PART 2

Chapter 2x22: Strong Connection

Nate woke up with a loud gasp for air and his eyes flashing his new turquoise color as he realized he was in Deaton's place lying on the examination table, he looked around seeing Isaac, Lydia and Deaton around him.

"What happened?" - asked Nate confused

"You are a Delta now" - said Deaton with his arms crossed smirking at the boy

"So the healing way your sister told me..." - trailed Nate

"Was the right way" - said Deaton - "you see...Delta's are also known for being healing werewolves, they can take the pain away beyond other werewolves, they can cure diseases and save lives but it doesn't take away their strength on the contrary of Derek if he would have done the same thing you did" - he explained

"So...it worked? Cora...is she ok?" - asked Nate as he stand up from the table with help

"Yeah, she's fine now, thanks to you" - said Lydia

"What would have happened if I would have killed someone?" - asked Nate

"You could have ended up being a corrupted version of a Delta which lead to you not having control of your actions and just serve your Alpha, have an urge to kill anyone that could put your pack in danger and you will also be in a constant state of rut like animals, needing to mate with someone" - said Deaton

"Ok...that explains some...stuff" - said Nate looking around - "where are the others?" - He asked referring to Stiles, Scott and Allison who weren't around

"They are finding something for a ritual" - explained Lydia

"What ritual?" - asked Nate confused

"You remember the one Deaton did with me when we were trying to see in my memory clues to find Erica and Boyd?" - asked Isaac

"Oh god...not that again" - groaned Nate

"But it's different this time, Stiles, Scott and Allison are gonna be the sacrifices for their parents so we can find the Nemeton, they are right now looking for an object that has a meaning and connects them to their parents" - explained Deaton - "and we are gonna need your help for the ritual" - he added

"Hope is not for healing again, because I feel busted after Cora" - joked Nate

"You'll recover quickly, benefits of being a Delta is that you heal more quickly than any other werewolf, but it's not for what we need you right now" - said Deaton

"So what's the deal?" - asked Nate when the bell of the animal clinic ringed

"Nate!" - called out Stiles going towards the boy pulling him for a hug

"Uh...Stiles..." - said Nate stunned while hugging back awkwardly

"Don't scare me like that again, you hear me?" - scolded Stiles

"Yes mom..." - said Nate rolling his eyes with a smirk as both separated from the hug

"So...you are a Delta now?" - asked Scott to Nate

"Well seems like it" - said Nate with a smirk flashing his turquoise eyes to everyone

"Wow" - murmured Stiles

"What? Does it look weird?" - asked Nate biting his bottom lip looking down

"No...they are not...actually they look beau-" - started to say Stiles

"Sorry to break up it up, but let's start the ritual" - interrupted Deaton gaining the attention of the group - "All right, what did you bring?" - He asked to Stiles

"Um, I got my dad's badge, Jennifer kind of crushed it in her hand, so I tried hammering it out a little bit, still doesn't look right" - said Stiles

"Well, it doesn't have to look good if it has meaning" - said Deaton

"Is that an actual silver bullet?" - asked Isaac to Allison curiously looking at her hand

"My dad made it, it's kind of a ceremonial thing, when one of us finishes learning all the skills to be a Hunter, we forge a silver bullet as a testament to the Code" - said Allison

"Scott?" - asked Deaton

"My dad got my mom this watch when she first got hired at the hospital, she used to say it was the only thing in their marriage that ever worked" - said Scott

"Okay, the three of you will get in, each of your friends will hold you under until you're essentially...well, dead" - explained Deaton

"Wait...by friends you mean...us" - asked Nate signaled at Isaac, Lydia and him

"Yes" - said Deaton - "but, it's not just someone to hold you under, it needs to be someone who can pull you back, someone with a strong connection to you" - he added

Nate started to move towards Scott thinking that they were going to have the strong connection after living together, his mother called him family before and also the fact that both of them are evolving Betas.

"Nate" - called out Deaton making him stop - "You go with Stiles" - he said

"What...are you sure? I mean, Lydia-" - started to say Nate

"She's with Allison" - interrupted Deaton - "and Isaac you go with Scott" - he added

The three teens up for the sacrifice walked each towards a place of the clinic to remove pieces of clothing that they couldn't use during the ritual.

