"Ynx Lynx!" A loud shout came from the first floor. More specifically, it came from the young woman standing on the first floor landing, "We gotta get going!"
"Coming," Came the reply moments later. After a quick succession of thuds, bumps, and slightly muffled curses a tall girl came bounding down the steps. Of course, she and her ridiculously bouncing ponytail came down as the first girl was going up which resulted in a very tangled mass of limbs at the bottom of the stairs. After they untangled themselves, Ynx helped the slightly shorter girl off the ground, "Fast enough for you Krio?"
"Your sarcasm amazes me Ynki." Considering falling down the steps was normal for Krio she dusted herself off and straightened her clothes.
"Aren't we supposed to be leaving?"
"Crap!" They hurriedly grabbed their things, Ynx grabbed her keys, and they rushed out the door. Luckily, it was right about that time of day where there was blessedly little traffic. Unluckily, that didn't mean there was blessedly little stupid. As they were going down the road they had to screech to a stop due to two idiots running into the street. Unfortunately, Ynx wasn't prepared for two roadblocks and managed to swerve into a ditch. It wasn't all that bad, they were just stuck. That didn't make Ynx any less angry.
The two men quickly rushed over to see if they were ok. Of course they were, it wasn't like a head on collision. Krio's daily bumps and bruises amounted to more damage. As soon as they opened the driver's side door Ynx tore out of the car like a hellcat drenched in a pond, "What the Hell were you two doing?!"
"Are you ok?" The taller of the two managed to ask. This one was tall, at least six foot four inches of tall. The other man, who was a good three or four inches shorter and quite grumpier, came to open the passenger side.
"I," Ynx gestured to herself, road related accidents always made her dramatic. Also, it made her irritable, "am fine. My car, however, is not."
"We're sorry but," The shorter man interrupted the taller with a snort, "we really need to get going."
"Yeah, sure, whatever, as soon as you help me get my car out of the ditch." Ynx crossed her arms and gave the two a challenging glare. The shorter man glared right back at her. Krio laughed as she accepted the shorter's help.
"We don't have time for this, Sammy." The shorter one finally gave a name! Sadly, it was given at the same time as the refusal to help, and that pissed Ynx off. Krio smacked him in the stomach and gave him the universal 'shut up and agree' look.
"Dean, first, it's Sam. Second, this is our fault. We should help." Dean just walked past them all to the car and looked it over. Sam turned to the girls, "I'm Sam, that's my b- friend Dean. Sorry about your car."
"Krio," Krio introduced herself quickly, seeing the retort on Ynx's tongue, "Krio Lynn Piatt. This is Ynx Lynx. We appreciate you manning up and helping us out."
"Hey! Stop yapping and come get the damn car!" Krio rolled her eyes and walked over with the other two in tow.
"Hey Asshat! We're here. How exactly are we going to help?" Krio crossed her arms and leaned on the car. Sam smiled and even Ynx smirked. Dean was not amused, "Oh, did you actually think Ynx and I could pull a car? Heck, naw! We might be able to get it out with you two and me pushing and Ynx steering. If we're lucky we'll get it out in under half an hour."
"That works, and I'm not an asshat." Krio hummed and Ynx hopped in the car, turning it on and throwing it in reverse. Krio got a good grip on the front end and motioned to the two men just standing there. Once they got a hold of themselves they grabbed a piece of grill and the three of them began to push. It was slow going. Krio wasn't nearly as strong as she needed to be and the ditch was steep. Dean grumbled the entire time and Sam just pushed. Sam was the smartest one of the bunch. By the time they actually got the car out of the ditch (Twenty-six minutes later) Dean and Krio were cursing up a storm at each other. Dean yelled for Krio's uselessness and Krio for Dean's bitchiness. Sam just sighed and dusted himself off. Ynx had cooled down during the entire thing and climbed out to talk to Sam.
"Is he always that argumentative?" she asked, watching the other two squabble.
"Not usually. Usually he tries to hit on anything female with legs…" Sam sighed again.
"Do you need a ride somewhere? We might as well forget our appointment; we weren't going to make it anyhow." Ynx shrugged and Sam looked over. Ynx raised an eyebrow; she was generally a nice person if you didn't start up her road rage.
"We're headed to Columbus, Children's Hospital. Do you know how to get there?" Sam didn't really look to hopeful, but who was he to deny a free ride?
"No. I don't," Sam's face fell just a teeny bit, "but Krio knows the route like the back of her hand."
"I heard my name!" Krio interjected herself into the conversation and startled Ynx.
"Dear Lord, never do that!" Ynx glared and Krio smiled, "They need a ride to Children's. We're giving them one."
"We are?" Krio looked between the two men, "Sure, why not? It's about time for my weekly visit anyway."
Ynx walked back over to the driver's side and Krio hopped into the passenger's side backseat. Sam just sat shotgun while Dean grumped himself into the backseat next to Krio. For awhile no one made any noise except for Krio's quiet directions to Ynx. Sam had pulled out his phone and was messing with it. Krio was getting bored. That was bad. She glanced over at Dean, who was still sulking for some reason, and sighed. She was really getting bored. She reached awkwardly into the front section of the car to mess with the radio. After fiddling with it and getting nothing she got fed up and put in a random CD. As she waited for it to come on she nudged Dean.
