Granny's

"So," Ruby began as she walked over to Sam sitting at the bar top, sliding him a bottle of water. "Hunters?"

Sam chuckled and looked around. Sitting at a group of tables were the seven… dwarves? Sam still couldn't get completely used to the town. The seven men were sitting around catching up with each other. It was actually really sweet. They were brothers, it was obvious. Granny, on the other hand, had a bit more bite to her than the sweet, lovable grandmother act she had during the curse. The first thing the woman did was pull out her crossbow. The nun, who was apparently the Blue Fairy, was also here with Dr. Hopper, who actually was Jiminy Cricket. There were a couple of other people coming in that Ruby would greet (or re-greet) and make them feel safe and secure. Sam had watched as Ruby took over completely as Dean, Emma, and the others had gone off to find Mr. Gold.

Ruby gave him a nudge, reminding him that she'd asked a question. "Um, yeah. Sort of. I mean, that's the basic title of our occupation."

"But instead of bears and deer it's, what? Supernatural things? I thought this world didn't have any magic?"

Sam noticed that Ruby's personality had changed dramatically since the curse had broken. While she was still outgoing and a bit flirty, she had calmed down some. She seemed more sure of herself; more mature. She took action when action needed to be taken. Something Sam was starting to really like about her.

He sighed, trying to figure out the best way to explain things. "Generally, yes. It's not really the same kind of magic that your land has, I assume. From what I've learned and experienced, there's a God and his angels and demons. And then there's other gods from ancient myths, some real, some not so real, who have their own spirits or monsters or curses. We don't really know where they come from. Our angel friend, Castiel, mentioned that there are other worlds. Some have magic, some don't. And sometimes magic seeps through."

"I see," she said with a nod. Sam was actually quite impressed. Most people didn't react this rationally. Then again, the idea to her probably wasn't so farfetched in relation to where she came from. "How long have you and your brother been hunting?"

Sam sighed, "My whole life. Remember how I told you my mom died when I was a baby? It was a demon. My dad was hell-bent on finding the evil thing that did it and learned all about the hunting lifestyle. Took my brother and me on the road with him while he pretty much killed every evil son of a bitch he crossed paths with. I can't think back to a time when I wasn't wary of the dark."

"Sounds awful," Ruby said, sympathetically. "You don't sound like you liked it very much."

"Who would?" Sam scoffed. "Only sticking around in one place no longer than a few months at a time. Hopping from school to school, hotel to hotel. Being left alone for days, sometimes weeks, at a time while dad was off god knows where hunting something. Never knowing whether he was going to come back. I hated it. What life is that?"

He looked up to meet her intent eyes watching him as he told his story. "That's why you left. When you went to college."

"I got out," he said weakly.

"Your girlfriend," her eyes already knew the answer, "Your brother wasn't just taking you on a road trip to feel better after her death, was he?"

Sam half-smiled, impressed by her intuition. "No. The same demon that killed my mom… killed her. That, and my dad had gone missing. My brother came and got me. After a year, we finally found the demon responsible. But, um – dad didn't make it. A year after that, we finally found and killed the bastard."

Ruby reached out and grabbed Sam's hand, pulling him out of his memories. He smiled at her, squeezing her hand as a thank you.

Sam's phone buzzed and he looked down at the screen. He chuckled. "Got a text from Dean: The wicked bitch of the West isn't dead, the Scooby gang and I are transporting her to the Sheriff station ATM. Everything cool over there? Anything magical or supernatural to report?" He decided to leave out the part where Dean asked if Sam and Ruby were 'playing nice'.

He send a quick response.

"So, what are the things you usually hunt?" Ruby asked after assisting some people who'd just walked in who had come from the angry mob from Regina's.

Sam felt a bit helpless. Usually in a job or case he'd be doing research or something productive. But there was nothing for him to do. "Um, all kinds of things. The most common things are ghosts and spirits who haunt people or places. We've come across a few cursed objects and places; which is what attracted us to this place, actually. Lately we've been having to deal with a lot of demons and angels. Oh, and monsters."

"What kind of monsters?" she asked, a little uneasy. He wondered if they had monsters over in her land.

He shrugged. "All kinds. Vampires, shape shifters, black dogs, pagan gods, witches, genies, rugaru, skinwalkers – god there's so many," he chuckled. "Oh, and werewolves, of course."

