This is based off of my Crossover universe, but can be read alone. However, if you want to check out what happened before, go read my work in progress "Home is where you make it". Takes place during the Darach season of Teen wolf. I had this idea for a while, but figured it would go better as a side story than another chapter, so here it is! Let me know what you think!

"I'm sorry, but you two won't be able to hunt this particular succubus. Not only that, but you can't kill it."

"And why the hell not?"Dean asks Cas irritably, while Sam watches on. They had been getting reports of couples dying midst...coetis, in a line across the state, and after coming across three crime scenes already where the deceased were found in various positions that would have done the Kama Sutra proud, they had enough to go on to believe it was a type of lust demon, perhaps even a succubus."We know where the hell it's going to be, and that if we don't stop it then another couple of horny as hell schmucks as gonna be another snack. Tell me, why can't we we hunt and kill the bastard again?"

"Bastards, not bastard."Cas replies in his usual low voice, not reacting to Deans tone."It will more than likely be both an incubus and a succubus, considering the pattern and timing of killings. And if so, they would only be interested in people capable of showing interest in one another, that would be the only way of getting them to reveal themselves."

"And by interest you mean..."

"He means sexually, Dean."Sam says, shaking his head a bit and sighing."How were all the bodies found again?"

"Oh. Ohhhhhh, I gotcha."Dean says as it dawns on him, then grimaces."Gross man. I'm sure you're a stud to some people, but you're really not my type Sammie."

"Noted. So you're saying we can't do anything else, Cas? There's gotta be a way to get this thing."

"Perhaps if you had two people act as if they highly desired one another at the location you believe the succubus will strike next, you could lure it away from anyone else and trap it. However, you still wouldn't be able to be the ones who kill it, unless you could somehow do it without being in the same room."

"Again, why the hell can't we?"

Cas cocks his head to the side, looking at Dean oddly, as if that were a strange question."Because you are brothers."

"Fine, whatever that means."Dean finally says dismissively, waving Cas off before he can go into any further details."So we need to find two people we trust to help us take down this bitch, who in a best case scenario can handle themselves if things go south. Oh, and one of them needs to be a girl, am i getting this all right so far?"

"Correct. As well as both legal in age."

"Well no shit Sherlock. Hey, it's the weekend, do you think Ashley would be up for it? Take her mind off all the weird crap going down where she is, even if it's just for a couple of days."

"We could always ask, she's usually up for helping with a hunt."Sam says, pulling out his phone to text her."What about the second person though...couldn't one of us just do it? It's not like we're bad actors or anything, and it would make one less person we have to pull in."

"Dude, I'm pretty sure her good buddy Lucifer would skin us alive if we even pretended to flirt with her, and I like my skin on my body where it belongs."Dean says with a small shudder."Didn't she make some sort of hunter friend in Beacon Hills? She could ask him for help."

"Uh, yea, why not."Sam types out a message to Ashley and sends it, then turns back to Cas."If she says ok, will you go down and pick them up, bring them here so we can get this taken care of?"

"Of course."

"Good. Now that we have that out of the way, do we need any super special weapons to kill this bitch?"

"Generally a sword through the heart, or severing the head will work fine..."

Someday, the two of them would learn to let Castiel finish explaining things before interrupting him to just plow on ahead and try and get things taken care of. One would think that after all the close calls, they would figured it out already.

Unfortunately not.
***********************************

It had been a slow week for both school and Darach hunting, and sure enough Ashley was more than interested in helping take down a baddie, since they still couldn't locate theirs, and as soon as class was over that Friday afternoon she hauled Gwaine up on her bike and booked it to Chris Argents apartment, almost running all the way up the stairs till she made it to his door, unusually excited to go monster hunting. Gwaine seemed to be absorbing excitement from her, and he jumped around happily as she knocked loudly three times on the door.

Chris opens the door with a bemused expression on his face, having peeked through the spyhole to see who it was before opening the door(not to mention glancing at the camera feed he had set up along with his security system)."Should I be worried that you're so excited about something?"

"That's a funny way to say hello, Chris."

"Hello Ashley. Should I be worried you're so excited about something? Enough so that Gwanine's feeding off of it?"

"Maybe, maybe not, depends on if you mind giving me a hand with something."She says with a grin."Mind if I come in and explain?"

