To Seek Answers

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. Takes place 20 minutes later after Derek leaves Scott's room in Lunatic after bringing him home.

Summary: An explosion at Scott's leads to many seeking answers.


Melissa McCall had practically been inconsolable ever since her son was brought into the hospital following their home being blown up and him being found on the front lawn unconscious and unresponsive despite EMT's doing what they could to get a response from him. Parts of his body had been bandaged thanks to the flying debris of the explosion and it was more then likely he would have horrible burn scars on him for the remainder of his life unless plastic surgery was involved. The Sheriff had held Melissa in his arms as she cried hard over what had happened to her baby boy. Allison had been hysterically grief stricken after learning of the news after a tearful Stiles had called her up. And had rushed to the hospital not even caring about the recent events with her ex with her parents and Aunt following along for the ride. Lydia had shown up soon afterwards to provide moral support for her best friend as well. After three days, so far only the remains of a bomb had been found in the charred remains of the household and rumor had it that Rebecca 'Harley' Harlowe had been the one responsible for giving Jackson Whittemore a black eye for his unkind words towards Scott.

Agent Rafael McCall had also shown up to help find the one or ones responsible and was vastly unhappy over the lack of finding the one responsible. Derek Hale was even a possible suspect considering Scott had fingered him for the attack at the high school some days before and the man had been hard as Hell to find as well. Even with the Hunters trying to track him down for that matter. After the 4th day of only the bomb remains to go on and many in the community giving all sorts of support to the McCall family, Alan Deaton had shown up at the hospital with an idea that could help them learn of what happened. Though it certainly had its risks as what he had in mind could reveal more then just who was responsible for the bombing of the McCall home. However, quite a few people minus the Argent adults were highly skeptical of the whole thing including Stiles himself! "Man, no offense to you or anything as I know my boy Scott looks up to ya, but callin' up a God to find out what happened!? That's some crazy talk!" Declared an incredulous Harley while Melissa was looking at the man angrily.

"I realize how it sounds, but all I ask for is a chance to allow me to do this." Implored the man.

"I think you need to leave Mr. Deaton, this is no joking matter." Warned Meiissa unhappily with Rafael nodding in agreement.

The man looked towards the mother of his young protege and was about to say something when Chris Argent did so first. "Let him do it, Deaton knows what he's talking about." Said the man firmly.

Deaton wasn't sure if he should be grateful for that or not. "If this doesn't work, I promise I will walk away and never be in contact with you or Scott again."

Melissa gave it serious consideration and then decided that what the Hell, why not let the obviously crazy man do the whole God calling thing. "You can't be serious!" Hissed a certain Agent.

"I am Raf, I am. God help me, I am."

Frowning in annoyance over that as Deaton stood a short distance away from Scott's bed with everyone minus Jackson and Danny, he began to speak. "Great Dagda, member of the Tuatha De Danann, I, Alan Deaton, your faithful Druid son, beseech you to impart knowledge upon us in order to learn the truths behind our young friend, Scott McCall's stay in the hospital. It is our hope that with your aide, we will know who is responsible and bring him or her to justice."

His words had been strong and clear and at first, it seemed like nothing was happening and someone was about to say something to that effect when the room suddenly went black. "What the Hell just happened!?" Demanded to know Dr. Geyer in alarm.

A question several others wanted to know as well! "I believe Dagda himself has answered my request." Replied Deaton helpfully and feeling grateful it had happened to begin with!

"Hit him again, and you'll see me get angry." Came the voice of Scott McCall from the darkness and making everyone look at his prone form but seeing that he wasn't even awake confused them even more.

"You're not gonna believe where he's telling me to take you."

"Did you find it?"

"How am I supposed to find one bullet!? They have a million! This house is like… The fricken Wal-Mart of guns!"

Snorts of amusement could be heard after that despite the fact many in the room were quite curious over that bit of dialogue along with the angry bit! "Thank God he found that thing or I woulda had a lifetime of nightmares." Grumbled Stiles to himself.

"And why exactly was my son looking for a bullet?" Asked Melisssa with a hint of warning to her voice that she was not to be messed with on this.

Stiles winced after that. "Uhh… Well… He was lookin' for it in order to save Derek Hale's life."

"Oh, so THAT'S who I shot the night I came into town!?" Asked Kate a bit surprised but not terribly concerned.

"Maybe?"

"The fact you opened fire on someone does not sit well with me."

"Or me." Added Agent McCall right after the Sheriff had spoken.

Kate shrugged her shoulders unconcernedly while Chris just glared at her. As they did NOT need any sort of Law Enforcement focus on them damnit! "Scott, I just want you to remember one thing for tonight." Came the voice of Lydia from the darkness.

"Uhh, winning isn't everything?"

"Nobody likes a loser."

"That's what you were saying to him that night!? Lydia, what the Hell!?" Snapped Allison unhappily while Melissa gave the Redhead an unhappy look.

