Live Brutality!
Disclaimer: This is something that was born from an idea I was gonna do involving my recent experiences with Poison Ivy that woulda been an unfortunate if amusing problem for Scott and Stiles to deal with. BUT. The motivation to write it out fully wasn't there and somehow I ended up getting the nice little idea to write this instead from that. Takes place in season 1 about a day or two after 'Co-Captain'. Oh, and I own nothing but what you see here.
Summary: Unknown figures chasing after you makes for rather brutal encounters...
It was the annual Beacon Hills Community Festival and if you weren't there attending you were probably at home watching the events on the television for whatever reason. Lydia hadn't been in the mood to go and had thusly chosen to hang out at the Argents with Allison as none of them had plans for attending the event either. One of the reasons she had no desire to be at the Festival was on account of Jackson as he and the rest of the Cyclones would be there as part of the fun for a charity event. Though one thing that had been rapidly apparent was the fact that Scott and Stiles had so far been a no show, something that had made the two girls curious and for Finstock to be a bit furious over. "Hmm… Maybe Scott didn't want to show up cause he was worried he might run into you and make things awkward?" Theorized Lydia thoughtfully.
Raising an eyebrow at her best friend, Allison couldn't help but wonder if that might be the case. "Or! He's worried about running into you and you having your way with him again." Joked the brunette even though there was a hint of jealousy to it.
Lydia gaped at her for that, making Allison to grin cheekily over it. "That is so uncalled for!" As really, any boy should feel honored she would want to have her way with them!
Even though a part of her did feel a little guilty for doing that to her best friend. "I don't know Lyds… I don't know, you did take advantage of him in Coach's office." Glared the girl and making the Redhead wince.
"You… Have a point and I am forever sorry. I shouldn't have done that and hopefully you and even Scott can forgive me for it."
She knew that his best friend wasn't too happy over the situation but she couldn't really find it in herself to care. "You're here aren't you? Which means you're on the path to forgiveness and I don't really think even Scott would hold it against you."
Lydia smiled gratefully at her best friend and the two squeezed one another's hands in comfort. She would honor her promise as that was not something one did to a best friend. Both were then quickly drawn to the attention of the tv when a loud squealing could be heard, the source being one particular blue jeep as it arrived in the area rather quickly! "Looks like those two finally arrived." Remarked Lydia.
Though the fact they seemed to have done so in such a fast way made her curious as they shouldn't even be going that fast. Both her and Allison's eyes widened in surprise and fear however when something somehow caused the jeep to flip over several times! "Oh my God!" Shouted Allison in horror and drawing the attention of her parents and Kate.
As they came to see what was going on at the tv, Scott shook his head to rid himself of the weird feeling in his head after being flipped over several times thanks to that thing chasing after them! A trail of blood was coming down the side of his face and when he looked over to see how his best friend was, he quickly saw that he was knocked out. With a groan, he forced himself out of the jeep and made his way over to his best friend, not even paying attention to others coming towards them and quickly dragged Stiles out of the jeep. "Son! Are you alright!" Came the concerned voice of one older man.
"Yeah! Just…" Whatever he was about to say was cut off when a loud growling noise could be heard. Along with heavy foot steps.
Looking towards the source of it, Scott couldn't help but pale at the sight of the massive thing coming towards them. Those who had come to help the two boys out couldn't help but back up in fear. "What the Hell is that thing!?" Asked the same older man from before.
"I have no idea but you all need to get back!" Shouted Scott as he picked up Stiles and started to back off.
Meanwhile, back over at the Argents, Chris Argent himself was noticably pale at the sight of the thing that had appeared and was apparently responsible for flipping the two boys over. "Honey, what is it?" Asked Victoria in concern.
Causing Kate and the two girls to look at him. "That thing is a Berserker."
That name rang a bell in Lydia's head. "You mean like the ones of Norse mythology? Said to be wild and uncontrollable warriors who fought anything in their paths?"
Chris nodded. "Exactly that. Kate, load up everything we have in the armoury." Ordered the man firmly and his sister did exactly that as she remembered the stories her brother had shared.
"But how? I mean that shouldn't be possible right?" Questioned the Redhead and making Allison nod in agreement as something like that belonged in a movie or book! She also wondered why the Hell her dad told her aunt to load up on their guns! They weren't gonna fight that thing were they!?
