Author's Notes: Okay, while this is not my first crossover (at least with this pen name), this is my first Charmed/Crow crossover. I'm a HUGE fan of both fandoms so I'm hoping I have everyone in character and what not. Now, for Charmed fans, it takes place probably during the fourth season give or take, and all though this was written with Brandon Lee in mind (RIP. It's been fourteen years (found out his anniversary was last Monday) can you guys believe that? How sad... Big fan of his...) this was more based on the TV series Stairway To Heaven, and I know it will never compare to the original I thought it was pretty cool. Plus, I always liked the idea of the two fandoms crossing over, so the joy of fanfiction! Pairings include: Shelly/Eric of course, and later on Phoebe and Eric, or at least implied Phoebe and Eric. And maybe a little Piper and Leo. Not really sure because this is still a work in progress. Please let me know what you guys think of this. I'm really nervous writing this thing, but very proud of it, and I promise it won't be corny. Okay, maybe a little bit, but not much! Read and review! Thankies!

Chapter One: A Vision of Death:

It had been a long day and all Phoebe wanted to do was soak in a nice warm bubble bath. She could hear the tub calling her name now. All Phoebe had to do was open the door with the key and she would be in. It was times like these she wished she had Paige's power. Then she wouldn't have to use the damn key. All she would have to do was orb in, but alas she didn't have her sister's power. She was almost done fighting with the key when something caught her attention. She looked down to see a black feather had blown on top of her foot. Phoebe bent down to examine feather, and when she touched it, a vision came to her. A vision of death.

A lovely couple who were taken way before their time. Then their grave markers. The woman stayed buried the boyfriend rose from the earth. Before her vision ended, Phoebe got a glimpse of the name of the couple: Eric Draven and Shelly Webster.

Then as quick as it came to her, she came back to reality. Phoebe had to tell her sisters about this one. She dashed into the house. "PIPER! PAIGE!"

"What's going on?" Piper asked as she came running from the kitchen.

"Do you have to yell so loud?" asked Paige once she orbed beside her.

That's when Piper noticed the feather. "Eww... Phoebe, get that thing out of the house. We don't know where that's been."

"I'd say by the look on her face, she does." pointed out Paige.

"What did you see?" Piper asked her.

Phoebe then told her of her vision. "Wait, did you say Eric Draven?" asked Paige.

"Yeah, Eric Draven and Shelly Webster." she answered.

"Why does that name ring a bell?" Paige asked.

"I don't know, I never heard of them." replied Piper.

"I haven't heard of the girl, but damn that name... I swear I've heard it before." Paige continued.

"Well, it looks like we have a zombie lurking around." Piper told her sisters. "We have dealt with worse."

"I don't think he's a zombie Piper." said Phoebe.

"What else is he then?"

"I just don't get a feeling that he's a bad zombie."

"Okay, good zombie, bad zombie, whatever. The point is we need to find this guy. I mean there is a reason you had that vision." Piper said.

"How do I find him?" asked Phoebe.

"I would say we could scry but I don't think that works for the dead, or whatever this Eric Draven character might be." Paige said.

"What about the good old fashion mortal approach?" suggested Piper with a smile.

Paige and Phoebe exchanged looks and said in unison: "Darryl."
Darryl was at his desk when the phone rang. He wasn't surprised to find that it was Piper on the other line. "Hey, what's up?"

"Hey, who's our favorite police office?"

Darryl laughed. Oh boy, he thought. He knew what was coming, a favor.

There was always a favor involved with the Halliwell sisters. "What do you want?"

"We were wondering if you could try to locate two people for us." she continued.

"Who are they?"

"Eric Draven and Shelly Webster."

Darryl thought a moment, those names sounded familiar but he couldn't place them. Then he told Piper: "All right, I can see what I can do."

"Thanks."

"I'll get back to you when I come up with something." he said.
Then the two hung up.

"He's on it." Piper told her sisters back at the manor.

"Great." said Phoebe. "I hope we can find this guy."

"Well, you know it's Darryl." Paige said. "He's like Super Cop, he can find anything."

