Author's Note: I don't know if I put this important detail in before, but I'll say it here anyway. This story will go Canon Divergent after we start reaching Season 5 (mostly once Jayne and the brothers find out about Archangel Gabriel.)

Also I've chosen Kacey Rohl to be Jayne's face claim (that's who I use on Tumblr to rp with her as anyway.) Another thing, Mick Davies (from Season 12) who I put as Jayne's Watcher in this will be making another appearance soon and will also start to be in her life more.

Alright, back to story. This is the chapter where Jayne meets Gabriel for the first time (in the disguise as Loki.) Thanks for reading~!

The Winchester Sister Tales: The Story

Chapter 4: How to Play a Trickster

"When I first met you, I honestly didn't know you were gonna be this important to me."

- Anonymous

The siblings stuck by each other since their father's death, afraid to leave each other's side. They were coping the best they could after losing the only parent they had left. That hole where he use to be is empty. It was hard on them, but most especially Dean. Jayne knew now that Dad was gone...for good... and Dean felt he would have to stand up and be the father figure in their life.

It also didn't help that Sam's visions were getting more powerful and worse, which made Dean even more overprotective of them. As for Jayne, she couldn't sleep well over it for a while. She was trying hard not to kick herself, hiding it from her brothers like she always did, but that pain was still there. She just wanted her Dad back. So she ended up calling Mick and telling him what happened to her father, even breaking down sobbing to him about it, which was embarrassing to her.

It was hard, but at least they had each other, even throughout all the fights Dean and Sam would get into.

Like now...

"Dude, you mind not eating those on my bed?" Sam asked, looking to Dean who was groaning while eating.

"No, I don't mind." Dean replied, not moving. "How's the research going?"

Sam closes a book and turns to glare at Dean. "You know how it's going?"

Jayne looks up from her book, between her brothers. "Guys, calm down."

The guys seemed to ignore her, continuing on. "Slow. You know how it would go a heck of a lot faster? If I had my computer!" Sam continued. Dean smiles and nods at him.

"Could you turn that down, please?" Sam finally said, angrily.

"Yeah, absolutely," replies Dean, reaching over and turning the radio up instead.

Jayne sighed, holding her hands to her ears and bringing her head onto the desk. She didn't like it when they started arguing. Whenever they would start she tried to stop it, but the guys had to much testosterone and would continue on, like wolfs trying to claim title of Alpha wolf.

"Maybe you should just go somewhere for a while." Sam suggested.

"Hey, that's a great idea," says Dean. "I'd love to. Unfortunately, my car is all screwed to hell."

Jayne had been hearing her brothers go back and forth, bickering with each other over who stole Sammy's laptop to who made Baby's tire's go flat. It even got to the point where they started bickering about past stuff that was long and over with. The Slayer sighed, holding her hands to her ears before losing her patience and slamming her fist on the table, causing it to break. "Enough!"

That sure got their attention as they went quiet and she looked down at the broken table. Damn...she was still trying to get use to this slayer strength.

"But he-" They both started again, as Jayne held a hand up, motioning for them to stop.

"No, stop. I've already called Bobby and he's on his way right now because you two need a timeout!" She scolded them, pulling out her phone and checking to see when she last called the hunter. He should be here anytime soon. Bobby Singer was a family friend of their father's. Jayne didn't know him as well as her brothers, but she knew she could trust the guy at least.

As if on cue, there was a sudden knock at the door, indicating Bobby's arrival. "Oh, thank god." Jayne said, opening the door as her brother's continued to bicker in the background.

Bobby came in, looking between the two brothers and to Jayne. "Alright, tell me from the beginning how this all happened."

"See a professor took a nose dive from a fourth story window, only there's a campus legend that the building's haunted. So we pretexted these reporters from the local paper."

Sam and Dean started telling him about how they went to go talk to students at the bar located at Crawford Hall where some crazy things had been happening, not only involving a professor. Dean goes on to talk about flirting with a college girl, making Jayne roll her eyes.

