Charlie Doesn’t Stop There.

~~This fic was inspired by a cute fanfic I read awhile back. I'm a complete sucker for the fluffy stuff, and @calmturquoise's "Keys" fic just triggered me to add a little to it. What would Charlie do after Dean left- and IF Astra McKinnely was to exist. I'm a massive fan of the "Team Free Will" thing so I shall be doing a lot of stuff based on that as well. Dean goes off after a djinn by himself in spite of Charlie's efforts to stop him, so after he leaves with his keys, she goes to Astra hoping she can do something.~

***At the end of @calmturquoise's "Keys"*** "Dean chuckled and headed toward the door of the bunker. Before he left, Charlie sat up quickly and called after him, “Dean!” He paused on the stairs and turned back towards her. She rolled her eyes at him. “At least call me when you get there.”

He smiled fondly and nodded. “Sure thing, Red.”

*********************** ~Charlie Doesn't Stop There~

Charlie lay in defeat, but wasn't going to give up that easy. Both boys have a horrible track record of trying to be the one man hero and it failing miserably. There are times it managed to pull off- but because someone end up being there to back them up, or they got a hit of good luck- now Dean was actually on his own.. Charlie knew she couldn't go to Sam, for he would instantly side with Dean and stop her, so she rushes to the garage to find Astra, hoping their Guardian cousin would side with her. 

In the corner of the garage messing with some car parts, with headphones in, Astra stands quietly lightly headbanging while she hits at the part to get it free 

"Astra!" Charlie says quietly with impatient aggravation in her voice.

 Astra looks up at the red head and pulls out her headphones, 

"Hey, what's the matter Muggle?" she says with concerned curiosity.

 "It's your bonehead cousin. I just suffered a 30 minute tickle torment because he refuses to take someone on his djinn hunt so i hid his keys.. He won, and just left.." she says quickly, leaving her out of breath.

Astra bites her lip to keep from laughing at the human, for she hunted solo most of her life, due to her mother or uncle not being there. But she sighed and looked up at Charlie as serious as she could.

 "Okay... So what do you want me to do about it?" she says. 

Charlie rolls her eyes

"Like you don't know? Where he's headed is like 50 miles away from here." 

Astra arches her brow and puts the car part down on the table and smirks.. She wanted Charlie to say it.

“I still don’t quite understand what you expect of me Muggle.”

Charlie already annoyed responds bitterly

“I figured we could go after Dean, just in case he needs he needs help, we’ll actually be there for backup”

Astra shakes her head now her smile showing and lowly chuckles 

"So.. You want to stalk my cousin? That’s real stable Red.." 

Charlie crosses her arms and glares

"No!!.. I want you to. Ya know.. Use your animagous magic to track him down, and possibly save him.."

 Astra sighs puts both of her arms on the work table and leans her head down in between them, peaking past them to look at Charlie, slightly amused at Charlies plan- but kind of confused.

"Now it sounds like you’re turning me into a bloodhound. If I’m doing all that,- doesn’t that mean I’m saving the day?.."

Charlie giggles 

"Noo- I'll be driving you there, I'll even dress in disguise if I have too.. And Hell- if he doesn't need help, atleast I have a clear mind knowing that we were there just in case." 

Astra runs her oily black hands through her long brown hair out of her face and sighs.

  "Fine.. But I swear if you try to put a collar on me- i'll personally rat you out.." 

Charlie blushes a giggle and looks away causing Astra gave her a wide eye glare 

"You were thinking about it??" 

Charlie bites her lip looking at Astra and shrugs. 

"Well you know.. We are going to be going under cover, Padfoot. And most places have leash laws.."

 Astra gives her a glare. "Oh to hell with that.. I don't love Dean that much.." 

Charlie also returns a glare, "No? Then I guess you won’t mind me telling Dean about the time you took his Impala out for a free ride.." 

Astra quickly stands up straight. "Okay okay.. But if i'm going I’m not wearing a damn collar" 

Charlie laughed and nodded in agreement, as they headed towards their room. Astra, slightly unamused that she was signed up into this. 

