Jovi was quick to raise her gun pointing it at the large man who held her father "let him go before I put a bullet between your eyes!" Jovi threatened her eyes staring hard at the man but before she could let off a warning shot a hand appeared behind the him whacking the back of his neck making him fall down revealing Sam. Dean rushed over to Sam's side Jovi also standing beside her uncle all three of them looking down at the man. He looked up at them his hat now on the floor, he was rubbing his neck wincing "where's the girl?!" Dean yelled
"Upstairs, alive" the man told them
"What did you do to us?"
"Nothing. I'm no witch, I just work for one"
"Crappy gig. Where is he?" Jovi asked as she looked down at him with annoyance finding this guy pathetic. He looked up at her "she. And she is the worst person in the world"
"Is that so?"
"I've been with her for centuries, things I've seen her do. My sister and I, she made us hurt people, kill people and when we tried to escape she caught us and tortured me and then she made me eat poor Gretel's heart"
That caught their attention, Jovi smirked Gretel? As in Hansel and Gretel? And here she was saying that this place looked like a fairytale house...
"Wait, witch? Gretel?" Dean scoffed "what, are you saying that you're..."
"Hansel. My name is Hansel" the man confirmed, Jovi laughed smiling up at her uncle "oh, he's serious too!" Sam nudged her silently telling her to tone it down but Jovi kept giggling "Hansel? And...and...and Gretel? Hansel and Gretel? Like β like the fable, like brothers Grimm?" Sam questioned still not fully convinced "it wasn't a fable. It was based on a true story" Hansel said getting to his feet, Jovi now noticed the hex bag around his neck. Her eyes narrowing on it in curiosity "they just gave it a happy ending" Hansel said putting his hat back on
"Oh, okay. We get to barbecue a celebrity, cool"
"You can't kill her. You're just men and women" he ask said his eyes landing on Jovi, the girl shifting uncomfortably "we're more than that" Sam told him stepping back picking something up "We're hunters"
"Ah, then let me help" Hansel said with a sick smirk on his face that made Jovi narrow her eyes, she felt a sinking in her stomach her eyes studied the man's face it was like a sense of impending doom, a cloud of doubt having over her head. She had a nagging suspicion that he wasn't fully on their side but what do you expect from a guy working for a witch? "Help? What's in it for you?" She questioned her voice full of uncertainty, the man's eyes looked up up the untrusting girl "because if you're going to fry that candy coated bitch, I want in"
"You want to help? Tell me how to turn him back" Sam pointed his gun at Hansel, Dean glanced over at them with a unbothered look in his eye "Sam, it can wait"
"Tell me how!"
"The hex bag that I'm wearing it will reverse the spell. Squeeze it, and you'll return to your proper age" Jovi side eyed her dad seeing him peer down at the hex bag like he was thinking it over before looking back at Hansel's face "look, we waste the witch, I give you the cure...deal?"

Hansel lead the three Winchesters up the stairs and into the house where they followed him through to the kitchen finding Tina tied to a chair and one ugly looking witch - in Jovi's opinion. The girls whole face cringed at the sight especially seeing the woman's teeth"Hansel" she spoke joyfully before her eyes found the hunters "and pals" Dean added, the witch sent them a disgusting smile "well, our lost lamb. I thought we'd have to go looking for you. Maybe even abandon our home sweet home here, I never dreamt you'd be stupid enough to come back on your own. Hansel, take care of them"
Jovi eyed Hansel that pit in her stomach growing but the man didn't move towards him "yeah, he's not exactly your biggest fan" Dean told the witch smug smile plastered on his face "maybe you shouldn't have made him chow down on his sister" Sam suggested eyes locked into the witch who grinned "I never made Hansel do anything" before Jovi could spin round Hansel had grabbed Sam's gun whacking him in the face "damn it!"
Dean pulled out the Molotov cocktail the witch yelled in what Jovi was guessing was German as it sounded angry, both her gun and deans cocktail flew from their hands "crap!" The girl yelled in annoyance putting her hands up in surrender beside Sam and her dad, they all got on their knees "now, who's hungry?"
"Think I lost my appetite when I walked in" Jovi uttered hearing a snicker come from her father "don't move" Hansel spat at them, the witch walked towards them bending over in front of Dean "ooh, oh, scrawny and you" she said looking at Jovi grabbing her face between her fat fingers "don't freakin' touch her!" Dean snapped which only made the witch cackle "pretty little thing but boney, we'll have to fatten you both up"
"Don't know wether that's a compliment for an insult" Jovi uttered between the witches grubby fingers, the man let her go moving over to Dean going to reach out to him but he turned his face away "don't touch me either"
"Oh, I'm going to do more than that. Children. Oh, they're so sweet and innocent and delicious, you'll see" the witch told them touching her lip, Jovi gagged "think I just threw up in my mouth" she muttered Dean nudged her silently telling her to tone it down so she didn't draw more attention to herself "when I cook them up, I'll give you some, hm" Hansel chuckled earning himself a glare from the teenage girl, the witch went over to her kitchen island that was filled with different cooking tools and sweet treats "if you like kids so much, why not go after kids? What's with this whole fountain of youth?" Sam quizzed watching both Hansel and the witch "hmm, in the olden days, if a child went missing, ah, the young died all the time. Now, though, with all your amber alerts and your milk cartons. A person fillets one rug rag and people get so angry"
"Yeah, I blame Obama" Jovi slowly turned her head to look at her father giving him a 'really?' look alongside Sam who done the same thing, Dean only shrugging in response "so, I improvise. I take adults no one will miss and give them back their youth" the witch explained "and then Kentucky fry em?" Dean said with disgust written on his face "it's the only way I can eat in peace"
Sam subtly put his hands down reaching round to his pocket, Dean noticed "so, uh, is it worth it? I mean, word on the street is people kind of taste like chicken" Jovi sent him a look
"A bit. European children are more, uh, free range, gamier. Americans though β ooh β they are heaven" the witch laughed evilly "fattier. The meat, so finely marbled, it's almost buttery. I just can't get enough"
"Really didn't need to description" Jovi muttered her face scrunched up, she could feel her stomach churning threatening to bring up her lunch "mmm, awesome" Dean said sarcastically as he gave a thumbs up "this is my first visit to your country and i have to say god bless the USA" the witch said grinning
"Oh, so, you're a tourist?"
