The Big Move

Part 7

Disclaimer: I've had this in mind awhile now and thought it was time I finally did something with it! Takes place a few days after the 6th part.

Summary: An old friend and bad news arrives in New York for Scott.


Topanga's

A lone figure in dark clothing made his way inside of Topanga's and upon immediately spotting whom he had come to New York for, frowned at. "There had better be a reason my baby sister is sitting on your lap, Scott." Declared the man with a strong warning tone in his voice that made the kid look his way and for his eyes to widen in surprise!

"D-Derek!?"

Naturally, Riley Matthews would spring from where she was to approach the frowny man who clearly needed a Purple Cat or two in his life! "And who are you, Mr. Frowny Face who needs a Purple Cat or two?" She asked curiously and eeped when he stared at her and immediately sat back down.

"Derek, don't be mean!" Scolded Cora as she came up to the mystery frowny man with a smile on her lips.

"I didn't threaten her." He replied.

"That's progress for him I think." Pointed out Scott.

Whom was standing behind Cora much to Maya's snickering amusement. A thought then occurred to Scott as Cora hugged her frowning brother. "Wait… If you're here, does that mean Beacon Hills is really gone?"

As he had been worried like Hell the past few days when a report on the news talked about how the small Californian town had been virtually wiped out over night by a freakishly powerful storm. Cora pulled back with a shocked look in her eyes. "Is, is he serious?"

For that matter, how is she only now finding out!? Their friends looked on in quiet curiousness as the frowny man Scott and Cora seemed to know fairly well nodded grimly. "Yeah, he is. I'm among a handful who managed to make it out of that alive."

If only because Jennifer or whoever the Hell she really was had apparently truly liked him enough to let him leave the town unscathed. "Wait, how does a whole town just go bye bye?" Wondered Maya in confusion.

But she was ignored as Scott urgently asked who else made it out alive. "Let me tell you who didn't make it, Scott. And no, this is in no way your fault." Derek told him, knowing how the kid could be at times.

And for Scott, to learn that Deaton, the Sheriff, Lydia, Danny, and Chris Argent were all dead had been horrifying to learn. "Oh God." Murmured Cora as she quickly caught her boyfriend before he could fall to the ground as their friends looked on in horrified shock.

The fact Scott puked wasn't too surprising either given the news he had just learned as he started to cry. Katy would end up calling his mother when she saw what was going on and told her to get to Topanga's as quickly as she could as everyone present focused on Scott while not paying one bit of attention to another group who were watching. One of whom was scowling at the whole thing and doing so in Scott's direction for that matter. Just what the Hell happened there? Wondered Cora worriedly.

And could it happen here?


Author's Notes: I kinda felt that without Scott there in Beacon Hills while the Darach and the Alpha Pack were, that things would go seriously bad. Though I probably could have ignored that and had it to where Deucalion and his bunch ended up in New York since he knew Scott was there instead of Beacon Hills. Maybe I'll explore that at some point.
