I don't own Supernatural or any of it's characters. I only own Isabeau and my own original characters.
Later, the six of them are walking backstage. "EVP." Eugene says. All three brothers got to hear the recordings.
"From the night of Brad's stage dive. All of a sudden, you're getting electromagnetic readings up the wazoo. For some reason, it's a legit haunting now." Isabeau shoves one of her hands in her jean pocket as the other swings around the rosary.
"Well, who's the ghost, guys? What's it want?" Sam asks aloud.
Dean glances back at him, "I don't know. I think we should take a look at Brad's death scene."
Outside in the lot, Dean leads the others to one of the trailers. Once inside, Dean pops a DVD into the television as everyone else finds a place to sit around the TV.
Isabeau takes a seat on the small coffee table across from the TV, "Hey, where'd you get this DVD?"
Dean takes a seat next to her, "They're called dailies. I got it from Cindy. She's kind of got this on-and-off thing going with Drew. He dubbed me an extra copy." He takes off his headset.
They watch the footage of the scene, complete with Brad's surprise entrance. "All right, here's where the guy fell through the roof." Dean points out.
"Right." Sam agrees.
Dean rewinds the DVD, "All right, here we go."
"They must have super-hearing." Mitch says from the tape.
Suddenly, Brad falls through the ceiling of the set, hanging by a noose. "Hey, wait, go back, go back." Sam points at the TV, commanding Dean.
Dean rewinds the tape again.
"Right after. Right aft- yeah right. Wait. There." Sam demands.
Dean pauses the frame. On the screen, we see a completely different set and standing in the far corner of the set, is the ghostly white woman who led Brad to his death.
"It's like "Three Men and a Baby" all over again." Dean says.
Sam looks at him, confused.
"Selleck, Danson, and Guttenberg. And... I don't know who played the baby." Dean trails off.
"Lisa and Michelle Blair… they always try to get twins to play baby roles." Alphonse informs them.
Sam nods and then turns to Dean, "What's your point?"
"There's a scene in the movie where people say that the, the camera caught a ghost on film. Apparently, in the background of one of the scenes, there was this boy that nobody remembers from set. Spirit photography." Dean explains.
Isabeau tilts her head at the woman, "I've seen her before."
Behind the movie set, Dean has his headset in place and is sitting with Sam, Isabeau and the boys at a table. Isabeau hands him a print-out of an article, "Here. Check this out."
Dean smiles as he speaks into his headset, "Yeah, go for Ozzy… No, I don't have a 20 on Tara, I think she's 10-100... Okay, copy that."
Isabeau blinks and waves her hand, making Dean's headset fly into it. She sets it down and gives him a look.
Isabeau's brothers chuckle at their sisters actions.
Dean swallows, "I'm sorry, what were you saying?"
Isabeau narrows her yes, "You're not off the hook yet." She hands him the print-out, "Elise Drummond – starlet back in the thirties. Had an affair with a studio exec. He uses her up, fires her, leaves her destitute, so Elise hangs herself from Stage 9's rafters, right into a scene they're shooting."
"Just like our man, Brad. So, what, she's got it in for the studio brass?" Dean asks.
Sam shrugs, placing his hand on Isabeau's thigh, "Possibly. I mean, it's a motive. And Brad's death matches hers exactly."
"We're digging tonight, aren't we?" Dean asks.
"Yes!" Alphonse, Eugene and Dion exclaim excitedly, the three of them somehow making a three-way high-five actually work.
Isabeau chuckles, "And I thought I was the weird one."
Later, the crew is cleaning up for the day. "That's a wrap, people! 6:00 AM call for crew tomorrow!" A set worker shouts out.
"Great work, everybody! McG, you're a genius." Jay says and shakes McG's hand, "You're kicking ass and taking names."
McG nods and starts to walk away, "Night, Jay."
Sam, Dean, Isabeau and the boys are walking through the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Sam and Dean with shovels in hand.
"Which way?" Sam asks.
Isabeau reads a map, "Uh... over here." She points to a distance away from them and they walk a little further.
"Hey." Dean calls out.
Sam turns to look at him, "Yeah?"