"And where were you during all of this?" Bobby asked Jayne.

Sam and Dean gave grins while the sister gave a disgusted look. "On a date..."

"Excuse me?" Bobby asked in disbelief.

Jayne sat up and began to explain. "After they talked to students they took me along to Crawford Hall where we went to check the scene of the crime out..."

The siblings walked up the stairs dressed in jumpsuits, following the Janitor who had found the Professor's body. Jayne could see the Janitor taking glimpses at her whenever he could making her think maybe she looked stupid in this outfit or maybe something was on her face. It made her a bit uncomfortable.

"So how long you been working here?" Sam started asking.

"I have been mopping this floor for six years," The Janitor replied as they finally reached the Professor's office. "There you go, guys and dear lady," he said, unlocking the door to the office and turning on the light, looking to Jayne with a wink.

"Uh, thanks." Jayne replied, quickly walking into the room and away from him.

"What the heck is that for?" The Janitor asks as Sam takes out their EMF meter.

"It will pick up wiring in the walls." Sam told him, scanning it around the room.

"I'm not sure why you're wiring up this office, as it isn't going to do the professor much good." He replied, taking a brief glance at Jayne once more.

"Why's that?" Dean asked.

"He's dead."

"What happened?"

"He went out that window right there."

"Yeah? Were you working that night?" Sam asked.

The Janitor nodded. "I'm the one who found him. "I just saw him come up here and – well." He began to chuckle.

"What?"

"He wasn't alone."

"Who was he with?"

"He was with a young lady. I told the cops about it, but I guess they never found her." The Janitor replied, glancing towards Jayne once again. She looked away, deciding to act like looking around the room once more.

"You saw this girl come in, but you did you ever see her come out?" Sam asked.

"Now that you mention it, no."

"You ever see her before, around?"

"Not her."

Dean's raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

Jayne sighed, realizing what he meant as she finally spoke. "What he means is the Professor brought a lot of girls up here. Sheesh."

"Bingo." The Janitor said, smiling to her brightly. "Not only is she beautiful, but intelligent as well."

Jayne just nodded to him before looking away again. The brothers finally noticing the thing going on between this guy and their sister, seeing the way he looked at her.

Sam decided to change the subject. "One more thing, this building has only four stories, right? So there wouldn't be a room 669?"

The Janitor looked back to Sam. " "Course not. Why do you ask?"

"Just curious. Thank you for your time, we'll be heading out now."

"Wait." The Janitor started, walking up to Jayne who looked to him with wide eyes. "I-I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me? I know I'm just a janitor, but you're a beautiful girl in jumpsuit and all and I'd like to get to know you more."

Jayne looked to her brothers for help and they were slightly amused by the scene before them. "Um..."

Dean grabbed her, helping her out of the situation. "That would be a no."

"Thanks Dean." Jayne sighed in relief as they were outside the building by the Impala.

"So what do we do next?" Sam asked.

The siblings sat on the back of the Impala and thought over their next battle strategy. "Well, lets go ask around again. Someone needs to keep an eye on the Janitor though." Both Sam and Dean looked to their sister who glared at them.

"Oh no. No, no no. That means you want me-" Jayne groaned unhappily, like a kid being forced to eat vegetables.

"It works out that the Janitor totally has a thing for you, but if that dickwad tries any funny things on you let me know." Dean told her, patting her head.

"Sammy!" She whined, looking to her other brother for help.

Sam sighed. "Sorry, but he has a point. We need someone to watch over the Janitor and cross him off our suspect list."

Jayne stomped her foot, crossing her arms. "Fine."

"Have fun and behave!" Dean teased, waving her off as they walked over to the student bar. Jayne's reply was a raspberry at him before looking to the Hall with disgust and admitting to defeat as she walked herself inside.

The Janitor was walking down the stairs with a broom, but stopped, surprised to see her back here again. "What brings you back here sweet cheeks?"

