A/N: Updates should be every Monday! I decided to move them because school will be starting in a few weeks, and updates on Mondays will keep from procrastinating during the weekend.

Hopefully.

I don't know how many chapters there'll be yet, so maybe the updates won't even last into the school year. I'm not sure yet.

Enjoy the chapter!

*** I am...a-u-already deaad *** SUPERNATURAL(complete with weird creepy sounds) ***

Liv walked into the morgue, feeling fresh and slightly hungry. She hoped there was maybe going to be a fresh brain waiting for her, then thought that she shouldn't hope such things. If there was a not-so-tasty brain waiting for Liv Moore, that meant that someone had been murdered.

Sadly, there was a brain waiting for Liv. Unsadly? Liv wondered as she unslung her bag from over her shoulder and onto the rack, pulling on her labcoat a second later and marching over to the body. Food.

Ravi stood waiting for her, staring curiously down at the dead girl's face. "Ravi?" Liv asked. "Whatcha doin'?"

Ravi gestured toward the body. "This is Becky Rosen, or as she was known on the Internet, Becky Winchester. She's kind of known for writing fanfiction for a certain book series."

Liv raised her eyebrows. "What...kind of fanfiction?"

Ravi looked at her guiltily from under his eyebrows. "Um, the uh, incestuous kind."

Liv made a face, then sighed. "Seriously? And here I was thinking about eating this girl's brain."

Ravi grinned at her. "Incestuous Zombie High fanfiction, that's what you'll be writing." He paused, considering. "Actually, I'd be more than a little interested in reading that."

Liv glared at Ravi, silencing any further thought. "This book series...what's it called?"

"Supernatural. It's quite good actually, I enjoyed it very much. Good character development, awesome brotherly love, a possible romance with an angel, and a downright bloody awesome storyline. It's a great set of books."

Liv bit her lip, looking down at the corpse that was Becky Rosen. "It sounds good. I might read them someday."

Ravi grinned again. "If you eat Miss Rosen's brain, that someday will probably be tomorrow."

Liv groaned, then picked up the bone saw and slid on her goggles. She held the blade against the corpse's skull and looked over at Ravi again. "Stop me if I go too far."

"Too far with what?"

"If this brain makes me write incestuous fanfiction, have Major hogtie me to a bed or something."

"With this brain, I kind of feel like you'd both enjoy that too much."

Liv glared at her friend again, then shook her head and started the saw.

Fifteen minutes later, Liv was making brain tacos. The ground up brain was browning in the pan while she sliced tomatoes and pulled apart a head of lettuce. Another five minutes later, with tomatoes, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, and refried beans piled on top of ground up, downright hamburger-looking brains, Liv set her plate at the table and sat in front of it.

Damn, those tacos were good. While Liv had put quite a bit of spicy flavoring on the brain and sprinkled even more on the taco in place of taco sauce, the metallic taste of human brain could still be detected. It was annoying, but by now, it was not off-putting. Liv was just hungry, and actually, she was a little curious to see what this brain would be like.

She had just finished her first taco and was about to start the second when a rather deep voice called, "Is that tacos I smell?"

Liv stood quickly, setting down her taco and brushing off her hands. Before she could leave the kitchen-esque area and meet the newcomers, Clive had already led two unknown men down the stairs. The shorter of the two wandered over to where Liv stood anxiously.

"Mmm-mm, tacos." He grinned at her, and Liv felt she would have flushed if she could. Damn, this man was handsome. "Gotta love 'em, right?"

She nodded, smiling as well. He seemed nice enough. Then the man wandered over to the stove and reached toward the pan.

"N-no, wait," Liv cried, trying to save the man from eating a dead woman's brain.

He glanced back at her. "What for?"

"It's just, um, I like spicy things, and that's got like half a bottle of Cholula and another half of Tapatio dumped in it. You really don't want a bite, believe me." Well, it wasn't a lie.

He pursed his lips, thinking, then; "Eh. Imma risk it." He hand picked a piece of brain and stuck it in his mouth, chewing quickly. He wasn't aware of the horrified look Liv was giving him behind his back.

Ravi came up beside her and grimaced. "Is that...?"

Liv nodded, grimacing as well, hoping for hope's sake that the pure spiciness in the brain would be enough to get the man to not eat another piece.

Oh, yeah. It definitely was. One moment the man was calmly chewing the brain, the next he was running to the sink and spitting the food out of his mouth as quickly as possible. Liv ran to the fridge and grabbed the milk, pouring out a glass for the man while she tried to decide whether to laugh or feel bad for the guy.