Dean gestures to a memorial for Humpty Dumpty and looks over Isabeau's shoulder to look at the map, "This map is totally worth the five bucks! Hey, we've gotta go check out Johnny Ramone's grave when we're done here."
"You wanna dig him up, too?" Eugene asks, handling a ball of fire in his hands as he walks with his brothers.
"Bite your tongue, heathen!" Isabeau scolds playfully, earning laughter from her brothers.
"Oh, that's cool." Dean comments as they pass by another memorial.
"You know, guys, what I don't get is why now? I mean, after seventy-five years, Elise Drummond suddenly goes homicidal, you know? Why this movie?" Sam asks.
"Well, maybe she's mad they're making a scary ghost flick." Dean says as they all search for Elise's headstone.
Isabeau furrows her brow, discarding the map and crouching down to the ground. Her fingers slide into the blade of grass and smiles when she hears voices greeting her happily.
Her brothers watch on in curiosity. None of them had the ability to talk to nature like their sister. Or even talk to insects and reptiles. They wondered where that part came from and why they didn't have the same ability.
Sam smiles, "Come on, is it really that scary?"
Isabeau stands up and walks in the direction that the grass told her to go. She stops when she stands in front of a headstone, "Here we go."
The others come up behind here. "Yep. All right." Sam says.
"Yahtzee." Dean says with a smile and they start digging.
Sam and Dean have finished digging.
Isabeau hops down into the grave with Dean, and opens the coffin to see Elise's corpse. She looks up at her brothers and points to the corpse, "Do you kids want to do the honors?"
Her brothers nod enthusiastically; Alphonse grabbing the salt and Dion grabbing the kerosene.
Isabeau and Dean climb out and the three adults let the boys finish the job. Alphonse and Dion pour their choices onto the corpse and Eugene takes the ball of fire he has in his hands and throws it onto the corpse, lighting it on fire.
Isabeau smiles, proud of her brothers, "Come here you, gremlins." She pulls them in for a sibling hug, all of them smiling.
Sam and Dean smile fondly at the four of them. They were a weird group of siblings, but they enjoyed hunting, making the best of it.
"Anyone got any marshmallows?" Dion asks, looking up at his sister.
Sam and Dean laugh as Isabeau ruffles his hair. Eugene and Alphonse smile at their little brother.
They were a weird bunch, that was for sure.
The six of them watch as the police examine the crime scene where Jay was killed. "Run-in with a giant fan. Same thing happened to an electrician back in '66, a guy named Billy Beard." Sam explains.
"What the hell, dude?" Dean asks.
Isabeau sighs, "I don't know. Doesn't seem like Elise this time, either. It's not her M.O." She only wished she could go over there, then she could use her powers to figure out what exactly happened.
Alphonse shoves his hands in his jacket pockets, "No, we already torched her. So, what, are we dealing with another ghost?"
Sam shrugs, "Maybe."
Dean shakes his head, "Yeah, but these things don't usually tag-team."
Outside in the lot, McG is getting out of his car. He gathers the cast and crew, including Dean, Sam, Isabeau and the boys, "Everybody! Gather around, okay! I've got an announcement to make."
He hands his car keys to a P.A., "Hold that for me."
McG calls out, "Everyone! Huddle in! In light of Jay's accident last night, and in cooperation with the authorities, we're shutting down production for a few days."
Everyone around the six of them groans.
"I know, I know. Look, I'm not gonna lie to you. We've had a few setbacks this week. But we all know what Jay and Brad wanted more than anything. And that was to see Hell Hazers 2: The Reckoning on screens all across America!" McG shouts.
Isabeau leans into Sam, rubbing her temple with one hand. It amazed her how dumb humans can be at times.
Sam's hand slides underneath Isabeau's shirt and rubs the small of her back in small circles.
"Now, we owe it to them to go on, and to pull together and make this damn movie, huh?" McG asks with an encouraging smile.
There is cheers and applause from the crowd. The small group put on fake smiles, clapping along to go along with everyone else.
"But – but but but not today. Go home. Someone will call you." McG says and everyone breaks away.
Sam, Isabeau and Dion are back inside the trailer, watching more of the dailies. Sam is sitting on the couch with Isabeau curled into his side and his arm hooked around her waist. Dion is sitting next to Isabeau, playing absentmindedly with Isabeau's rosary that was attached to her wrist.