Ruby's smile dropped as she looked down at her hands, "Of course." Her whole demeanor seemed to change. Her shoulders were tense and Sam had noticed she'd moved back slightly from him. She cleared her throat, "And you just kill these things? Why? Because they don't belong in your world."

Sam's brow creased as he was taken aback by her sudden attitude change. "I, um. No. Well, sort of. It's more complicated than that. We find things that are killing people; evil. That's what reels us in, really. A body count. We're just trying to save people."

Ruby nodded, though she still seemed uneasy. "What are you and your brother going to do now? The curse is broken and we're still stuck here. A steaming pile of magical and supernatural characters, just sitting ducks."

"Ruby," Sam tried to reassure, reaching for her hand. Though she tensed a little, she relaxed a bit and finally looked up at him. He noticed that anger wasn't in her eyes, but fear. He realized she was fearful of her town's safety. Of her people. "We're here to help you guys. This is your turf, we're playing by your rules here. Please, don't worry. You can trust us."

She forced a smile and nodded. A ring came from Ruby's back pocket. She pulled it out and answered it. "Emma, is everything ok?... Alright… No problem. I'll be there right away."

"What's up?" Sam asked, curious.

Ruby jumped up from her seat and grabbed her car keys from behind the bar. "Emma asked if I could pick up Henry and sort of keep him out of the fire while they go find Mr. Gold."

When she left Sam felt his own phone vibrate. He looked at the ID: Bobby.

"Sam, where the hell have you and your brother been? I've been trying to get ahold of you for days and your damn cell phones haven't been working!"

"Bobby, Bobby, calm down. We're in Storybrooke, Maine. We've been here since we left your place a few days ago," Sam replied.

He heard Bobby shuffling a few papers around on the other side of the line. "You mean that bogus invisible, cursed town? You actually found it?"

"Yeah, and we broke the curse. Actually, Dean and I didn't really have anything to do with it. But get this: it's a town full of fairy tale characters."

"Are you out of your mind, boy? Or have you and Dean found yourself in Disney World?"

Sam chuckled, "No, Bobby. It's true. They were sent here from their world, the Enchanted Forest, through some kind of powerful curse. We aren't exactly sure who's responsible or why they haven't all been sent back since the curse was broken. But we are going to stick it out here until we can help them figure it out."

"This is weird, Sam. This ain't our normal line of work. You and your brother be careful and don't go doing anything brash! We don't need a bunch of pissed off fairy god mothers on our asses."

"We won't. I'm pretty sure Dean has a thing for the woman who broke the curse, so I don't think he'll try to do anything to piss her off. We might need your help if we can't figure out what's going on or how to get everyone back."

"I'll start doing some research on curses and parallel worlds. See if I can dig up anything on this Enchanted Forest. Send me the coordinates and I'll make my way over there in the next couple of days. This is definitely something that I'd like to see."

Sam laughed, "Alright Bobby. We'll keep you updated. Take care."

When Ruby got back Sam was still a little worried that she was upset with him. Perhaps he offended her with something he said; honestly, he had no clue. He tried to assure her that Dean and Sam wouldn't do anything rash. This wasn't their usual case.

If it was, they would have probably gone after Regina and accused her of being a witch for trying to kill Henry and himself. By the hunter's standards, that's what she was. But this was different. In her own world, the woman was just that - a woman. Sure, she was a witch also. But magic was allowed in her world; sorcery was allowed. Sam and Dean were in a whole new ballpark now and they were going to have to deal with these shift of rules.

Henry followed Ruby into the diner, looking positively depressed as he sulked down to the seat next to him. Ruby went to the back and fixed him up a grilled cheese after handing over a soda.

"Why so down, Henry?" Sam asked, nudging him a little, "You just helped break the curse! We should be celebrating!"

Henry groaned, "Yeah, but now I'm stuck here being babysat while all the action is out there with my family."

Sam understood the kid's pain. He used to groan and moan about being left out of cases and hunts that Dean and his dad would go on before he was old enough. "They're just going to talk to Gold to find out why he double crossed Dean and your moms, I think the dragon slaying is done."

"Pft. I know why. He's Rumplestilskin! He's always doing that," Henry said very matter-of-fact-like.

Sam chuckled. "Well, we didn't know that. Why don't you tell me a little bit more about Rumplestilskin. You probably know him better than most of the people here thanks to that book."