"Not at all."He says, letting both Gwaine and her inside the apartment, then closes the door, locks it tight, and leads them to his office. Once they've both settled down, Gwaine sitting up straight next to Ashley, tail wagging, Chris leans back in his chair and looks straight on at her."All right, shoot, what's going on?"

"I got a text from Sam about an hour ago."

"Winchester?"

"Yea, seems like they've been following up on a string of deaths where the victims are always found looking like they died in the middle of having sex."

"I...huh. Quite a way to be found, is it a lust demon?"

"That's what they think, though more specifically a succubus."Ashley replies, crossing her legs unconsciously and threading her fingers together."Problem is, Castiel, the angel they usually get help from, said they won't be able to hunt it themselves, or kill it at all. They need help, and asked if I would be interested. Not only that, they wanted me to ask you for help as well. Sam figured we might need a reprieve from Darach hunting, it would only take a couple of days at the most, and we could come back with fresh minds."

He considers it quietly."Did they say why they needed me as well? Or why they can't hunt it without help?"

"Not yet, they said they would explain everything in person. They don't usually ask other people for help though, so it must be something they really can't do on their own. What do you say, wanna get away for a couple of days?"She says, grinning as she wiggles her eyebrows much like Groucho Marx."Hunt and kill a demon, stop it from killing anyone else, meet the dreaded Winchesters in person?"

Chris snorts out loud."Dreaded Winchesters? Please, they may be referred to as the monsters version of the boogeyman at times, but I've heard enough about them to not be that worried. Besides, once upon a time the Argents were considered the same for were shifters."

"True."She says with a smile."So what do you say? Feel like being a hunter again, if only for the weekend?"

Chris smirks, standing up and leaning over the desk, placing his hands on it and staring her down."I never stopped being a hunter, thank you very much."

"No, you just took a short sabbatical, right?"She says as she smirks back."Gotta keep you on your toes, wouldn't want you to go soft on me."

"You know what? Fine, I'll do it. If only to show you I still know what I'm doing."He says, and she leans back in triumph."When do we need to leave?"

"Well, if you can let Allison know what's going on, I can tell the rest of the pack we're going to be doing a little side project this weekend so they know to look after one another, we could leave in the next hour. Cas said he'll come get us once we're ready."

"Deal. Are you bringing Gwaine with you?"

She looks down at the wolf, still grinning up at her."I'll probably leave him here to help look after the others. Gwaine, do you mind looking after Stiles and the rest of the pack while we're gone? I know they'll be in good hand..paws with you there. We'll only be gone a couple of days."Gwaine gazes up at her solemnly for a while as she thinks hard about what she needs from him, like she was told to by Deucalion, before he finally nods one, licking her hand and giving a yip. She smiles back, ruffling his fur lovingly before looking back over at Chris."All taken care of."

"It's still weird that you can do that, you know."

"No kidding. I haven't even told Sam and Dean about it yet, kinda worried about their reaction."

"About the demon deal, or being a pack alpha in general?"

"Oh, all of the above really."She says with a sigh."They really aren't the biggest fans of Crowley, he still likes to mess with them, and just because he plays nice around me doesn't mean he doesn't do demony stuff. And they're wary enough about the grace thing without adding alpha to the mix."

"Sound like they're kinda like I used to be about weres, only about everything supernatural."

"That sounds about right, but they're working on it. So, do you have any idea what all to bring for a succubus hunt?"

"Not really, but I can bring a bag of the basics, and anything else we need I can see if this Castiel can get for me."

"Sounds good, I'll do the same. Meet you at the house in an hour?"

"Deal, see you then."
************************************

An hour later Ashley met Chris outside of her house, Stiles on one side, Gwaine and Castiel on the other as he parked the SUV and walked up to them, black duffel in hand. Ashley had her own brown canvas backpack to take along, filled with things she felt necessary for any hunt, though in all honesty it was halfway a bug out bag. The only thing she didn't have to worry about bringing was a weapon, as her archangel blade was pretty much her go to for anything, so far her limit was her own imagination...which was vast if you were going to be honest, and her knowledge of the fantasy genre didn't hurt matters. She had dressed herself warmly, seeing as fall was finally starting to get its claws in, wearing the brown jacket Dean had gotten her, combat boots(more comfortable than one might think when paired with the right socks), a pair of well worn jeans and loose wine-colored shirt, and fitted together for maximum comfort and movement, her hair pulled back into a loose braid to keep it out of her face. She was halfway convinced she should just cut it all off, considering the hazard it could pose in the wrong situation.

