Stiles pulls into the parking lot of the factory. Hale & Co. was plastered over the entrance. His dad had suggested the place to work after they had moved to Beacon Hills. After a few calls and interviews, the opening was his.
Parking his jeep, Stiles kills the engine. He hadn't wanted to move, but after losing his best friend his father thought it best to change the scenery of their lives. He and Allison had been thick as thieves growing up.
They were neighbors and had both lost their mothers at a young age. Their single fathers had both stepped up to the plate to help raise their children. Allison was his sister his sister, they did everything together. Even going to college together. She was going to be a detective, while Stiles was going to make a nurse. They had shared an apartment together for two years. Then the Nogitsune possessed Stiles, Allison tried to help, but that only got her killed. Chris, Allison's father, is who finally saved Stiles and killed the Nogistune.
Stiles' father decided after that they should move. They have been in Beacon Hills for two weeks now. Stiles couldn't find the motivation to go back to college, not without Ally. So his dad suggested a job.
Stiles sighs, looking at the clock.
6:55 a.m.
Well he doesn't need to be late on his first day. Walking in, he is greeted by a security guard.
The man is handsome with stunning blue eyes, he smiles brightly. "You must be the new guy, my name is Jordan Parrish. Come around to the side and I'll help you out."
Stiles nods, listening to instructions.
"Okay, first I need you to print your name for me and sign here. Good, now Mr. Stilinski please stand against the wall and smile for the camera."
Stiles gives his best fake smile. He hasn't been able to truly smile for the last three weeks.
"Great, your badge will be ready by lunch. For now just use this visitor's badge."
" , looks like you've taken care of our new employe."
Stiles turns to see a super model. The woman before him has strawberry blonde hair and an outfit that hugs her body in all the right places. She is gorgeous!
"This is Miss Martin." Jordan says a little daydreamy.
Miss Martin smiles at him before turning to Stiles. "You can call me Lydia. I'll be the one giving you your introduction."
Stiles follows her into the building.
"Today we are mainly going to go over paperwork then we will take a tour." She explains as they enter a conference room. Stiles takes a seat next to hers. "First off, I need you to answer a few questions for me. Are you human?"
Stiles raises an eyebrow at her. What kind of question is that?
"Yes." He finally gets out.
"Do you know about supernatural beings?"
Stiles is taken aback. What kind of job did his father send him to? "Y-Yes."
"Good. We knew you did we just have to double check."
"How did you know?"
"A man named Chris recommended you. To my understanding he is an ex-hunter."
"Yes, that's right."
Chris not only raised Allison in the hunter life, but Stiles as well. Both father's taught them about their jobs, one was Law Enforcement while the other was hunting. Though Stiles was decent with a gun, he never trust himself to actually be good in the field with it. Allison is the one that showed him the ways with bow. He was and will never be as good as her but he is deadly.
"Well, this place is not an ordinary factory. It is a factory built on the goal to employ supernatural creatures. This is a job where they can be themselves without the worry of exposing their species. So we are going to have to watch some safety videos over dealing with supernatural situations."
Stiles sat through corny safety videos on how to be leery of wolves during the full moon, stay away from vampires if you are injured or on your period, and so on and so forth. If a supernatural creature is to attack you on or off the property you are to report it right away, flashes across the screen before going into the safety videos for humans. After almost an hour of video, Stiles is almost asleep.
"Okay Stiles, before we continue do you have any questions or concerns?"
Stiles looks at the woman next to him. He couldn't believe there is a company that knows about and hires the supernatural creatures. "How does this work? Arn't there territories? Coven wars? Packs out for blood? How do you have so many supernatural employes working in peace?"
Lydia smiles at him. "That's the beauty of this place. Since Beacon Hills is so big, plenty of territories border it. The man that made this company, Mr. Derek Hale, brought all of these covens, packs, groups, and even loners together to make a treaty. Beacon Hills is a dead zone. Any pack, coven, etc. can live in or come into the city. That means its the surrounding territories' responsibility to protect and watch over the city. Mr. Hale gave up a chunk of his own territory for this to happen. This allows a lot of loners to move in. Mr. Hale and the others also allow travel through their territories for work. That is what has made this work. This company has not only brought peace, but a bond with all the supernatural creatures that work here. The way we work things out? Well one example is vampires are only allowed to work at night, humans during the day. We don't want to risk any problems with that."
