andrew ‘andy’ john cross, named after his grandfather's, was born to single mother sawyer jane rosen and hunter clay cross on the 9th of june, 2017. andrew was born in unusual circumstances, a product of a mostly sexual relationship between his mother and father - both hunters - as well as being an unplanned pregnancy. despite this andrew was raised by parents since the day he was born. his mother sawyer gave up hunting when she learned of her surprise pregnancy to ensure his safety, even going so far as to move away from her family and friends, bringing the baby boy miles away from those connected with the supernatural world and cutting off her ties to them. the only people to know of sawyer and andrew's whereabouts were his father, clay and his newly appointed godmother and his mother's friend, dani sutton, affectionately known as 'aunt dani'. andrew, or 'andy', grew up in cold spring, a small village in phillipstown in the county of putnam, about sixty-two miles from new york city. andy’s life was happy, he loved comic books, climbing trees, astronomy and star wars. he was both gifted and unique, having an aptitude for science and mathematics, as well as an upbeat and positive attitude almost constantly.

a sensitive soul, andy was doted on by his mother, his father visiting whenever he could in between working cases, with clay and sawyer getting together when andy was three years old. sawyer and clay divorced amicably when andy was six, with sawyer later marrying, tim odell an old flame from her hunting days, gaining andy a loving step father, a step sister and over the years a baby brother and sister. andy studied at an ivy league school, the university of columbia and settled in new york in a shared apartment with his younger brother kit odell. one night while out at the bar where kit worked, andy was attacked by a vampire during a make out session and was saved by his father clay. with kit and clay both getting andy to safety, they, along with their younger sister jovi, were introduced to the supernatural world. one full of angels and monsters and much like their parents, hunters. coming away from the attack otherwise unscathed, andy chose to continue his life as before, while kit decided to become a hunter as his parents had and jovi started to study magic as her mother did.

scoring a job at a medical tech company, andy was entrusted with a project to build a prototype that would enhance a person's memory, intended to help those suffering with difficulties in recalling memories. andy's boss during this time was mira green who oversaw the project and aimed to take andy under her wing as her prodigy. all while keeping from him the real intention of the company, a front for the british men of letters, and the machine, meant to brainwash hunters into compliance. when andy discovered this he returned home to find the place trashed and his brother missing, andy then tried to warn his mother and father, arriving at his family home in time to see his mother gunned down, forcing him to flee unable to get to his sister in time located in her room upstairs. from there andy went on the run, searching for his remaining family to find no trace of them as if they had never existed. andy wandered the length and breadth of america to find a way to stop mira and her organisation all while being pursued by kit, having been captured and brainwashed into being a killer intent on murdering his own brother. during this time andy went by the name john roe, or just 'johnny' to help him avoid being traced and then captured by the british men of letters.

it  was  definitely  weird,   had  been  the  moment  johnny  stepped  into  their  lives,   their …  timeline.   it  wasn’t  necessarily  a  bad  kind  of  weird,   but  it  was  still  strange  hearing  the  word  ‘ mom ‘  being  used  to  reference  sawyer,   even  stranger  that  the  man  just  five  years  younger  than  him  was  technically  his  son.       ❝   no,   it’s  fine.     what’s  up?   ❞
