Summary:
The road trip was really boring until he found the superheroes.

Review:
A bored little boy on a family cross-country move sees the Winchester brothers sparring at a rest stop. Of course, he knows exactly what they are: superheroes in disguise.

Set early in season one, we get a glimpse of Sam and Dean reconnecting after their pre-series separation the Winchester way, with sparring and snark. Josh, the original character and the story's narrator, with his child's perceptiveness sees them for what they are. The author creates a believable character, and I love his view of the brothers, epitomized by the following quote:

"...he knew they were superheroes because he read a lot of comic books and some of them, especially the ones without special powers, had to do training. Even after they were good at it, they still practiced. Also, he couldn't think of anybody else who would be fighting each other like that at a rest stop unless they were mortal enemies."
