The brothers followed Jess's led, and Cas moved towards the bed, "Is she alright? Is she hurt?..."
"She is fine. Exhausted like you were but she has not got the same charge coming off her. She should not be here. I think she may have been too close to you when you were moved"
Sam's hands shot out the steady Jess's swaying form "It's ..my fault she here?"
"No, you had no control over it. But whatever energy was used to get your hear must have been enough to move her as well" Cas answered.
Dean's worried eyes had barely left Jess, she moved to sit on the floor next to Charley.
"She's wet...I need to get her warm" Jess whispered
"Cas?" Dean said, without having to explain what was needed he waved his hand over Charley and she was dry. Jess smiled in thanks, then, went back to studying Charley, removing the bag from over her should.
Sam couldn't help but look at the girl Charley, she had short brunette hair and a really cute face, shake it off man, focus. Sam and Dean turned to Cas "All right Cas...What is going on here? You gotta give us something" Said Sam.
"There are no more energy charges that I can find, the largest one was where I found her. She was unconscious in a field in Washington. I don't know why they are here. Or who brought you. I'll do my best to find out what I can. But these two need to be kept safe, the energy that came from getting you two here attracted a lot of attention. Some from angles and some from demons, I can guaranty that Lucifer will know of these girl arrival. In my opinion, they need to stay with you two."
"Look Cas," Dean looked a Jess "I don't mind but I mean we move around a lot and having two girls with us who don't know how to shot a gun would be too dangerous, maybe we can go to Bobby's"
Cas pointed to Jess "You still have a magical charge emanating from you. I don't know how long it will take to go but after a week or so in the one place it will attract attention. It's safer if they stay moving with you two"
Sam looked at the two girl "It's not safe to drag to defenceless girls around on hunts Cas...they could get hurt"
"We're not defenceless" All three looked a Jess, Dean fighting with the effort to roll his eyes "Look Jess we didn't mean it in a girls are week kind of way ..."
Jess sighed and looked at Dean "I know that and I didn't mean it in a way that it offended me. Charley and me, we've been doing Martial arts for years, Charley for five and I've been doing it nine. We may not have shot a gun, but you we have weapons training, bo staffs, sai's, katana swords and knives. We're not defenceless." And Sam and Deans jaws were on the floor. Ok Sam thought maybe they would be alright. Sam raised his brows to Dean, he sighed he knew that all of that sounded like they could handle themselves but the supernatural was different. "You still need to know how to work a gun"
"Ok" Jess looked to Cas "but by you asking for us to be looked after, I'm assuming we won't be going home anytime soon?"
Cas shot the brothers a slightly pleading look which surprised the boys a bit. "No, I'm afraid not. I don't know of anyone who has the power to done what has been done to you two. Or of a ritual that will send you both back to your word. I'm sorry"
Jess nodded her head resigned but only taking it so well because she had Charley here with her, safe and sound.
The three men moved towards the kitchen area giving Jess time with Charley. "Cas man I don't think keeping them with us is a good idea. Not that I'd mind" Sam smirked "You can wipe that look off your face. I saw what way you looked at that girl Charley" A blush spread across Sam's face and Dean snorted "Dude, I can't believe you still blush"
"Jerk"
"Bitch"
"They need to stay with you two" Cas said forcefully, giving the brother a pointed look.
"There something you're not telling us here Cas"
Cas looked at the two girls on the bed, "It's nothing certain but while I was trying to get her there was whispers about two girl arriving. And that they have a part to play in the apocalypse. The prophet Chuck can't see them and there is no prophesy about them. But what he did see was them with you and with you two for a long time"
"Does that mean that they never going home Cas?" asked Sam
"I don't know, but for now they are where they are safest. I'll keep watch as best I can and try find out any new information" and Cas was gone again, "We really need to get him a bell" muttered Dean.
It was still dark outside, checking the time Sam saw it was only 2am. "If we're moving outta here in the morning we need to get some shut eye. If you're driving take my bed, get some sleep."
