Supernatural/Animorphs, Winchesters, one of the brothers is kidnapped by the Skrit Na just as they're close to being defeated.

(( Timeline shifts! Yay! Loren's canon age for TAC and Sam is canon age for the show. ))

The first thing Sam noticed as he drifted back towards consciousness was that his head ached. The second thing he noticed was that he couldn't move.

His eyes snapped open. He was bound hand and foot, thick ropes pinning his arms to his sides and around his ankles. A blonde girl, maybe thirteen or fourteen, lay on her side nearby, also tied up.

"Hey kid," he said, keeping his voice low. "You okay?"

"Better than you are, mister." She looked pointedly at his forehead, where they must have hit him to knock him out -- whoever they were ( ... )

The archway was so short that even Loren had to stoop a little to get through. The hallway was a little taller but still short-ceilinged, and Sam had to duck his head to avoid hitting it ( ... )

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh Sam and Loren. Both badass, both in the same room. And then they meet Elfangor.
*flail*

I like Sam using his 'civilian voice' on Loren, and the way she just jumps up and is her awesome, heroic, totally fearless self. :DDDD Thank you!

Well I figured if Loren could get to that point on her own with Chapman still unconscious like in canon then she didn't really need Sam's help all that much. :D I miiiight rewrite other bits of TAC with Sam, but I probably won't get to it.