Chris was dressed to a tee in black except for his pants, which were a dark grey, black pea coat over everything completing the look as he walks up to them, face serious."Is this your, 'I'm a big scary hunter' look? I gotta say it works."She says as he stops in front of them, sunglasses resting on the top of his head.

"Something like that."He replies, glancing over at Castiel."You the angel giving us a ride?"

"Yes, I'm Castiel."

"You seem a bit more...held in than the others I've met."

"Others?"

"Lucifer and Gabriel."

"Ah. Well, my brother Gabriel has been on earth a long time, and has absorbed many of their tendencies. Lucifer...has been in hell."

"Yea, Cas is very much the straight man."Ashley says before Stiles can pop up with a reply."Stiles, you gonna stay out of trouble while I'm gone?"

"Probably not to be honest. I probably won't be able to not piss off anyone either. Oh, I can promise to stay off of your computer, does that count?"

"Not really, but I appreciate the gesture."She says with a sigh."I've already told the twins what's going on, and they passed the message to Deucalion for me. I also messaged the rest of the pack when I messaged you, told them to try and make this a strictly research weekend, no unnecessary adventures, keep Gwaine around since he seems to sense when bad guys are around, and play nice with the twins if they come around."

"Good grief, you act like I can't take care of myself. I'm 17 for cripes sake, I'm not a little kid. Or an idiot."

"A 17 year old who pushes Peters buttons every time he sees him, talks back to Derek and makes him threaten to rip out your throat with his teeth, and who runs around with his best friend trying to solve random murders with nothing but a baseball bat. I think I'm justified in my asking you to be good."

"...You make a very good point. I may just stay in the house all weekend. Have a research session disguised as a study session, or something like that, should keep you and dad happy. He thinks I'm failing everything, something about skipping classes."

"You are skipping classes...and barely passing."

"Technicalities my dear cuz."

"Whatever."She says, rolling her eyes and ignoring the amused expression on Chris's face."Just don't expect a bailout from me when you have to repeat this grade. You ready Chris?"

"Ready when you are."

"All right. Gwaine, take care of Stiles and the pack for me."She says, leaning down and pressing a kiss onto Gwaines head, and hugging him lightly, then stands back up and faces Castiel."Aight Cas, beam us up."

"We aren't beaming anywhere, we're flying."Cas says completely deadpan, and both Chris and Stiles stare at him incredulously.

"Good grief...Cas, it's a Star Trek reference...you know what, never mind, you might actually need pop culture help more than Luce. Let's go."

Castiel nods and grabs them both, transporting them all away instantly. Stiles stares at the empty space for a moment before a thought comes to him, causing him to slap his forehead with a groan."Fuck, I forgot to ask what I'm supposed to tell dad when he asks where she is."
*************************************

The three of them reappeared in what she considered classic Winchester style: a cheap, cheesy motel room that was probably only 30 dollars a night, two twin beds gracing the room, Dean eating what looks like a double bacon cheeseburger on one of them while watching TV, Sam at the tiny table in the room typing away at his laptop, most likely researching their current hunt. Neither were facing her as they popped in, and Ashley smiles to herself at the familiar sight, one that she had gotten used to seeing almost every day of the three months that she had traveled with them. They both looked so calm, so relaxed, a big difference from when they were hiding from both heaven and hell not too long ago. It would almost be a shame to ruin the moment.

Almost.

Grinning, she puts her hands around her mouth and yells out 'Ghost' as loud as she can, causing both of them to jump up about 5 feet in the air. Deans cheeseburger hits the wall beside him with a smack as he throws it and reaches for a packet of salt that came with his meal, Sam jumping up and picking up the metal chair he was sitting on to swing it around as a weapon. They both look around wild eyed, weapon of choice in hand and ready to go before finally settling on the giggling form of Ashley next to Castiel and Chris, Cas looking on curiously while Chris crosses his arms and watches with a smirk.

"What the hell...that wasn't funny!"Dean cries out indignantly, while Sam simply lowers the chair and stares."You made me waste a perfectly good double bacon cheeseburger!"

