Concerned
Disclaimer: One of those rare Stiles centered chapters since I figured this could be a potential thing even though its unlikely to happen on the show itself. Also, this features a slight nod to the Dusk Till Dawn tv series where Brandon Soo Hoo is concerned.
Summary: Its the first time he's been back to Beacon Hills and naturally… Stiles is a little concerned. Actually, very concerned!
When Stiles finally came back to Beacon Hills after months away at Qauntico for Christmas, he definitley hadn't been expecting things to look so… Rough at home. Something that made him pretty worried given the fact no one had told him anything while he had been gone. Hell, a lot of what he saw of his home town looked like a freaking warzone for crying out loud! His view of things really didn't improve any when a bunch of thugs showed up with weapons, demanding to know if he was normal or not. And that's when things got really wild as soon after, Theo and Peter of all people, along with some girl and a guy with machetes showed up and kicked their asses. And in some cases, ripping out their throats much to Stiles' immense shock! "Okay, what the HELL is going on here!?" Demanded to know the FBI Cadet.
"Stiles, always a pleasure to see you." Peter greeted as if nothing had just happened.
"Come on, we've gotta get out of the open before more of them show up." Declared the Machete wielding kid urgently.
"And before any of the cold stuff we got from the store ruins." Added the Blonde girl as she rushed back to the car they'd shown up in.
Making for an even more baffled Stiles in the process as Peter and Theo pulled him along and got him into the car. "Again… I gotta ask, what the HELL is goin' on!? Why's the town look so crappy?"
Theo turned to look at him. "War happened. Well, is happening."
"And we all thought when we managed to kill Anuk-Ite that it would stop, boy were we wrong." Grumbled Peter unhappily.
Munroe and Gerard were going to DIE by his hand, one way or another by the time this was over with! "W-Wait, war? Anuk-Ite? The Hell are you two talkin' about?"
"Their talking about the war with the Hunters. The one Scott chose to keep you out of the loop on so you wouldn't possibly get killed trying something." Explained the Blonde helpfully as they drove.
Causing him to gape at not only that bit of information, but at the horrible state the Sheriff's Station looked. "Yep, the Hunters decided to destroy that place as much as possible since your old man and his Deputies refused to support them. But don't worry, your old man's alive." Supplied Theo.
Though Parrish hadn't really been the same since as during the attack, he'd lit up and sent a good number of Hunters to the Morgue. And if it hadn't of been for Lydia, there was no telling how much worse off the guy would be at the moment. Oh… That's gonna be ugly when Stiles finds out about those two.
Not that he was going to mention it as Lydia really should have said something to him despite how hectic things were these days. "Jesus… And this… Anuk-Ite thing?"
"Ancient Shape-Shifter from Native American lore. Apparently was trapped in the Ghost Riders' world and managed to escape." Peter explained.
"Finally got its ass roasted but good by Parrish and Halwyn though." Added in the Machete wielding kid.
Stiles sighed. "I'm, I'm sorry, but who the heck are you two?"
"Oh, I'm Jiang."
"And I'm Ellie. We're the last surviving members of the Ito Pack." Explained the girl sadly.
Causing Jiang to grip her hand in a show of support that she appreciated a great deal of as Stiles grew even more shocked. "Jeez, Satomi and… And the others like Brett?"
"All dead." Peter told him.
Stiles blew out a breath at that. "Damn. And I was kept out of all this just so I'd be safe?" He asked unhappily.
"Yep. Bad enough Melissa got hurt by those assholes. Thankfully she's not in the area anymore since Agent McCall got her out of town." Theo told him.
Jiang looked back at their recent pick up. "That guy's the reason we're even alive as it is."
Ellie shuddered at the mention of that near death experience and would always be grateful to that man for his timely interference. "I… I'm gonna have a long talk with Scott when I see him next."
But this did explain some stuff he'd over heard about a town being put on lock down however. Said town apparently being Beacon Hills and the electrified blockades made so much more sense now… Theo snorted at that. "Might be harder then you think as he's basically got a lot to do considering he's in charge of the war effort." An effort that was clearly wearing thin on the Alpha given the grays appearing in his hair.
Stiles narrowed his eyes at that but kept quiet as they rode on until they showed up at Eicen of all places. "Uhh… Why are we here?" Asked the FBI Cadet as they began to get out once past the gates.
And the place looked decidedly different too! Peter looked at him for a moment. "Cause, my boy, this is the headquarters of our fair Resistance."
"And thanks to a few very gifted types, we're able to be self-sustainable for the most part." Ellie told him as she, Jiang, and Theo grabbed the stuff they'd gotten from the store.
What used to be a large area for Eichen's needs, was now even larger with several fields for food to grow and for kids to play in as not everyone in town had fled due to their wanting to support the Supernatural. Though some had left to fight the good fight outside of it through awareness and interviews and the like. "And who is this?" Asked Quinn suspiciously as she came up to the returned group and grabbed one of the bags from Theo.
"This, my dear Quinn, would be Stiles Stilinski himself. Future FBI Agent in training." Peter told her as they walked towards the front doors while many looked their way.
"Oh, the Sheriff's son?"
"Correct."
"Oh, well… Better late then never I guess. Just try not to be too disappointed if a lot of people here act suspicious of you." She told Stiles who just stared at her for a moment.
"STILINSKI!" Yelled out the unmistakeable voice of Coach Finstock.
Causing Stiles to be even more surprised then before! "Coach!?"
"Damn right its Coach! About time you got your ass here!"
"Uhh, yeah, I uhh.. I have to agree with you on that."
Damn was this surreal! Not to mention even more concerning! "Come on, I'll take you to a room and then we can see if McCall has the time to talk with you." Offered the man surprisingly as the others walked on.
"You guys act like he's not gonna have time for that. We're best friends for cryin' out loud!"
"Yeah, well, he is runnin' a war effort after all. Doesn't leave you much time for socializin'." The man retorted as they walked.
Though what time the kid did have, he used it well on Tate and the others, along with phone calls to his mom. Stiles just sighed. "Right… Lead on."
Jeez… Gone awhile and things go to Hell. He might not ever leave again. Or if he did, he'd force Scott and the others to go with him since it was probably way safer!
Author's Notes: Since I couldn't remember the Blonde's name, I just went with Ellie since that's close to her actress' real name.