"I-I'll take you up on that offer." Jayne said through gritted teeth.

"Sorry, what was that?" The Janitor asked, not fully understanding what she said.

Jayne cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure. "I said I'll take you up on that...date."

The Janitor applauded happily. "Yes! Meet me here at 7 tonight and I'll take you somewhere fancy. Do you have any preferences?"

"Um no." Jayne replied.

Bobby shook his head at this, seeing the annoyed look Jayne was giving. "Well that seems like all fun."

"No." Jayne said, shaking her head.

"Come on, you think he's cute." Dean nugged his sister who glared at him.

"So...? Doesn't mean I like him though."

"If you're done teasing your sister," Bobby started, looking to Dean. "What else happened?"

"Aliens."

"Aliens?" Bobby asked, finding this all to be ridiculous now.

The brothers went on to explain talking to a student named Curtis in the bar who told them about having aliens abduct him, probe him and even dance with him. Their spaceship apparently left a crater outside the building the next day. During this time Jayne was on her date with the Janitor who met her outside the college wearing a suit.

Jayne was dropped off by her brothers in the Impala wearing her silky prom dress from high school that showed a little of her back. Her brothers convinced her to get really dressed up for the occasion. Jayne wasn't looking forward to this at all, wanting to just get it over with quickly.

"Remember, tell me if he pulls anything on you. We'll come kick his ass." Dean and Sam reminded her as they waved her away.

The Janitor didn't take his eyes off of her except to drive them to the restaurant they would be dining at. It was a classy five star restaurant causing Jayne to look wide-eyed, wondering how he could afford something like this. Taking their seats, he finally commented to her. "You look lovely tonight."

"Um, thank you." Jayne sighed, holding the menu up and pretending to look really hard at it. She started feeling bad for the rude way she was acting towards him. "You look nice as well." She commented, hoping that was better. Just because she didn't want to go on a date didn't mean she had to be rude to this guy. He hadn't even done anything wrong yet. "Sorry for my behavior...I'm just nervous."

"Never been on a date before?" He asked.

Jayne shook her head. "No, not really. This would be my first."

"Well, I'm honored to be your first date. Hopefully I don't screw this up."

She shook her head, chuckling. "So far I'm impressed to be honest."

"Really?" He looked to her happily.

"Yeah." Jayne said, smiling. "No offense, but how can a Janitor afford things like this? It's almost like you don't spend any money."

They both chuckled at this as he explained. "I just use my money wisely and save it. It's simple."

"Oh dang, how rude of me. I forgot to ask your name."

"Loki." He replied.

Jayne chuckled. "Just like the norse god of mischief. That's awesome. I'm really into mythology and stuff like that."

"I actually chose it for myself and since then that's who I have been. Didn't like my real name."

A waiter brought over some expensive looking chocolates and cakes causing Jayne's mouth to instantly water. She was a real sucker for sweets, especially chocolate. It was like heaven.

"Go ahead, have as much as you like." Loki gestured to her.

"I wasn't expecting sweets, thank you." Jayne took a bite of the chocolate cake and closed her eyes, groaning happily. "Damn, that's good stuff. I love sweets."

Loki chuckled. "What a coincidence, so do I!"

The two continued to stuff their faces with sweets and talk to each other into the night. Jayne was actually starting to enjoy herself on the date despite her thoughts of it earlier. Talking to Loki was like a piece of cake and learning about each other helped them bond. Surprisingly enough they found out they had a lot in common, with some disagreements in between on some matters, but it made Jayne feel like there was someone out there who could relate with her.

Loki sat back, listening intently to her still. He asked, "You like angels?"

"Yeah, it's kinda been my thing since I was 13. I just find them fascinating."

"Who's your favorite angel?" Loki asked, intrigued to hear what she had to say.

"Favorite...oh that's a hard question. They are all very unique and special in their own way."

"You gotta have a favorite." He chuckled, teasing her.