Paige was right of course. It only took him a few days to find what they were looking for. "Hi Darryl." Piper greeted him one afternoon, a few days later after the call. "Come on in."

Darryl did as told and Piper closed the door behind him. "What did you find?" she asked.

"You know I should really be use to the whole hocus pocus stuff when it comes to you three, but I'm not use to it Piper, not by a long shot."

"But you still love us right?" asked Piper in a joking manner.

"I'm debating on that." he replied.

Piper hit him playfully, knowing that he was kidding. She then retorted: "Oh come Darryl, its just a little hocus pocus." she laughed again. "You know, I always wanted to say that."

A few seconds later Darryl had the sisters all gathered in the sisters. Daryl had thrown down the case file in front of them. Phoebe was the one who flipped through it while the other two looked over her shoulder. They were disgusted at what they saw.

"I told you, you weren't going to like it." Darryl said to them.

"Eric Draven and Shelly Webster were brutally murdered on the night before their wedding. The girl was raped, while he was got the knocked around, then-"

"Then he was tossed out of the window." Phoebe said sadly.

"Is that what you saw?" asked Darryl.

"Yeah."

Paige smiled when she found a nicer picture of the couple. They were alive, and looked very happy. Piper also gazed at it and pointed out how happy they looked. Then when Paige glanced at the picture the second time, it finally hit her. "HOLY SHIT!" she cursed.

"What is it?" asked Phoebe.

"Eric Draven!" she cried out. "I knew that name sounded familiar, hold up!"

Phoebe and Piper exchanged looks then shrugged as Paige went to retrieve something from her room. She came back holding a record in her arms. Then she showed her sisters, along with Daryl what she had. "Deadman's Joke." she explained. Then she pointed to Eric on the cover. "He was the guitarist and he sang every now and then. My friends and I loved Deadman's Joke. We were crushed when we found out he was killed."

"I never heard of them." Piper said.

"Of course you wouldn't." said Paige with an eye roll. "You don't listen to this type of music, but let me tell you, these guys are a huge hit in the underground. They're a cult classic!"

"Okay, so where does the hocus pocus come in Darryl?" asked Piper.

"I scouted out and found their graves. Myself, and a few of my men found them and did a little investigating, and Webster was right where she should be but no trace of her boyfriend. I'd figure you guys might know why."

"Not at the moment, but when we find something, we'll let you know." Piper told him.

After thanking Darryl, and after he left, the sisters gathered around the BOS and flipped through its magical pages. "No, not him. No. No. No." Piper said as she flipped through. "Vanquished him. Decapitated him..." Piper was getting frustrated. There were just too many demons out there. She couldn't wait until the world was rid of them. Then she and her sisters could go back to being normal. Well, slightly normal. Okay, so maybe not so normal. Nothing was normal when the Halliwell sisters were involved.

"THERE HE IS!" Paige yelled, causing Piper to come out of her thoughts.

"I use to have an ear." said Piper.

"You have another one." Paige pointed out.

The Three then studied the contents of the page. A crow was painting in one the corners with a moon behind it. Feathers were the page's bordered. Then below the text they saw a face in make up. Not normal make up. It looked like a dark clown mask. It was Phoebe who read the text of the page:

"It is said that when a person dies a crow carries their spirit to the other side. However, a great sadness can cause the spirit to stay earth bound taking the spirit of The Crow within them, making them invincible. Only until they feel their job is done on earth, can they return to the land of Angels, and finally be at rest." Phoebe then placed the feather she found earlier on the page so they could bookmark it for later.

Piper closed the book. "All righty then, now we know why you got the vision Pheebs."

"We have to reunite Eric with Shelly." Paige added.

Phoebe nodded. If that's what she had to do. Then she would do it. She would reunite the two tragic lovers so Eric could finally be at rest.

Author's Notes: (continued): Okay, don't be too brutal. I'm very emotional! If it's good, then by all means I'll keep going, but if its not good, then I'll stop. And sorry if any information is wrong when it concerns Deadman's Joke. Please, if anybody knows what part the character had in that band, please let me know. I love feedback! Also, the title was inspired by a song by Sarah MacLean (or however you spell her name) called Angel.