"No, it's business, not pleasure. An old friend is causing trouble and the grand coven asked me to take care of her. Poor, stupid, Rowena"
That caught all three Winchesters attention, heads tilting recognising the name Rowena "wait, Rowena?" Jovi spoke up drawing the witches attention to her "she got red hair, a thing for ritzy hotels?" The witch paused her face falling into an angry look "how do you know that?!" Before they could respond Sam jumped up hitting Hansel across the face, Dean tackled him while Sam went for the witch. She dropped her knife which Jovi was quick to grab heading over to Tina starting to undo her rope, Tina screamed under the tape that was across her mouth. Sam was thrown into the wall beside them, Jovi span round the knife being thrown from her hand
She cursed before going to throw a punch at the witch who held a hand up freezing the girl in her spot "oh crap" Jovi uttered before she was thrown towards the open oven hitting the door, her eyes widening as she felt the intense heat from the flames beside her. The witch grabbed her arm "perhaps we'll burn you first" Jovi tried to move from her frozen position but found herself struggling "turn him!" The witch ordered Hansel who chuckled looking at Sam but didn't find his hex bag, instead Dean held it up with a smirk before he grabbed it a bright light filling the room everyone shielding their eyes
Dean grabbed the knife that had been thrown from Jovi's hands before thrusting it up into Hansel's stomach he then charged at the witch stuffing the hex bag in her mouth pushing her backwards into the flames of the oven. Jovi was released from the invisible hold on her, she fell to the floor just in time for Dean to grab the oven door slamming it closed, the witch screaming as she went up in flames.
They now stood outside of the house with Tina who seemed to still be processing what had happened "that was crazy...like psycho crazy." The girl looked between the three "and you do this all the time?"
"All the freakin' time" Dean answered her, the jacket he wore now too small, the sleeves above his wrists. It brought amusement to his daughter face "not all the time" Sam added in a small voice, Jovi raised a brow sending him a look "yes, all the time"
"Can you turn me back?" Tina asked them, Dean glanced over at Sam who sent him the same uncertain look "the hex bag went up in flames, I'm so sorry, Tina" the girl nodded slowly her eyes glossing over like she was trying to figure out what to do "we may be able to reverse engineer the spell though?" Sam told her, Tina caught her reflection in the window of the witches house a idea hitting her "or maybe you don't"
Jovi blinked in confusion "come again?"
"I got three ex husbands, 50 grand in debt and not much else. I was...kind of a crappy adult. Maybe I'll do better this time around. Get out of town, get a fresh start" Tina then smiled small "this is my second chance. Everybody wants a second chance, right?"
"Sure you're gonna be all right?"
"Like I told you, I always am" Dean nodded smile pulling at his lips, Jovi looked between them before shrugging it off "can we at least give you a ride somewhere?" Tina nodded, Dean held out his hand to Sam "give me the keys".

They had taken Tina to a bus stop getting her a ticket and giving her the cash they had to keep her going for a while, she now had a bag with some supplies to take on the road "thanks for everything" she told them with a smile "you stay safe out there, you hear?" Dean told her Tina nodded "I will" she pressed a kiss to Dean's cheek before stepping back "and hey, we'll always have the royal motel, right?" She saluted him with a knowing smirk which Dean chuckled at, Sam and Jovi raising a confused brow. Tina walked off into the bus station, the Winchesters turned heading back to the car "so, Grand Coven...any ideas?"
"Doesn't sound good"
"Well, sounds like an 80s hair metal band. You know, lot of hair spray, lot of eye shadow, lot of keytar" Dean had a grin on his face but Sam just stared at him, Jovi looking between them blankly "no? Nothing? Come on, man. I'm painting a word picture here"
"A really bad one" Jovi said earning a look from her dad "is it back?" Sam asked looking at deans arm. Jovi's face fell as her eyes also glanced down at her dad's arm, Dean lifted his sleeve revealing the mark "look, I know what you're gonna say okay? But you were in deep-"
"I know, I know. You saved me and Jov and you saved Tina and...you pulled a Dean Winchester...thank you"
"Any time"
"Look, man. Do I wish the mark was gone? Yes, of course, absolutely I do but..." Sam shrugged "I wanted you back and now here you are and you didn't Hulk out, so...I'll take the win. As for the rest of it, the mark, everything else...we'll figure it out, we always do"
"Damn right" Jovi smiled mischievously as she looked up between them "this is real touching, feel like a group hugs in order" the brothers looked down at the teen with a unamused expression "way to ruin a moment, jov. Come on" Dean said gently pushing her towards the car, the blonde laughing to herself getting into the back of Baby. Dean sighed In satisfaction gripping the steering wheel "I'm back, Baby" he turned the engine on the stereo coming along with it, Taylor Swifts shake it off playing loudly. Sam pulled a disgusted face while Dean stared into the distance, Jovi grinned smile slowly creeping onto her face. Sam looked at Dean blinking, Dean silently shrugged with a small smile leaving the song playing smile growing as he heard his daughters excited gasp from the backseat before driving away.
