Title: It Had to Be You

Summary: Sam and Dean Winchester go see Allison DuBois to try to find answers about Sam's dreams. Trouble follows.

Notes: This takes place during Season 2 of "Supernatural," with Sam having dreams and visions related to the Yellow-Eyed Demon. This is set after Season 4 of "Medium," where Allison's gift has been exposed to the public, and she has lost her job at the District Attorney's office. Joe is working for his start-up at this time. A huge thank you to Katrina, my beta reader, for suggestions that helped me shape and improve this story. Any errors you find are my own.


- Prologue -

Two men were sitting in a car, driving along a back road at night. The driver had green eyes, short brown-blonde hair with spiked bangs and a grim look on his handsome face as he stared intently at the road ahead. The passenger had longer, wavy brown hair. His blue-grey eyes were full of worry, and his brows were knitted together in a concerned frown.

"So tell me more about this lead you found," the driver instructed his companion.

"Phoenix, Arizona. There were a bunch of news stories last year about a woman named Allison DuBois. She works for the District Attorney—or did."

The driver raised his eyebrows. "So, what? She's some high-power, corporate lawyer?"

The other man consulted some printed papers he held in his hands. "No, I don't think so, Dean. Says here she dropped out of law school to become a stay-at-home mom for awhile, then started working for the D.A. on a part-time basis. At first, people thought she was just a consultant, but then a reporter broke the story that Allison was a psychic and was using her abilities to help the D.A. solve crimes. The fallout was huge. The D.A. got replaced, Allison lost her job, the cases she worked on all had to be re-examined…"

"Look, that sucks, okay? But what I want to know is, how does she do it, Sam?" the man called Dean asked.

"It says she has dreams," Sam said quietly.

"Dreams?" Dean gave the man beside him a sharp look. "Like the ones you get?"

"I don't know," Sam replied with a sigh, looking out his window as they sped along the road. "I guess we'll find out soon enough."

They drove by a road sign, the illumination from their car's headlights revealing it to say, "Phoenix 50 miles."

Allison awoke from her dream with a gasp.
