Advertisement
(Based off Season 3x14)
Waking up in the morning Calliope finds her body entangled in Deans and something about it feels comforting to her. She smiles at him sleeping beside her, and she reaches over grazing her fingers through his hair. His eyes slowly open, and she quickly moves her hand away, "Sorry" she whispers to him not wanting to wake Sam.
"No, I uh I liked it" he quietly replies half smiling at her.
"Thank you Dean, for this, I just was upset, and needed some comfort, and now with this new threat of Lilith out there, I'm even more scared" she says to him.
"I'm glad I could help Callie" he says giving her that usual Dean charm smile.
"Don't expect anything out of this though" she tells him.
"I wouldn't, I only got a few more months anyway" he says to her, and she just smiles back at him before moving closer and giving him a light kiss on the lips. Dean pulls her closer to him, almost wanting more like he usually does with women, but something about Calliope makes him pull way.
"I'm sorry" he then says as he quickly sits up in the bed, Calliope doing the same.
"Dean, there is no need to be sorry" she whispers to him, still not wanting to wake Sam up.
"I know, I just we shouldn't" Dean mumbles as he then gets up off the bed, going to get dressed. Calliope sits there as Dean gathers some clothes and heads to the bathroom. She thinks over what just happened, how stupid they had been to even try anything, not only because Sam was right beside them, but because they shouldn't get to close.
"Morning" she suddenly hears Sam say.
"Oh hey morning" Calliope says to him.
"You, uh, you okay?" he asks.
"Yeah, just waiting for Dean to finish in the bathroom" she says, as she grabs her clothes from the day before. Dean comes out and they both avoid eye contact as Calliope goes in.
Calliope and the boys make their way back to Bobby's neither of them saying a word to one another. Pulling up to Bobby's they all get out, heading inside, "Well I'll be damned, where the hell did you go?" Bobby asks seeing Calliope.
"Honestly Bobby I have no freaking idea" Calliope tells him, "I fell asleep and woke up in a jail cell with these two. I need a shower" she says as she walks upstairs.
By the time Calliope had cleaned up and gotten dressed, she came back down to see that the boys had already gone. "Wow, they didn't even want to say bye" she says as she comes into the den seeing that Bobby has books all open on his desk. "Yeah, something about heading out for another case." Bobby says to her.
"I'm guessing they told you about our new threat" she says as she comes over and gets a book off the desk and sits down on the couch.
"Yeah, just another mess we gotta try and save these boys from. Still happy you stuck around with these boys" he smiles at her.
"It's been so much better than being out there on my own, and now that I know I'm also somehow a target for Lilith, I best be sticking around" she says as she starts reading, looking for any lore on Lilith.
Weeks later, Callie sat in the den, reading up on more Lilith lore, when Bobby tells her about a case he came across, that she thinks she should work, and he tells her the boys are going to work on it to. Bobby convinces her that she needs to get out and work cases, because being stuck up in the house wasn't good for her. She agreed with doing it, and quickly packed her bag, and headed out in her car.

"Be safe Calliope" Bobby tells her.
"I'll try to Bobby" she tells him as she hugs the old man good-bye. Calliope got into her car and headed off, toward the case she was being sent to. She sent Sam a quick text letting him know she was on her way and would met them at home where the first death occurred. It didn't take her long to get there, as she parks her car right behind the boys. She steps out, as the boys do the same, she avoids making eye contact with Dean, the kiss still on her mind.
"Hey" is all she says as the make their way toward the front door.
"It's good to see you Callie" Sam says to her.
"It's good to finally be out of Bobby's house" she replies as they knock on the door, waiting for the women to answer the door. After the door opens, and they explain who they really aren't, they follow the women inside.
"I found him there" Mrs Waters tells them pointing to where her dead husband was.
"Why don't you tell us everything you saw Mrs Waters?" Dean asks the women.
"You mean beside my dead husband?" she asks him.
"Just explain everything you saw to us Mrs Waters, please" Callie says to the women.
"Blood. Everywhere. The phone was ripped from the wall, his favourite scotch on the desk. What else could you possibly want to know" she asks them.
"Why was the phone ripped from the wall?" Sam asks her.
"I don't know" the women replies to them.
"You mind if I take a look?" Sam asks her as he goes over to the phone.
"I already went over this with the other detectives" she tells them.
"We know ma'am we just want to be through that's all" Calliope tells her as she looks around the room, for anything susupisious.
Sam plays with the phone, "Ma'am, what time did your husband die?" he asks her.
The women sighs, "Sometime after 11" she answers.
"What about strange phone calls? Recieve any of those lately, weird interference, static, anything like that?" Dean asks her, seeing Sam play with the phone.
"No" she says very defensively.
Calliope gives her a hard look, "No" Mrs Waters replies again.