"Don't know about you man but sleep is the last thing on my mind"
"Ye, me too"
Jess had not paid any attention to what they were saying behind her with thoughts of Charley running through her mind. So...my fault your here Charley-girl huh?...sorry baby girl looks like I dragged you with me. But on the plus side Sam and Dean are cool. Their nice and sweet, but I think they'd deny it if I said it to them, especially Dean, he gives off that mach-o man vibe. I think you'd like Sam, he gives off that ah shuck's thing you love. Sighing Jess kept on mentally talking to Charley taking her hand and giving it a squeeze. She was so lost in her thoughts that she jumped when Deans hand landed on her shoulder.
"Sorry, Jess. Listen me and Sam were talking, if your friend Charley wakes up and is feeling alright in the morning we'll all hit the road. We shouldn't really stay here any longer if we can help it, that cool with you?" Jessie nodded in agreement. "How long was I out for when I first got here?"
"Em...about three hours Jess. But Cas said that Charley didn't have it as bad as you." Sam said trying to reassure her. The two brothers stood feeling a little uncomfortable, shifting from one foot to the other, Jess thought it be best to try lighten the mood. "Well, you guys have gone from being on your own to have a bucket load of estrogen thrown at ye's. Sorry" she smiled and that got them chuckling.
Jess picked herself off the floor and sat on the edge of the bed next to Charley, Sam and Dean moved to sit on the other bed facing her. Dean looking curiously at Jess until she sent him a questioning glance "Sorry but I'm just wondering" Sam and Jess looked at him expectantly "About?..." she asked "Martial Arts? Just didn't peg you as the type"
A sad smile graced her face "I wasn't really growing up, never could understand why someone wanted to follow rules to hit someone. But my dad always had it in his head that I needed to be able to defend myself. He taught me a few things but I had a mate in the martial arts at the time and went to a few trial classes. It just kinda snowballed from then"
"And what about Charley, you said she's been doing it about five years?" Sam asked, Dean sent his little brother a smirk. No way I'll be able to mess with Dean about Jess now, he saw me blush about Charley.
Jess laughed "Ye, kinda my fault. We meet our first year in college and have basically been inseparable since, she's like my baby sister now. But she came to a few trial classes with me and then we trained together all the time, course it just got worse after we moved in together" The brothers laughed with Jess, "You've been doing it nine years, so you're probably like Bruce Lee now or something?" Dean smirk turning to a full on smile listening to Jess giggle at his question. "Bruce Lee? No, not at all but I'm good, got my full black tags and teaching three years ago. Charley just got hers a few months ago. But we don't teach just train with each other in our spare time. We work on the same ward and on the same shift team so there's very little time we spend apart"
"Huh, sounds like me and you Sammy"
"When you say shift work to you mean in a hospital?" Sam asked, Jess yawned and Dean nudged Sam with his knee "Uh...sorry guess we got carried away Jess, do you wanna go to sleep?" Jess shook her head "Nah Sam, I'm good for now. But ye we work in a hospital of sorts" Dean can't help his mind going down the gutter and asks with a cheeky smile "Nurses?" Sam scoffs under his breath
"Yep, Nurse's but in an acute mental health ward, not a general hospital" Jess smiled seeing the baffled look on the pairs faces "So no white uniforms or scrubs for us"
"That's hot"
"Dean!" Sam reproached shoving his shoulder
"What?! It is. Come on Sammy? Kick ass nurse's...literally. Even your prudish self would find that hot"
Sam blushed and shoved at Dean's shoulder again, they both looked up at Jess when they heard her giggle.
"Sorry" shrugged Dean
"It's ok, kind of a compliment really...so thanks" she winked
Dean cleared his throat, suddenly a little hot under the collar, shit...she's hot when she's sassy.
Jess suddenly looked down at Charley, she was mumbling something under her breath and shifting on the bed. Jess glanced at the brothers "Not too sure how well she's gonna take this lads, but I swear she's a sweetheart" Sam motioned to Dean with his head over to the table, they stood up and moved to sit. The table was over near the door, this way Charley would only see Jess when she woke up. Jess took Charley's hand and pat it gently trying to bring her awake slowly, she started murmuring quiet word of comfort. "Hay baby girl, you gonna wake up for me? Huh..."
Dean felt a small smile curve his lips at Jess calling Charley baby girl, reminds me of when I used to call Sammy baby boy, he thought fondly.
