Derek's Loft 15 Minutes Later

Melissa had been none too happy with Liam being at her house but had quickly given Isaac a warm hug and had even allowed for him to check in on Scott while she kept Liam in the living room with Mason to keep him company. Something he'd done quietly so as not to wake the guy up from the sleep he seriously needed and seeing his friend and Alpha look so wrecked just didn't sit well with him at all. And as he'd made his way downstairs, Isaac would get a text from Derek to meet him at the Loft and if it was possible, to see if Melissa was willing to come too as they needed her medical experience and caring nature. She'd been a bit reluctant but a promise from Mason to keep an eye on him helped sway her a little. Though before she left, she did check in on her boy herself and even kiss him on the forehead with the promise of coming back as soon as possible. The only thing Scott had done was just shift in his sleep before she reluctantly left. Though her reluctance would soon fly out the window 15 minutes later when she saw who was in the Loft!

Liam himself would be stunned as Hell as it shouldn't be possible that Hayden was there! And alive for that matter! Melissa quickly rushed to the foursome who'd died in various ways and quickly checked each of them out while talking to them as gently as possible to ensure they were okay. Or as okay as they could be considering they'd all been dead. As she did her work, Liam just stood where he was and barely registered the fact that someone had passed by him. Said someone being a highly frantic Deputy Valerie Clark who immediately rushed over to her sister. Her presence being on account of Stiles and the fact he had the number of every Deputy in at the Sheriff's Department for one reason or another. "Oh God, what happened!?" Asked the older sister in alarm but received no answer from her sister.

"She's another of the Chimeras the Sheriff has had you all trying to find recently." Answered Melissa as she finished checking over Corey and then went to Hayden next.

Clark looked at her in horror over that. "And she… She was?"

Melissa only nodded, causing the Deputy's eyes to start glistening. "I tried to do all I could for her, but the Mercury she was poisoned with was too much in the end. I'm not, I'm not even sure how she and the other three here are even alive."

"The tied up piece of garbage in the corner over there is how." Answered Jackson helpfully as he pointed a finger in the direction he was referring too.

Causing the two women to look in that direction and making Melissa's eyes narrow. "Umm… How is he responsible?"

"Because, he's been working with the Dread Doctors for a really long time and he knew they had a way to bring back the dead." Derek answered grimly.

"He's also responsible for the reason I had to bring my son back from the dead last night."

"He… He ripped my, my throat out." Gasped out Josh as he looked at the knocked out form of Theo with fear in his eyes.

Melissa looked at him with a kind and caring look on her face. "And he'll never able to do it again."

"And once Braeden, Stiles, Cora, and Malia find the one who put the Sheriff in the hospital, I'll be looking to ensure he'll never able to do anything again." Promised Derek.

Melissa nodded at that and then had an idea come to mind. "You may want to speak with Ken then considering Theo's possible involvement with Kira's control problems lately."

Derek nodded at that and took her offered phone to go and make a call to the man, hoping he wouldn't be too annoyed with being called so early. Though he doubted any annoyances he felt would quickly go out the window once he learned why he had been called. "I have so many questions right now..." Muttered a tearful Clark as she kept her hands on her baby sister while Melissa checked her over to ensure she was okay.

"And they'll be answered, but right now, let's make sure these kids are okay. Or as okay as they'll ever be after all this."

"Hay… Hayden..." Gasped out Liam after standing for so long in stunned silence.

His voice causing the very possibly catatonic Hayden to look his way with a wide eyed expression on her face. "You..." Began the girl.

"You… You promised..." Continued Hayden as she started to get up and then ran at the young Beta.

"YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD GET MY SISTER!" Screamed the Chimera as she started to hit on him and refusing to stop.

"YOU PROMISED! YOU PROMISED! I DIED WITHOUT MY SISTER! I DIED WITHOUT HER! I ONLY HAD MRS. MCCALL WITH ME WHEN I SHOULD HAVE HAD MY SISTER WITH ME TOO!"

Her assault on him had caused him to fall to the ground as he tried to shield himself form her strikes with tears coming down his face as he tried to get her to stop. Jackson and Isaac soon intervened and pulled the sobbing, screaming girl away from the boy on the floor as she tried as hard as she could to get out of their grips and keep hitting Liam for failing to keep his promise. "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!"

"I'M SORRY!"

"IT'LL NEVER BE ENOUGH! YOU HEAR ME!? NEVER!"

Hayden soon found herself being hugged by her older sister, allowing her to cry hard into her chest as Clark cried just as hard while steadfastedly ignoing Liam altogether. Who stayed where he was as he felt he was unable to move from the spot he was lying on as he cried tears of his own. "I've failed… I've failed so much..." Whispered the boy to himself, and making those with enhanced senses closing their eyes over the regret that was rolling off the young boy in waves.

"What… What do we do now?" Wondered Corey to himself mostly but still asking the question loud enough for everyone to hear despite not meaning too.

Looks came his way but those present aside from one individual were unsure of the answer, but they would all do their best to help them out the best they can. Said individual knelt down in front of the kid and began to speak. "You keep going and make the best with your second chance at life. Use what you've been given to help others if you want, or just try and be a kid if you still can while making sure nobody else ever tries to use you for anything you don't want to be part of. This goes for you three as well." Said Jackson strongly and causing all four teens to look his way.

The four of them then nodded as they all felt like he was something of a kindred spirit when it came to horrible circumstances like their own. Even though he likely wasn't experimented on. Melissa and Derek both looked at the young man with pride on their faces. "I think both Scott and Lydia would be proud of you right now for that." Said the nurse mother seriously.

Her words made him feel bashful but also rather happy as well. "Thank you." He told her softly but meaningfully.

Melissa smiled back at him and even leaned over and gave his shoulder a comforting squeeze as Derek hung up his phone. "Alright, Ken is gonna be over here pretty soon. And I imagine he's gonna want to have a very serious talk with our unwanted guest."

"I want to be part of that." Declared Clark adamantly and would fight tooth and nail on this if she had too.

Seeing that she wouldn't be deterred, Derek merely nodded an agreement before going off to find some quilts or something for the four kids if they needed it and wishing the idea had come a lot sooner. Things were silent for a bit until Hayden hesitantly asked a question on her mind. "Did… Did he really kill Scott last night?"

Melissa blew out a breath as she looked towards the grief stricken young lady. "Yes… He tried… Even succeeded since he tricked Liam into softening him up… But thankfully… Thankfully I was able to bring back my son and I thank God for that as I wouldn't know what to do without him."

"Always thought McCall was a nice guy…" Muttered Tracy for the first time as she clutched tightly to the quilt the guy who had handed her her ass earlier had given her.

"I'm sure he'll be happy to know you think that, sweetie."

Some soft, calming music then started to play courtesy of Jackson as he thought it would help the four out much like it had done for him. And thankfully it worked as each of them soon fell asleep afterwards and were placed on Derek's bed and they all clung to one another in their sleep as well. Melissa then decided to pay a visit to the hospital to see how her long time friend was doing before heading on home to be with her son while Isaac took Liam home as he decided it'd be best to wait until later for him to see Scott. When that would be however, the curly haired Wolf wasn't sure of.


Author's Notes: Hopefully, despite my exhaustion, this hasn't suffered any cause of it. I could definitely see Hayden actually having a response like the one she had towards Liam in this chapter on the show if the runners would actually focus on stuff like that for characters other then Stiles longer then a few short seconds/minutes. R and R!
