The Wolf
Of
Beacon Hills
Disclaimer: Here lies the standard saying that I own nothing but what you see here. This is a little something I've been thinking about for awhile now and is one of my ideas involving Scott taking Chris' warning about staying away from Allison seriously. Watching season 2 of Daredevil recently has also helped to nicely shape this. Along with a remark of BigSkyDreaming about Elektra from the show practically being the Dark!Kira we all want to see.
Summary: Since the forced break up with Allison thanks to her father and his taking it seriously, Scott's had a whole lot of extra free time on his hands. And what better way to make use of it when not playing Lacrosse, doing homework, hanging out with Stiles, going to school, and hanging with his mom when the opportunity arrises then to use his Wolf abilities to do some good around town?
For several months now, Scott McCall had been embarking on a little journey of sorts ever since Chris Argent had forced him and Allison to break up a little while after Kate's death. And despite Allison's attempts to convince him to just sneak around in secret, the teenager had decided to take it seriously as he really wasn't wanting to gain the man's wrath and kill him despite the Argent Code. He loves Allison, don't get him wrong but he also loves living. As the thought of leaving his mom behind cause of an angry and likely irrational man's decision making skills costing him his life scared the absolute crap out of him. Though if you pressed Scott about how he felt about Chris Argent, he would eventually admit he'd like to hit the guy in the face for being an asshole. But at least those he tends to come across and fight while prowling the rooftops of Beacon Hills makes it less of an issue since none of them are likely carrying Wolfsbane ammunition.
Let alone even heard about it. Heck, if it hadn't of been for Stiles making a sarcastic remark about him jumping around on rooftops like a comic book character to burn off his extra energy he likely wouldn't even be doing what he was currently doing now! But since starting his little vigilante life using his Werewolf abilities, the young McCall's felt like he's been making a difference in the lives of his fellow Beacon Hills natives. He always wore a red hoodie to hide his identity though he knew that wouldn't always be reliable. Especially if he wound up on the news at some point and his hood fell off for whatever reason. A road that would lead him to a whole boat heap of trouble with not only the law but his mom too! Since he had started, he had managed to stop quite a few car jackers, robbers, find and recover a few kidnapped individuals, and several rapists and those always made his blood boil too.
He'd also had a few fights with some of the more Supernatural types that resided in Beacon Hills as well. A particularly ferocious Wendigo he encountered one night still gave him nightmares from time to time but thankfully he was now residing in Eichen thanks to Deaton and the people he knew there. And while the older man wasn't exactly fully supporting him similar to Stiles, the man was thankfully at least willing to help since he cared a great deal about Scott. Deaton even introduced him to a tribe of Were-Bears deep in the forests surrounding Beacon Hills when he had to make a house call concerning a young cub who was sick at the time. Their village was hidden thanks in part to the magics used by several Woodland Spirits the tribe had a pact with. Scott also met a Native American tribe who also lived in harmony with the Were-Bears and the Woodland Spirits.
They were perhaps a rarity in the fact that they had gone to greath lengths in order to retain the ways of their people from before the time the English came to the Americas. They knew how to operate in the modern day world but cared little for it and Scott honestly enjoyed getting to know them. And when he had managed to stop the threat of a particularly dangerous snake beast in a nearby lake, they had thrown a huge celebration in his honor that would see him getting back home at a very late hour that had no encounters with his mom. Even though he had been dragging for the rest of the day at school due to little sleep. But he still felt it was worth it for having experienced something like that. The young Wolf also had encountered an old Russian man several times who liked to tell stories and play a game of Chess that lived on the outskirts of town and was self relient for the most part.
He and Deaton seemed to know one another to some degree and Scott's mentor had even hinted that the stories the man liked to tell usually had a reason to be told. What those reasons were Scott had yet to figure out. The man also hinted there was a reason for why the old man liked to challenge Scott to games of Chess. A few benefits the teenager had wound up realizing he'd gained from playing the board game though is that it actually helped with his concentration and memory. So that was a nice plus at least. Around the third month of his secret life style, Scott would end up encountering a girl who liked to hide part of her face while carrying around a Katana and had actually ended up kicking his ass a few times too. While she wasn't exactly a threat towards him, it hadn't exactly taken him long to find out who she was under the mask thanks to his nose.
That had earned him an ass whooping and a mild case of electrocution that had been accidental on her part due to how flustered she was from his figuring out her secret. Thunder, or Kira as he later learned was a sweet girl with an occasional habit of rambling when not out doing like he did and showcasing how much of an absolute bad ass she could be. And it was something he genuinely liked about her, the fact he could sometimes make her blush was a huge bonus too. He'd wind up learning about the fact she's a Thunder Kitsune which definitely helped him realize how the electrocution incident had happened. Her parents were pretty cool too and her father had even offered to make him a weapon but Scott declined as he didn't feel like he needed one. Though the man did get him to seriously consider wearing some armor as even with his Wolf healing it would probably still be a good idea to wear.
His closeness to the girl at school and outside of it made Allison a little jealous and a bit resentful towards her father. Who'd end up with some rotten egg to the face while carrying groceries in thanks to a Gnome who was up to a little mischief. The little fella even brought a few friends with him to egg the rest of the house with rotten eggs and much to the ire of Chris and Victoria to some extent, Scott and Stiles had joined in on the fun! Making the Gnomes like them a great deal for that stunt and to get the two boys heated glares from Allison for a while. Though she couldn't help the smile and giggle that happened seconds later after the glares. The boys and the Gnomes even started to chant 'Love Not Hate! End the Racism!' while throwing the eggs as well.
