This takes place very early season three for SPN and during season five of NCIS. So, before Fresh Blood (SPN) and a few episodes after Bury Your Dead (NCIS).

NCIS/SPN

2008…

Tony was enjoying a relaxing day off. He had spent the morning catching up on sleep, played a quick pick up game of basketball with his college buddies a few hours before lunch, had a quick lunch with Ziva, Abby, and McGee, and was planning on having dinner at Gibbs' that night.

He had about an hour and a half before he was due at Gibbs', and had decided to take a run through the park. He usually went during the daytime, but today had just been so busy (or lazy depending on who was asked) that he decided a night jog was better than not jogging at all.

He drove to a small, secluded park. He parked his car in a small parking lot, made sure his doors were locked, and pocketed his keys before he began running.

He started out at a slow pace, using the lights marking the path to keep an eye out for anything he might trip over, or animals. That was all he needed, to run into a raccoon or a skunk.

He picked his pace up the further he got down the trail, checking his watch periodically to make sure he was staying within his time limit. He didn't want to be late and miss one of Gibbs' cowboy style steaks. If he had been on death row, Gibbs' cowboy style steak would be the last meal he would request. That or Ziva's lasagna, either dish would suffice.

All that 'talk' about food was making his stomach growl. Wait, Tony skidded to a halt, that wasn't my stomach. DiNozzo looked around, fearing he had disturbed a bear or something. Here he was worried about a skunk or a raccoon, when he really should have been worried about something bigger.

When the growl sounded a second time, Tony figured it was time to get back to his car. He didn't know what his chances were of out running a bear, but he did know that if he climbed a tree they couldn't follow him up. So, he decided that if it came down to it, he'd climb the closest tree, and wait out the bear.

He began running back to his car, bordering on a sprint, hearing another growl split through the air. He made a mental note to restrict his running to the daytime, and to stay clear of the forest.

He saw his car up ahead, the light shining on it like a beckon, and was just getting his keys from his pocket when he was tackled from behind.

He landed on the ground, the wind knocked out of his lungs, his keys flying out of his hands. Tony turned over onto his back, expecting to see a bear, but was surprised when he noticed a human standing above him.

Except, this human had long, sharp fingernails, silver eyes, and pointed teeth. He was also drooling and leaning down to take a bite out of Tony. DiNozzo tried to fight, but the thing swatted his hand away with enough force to nearly break his arm.

For a split second he wondered if Gibbs would start looking for him right away, no doubt this thing (and he hated that he even knew about the supernatural) was going to kill him, but was saved the trouble of finding out when a gunshot rang through the air.

The thing flew over Tony, landing in a heap next to his head. DiNozzo scrambled to his feet, snatching his keys off the ground, looking around for his savior, noticing two figures walking towards him. Thank God they didn't listen to me, he thought running a shaking hand down his face.

"I swear, it's like you're stalking me," Tony feebly joked in a slightly quaking voice just as Dean and Sam came into view.

"You're welcome," Dean replied looking down at the thing he had just killed.

"What was it?" Tony asked glancing at it, too. He was surprised (or was he?) to see the things nails, teeth, and eyes had returned to normal.

"Werewolf," Sam supplied putting his gun away.

"So, fur is optional?" DiNozzo muttered as he looked down at the body again, wondering just how many supernatural creatures resembled humans? Or how many humans were unfortunate enough to get turned into these creatures?

"We're sorry you became our bait. It was supposed to be Dean," Sam threw his brother an annoyed look, "but you ran by instead."

"Is every supernatural thing real?" Tony questioned looking between the two brothers.

"Bigfoot is a hoax," Dean said as he walked towards the body.

"At least there's that," DiNozzo responded drily, following Dean. "We've gotta call this in or something."

"You do that, but wait until Sam and I have gotten out of Dodge first."

"Naturally, I mean it's not like I've covered up anything for you guys before," Tony muttered recalling several occasions where he had to lie to keep Dean (and Sam by default) out of trouble. He was starting to feel sorry for those cops in the know on those witchy Charmed/Buffy shows.

"At least runners will be safe, now," Sam commented letting his eyes sweep across the forest, probably looking for anymore werewolves.

"Runners?" Tony was usually pretty good at keeping up with cases, but this one was news to him.

"The news called them 'animal' attacks," Dean responded as the small group headed towards the parking lot. Tony noticed neither brother had a vehicle parked in any of the spots, but that didn't mean their car wasn't around there somewhere.

"But there was one key thing the papers were neglecting to add," Sam continued as they stopped next to Tony's car.

"What?"

"No hearts," Dean supplied and Sam nodded. "Werewolves usually remove the hearts from their victims."

"Why?" Tony asked curiously.

"They eat them," Sam responded and Tony made a face. "I know, kinda gross."

"Anyway, it was nice chatting with you again," Dean said as he headed back down the small path, towards the road.

"I'm sorry we keep laying all this crap on you," Sam mumbled softly, looking back at his brother. "If you ever need any help…" the younger guy pulled out a piece of notebook paper and a pen, scribbling his number down. "Don't hesitate to call."

Tony wasn't sure he was going to be calling these two brothers anytime soon, but he took the number just to be polite. "Don't worry about it," he said looking over at Dean. He really wished he knew why he continued to help out that kid. "Just get out of here." Sam nodded and hurriedly chased after his brother.

The moment they were gone, Tony glanced down the path where they had left the body. He wondered how he was going to explain that, and figured he could always say he found the guy dead. It would eventually turn into a cold case, but at least it'd get anyone off Dean and Sam's back for a while.

With a heavy sigh, Tony pulled his cell phone from his pocket and headed back down the path to the Ginger Snaps' reject. He really hoped he never ran into those two again.

NCIS/SPN

I didn't want Tony to come off sounding nonchalant, I mean (technically) a human has been killed, but while reading through it I got that feeling. So, I am sorry if he did come off sounding slightly uncaring. Perhaps once his adrenaline wears off he'll actually start to think 'That was a human. Oh crap.'

Anyway, yes, this is early again. I have too much time on my hands. Anyway, thanks for reviewing, alerting, and all that jazz last chapter. You guys are awesome.

So, yeah, thanks for reading, I own nothing, and I gotta go.

PEACE...

P.S. I found myself hating the last two chapters, so I may be a little late getting chapter five up. But I will make sure I get it published before next Monday ends. Okay, so I don't really hate all of chapter five, but I need to tweak a lot of the stuff that happens. But, alas, I do hate chapter six. So, that one will have to be entirely rewritten. Ugh, when did I become such a snob about my writing? Oh well...
