PART 3
Chapter 3x11: Trade Secrets
Nate slowly woke up stretching his body, he turned to hug Stiles and realize that he wasn't there, he opened his eyes confused and saw that he was in a hospital bed, then he remembered about what happened yesterday and that Melissa put him on the bed with special blankets to help with the cold temperature he had after being marked by the Oni.
The Delta sits up and started to make his way out of the bed, he quickly found his shoes and jean jacket to put both on to get out of the hospital room, he stretched his body carefully and looked around hoping to find Melissa, since he didn't have any luck he started to walk around following her scent until he found her but there was other scent a known one actually two, Stiles and Sheriff, he walked faster until he saw the both adults he smelled talking outside a room.
"Sheriff, what are you doing here?" - asked Nate confused
"Hi son...look...something happened with Stiles" - said Sheriff
"Is he okay? Is the Oni? What happened? He is here on the hospital so it must be bad, oh god, is he hurt?" - rambled Nate
"Nate" - called out Sheriff Stilinski making him stop - "He was in the coyote's den, I think he sleep walked or something, then he was having like a vivid dream maybe and called Scott for help telling him that he had been kidnapped and held captive by someone, he also told him not to involve you and me" - he explained
"Why he didn't wanted us to help?" - asked Nate confused and a little hurt
"I don't know, but we found him thanks to Agent McCall's help because he was leading us to this clues and a place where he wasn't" - said Sheriff Stilinski
"Is he awake? I want to see him" - said Nate
"He's sleeping now and just fine, he doesn't remember much" - said Melissa - "It's a bit like a dream to him" - she added
"Oh god..." - said Nate sighing and leaning against the wall
"Nate, remember the other day you both came? I asked you and him some questions about symptoms and..." - trailed off Melissa turning to Sheriff Stilinski
"Yeah...I think I know what you're talking about" - said Sheriff Stilinski - "I've been writing these down for the last two weeks" - he said taking out a notepad with Stiles symptoms written on it - "I think we need to do some tests" - he declared
"What tests? What are you talking about?" - asked Nate confused and worried
"Look...Stiles symptoms are matching to the ones that my wife used to have" - said Sheriff Stilinski sighing in defeat
"Your wife? The one that..." - trailed off Nate
"Yeah" - said Sheriff Stilinski in a sad tone
"You think he..." - said Nate chocking on the word - "oh god" - he said in almost a whine looking down with tears already pooling in his eyes
"Hey son, listen, it could be nothing" - said Sheriff Stilinski standing in front of Nate - "we still want to make sure, maybe is not related to what Claudia had" - he said in a hopeful tone trying to not only convince the werewolf but himself
"O...okay...okay" - said Nate cleaning a tear that rolling down his cheek and tried to compose himself
"I'm gonna go ask for the tests" - said Melissa walking away from boh
"Let's sit down son" - said Sheriff Stilinski walking with Nate holding the boy by the forearm to lead him to the waiting area so both could sit - "listen, I know you are worried that maybe he could have..." - he trailed off - "...but we would help him, he is gonna be fine" - he added
"He is...and I'm gonna make sure of that" - said Nate
"Thanks Nate...for being here for him and...love him" - said Sheriff Stilinski grabbing the werewolf's hand and making him turn to look at him surprised - "I know you maybe haven't say the words to each other, but I see the way you look at him" - he explained
"Sheriff..." - trailed Nate off
"He looks at you in the same manner if you want to know" - said Sheriff Stilinski interrupting the boy - "it's the same look I shared with Claudia and it makes me happy that he found something like what I share with my wife" - he added with a smile
"I...thank you...Noah" - said Nate blushing and looking down
The Sheriff just smiled at the boy again and both keep holding hands hoping everything comes out alright with the pale boy and his tests, but Nate had a plan, even if he have the same that his mother had, he knew a way to help Stiles.
"Okay Stiles, just to warn you, you're going to hear a lot of noise during the MRI, it's due to pulses of electricity going through metal coils inside the machine" - explained Dr. Vandenberg - "if you want, we can get you earplugs or headphones..." - he said
"No, I don't need anything" - assured Stiles
"Hey, we're just on the other side of that window, okay?" - said Melissa
"Okay" - said Stiles while Melissa gave him a weak smile
"Everything is gonna be fine Stiles" - said Scott looking like he was about to cry
"Let's give this two a moment" - said Melissa grabbing Scott by the arm and pulling him out of the room
"You know what they're looking for, right?" - asked Stiles
"Frontotemporal dementia, like your mom, even though I didn't look it up how it works" - said Nate looking down and hugging himself
"Areas of your brain start to shrink" - explained Stiles - "it's the only form of dementia that can hit teenagers...and there's...no cure" - he added
"If you have it...we'll do something" - stated Nate with a tears starting to fall from his eyes getting closer to his boyfriend - "I'll do something" - he added before hugging him
Stiles hugged him back both crying before the hazel eyed boy grabbed the werewolf's face and pulled him for a kiss one that said those words they still haven't say to each other but that could be said through actions like this one.