Jayne thought on it for a minute before responding. "If I had to choose maybe Michael and Gabriel."

Loki looked taken back. "Michael, really? I can understand Gabriel, but why Michael?"

"He's like the main angel, the first of them all and a leader. He's kinda cool. He also helped Joan of Arc." Jayne chuckled, replying.

Loki rolled his eyes, sighing. "Sure, but don't you like Gabriel better?"

"Yeah." Jayne nodded, chuckling. "I think he is my guardian angel...well at least I think of him like one to me." She started turning red, embarrassed at admitting it. "Silly, right?"

"No," Loki said earnestly. "it's not silly. I think he's a lucky angel to watch over someone like you. You're pretty amazing."

This took Jayne by surprise, not helping her blushing cheeks as is. "Thank you Loki."

"You're most welcome."

Jayne looked to her phone that was going off from a text message Sam sent about his trouble with Dean. She sighed, looking agitated.

"What's wrong?" Loki asked, genuinely concerned.

"It's my brothers, I think they are fighting again."

"This a usual thing for you?"

"As of late, yes." Jayne replied, putting her phone back in her purse. "I don't like them fighting. I mean, it's usual for siblings to bicker here and there, but I can't stand it. I don't want it to lead to us being torn apart from each other again."

Loki grabbed her hands to help comfort her, startling Jayne at first, but after seeing the sympathetic look he was giving her it seemed to comfort her. "It's okay, I know how you feel. They are probably just fighting over something stupid and need to forgive each other and move on. They are family after all. I have 3 brothers and they...well they couldn't realize that."

"At least you know where I'm coming from on this as well." Jayne smiled brightly. "God, we have so much in common from sweets, to talks about angels, and now our brothers fighting a lot. It's weird, but it's also good to know I have someone who can relate with me. Makes me feel less alone."

"I couldn't agree more with you." Loki replied.

Jayne started to get up. "Sorry, but I need to get back to them and try to stop them from killing each other. Could you give me a ride back please?"

Loki nodded, following after her. "It's no problem, I can do that."

The next day Jayne tags along with her brothers to investigate this "Alien Abduction" that happened, looking at a big round burned patch of grass. Things were just starting to get stranger.

"I'm telling you, Dean, this was made by some kind of jet engine," Sam said, pointing it out to his brother.

"You mean some saucer-shaped jet engine?" Dean asked, sarcastically.

"It definitely looks like it could be it." Jayne paused, shaking her head. "This is just freakin nuts, then again, that's right up our alley."

Dean sighed, throwing his hands in the air. "What the hell. No, seriously, what the hell?"

"I mean first the haunting and now this? The timing alone, there's got to be some sort of connection here." Sam asked, watching as Jayne started poking around, looking for any signs.

"What you mean between the angry spirit and the sexed-up ET?" Dean spat, annoyed by all this.

"I mean what could the connection possibly be?" Sam asked.

"I have no freakin clue dude." Dean replied, shaking his head. They were getting no where with this.

Jayne came back to their side. "There's nothing odd in it, no clues or evidence left behind indicating tools were used."

Dean sighed. "Alright then, back to the drawing board. Let's go ask the students more question." He saw the Janitor walking up the stairs in the building and motioned to his sister. "You go talk to your date and see if he knows anything about...aliens."

"Stop teasing me!" Jayne yelled at him, walking up the stairs, into the building.

Loki was mopping an area upstairs when Jayne spoke up. "H-Hey again."

He looked to her, leaning on his mop with a smile. "Hey there. Wasn't expecting to see you here again, I'm glad though."

"I was wondering if you knew what happened to the grass outside on the front lawn? It almost looks like aliens landed there or something." Jayne asked, walking up to him.

"That would be funny if that were the case, but I have no idea. Maybe the lawns keeper accidentally drove on it or something." Loki replied, keeping his eyes on her.

"Okay, just wondering."

