A/N: IMPORTANT! I decided to skip writing a story about 2x04, so if anyone is reading this and confused why Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, isn't the plot of this chapter, that's why.

Chapter 11: Jedi Mind Tricks

"Hey Sam, you wanna leave some water for the fish?" Mia called as she banged on the bathroom door of the gas station.

They'd stopped for a bathroom and snack break off of the highway in Nebraska, but Sam had been taking an awfully long time in the restroom. Mia could hear the sink running from outside.

"Sam?" She asked again when she heard gasping and groaning noises coming from inside. It sounded as though Sam was in a lot of pain.

She darted over to Dean who was packing up the car.

"Uh, I think something's wrong with Sam, he's been in the bathroom for a really long time," Mia told him, fearfully.

Dean would've dismissed her worries but when he saw the fear in her eyes, he knew something had to be wrong. And he was right. He kicked open the bathroom door to find Sam in the midst of one of his psychic visions, hunched over the sink.

Before Sam could explain what was happening, he told his brother and Mia that they needed to get to The Roadhouse right away so he could talk to Ash.

"So what exactly happened?" Dean asked as they began driving off in the direction Sam had requested him to.

"I had a vision of this man, a town's Doctor. He got a weird phone call that like… compelled him to buy a gun, load it, and kill the person who sold him the gun, then kill himself. You know my visions always have to do with The Demon, and if we can talk to Ash, he can tell us where to find this town, and if we find the town, we find The Demon," Sam explained.

"Okay," Dean added, "but there's going to be hunters at The Roadhouse, and barging in and claiming you're some demonic freak that sees psychic visions isn't going to go over well."

Sam was completely offended by his brother's words. "So now I'm a freak?"

"You've always been a freak," Dean teased and jabbed him playfully.

But the damage was done, and Sam was hurt.

Mia twisted her necklace anxiously in the backseat. She hoped they would be able to make it to the town before Sam's vision came true.

When they arrived at the bar, Sam made a beeline for Ash's room without stopping to speak to Ellen or Jo. Dean and Mia followed him over to a wooden door with a plank nailed to it that read "DR. BADASS IS IN".

Mia laughed at the sign and pounded on the door. "Hey, Dr. Badass, we'd like some help."

The door opened, moments later, to reveal Ash, who was completely naked.

"Oh God," Dean and Mia exclaimed as they looked away.

"Sam, Dean, Mia. How can I help you?" He sniffed and made no attempt to cover his nudity.

"Ash, we need your help to locate The Demon," Sam explained while refusing to look downwards.

"Well, I guess I'll be needing pants then," Ash replied. "Unless…" he glanced over at Mia, suggestively.

She shook her head. "No, no. Please put your pants on, Ash."

He shut the door to change and Mia, Sam, and Dean darted back to the bar.

"Why?" Mia sighed as she sat down at one of the tables.

Dean snickered at her discomfort and ordered beer for the three of them as they waited for Ash.

The genius appeared, fully clothed to the hunters' delight, along with his demon-tracking laptop. Sam gave him a description of the town, including a bus logo he'd seen in the vision. Luckily, Ash was able to give him a location.

"Guthrie, Oklahoma," He stated.

"Can you check if Guthrie has any signs of demonic activity?" Sam asked.

"Why? Do you think the demon's there?" Ash questioned.

"Just do it," Dean snapped.

Ash pulled up the town on his computer but there were no results.

"Okay, try something else. Search Guthrie for a house fire, in 1983, and the origin of the fire would be the nursery," Sam instructed.

Ash gave him a strange look. "What? Why the hell would I look that up?"

Mia grabbed her bottle of unopened beer and placed it in front of him. "Drinks on us, if you do it."

"Give me fifteen minutes," Ash replied as he snatched her beer bottle.

In less than fifteen minutes, they had a match. Sam, Dean, and Mia were off to investigate the town with a promise of meeting another psychic like Sam.

"His name is Andrew Gallagher, born in 1983. He lost his mother to a nursery fire on his six-month birthday, like me," He read from the file Ash had put together for them.

