The Big Move
Part 5
Disclaimer: For those of you who've been wanting more! Some of you might remember Gregori from an earlier idea in this fic.
Summary: Scott has a run in with one of New York's Alphas!
"All I am saying is that you would not only benefit from being part of a Pack, but also give great status to said Pack for all your actions before coming here!" Boomed an Alpha known as Gregori.
Who'd been around for centuries and still liked to wear old style warrior clothing while having a giant battle axe strapped to his back. "While I appreciate the offer, the answer's no. Especially since it seems like all you're doing is just looking to get some street cred." Scott told him firmly as he and the big man made their way to Topanga's one fine warm day a week after school had let out for the Summer.
Gregori grimaced as he realized that old habits were starting to stir. Habits he had long since been trying to rid himself of since they had gotten him into trouble on more then one occasion in the past! Laughing loudly, he clapped the young Wolf on the shoulder, making Scott's knees buckle under the pressure. "Ha ha! You make good point, young one! My apologies for old habits showing up."
"No worries, I guess. It happens." Scott told the big man as they entered Topanga's and noticing Riley and the others already present.
Even getting a narrow eyed look from the Brunette for his helpful interference where her, Lucas, and Maya were concerned! Interference that was a success as well in his, Lucas', and even Maya's eyes. And neither of the two were willing to give Riley any leeway where the triangle idea was concerned since both knew that just wouldn't work forever. "So with my slight forgiven, why not agree to join? You would have strength in Pack and Pack would have strength in you. Would never be alone."
Sitting at the counter and feeling surprised that the chair Gregori got was able to hold his weight, the teen from Beacon Hills spoke up. "Sorry, but no. I… Kinda already have a Pack with the kids I waved at. Besides, I really don't do well with Alphas."
"Ah, yes, the stories of your past deeds tell us much! Though it is strange that a Pack would have so many humans." Muttered the man in what for him was a low voice.
"Life. It likes to throw curveballs."
"Hah! Yes, too true! But if not join, then would you consider being ally to my Pack? Helping when needed? Just as we would help you?"
Scott looked over at him while failing to notice that his friends was paying close attention to what was going on. Not that Cora needed too with her hearing and all! And seeing as the man's request was reasonable, the Wolf from Beacon Hills agreed. "Yeah, I don't see any problems with that." Boy did he hope that wouldn't come back to bite him in the ass!
"Ha ha! Barkeep! Two of your finest drinks!" Declared the happy big man as he and Scott shook on the deal like a couple of ancient warriors.
"You do know we don't have Alcohol here, right?" Questioned Topanga herself with raised eyebrows.
Wondering where on Earth Scott had managed to meet this guy. "I am aware, never fear!"
"Alrighty then, two of our finest coming up!"
Chuckling heartily, Gregori pounded his fist on the counter with a victorious feeling as Scott just sighed. As that went on, Riley wondered aloud what was all that about. "Let's just say that in certain circles, Scottie's a popular guy and you just saw an example of that." Cora told her with amusement written up all over her face.
This hadn't been the first time Scott had encountered one of New York's Alphas and she knew it wouldn't be the last. And Gregori himself was exactly the kind of person you weren't ever entirely sure of how to handle given how he acted and his large size. "So he's not trying to get Scott to join some role playing thing?" Wondered Kira curiously as she nibbled on her lower lip.
"Nope. Which would be funny if the big guy actually knew what that was."
"So a gang then?" Questioned Riley with a glare towards the big guy.
"Nope. Just a group who share a few similar experiences."
"Oh."
"I bet a guy like that would have no problem stayin' on Tombstone." Zay remarked and Lucas had to agree on that one!
As the guy was probably heavier then what ol' Tombstone was! A debate was then had over that and even Kira would join in on it once she got some history behind it. Leaving for Cora to breathe a sigh of relief that they had been distracted from the scene with Scott and Gregori. Surprising though that he thinks of us as a Pack….
Surprising but flattering as the young Hale hadn't sensed any deception on his part where that statement was concerned.
Author's Notes: Originally had something else in mind but thought this worked instead. The original version might be seen one day. When I don't know since I'm not sure if AO3 would let me put up a deleted scenes fic. R and R!