"Wendy" is reading in Latin when she is interrupted by "Kendra", "Wendy, don't."
Wendy laughs, "What are you, afraid of ghosts? Come on, it'll be fun."
Isabeau stares at the movie deadpan, genuinely not enjoying any part of this movie. And it looked like Sam and Dion were on the same page.
Dean, Alphonse and Eugene enter. Both Alphonse and Eugene jump onto the couch, joining their siblings and Sam.
"Hey." Dean greets. He can't help but smile a little when he sees all of them on the couch.
"Hey. So, you find out where the electrician's buried?" Sam asks.
Eugene shifts on the couch, "He wasn't. Billy Beard was cremated."
Sam glances over, "Great. Now what?"
Dean takes a water bottle out of the fridge and joins the rest of them, sitting on the arm of the couch, "No idea. Any more ghost cameos in the dailies?"
Isabeau sighs, resting her head on Sam's chest, "Not in the first six hours."
Sam rests his own head on top of hers, "You know, maybe the spirits are trying to shut down the movie 'cause they think it sucks. 'Cause, I mean, it kind of does."
Isabeau smiles a little at Sam's sass.
"Come on, it'll be fun." Wendy says and she continues reading in Latin. Isabeau suddenly notices something and takes the remote from Sam, rewinding the tape.
She sits up and listens closer to the Latin, "Listen to the invocation. Guys, that's the real deal – a necromantic summoning ritual." She pats Eugene, "You did hear Latin, bud. Terrible Latin, but still Latin. What the hell is that doing in a Hollywood movie?"
INT. MOVIE STUDIOS
Marty, the writer, is on the phone in his office, "No, dude, we're down for a few days - force majeure... Yeah. It's cool, though. Gives me time to pitch that time-travel thing... Yeah. All right, well look, get back to me on this, all right? Seriously... No, I'm serious... Dude, are you serious? 'Cause I'm serious."
He notices Sam, Isabeau, Dean and the boys at the door, "All right. Cool." He hangs up, "Guys, we're all shut down. What are you still doing here?"
"Yeah, um," Sam smiles, "...Sorry, man. We– we– we couldn't help ourselves. We just had to tell you that we read the script."
Marty smiles, "And?"
"Yeah." Sam nods, "It's – uh – it's awesome."
"Awesome." Dean smiles.
Isabeau forces a smile, "Really awesome." Her brothers go along with them, nodding in agreement.
Marty smiles at the flattery, "I know, it's pretty rockin', right? I'm glad you guys liked it."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I really liked, uh, all the attention to detail." Sam says.
Marty nods, leaning against his desk, "Dude, right on, that's my thing. I mean, you know, color me guilty, but that is me. I'm, I'm, I'm a total detail buff."
Isabeau smiles politely, "No, I can tell. I mean, the way you worked in all those, all those Enochian summoning rituals and all the authentic language."
Marty's smile fades, "What, you mean that Latin crap?" Isabeau and her brothers frown at his words. Latin wasn't crap.
Marty shakes his head, "No, man, that's Walter. Walter Dixon, the original writer. You like that garbage?"
"Wait, "Walter the P.A." Walter?" Dean asks.
Marty circles around his desk, taking a seat, "No, he's not a P.A. He's got a clause in his contract that allows him to come on set."
Isabeau narrows her eyes, "But he wrote the invocations?"
"He wrote a whack-job screenplay. There's no pace, there's no love interest, it's all wackadoo exposition. I had to cut, like, ninety percent of it to make it readable, the other ten percent to make it good." Marty explains with a smile.
The group forces out smiles once again at Marty.
Later, the six of them are reading Walter's screenplay, Lord of the Dead.
"Should've kept Walter's original script. It's actually pretty good." Dean says.
Isabeau flips through a couple of pages, "Yeah. And it reads like a how-to manual of conjuration, like a textbook on how to summon ghosts and get them to do whatever you want. Jesus, reminds me of college."
Dean turns and gives her a questioning glance. Even Sam raises a brow in curiosity.
Isabeau purses her lips, she glances over at her brothers, "Boys, cover your ears."