When the boys pulled away from the kiss Stiles used his thumbs to clean the tears stains from the Delta's face and smiled weakly at him before the boy had to walk away from the room to start the MRI, since he and Scott weren't family or medical staff they had to wait outside while Sheriff and Melissa stayed.
"I can't believe this is happening" - said Scott trying to hold back his tears and remain strong for his best friend and the Delta sitting next to him
"Me either...but we will fix this" - stated Nate trying to assure himself and Scott
"Yeah we will" - said Scott grabbing the hand of the other boy while Nate leaned his head to rest on the Alpha's shoulder not holding on his own tears
"Hey" - called Derek walking in front of both boys making Nate look at him surprised at first before standing up to go to him hugging him making the Alpha wrap his arms around the former Beta
"Are you here for support? I thought you couldn't stand Stiles" - said Scott
"I care about the pack and he is important to Nate" - said Derek while separating from the Delta and giving him a gentle smile - "but I'm mostly here to talk about Stiles and something that is been happening" - he added
Derek took a sit in front of Scott and Nate who got back to sit back next to Scott, the Alpha launched into an explanation of the situation to both surprising Nate who didn't want to believe just like Scott
"Can we change conversation please? This is...we can't be sure until we check up with Stiles and this feels like we are talking behind his back" - said Nate exasperated
"You know, I took Cora back to South America, right?" - Asked Derek - "it's where she spent most of her time after the fire, but that's not the only reason I left...I needed to talk to my mother" - he explained
"Your dead mother?" - asked Scott confused
"She told me something that changed my perspective on a lot of things, she said that my family didn't just live in Beacon Hills, they protected it, this town needs someone to protect it, by someone like you two" - explained Derek
"And someone like you to teach me a few trade secrets..." - said Scott before trailing and looking at the distance thinking about something
"What?" - asked Nate seeing the weird thoughtful look on the Alpha's face
"He was trying to protect us" - stated Scott - "Stiles was protecting us from himself" - he explained before standing up making the Delta and the other Alpha to follow him
"Where are we going?" - asked Nate
"To the rooftop" - said Scott and they all go through the stairs until they reach the destination
"Ok, here we are, what are we looking for?" - asked Nate again
"I'm not sure, but I think Stiles wasn't just up here struggling with himself, I think he was struggling not to do something" - explained Scott
Then when the three werewolves were standing close to a generator that had a cage around it Scott reached to the top throwing a bag with tools to the ground.
"Isn't that...Stiles...bag?" - Asked Nate and Scott nodded - "but why would he bring those here?" - He asked
He got answered by the lights flickering around the hospital before a cable exploded making the werewolves back off from it to not get electrocuted by it and they could see the cable falling off the roof, the three werewolves look at each other with a knowing look before taking the emergency stairs to go down the street to see what was the purpose of the cable and they arrived just in time to see people getting electrocuted because the cable was dangling over some water that was on the street.
"Isaac!" - called Nate running to aid the blond boy when he saw he was lying on the concrete electrocuted
"Nate no" - called Derek putting his arms around the boy grabbing him from behind so he wouldn't get close to the water
"Derek let me go we gotta help him" - said Nate exasperated
"If you got there you would get electrocute as well and there will be nothing you could do to help then" - explained Derek
Nate turned to Scott asking for help to get Derek off him but he just put one hand up signaling the Delta to not move, the three turned helplessly to Isaac and the other people on the ground before turning to see Kira jumping over a car and grabbing the cable before putting one hand over it absorbing the electricity from it while her eyes shinned in an orange color.
"Derek let me go there is no danger anymore" - ordered Nate and the Alpha did as he was told letting the Delta go and following him to Isaac's side - "Isaac?" - He called grabbing the hand of the Beta
"He is not breathing" - said Derek checking the vitals of the blonde - "Scott, he is not breathing!" - He called to the other Alpha
"I'm gonna heal him" - declared Nate moving his other hand to hold Isaac's hand with his both hands ready to help him
"Wait" - called Scott - "not here, people will see you, unlike what we can do your abilities can be noticeable" - he explained
"If we don't do something now he might die Scott" - said Nate trembling his words and his eyes watering
"Let the hospital staff help him, we will visit later and you can help" - ordered Scott
The Delta looked at him biting his bottom lip before looking down at Isaac letting one tear fall before looking back at Scott and nod at his order knowing it was the right decision to not being outed to people like Kira just did who seemed to have disappear from the view when he turned to look around.