Loki changed the subject. "I really enjoyed last night by the way."

"I did as well." Jayne replied, smiling to him. "I didn't know how much fun dating could be."

"We could always do it again." Loki suggested, hopefully, throwing out that option for her.

Jayne looked at him, dejectedly. She knew she wouldn't be able to keep this up because she was always on the move with her brothers going to different states, and not only that, but the way her life was in general. She didn't want to bring someone into this dangerous way she lived unless she they knew how to survive it.

"I'd like to, but I can't." She told him.

Loki, crestfallen, nodded. "It's ok, it was worth a try though."

"I'll be seeing you around."

"You sure will." Loki replied, hidden meaning behind his words.

Back at the motel, the brothers sat down, lost on what could be causing all these strange things. Jayne took a tea out of their mini fridge and sat on the counter. First haunted buildings, now aliens. What next?

"Still doesn't make a lick of sense. But hey, at least there's one connection." Dean started, looking to his siblings.

"Between what?" Sam asked.

"The victims," Dean stated. "They're both dicks."

"That's a connection?" Sam asked, raising an eyebrow.

Jayne suddenly spit out her drink, causing her brothers to look at her worriedly. The Slayer got up off the counter, her eyes wide. "Dean might actually have a point here."

Dean pointed at Sam, exclaiming. "Ah-ha!" Sam glared at him.

Jayne explained it. "Think about it Sammy, first the professor who dates college girls and brings them up to his room, which he shouldn't be doing in the first place. Second, this frat boy who got abducted by aliens because he was tough on his members."

Sam nodded, starting to see it. "Okay, so let's look it up and see what we can find with that connection." He walked over to his bed, raising an eyebrow. Looking around the motel, trying to find his laptop with no luck. "Where's my laptop?" Sam asked.

"Didn't you leave it on your bed?" Jayne asked back.

"It's not over here."

"I don't know." Dean replied, going over to his bed and drinking a beer. "Those guys got what was coming to them." Dean said, looking to Jayne. "These punishments, they're almost poetic. Actually that'd be a limmerick…"

"Okay..." Sam sighed, frustrated at this point. "Hilarious. Where'd you hide it Dean?"

"What, your computer?"

"Yeah. Jayne wouldn't do something like that. So, where'd you hide it?"

"Why would I take your computer?"

"Because no one else could have, Dean! We keep the door locked, we never let any maids in."

"This is when their bickering started..." Jayne told Bobby.

The hunter looked to Dean. "Did you steal his computer?"

"It serves him right, but no."

"Well I didn't lose it, cause I don't lose things."

"Oh that's right, yeah, 'cause he's Mr. Perfect." Dean said, pointing at Sam.

Jayne sighed, standing up. "You're family you two, stop fighting and start acting like it!"

Bobby nodded in agreement to her and asked "Okay, okay, why don't you just tell me what happened next?"

"There was one more victim," Dean started. The brothers began to sit down, realizing how upset their sister was again.

"Right, right, and we didn't see this one ourselves, either. But we kinda put it together from the evidence. This guy, he was a research scientist. Animal testing." Sam added in.

"Yeah, you know, a dick," Dean said, motioning to his sister. ""Which fits the pattern."

They go on to explain how they went to the morgue to check it out and confirmed that it was an alligator that killed the last victim. Stories say that it got the man from the sewer. So the brothers started searching the sewers to try to make sense of this. Dean explained that when they were leaving after finding nothing that's how he found Sam's money clip by his Impala where the tires were flattened.

The brothers returned to the motel where Jayne was waiting for them after getting back from checking the victims place where he lived.

"And after that is when you showed up Bobby...Now you're all caught up." Jayne told him.

Bobby raised an eyebrow, looking between the siblings."I'm surprised at you two," He sighed. "I really am. Sam, first off, Dean did not steal your computer."

"But I-"

"Shhh!"