Her brothers follow her orders and she turns back to her boyfriends, "A group of my college friends got high one night and decided to raid my belongings, finding one of my grimoires. And let's just say it did look like a sleepover horror movies, but with less sex."
"No sexy pillow fights beforehand?" Dean grins.
Isabeau huffs out a laugh as Sam sends his brother a warning glare, "No, sorry. Sexy pillow fights are reserved for the coven. Though it wasn't the first time something supernatural happened in college."
"No? What else happened?" Sam asks.
Isabeau waves a dismissive hand at Sam, "I will say, ghosts, ghoulies and anything weird that could happen, happened. But, that's a conversation for another day."
She turns and gives a thumbs up to her brothers, and they uncover their ears, going back to the scripts in their hands.
Sam sets his script on the table, "So, let's say somewhere down the line, Walter learned some pretty black magic."
Dean turns to his brother, "Yeah. And let's say he's pissed at these people for wrecking his movie."
Isabeau snaps, "Motive and means."
"It's worth checking out." Dean declares.
Marty is walking among the forest scenery and spots Walter, "So, you wanted to meet?" Walter doesn't respond. "Hey, I'm a little busy here, buddy. I'm working on a script." Marty says.
"Oh, yeah. You guys worked on it a lot." Walter says bitterly.
Marty nods, "It needed work. Now, why couldn't we have done this in my office?"
"You know, the history, the lore in my draft was completely accurate. We could've gotten it right for the first time ever in this whorehouse of a town. But, you tore it to shreds. You replaced it with cleavage and fart jokes." Walter sighs, "It was real."
"Who gives a rat's ass about "real"? We're talking about ghosts here, Walter. There's no such thing." Marty says.
Walter steps forward, "That's where you're wrong, Martin."
He raises his hand, holding a talisman, and begins chanting in Latin.
Marty rolls his eyes, "Okay, nutjob. End of meeting." He turns around and comes face-to-face with the same ghost that killed Jay and he screams.
The fans turn on and Marty is on the ground, being dragged by the ghost towards the fans, "Oh, God, no! Please, no!"
"You ruined it, Martin! Everything I worked for!" Walter shouts.
"Oh, oh, oh. Oh, God! Walter!"
Walter smiles, "Now you're gonna find out what being a ghost is really like."
Marty looks back, begging, "Walter, please! Walter, help me! Heeeeeee–"
Just as he is inches away from the fan, a shotgun goes off, blasting the ghost away. Dean approaches, weapon in hand, while Sam turns off the fan. Isabeau walks behind him, her eyes glowing violet. She told her brothers to stay out of the way for the time being.
Marty looks at Dean in relief, "You are one hell of a P.A."
"Yeah, I know." Dean lends Marty a hand, helping him up.
Isabeau growls and that's when Marty notices her glowing eyes, "Woah." He whispers out.
"What are you doing?" Walter asks, fearful.
Isabeau's eyes glow a little bit brighter as she stalks toward him, "I could ask you the same thing, Walter."
Walter begins climbing up the stairs to the scaffolding.
Isabeau continues, "Raising these spirits from the dead? Making them murder for you? That's playing with fire, Walter."
Walter shakes his head, "You don't understand."
"You know what? You're right, I don't understand." Isabeau says as Walter continues up the scaffolding.
"Just... wait, look. You put your heart and soul into something, years of hard work. It's years, and then they take it! And they crap all over it!" Walter exclaims.
Dean and Sam look at Marty, who shakes his head like Walter doesn't know what he's talking about.
"And then – and then they want you to smile and say, "Thank you"." Walter says.
Isabeau raises her hands, "Walter, listen. It's just a movie. That's it."
Walter scoffs, "Look... I've got nothing against you. You're not part of this. Just please, please, just leave. But Martin's gotta stay."
"Sorry, can't do that. It's not that we like him or anything, it's... just a matter of principle." Dean growls out.
"Then I'm sorry, too." Walter raises the talisman again.
Sam steps forward, "Walter. Walter, pl- Don't."
Walter begins chanting. The set begins to shake, and three ghosts appear, including the man who murdered Jay.
