Chapter 3: Meet Hazel

Dean studied the young woman who stood before him like he would with anyone knew that he meets. Sure she looked like a normal person but shapeshifters, vampires and werewolves all look like they are human until the very last minute. Years of being trained by John Winchester and then more years of hunting the things that go bump in the night had taught him to study everyone that he meet with a close eye. Right now he was watching Hazel in her actions and reactions around the employees of the boring insurance company that no one seemed to remember the name of.

He had noticed that Hazel seemed to be studying everyone like he had studied them when he and Sam arrived yesterday. She was talking with everyone for a good few moments before she moved on to the next person. He narrowed his eyes as Hazel started to talk with Sam. The way that she moved and talked was just sending a bad vibe down his spine after what Castiel had told him. If there was something out there that can kill Angles and they were trying to find a way to stop Michael and Lucifer from using them as their Vessels then they could be facing something worse than the Angels. He and Sam had heard from Castiel that there was a few Angles in the insurance company, but what they were doing there they did not know. Hazel showing up in the middle of this was just causing him to be cautious.

He needed to remind Sam that they were undercover and this Hazel could be supernatural. His brother was talking with her as if they had known each other for years, when they had only meet only a few moments ago. Walking towards Sam and Hazel without any hesitation he muscled his way between his brother and Hazel. He knew his brother was given him the bitch face but he was focusing on Hazel.

"Hi there!" she greeted with a huge smile on her face. Her brown hair had been wrapped into a bun with little effort. Her black jacket was buttoned closed over a white shirt. Her trousers were bootcut with black boots underneath them. Dean was surprised that Hazel could walk in those heels with little effort when he had seen many woman stumble and fall while wearing those types of shoes. Her bright blue eyes looked right into Dean's eyes and Dean thought he felt something crawl over his skin. It lasted for a brief second before it passed over him.

Dean smiled showing his teeth. He tried his best to cover the uncomfortable feeling of wearing his suit for a second day. It had only been about an hour since he had put it on but he missed his jeans and t-shirts. He was sure that if Sam had stayed at Stanford and got his degree in law he would be wearing a suit all day long as he lived a boring life. "Hi there!" he replied to her.

Hazel smile remained as she looked from Sam and back to Dean. "Are you two brothers? I swear you two look alike!" she stated as she kept looking between them.

Sam and Dean both froze at that. No one in their lives had just asked if they were brothers. Many people assumed that they were in a relationship. Hazel was the first person to see right through their façade of being close workmates. Hazel's smile dropped as well. "Or are you two just really close friends?" she asked.

Sam smiled at Hazel before he placed an large hand on her small shoulder. "We're just close friends, Hazel! You did say that you studied at the University of Stirling!" Sam said changing the subject as quickly as possible. He lead Hazel away from his brother. He glanced over his shoulder at his brother. Dean still looked shocked at what Hazel had said, and he was doing his best to hid it when more of their temporary colleagues started to walk around the meeting room.

"Yeah! I studied there for few years! I had also done history along with human biology! I had just wanted to make a difference!" Hazel replied as she took a seat at the table that Sam had lead her to.

Sam smirked back at her. "You've been busy before you came here!" he stated to her.

Hazel's smile fell and it remained away as she looked down at her hands. "It was the only thing I could do to keep away from my family, Sam! My parents wanted me to follow in our family tradition that has been going on for years since the 1800s!" she said. She was still not looking at Sam. It allowed her to hide her eyes that were glowing bright red as soon as Sam's hand came in contact with her hand her eyes changed back to their light blue.

"What did your family want you to do?" Sam asked. Unlike his brother who wanted the information told straight away, Sam preferred to learn things slowly about the people he meets and slowly come up with what the person was really like. He was more suited for dealing with people, while Dean was good at dealing with the things that go bump in the night. "I'm sure it can't be worse than what my folks wanted me to do!" he said. He was telling Hazel half the truth. He really didn't want to tip her off that his dad had wanted him to stay as a Hunter while all he had wanted to do was go to college and make a name for himself rather than being known as Sam Winchester the son of John Winchester.

Hazel took a deep breath in as she steadied herself for telling a complete stranger her past. She normally didn't open up to people after the first ten minutes of meeting them. Her friends from Stirling had only became her friends since they shared the same interest and it had taken her a good week to open up to them. She was still in contact with them even with her moving over to America. She hoped that once she got settled they can come over and see her. She hoped that her boss would allow her a holiday.

"They wanted me to be either be in the military or in the government! My dad wanted me to join the military to either be in the air force or the navy depending on how quickly I could move up the ranks. My mum wanted me to go into the government to show all the men that women can make a difference!" Hazel replied to Sam. She was once again looking at Sam. Her blue eyes not showing any signs that a second ago where bright red. "I told my parents that I didn't want to do any of that after taken a year in an training camp for the military and then working as an assistance for the First Minister of Scotland! Seeing that I was unhappy I was allowed to do what courses I wanted and now I am here!" Hazel finished explaining.

Sam sat in silence. He did not know what to say. Hazel's family sounded like John Winchester plus two. Both her mother and father wanted her to do two different things. The lights flickered for a brief second causing everyone to look up at the ceiling.

"What's wrong with the lights?" someone asked as they looked up at ceiling.

"Never mind the lights what about the computers!" someone else suddenly spoke up.

Sam and Hazel both stood up from the table that they had sat down at. Both of them watched as the computer screens began to act strangely. The computer screens froze with strange symbols that looked like they had come from an alien movie flickered across the screen. This along with the lights caused many people in the office meeting to start to panic. A few people were even thinking that this would be enough to send them home if the equipment had stopped working.

The lights flickering and the computers stopped acting strange in ten seconds. The lighting came back on to full power and the computer screens showed their usual screensaver.

"Alright everyone calm down!" Zac shouted in the middle of the room. Zac was an odd man. His greying hair was falling out of his head and he always wore a suit no matter what day it was. Castiel had told the brothers that he was not human but was in fact an Angel and he was Michael's second in command. It was through him that they could get through to Michael and end this damn Apocalypse. "Well Hazel I hope that all of this has not scared you off this morning!" Zac asked as he looked towards Hazel.

Hazel who was still standing beside Sam jumped when her name was called up. She looked over to Zac who was still keeping his human appearance up. He was smiling warmly at her waiting for her to respond. Hazel smiled warmly back at him, "No I am just ready to get the day started!" she replied warmly.

"Very good! I will show you to your office! You will be next to Dean's office!" he said as he looked over to Dean. Dean nodded his towards Hazel. "I am sure that Dean will look after you!" Zac said before he turned around and walked out of the meeting room.

Hazel looked over at Dean to see that he was staring right at her. Hazel smiled at him before she followed Zac out of the room to be led to her office.

"Hazel, do you want to meet up for lunch?" Sam shouted before she walked out of the meeting room.

Hazel stopped at the doorway. Her blue eyes looking back round at him and Sam could have sworn that they had changed colour for a brief second. But in that brief second he was sure that it was the trick of the light. "Sure! Meet across the road? I heard that there was a nice restaurant over there that is quick and easy!" she suggested.

"Sure!" Sam replied allowing Hazel to follow after Zac. He felt someone punch his shoulder to see his brother given him a knowing smirk. "What?" he asked him.

"You like her! Don't you?"

"Shut up Dean!" Sam grumbled as he walked to the door to head to his department.
