Maya is a 17 year old cop who is on the hunt for the dad, only, when she finds him, she also finds out the world in which he comes from.
The moment Maya landed back home, all she wanted to do was sleep. But, of course, the universe hated her.
She must have only been down an hour or so when, from the living room, she heard a crashing noise before the sound of apologies.
Even without the voice, Maya knew this wasn't Daisy coming in late at night after spending her free time at the bar with the rest of her colleuges - it being Saturday night and all. Usually when Daisy came in, the sound of stumbling came first from the door, the keys being thrown on the counter top before she made her way through the kitchen and down the hall towards her bedroom.
But this stranger did the opposite.
The noises began from the kitchen before they made their way around the counter, bumping into the coffee table in the living room and scrambling around for...something.
So, with a groan, Maya pulled her gun from her safe and made her way from her bedroom and into the living room/kitchen area. This was where she found the stranger stood by her window trying to force it open...from the inside?
"Freeze!"
The stranger's hands flew up into the air as they dropped the sash window shut. "Wait! Wait! Please - Please don't shoot. They-They wouldn't work anyway. But, please. Don't shoot."
"Jack?"
"Guilty." Jack smiled sheepishly.
Maya, to be honest, was more confused than usual. "What are you-?" But then she got to the window and found Dean and Sam crouched on the fire escape. "Oh, that's why."
Sighing, Maya clicked her safety on and lifted up the window from which she had to watch the two brothers struggle to climb inside since they were basically 4 times the length of the window.
"I could have shot you." Maya commented with annoyance and tiredness clear in her voice.
"Not if they're not angel-"
"Killing bullets, yeah, I know." Maya sighed. "Must have left them in my other pants. What are you doing here?"
And then there was a knock at her front door.
"That'll be Cas." Dean told her.
Maya looked between the three of them, rolling her eyes before moving to the door and opening it up.
"I told them we should have called first."
Maya nodded sleepily. "Thanks, Cas. And, he's right. You should have."
"We did." Dean told her. "You didn't pick up."
Maya stared at him with blank annoyance, thinking why she wouldn't have picked up. And then it hit her. "Gina."
"What?"
Maya shook her head. "Doesn't matter." It was the only thing Maya could think to tell them rather than explain the whole business behind the halloween heists that happen every year.
"Well, why didn't you use the stairs, like Cas?"
"We rang the bell, like, a billion times."
"It was 10."
Dean rolled his eyes. "Same thing."
"Well...if you guys are tired, Daisy's gone for the weekend so someone can use the spare bed in her office and there's a pull-out in the sofa. I'll see you in the morning."
Maya took her gun with her and placed it back in her safe before belly flopping onto her bed and practically falling fast asleep but she did manage to catch the last few words of Sam and Cas.
"Not only does she look like him, she sleeps like him, too." Sam said as Maya left the room.
"Like a bear?" Cas asked, confirming that they were thinking the same thing.
"Like a bear." Sam nodded.
By the time Maya woke up, it was 9 in the morning and she could smell cooking coming from the kitchen. Low and behold, as she entered the kitchenette, she found Dean cooking pancakes at the stove, Sam sat reading something and Jack and Cas sat in the living room. And Daisy sat with them.
"Morning sunshine, pancakes?" Dean asked, spotting her over his shoulder.
Maya was slightly in shock but nodded with a small smile. "Thanks."
"Coffee's done!" Daisy shouted over to her.
"Thank god." Maya exclaimed, pouring herself a mug. Meanwhile, Sam and Dean held a smile on their faces as they watched their daughter/neice drink coffee as they had both done before and after (and during) every hunt that kept them up at night.
"Okay, water now."
Maya gave a small whimper as Daisy took the mug from her hands and handed her a bottle of water. "Don't give me that face. You know after a full cup you're awake for three days. Amy actually thought you'd taken an adreneline shot. So, drink up."
"When you go away, it's the only time I can drink it."
"And now I'm back."
"Why are you back?" Maya asked.
"Well, don't sound too dissapointed. I might start to think you don't like me."
Maya just rolled her eyes. "You know what I mean."
Daisy sighed, the pair taking a plate each from Dean who had stacked a couple of pancakes on each. "Ryan cut the weekend short."
"Ryan?" Maya asked.
"My new boss."
"He was there?" Maya asked shocked.
"And he couldn't have been more of a jackass if he tried." Daisy sighed.
"Why? What did he do?" Sam asked out of curiosity.
Now every was in the conversation, talking about how much Ryan was a jackass and how much work was a pain in the ass. And then it moved onto other topics of conversation such as Daisy embarrassing Maya by revealing all the things Maya had tried to forget about when she was young.
But Dean couldn't have been happier. He hadn't laughed like this in a long time. And hadn't been this...proud of someone before. His kid was a freaking genius!
"Oh, crap. That reminds me." Daisy said, looking to her watch. "I need to run to the lab for an hour or two. I left some samples to see how quickly the moulding process take hold. Anyone want to come and looking at fungi for the next hour or two."
"Hard pass." Maya and Dean spoke. But Sam and Jack agreed to go. Cas had some small errends to run, so that left the father-daughter duo alone.
"As long as no case pops up in the next ten minutes, let me get dressed and I can show you around the city? Daisy will keep them busy for the next three hours. Last time I went, I got there at 9am and didn't leave until 5 in the evening."
"Sure, Kid."
A few hours later, they pair had made their way to the standard sights in the city before finding themselves inside Argo's Bakery and Diner, sat eating a slice of his apple pie, each.
"You weren't kidding."
Maya smiled, shaking her head as she dug her fork into the pie. "No, I wasn't."
The pair sat and talked for a while, about life, about family, about hunting. And then they got deep. About family deaths. About Dean's time as a demon. About being in Hell. About the world ending nearly every year. About her mom's death. About...anything really.
"What about Mary?" Maya asked. "Is she still questioning if I'm real?"
"She loves you." Dean told her, truthfully. "I know that much. We might have only known you've existed these last 8 months, but, we love you."
Maya smiled. "You don't say that much, do you?"
"Not unless one of us is about to die, no." Dean eventually said after he thought about it.
Soon enough, the pair paid for their meals - Maya taking not taking no for an answer when Dean said he'd pay for the both of them. And, they even brought back some for the others.
"Hey, you're back." Maya smiled as they entered finding Sam, Jack, Cas and Daisy sat around the coffee table playing monopoly.