Charley shifts on the bed, eyes fluttering, then bolts up right and scramble her back to the head board. "Wow Charley-girl, it's me...hay look at me calm down ok?" Jess's hand snaps out to gently grab Charley by the chin and pulls her face to look at her, before she spots the two strange men in the room. "Jessie?...what happened?" Charley grabs the hand holding her face and latch's on to it. "I think I had a really weird dream" said Charley in a trembling voice "You had blood all over your face" Sam and Dean waited anxiously for the girl to realise that it was not a dream.
"Baby girl ..." Jess kept trying to grad Charley's attention before she noticed the different room and the boys sitting behind her. "Jesus that dream scared the crap outta me babes" laughed Charley. "Charley-girl listen to me..." Jess waited until Charley was focused on her, with her hand still grasping Charley's face. "...it wasn't a dream"
Charley stared at Jess, trying to decide if she was serious or not, her eye finally started to take in her surroundings and eventually landed on the two brothers sitting at the table. Sam and Dean froze as if they could disappear from the girls view.
"Who are they Jess?" Letting go of Charley's face Jess gestured to each of the boys
"That's Sam and that's Dean their brothers. They took care of me when I em...appeared here. One of their friends found you and brought you here"
"I think I need a little more than that Jessie" said Charley looking back at Jess, who sighed. "Brace yourself babe and eh...try keep an open mind too"
Between the three of them they filled Charley in on what had happened to her and Jess. Sam and Dean also gave her a quick rundown of what they filled Jess in on and broke the news to her that she was not only in a different country but a different world, where the chances of them going home, are not so good at the minute.
Charley had not been able to hold back the tears as much as Jess, a few solitary tears tracking down her faces "Oh god, Jessie...what are our families going to think? We were due at the MA place an hour after all this happened. They knew we were in our room...all of our stuff is here...and my car is still outside the B&B"
Charley's lips trembling slightly, Jess scooted up the bed next to her and draped an arm over her shoulder, pulling her into a hug. Dean shifted uncomfortably on the bed where he and Sam had moved while explaining things to Charley. Necessary chick-flick moment Dean, suck it up.
Sam shot Dean a frown knowing full well what was making him uncomfortable, Have to give him some sort of credit there's been a few emotional moments and he's only getting uncomfortable now.
Jess glanced up at the guys a small grimace on her face, Dean's breath caught in his throat at the turmoil of emotion in her eyes, What the hell is wrong with me.
Jess continued to comfort Charley, "I know it's scary baby girl...but you still got me huh?" Jess continued to whisper words of reassurance.
Sam cleared him throat awkwardly "Look, we said the same thing to Jess...me and Dean, we'll do whatever we can to fix this. We'll help in what way we can" he tried to smile encouragingly at the two girls, admittedly trying to catch Charley's eye. Charley began to nod her head listening to Jess and Sam, "Sorry" she sniffled
Dean held up his hands "No need for a sorry Charley, what you and Jess have been through the last few hours ...to be honest how cool you two are being about this is surprising"
"I'm thinking we should call Bobby Dean, see what his take on this is"
"Yeah, he might have something that can explain all this. Eh...Bobby's a close family friend, known him all our lives, so you can trust him" Dean explained to the girls. Charley look to Jess, sending a silent message of I'll go with what you think. Jess sighed and looked from Charley to the two brothers, "We're happy to trust you guys" for now, she added in her head, they may have been really nice but Jess had a habit of being wary of trusting new people. Right now they were pretty dependant of these two guys.
Dean glanced at the time, 6am, "Do you two think you'll be ok to travel today? I'm not happy with staying here, Cas said you still had like a magical charge coming off you, you appeared here so I don't want to chance that we haven't already been picked up. Sam you give Bobby a call I'll start packing the car up"
Jess pulled back from Charley and moved towards her duffle bag "I'd better get dressed then" She took out a clean set of clothes from her bag and went towards the bathroom, taking a quick look at Charley and silently asking if she was ok, Charley nodded and smiled a little.
"Eh...Jess can I ask you guys...well how much have you got packed? Have you got enough for a few days? Sam and me, we usually stop off and do laundry every few days"
Charley answered "Well actually, we're sorted for at least a week, we were supposed to be going away with a few friends for a couple of days"
"Hay we have our training gear with us too and our travel weaponry" Jess said as if she had only remembered.
"You mean your martial arts stuff?" Dean looked between the two girls who nodded in response. "Still think that's hot" murmured Dean causing Sam to frown at him across the room and the girls to laugh.