"What were you going to do with that tiny salt packet Dean?"She asks, barely able to breath from laughing so hard."Throw it and hope the ghost somehow inhales it?"

"Hey, it was the closest thing at hand!"He says, glaring at her."I was working with what I had!"

"Yea yea yea, keep telling yourself McGuyver."She says with a smile."It's good to see you guys again. Working hard?"

"You kidding? Between trying to figure out this whole Eve situation and hunting normal leads, we're lucky if we get a break."Sam says, the chair back down on the floor. Walking forward he gives Ashley a big hug, smiling thinly when he finally lets go and looking over at Chris."And this is?"

"Oh yea, sorry."She says, gesturing for Chris to walk up."Guys, this is Chris Argent, a local hunter from Beacon Hills and a friend of mine. Chris, this is Sam and Dean Winchester."

"Pleased to meet you."Sam says, holding out his hand for Chris to shake, then standing aside for Dean to do the same."We've heard a bit about you from Ashley, nice to place a face to the name."

"I've heard of you as well, though not all of it was from Ashley."Chris says to them as they finsh shaking hands."Not all of it was good either, but I like to get first hand experience with a person rather than believe other peoples opinions. I actually met your father during a hunt once, he was hunting a were different from the type he was used to, and I helped him track it."

Dean frowns."I think I remember that. Dad seemed really confused, said the were wasn't behaving normally. That was what, 15 years ago?"

"It was. We managed to stop it in time, it was unfortunately an omega that had been without a pack for much too long, and had hit the deep end. We put it out of its misery and your father learned there are more than one type of each supernatural in the world."

"So are you strictly a were hunter then?"Sam asks curiously as he sits back in his chair, Ashley and Chris sitting down on the end of one bed while Dean keeps standing. Cas walks around and stands next to Dean, watching the entire exchange as he usually does."Because while I wouldn't mind learning what all you can tell us about the different types of weres, we need someone who would be able to help with other things as well."

"While my family did specialize in were hunting, I branched out when I was younger, before I was married."Chris explains to the curious hunters."Traveled around for a couple of years, took in all that I could, worked protection for a couple of high profile marks. So, as you put, I'll be able to help you with your other stuff pretty well. So why don't you explain a little bit about your current one, so I know what's going on, and what I've agreed to help with."

Sam and Dean glance at one another, not expecting his forwardness, and Sam launches an explanation about how they came across the current lead, the bodies that keep getting found, they way they were found, and what they think it is. Ashley listens in carefully, noticing out of the corner of her eye how intently Chris pays attention to every little detail they give him, how serious he looks as he takes it all in. It was a completely different creature than the way Stiles and the others went about it, the true mark between a professional and a part-timer. His blue eyes stared the two of them down, and she could tell every time they said something he had a question about.

It was honestly kind of hot.

"We have the location of the next place it will strike, following the pattern of the kills so far."Sam finishes, leaning forward in his chair."However.."

"We need help to locate them once we get there."Dean finishes with annoyance."Which is where you two come in."

Chris nods, going over everything he was just told silently to himself."Ok...why? You two seem like you have the knowledge and skills to get a job like this done, why do you need us?"

"It's...complicated."Sam replies a bit uncomfortably."Technically, we only really needed Ashley."

"If that's the case, why ask me to help as well?"

"Here's the thing."Dean interrupts before Sam can answer."Cas says the type of succubus it is will only show its hand at those who show..extreme interest in one another. That's how they choose the next victims. The hotel it's going to be at is having some sorta high profile shindig, and we need you two to go in and act like you do, so we can watch everyone else and see who pays the closest attention to you. From there we can set up a trap and shank the bitch."

Ashley starts laughing. Hard. All the males in the room look over at her like she's grown a pair of horns, wondering if she's lost it. With tears running down from her eyes, she controls herself just enough so she can talk to the confused males."Haha..oh my god, let me get this straight. You need us is because the only other way you would be able to somehow locate this thing is to act like you two were attracted to each other? This sounds like one of Carvers ideas! A whole new spin on brotherly love!"She exclaims, laughing again.

"Not funny."Dean pouts, glaring at her.

"Please, never say that again."Sam mutters in distaste."He might somehow hear it and actually try."

"Why couldn't one of you act on it with her, then the other one watch?"Chris asks, bringing the topic back on track, as he was prone to do in most situations. He did however have an amused gleam in his eye at the brothers discomfort.

