( in terms of vicious ruthlessness, Allison could give her grandfather a run for his money, but that was a dark time. she only stabbed Isaac twenty times. she's got a better head on her shoulders, now. and she knows her grandfather to be corrupted - and dead - now. but, also that his reach is now wider than they can just handle.
it's Allison's call to get the network in the know. they tried to keep it under wraps and in the family (and Scott's pack), but it's wider than even they can cover.
they can only cover a few states at a time, with Isaac helping cover france. but, since they made it to London, there's no telling how far Monroe's influence reaches.
they need to go old school and old school means old school hunters.
she hears about them before they arrive. two brothers who grew up in the life like nomadic military brats. "kind of like me, except I was lied to most of my childhood." she's past it, she still jokes.
dean approaches first, notices Allison and starts to try on that signature smile, but clears his throat because - hey, there's also Chris. )
( One of her other hunters had passed on word that the Winchester's were something to look at. Good to know it wasn't exaggeration. Irrelevant to their proceedings. )
Is it Gerard?
( Dean has to ask. He worked personally with Gerard and that guy scared him. Never mind, he was a kid at the time. That guy would scare him at this age. There was a ruthlessness and coldness in his eyes Dean remembers well. His father always worked with who he needed to, but there was a reason they hadn't dealt with Gerard again. Even when his dad had been called to Beacon Hills, California.
One of the only jobs he remembers his dad turning down.
Allison does look to her father to see if she can say it. That doesn't stop Dean for keeping his foot in his mouth. )
Because, no offense, we don't do jobs with him anymore, and we're both here because Chris called, not his borderline psychotic father.
( Lucky for the both of them, it's only Chris who seems to not appreciate the comment. But, that only comes from the eyebrow he gives. He's questioning her decision, it's clear, but Allison doesn't lose her cool. )
And he didn't get any better. ( Which should clear some things up, right? ) I loved my grandfather, I love my dad. But, the code they lived by, it's different than the one we live by now. This is about Gerard, but it's not about working with him. It's about saving people from his influence. Even though he's dead. My dad says you're good hunters. Have you crossed paths with anybody affiliated with Tamara Monroe?
"He's a former hunter. And, a werewolf." ) Like Scott.
( "Different kind." )
That someone isn't just one someone. There are others out there who are tracking and targeting supernaturals. Gerard influenced a woman named Tamara Monroe and she's... widened her scope. She's persuasive. As far as we know, her reach extends over into Europe. And most of these people, they're not seasoned hunters. They're civilians. Weaponized.
You're here because my dad trusts you. Because, any hunter we speak to, you're the first names out of their mouths. We can't stop them alone. Ten years later, it feels like... it's escalating.
( A few things. It's a multi-pronged approach. She details the supernatural points on the map. The cities that might get hit harder. Mystic Falls because of the Salvatore School, New Orleans because of the major witch and vampire players. Lebanon, Kansas. Surprises there? )

Chris Argent.
And Allison Argent. His daughter. Sit down.

Sam.
[Then another thumb towards his brother.]
Dean.
[And but he does as he's told, sliding into the booth and moving all the way over so that Dean can sit down next to him.]
So what's the trouble?

[Sam takes a deep breath because he doesn't want to work with Gerard either, but they could probably make that clear without being an ass about it.]
It's ... the last time they saw each other, it didn't go well.

I have been seeing a lot more hunters floating around. Garth said he and the pack have had to move a few times to avoid someone who was tracking them.

[He glances between the two of them as he tries to draw all the conclusions together.]
So what does this have to do with Gerard? Was she his protege or something?
no subject
He took advantage. He used her fear.
( Tamara might as well be his protegΓ©. )

[Sam and Dean don't have anything huge and earth-shattering on their plates at the moment. Maybe it's time they put their reputations to good use.]
What do you need us to do?
