Welcome to Part Four of the Glitch Series!

WHOO HOO!

This is the supernatural story; and I'm QUITE excited about it!

Are you ready? Let's do this thing!

Disclaimer: The supernatural universe; brothers, angel, and impala included, are not mine. Charlie's mine! As are a few others you might not recognize, but for the most part, I thank Erik Kripke and the Supernatural people for their wonderful creation.

"What are you doing?"

James peered over Charlie's shoulder, and she frantically covered what she'd just been scribbling down. She shot James a glare, and he shrugged.

"Sorry. So what?"

Charlie sighed heavily. "I'm making a list."

"For what?"

James leaned against the side of her desk, and Charlie sighed, knowing that meant he wasn't going anywhere.

"A hit list…if you will."

"For anything specific?" James asked, not batting an eye at Charlie's "hit list".

"The Winchesters and Cas."

"Oh."

James pulled a chair over and plopped into it, eyeing Charlie with a grin. "What you gonna do with the list?"

Charlie shrugged. "Dunno yet."

James smirked. "Do you wanna know what I think we should do?"

Charlie rolled her eyes. "No."

"I think we should check off some of those names."He answered anyway.

Charlie shook her head, a smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. "Not a chance."

"Come on Lottie!" James whined, a cheeky smile on his face, eyes bright. He was mostly healed, grown and with the knowledge of who he was and what he wanted. It made Charlie happy in the best of ways. But it worried her as well. What would she do when he got bored with her? "You said yourself you've been getting antsy. I'm antsy, my partner totally ditched me." Charlie made a face and James shrugged. "Well he did. Clint went on a solo four days ago."

Charlie narrowed her eyes. "You've been desked for four days. I've been stuck behind this desk for two months." And she had. After Sherlock's funeral, she'd needed to take an action break. But as much as she hated to admit it, James wasn't wrong about her needing a change.

"Which just proves you're antsy! C'mon, Lottie," James leaned forward so he was ridiculously close. A bright smile overtook his face. "Let's go take out some bad guys."

"Did I tell you I'm glad you're not nearly catatonic anymore?" Charlie joked. "I take it back."

James just grinned, waiting her out.

Despite herself, Charlie's frown bled into a smile. She caved. "Okay." She grabbed a jacket and jumped up, and James gallantly opened the door for her, grabbing her list as well.

James grinned. That was easy.

The first person on Charlie's list wasn't a bad guy….but he did need to be moved. She'd rescued him; (If you could glitch into heaven, what was to say you couldn't glitch elsewhere right? Like…downstairs?) and had his memories wiped, then had returned him to his home. At the time, she'd had nowhere safer to place him….now, she did.

His mother was ecstatic that he'd been offered a full scholarship for his senior year at a prestigious boarding school.

Adam Milligan wasn't as enthused.

James Barnes wasn't going to take his sass.

"It's better than Hell." He'd said flatly. And Adam had frowned, but agreed reluctantly. When his mother had shooed Adam back upstairs, she was given a more thorough explanation, and she cried with relief when she heard of how the school was protected. She'd known about the monsters….she always had, but now she didn't have to worry about her only son, and for that, she thanked the duo profusely.

After they'd gotten their feet wet, they'd proceeded to the more….difficult targets on Charlie's hit list. Unfortunately, they kept running into the very people they were protecting.

The first time it had happened, Dean and Sam were going up against a demon they'd decided to let live in the earlier timeline, a demon that had turned around and stabbed them in the back later on.

Bucky had hid in the rafters of the warehouse the Winchesters were fighting in, and Charlie had made a frontal assault through the front doors.

Charlie had splattered the demon in holy oil and Bucky had lit the fuse.

That demon had gone up in flames, and Dean and Sam stared frozen at the young woman in front of them. Charlie had grinned, shot them the Vulcan signal, and ran out.

After that, Bucky and Charlie got smart, and avoided the Winchesters as best they could.

Bucky and Charlie had too much fun running around, working on Charlie's "hit list" so much so, that when Clint returned and Bucky went back to his "partner projects", Charlie continued working a few hunts on her own whenever she got restless, which was often.

When she could take off for a day and just focus on the physical aspect of taking out a ghost or burning some bones, she lasted longer at her desk. Four more months passed in such a way.

Of course, without her back-up, she found herself running into the Winchesters more often than not.

She thought nothing of it until Cas brought up an interesting idea.

"You think I should hunt with the Winchesters for a while?" Charlie asked incredulously over her spaghetti.

Cas shrugged. "I do not think it would be a bad idea…persay."

Charlie made a face. "What brought on this idea?" She asked, not agreeing but not vetoing it either.

Cas shrugged. "Sam and I were discussing it. We agree you should not be hunting alone."

Charlie grinned. "Cas, I think I can handle myself."

"Of course you can." Cas agreed immediately. "But it doesn't hurt to have…backup. And Barnes is not always free to accompany you."

Charlie shrugged. "I don't need backup."

Cas raised a brow. "Would you allow Barnes to take a case without Barton?"

"No!" Charlie answered immediately. Then she wilted. "Oh. I see your point. Ok."

Cas frowned. "Ok?"

"Ok, if they ask me to hunt with them for a while, I'll accept."
Cas smiled. "Good."

Charlie shrugged. "Who knows? It might be fun."

She squinted. "Or at the very least; entertaining."

Now it's all down to The Winchesters...will they invite her along, or nah? (For those who are confused, James is Bucky...Charlie just calls him James.)

Next chapter up in a mo!
