A Very

Needed Conversation

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. I honestly think had the groups just sat down and talked, things with the Kanima could have been resolved a lot quicker. Along with the likelyhood that Gerard's plans would have been found out about much sooner too. This takes place after Raving and ignores Victoria getting the bite, though she does get a little clawed up.

Summary: After the plan to try and trap Jackson goes awry, Scott decides its finally time everybody just sat down and talked before one of them wound up dead.


Two hours after Scott had recovered from Victoria's Wolfsbane Vaporizer attack on him, he started to have an idea form in his head and even discussed it with Deaton. The man thought it was a good idea but told him to be cautious regardless while Derek was totally against it. Deaton even offered the clinic as a neutral meeting place where no violence would be allowed. Something Scott wondered about but all Deaton would say is that he had something in place and the young man reluctantly left it alone after that. Scott quickly told Derek to get his Pack to the clinic while he pulled out his phone and texted Stiles to get there as soon as possible before starting with Allison.

Scott: Allison, we need to talk. Tell yourparents and your grandfather to meet me here at the animal clinic as its time everyone started talking with one another.

Allison was understandably confused by her boyfriend's text message to her but never the less relayed the message to her family as she too agreed that everyone just needed to sit down and talk for once instead of trying to kill one another. For some reason though, her mother seemed to be a little worried about something and it couldn't be over the scratch marks she had on her shoulder either. Marks that came from Derek Hale supposedly attacking her for no real reason other then that she's an Argent and a hunter. But agree to the meeting her family did and the four headed out to the clinic as no way in Hell was Allison going to be left out of it.

Once they got there, it was apparent to her family by just what Scott had really meant by everyone talking with one another. As Stiles' jeep, along with Derek's Camaro were parked in the lot. "Are you sure this isn't some sort of trap?" Questioned Gerard before swallowing one of his pills.

"I'm certain of it, Scott wouldn't do such a thing."

"Hmmph, he's a damned Werewolf who's possibly capable of anything." Hissed her mother and Allison sent a glare at her for it.

"You don't know a single thing about Scott McCall. Even dad despite his views towards Werewolves knows Scott is far better than that."

Victoria didn't bother to reply to the words of a naive girl as she knew sooner or later her daughter would come to realize that that Wolf was no better then any other. Chris wisely kept his mouth shut on the subject but he knew his daughter was right. Hell if Hale hadn't been an asshole, that boy would be human again. Then again, he wasn't entirely sure that particular myth even had any real grounds to begin with and Derek perhaps just used it to get Scott to cooperate with him. Shaking off those thoughts, he opened the door up for his family to go inside and once they were in, let himself in as well and made sure to close the door good. Deaton was already waiting for them in the waiting room and was quick to lead them to his examination room.

Allison was quick to go over to Scott and Stiles' side, though the interesting thing was is the fact Scott was holding a baseball bat for whatever reason. Plus he seemed to be looking right at Victoria too and his hold on the bat was tightening up pretty good as his knuckles were going white. Something tells me my wife has done something to make him pretty nervous.

And from experience, he knew his wife could be an intense person to be around when the need called for it. He also noticed that Derek Hale was tensing up too as he stared right at Victoria who merely glared right at him after giving a sneer to Scott. "Well, well, I see the whole gang's here." Commented Gerard with a chuckle.

Deaton would have made a remark concerning certain events with Deucalion but decided to stay quiet. As there was no need to dredge up old memories and spark an issue at this point in time. "I don't know about that, maybe get if Peter and Kate were here it'd be a done deal." Spoke up Stiles sarcastically and getting himself more than one glare for it in return but not really even giving a crap about it.

"You should learn to watch your mouth young man."

Stiles sent Allison's mom one of his more infuriating grins. "Nah, its part of my charm after all. And it'd be a crime if I lost that."

Allison would have laughed in that moment over that but knew she would have been in trouble for it. Granted, her being with Scott was going to get her in trouble anyway but she didn't want to worsen it even more. Erica and Isaac could be seen smirking over the whole thing while Boyd just remained a stoic statue while grinning on the inside over the scene. "Threatening him never works." Added Derek offhandedly.

"See!? Even the Sourwolf knows how true that is!"

Victoria started her way towards the otherside with the goal of slapping the crap out of the disrespectful teenager when a growl came from Scott as he slammed his hands on the examination table. "ENOUGH!" Everyone looked at him in surprise over that one.

"Mrs. Argent, stay right where you are. Stiles, now's not the time to antagonize. Same for you Derek." He gave a pointed look in the direction of his fellow Betas who only nodded at him in return to show their understanding.

