A/N: now this new update is relatively fast don't you'll think? (hides in shame) anyway I have written this chapter because I was a bit baffled about the fact John did not recognize Dean when he started to get older: surely someone who walked around when both parents of your future wife died….and especially under those circumstances…should be remembered by John…..who has also been in the marine? That is strange..the same goes for the YED btw……and it just confused the hell (no pun intended) out of me…..hence this little snippet!

Chapter: haven't we met before?

As the years passed, John started to notice things about the way Dean looked…and no, not in that particular way….because for god sakes he's the boy father! No, John noticed that the way Dean changed into a man was awakening a sense of déjà vu in him. Sometimes John became aware that the way Dean walked reminded him of someone else or there were times that John thought that he had heard that voice before…..but it never 'clicked' because he had so much other things on his mind: Hunting evil, making sure the government stayed of their back, training the kids, arguing with Sam.

But then the day arrived that Sam left. And suddenly John had a lot more time to think about this strange feeling he had around his oldest son, and he knew it would now only be a matter of time before he found the 'click' he had been missing. But still an awful lot of times passed before it happened and blew Johns world away.

The 'click' had come in a dream, well it was more a memory that was playing out in his sleep so technically speaking John knew he couldn't say it was a dream..but still. He saw Mary talking with a man, he saw himself talking with a man that was not only looking like his eldest son but actually was Dean! Waking up with a gasp he literally smacked himself in the face: How could he have possible forgotten the fact that it was his own g*ddamn son told him to take the impala? HOW COULD HE HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT???????

…"Yeah, my dad taught me everything I know. And this, this is a great car." The guy……..no , Dean John mind said….told him to take the impale, telling him that it would be the car of a lifetime! Asking him to trust him, when he said that the car would still be a bad ass when it was 40. For cryin' out loud Dean had even told him his real name! and that last name Dean had given him that was just icing on the cake to show him that it actually had been DEAN.. who else has such a strange sense of humor?

But now that John knew that the man he met all those years ago was actually his son, his head began to hurt. Because how was it possible that Dean had traveled in time? And why had he traveled back? It surely wasn't to prevent the death of Mary's parents because they both died when Dean had been there. So what could possibly be the reason that his son had been sent there….and more important by whom? Was there something evil at work? Was Dean possessed by some (god forbid) demon to wreck havoc in Mary's and his life? Was the life he was living right now a lie, purely based on the things Dean had or hadn't done? Johns head was spinning with questions. Questions that had no answers.

What could he possible do? Looking at Dean who was peacefully sleeping in the bed next to him he decided that the best thing to do was to split up with his son. That way he would, not only, have the change to hunt that evil son of a bitch that killed his wife and to find out what that bastards motives were, but also to look for answers concerning his eldest son.

Yes, John thought splitting up was the best thing. Tomorrow morning he would tell Dean that he could do a hunt on his own and then he could disappear quietly into the night and find the answers he so desperately needed.

Well, what do you think is this still good or should I stop this Verse?
