Night School

With Kate

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. A little something I've had running in my head lately and ignores any hostile negativity between Kate and Derek in season 1. Also features my own take on why the Hale Fire got started and Laura never died.


As Derek stayed leaned up against his Camaro while waiting on the two boys to do whatever the heck it is they were planning to do inside the school, a Suburban pulled up and when he got a good look at who it was, he groaned at the sight of the person. Getting out and closing the door, the mystery visitor had a smile on her face as she came up to him. "Looking to get another education Der?" Asked the woman teasingly and making him roll his eyes at her.

"What are you doing here Kate?"

She gave him a little pout as he was just no fun being all no nonsense! Walking up to him, she grabbed the lapels of his leather jacket and leaned into him a little, earning her a growl from the man that she found sexy. "You are no fun babe."

"Yeah well, that's what happens when your childhood home burns to the ground and then you're having to try and track down a rogue Alpha."

Kate winced over the Hale Fire mention as her dad had been rather furious when he found out that his daughter was dating a Werewolf. It didn't help when she and Derek got the bright idea to go to Vegas and get married, prompting his family to chase them down to prevent it and failing to do so. Peter Hale had been the only Hale still in Beacon Hills at the time as he wanted nothing to do with that whole thing and was a highly unfortunate comatose burn victim in the aftermath of her father's actions. Actions that landed him in Eichen for life and a sizable amount of his own personal bank accounts being used to re-build the Hale home. Kate and Derek hadn't really seen one another since then since none of the Hales were too happy with the Argents.

"Oh come on, that was years ago and besides, the place got fixed up better than ever!"

"That's besides the point, your father's a maniac and my uncle was lucky to have survived that."

If one could call his current condition as having survived anyway. "A maniac who's in Eichen though! So lighten up and get on board for us making up for lost time!" Years of lost time that is.

Derek frowned at her as he tried to politely keep her from moving his hands to her butt. "There is no lost time Kate, we're divorced remember? My mother doesn't even want us near the other." Not to mention she's very unhappy with Scott dating Allison even though he wasn't part of their pack.

Kate gave him a look however that instantly gave him a bad feeling. "Actually… About that… That divorce? Yeah… That never happened."

"WHAT!?" Oh God, his mother was going to kill him!

"Yeesh, no need to yell babe! I'm right here after all!"

He rolled his eyes at her and before he could stop it, she kissed him and were his mother here right now, she would be highly unhappy with the fact he was kissing his wife back. At least until he pushed her away anyway. "No! Absolutely not because we can't do this. And we need a divorce. Like now."

She frowned at him with her arms crossed. "Oh come on babe, the last thing we need is a divorce! Especially when we should be working on making our marriage be a healthy long lasting thing!"

"Yeah, no." Though his response had been a rejection, any adamancy to it was not very strong, making for a happy Kate as she had a good feeling he was wanting things to be a whole lot better between the two of them.

"Babe, we can go to your mother together and convince her of how this between us is a good idea. I know you want it as much as I do!" Tried the woman and before he could yet again stop her, she landed another kiss on him.

One that actually had his arms wrap around her as he deepened the kiss. I'm going to Hell. Thought the man as he heard his wife give off a very happy moan.

A car then pulled up, breaking the two's passionate kiss and making for a happy Kate Argent when she saw her niece come out of the car. "Allison! My favorite niece!" Squealed the woman as she rushed to her and hugged her.

"Kill me now." Muttered Derek as he witnessed the girlie moment.

Allison just laughed as she hugged her aunt while Jackson just stood where he was with an amused smile on his lips while Lydia rolled her eyes from inside the car. Though she rather liked the family moment but she wasn't about to let them know that. "What, what are you doing here!?" Asked the young Argent and wondered if she had anything to do with Scott's text to come here.

"Oh you know, just enjoying a little quality alone time with my sweet and hunky husband." Kate told her with a grin as she pointed at Derek.

Allison looked at him in surprise as she had no idea her aunt was married! "Oh, I uhh… Sorry to ruin the moment then."

"Oh not at all sweetie. Besides, its time you met your uncle anyway."

Derek got an appalled look on his face that had the girl giggling and even Kate being amused by it when she caught the look on his face. Essentially being Chris Argent's brother in law as he just now somehow realized the fact was a highly disturbing concept for the Beta. Derek just let out a sigh as he walked up to them. "What brings you by?"

"I got a text from Scott saying to come here." Replied the girl and earning a confused look from her newly discovered uncle in the process.

"That's not possible because his phone is still broken. Hell, I should know since he's still pissed with me for breaking it."

Kate was about to ask why he had broken the phone of her niece's adorable little puppy when a sound so horrible but amusing at the same time happened. Derek looked towards the school again with another appalled look on his face. "You gotta be kidding me." Groaned the man, making Kate laugh at him.

"What the Hell was that?" Asked Jackson in shock as holy crap was that horrible.

