It had been a year since Stiles had returned to Beacon Hills after vanishing years before, but he was different. He was no longer sarcastic and his eyes didn't hold their gleam anymore now they were always hard and showed no emotion. But worse was that he didn't trust the pack. Not anymore anyway. Gone was the skinny, clumsy uncoordinated boy now in his place was a muscular man who moves stiffly and was always on alert like he would be attacked at any moment.

The pack didn't know what was wrong with him but vowed to figure it out if it was the last thing they did. But Stiles was so secretive refusing to give up even on detail of where he had gone or what he had been through that it seemed kind of pointless.

That all changed one day when Stiles and Scott pulled up to school one morning because there in front of them was five unknown figures standing in front of the Beacon Hills High School. Scott having no clue who they were immediately tensed and moved a little to stand in front of Stiles suddenly he was shoved out of the way as Stiles practically sprinted up the steps faster than Scott knew possible and throwing his arms around them as they all laughed and shouted in joy. Scott confused hurried after Stiles and on his way was joined by the rest of the pack before they all came to a stop in front of the group who had now broken apart and were talking excitedly to each other.

Scott called out, "Stiles?" and the entire group including Stiles himself stiffed before their heads snapped up to face the group in front of them as everyone but Stiles himself seemed confused on who they were talking about.

All Scott got back was a forced, "What?"

Seemingly suddenly understanding who Scott was talking about the group burst out into laughter seeming to be unable to contain themselves any longer.

Finally when they were able to gather themselves together after a moment the Asian one wheezed out a, "Stiles?! What kind of shuck name is Stiles?!" That in itself confused the pack because Stiles was his name and if these people didn't know that they shouldn't be trusted.

Scott Moved forward to move Stiles away from these people when what Stiles himself said stopped him in his tracks.

"I know right its weird as shuck if you ask me but that's apparently what I go by here." he said as if it was the most normal and casual thing to say.

Before any of the pack could even speak up they were once again startled by the blond and obviously British guy speaking up to say, "Well I know I'm never going to call you that. Better to just stick to Tommy."

This made the first grin the pack had seen from Stiles since he got back appear on his face before he wrapped his arm around the blond waist like it was natural before kissing the top of his head and exclaiming, "I wouldn't have it any other way darling." and then adding, "and that goes for all you shanks to as I'd rather not have anymore people calling me a name that isn't really mine."

They all began to laugh before they were startled by someone clearing their throat and all six suddenly jumped into fighting stances Stiles pushing the blond boy behind him while the the Asian from before and the tall guy came to stand in front of the rest all of the guys including Stiles sliding knifes out of there sleeves while the girl cocked a gun before holding it in front of her.

This in itself startled everyone in the pack and they all took a step back slowly not knowing what in hell was happening. Stiles seeing who it was relaxed marginally even though his shoulders were still tense and then ordered, "It's alright shuck faces lower your lower your weapons its just my stalkers."

To everyone's surprise they all immediately lowered their weapons and while the boys kept their down by there side the girl slide hers back into its place on her side.

Sighing Stiles said," Stalkers this is my Glader family Gally" the tall one glared warily, "Frypan" the dark skinned on waved, "Minho" the Asian on just nodded his head, "Teresa" the girl just stared back blankly, "And finally Newt" the blond just gave a small smile. "Gladers this is the pack."

Nodding dismissively all the kids turned back to Stiles the tall one now known to them as Gally saying, "Great greenie not that that's out of the way we are here to pick you up and get the shuck out of here."

This made Stiles eyes light up and to the surprise of the entire pack said, "Really? I can't believe you guys came for me! I can finally leave this klunk of a place."

All of them smiled softly at Stiles before the girl speaking for the first time said, "Of course Thomas we would never leave you behind. But we do need to go soon since we still have to pick up Brenda, Jorge, Sonya, and Harriett next."

Nodding while taking Newts hand they started making their way down the steps of the school and into the giant van that that was parked down a few feet in the curb. They all climbed in while the pack just stared speechless. As the van took off down the street towards Stiles house however they snapped out of it glancing at each other quickly before the began to sprint down the street towards Stiles house after the van.

None of them had no clue what was going on but they knew one thing and that was that there was no way this random group of people was going to take Stiles from them when they had already lost him once.

No Way.