"There are more things in this world then you and Allison realize Lydia."
"Umm.. You and aunt Kate aren't gonna fight that thing are you?" Questioned Allison nervously.
"Not alone they won't, I'm already calling in a few men to help." Spoke up Victoria.
Looking directly at his daughter, Chris began to speak. "We had hoped to keep you from this sort of thing a little while longer sweetheart but perhaps its time you knew rather then being kept in the dark."
That had the two girls looking at him wondering what the heck he meant exactly by that. But before more could be said, their attention was turned back to the tv screen as screams could be heard with Scott and Stiles no where to be found. A Deputy could even be seen shooting at it not that it did much good for the poor guy. As the Berserker stalked towards him, the Deputy grew increasingly fearful as he unloaded his entire clip at the thing and then shouted in fear when the thing batted away the gun and picked him up by the neck. "Hey! Put him down!" Came the voice of one Scott McCall as he walked out of a building alone.
"Kid! Get back in here!" Called out a fearful voice.
Turning back, Scott started to speak. "I'm done running from this thing. I don't even know what it is and we were just mindin' our own business when it attacked us. And now… Now I'm gonna return the favor."
Turning his attention back on the creature with the Deputy in its hand, Scott crouched down a little. "I said let him go!" Yelled the boy while both Allison and Lydia were screaming at him to get the Hell out of there despite the fact he couldn't hear them!
The thing looked at him with a growl and those still around or watching through their tvs, saw Scott's eyes begin to glow green as his hair grew wild, fangs began to sprout from his mouth, and nails became claws. He then let out a loud roar at the thing startling many in the process. Scott charged at him and the thing chucked the screaming Deputy a good distance away and did its own charge at the Werewolf. Allison for her part was looking rather stunned and fearful of what her ex had suddenly become! "What… What is he!?" Something Lydia wanted to know herself!
"A Werewolf, an Omega Werewolf at that."
"A stupid one who's going to get himself killed for trying to take on a Berserker." Threw in Victoria distastefully.
"Is this… Is this what you meant when you said there's more out there in the world then we realize?" Questioned Lydia.
Chris only nodded before hurrying off to the garage to help his sister get loaded up quicker. "It will be a miracle if that Wolf survives this." Remarked Victoria as Allison watched on in horror over the scene in front of her on the tv.
If Scott hopefully survived, she was going to have a very long talk with him about keeping secrets and fighting things he shouldn't be fighting on his own! "Well, I think we now know how Scott managed to get on Front Line with an Asthma condition." Mused Lydia thoughtfully and making Allison look at her for it.
The three women could faintly hear tires screeching afterwards and while they watched, Melissa was looking on in horror after being told of what was going on while at work. She had no idea what her son was but she didn't care as she just wanted him away from that… That thing! Her mouth was covered as tears came down her face and Dr. Geyer was seen holding her while silently praying that his friend's son made it through this. He then winced when the thing struck Scott in the jaw, causing blood to come out of the boy's mouth thanks to the strength it had and the sharp bone ridges on the knuckles tearing up his face a little. Making for Scott to stagger back as he spat out blood and snarled at the thing. "Scott! Get out of here now!" Ordered Sheriff Stilinski as he and several other Deputies came up and immediately started firing on the thing.
But Scott had no intentions of doing that and as the creature advanced on his best friend's dad and his Deputies, the young Werewolf jumped on top of the thing's back and started to try and choke it out. Making for the thing to snarl in annoyance as it swung about and hit him in an effort to get him off. The Sheriff and the Deputies were forced to stop firing in fear of hitting Scott in the process. The thing managed to succeed in throwing Scott off him, who landed on his back with a loud groan and quickly had a foot stomping on him, making him spit out blood. "FREEZE!" Ordered the Sheriff but the creature paid him no mind as it went to stomp on Scott again who managed to roll out of the way in time and onto his feet with a pained gasp.
Stilinski was about to say something to what was basically his second son when a honking could be heard, making for him and the others to turn around and see a black Camaro. The honking kept happening and the Sheriff, Scott, and the other Deputies quickly got out of the way as the driver ran right into the creature! Causing it to fly backwards into several tables as the car came to a stop and out came one Derek Hale who did not look happy! "Are you out of your mind!?" Questioned the man as he stormed towards Scott who refused to back down.