"That would be either Scott or Stiles." Answered the man.

Jackson was about to ask why the Hell those two were doing weird crap like that when they could all hear the two start to talk. Now what Scott and Stiles had failed to realize is that the intercom button tended to get stuck after you pressed it and had to mash down on it hard in order to get it to fully shut off. "Was that okay? I mean that was a howl right?"

"I, yeah… Technically."

"Well, what did it sound like to you?"

"Like a cat being choked to death Scott."

Kate burst out into laughter while the others just looked on towards the school and Derek was once again wishing for something to kill him then and there as this was the most embarrasing thing ever. Allison was about to ask why her boyfriend was trying to howl over the intercom system when the conversation continued on. "What do I do? How am I supposed to do this!?"

"Hey, hey. Listen to me. You're calling the Alpha. Alright? Be a man. Be a Werewolf, not a teen wolf. Be a Werewolf. Do it"

The laughter that had increased from Kate had gone deathly silent when she finally realized that Scott's friend had mentioned an Alpha and looked towards her husband in alarm. A click of the button could be heard and everyone heard the loudest howl ever heard in existence. One that also sounded a bit like a growl too. Freaking the Hell out of Lydia in the process while Derek just facepalmed himself. "I'm gonna kill em." Growled the man.

"Holy s**t!" Yelled out Kate in admiration as damn!

Though after the moment of appreciation was over, she hauled ass to her Suburban and grabbed a shotgun and a box of bullets and quickly loaded them as she went back to Derek's side. Making for a rather alarmed trio of teenagers in the process. "Kate! What's going on!?"

Turning to her niece with a serious expression on her face, Kate quickly got to talking. "Your puppy just did something really stupid kiddo."

"No kidding." Groused Derek as his mom was going to kill him for this!

"What, what do you mean!? How'd he even do that!?"

"Don't you think that, I don't know, you're over reacting a little?" Jackson asked with a slight condescending tone in his voice and getting a look of annoyance for it from the woman.

"Kid, when it comes to an Alpha? There is NO such thing as over reacting."

Derek gave a nod to support that statement. Jackson just scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Can you please tell me what the Hell an Alpha is!?" Shrieked out Allison as her aunt readied her shotgun while her husband asked if she had any more guns cause they were gonna need them.

Any response the two could have made was prevented however when the opening of the front doors of the school could be heard, allowing for Scott and Stiles to come out of the building. Stiles was even smiling proudly at his best friend. "YOU TWO! I'm gonna kill both of you as what the Hell was that!? Attempting to attract the entire state!?" Yelled out Derek as he pointed a finger at them.

"Sorry, I didn't know it'd be so loud." Scott sheepishly told him right before he found himself with an arm full of one Allison Argent and making him rather confused.

Stiles, not paying much attention to those two, continued on like it hadn't even happened. "Yeah, it was loud… And AWESOME!" Sang out the boy and getting a look of annoyance from the two adults.

"Shut up."

"Aww come on, don't be such a Sour Wolf." Kate, despite the mounting seriousness of the situation couldn't help but grin over that.

"I'm stealing that one." She told him seconds later and earning a groan from Derek too for it.

Scott stepped away from Allison who made sure to keep a grip on his hand as he looked towards Derek's Camaro. "Hey! What'd you do with him!?"

Derek looked at him confused. "I didn't do anything."

The teenager just pointed at the opened door and Derek looked at it with a frown on his face. "Was someone supposed to be in there?" Asked Kate curiously.

"Yeah, my boss."

"YOUR BOSS!?"

A sigh escaped Derek after that. "Yeah, I thought his boss was the Alpha and Scott here disagreed with that."

Getting a nod of understanding from the woman, she now realized just why Allison's adorable puppy had done that howl. Even if it was stupid as Hell. Before more could be said however, Derek was suddenly up in the air with blood pouring out of his mouth. Making for Allison and Lydia to scream in surprise for slightly different reasons. The thing growled menacingly as the teenagers started running for the inside of the school after Lydia quickly got out of Jackson's car. Then right in front of Kate, she watched as the man she loved was thrown a good distance away and into the wall of the school. "Derek!" Yelled out the woman before turning her focus back to the fully shifted Werewolf, which was a rarity all in its own.

She then started to unload on it with her shotgun, and it was enough to give her time to get to Derek. "Just… Leave me… To die in… Peace..."

"Sorry, but I can't do that babe. You and I have a lot to make up for!" And wrapping an arm of his around her, she got him inside where the others were waiting before they locked up the door with the bolt cutters.

"Yeah, you definitely did something stupid as Hell Scottie!" Informed Kate to the boy as she continued to hold Derek.

Scott had a freaked out look on his face. "Yeah, I'm… I'm starting to get that."


Author's Notes: Oh boy, he's definitely starting to get that! I probably could have made this a really long one-shot, but I figured it'd be better to make it a two-parter. Or maybe a three-parter if I can wing it.
