what if supernatural had starred, from the beginning, bela talbot and her best friends jo harvelle and charlie bradbury with a supporting cast of jo’s mother ellen, ellen’s best friend bobby, and bobby’s close friend sheriff mills
and what if it was about bela, jo, and charlie going hunting and tracking down supernatural criminals, monsters, and objects
bela would be the thief who’s initially only interested in selling them, like she is in canon, while jo would be the hunter who meets bela in the pilot while searching for her missing mother ellen, who has gone missing while on a routine hunting trip
bela is convinced to go hunting with jo and they become good but snarky friends, and a little while later (after they find ellen with the help of jo’s mentor bobby), the supernatural hacker charlie bradbury tracks bela down and wants in on their operation for personal reasons
and all the while, ellen, bobby, sheriff mills, and rufus are having subplots with each other that very often end up intersecting with the plots of bela, jo, and charlie
jo would probably be driving the impala her father used to drive and listening to classic rock all the time and bela would keep trying to put on classical music and then when charlie comes along, she’d want to install an ipod and play nerdy filks, but jo would be just as territorial of her baby as dean is
what if though