Stiles couldn't help but let his mouth drop open. "That's amazing." Never before has he heard of such a huge territory treaty to take place and its not only with one species! Its with any that can drive to work here.
"Well thank you. We really pride ourselves on keeping this place up and going for all creatures."
Stiles nods.
"Now onto paper work." Lydia pushes a stack of paper and a pen towards Stiles.
Stiles signs, signatures, and reads all the required paper work for forty minutes. Finally, he lays the pen down with a sigh.
"I know its a lot, but now that all of that is out of the way, lets give you a tour."
Stiles stands to stretch before following Lydia out the door.
"Here on the two TVs you will see where you are needed. If your line is down they might move you."
Stiles glances at the TVs with names and numbers. So he will have to make checking these a morning routine.
"Here, we are required to wear ear plugs when entering the floor."
Stiles takes the green sponges and tries his best to properly place them in his ears, though they are still uncomfortable.
"Can you here me?" Lydia asks a little loud.
Stiles nods. She leads the way into the factory. Stiles is hit with the paper metallic smell as soon as he walks through the doors. Its something else he will have to get use to.
"On one side we have the bindery, on the other is the press. That will be your side. You will be trained on both sides incase your line gets shut down."
Stiles' eues roam the different machines and people as they walk. His eyes catch on a woman not wearing any gloves or protective gear working in a High Voltage box. Tapping Lydia on the shoulder, he points the woman out.
"Is that safe?"
Lydia smiles at him, "Yes, she is a kitsune and electricity is her element."
Stiles' stomach churns at the mention of the type of creature. A Nogistune is a type of Kitsune.
"Stiles are you okay?"
Stiles didn't realize he had started to shake. "Y-Yeah. Sorry. Bad experience with one of her kind."
Lydia pierces her lips as she glances at the Kitsune. "No worries, I'll keep you away from her during work."
Stiles only nods.
"Now lets go have a look at your line."
He follows her to the press side, all the way to the back wall. A machine is running with about eight feeders. Men were the only ones present working on the machines.
"This is line 317. You'll be working with this group."
Stiles watches as the men working the feeders lift huge stacks of papers with ease as they load them onto their machine's belts. One even sprouts claws to cut the paper surrounding his next load.
"These are all werewolves. On the feeders you have Scott, Isaac, and Liam. Your operator is Boyd. The two loading the finished product up on the crates is Jeffery and Kyle. Ben is on break. Kyle is going to college, so Liam will be taking over his job while you replace him."
Stiles nods. The wolves all had huge ear protection muffs on. Even with that he is curious on how they protect their super-hearing.
"Tomorrow, Isaac will show you the ropes."
One of the wolves look up at them. He has a lop sided jaw and puppy eyes. He grins and waves. Stiles waves back awkwardly. "Which one is that?"
"That's Scott, he might pressure Isaac into letting him teach you instead. He loves making new friends." Lydia says with a roll of her eyes. "Okay, you've seen the factory, let's go back to the conference room and finish up the day."
As they make their way back through the factory, Stiles' eyes catch on a production line that was roped off with a cage. A sign hangs at the end of it, 'High Security Product in Production. Authorization required.'
"What's the place?"
"Oh, we also print marvel collectables. That is where they are made. They are stored in the cage when we are done. Marvel is the reason we can only enter through the front door. You cannot take any of their product off the line or post about it. You will be fired if anything like that happens."
Wow. Marvel don't fuck around.
"How do I work there?" Stiles couldn't keep the excitement out of his voice. To be able to make a marvel collectable is every nerds dream.
"You have to have a special badge to work back there and when they do work they have a small crew."
And just like that his dreams were crushed. They exit the factory floor into the main hall. Pulling out the ear plugs was like a God send. Stiles could barely stand not being able to hear clearly. How can the supernatural creatures stand it? On the way back to the room a man walks out of an office.