"I...I can't do this" - said Nate walking towards Stiles while he was taking off his socks

"Nate is the only way we can find our parents and the Nemeton" - said Stiles

"I know, I know...but it's just..." - said Nate looking down

"What?" - asked Stiles worried while putting socks to a side and taking off his sweater

"I can't hold you down to die...I can't...Stiles...I can't do that...you don't know...maybe you will know...later...I need to tell you...but not now...it's just..." rambled Nate hyperventilating pacing around until Stiles grabbed his arm to stop him - "Stiles...I'm sorry...I-" - he started to say before he was cut off

Stiles was kissing him, just like when not so long ago the werewolf helped the human with his panic attack, but this time Nate was just freaking out and when he felt Stiles lips moving he could come to his senses quick enough to respond the kiss while putting his arms around Stiles neck while the pale boy was grabbing the silver haired boy by the hips, when the kiss was over Stiles leaned his forehead against Nate own, both teens were breathing slowly and in sync.

"Sorry...it was...something someone showed me to deal with panic attacks...but seems to work out general freak outs, I guess" - joked Stiles earning a giggle from the boy in his arms

"But...why?" - asked Nate looking at Stiles

"I been meaning to that long ago and...I didn't wanted you to remember our first kiss be some stupid kiss while I was having a panic attack" - answered Stiles

"It wasn't stupid...because it lead us to this" - said Nate making Stiles smile at him

"If you're ready Stiles, I think we should start" - called out Deaton

"Has anyone ever told you that you have a knack for ruining moments?" - complained Nate looking at Deaton rolling his eyes

"Hey...it's fine, we will resume this after everything is over" - said Stiles giving the werewolf a peck before grabbing his dad badge and walking towards the ice filled tubs with the rest

The three teens whose parents have been taken by the Darach were standing in front of a bathtub for each, Stiles turned to look at Nate nodding his way while the werewolf nodded back just before he and the other two teens started to get inside of the cold water until they sat on the tubs, they looked at each other just when Lydia, Nate and Isaac hold their shoulders, giving one last nod they submerge them into the tubs holding them down until they were "death" according to Deaton, surprisingly none of the teens inside of the water fight back letting the ones standing move their arms away once they were in the trance of the ritual.

"What now?" - asked Nate

"They can be there for hours...so we just wait" - said Deaton walking away

"Well...I'm guessing you told him how you feel" - said Isaac

"Or was he the one to tell you how he feels?" - asked Lydia

"Our friends are in the middle of a ritual and you both wanna talk about that?" - asked Nate looking at them and they just look back at him still waiting for an answer, the Delta groaned rolling his eyes - "he told me, if that even matters to both" - he said

"Pay" - said Lydia to Isaac who took money from his pocket and gave it to her

"You two seriously bet about who was gonna tell who first in the middle of all this?" - asked Nate looking at them incredulously

"We were just talking about it while you were out and the idea came up" - said Isaac

"I knew you wouldn't tell him even after all this is over, so I thought Stiles was gonna be the one telling you" - said Lydia who smirked at Isaac

"I hoped that you would actually tell him" - said Isaac rolling his eyes at Lydia

"I don't know what's worst, the bet or that you guys kinda knew this was gonna happened and didn't give me a clue" - said Nate

"We actually did, but like I told you before...you're oblivious" - said Isaac with a smirk

"Shut up" - said Nate crossing his arms - "you both are terrible friends" - he added as he leaned against a wall rolling his eyes while the other two just smirked at him


A/N: Of course our boy have to be the one with Stiles on the ritual, also I thought Stiles needed give Nate a kiss himself and let me tell you we live for Stiles being a little dominant in this house but without letting his soft side.

I also had to change Lydia and Isaac on the ritual leaving Deaton out of it, since Isaac made a big connection with Scott like a lost puppy with his owner they have to be the ones together and Lydia being "Allison's best friend" both could be together as well, besides it made sense for me to keep them on the ritual and let Deaton on the side.