"Sam! Beau!" Dean shouts and the two walk over. Dean raises his shotgun. The ghosts, all of whom are mangled in some way, begin walking closer, "Come on, come on!"
Suddenly, they disappear. Then, out of nowhere, Sam is knocked to the floor - the ghosts are now invisible.
"Sam!" Isabeau exclaims as Dean helps him up, "Come on, come on! Move!"
Isabeau is suddenly ranked back and screams as she feels a hand grip the back of her hair, pulling her to the ground and dragging her away, "Sam! Dean!"
Both brothers turn and their eyes widen in fear at Isabeau being dragged, "Beau!" Both of them shout and break out into a sprint to help her.
Isabeau pulled away from one of the ghosts' grip by any invisible force and she no longer felt the hand gripping her hair.
She looks over as all three of her brothers come into view, Alphonse and Dion's eyes glowing violet as Eugene's glow a fiery orange. Alphonse and Dion have their hands raised as the ghost who dragged Isabeau visibly flickers.
Dean and Sam run over and help Isabeau stand while her brothers come up to them. "Sorry, couldn't sit back and do nothing." Alphonse says as they all watch the ghost walk towards them.
Isabeau huffs, "It's fine. Come on, we gotta go."
The six of them and Marty begin running away while the lights on set begin shorting out, lots of sparks flying. The seven of them run into another building and shut the door behind them.
Dean reloads his gun and quotes Bruce Willis as "John McClane" from "Die Hard", with accent and all, "'Come out to the coast! We'll get together, have a few laughs!'" He says sarcastically.
Then Dean turns around and realizes the building they entered is actually just the set for the abandoned house. It's completely open on the other wall – they haven't actually reached any real shelter, "Oh, man!"
"I can't believe this. Ghosts are real!" Marty says out of breath.
Isabeau's eyes change from their glowing violet to now match Eugene's fiery orange, "What makes you say that?" She asks him.
Marty stares at Isabeau and then his gaze moves to her brothers, all of them with glowing eyes, "What the hell are you guys?"
Isabeau exchanges a look with her brothers and she shrugs, "A mixture of witches and fire elementals. Take your pick."
They look around, ready to fight. Marty shakes his head, his mind getting back on the ghosts, "But I don't understand. How is Walter controlling them?"
Sam breathes heavily, "Probably that talisman."
Suddenly, Sam takes out his cell phone.
"What are you doing?" Marty asks.
"I mean, if film cameras pick these suckers up, then... maybe, uh…" Sam trails off.
Isabeau smiles at her boyfriend, "Genius, really."
Sam uses his cell phone camera to scan the room. He suddenly sees one of the ghosts a few feet away, heading straight for Dean.
"Dean! Right there!" Sam shouts, pointing and Dean shoots it. The ghost disappears from Sam's cell.
"Got him." Sam confirms.
Isabeau moves her brothers behind her, keeping them safe.
Sam picks up another ghost, "Hey! Right there!"
Dean shoots again. They then notice Walter walking around the upper level.
Sam hands his phone to Marty, "Here, you get the idea?"
Marty nods, "Yeah."
"All right, you hold them off. I'm going after Walter." Sam says.
Isabeau grabs Sam's hand before he could leave the set, "Ah, we're going, Stretch."
Sam looks down at Isabeau's free hand, seeing Eugene smiling as he holds it. "We have a faster way."
Isabeau and Eugene's eyes glow a little brighter and in a flash, the three of them have transformed into a large ball of fire and they fly out of the set towards Walter.
Marty watches them go with fascination, "I cannot believe there's an afterlife and…" He glances at Alphonse and Dion whose eyes are still glowing violet, "Whatever they are."
"Witches and elementals." Alphonse frowns at Marty.
Dean cocks his gun, "Oh, there's an afterlife, all right. But mostly, it's a pain in the ass."
Marty keeps scanning the room with the phone, "There!" Marty ducks to his left as Dean shoots.
Walter leaves the set through the back exit and comes face-to-face with Sam, Isabeau and Eugene.
"It's over, Walter. Now give it to me." Sam steps forward.
Walter throws the talisman on the ground, shattering it, "There! Okay, now no one can have it."
