It was Dean's fault.

See, if Dean hadn't been so busy with Jo and that girl at the farm, maybe he would have been as restless as Sam and maybe they would have found things to do, monsters to hunt, people to save, etc. etc. the Winchester Way. And if they'd been doing that, Sam would not have found himself up against a supernatural creature with Leah at his back.

Not that Leah's... that is, yeah, she's blind, but... because he totally respects her and her past as a superhero, it's just...

Anyway, none of that is the point. Because it's Dean's fault.

But these complaints don't really pop up until later.



Right now, Sam is not cursing Dean. He's thanking him. Mentally thanking him, of course, because Dean's occupation with two women in separate cities keeps him both busy and distant. And this gave Sam plenty of freedom to spend with the female of his choice... without having to listen to Dean be rude and inappropriate.

And spending time with Leah, even just making fun of each others drink choices, was always nice.

So when they both admitted to being bored one day, and had been for several days, with no plans in the near future and no obligations they could think of, Sam found himself saying "Road trip?" and was delighted to hear her agreement.

Granted, he wasn't sure where to go or what to do and, on second thought, wondered if being in a car for an extended period of time was like torture to a blind person. But by that point, Leah had already agreed and he'd been half-packed. They could always come back early.


So there's Sam and there's Leah and there's the Porsche around them, zooming along the road and occasionally bouncing over potholes. And worries or not, the driver of the car looks very content.

It took Sam about half an hour after he'd left the farm to realize he'd probably overreacted. And in the true fashion of Winchesters men everywhere, he decided the best course of action would be to wait until his brother forgot about it before going back.

He'd driven in a random direction before realizing there was nowhere to go. Maybe you're catching him on a pitstop out of Smallville, in some small town where it may or may not have been wise to stop. Or maybe you waited long enough to find him in Metropolis again, raiding book stores.

Eventually, he's got to find something useful. Right?

The Winchester boys left Metropolis with goodbyes paid to their friends, a slightly uneasy air between them, and a few six packs tossed into the trunk.

It was the start to a truly excellent hunt. All they needed was... well, something to hunt. Fortunately, in this world, that didn't take too long.

The Impala rolls back into a town three weeks later. They might have come back earlier for Jo, for Leah but there had been towns to help, people to save.

...also, dinosaurs to find. Not that they happened to pass any but there'll be plenty of that in the future and there was plenty else to see and do, salt and burn.

Also, pranks to pull.

This time, Dean got the poison ivy slipped into his shorts but as Sam walks the streets of Metropolis to a very particular apartment, he's picking irritably at his hair.

He should have guessed Dean would attack his hair first and foremost, but he's still pissed about the glue in his shampoo.

Sam left Leah's apartment, and it's occupants, behind.

Not really behind. Just behind enough to give him some distance and a vague flash of guilt for not saying goodbye to Leah.

Of course, this is hours after he'd left. He had a little more on his mind than a friend's hurt feelings.

Going far isn't an option. Not when Dean could come back looking for him. Sam might not need his brother's car anymore, but he's not going to make it any harder for Dean to find him than it has to be. Not when he wants to be found.

Anyway. His Porsche is right outside a trashy bar just down the street from Leah's house. His headache is mostly gone and he's nursing the rest of it with a bottle of pretty crappy beer, occupying the rest of his brain with a book he'd picked up in Metropolis.

The Aerie One settles back at the farm within a day of its departure - and with two more people aboard. After promising to come back as soon as he finds his brother, Sam checks his supplies, grabs some food from the farmhouse's kitchen, loads up the Porsche, and gets ready to go.

He can be found (for scening) in one of several places:
-In front of the Aerie, packing his car
-In the farmhouse, looking for food
-On the road to Metropolis
-In Metropolis, looking for a parking place
-In Metropolis, on foot, looking for his brother.

He's still a little worried about Leah, but he has no doubt she'll be fine with Dinah until he gets back.