"Mrs Waters please understand that withholding information from police that can be a big fine." Calliope tells her sensing she's holding back something.
She takes a minute, "A couple weeks ago, uh..that was this" she stops for a minute.
"This what?" Dean asks her.
"I woke up one morning, I heard Ben in his study. I thought he was talking to a women" she explains.
"What made you think that?" Sam ask Mrs Waters.
"Because he kept calling her Linda. The thing is, I picked up the other line and nobody was there, Ben was talking to nobody" she explains to them.
"There was nothing?" Sam asks.
"Just static" she replies.
"Did you ever ask your husband about this?" Calliope asks her.
"No. I should have but...no" she tells her.
"Did he ever say who Linda was?" Sam then asks.
Mrs. Waters starts to get upset, "What difference does it make, there was nobody on the other end!"
Calliope looks at the boys, hinting they should leave. "Mrs Waters, thank you for your time, if you think of anything at all, please don't hesitate to call" she says and they all leave.
"So, got any ideas?" Dean asks her as they head to their cars.
"Not really" Calliope says as she goes to her car.

"Well let's try and figure out who this Linda was, want to meet us at the nearby motel" Dean suggests to her.
"Uh, yeah no problem, share a room, or should I get my own" she asks him.
"That's up to you, we got a cot in our room" Sam then says.
"With you two then, saves me some money" she smiles as she gets into her car. She watches as the boys get into the Impala, and she turns on her car. She follows them to the nearby motel, parking her car beside theirs. She gets out, grabs her bags out of the back, and heads inside the room behind Sam and Dean. Placing her bags on the bed closes to the bathroom, with a thud, earning a look from Dean.
"How much did you bring?" Dean asks her.
"Clothes, books, weapons, you know the usual" she shrugs her shoulders at him, as she takes a book out, looking to see if anything can explain what was going on. She sits down on the bed, as Dean looks on the laptop. It doesn't take long till they hear Dean say something, "Linda's a babe. Or, was". Sam and Calliope both look up, and Calliope comes over to see what he was looking at.
"You found who Linda was?" she asks.
"Yeah, Linda Bateman, she and Ben Waters were high school sweethearts" he explains to her.
"So what happened?" Sam asks.
Calliope reads the news article Dean had brought up, "There was an accident, drunk driver, Linda didn't make it, and Ben walked away." She tells him.
"So, what then dead flame calls to chat?" Sam asks.
"You would think, but Linda was cremated. So why's she still floating around?" Dean asks.
"You got me" Sam tells his brother, and Calliope just shrugs.
"Did you find anything on the last phone call, the caller ID?" Calliope looks over at Sam asking.
"Turns out, its uh phone number" he says showing them.
"No phone number I've ever seen" Dean says to him.
"It's an odd phone number" Calliope says.
"Yeah, cause it's all about a century old, back from when phones had cranks" Sam explains to them.
"So why use that number to reach out and touch someone?" Dean asks.
"Got me there too, but we should put a trace on it" Sam says to him.
"How do we put a trace on something that is over 100 years old?" Calliope asks him.
"Uhh I might have an idea?" Sam says to them.
After they got changed into suits, they all go in the Impala, and Sam takes them to the nearest telephone company building. The three of them, follow one of the men that they met down a set of stairs. "We don't get many folks form HQ down here" the man says to them.
"Yes, well the main office mentioned that there would be lunch" Dean smiles at the man, and Calliope gives him a quizzical look behind the man's face and Dean shrugs.
"Well I'm sure we can arrange something. The man you wanna be speaking to is right this.." the man tells them as Sam and Calliope swipe flies away from their faces.
"I know, sorry. We've got something of a hygiene issue done here if you ask me" the man says.
The four of them enter the basement office, "Stewie? What did I tell you about keeping this place clean" the man says as they see a young guy, who has several monitors open with porn sites. He is quickly closing them all down, as they entered he tries to quickly clean his desk off.
"Spam mail..spam mail..spam mail.." Stewie says as they go to him.
"Stewie Meyers. Mr Campbell, Mr Rami, and Miss Williams" he tells him.
"I don't know how all this got here.." Stewie tries to defend himself still clicking on screens to close.
The man who brought them down, flicks the back of Stewies head, "From headquarters." Stewie spins around in his chair, and quickly corsses his legs, placing his hands together on his lap.
"Give these kind people whatever they need" the gentlemen tells him.
"Yeah" Stewie says.
"Thank you" Dean says.
"Thanks" Sam and Calliope say together as the man leaves them with Stewie.
"So..can I help you?" Stewie asks them. Dean then looks around making sure it was just them, then gestures to the screen that was still left open on a porn site.
"Is that,ahh, BustyAsianBeauties.com?" Dean says smirking at Stewie.