"So these psychics, do they all have visions like you?" Mia asked as they drove.

Sam explained, "Actually no, we've only met one other psychic, Max Miller-"

"Nutcase," Dean muttered under his breath.

"Anyways," Sam continued, "he had telekinetic powers. He could make things move with his mind, and he sorta killed his entire family, but in his defense, they abused him."

"He tried to kill me! What's your excuse there?" Dean exclaimed.

"To be fair, lots of people have tried to kill you, including me," Mia defended.

Dean frowned. "When did you try to kill me?"

"When I tried to beat you up a couple of months ago, I was going for the gold," Mia responded.

Dean laughed, "I think you ended up hurting yourself more than you hurt me," recalling how catching her punches in midair caused her to lose her balance and fall on her ass.

Mia cocked her head. "Hey, that's true… But you've tried to kill me a lot of times. There was that time you almost ran me over, that time you were so mad at me in the hospital you tried to kill me in ghost form…"

He laughed as he recalled those fond memories, then sobered up. "Hey! You still owe me a new AC/DC tape!" He shouted angrily remembering her hospital confession.

"Yeah, okay, let me check the museum to see if they still have eight-track tapes..." Mia retorted. Dean rolled his eyes at her sarcasm.

"Why don't you just buy a CD player like normal people?" She asked.

"Teenagers," Dean muttered bitterly. "No appreciation for the past."

They drove to Guthrie and, using Ash's file, located Andrew's work address which happened to be a small diner in town. The three hunters found it strange that there was no current address or phone number for Andrew. Nevertheless, they dressed in their business clothes and asked a young woman who worked there, what she knew about Andrew.

"You're not gonna get any money from Andy," A blonde girl by the name of Tracy, told them as she served the three of them coffee. "I know you're debt collectors. Every time a couple of you come by, Andy says something that never gets you to come back."

"Andy Gallagher?" A young man exclaimed as he walked over to talk to them. "He's awesome! He got me backstage at Aerosmith once!"

"Don't you have work to do, Webber?" She asked rhetorically. The energetic man left to clear more tables, leaving Tracy to return her attention to the hunters.

"Actually we're lawyers, representing his grand Aunt Lita who passed away and left him some estate," Dean lied smoothly.

The woman smiled politely. "If you're looking for him try Orchard Street, he lives in a van. You can't miss it; there's a barbarian queen riding a polar bear on it."

And sure enough, when they drove over to Orchard Street, there was Andrew's van, parked outside someone's house.

"Wow, that's a nice van," Dean remarked, "I'm kinda jealous."

Mia and Sam stared at him in disbelief.

"Kidding," Dean promised them.

But Sam continued to look befuddled.

"Guys, this is the second psychic I've met like me, who's my age, whose mother died in their nursery and now they're killing people," Sam voiced his fears.

"We don't know if it's Andrew who's killing people," Mia reassured him as she took a sip of the hot chocolate she'd purchased at the diner.

"My point is, why did The Demon visit all of us when we were babies? Why were we chosen?" Sam questioned.

His brother shuffled uncomfortably in his seat. "What do you mean?"

"The Demon said he had plans for me and all children like me… What if this is it? What if he wants us to become murderous, psychic freaks?" Sam worried.

Dean sighed. "I don't think that's the Demon's plan, you're not the murdering type."

"Dean's right," Mia piped up. "Sure you kill demons and monsters on a regular basis, but those things deserve it. But we know you, you don't even kill spiders; you just take a paper napkin and throw them outside. You care about people too much to become a killer."

Sam gave Mia an appreciative smile but still wasn't convinced. He knew that whatever The Demon had in store for him wasn't going to be pretty.

Suddenly, Andrew appeared on the street, walking out of a house wearing pajamas and a silk robe. He waved up to the second story window where a beautiful girl wearing lingerie was waving back at him.

Dean and Sam exchanged disbelieving glances.

"Dude's got a lot of game for someone who lives in a van," Mia noted as she took another sip of her hot chocolate.

They continued to watch Andrew walk down the street and interact with people. They watched him somehow talk a guy into giving him his coffee, and then they saw him talk to an older man who was standing on a street corner.