Although, both Allison and Erica privately found his act of command to be hot while Deaton just nodded in approval of how Scott was handling the situation. Reluctantly, Mrs. Argent did as requested and went back to her husband's side. Scott let out a sigh before speaking up again. "its clear we have too much going on related to the Jackson/Kanima situation and not enough communication go to around."

"And it really doesn't help when you've got parents acting out vendettas either." Added Scott a few seconds later with a pointed look towards Allison's mother.

Victoria for her part merely shrugged her shoulders with a smirk present on her face. "I'm not sure what you mean by that Scott. I really don't."

Chris narrowed his eyes as he had a feeling his wife knew EXACTLY what Scott was talking about and he wasn't the only one for that matter either. Scott for his part decided to leave it alone for the time being as there was more important things to be discussing then her attack on him. "We had a plan in place tonight to trap Jackson at the Rave and later move him elsewhere to prevent his being a danger."

"And how were you going to pull that off I wonder?" Asked a curious Gerard.

"With a supply of Ketamine that Deaton here loaned us to use. Isaac and Erica were to lure him in close to them and use it on him. Admittedly, had I thought to tell Allison what was going on, the gunfight between you guys, Derek, and Boyd could have been avoided."

Allison agreed whole heartedly on that one. "Yeah, definitely should have thought of that one." She muttered in annoyance and Scott had the grace to look sheepish over that one.

Granted, it also meant she could have tried to talk Matt into going somewhere else instead of to the Rave. "Sometimes, even the best made plans have blind spots to them." Threw in the old man and Chris had to agree on that one.

"Unfortunately I uhh.. I used up all the Ketamine when I drugged Jackson." Informed Isaac with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Erica rubbed his shoulder as a form of comfort and he was grateful for it as he placed his own hand on her's and squeezed it in thanks. "But we did learn that whoever is controlling Jackson was apparently murdered." Supplied Stiles and making those besides him, Erica, and Isaac feel slightly confused by that.

"Murdered? Are you certain the master said that?"

Stiles nodded. "As certain as can be when it was said as loud as day."

Everyone was silent after that as they tried to figure out that particular clue. Chris was wondering if there was an attempt made that the master managed to come back from thanks to medical aide. Though there was numerous ways the attempt could have been made and for all any of them knew, the master could have been an accidental target for a prank gone horribly wrong. Allison cleared her throat as she wanted to also speak up about Matt and his clear stalker tendencies. Her throat clearing caused everyone to look at her and wonder if she had any theories. "Something on your mind Allison?" Gerard asked, figuring that her young mind could have a viable theory.

"Umm… Yeah, actually I do. Not about Jackson's master but about something else."

She rubbed her arms for comfort and many in the room could tell she was bothered greatly by something. Scott placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and she gave him a tentative smile for it and using the gesture as comfort, she spoke up. "After the rave, I took Matt home and I learned something about something I really did not want to know."

Looking around at the gathered group, she pressed on. "He's been… He's been stalking me… Taking pictures of me at various times..." Tears were starting to come down her face as she told the group this and Scott was quick to pull her into his arms and let her cry into his chest. Not even giving a damn if her family had an issue with it.

Feelings of anger and disgust were soon felt by everyone present. "I knew there was a reason I didn't like him." Muttered Stiles angrily.

"I think this Matt needs a visit paid to him." Muttered Chris as he tried to contain his rage from breaking free.

Erica was definitely on board with that. Hell, she may not be a hundred percent cool with Allison but no girl deserved that garbage. "I'm willing to help out."

If Allison was surprised by that, she didn't show it but she would make the effort to show her appreciation later. "Sorry for taking this off track..." Mumbled the distraught teen into Scott's chest.

"Hey, its fine. Its important that you told us that. Who knows what the Hell Matt would do next if nothing got said." Scott told her soothingly as he tried not to imagine what the little bastard would try in his obvious obsession with Allison.

Isaac spoke up and informed everyone that he knew where Matt lived. "Good, you can lead us there then." Said Gerard as he went to head back up front.

While he may have something of a hate towards Werewolves, pervertic little bastards like this Matt boy was something he hated a whole Helluva lot more then what he did Werewolves. "I'll stay here with Allison and Scott." Spoke up Victoria as she had a feeling the boy wasn't going to leave her daughter's side anytime soon despite the very real likelyhood of his wanting to beat the ever loving Hell out of this Matt boy. She also had a feeling she was going to have to re-think her views about Scott McCall and she wasn't entirely sure she liked that either.

Everyone else aside from Victoria, Allison, Scott, Derek, and Deaton left the clinic with one goal in mind. And Deaton honestly couldn't find it within himself to pity the boy for what was coming his way.


Author's Notes: Kind of took a left turn there but I think it works well enough.