Lydia winced a little. "I'm sorry! But there had been a rumor he was going to quit and then there was the whole thing where Jackson had been hurt and that had annoyed me! So I did my best to ensure Scott played at his best to ensure we had a winning game! Because I don't date the Captain of the losing team."

"Wow, how pathetically high school of you." Remarked Kate snidely.

A glare was sent her way by the Redhead but it did nothing to effect Kate any much to her annoyance! The black void around them suddenly shifted to a locker room and everyone could see Scott and Jackson. "Good morning." Greeted that version of Scott.

"Where are you getting your juice?"

They watched as Scott looked at him confusedly with that opener before responding. "My mom does all the grocery shopping." That earned a few snorts of amusement considering that is not what Jackson had been talking about!

"Now, listen, McCall… You're gonna tell me exactly what it is and who you're buying it from, because there's no way in Hell you're out there kicking ass on the field like that without some sort of chemical boost." Glares were sent towards the suspicious and accusing boy for his words.

"Oh, you mean Steroids. Are you on Steroids?" Asked Scott in realization and making for a few chuckles to occur.

Jackson then slammed Scott up against a locker. "What the Hell is going on with you, McCall!?"

"What's going on with me!? You really wanna know? Well, so would I! Because I can see, hear, and smell things I shouldn't be able to see, hear, and smell. I do things that should be impossible, I'm sleepwalking three miles into the middle of the woods, and I'm pretty much convinced I'm going out of my freaking mind!" Yelled Scott and then sagged in relief after getting all that off of his chest and it was a first for Allison as she had never quite seen him get so worked up!

Neither had his mother, Deaton, or the Sheriff! The Argent adults however, they had their eyes narrowing in suspicion over what the young man and possible Beta Werewolf had been saying. "Wow, I bet letting all that out felt great for him." Remarked Lydia offhandedly.

Of course his stony stare he started giving her in Coach's office days ago was so much hotter in her view! "You think you're funny, don't you, McCall? I know you're hiding something. And I'm gonna find out what it is. I don't care how long it takes." Proclaimed Jackson as he slammed a fist on the locker next to Scott's head and then walked away.

"I don't know what that young man's problem is, but I certainly do NOT like it." Groused Melissa unhappily.

Another scene soon showed up, this time of Scott appearing in his room looking sweaty and breathing heavily as he looked out the window to see the full moon. "Hey, I think this was the night of the party you invited me too." Spoke up Allison towards Lydia as she watched her ex find his way into the tub in his pants and shoes with the water running.

They all watched as Scott grabbed his head as if he was in pain until he looked at his hand and saw claws growing out of his nails much to the shock and horror of some present. Things only seemed to get worse as he wiped away at his mirror to reveal fangs growing and his eyes turning a golden color much to his increasing fear. "Okay… What the Hell is going on!? As I know that that is NOT normal!" Yelled out a horrified Melissa as she had no idea of what was going on with her baby boy!

"That would him having his first transformation into a Werewolf." Declared Chris.

This got him looks of disbelief as no way was Werewolves real! Their attention was soon turned back to the scene of Stiles trying to get into Scott's room and then him telling the terrified young man that Derek had taken Allison home from the party, earning a few glares for it from her mom and dad. Making her wilt a little over the intensity of it! And it was apparent Scott was under the belief that Derek was the one responsible for biting him. "Not possible, only an Alpha can do that. And last I knew, Derek's not an Alpha." Spoke up Chris again and making those aside from the other two Argent adults wonder how he even knew that!

Their attention was soon grabbed again by the scene of Scott jumping from a second story window all the way down to the ground and making a splash in the water with one fist hitting the ground while the other was in the air with him on one knee. Ears growing pointy as saliva could be seen in his mouth as he looked upwards and let out a blood curdling roar and took off. "Oh, oh my God." Whispered Melissa in horror as she couldn't believe this had happened to her son!

Making for the Sheriff to wrap her in his arms. They watched as he ran into the woods until he found a black jacket, one that Allison mentioned as being her's and she'd soon get why her ex had been so crazily paranoid about her jacket sometime later! To her horror, along with Meliss's, and Scott's dad and the Sheriff's anger, they'd watch as Scott would get his arm stuck to a tree courtesy of an arrow launched by Chris himself after a short appearance by Derek! "I couldn't have known it was him! And even if I had, I wouldn't have killed him! We live by a Code!"

"And what Code is that exactly?" Questioned Agent McCall.

"We hunt those who hunt us."

"Yeah, that doesn't exactly fill me with confidence."

There was several agreements with that line of thinking, making the man sigh in annoyance. They all then watched as Derek knocked out the two men Chris had with him before pulling the arrow out of Scott's arm and hauling ass away from the area where the two would then have a talk. "Who were they!?"

"Hunters. The kind that have been hunting us for centuries."

"US!? You mean you! You did this to me!" Exploded Scott from where he sat up against a tree.

"Is it really so bad, Scott? That you can see better, hear more clearly, move faster then any human could ever hope? You've been given something that most people would kill for. The Bite is a gift." Declared Scott to the young man.

Snorts came from the elder Argents as they didn't see it that way at all. "I don't want it!"