"And Dean, Sam did not touch your car." Bobby stood up, shaking his head. "And if you two had bothered to pull your heads out of your asses, it all would've been pretty clear."

Jayne's brows furrowed along with her brothers.

"What you're dealing with." Bobby pointed out to them, thinking it was already obvious at this point. "You got a trickster on your hands."

"That's what I thought!" Dean exclaimed, lying.

Jayne face palmed herself, feeling stupid for not realizing it. "Damn, that's right. I remember Mick telling me about them during our training."

Bobby nodded, continuing. "But let me tell you, you two were the biggest clue." He said, pointing to Sam and Dean.

"What do you mean?" Sam asked, confused.

"These things create chaos and mischief as easy as breathing. And it's got you so turned around, and at each other's throats, you can't even think straight."

"The laptop." Sam said, sighing.

"The tires." Dean said.

"It knows you're onto it." Bobby told them. "And it's been playing you like fiddles."

"So what is it, spirit? Demon? What?" Dean asked, totally lost.

"More like demi-gods, really," Bobby begins. He lists a few deities, including Loki in Scandinavia. "There's dozens of them. They're immortal, and they can create things out of thin air, things as real as you and me, and make them vanish just as quick."

Jayne's eyes went wide, starting to put the pieces of the puzzle together as she listened.

"You mean like an angry spirit, or an alien, or an alligator?" Dean asked, continuing to talk with Bobby.

"The victims fit the MO too," Bobby continued "Tricksters target the high and the mighty. Knock 'em down a peg. Usually with a sense of humour. Deadly pranks, things like that."

"Bobby, what do these things look like?"

"Lots of things, but human, mostly."

Jayne turned to Bobby, her blue eyes wide. She hesitantly asked. "Do they have a huge sweet tooth by chance?"

The boys turned to her as Bobby replied. "Yes."

"Fuck!" She spat, facepalming herself.

"The only human that's been at ground zero this whole time is your Janitor buddy." Dean said, walking up to his sister.

Jayne nodded, confirming. "He even said his name was Loki. How could I be so dumb?"

"Even you were played

by this trickster." Bobby pointed out to her, causing Jayne to frown.

And here she had thought she found someone genuine who had something in common with her. Someone she could relate with. She wanted to laugh over the irony that the first guy she had ever dated turned out to be a trickster just trying to get to her. Jayne couldn't help but feel deeply hurt by this, feeling like she poured herself out to someone and was just being used. Worse of all was she told him how her brothers fighting made her feel, yet he was the cause of it.

The Slayer also felt angry as she finally remembered something from Mick's studies about Tricksters and how to kill them. She grabbed her wooden stake, looking to her brothers and Bobby with fire in her eyes. "Let's get us a Trickster."

In his apartment, looking at a magazine with all sorts of different headlines; aliens to alligators, Loki comes across one that says Cannibal Madman Chainsaws Family! "Oh!" He exclaimed. "That's a good one!"

He whistles to his dog and then stands up, scratching the dogs ears. "Did you eat? I could eat." He heads over to a table where there is tons of cakes, fruit, and chocolate. "Something's missing." He said as two women appear next to him and start to feed him the food.

"It's still feels off." He states, frowning. He grabs a cake as the two women disappear and walks over to another room where a picture of Jayne is hanging on a wall. She is smiling and looks carefree. It looks professionally done, not candid. Loki looks to it, smiling happily. "That's my girl."

The dog comes running up to him, whimpering.

"I know. I should tell her who I am, but I can't. Not yet. I have to keep her protected."

The next day their plan went into motion as Sam and Dean went to Crawford Hall to see the Janitor once again.

"Sorry I'm dragging a little ass today, boys," Loki said, chuckling. "Had quite the night last night, if you catch my drift."

"Yeah, hard not to." Dean said, rolling his eyes.

"How's Jayne doing?" Loki interrupted, asking.

"She's fine." Dean said abruptly. "Listen we won't be long, we've just gotta check a couple of offices up on three." He motions at Sam behind the janitor's back.