The young women proceed to sneak through the house, when they hear someone clearing their throat behind them. 

Charlie stops and slightly cringes, and Astra instinctively looks behind her to see a unamused Sam with his arms crossed.

"Where do you two think you're going.. Astra?" 

Astra chuckles and points at Charlie backing away 

"It was her idea this time..I just wasn't stopping it.." 

Charlie looks at Astra with a glare and huffs. "Jeeh thanks you traitor.. What happened to being a team?." 

Sam sighs and looks at Charlie

"Were you going after Dean?" Both girls nodded yes. 

"Yes.. I wanted Astra to help me keep an eye on him. I wouldn't intervene. Only if he needed backup." 

Sam smirks slightly at the sweet concern of the red head, but keeps his composure. 

"Charlie, you really don't need to worry, Dean has done this numerous of times- he’ll be fine... " 

Charlie looks up at Sam with big eyes- knowing that deep down Sam was worried about his brother as well.. 

"What if something happened, and none of us are there to back him up?

"..... "Then I guess that would be the end of me.." Interrupts a familiar voice.. 

Charlie and Astra both look behind them to see Dean smirking at them both? "What's the deal? I told you I'd be back.." 

Charlie tilts her head in confusion.. 

"Uh what are you doing back so fast?" 

Dean shrugs. "I was half way there, and Sam called me. Apparently it was a false alarm.." 

Then Dean  half way amused looks towards  Astra "And of all people, you really thought I needed to be saved?..." 

Astra holds her hands up to play innocent 

"Dude, Muggleborn here came to me asking for my help- I kinda couldn't refuse." 

Charlie tried to glare but hid in her blush instead. 

Leave it to Astra to throw her under the bus. Astra, who was a 21 year old girl, had the heart of a 10 year old. Has moments where she's always instigating, antagonizing, or always trouble starting with her cousins, and now Charlie as well. Luckily Charlie and her have developed a close sibling like bond. Neither had siblings so they were able to bond and bicker to make up for it.

"Well, I see it like this.. Were you going to help here?" 

Astra shrugs and looks at him with a big blue eyes "Sorta... More like be the  bloodhound that tracked you down for Charlie. " 

Dean looks at Astra in amusement, then over to Charlie and his brows furrow. "Really? You were sending her to spy on me?..”

Astra backs and ends up running into Sam and looks up at him..

"I really don’t like the face he’s giving her..  You have my back right Sam?.. ." She whispers with an amused but slightly worried tone. 

and Sam looks down at her just as amused.. "You honestly think I’d let you get away, when Charlie has to pay the price?" 

Astra shrugs confidently "Well yeah.. I didn't actually do anything yet.." 

Sam smiles at his now anxious cousin, as he looks over at Dean. 

Dean glances towards his brother and cousin with a wink, then looks over at Charlie and arches his brows smiling wickedly 

"You do recall what happened when you stole my keys right?" he says slowly walking to her. Charlie instinctively starts to back up. 

Astra over hears Dean and looks up to Sam, her eyes going wide..

"Oh no, you aren’t getting me too." 

and before Sam could grab her, lets a buzzing heat flash through her body, and drops to tan furry paws.. 

Sam chuckles knowing Astra would react that way and runs his hand through his hair

"You best watch your back Astra, because you can’t stay a dog forever.. And when you least expect it- You’ll get what’s coming to you..”

Astra cocks her ears and playfully shows her teeth, giving him a warning bark, before she wonders off to her room. Causing Sam to smile even more.

 Charlie seeing that Astra was able to get off the hook pouts 

"Padfoot, don't you dare leave me!!" 

she hollers and attempts to escape as well and fails miserably as Dean football tackles her to the floor.. 

“Oh don’t you worry, she’ll be getting hers next. But you being the ring leader in this.. You get go first..”

~Heyyy thank you for reading my poor writing. Haha I have no idea what this was, but it was a semi attempt to make something cute which was inspired by @calmturquoise 's fluffy fic "Keys". The ending is kinda jacked because after Charlie's and Astra's little meeting, I had no idea where to go after that. So hopefully that wasn't a complete eyebleeder.~