Thankfully no charges had been pressed as neither of the two adult Argents wanted to deal with public scrutiny when Scott told them he'd tell exactly why he had done it. Gerard hadn't been especially happy with the situation but left it alone for the time being since it was his son's problem to primarily deal with. That and he hated dealing with Gnomes since it would eventually mean having to deal with Dwarves. Nobody really understood why he hated dealing with them and no amount of bugging the old man would explain why. Kate back when she was alive had always privately believed they had done something that was too embarrassing for him to want to talk about.
One of the things that Scott did when he arrived or left a scene was give a howl and it had lead to his being called the 'Wolf Of Beacon Hills'. Something he let spread around when he called himself that after saving a girl from getting robbed and she asked him who she was. Many suspected he had been using technology to get the loud and kind of scary sound and it led to many theories on how he'd even came up with the sound to begin with. Hearing it talked about from fellow students also had a tendency to make him grin from time to time, earning him an elbow on occasion from Stiles and later Kira. Of course he also refused to join Derek's growing pack much to the older man's annoyance. A pack that included an in the know Lydia, Jackson, Isaac, Erica, and Boyd. And it was a miracle he had yet to encounter any of them while out as the Wolf but he figured his luck was bound to run out sooner or later. Naturally his luck would run out on a particularly dark and rainy night when a scream caught his attention and he went running towards it.
Reaching the edge of a roof, he looked down and saw a news crew that was being attacked by some strange lizard creature with a tail. Scott let out a loud roar as his eyes went gold, his fangs came out, and his claws extended. His roar attracted the attention of the creature and the camera man it'd been advancing towards while a woman was propped up against a wall and not moving for whatever reason. With a jump, Scott was down on the ground and in front of the camera man, not realizing that he and the reporter had been doing a live broadcast about the weather. "Watch the claws!" Got out the woman from where she was and the man kept himself near her.
Scott turned his head sideways towards them, thankful of the fact his hood was covering the majority of his face. "What about em!?" Asked the teenager as he dodged a swipe of the thing's claws.
"They paralyzed Kelsey man!" Shouted out the camera man.
"So avoid the claws. Sounds easy." Muttered Scott to himself in a mostly sarcastic way.
Those things looked long for cryin' out loud and it was not going to be easy to avoid them! The thing shrieked at him as they danced around one another while Scott tried to get in a blow here and there. A huge part of him was wishing he had taken Ken up on his offer of armor! Hell, he wished Kira was there for that matter! Of course unknown to him, Noshiko was shaking her head at Scott for not being better prepared and Kira was gearing up as fast as she could in order to get out there and to him. At one point, Scott was forced to flip to avoid the creature's oncoming tail. Unfortunately for him, he wound up facing the camera man and the reporter and his face was shown for all to see. Leading to quite a few being shocked and in some cases very unhappy. Allison however was cheering as she had long had the feeling about who exactly the Wolf of Beacon Hills was and knowing she was right made her happy as Hell!
"Can you move!?" Called out Scott to the woman and she had to tell him no, making him mutter a curse and was about to tell the man to get her out of here when she screamed for him to watch out.
As Scott turned to try and avoid what was coming, it was too late as the creature swiped at him in the chest, and then threw him a short distance away in a rather painful way when he hit the ground with a groan. Scott struggled to get up but soon found himself unable to do so while those watching urged him to get up as if their cheers would somehow spur him on. The young Wolf, the reporter and everyone else was forced to listen as the creature tore into the man and his screams were horrible to hear. A shriek from the creature could be heard, along with the sound of footsteps. Giving many the impression that the creature had left. Wheezing could be heard after that and Melissa and the Stilinskis grew worried very quickly as they all recognized that sound. "Kid! Are you okay!?" Called out the horrified reporter.
"Can't… Breathe!" Came the gasped response as Scott continued to wheeze from his breathing difficulties.
"Think Asthma… Attack..." Added the boy seconds later and making those close to him feeling even more fearful for his safety.
At the Argents, Victoria could be heard talking that it was a known fact that Scott had horrible Asthma. Something Allison was rather surprised about and wondered how on Earth that could have been triggered. Her grandfather theorized that the creature's paralytic venom from its claws possibly caused it due to having gotten him in the chest. The reporter could be heard telling Scott to stay with her as best he could and thankfully sirens could be heard as well in the distance thanks to the camera. Scott, the reporter, and the remains of the poor man would soon be taken to the hospital and Kira would feel a great deal of regret for not having gotten to Scott much sooner. A talk from him later would help out a lot where that was concerned. Ken wisely kept any remarks about armor to himself while Melissa and the others were around since he wasn't wanting to gain their wrath.
One thing that would come out of this as a bonus in the whole thing is that Chris relented in his restrictions about his daughter and Scott. But only that they were allowed to be friends and hang out with one another. Making for a slightly awkward feeling to occur considering the fact he and Kira were starting to grow pretty close. The house arrest, grounding, and ankle monitor definitely were things that sucked too for the young Wolf but while he dealt with that, Kira would keep an eye on things for him and her father would come up with a protective suit for him to use when he was allowed out of the house again. He'd be let out just in time too as the lizard creature that was known as a Kanima was proving to be more of a threat then it had been in the past.
Author's Notes: May there have been much enjoyment of this one! I may at some point explore this in a full on fic. Though at one point while thinking about this idea I had seriously thought about Scott and Danielle being a thing for a short time. Something I might still do if I decide to pursue this as a full on story. Though a reveal like the one here is unlikely to happen so soon.