"Oh, damn, I forgot something in the truck. You know what, I'll catch up with you guys," Sam said, leaving through the door. Dean and Loki continued to walk up the stairs as Sam snuck back in, sneaking down to the lockers. He finally finds one with Weekly World News inside with a picture of a UFO on the front.

Outside Crawford Hall Jayne has been waiting for them in the Impala for her brothers. They start to come out, talking among each other as she gets out of the car.

"Look, Bobby said Tricksters have sweet tooth, Jayne even confirmed this herself after the date she went on with him!" Dean exclaimed.

"Well I didn't find any candy bars," Sam argued. "Or sugar."

"Yeah, that's probably cause you missed something." Dean said, rolling his eyes at Sam.

Jayne went between them, stopping them. "Don't you two start again or I swear! What were you guys doing? Why do you assume he is this trickster?"

"Because-"

"No stop! I'm done with you two bickering among each other. Now you're going after someone I dated because you can't seem to stop starting fights."

"Well, if he wouldn't mess with my stuff and just admit to his crime, I'd let it go." Dean stated, pointing at Sam.

Sam sighed, rolling his eyes. "Are you really still pissed at me because of what the trickster did?"

"Yeah, I am!"

Sam put a hand up to stop his siblings. "Look, just stay here, keep an eye on the janitor, I'll go to his place and see if I can find any actual evidence, before you go barging in staking the man!"

Jayne smiled warmly to her brother. "Thank you Sammy."

"Just wait till I get back, okay?"

"Okay, whatever." Dean replied. Sam walked to the car and Dean and Jayne went separate ways after she rolled her eyes at her older brother. Loki was watching all of this take hold from the window. Jayne felt like something was watching her and looked up to the window where he stood watching her. She smiled and waved up at him, as he did the same in return. Jayne turned around and frowned, while he kept his smile.

Now their plan was in motion.

It's nighttime and freezing cold outside as Dean and Jayne wait at the Hall for Sam to return. Dean keeps pacing around, impatient. "Wait time is it?"

"It's still the same time I told you before. 7:01 pm."

"What's taking them so damn long?" Dean said, continuing to pace.

Jayne sighed, flipping her wooden stake dipped with blood in the air. "Traffic maybe?"

"Screw this!" Dean said, annoyed as he headed up the steps.

Jayne following behind him. "Wait for me."

They went inside the hall, taking out a flashlight. Going up and down the stairs, investigating the area until music is heard playing. "That's your cue." Jayne whispered to him.

Dean nodded and started heading into a door where the theatre was. Down on the stage there's a big red heart-shaped bed and there's two women sitting on it. Dean goes inside further, looking around. "We've been waiting for you, Dean," said one of the women, and they move forward.

"You guys aren't real". Dean stated, chuckling. "You know I'm a sucker for happy endings, but really I'm gonna have to pass."

"They're a peace offering," said a voice behind Dean, and he turns to see the janitor sitting in the theatre. "I know what you and your brother and sister do. I've been around a while. Run into your kind before."

That was Jayne's cue to sneak into the theatre since the Trickster was now out and distracted. She continued to listen quietly to the conversation while sneaking about. She was going to stake the Trickster.

"Well then you know that I can't let you keep hurting people." Dean warned him.

"Come on," Loki exclaimed, rolling his eyes."Those people got what was comin' to them. But you and Sam, I like you. I do. Especially your sister, Jayne." He whistled. "What a woman. So treat yourself. As long as you want. Just long enough for me to move onto the next town."

"Yeah, I don't think I can let you do that."

"I don't want to hurt you," Loki warned him, sitting back in his chair. "And you know that I can. Jayne would be sad over it."

Dean rolled his eyes. "As if you care for her."

"I do care for her!" Loki spat, causing Jayne to pause in her sneaking.

"You're lying. If you really did, why play a trick on her and ask her out on a date?"