"Well...a couple of reasons."Dean says, still pouting a bit."We'd feel weird pretending to flirt with her, she's kinda like the sister we never had after training her so long, and we know she has no interest in either of us whatsoever."

"It's true."Ashley confirms, finally having stopped laughing.

"And the other reason?"

"We..uh..don't think Lucifer would like it too much if he found out we were flirting with her, or if he found out we were using her as bait."

"Wait, you wanted me to ask Chris because you're scared of Lucifer?"Ashley asks incredulously."He's not murderous towards humans anymore, and you know it."

"Yea, but he's also very fond of you, and between him and the shortest archangel we're pretty sure he could make our lives a living hell without killing us. Remember the Mystery Spot? Pretty sure it would be miles worse than that."

"Scardy cat."

"In this instance, I have absolutely no problem with that."

Sighing, she looks over at Chris seriously."What do you think?"

"I'm not sure...can we have a moment to think for a moment?"He asks, looking towards the brothers."Alone?"

"Yea, of course."Sam agrees, standing up and heading to the room exit, Dean right behind him."Just come get us when you've made up your minds. Cas, you too."

"Haven't they already agreed?"

"Cas, this is a lot for them to take in, let them have some time to sift through it."Dean says, grabbing the angel and pulling him along with them through the door."It's a human thing."

"I'm not a human, Dean."

"Really? I never noticed."Dean grumbles, the last thing they hear before the door closes to the room.

Ashley turns to Chris on the bed, concern written all over her face."It's not exactly what I thought we would be doing. What do you think?"

"Well, we definitely need to try and stop it before it can kill anyone else."Chris says, arms crossed as he thinks out loud."It will just keep going if we don't, and get harder to track the stronger it gets. The problem is the way we go about it. If they're right about how to get the succubus's attention, we're going to have to be extremely proficient actors, and show each other a lot of...interest, as they said. Flirting, affection, closeness to one another...we're basically going to be pretending to be a couple in our honeymoon phase. And around a large group of people to boot, all drinking and mingling with one another. Are you going to be ok with that?"

"More ok than I would have been pretending with either Sam or Dean, they were right about that."She says softly."Even without the looming prospect of Luce finding out about it, it would have been a bad idea, we just don't have that type of chemistry. I would end up slapping Dean for something, and Sam would be too nervous to try anything."

"What about the angel?"

"The succubus would sense his grace from a mile away, and have you met Cas? It would be like flirting with a brick wall wearing a trench coat. Same with Gabe and Luce, only Gabe would overdo it and Luce most likely wouldn't be able to figure out flirting, and would most likely break someones hand if they tried to feel me up."

"Well when you put it that way.."He says with a small smile."I'm pretty much the best and only choice."

"Pull back the ego a bit."She says with a laugh."The question is, do you think we could pull it off? This whole plan hinges on how well we can basically flirt shamelessly with one another, and more besides that."

"Oh, I don't think it's that hard to flirt with a lovely woman."He says, making her blush just the slightest bit."What about you? I'm nearly 40, can you bring yourself to flirt with an old man?"

"Please, you aren't 40 yet, you still have a couple of years."She says dismissively."And besides, I always did have a thing for older men, so I think we'll be good."She pauses as they both let what they said sink in."So...are we doing this?"

"In order to stop this thing..yes, I think we are."Ashley nods silently and stands up, walking over to the door and letting the Winchesters back in while Chris closes his eyes, not exactly sure how he was going to pull this off and stay objective afterwards. Once he feels the two men back in front of him he opens his eyes back up, eyeing them.

"Well?"

"We'll do it, this thing needs to be stopped."He says, making the two of them sigh in relief."What's the event it will be at?"

"It's a charity benefit for the family violence shelters around Chicago, being held at the Chicago Hilton."Sam explains, bringing up the web page for the event."The succubus has been sticking to things like this, as there are a lot of people, a lot of alcohol, and lowered inhibitions to give it a good variety to choose from. The only problem is that tickets are $300 dollars each, and it's a black tie event, which means expensive clothes to match the expensive buy in. Cas can take us is and we can look on from there, we don't want to be noticed as it works to our advantage."

