At the Everwood residence, Morgan got home from after her afternoon schooling.

"Hey guys. I'm home!" Morgan shouted out. Blaire was worried now, Morgan always checked on her to make sure she wasn't trying to put a curse on bullies. She rushed to her door as she heard Morgan approach.

"Hey sis!" She was nervous and giving it all away.

"What are you doing this time kitty." She entered the room.

"Stuff! Adult stuff!" She rushed back in then saw her computer was in hacking mode.

"What did you do this time.." She looked at her sister. Defeated, Blaire showed her sister exactly what was going on.

"Is that Jeremy!" She sounded angry and confused. "What's that wolf doing?" She asked her sister.

"It's Madison. Long story short. We have a new rival gang and they wanted to single someone out and they choose her. Jeremy found her and saved her life from what I understand. Someone just attacked him and now he's out cold." She explained. Morgan watched with Blaire to see how the situation unfolded.

At Teufort, Medic finally showed up to help Scout. Madison didn't trust Medic aiming at Scout with a crossbow. She had ended up moving in front of Scout after seeing the crossbow. Her eyes were still narrored and trained on it.

"I see our wolf freund has returned to pay Scout back." Medic started. She gave a small snarl. She knew that Medic could help, but she didn't trust what he was using one bit.

"Careful doc. She's in a protective state." Engineer tried to calm Madison down by approaching slowly. Now he was someone that she trusted more. He had helped her the other day along with Scout. He also wasn't trying to use what she saw as a weapon to help him.

"There we are. Easy girl. Don't worry, Medic won't hurt Scout." Engineer stroked behind her ear to get her to calm down. Madison mentally cursed as she realized he had found that one spot that always got her to calm down. Most people outside of her pack wouldn't have even attempted it. She leaned a little bit into the touch.

"Doc you may want to just use the Medigun 'stead of that thing. You're putting her on edge." Engineer took off his goggles to look Medic in the eyes. Medic then nodded and left to get the Medigun, despite the inconvenience it was. "See girl. No more threat." He continued to pet behind her ear. Sniper walked closer.

"How'd you know that would calm the sheila down?" He was curious.

"I just had a good feelin'." Engineer responded. Madison turned her gaze to Sniper for a few seconds before she laid down, sprawling along Scouts side. Sniper was curious on the wolf, he had recently picked up a few novels on the wolves in Native American culture. He was a bit of an odd one out in RED being recently moved from BLU. He remembered one detail about the stories. Wolves were calm and majestic creatures, but they were proud and fierce beasts. This one seemed no different than those stories.

"Such a proud beasty you are, ain't ya." Sniper sat next to the wolf and let her do what she wanted. Madison looked at him and tilted her head a little bit in confusion. She leaned towards him and smelled his scent. He smelled nice, no fear, he could be trusted. She placed her head on her front paws, now that she was relaxed everyone else had left when the briefcase was safely secured. All those who were left were Pyro, Scout, Sniper, and Engineer. Sniper had fallen asleep next to Madison and made for a nice pillow. She took advantage of that as she set her head on his lap. It was a good way to tell that she trusted someone. Medic never did return with the Medi-gun as he was supposed to, so Scout had to heal on his own accord.

Madison got up after a little while. She didn't want to risk falling asleep in front of them and having a repeat of how Scout found out. She made her way towards where she had hid the clothes she had been wearing. She remembered that she left the shower on to make it appear like she was taking a shower. Madison made her way in and shifted back. She got her hair wet to make it look like she had just gotten out before turning it off. She quickly got dressed again and left the room. She had to make it look like she was running to the room, luckily Demo was nearby talking about Scout getting knocked out. Even calling him kind of brave. Madison couldn't help but smile a little bit at that.

It wasn't long before she got back to the room. She had left the beanie off for now, not wanting to get it wet.

"Hey guys. How's Scout doing? Heard Demo talking about something going on while I was in the shower?" Madison asked walking over.

"He, Pyro, and some wolf took on an enemy Spy by themselves." Engineer responded.

"Such a proud beast she was. You know… Her eyes kind of looked like yours…" Sniper said getting up from laying down.

"Really now?" She asked.

"Yeah, kind of proud like you are too. Not timid at all. Laid right next to Scout and eventually put her head on moi lap.." Sniper looked around then walked past her and closed the door for people to get in and walked back.

"Somethin' wrong Mundy?" Engineer asked. Panic rose in Madison once the door closed.

"You're an American Shifter ain't you." He looked into Madison's eyes. Not with anger or frustration, but concern. All she really felt like she could do in response was nod. "Your a long ways from home ain't ya." He got to her level. "Don't worry. Your secrets safe with us." He gave a small smile. She then saw it on his neck. He too was a shifter.

"Hudda hudda…"

"What do you mean you knew before me!" Engi was a little upset that Pyro kept information from him.

"Easy Dell. You kept my secret. They're keepin' hers. That's why you protected Scout ain't it. He's special to ya." He asked Madison.

"Yeah, he is." She wasn't going to explain how unless she knew that he was alright with it.

"I understand. I felt a small bond with him when I joined. I'm just sorry I nearly ate him because I couldn't control the curse by Merasmus." That explained who would have an owl head. But what was his true form?

"It's alright. It's not something you can really control." She gave him a soft smile. Sniper then looked to Scout, he wondered on what should be done.

"Mundy. There's a water way right over here. I've dug around in there before. Maybe we could use the water to get you some time to stay out of human form for a while. And maybe wake Scout up." Engineer pointed out a large grate in the vault room.

"Have to leave my clothes under the desk. But it could work." He walked over to help get the grate open.

"Coming along you two?" Sniper asked Pyro and Madison. Madison nodded after thinking it over for a moment. Pyro agreed instantly wondering what Sniper would be. Madison had to look away as Sniper disrobed and started to change. She heard hissing and looked over to see a Crocodile. That wasn't one that she would see up north, which was understandable. Most shifters shifted into something that fit where they were born or grew up.

"If you want Madison. You can leave your stuff here too and stretch out a bit more down there. It might help Scout a bit too if you were still in wolf form." Engi suggested before helping Pyro get Scout on Snipers back. She dipped out of the room for a moment. She came back after a moment carrying the her clothes in her mouth. She set them in a corner. Sniper hissed to her.

"So Sheila. Not afraid of this big 'ol Croc are ya?"

"Not at all. I know I can trust ya," She answered him.

"Good. You know Scout's most likely going to panic when he sees me. That and I'm gonna hiss at him because the damn kid ruined my coffee this morning." Sniper started to slink into the waterway. Madison followed closely behind.

"How did he ruin your coffee?" She asked.

"Did you see a mouse this morning while with him?" He asked her in response.

"Very briefly, yes." Madison started to see where this was going.

"It was the second part of my breakfast. Things been fighting with me all day. I have human biology most of the time. So swallowing a mouse whole makes it hard for me to be a predator with it moving around so damn much." He hissed. Scout looked peaceful on his back despite the large bruise on his head forming.

"Why'd you eat it though? Wouldn't it be obvious and easy to avoid as a human?" Madison asked.

"Oi ain't picky. As a bushman you never know when your next meal comes around at home." Sniper explained and he moved from the concrete to the water.

"Easy Mundy. Waters high today. No doubt he could drown if you lose him." Engineer warned. Sniper then looked ahead and started to swim. They each made their way to an open area, almost like an underground jungle.