"No" he quickly denies, as they hear a women moan on the screen. Calliope gives both Dean and Stewie a look of disgust. "Maybe" Stewie then tries to make it go away.
"A word of the wise? Platinum memebership, worth every penny?" Dean tells him nodding, and Calliope lightly hits him.
"Back on topic, Mr Campbell" she says to him.
"Right, anyway. We are here to trace a number" Sam tells Stewie passing him the phone number he had gotten earlier.
"Where did you get this?" Stewie asks him.
"Off caller ID" San tells him.
"Oh no, that's impossible" Stewie says to them.
"It hasn't been used in a few years, we know" Dean tells him.
"A few years? It's prehistoric. Trust me, nobody is using this number anymore" Stewie tells him.
"Sure, Could you run it anyway?" Sam asks him.
"Sure, why don't I just rearrange my whole life first?" he says rudely. The three of them share a look as Calliope goes closer to him.
"Look, Stewie. You have like six different employee code violations down here, not to mention the very disturbing porn that is most likely clogging up your hard drive. So do you want to get in trouble, or are you going to run those numbers" she says as she gets close into his face.
"Okay, whatever, jeez!" he says as he turns around to face his monitors. He starts typing away on them, and the screen fills up with a long list of numbers.
"Holy crap!" he says suddenly.
"What is it?" Calliope asks.
"I can't tell you where the number comes from, but I can tell you where it's been going?" Stewie tells them.
"What do you mean?" Sam asks. Stewie then prints a paper, getting up going to the printer, and hands it to Sam.
"Ten different numbers in the past few weeks, all got calls from the same number" he tells them. He then walks back over to the computer and sits down, looking at them, "So, are we done here? Cause I was..sort of..busy?" he asks.
"Right" Dean smirks at him and they leave the basement.
"Okay, so spilt up, you two figure out who talked to these numbers, meanwhile I stay back at the motel, and figure out why this strange number is calling people" Calliope orders them, and they just stare at her.
"Uh..did you just order us" Dean says to her.
"Yes, yes I am" she says as she opens the back door and gets into the Impala. She waits as the boys look at one another then get into the car. They drive Calliope back to the motel as the boys split up the 10 phone numbers, Calliope took out her laptop, and sat on the one bed looking into ways that the dead could be communicating with the living.
She brought up any research but was getting bogus sites, from people claiming to able to talk to the dead, for money. As she sat there looking up ghost lore, and poltergeists, haunting people, when her phones begins to ring. Without even looking at it, she picks it up assuming it's Dean or Sam, and answers it.
"What's up?" she says and she doesn't get a response. All she starts to hear is static, "Dean, if you are trying to screw with me, so help me." She says to him.
"Calliope...Calliope" she hears a voice say.
"Mom" she says shocked at hearing her mother's voice.
"Calliope?" she then hears her father say.
"Dad" she then says and felt tears swell up in her eyes. She then hears the call ends, and she drops her phone in shock. She sits there unsure how to fully understand what just took place, when it rings again and she lets out a yelp. Slowly she reaches for the phone as it keeps ringing, picking it up she looks at the number this time, and sees its Dean.
"Dean, hey" she says her voice shaking.
"Calliope what's wrong?" he says sensing she was upset.
"Uh, I really don't know, are you almost done, I need someone here please" she tells him,
"Uh, yeah let me just check in with Sam and I'll be right there" he says to her.
"Okay, thanks Dean" she says as she hangs up the phone then waits for Dean to come to her.

8 120The Flame in the Forge (A Slice of Life Isekai LitRPG)
Thrown into a world he doesn’t recognise, Niall Vendra has to adapt, learn and fight to survive. Physically, emotionally, personally. If Niall wants to save his family, then the man he was needs to transform. Surrounded by Minotaurs, Fae and Magic, Niall will have to reinvent himself as both a warrior and an artisan. Growth won’t be fast and it won’t be easy, but with patience and hard work, Niall can earn the Skills, Abilities and Classes to battle his way to the top. The Flame In The Forge is a LitRPG Isekai/Portal fantasy. You should expect slice of life with conflict and an overarching mystery to be solved. Niall will be both a crafter (primarily, but not exclusively, as a blacksmith) and a fighter. There won’t be a harem. But don't worry, there will be both flames and forges! I should be clear that while this is very much LitRPG, it's story led and I have tried to make it feel believable. So, for example, the first blue box doesn't appear until chapter 6. I hope that the payoff is worth it. Compared to some LitRPGs you may find the pace rather gentle at times. There will be some periods where it feels like Niall is eking out every level and others when, for good reasons, he makes a significant leap. My goal though is to give you a satisfying story, so that dictates when and how Niall's stats and skills change. I can reassure you that I fully intend for Niall to become immensely powerful, but I want you to feel like he has earned every level in a realistic way.