"But what about us?"Ashley asks, frowning as Chris looks at the page, then pulls out his phone and dials a number, walking to the other side of the room and talking quietly.

"You two actually need to be seen arriving, it draws attention to you from everyone, and from there you can try and keep the attention on you."Sam explains while Dean and Cas look on."Once you manage to gain the succubus's attention, you can draw it away from the crowd, trap it and hopefully kill it."

"Ok. That's a solid plan and all, but how are we going to get the tickets?"Ashley finally says after going over all the details."There's a lot to do before leading up to all that."

"I've got that taken care of."Chris says from the other side of the room, done with his mystery phone call.

"What did you do?"Cas asks curiously in his gruff voice.

"I called the Hilton reserved a room for tomorrow, then bought two tickets to the Charity ball."He says, matter of factly.

"Wait, what?"Dean asks with a frown."The Hilton ain't cheap, and getting a room during a big charity ball like that ain't gonna cheapen things."

"Yes, well, I've got money put back for cases like this."Chris says with a shrug."Not only that but I've stayed at this particular Hilton before, so getting the tickets and the room took a matter of minutes once I gave my name. As well, the room will give us a place to lure the succubus to once we've gotten its attention."

"That's..actually a good idea."Sam says with a dazed look on his face.

"Don't look so surprised, I've done this longer than you, so I've picked up a couple of tricks."

"Doesn't hurt that you have money to throw around."Dean mutters under his breath."Not to mention the luxury of using your real name for this kinda stuff. We aren't exactly that lucky."

"Have you ever thought about getting some sort of sponsor? Maybe someone with money to spare, who knows about what you do and wouldn't mind helping somehow?"Chris asks them."That's how I worked at first, when I was working for the high profile marks on protection. They can help with money, lodging, things like that."

"Yea, let me just pull a rich guy out of my ass."

"I don't think that's physically possible, Dean, unless he was somehow blended into tiny pieces."

"Shut up Cas, I was being sarcastic."

"Ah. That would make more sense."

"Obviously."

"If you two are finished,"Ashley says to the two of them."We better get to our hotel and have a good look around, so we know the way around the place if anything happens. Not to mention the getting ready for tomorrow, that will take a while."

"What are you talking about, what part of getting ready for tomorrow could possibly take that long?"

"Guys, we're going to be going to a ball."She says, looking at the brothers like they're idiots."All of you are going to have to wear nice suits, tuxes even, if you're going to fit in. Chris, should I assume you have something that will work back at your apartment?"

"Oh, I think I can find something."He says with a smirk.

"Good. Sam, Dean, what about you?"

"Does it look like we just carry around tuxes?"Dean asks with a glare.

"Why not? You carry suits, priest outfits and fake badges for nearly everything, so why not a couple of tuxedos?"Quiet grumbling."I could always ask Gabe for help, I'm sure he could rustle up a couple of tuxedos for you."

"No!"Both Dean and Sam yell, much to Chris's surprise."We can find some, no need to ask him for help!"

"What's wrong with asking him for help?"Chris asks curiously, causing the brothers to look at him in exasperation.

"We don't have the best history. He trapped us in basically TV Land for who knows how long trying to force us to accept our roles as vessels, killed Dean more than 100 times, all different ways, by resetting a day over and over again, is basically the douchiest little archangel...you take a pick."

"Fine, but you better find some before tomorrow night. That only leaves me then. God, this is going to be like prom all over again."

"Why? Do you not have a dress that can work?"Dean asks, causing Ashley to roll her eyes at him.

"I'm a girl, Dean, I can't just throw a dress on and go. For this kind of thing, to fit in with all the other women, I'm going to have to have my hair done, makeup done, manicure, pedicure, shoes and a small amount of jewelry as well as the dress. Unlike you guys, I have to go through the wringer to get ready, and that takes more than a couple of minutes."

"Ok, ok, lay off."Dean says, waving his hands in the air."So how do you plan on getting all of that done? Do you have a secret stash of money saved somewhere as well?"

"No."She says with a pleased smile."But I do have a friends in high places...and in low. And the one in low happens to have very good taste."

And still, they didn't bother to ask why Sam and Dean couldn't kill the succubus. Idiots.

Next time, Ashley and Chris attend a ball, and do their best to gain the attention of the Succubus! Reviews get you cookies and thanks, as well as get the next chapter out faster!