Henry smiled a bit and nodded. "You're probably right. OK," he said excitedly as he positioned himself towards Sam more, "First of all, he wasn't always a bad guy."

"They never are," Sam interjected.

"True! Like it says in the book: Evil isn't born, it's made." Sam was subtly shocked by that phrase. It was something that he never thought on before, though he wasn't sure if it completely applied to their line of work. "Anyway. Like, more than 300 years ago, he was just a seamstress who was married. But there was a war. An Ogre war that drafted every man no matter what their family life. While he was away he came across a seer, who told him that he was going to have a son, but his actions in the wars were going to cause him to lose him. Or something like that. So, Rumplestilskin injured himself; I'm pretty sure that's where his bad leg comes from. He was sent home to his wife and new baby boy, Baelfire. But because he bailed out of the wars, he was called a coward. A few years later, his wife ran away leaving him with just his son. When Baelfire was about to turn the drafting age, Rumplestilskin was worried that his young son was going to be sent to battle. Until someone told him of a creature called the Dark One. If you possessed his dagger, you could control him. If you killed him with the dagger, you could become him. Rumplestilskin found the dagger and killed the prior Dark One, and gained the powers himself. The powers sort of poisoned you and he began to turn evil. In an attempt to fix his father, Baelfire requested help from the Blue Fairy for a way to fix him. She gave him the very last magical bean that could transport them to other worlds, where they could be together."

"Let me guess, the kid went but Gold was too cowardly to go with him?" Sam guessed, very intrigued with the story.

Henry nodded. "I'm pretty sure he's been trying to find a way to get back to him since, though I don't know how."

"So do you pretty much know who everyone's counterpart is around here?" Sam asked as Ruby came back with Henry's food.

Henry smiled up at Ruby, who gave him a narrow glare. "I know some. Like Ruby's!"

Ruby shook her head. "I'm just Red Riding Hood."

"Just!?" Henry exclaimed.

Sam looked up at Ruby with a questionable look, but she kept her glare on Henry. "Just."

"So, who's the Big Bad Wolf, then?" Sam said with a chuckle.

Ruby shook her head. "Enough about us. We want to hear one of your stories."

"My stories?" Sam asked.

Henry began to nod vigorously as he took a few bites of his sandwich. "Oh yeah! Dean said that you would tell us some."

"Some of them are a little scary," Sam warned.

"So," Ruby and Henry said in unison.

Sam laughed and shook his head. "Alright, alright. Let me tell you about the time we hunted a Wendigo."


I wanted to add in this chapter because I felt like Sam was being left out. I'll update soon so we can get back to the action!

"Eric the Looney" Well, this crossover was inspired by the connection I made with Dean and Emma. So it's definitely going to lead to a romance between the two of them at some point, though I think it's already started some. And yes, I'm very excited to pit the two shows together and their villain/heroes.

"BA Sammy Girl: Cas vs Gold! Can't wait to see" It'll be pretty intense!

"Dede42: It used to be rare for me to wake up to a new chapter, but not anymore. I'm looking forward to see just how pissed Dean will be when he finds Cas locked up, and what he and Sam will do when they cross paths with the Wraith and they find that the usual methods won't work to destroy it. Personally, the Wraith reminds me of the Dementors in Harry Potter." I bet it will remind our boys (mainly Sam lol) about Harry Potter too! ;)

"Pri-Chan 1410: I wonder what will happen now! please update soon!" I'm glad you're enjoying it! :) I will!

"crusnik08: thank you for answering my reply but another question has bothered me if this story continues will storybrooke be there for the final battle or the war with Rachael or dick roman what about Gabriel is this before he gets shived by Lucifer and the colt would the cold work on these people if found and used?" I should put a disclaimer at the beginning of the first chapter explaining where the timelines fall for the two different stories. I'm sorry! For Once, it's near the end of Season 1, as you could tell. And for Supernatural it's about the middle/end of Season 5. After Jo and Ellen died, but before the final face off between them and Lucifer. So they're still having to deal with Michael and Lucifer wanting their vessels (as Dean explains to Emma in one of the first chapters) and the oncoming apocalypse. I hope that helped some! :)

"Grace: Dude, did you kiss me?" :)

"Guest: Mauhaha" Lol evil laughter.