"Huh!? Taking on a Berserker by yourself is suicide!"
"I wasn't gonna just let that thing hurt people!" Protested Scott angrily while the Sheriff was about to say something about Derek being a wanted man when growling could be heard.
Making everyone turn their attention towards the source and watched as the now known Berserker stood up and started advancing towards them. "He hit it with his car! How the Hell is that thing even still walking!?" Questioned Deputy Tara Graeme disbelievingly.
"Berserkers are insanely hard to kill and its gonna take more then a car hitting it to stop it." Informed Derek helpfully as his eyes glowed blue as he gained something of a similar appearance to Scott. Only his looked a bit more scarier then Scott's did!
His look made quite a few wonder if he was somehow responsible for whatever it was that Scott now was. Earning Allison and Lydia a short but informed lesson from Victoria on how only one with red eyes known as an Alpha could make a Werewolf and that Derek Hale's blue eyes signifed his status as that of having killed an innocent person. Gold meant one was a Beta in a Pack while green meant you were an Omega, one without a Pack. Everyone watched as Derek let out his own roar and the two charged at the rushing Berserker and did their best to take it on. And it was apparent that even two on one that they were still having trouble taking it down. "Find stronger weapons!" Shouted Derek to the police officers as he and Scott fought on.
"Its the only way to defeat this thing!" He added seconds later after swiping a blow.
Only to get hit in the midsection that had him stumbling away and spitting blood. Stilinski quickly ordered several of his Deputies to head back to the Sheriff's Department and get what they were needing while he stayed behind and aimed his gun at the thing and waited for a moment to shoot at it in the hopes it would actually help somehow. Snarling, Scott lunged at the Berserker, only for the thing to catch his arm and break it. "AAUGH!" Screamed out the boy in utter pain.
"SCOTT!" Yelled out the Sheriff in fear and concern and he took his shot, only it unfortunately did nothing as the thing didn't even react when the bullet penetrated an area of exposed skin.
Allison was definitely in tears then as Lydia held her in her arms in comfort while Victoria looked on unflinchingly. Melissa herself was crying even harder as she fell to her knees with Geyer still holding on to her and praying even more for his friend's son. The Berserker picked up Scott afterwards and growled softly at him and in a rather bold move on the young Werewolf's part, he spat blood at the creature earning a growl for his actions. As Derek got to his feet and looked on worriedly as he started to take a step forward, he and everyone else was forced to watch as Scott went flying and crashing into a store window. The fact he wasn't coming out of there was rather worrisome in quite a few's views! "Scott!" Called out the Sheriff in great concern as he rushed inside the store to check on the young man.
Derek growled angrily as he looked towards the Berserker and started to fight it again and soon found himself being thrown a few feet from it. As he got to his knees, he looked up just as the Berserker was about to strike him when it stumbled from a loud noise. Making it snarl in annoyance as it looked back to see who had dared to hit him! Derek looked on in surprise at the fact Chris and Kate Argent, along with a few of their men was standing with guns pointed at the thing! Chris' gun was even smoking as well after having been fired. "Heya Der, looks like you and the Puppy need your asses saved!" Called out Kate cheerfully.
He huffed in annoyance as Chris stepped forward. "I don't know if you can understand me but I offer you a choice. Leave now and never bother us again or be killed."
Growling could be heard and when it started to walk towards them, Chris nodded. "OPEN FIRE!" Ordered the man and every Hunter there began to unload their fire power on the Berserker,
Making for Derek and any remaining others to quickly get out of the way before they could be hit! The beast kept walking forwards as it howled angrily at the group of shooters. And as they ran out of bullets, each of the Hunters quickly pulled out another weapon and fired on it. Eventually it proved to be too much for the Berserker as it exploded due to all the firepower hitting it. Sending body parts and dust everywhere. Cheers went up everywhere afterwards for the group's success in destroying what was very clearly a menace that couldn't be reasoned with or contained. The Sheriff could be seen helping Scott out of the building who was holding his arm with a grimace while Stiles himself also made an appearance as he rubbed his head. "Anyone else nervous about all the fire power you guys have?" Questioned the kid nervously.
"Funnily enough, I'm not because it was used for a good reason rather then shooting up everything." Remarked the Sheriff as ambulances came and even along with his returning Deputies who were all quite glad the threat was over with!