Sam jumped. "That's him! That's the shooter from my vision! Dr. Jennings!"

Andy walked in the opposite direction of the shooter.

"You stay with the doctor Mia and I will follow Andy," Dean instructed his brother.

Sam climbed out of the car and followed the doctor down the street while Andy climbed into his van.

"Dean, he's moving," Mia exclaimed as she put her hot beverage in the front seat cup holder while she tried to hop from the backseat to the passenger's side.

But before she could lift her leg over the bench, Dean had gunned the engine and then brought the car to a complete halt to avoid hitting Andy's van. This sent Mia flying forwards where she landed on her face in the passenger seat.

"OW!" Mia cried out as she straightened herself up.

Dean laughed loudly, "The best part is, I didn't even do that intentionally!"

"Yeah, laugh it up, fuzzball," Mia retorted sarcastically. She crossed her arms heatedly as Dean continued to laugh at her expense.

After they tailed Andy for about half a mile, he stopped and got out of his van.

"Shit," Mia mumbled, worried that Andy was going to mess with them.

Dean extended his hand to Mia. "Give me my gun, it's in the glove compartment."

Mia quickly did as he requested and placed the gun in his hand. He put it inside of his shirt, keeping his finger on the trigger, just in case Andy wanted to be violent.

The psychic stuck his head through Dean's open window.

"Man, that is a nice car! '67 right? That's the Impala's best year, if you ask me."

Mia heaved a sigh of relief and took a sip of her drink. Dean released his hand from his gun and relaxed. "It is, isn't it? I just rebuilt her from the ground up, too. No way I'm letting her go," Dean grinned.

"Can I have it?" Andy asked.

Without hesitation, Dean agreed and climbed out of the front seat.

Mia stared at Andy and Dean in surprise. "What?" She remarked in incredulity. Why would Dean give up his prized possession all of a sudden?

Andy climbed in beside her and glanced down at the hot beverage in her hands. "Can I have that, too?"

Mia smiled and handed it right over to him without a second thought. She then jumped out of the car by his direction.

"Alright, thanks!" Andy smiled and waved as he drove off in the Impala with Mia's hot chocolate, leaving her and Dean alone with the barbarian queen painted on the van he'd left.

Across town, Sam had followed the doctor to the bus stop where the doctor had received a mysterious phone call. Sam knew from his vision that he was going to go into the gun shop next so he quickly ran across the street, into the store, and pulled the fire alarm to prevent the man from going inside.

Sam sighed in relief when he watched the doctor walk away, but his relief turned to confusion when he saw Andy drive by in the Impala.

He whipped out his cell and called his brother. "Andy has the Impala!"

"Yeah, and my hot chocolate!" Mia yelled angrily into the speakerphone.

"He Obi-Waned us, man! With his mind control!" Dean added.

Sam opened his mouth to respond but then he saw the doctor walk into the middle of the street. Sam ran to stop him but it was too late. He watched helplessly as Dr. Jennings was run over by a city bus.

Sam eventually told Dean and Mia what happened and they rushed over to comfort a devastated Sam.

"I thought, he'd just get over it. I should've stayed with him," Sam lamented.

"Hey, you did everything you could," Mia comforted him.

Sam was still broken up over the doctor's death. He, Dean, and Mia walked back to the diner to see if Andy had turned up for work, and to Dean's immense relief, the Impala was parked out front, unlocked with the keys still inside.

"I'll never leave you again, baby," Dean promised. He then checked the car for any damage that Andy could have inflicted while Mia dove into the passenger seat to see if her hot chocolate was still there.

"It seems like Andy needs to give verbal commands for his powers to work," Sam stated. "The doctor had just gotten off of his cell phone when he stepped in front of the bus, so Andy must've called him."

"Maybe," Dean shrugged while avoiding eye contact.

"What?"

"Sam, I don't think he's our guy, he just doesn't seem like the type," Dean explained.

"How can you say that?" Sam demanded. "He fits the bill perfectly, and not all psycho killers walk around bragging about their kills."