Eugene shakes his head, his eyes stop glowing, "I wouldn't have done that if I were you."
"Oh, yeah?"
Sam nods, backing away slowly, "Yeah."
"And why not?" Walter asks.
Isabeau's eyes change back to glowing violet and the broken pieces of the talisman flies into her open palms, "Because you just freed them."
Marty, Dean, Alphonse and Dion join them outside.
Isabeau continues, "We can't stop them now. Walter, you brought them back, forced them to murder. They're not gonna be very happy with you." Her eyes stop glowing when all the pieces are in her hands.
"Yeah? So, why not?" Walter asks, backing away.
He suddenly falls to the ground and begins screaming in pain. Blood begins to seep through his clothing. Marty raises the cell phone and sees all of the ghosts tearing Walter apart.
Isabeau frowns, looking at her brothers who were unfazed by the events unfolding in front of them. Children in the supernatural and hunter life never got childhood innocence, and it will never change.
A few days later, the crew resumed filming. "Kendra" and "Mitch" are now in the abandoned house. "Kendra" is scanning the room with her cell phone, the same kind as Sam has.
"Oh, God. Oh, God. There!" Kendra exclaims.
"Mitch" shoots and from the sidelines, McG is watching, ecstatic.
"But I don't understand. How can the spirits appear in the camera phone?" Kendra asks.
"The video must pick up their frequencies in a way that our eyes can't." Mitch guesses.
"Oh, God. Oh, God. Right there!" Kendra shouts again.
Mitch shoots again.
"Cut! Oh, print that one. That's in the movie! Oh! Loved it, kids. Loved it." McG exclaims happily.
Marty, Sam and the boys are also watching from the sidelines. "You find out there's an afterlife, and this is what you do with it?" Sam asks.
Marty looks up from texting, grinning, "I needed a little jazz on the page. Plus, we added some extra characters, you know, witches and some elementals."
The three brothers roll their eyes; again, humans were sometimes idiots.
Sam and the boys are walking among the trailers. When he passes the trailer they were in, the door opens, and Dean and Isabeau come out, clearly disheveled.
Dean smirks as Isabeau fixes her clothes and hair sheepishly, "Sorry, he's one hell of a P.A." She jokes.
Dean smiles, placing a kiss on her temple, "Thank you, sweetheart."
Sam just shakes his head fondly, "Couldn't wait, could you?"
The two shrug while Isabeau's brothers grimace at the three, "Gross." They all say in unison.
Isabeau places her hands on her hips, "Watch it, believe me I'll be feeling the same when you guys tell me you got partners."
Their faces fall and they sheepishly smile at their older sister. Too late on that one.
Isabeau blinks at her brother's silence, "No…" She smiles brightly, "You guys have crushes don't you?!"
Alphonse's eyes widen, "Run." He tells his brothers and they break off into a sprint, running away from their sister.
Isabeau laughs, chasing after them, "You three get back here!" Her brothers laugh as Isabeau tries to chase them down.
Sam and Dean laugh as they watch the siblings, "Think we should help her?" Sam asks.
Dean shrugs, walking in the direction that the four siblings were running around, "I'm letting the boys have a head start."
"You two better help me or you are both in the dog house!" Isabeau shouts, pointing at her boyfriends.
Sam shakes his head, "Now we help." They break out into smiles and help Isabeau round up her brothers, teasing them as they make their way back to the impala and off to a week of relaxation back home until they set off again on another hunt.
Hollywood Babylon done and over with! I also wanted to incorporate Alphonse, Eugene, and Dion since all three of them are now getting older and are starting to really get into hunting. Plus, after this is one more filler chapter and then it's the rest of the episodes from there. All together, "What Is and What Should Never Be" is going to be mostly rewritten to fit Isabeau in and also the three's relationship, so I am excited for that one, but that comes after "Folsom Prison Blues". And then after that is the last two episodes. Only four left!
Also, not ready for Supernatural to come back in October. It looks so emotional and I was ready to cry. Also, I've only watched the first episode of Season 15 and I'm waiting for it to be completely out in November to watch the entire season all at once. So, please don't say anything about Season 15 cause I have seen none of it yet.
Feedback is my motivation.
Hope you all enjoyed!