"Clearly this has been forced on him. It may make him receptive to working with us to find the one who Bit him." Mused Victoria.

"Like Hell he will." Declared Melissa.

"He is our son and he will NOT be used like some pawn." Warned her ex-husband seriously.

"And he won't be, so long as he doesn't kill anyone, we won't do anything to him. Of course, he will not be dating Allison cause of his… Condition." Replied Victoria with a small shrug.

Protests were made over that but Derek's voice drowned them out for a bit. "You will. And you're gonna need me if you want to learn how to control it. So you and me, Scott… We're brothers now."

"Aww, how cute. Der wants himself a little brother." Mock awwed Kate and not even caring about the glares she was getting from her brother and sister in law for her words.

More scenes showed up of various moments, some amusing, some sweet as can be, some wow worthy, and some horrible. Like in the gymnasium when the monstrous Alpha showed up and took control of Scott and as he tried to fight it off, his eyes went red for a brief second before going gold. "That is supposed to be a myth." Grumbled Victoria to herself.

"I'm afraid you're quite mistaken about the tale of the True Alpha. As the last one was seen over a hundred years ago." Supplied Deaton helpfully while they watched as the controlled Scott broke off the key in the door keyhole in order to protect the kids inside.

Allison was starting to feel guilt for how she had been towards Scott ever since that night. Of course, she wasn't alone in the belief he had made a really horrible plan that nearly got them all killed and even wrongfully blaming Derek for his part in the whole thing. Though it was clear to see he had panicked when he accused him of it. Making for the Sheriff to swear loudly over the whole thing as this meant they were chasing after an innocent man! And during the fight Scott had with Derek in the dilipated remains of the Hale home, even the Hunters were surprised by how well Scott had managed for a bit in his fight against Derek! Even Kate had been impressed!

"Wow, imagine if he was trained while having contorl over his hairy side. He could be Hell for anybody to deal with!" Mused the woman excitedly after seeing that.

Unfortunately for her, not everyone had been so enthused by that idea since it would likely mean danger for Scott! Another fight was soon seen between Scott and Derek after the older man had thrown the young man off of the vehicle Jackson and Allison had been talking in. Leading to the two fighting Wolves to show up at Scott's house with Derek helping put him on the bed. Of course another possible fight was likely to arise between Allison and Lydia over the kiss her best friend had had with Scott in the Coach's office. Something that was clear to see was the girl taking advantage of Scott's clear unhappiness for her own gains! Frowns of distaste and glares were given towards Stiles for what he had done to Scott with the water bowl and the young man had the good grace to look ashamed of himself for it.

Of course the bit about there being a cure for Bitten Werewolves was instantly destroyed by Deaton. "I'm sorry, but there is no cure. And its wrong of Derek to be using that myth against him in order to get his help. His mother would not be pleased by that." Hearing that there was no cure for their son broke the hearts of Scott's parents. As this meant he was essentially stuck with what he was now.

"What would actually happen if he did kill the Alpha?" Questioned Agent McCall curiously.

"He would gain the rank of Alpha himself. And that's not something Scott is ready for at this time."

"So, my best guess is, Der is using wee Scottie to get close to the Alpha to get payback for what happened to his sister. And then become Alpha." Mused Kate.

Deaton nodded. "Yes, quite possible indeed. Though he was never meant for such a thing as Talia had long been training Laura for the role instead."

Their attention however was soon grabbed by the fact that Scott's attention had been focused on something in a nearby pile of clothes. "That boy seriously needs to use his basket more." Grumbled Melissa to herself.

Scott cautionsly approached the pile of clothing and then removed it, only to find a timer and a video that soon came on. "Hi there, Scott, Matt Daehler here. Now you might be wondering how I got this into your room and well… Let's just say I paid a visit right after you took off like a Bat out of Hell! Impressive I must say, if a little scary for that matter. But anyways! I've left you this little gift cause well… I'm not happy. You know why I'm not happy, Scott? Cause you have what I want. Namely, Allison Argent."

Frowns appeared on the faces of many. "Ew, I have ALWAYS found him to be a little creepy." Shivered Lydia.

"You ever wonder why Jackson gave him that black eye?"

"I did but all he said is that it was a difference of opinion."

"Yeah, you could say that. One involvin' Jackson over hearin' him talkin' about wantin' to take a shot up your skirt."

"I knew I never liked that white boy." Groused Harley unhappily.

"So, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ensure you aren't around anymore, McCall. Cause Allison is rightfully mine." Spoke up the smug tone of Matt Daehler and Scott's eyes suddenly grew wide as he realized just what exactly the timer was doing!

And then hauled ass as quick as possible and making the group wonder why he didn't just go out the window again. Scott would just barely make it off the porch when the house went up in flames, sending him flying as well. Everything soon returned to the hospital room and both the Sheriff and Agent McCall soon left the room to track down the would be murderer. Scott's eyes would open after that. "Wha… Where?" Asked the boy and sparking a whole lot of movement and talking in the process!