Not just any man though. A fucking hot god. He is gorgeous with his cropped black hair, strong jaw line covered in light stubble, his muscles clearly showing through his dark blue button up, and his black dress pants hugging him brilliantly.
"Ah, this is the man that started this company." Lydia stops, catching the man's attention. "This is Mr. Hale, Hale & Co. CEO."
Holy fucking Hale! His boss is this flawless man? Mr. Hale's eyes flash red as he gives a small smile. Fuck, he can probably smell his arousal. Stiles tries to calm himself as he gives a nervous smile back.
"Mr. Hale, this is our new employe, Mr. Stiliniski. He will be on line 317, A crew." Lydia introduces.
Mr. Hale's eyebrows rise at the mention of Stiles' line and crew. "You let me know if anyone on that line breaks any of the rules." He fixes Stiles in a stern gaze.
It should have been threatening instead it only turns Stiles on more. Derek's nose wrinkles a tad before he excuses himself form the conversation. Fuck! How can he royally embarrass himself like that in front of his CEO. He is so fired.
"Come on Stiles." Lydia had started walking, Stiles being to caught up in his panic had stayed planted. Way to make it obvious.
Once they were in the conference room, Stiles took relief in sitting. His urge to run from the embarrassment killed.
"Don't worry about Mr. Hale. He isn't that scary once you get to know him."
Stiles can only nod.
"So are there any questions for me?"
"Yes, I have a few."
"Go."
"Where can I buy a pair of steeled toed boots?"
"Wal-mart has some fairly cheap."
"What about ear plugs?"
"We will have different samples for you tomorrow."
"Where do I go tomorrow?"
"Wait for me where Jordan is."
"What are you?"
Lydia pauses before giving an award winning smile. "I'm a banshee. They try to keep us as supervisors to watch the facility. It's a way of predicting when something bad is going to happen so we have a chance to prepare."
Stiles is awed. Not only is this a work place for supernatural creatures, but has taken their abilities and strategically placed them.
"Any more questions?"
"No ma'am."
"Well you are free to go today. Stop by the front desk to see if Parrish has your badge ready."
Stiles heads to the front hoping to avoid Mr. Hale. Thankfully there is no sign of him.
"Mr. Stilinski! Hoe did it go?" Jordan greets.
"It went good. I am suppose to see if you had my badge ready."
"Yes sir, here you go." Stiles' I.D. badge has his picture below the company name. His name is bold underneath that with a number and bar code. "Okay, your front bar code is what you use to scan in. The back bar code is to scan out."
"Okay, thank you." Stiles starts to open the door, but turns back to Jordan. "Jordan, what are you?"
"Hellhound. Figured since my kind has guarded the gates of Hell, I could guard the factory."
Stiles smiles back at him. "That sounds like a good plan."
Stiles walks to his jeep a little excited. He just knows he is going to enjoy this job. Climbing into the jeep he cranks it up. Before pulling out he digs his cellphone out of his pocket and dials a number he'll never forget. After about six rings the call goes to voicemail.
"Hey, this is Allison! Can't get to the phone right now. Leave a message after the beep."
"Hey, Ally. I was just wanting to let you know that I got a job. Things seem to be looking up for us. I start tomorrow. Ally you would love this place. Wish you were here tough, I really miss you. I'm so-" Stiles is cut off by another beep.
He throws his phone into the passenger seat with a sigh. He stops by Wal-mart to pick up a pair of steeled toed boots before heading home. Walking through the front door of his house, Stiles is greeted with a furnished home. When he left this morning that only had a few boxes scattered around the house, now it actually looks like a home.
"Dad?" He calls as he lays his things down on the new dinning room table. "Dad?" He calls again.
"In the living room."
Stiles walks in to see his dad in the recliner watching football with Chris. "Chris?"
"Hey, Stiles." The older man greets.
"What are you doing here?"
"I thought a move would be good for me too. I helped your dad with finishing up the house and I now live in an apartment a block away."
Stiles couldn't help but give a small smile. "That's great."
"Son, why don't you take a seat and tell us about your day?"
So Stiles sits with the two men that raised him and talked while watching football. For a little bit, everything felt like it use to.