Jess moved into the bathroom and Charley studied the two brothers as they moved around the room packing up. Taking deep calming breaths Charley tried her best to rain her fear. "Can I help?" she asked timidly. Sam's head snapped around to Charley "That's ok Charley, Jess was a bit unsteady on her feet for a while...well after, so just take it easy" Sam flashed Charley a shy smile and hide his face when he blushed from her answering smile "Ok, so both of our bags are here then?"
"Yeah, when Jess got here they were both practically on top of her"
Charley frowned, "What is it?" Sam asked,
Dean paused in his trip out to the car to study Charley. "Nothing it makes sense I guess...she was leaning against them when...when she vanished" Charley clutched her hands to her stomach and pulled her legs up, shivering at the memory of the pain Jess had been in and how terrified she had been to see her gone.
Dean nudged Sam and continued to go out to the car, "You ok Charley?" she shook her head a bit, Dean walking back into the room. "Ye, I'm ok...just remembering. She was is so much pain...I swear I've never been so scared than when I seen her gone" Charley took a shuddering breath then smiled when she seen Jess coming back into the room, Jess smiled back at her and threw her a wink, causing Charley to roll her eyes.
Dean's breath caught in his throat again, Jess was wearing a plain white tee and fitted black jeans, you could see every one of her curves. Her hair was loose down her back and wavy, she's wearing no make-up again, she's not even trying and she looks...great. Charley saw that look that Dean was giving Jess and as usual Jess was oblivious to her good looks taking people breath away. Charley caught Sam's eye and flicked her gaze to Dean arching an eye brow, Sam just smirked and looked away, ah so it's not my imagination.
Jess stuffed her night clothes into her bag and remover her fitted leather jacket, throwing it on her before hoisting her bag up her shoulder. "So..." Jess trailed off noticing Charley's smug look. "Uh right...I'll grab your bag Charley, come on Jessie we'll take them out to the car" Dean said, relief washing through his body that he didn't stutter. "Ok"
Sam scanned the room quickly double checking to make sure they had everything, "How do you feel?" he asked Charley. "I feel ok, a little tired I guess but I'm good"
"You think your ok to walk?" Sam rubbed the back of his neck nervously
"Ye I think so" Charley swung her legs over the side of the bed, Sam moved closer to her just in case she needed help. Pulling herself up off the bed, Charley gasped her legs buckling, Sam reaching out to grab her before she hit the floor.
And of course, that's when Dean walked back in "Well, well we leave you kids alone for 2 minutes and this is what happens" Deans face broke out into a cheeky smile. Sam could feel his neck flush and stuttered over an excuse
"No its not...it's nothing like that Dean" Charley felt a small blush grace her face and Sam's adorable babbling. "Uh...I think I'm good Sam" Charley's legs were feeling a little funny but she was able to walk herself, Sam's face flushed dark realizing he still had his arm around her. Dean grabbed his coat and walked back out to the car chuckling, Sam and Charley following.
Charley gasped when she saw the car "Holy shit, is this yours?" Dean beamed "Yes she is". "Oh my god...Ha! Jessie you must be in heaven"
"You have no idea" Jess patting the car adoringly.
"I'm gonna bring the room key back" Dean shot Sam a smug look "think you can keep your hands to yourself for five minutes Sammy..."
Sam flushed while Dean and Charley laughed. "What?!" everyone turned to look at Jess, her hands fisted by her side and a stormy expression on her face. Sam hurried to explain himself "No...oh god...it's not...it wasn't anything like that. Charley fell and I helped her...Dean?!..."
Charley put a calming hand on Jessie's shoulder "My legs gave out on me, Sam was just helping. He was a total gentleman. I think Dean was just trying to tease his younger brother"
Dean had the sense to at least look bashful, Jessie's posture relaxed and she looked down self consciously "Oh...Sorry Sam, it's not that I don't think you're a nice guy guess I'm still a little on edge" she smiled sheepishly.
Sam breathed a sigh of relief and shot his brother a murderous look "It's ok Jess, no hard feelings" Dean started chuckling under his breath "Man you should have seen your face" Sam opening the black door for the girls, who nodded their thanks, "You try stay calm when the person pissed off at you has been doing martial arts nine years" Everyone laughed.