He took it and chugged, trying to get rid of the pain in his mouth.

Liv giggled lightly, though nervously, and went to sit at her table. Finally, the man just looked at her. "I don't much Spanish, but um, es picantisimo. How do you eat that and not die?"

"Like this." Liv took up her taco and ate another bite, calmly chewing and swallowing. The man just looked at her in disbelief as she finished it, then put her plate in the sink.

"You must've burnt out your taste buds or something, that's all I can think." The man rubbed the back of his neck, then offered her the other. "Agent Rose, FBI."

Oh. FBI, huh? "Uh, Liv Moore, Assistant Medical Examiner."

Rose gestured to his suited friend behind him and Clive. "That there is my partner, Agent Tyler."

Tyler nodded, offering a friendly smile. Ravi clapped his hands suddenly, startling almost everyone. "So then. Clive brought you both here, I assume you're looking for someone who is presumably dead."

Tyler nodded and cleared his throat. "We were coming here to investigate the disappearance of Becky Rosen. But when we arrived at the station, we were informed that her body had been found. We'd like to see her, please."

Liv nodded. "Sure, of course." She went over to the body-freezer and opened one of the doors and pulled out the tray. The two agents gazed down at the face somberly.

"Yeah," Tyler choked. "That's her."

Liv looked at him, concerned. "Are you okay? Did you know her?"

Tyler opened and closed his mouth several times before he got any words out. "Uh, yeah, Becky was, um..."

Filling his partner's silence, Rose answered, "She was an informant of ours. She mostly worked with Tyler, here. I didn't see her that often."

Liv nodded sympathetically, then touched Tyler's arm gently. "Okay if I close it up?"

He nodded quickly, brow furrowed.

All five were silent for a moment, then Clive took a deep breath. "Well, I gotta go. There's some paperwork from our last case that needs finishing." He looked at Liv and Ravi. "Help these gentlemen out in any possible, you got me?"

Liv nodded resolutely, and Ravi said, "Of course."

Clive nodded and headed up the stairs. Liv turned back to Rose and Tyler. "What do you guys need?"

Since Tyler still seemed a little shocked, Rose answered for the both of them. "Well, for starters, was there anything odd on her body? Like, uh, weird symbols or residues?" He paused, as if considering to phrase the next question. "Anything odd about how she died?"

Liv actually hadn't gotten the chance to look over Ravi's initial report, so she simply waited for the Brit to answer. Ravi stepped forward. "No, I didn't see anything like that. The cause of death was the cut throat, though she had suffered trauma from some sort of blunt object beforehand. Whoever killed Mis Rosen hit her at the base of her skull, quite hard, too, though with an initial examination, I'd guess it was several hours beforehand."

Rose nodded, thinking. "Anything else? Anything odd...at all?"

Ravi shook his head. "Not unless you count the tattoo on her lower back, but I somehow doubt that's what you're looking for."

Tyler's brow furrowed again. "Tattoo?"

"Yeah, uh, Sam W. Forever, or something along those lines."

That seemed to shake Tyler somewhat out of his daze, and he and Rose shared an almost aggravated look. Rose turned back to Liv and Ravi with an almost forced-looking smile.

"Well, I'm sure we'll see you two again at some point." His eye caught Liv's, and he grinned for real. "Actually, I'll definitely be seeing you again." Rose pulled a card out of his pocket and wrote something on the back, then handed it to Liv. "Call me if you think of anything." The grin turned to a flirtatious smile. "Any time. Any time at all."

Liv gave the man a tolerant smile. "I'll do that, Agent. Until then, adieu."

The FBI agent grinned again, then turned on his heel and went up the stairs, followed quickly by Agent Tyler.

Ravi came around the table. "Why, Liv, I do believe that FBI agent was flirting with you."

Liv looked at the card a moment, then flicked it into the trash can. "Maybe so, but the taller one was cuter."

Ravi looked at her, amused. "Did you not see how torn up he was about Becky? Makes me think there was maybe something there. He looked to be in a lot pain."

Liv turned to him with a big grin. "Ah, and who will be there to sweep that pain away? I will!"

Ravi shook his head. "I think your current brain is making you irrational."

Liv scrunched up her face in thought, then shook her head. "Nah, I don't think so." She pulled off her coat and hung it on the rack. "I'm gonna go talk to Clive, see what he might know about any of this." She paused, half up the steps. "Uh, Ravi?"

Ravi looked up from his clipboard. "Yes, miss soon-to-write-naughty-fanfiction?"

Liv grinned. "Can I maybe borrow those books you were talking about? You know, Supernatural?"