"Oh, well, as long as you're okay with it then I guess."
The Sheriff rolled his eyes at his son before taking Scott off to one of the ambulances to be seen by the EMTs while the Argent siblings and their men started to load up their weapons. It was decided in the end to take Scott to the hospital, something that had him gulping in fear as his mom would no doubt be there! Earning a chuckle from the EMT as she was familiar with Melissa McCall! "Wait! Before you guys take me there, there's something I need to say."
This had several people looking at one another but the EMT allowed for it to happen. "Sheriff… Derek's not who you're really looking for."
"Scott..." Began Derek warningly with some worry.
"No man, you don't deserve to be on the run and I never shoulda put the blame on you! Even the Argents need to know you aren't responsible for all the murders!"
"Then who is responsible?" Questioned Chris curiously as he came up to the group with Stiles wondering how this was gonna go.
Scott looked right at him before answering. "Peter Hale. He's responsible."
Derek just sighed as this would not mean anything good damnit! "Peter Hale? The same Peter Hale who's a comatose burn victim?" Questioned the Sheriff incredulously.
"He got better sir."
He got a look of incredulousness from the man for that response. "Hey! You just saw me and Derek shifted and fighting a Berserker!" Muttered the Omega defensively.
"Yeah, and I have no idea about any of that Scott as for all I know you and Hale were experimented on to be able to do something like that."
Scott just sighed while Derek rolled his eyes. "Look, just check it out okay? And please call off the manhunt for Derek?"
"I'll come with." Informed Chris as this had to be looked into as the Sheriff said he would look into doing so.
Protests were made by the Sheriff but Chris ignored it and made counter arguments while both of the boys were loaded up into the ambulance while another of the EMTs looked over Derek just to be on the safe side of things. And once they got to the hospital, Melissa was quick to tear into primarily Scott very tearfully while alternating between hugging him and slapping him upside the head for being so damned foolish to fight that thing! Even yelling at Stiles a little bit as well. Scott would get even more yelling his way from Allison once she showed up at the hospital as they fitted a cast on his arm despite the fact he didn't want one as he knew he would heal just fine just as he didn't think he needed bandages on his face cause of the healing. Though Melissa was heavily against that idea! Victoria could be seen smirking while her daughter yelled at the foolish Omega, though that smirk quickly died out when Allison landed one Hell of a kiss on the little fool! Making for the Redhead and the buzz cut teenager to smirk over it. Scott looked rather dazed afterwards with a goofy smile on his lips that was partially seen thanks to the bandages on his face.
And while there thankfully wouldn't be an encounter with Peter at the care center he was at, the Sheriff would get Chris to explain everything even if it wasn't exactly the easiest thing to wrap around his head. Allison, Lydia, and Melissa would even get told everything with Derek in attendance for that as well after being thankfully cleared by the Sheriff. They like the man had trouble wrapping their heads around the idea of the Supernatural really existing but thankfully didn't shun Scott for it. Not that it saved the kid from being grounded a good long while of course for endangering his life! An idea Allison supported much to his shock! "I am fully behind your mother in what she decides Scott. You really could have gotten yourself killed and NONE of us here want that to happen. So with that said, I think you should look into training and doing research to be better prepared."
"And this is why the women in our family are the leaders." Spoke up Victoria proudly.
"Why should he be better prepared? Its not like he'll be doing something like that again." Added Melissa with a glare.
"His being part of the Supernatural world may not allow him the choice."
Chris' words got him a glare from the mother and he couldn't help but take a step back over it. "If that's the case, I want you to train him as you seem to know what you're doing."
Derek protested over that one, protests that even Chris added too until Victoria made a 'hmm' noise thoughtfully. In the end, it would be decided that Scott and even Stiles would get proper training, training Derek was involved with and even Allison now that she knew the truth. Though Lydia chose to stay out of it beyond learning a few self defense moves. Which helped her when the time came with Peter in the Lacrosse field, allowing for Scott to get the drop on the man with Chris and Kate not far behind. Even if it did lead to her death due to her own involvement with the Hale Fire.
Author's Notes: May there have been much enjoyment of this one! Also, special thanks to Tweakerwolf and her friend for coming up and allowing me to use the idea of an Omega's eyes being green colored to show their status as an Omega.