"That is true," Mia added, sadly emerging from the Impala with an empty cup. "And he's the only lead we've got so how are we gonna check on him?"

Dean thought for a moment then smiled. "I have an idea."

They drove the Impala to Andy's van and broke inside. The interior reeked of weed, and was covered in blankets, philosophical books, and in Dean's words; 'Moby Dick's bong.'

"Yeah, I think I agree with Dean, he's not our guy. After seeing inside The Mystery Machine, he seems more like a stoner and less like a killer," Mia agreed once they'd settled a good distance from the van to steak it out until Andy returned for it. The three of them had grabbed lunch from a mini-mart and Mia munched on a bag of chips while Dean chewed his burger thoroughly.

But Sam was still convinced. "The only thing that doesn't make sense is why Andy would waste the doctor. His records are squeaky clean."

"Sam, face the facts. He's not our killer," Dean informed his brother.

Suddenly, Andy appeared in Sam's window, managing to scare the crap out of everyone.

"Why are you following me?!" He shouted at them angrily.

Sam mumbled, "Uh, well we're lawyers and your aunt passed away so we-"

"Tell the truth," Andy commanded.

"We hunt monsters," Dean explained.

"Dean!" Sam reprimanded.

"He's right, we hunt demons, monsters, and spirits that you couldn't even imagine in your wildest dreams," Mia added.

"Mia!" Sam exclaimed angrily.

In an embarrassment of her compulsion to tell the truth, Mia shoved a handful of potato chips into her mouth so she wouldn't give anything else away.

Dean, however, continued, "Sam, is my brother and he's a psychic like you,"

"Dean shut up!" Sam retorted.

"I'm trying," Dean replied uneasily, "well he doesn't have the same powers as you, but he thinks you're a killer and that he's gonna become one himself. That's because you're part of this big terrible thing that I really hope isn't true but I'm scared it is."

Mia mumbled with her mouth full of chips, attempting to verify Dean's story by Andy's compulsion.

"That's it, leave me alone!" Andy ordered. He was beginning to believe that the three of them were crazy.

"Okay!" Dean replied cheerfully. He then groaned as he realized what he'd divulged.

Sam got out of the car to chase down Andy while Mia smacked Dean with her bag of chips.

"What?" He cried.

"I chhft behfhfhfe yhfo tochhfjd hafm efhguhg," Mia scolded, her mouth still filled with chips.

"What are you even saying?!"

She chewed and swallowed her chips before rounding on him. "I can't believe you told him everything!"

"Hey! I had no control over my mouth! That guy's Jedi mind tricks are getting annoying," Dean retorted.

Mia mumbled in agreement and the two of them climbed out of the car to see Sam cornering the psychic and explaining that they were in the same boat.

"My mom died in a fire, just like yours," Sam offered, "And I can control things too. We're connected, Andy."

Andy looked completely bewildered. "No, no."

"Why'd you tell the doctor to walk in front of a bus?" Sam demanded.

"What?" Andy exclaimed in disbelief at his accusation.

Sam suddenly clutched his head and doubled over in pain.

"Sam?" Mia cried out. She moved to run over to him but he put up his hand, to tell her not to move.

She and Dean exchanged worried looks.

"Why did you kill him?" Sam probed.

But he couldn't control his visions and fell to the ground, groaning in pain. Dean and Mia were by his side instantly.

"What did you see?" Dean asked.

"There's a woman, at a gas station, she's going to kill herself. Burn herself alive. She gets triggered by a phone call, too," Sam recalled.

Andy frowned. "Wait, what does he mean? What's going on? What does this have to do with me?"

"Shut it," Mia silenced him.

"As long as we watch him, it's not going to happen," Sam reassured them as he stood up. He turned and glared at Andy, "I'm not gonna let you kill anyone else."

"Hey, whoa, I haven't killed anyone," Andy insisted.

They were interrupted by the sound of sirens and a fire truck rushing by them.

"Sam, maybe we're too late," said Mia in an apprehensive tone as she watched the truck whizz by.

The youngest Winchester told his brother to drive after the fire truck while he and Mia watched Andy.