"Hey, why are you headed to Children's?" Dean ignored her, "Hey, hey…hey…hey…"
"It's not your business!" Krio sat back and smirked as the CD started.
"Oh no…"Ynx glanced in the rearview and had seen her face, "This should be interesting."
"What should?" Sam barely heard Ynx over the CD.
"Krio has decided to befriend your friend back there. There is no stopping it now. She has the 'Look'." Ynx focused on the road and Sam scoffed. Sam thought that was funny, Ynx was serious. Krio was too. Nothing more was said on the subject because Paramore began blaring through the speakers. Ynx had cranked up the volume for 'Misery Business'. Sam and Dean covered their ears for a moment while Krio began singing (screaming) along. They really weren't good. They weren't horrible, but they were bad enough not to want to hear them scream. Sam turned it down.
"Holy Shit! What was that?" Dean rubbed at his ears.
"That was us having a good time until your bro turned it down. Don't you know not to ever touch someone else's stereo?" Krio went to smack him in the stomach, but he caught her hand.
"Will you quit that? Seriously, what did I ever do to you?" Dean flung her hand back, but Krio smirked.
"Don't you know the rules? The harder you hit it the more you like it." She kicked him in the leg, "Be grateful."
"Ok, pull over. You guys are crazy."
"Dean, we should be almost there. It's only a little longer." Sam hid his smile by looking forward.
"Yeah, well you aren't getting hit by the crazy chick!" Sam muffled his laughter and Ynx bit her lip. Yeah, crazy was a good word for it.
"I am not crazy! I am so sane, I am in-sane! You best check yourself!" Krio made a ridiculously elaborate hand gesture and even managed to keep a straight face for all of thirty seconds before cracking up laughing. Ynx began to laugh with Sam and even Dean cracked a laugh after what Krio said sunk in. It was utterly ridiculous. It lightened the mood in the car dramatically.
"So," Sam began after the laughter died down, "How do you two know Columbus so well? You live there?"
"Nope. We actually live back toward Mansfield. I go to school there though." Ynx turned left and groaned as she hit the lunchtime traffic.
"You said Krio knew the hospital?" Ynx nodded and shot Sam a smile before turning back to the road.
"Yeah, I'd hope so. I lived there for a long time as I grew up." Dean snorted, "What?"
"What, you sickly or something?"
"No! Of course not, what do you take me for? It was my brother who was sickly. We just had to live there while he was there." Krio stretched her legs out on Dean's lap and began to relax.
"Why would you have to live in a hospital?" Dean shoved her legs off and got comfortable himself.
"Well," Krio sat up straight, "we had to stay there because Mom was there. Dad was there sometimes, but he wasn't really allowed by Mom much. So we didn't have anywhere to go but Children's. The staff is really nice, and most of the same staff is there. Oh you would not believe the news from them recently! You would not believe how chatty the doctors are!"
Sam and Dean shared a look the girls didn't quite understand. Apparently it was a significant silent exchange, because the boys were quiet for a bit. Ynx rolled her eyes and pulled into the hospital's parking lot. Krio offered up the parking money and Ynx hunted up a parking spot. The boys just sat back and waited. For once, they weren't the experts here.
"Before we go in here, I should let you know that the Doctors won't be very chatty with you two. The nurses might, but only if they're hitting on you. You might want to avoid the ones who do. They're whistle-blowers. Your best bet is to tell us what you're looking for and we'll get whatever info you need." Krio planted herself into the boys' path. They looked at each other and Dean smirked.
"What we do is our business. However, we're here to investigate some deaths." Dean pulled out a FBI badge and Ynx inspected it carefully. Ynx passed it to Krio with a raised eyebrow. Krio took it and looked at it quickly before laughing.
"Sure, Agent 'Toni Iiomi'," Krio flicked the badge back and Dean caught it with a grimace. Sam just face palmed and sighed heavily, "How about telling us something true?"
"We really are trying to solve some deaths." Sam offered.
"Yeah, I'm real likely to believe you. How about some proof?" Ynx gave them a level look, far more suspicious than Krio was. Then again, Krio always made friends with the most odd of peoples.
"We don't have any." Sam shifted his gaze away. It was then Ynx knew something was up. Sam had met her gaze every single time so far. Granted, she had only met him about an hour and a half ago, but Ynx liked to think she was a pretty good judge of character. To her, the guys seemed ok. A little shifty, but they had just met. It was to be expected. Overall they seemed like good guys. Why they were telling whoppers of lies like this, just to get information from a hospital? There was something going on here that didn't make any sense.
Ch One

A/N: Well, chapter one begins and it is NOTHING like the original Chapter one. I know this seems short, and a bit disjointed, but Chapter Two will sort a few things out. It's basically the first part in the view of the boys. Very interesting~ You'll get to see Cas~!
