing the back of my neck where I had been yanked from. "She's a Nephilim, she needs a rune to hea-" I shut myself up when I saw her eyes open. She was fine, just fine.
"Clary! Can you draw another strength rune for me?" I yelled over the group of people who have seem to have decided that they're better than me.
"Of course, Jace!" Clary smiled, rolling her eyes ever so slightly. "Don't you think it's bit overkill?" She whispered when she came to my side as she sheathed her sword and pulled out her stele.
I looked over at her with the most serious face I could muster at the moment and gave the most curtest of nods to her. Clary chuckled but proceeded to draw the tune onto my skin. The tracing of the cool metal always burned when she did it. Every single goddamn time, she's got me wrapped around her little finger.
I smirked when I saw the Winchesters watch in awe at the symbol of my arm. A shudder ran through spine and sudden rush of relaxation and calmness courses through me. The chill rune as Clary likes to call it. It's one of the new runes she's invented in the past year. She loves to put it on me at random times to annoy me.
I sighed in defeat, there was no way that I would win against that fiery lil' ginger.
Dean looked back at Reese, after watching Jace get a symbol on his arm.
"Reese, I want you to stay here with these people while we hunt down the banshee" he tells her.
"What?! You can't leave me here with these people! It be best if I went with…" Reese trailed off when Dean glared at her.
"I'm going to go look at that wall" she said quietly before walking away from Dean.
Dean shook his head before making his way to Clary and Izzy.
"I want you guys to look after Reese while we're gone. Heaven, Hell and everything in between is looking for her. Do not take your eyes off of her though, she'll try to leave the first chance she gets. Do you understand?" Dean asked.