Unfortunately, by the time Dean got to the gas station, it was indeed too late. The woman was dead, and by process of deduction, he claimed that it couldn't have been Andy, as they were with him the entire time.

"But that doesn't make sense," Sam replied into his cell.

"When do things ever make sense for us? Look, I'll check around here and see what else I can find, you and Mia stay with Andy," Dean dismissed before hanging up.

"So Sam gets psychic visions?" Andy asked Mia.

She nodded. "Typically it has to do with people's deaths, it's weird."

"Dude," Andy declared, turning to face Sam, "that's impossible."

Sam scoffed jokingly, "You know, people would say the same about your powers."

Andy smiled and explained he felt his powers were a blessing, but Sam's were a curse.

"I don't get it," Mia said, "you could have anything you want, but you live out of a van."

Andy shrugged. "It's all I really need."

It was at that moment that Sam Winchester realized the young man in front of him couldn't be a killer, which meant there was hope for both of them yet.

A while later, Dean rolled up in the Impala with the news.

"The woman's name was Holly Beckett. I called Ash on the way over here and he pulled up some information for me: when Holly was eighteen, she gave birth to a son. That was 1983."

Mia raised her eyebrows at Andy. "Are you adopted?"

"Well, yeah."

Dean shot him an impatient look. "You never thought to mention that?"

"It never really came up, I never knew my birth parents and it was my adoptive mom that died in the nursery fire," Andy replied.

"So you think Holly could be Andy's birth mom?" Mia inquired.

Dean nodded. "I tried to get a copy of the birth records, but they're impossible to get to."

Andy laughed, "Not impossible."

He directed them to the town archives and used his powers of persuasion to get the owner to let them in without argument.

"Don't worry about it," Andy assured the archivist as he walked out.

He then turned to Dean and Mia who were walking nearby and waved his hands while he said, "These aren't the droids you're looking for."

Both Dean and Mia laughed at his portrayal of Obi-Wan Kenobi before joining Sam in his research.

"It's true," Sam confirmed. "Andy, Holly Beckett was your birth mother, and Dr. Jennings helped with the adoption and everything. So that would explain the motive for murder."

"Yeah, but I didn't kill them," Andy asserted.

"We believe you," Mia reassured him and put her hand on his shoulder supportively.

"We do," Sam told him. "You didn't, but it turns out that there's another person who shares your motives… Holly gave birth to twins."

Andy put his hands over his head in shock. "Oh my God, I have an evil twin."

Sam continued reading the case file to Andy, "Your mom put you both up for adoption. You went to the Gallagher's, obviously, and your brother went to the Weems family. His name is Ansem Weems."

Andy breathed heavily as he took in the news. Dean noted his discomfort and asked if he was alright.

"I'm gonna be okay, but do you know where my brother is?"

"Uh, his address is nearby, we're printing his picture I.D as we speak," Dean explained to him.

Once the printer was finished, he picked up the paper to look at the photo of Andy's twin brother. "Whoa," He mumbled in recognition.

He brought the paper to Sam and Mia who also recognized the person in the photo as someone they'd seen earlier that day.

"Is that-" Sam began but Mia cut him off.

"Aerosmith guy!" She cried.

"What?" Andy asked as he took the paper from her hands.

He then dropped it in shock.

"Webber!"

In moments they were on the road back to the diner where they'd first met the evil twin.

Andy explained to them that Webber had just showed up at the diner a couple of weeks ago and followed him around like a puppy.

"He must've known, then," Mia concluded.

"But that doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't he just say who he was?" Dean questioned.

Sam began to groan and clutch his forehead.

"Another vision?" Mia asked worriedly as Sam continued to cry out in pain.

She reached her hand over and gently stroked the back of his head as they waited for his visions to subside.

Sam's groaning eventually ended and Dean asked him what he'd seen.

"There was that woman from the diner," Sam began.

Alarmed, Andy turned to face him, "Tracy?! Is she okay?"

Sam shook his head sorrowfully, "Andy, she was going to jump off of this bridge. Your brother was going to make her kill herself."