"Because I honestly wanted to get to know her more. It was no trick at all. The only tricks I pulled were on you, Sam and the others." Loki spoke, giving a heartfelt look.

Dean chuckled, shaking his head. "Yeah sure. Look man, I gotta tell you, I dig your style. I mean – and the slow dancing alien?" This caused Jayne to snap out of her trance and continue on. Dean trying his damn hardest not to look at his sister, seeing her getting closer to the Trickster.

Loki and Dean both laughed together at this. "One of my personal favourites."

Dean stopped laughing, narrowing his eyes. "Yeah, but I still can't let you."

The Trickster waved his finger. "Like I said, I liked you. But Sam was right. You shouldn't have come alone."

"Well, I'll agree with you there." Dean said when suddenly Sam and Bobby burst through the doors. Jayne had managed to hide down when Loki looked behind her to see the guys without him noticing her. She sighed in relief.

"That fight you guys had outside, that was a trick?" Loki asked, finally realizing he had been tricked. Dean smiled and shrugged. "Hmm,not bad. But you wanna see a real trick?" Loki snapped his fingers.

Suddenly a man holding a chainsaw appears behind Sam. Dean goes forward to stab him, but one of the women on the bed grabbed him and threw him aside. Bobby and Sam fight with the chainsaw man as Dean is being beat up by the two women. Jayne manages to avoid getting hit or stepped on during the fight, finally appearing directly behind him. The trickster is laughing as it all happens, not noticing Jayne behind him. Finally Dean is thrown and hits into some of the chairs, and they stop coming after him.

"Nice toss ladies!" Loki said, applauding them. "Nice show!"

Jayne went to go stab him behind the back when he suddenly puts his hands up, grabbing her wrist, and tossing her over him, onto the ground. A slight sharp pain resides in Jayne's back and head from the impact. Her wooden stake had managed to fly out of her hands, across the floor.

"Sorry, sugar, I didn't want to do that, but you shouldn't go stabbing someone after the first date!" Loki said, his tone of voice cracking with emotion. "I honestly thought we had a connection."

Jayne looks to the Trickster, eyes furious. "I thought we did as well, but I see you're full of nothing but tricks and games."

"Never with you."

"Stop it!" Jayne yelled, feeling that mix of hurt and anger again. "I trusted you Loki. I opened up to you about everything and here you are trying to tear my family apart after."

Loki stood up from his chair. "I'm not trying to, they just have problems between each other they need to work out. If anything they are causing it themselves."

"You need to stop Loki, now!" Jayne told him, standing her ground. "What you're doing to my brothers is one thing, but killing people is crossing the line. Whether they deserve it or not."

Loki and Jayne looked silent between each other, both looking conflicted over the other. Finally Loki spoke. "I don't want to have to hurt you Jayne, I really don't."

Sam throws the wooden stake on the ground to Dean who jumps up and stabs it into the Trickster's chest. "Then you don't have to." Dean replied.

The creatures that were chasing them disappeared, leaving the hunters and slayer alone in the room with the Tricksters body. Jayne still looked to him, her mind re-playing what had happened between them. Dean put a hand on her shoulder, snapping her out of it. "You okay Jayne?"

"Y-Yeah." She replied. They began to leave the room, Jayne walking by slowly, looking to Loki's dead body once more. "Sorry."

They all got in the Impala and called it a night. Jayne was completely silent on the way back, closing her eyes.

Inside the Crawford Hall theatre, someone walks up to the body as it begins to disappear itself. It was Loki, still well and alive, eating a chocolate bar. A warm smile comes to his lips. "What a girl that Jayne is."

Author's note: Next chapter we see Gabriel/Loki again, except this time it has completely original material in it. Mick will also be coming back, finally being a constant in Jayne's life, yet he does something that makes her re-think her trust in him. It makes Gabriel/Loki, her guardian angel, have to sweep in and try to save her without blowing his cover.

Find out what this terrible thing could be in the next chapter!