Andy looked completely terrified. "Was the bridge on top of a dam?"

"Yes, but-"

"I know where they're going, step on it," He told Dean who automatically obliged.

They reached the dam and the three hunters got out of the car quickly.

"Dean, Mia, you guys should stay back," Sam advised as he grabbed his gun from the trunk of the Impala. "You're vulnerable to his powers but I'm not."

Andy climbed out of the car to join them. "I'm coming with you."

"Andy-" Sam started.

"No. Listen, if that's Tracy out there, then I have to come with you," Andy declared.

Reluctantly, Sam allowed him to come. Dean and Mia watched Sam, and a determined Andy, walk over to the end of the bridge where Webber and Tracy were sitting in his car.

"We're not going to stay back, are we?" Mia asked Dean, knowing he wasn't going to let Sam take this on his own.

"You got a gun?" He replied.

She pulled one out of the bag and cocked it without a word.

Dean reached into the trunk of the Impala and pulled out a sniper rifle and tripod.

"I have a plan, but you need to listen to me and be ready to go the second I say, okay?"

Mia nodded. "I can do that."

"Good," Dean replied. "Wait for my signal."

The two of them watched the scene in front of them unfold. They watched Sam pull Webber out of the car and tape his mouth shut, then they watched Andy pull Tracy to safety. Things turned sour when Tracy grabbed a wooden stick and smacked Sam with it, knocking him over.

"Why did she do that?" Dean panicked.

Mia frowned as she thought hard. "Maybe Webber can do his mind control without saying anything, maybe he's stronger than Andy."

The two of them watched helplessly as Tracy walked over to the edge of the dam, and stood over it while Andy argued with his twin brother.

"I don't like how this is going," Mia disclosed to Dean, anxiously, as she began fiddling with her necklace.

He turned to her. "I don't like it either… I'm gonna take the sniper and set it up back in the woods so I can get a clear shot at Webber. You stay close to Sam and make sure Tracy doesn't jump."

Mia agreed and the two of them split up. Dean with his sniper rifle and Mia with her pistol. She crept slowly along the bridge and silently begged that Tracy wouldn't jump.

She got close enough that she could see Sam lying on the ground. She signaled that they were going to be alright and he motioned for her to leave before Webber spotted her.

She glanced up at the psychotic psychic who had turned his head in the direction of Dean's hiding place.

"I see you," He taunted Dean. He then made a movement with his hands and whispered. "Bye, Bye."

Mia watched in horror as Dean turned the gun to his head and put his fingers on the trigger.

"No!" She shouted.

Her scream attracted the attention of Webber who stared at her in surprise, having been unaware of her presence until that moment.

But before he could attempt to do anything, the young girl aimed her gun at him and put her finger on the trigger.

A shot rang out, and the man crumpled like a paper doll onto the street. Tracy screamed.

Mia dropped her gun in shock. She hadn't even pulled the trigger…

When she looked over, she saw that it had been Andy who killed his twin brother, using Sam's gun.

Sam was right, Mia observed. Andy was capable of becoming a killer.

The morning of, when the cops came to investigate, Andy used his 'Jedi mind tricks' to convince them that the death had been suicide.

Tracy, who he refused to compel to forget the past night's events, remained as far away from him as she could to his disappointment.

"She's afraid of me," Andy sighed to the Winchesters and Mia, "I don't know what to do, now."

"Give her some time," Mia advised. "She's allowed to be a little scared now but show her that there's nothing to fear, and she'll warm up to you."

Andy nodded, appreciative of her advice.

Sam handed him a slip of paper with his cell phone number on it. "We have to go, but if anything happens, call me, okay?"

"Be good," Dean told him. "Or we'll be back."

The three of them said goodbye and walked back over to the Impala.

"Thanks," Dean said to Mia.

"For what?"

"Trying to save my life. I saw your hands on the gun before Andy shot Webber," He explained.

She shrugged nonchalantly. "It was just out of instinct."

"You care about me," Dean teased jokingly. "Admit it, if I died, you'd miss me."

"If you died, I'd be mad I wasn't the one to kill you myself, Winchester," Mia retorted with a smile.

Dean tilted his head knowingly. "Okay, Wilkins, whatever you want to believe."

Mia continued to smile to herself as they climbed into the car and took off. She really felt like her and Dean were at least friends at this point, and she cared about him and Sam enough to want to save them at any cost. The boys were all she had now, and cared about them a lot. Especially Sam, who she considered to be her better friend out of the two of them.

Her better friend turned to his brother, "I was right about Andy, he was a killer."

"No, he was a hero. He saved my life and his girlfriend's life. Just because he killed Webber, or Ansem, whatever his name is, doesn't make him evil. He was pushed to it," Dean responded.

Sam sighed in frustration. "Exactly! Max was pushed, Webber was pushed, and even I was pushed when Jess died. Maybe that's what The Demon has in store for us; bending us to see how much we can take before we break."

"Sam," Dean groaned, "The Demon doesn't have an evil plan, okay? He's not some mastermind. He doesn't plan for you and all the psychic kids to have some destiny. You just need to let it go, man."

But Sam wouldn't let it go. He was sure of the demon's plans for him. But he kept quiet, even about what he'd heard Webber tell Andy before he died. That a man with yellow eyes had come to him in a dream and claimed he had a plan for all the special children, that they had great potential to unlock.

Dean's phone rang, bringing him out of his memories.

"Mia, can you grab that? The phone is in my bag in the backseat," Dean told her.

Mia picked up the phone and was surprised to hear Ellen's voice on the other end.

"Hey Ellen, what's up?"

The kind voice of Ellen Harvelle was rough as she spoke threateningly into the phone. "You and the boys need to get over here right away, I have to talk to you."

"Um, sure, we'll be right over," Mia guaranteed before hanging up.

"What did she say?" Dean wondered aloud.

Mia told them what Ellen had said to her.

"Did she say what for?" Sam asked.

Mia shook her head. "No, but she was using that tone of voice my mother used to use when I was in a huge ton of trouble…"

Dean and Sam exchanged fearful looks, anticipating the wrath of Ellen.

When they arrived at the bar, Ellen offered them free beer and told Jo to go outside, to her irritation.

"What was this last case about?" Ellen demanded.

"It's private, family stuff," Dean replied, taking a long sip of his beer.

"Family stuff, huh? Well, Ash told me what you had him look up. Babies who lost their mothers in a nursery fire on their six-month birthday? Isn't that what happened to your mother?"

"Yes," Sam affirmed, realizing it was pointless to go against Ellen.

"These fires, they're constant?" Ellen clarified.

Dean sighed. "Look, it's none of your business-"

"The way I see it," Ellen interrupted, "is there's only us and them, and we're greatly outnumbered, so we gotta stick together. No secrets here."

"There are children, like Andy Gallagher, and me… Who has a secret ability, we don't know why but it relates back to The Demon," Sam explained.

"Are they dangerous?" Ellen inquired.

"No… Well, some are," Dean answered.

"It all depends on how far they're being pushed," Mia sighed.

Dean added, "These kids all have something in common, they're the same age, their mothers' died in a fire on the night of their six-month birthday-"

"Actually, that's not true," Sam interjected. "I read through Webber or Ansem's files; his adoptive mother never died in a fire, yet he still had the same psychic abilities as Andy."

Ellen looked worried. "So this breaks the chain?"

"Yep," Sam replied. "This means there could be numerous psychics walking around that are unaccounted for."

The four of them exchanged worried looks.

Mia groaned, "Well that certainly changes things…"

A/N: Thank you for reading and reviewing! I'm going to be skipping 2x06 and 2x07, so just giving you guys a heads-up in case anyone is confused. I deleted those as well as 2x04 because I feel these are episodes that don't particularly concern Mia's storyline, and I have so much in store for her that I only want to do episode plots that directly involve her part in the Winchester's storyline as well as hers. So next episode will take place 2x08. Thanks for your support! Hugs all around!

Next Episode: Sam, Dean, and Mia learn the origins of the Crossroads Demons, and secrets come to light that concern Mia.
