Stiles POV: Things were looking down. A murder escaped from the hospital and tried to kill Kira. Next everyone was taken down to the Sheriff's station by Agent McCall because the entire town was blacked out.
It was blacked out because Kira sucked up the electricity with her powers which she didn't know she had.
"So when did you get there?" Agent McCall asked.
"At the same time" Stiles said.
"At the same time as who?"
"At the same time as me" Scott told him.
"By coincidence?"
"What do you mean coincidence?" Stiles asked.
"That's what I'm asking you. The three of you arrived at the same time. Was that coincidence?"
"Are you asking me?" Scott asked.
"I think he's asking me" Stiles said.
"Or maybe me?" Selene guessed.
"I think he's asking all of you" Lydia said.
"Okay let me answer the questions. Let me ask the questions. Just so I have this absolutely clear. Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school. Someone left him a coded message on the black board telling him to kill Kira. Then Barrow took Kira to a power substation and tied her up with the intent of electrocuting her which blacked out the entire town" Agent McCall said.
"Sounds about right" Stiles said.
"How did you know he'd take her to a power station?"
"Well cause he was an electrical engineer. So where else would he take her" Stiles explained.
"That's one hell of a deduction there Stiles."
"Yeah what can I say? I take after my pops. He's in law enforcement" Stiles said smiling and winking at his dad behind Agent McCall.
His dad laughed but coughed to cover it up.
"Stiles just uh… just answer the man" the Sheriff said.
"We made a good guess."
"What were the two of you doing?"
"Eating pizza"
"Eating sushi" Scott and Kira said at the same time.
"Eating sushi"
"Eating pizza" they said again.
"Eating sushi and pizza" they both finally said.
"You believe this?" Agent McCall asked the Sheriff.
"To be honest I haven't believed a word Stiles has said since he learned how to speak. But I think these kids found themselves in the right place at the right time and that girl sitting there is very lucky for it."
Stiles made a confused face at his dad's first words but smiled too. Beside him Selene slightly giggled.
"Kira is that how you remembered it?"
Everyone looked at her.
"Yes… Could I get my phone back now?" Kira asked.
"Sorry but no."
Soon after they were free to leave. Even without power they still had school the next morning.
"Class starts in five minutes. Just because there's no power don't expect there to be no school" Coach said walking down the hall with a megaphone.
"That was a triple negative very impressive Coach" Stiles said.
"Copy that" Coach replied.
Stiles reached into his locker to grab his books but he knocked a set of keys out.
"Oops. Hello where did you come from?" he said to himself as he picked up the keys.
He waved at Scott when he walked in but Scott was looking at Kira. She walked away and Scott started after her.
"No no stop stop" Stiles said blocking Scott's way.
"What? I need to talk to her" Scott said.
"No you need to remember someone left a coded message telling Barrow to kill her" Stiles said.
"Which is why I need to talk to her."
"Scott no way. Until we figure out if she's just another psychotic monster that's going to start murdering everybody I vote against any and all interaction."
"What if she's like me?"
"That girl walked through 1.21 gigawatts of electricity. She's not like you."
After school Scott said he needed help getting Kira's phone back because there were pictures on her phone she didn't want anyone to see.
"Okay this one will get you into all perimeter doors this one into the evidence room and this one's for my father's office" Stiles said handing them security cards.
"You didn't steal theses did you?" Scott asked.
"No I cloned them using the RFIS emulator" Stiles replied.
"Is that worse than stealing?"
"…It's smarter" Stiles said.
"Scott can I ask you something?" Kira asked taking Scott away.
"Okay I'll just…" Stiles said sadly staying in his jeep.
"Okay. So now almost everyone's out dealing with the blackout. But there's always somebody at the front desk. There's dispatch and usually a night shifter or two. You guys are gonna use the service entrance by the dumpster. All right? Nobody uses it. Now I'll text you if anyone comes out. But Scott if you get caught I can't help you. My dad's under an investigation for an impeachment because of your dad so if anything happens I will run and leave you both for dead" Stiles said when they came back over to his Jeep.
"Got it. Thanks. Seriously dude" Scott said.
"I'd ask my dad you know but…"
"No I know I get it."
"All right just uh hurry up."
Stiles was looking at the weird key on his key ring.
"Ah hell" Stiles said a few minutes later.
Agent McCall pulled up and headed toward the building.
"Come on Scott" Stiles said as he texted Scott.
Next to him Selene let out a gasp of pain.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Stiles asked panicked.
"Not me Derek's hurt" Selene said.
Stiles looked at her then Agent McCall as he walked inside.
"Go help Scott I'll help Derek" Selene said getting out of the Jeep.
"Okay. I'm so going to regret this" Stiles said getting out and running after Agent McCall.
"Hey hey wow! Thank god you are here. Oh boy thank the lord" Stiles said stopping Agent McCall from going into the evidence room.
"What do you want Stiles?"
"I was just… I was thinking on the case. I was thinking I should clue you in on my thinking. Here's my thinking. I was thinking this I was thinking that Barrow right Barrow… I was thinking that Barrow received the information about who to kill at the school right you know that? So I was thinking maybe the person who gave him that information check this out might actually be someone at the school. And that's uh my thinking" Stiles rambled.
"You're right."
"I am?"
"Yep we uh we started looking for links between Barrow faculty and students last night" Agent McCall said.
"So you already then know that stuff? You already thought of that."
"Your dad did. His one useful suggestion" Agent McCall slid his ID card through the scanner but Stiles stopped him.
"You know this attitude that you have toward my dad? You can dress it up to all the professional disapproval that you want. But I know the real reason you don't like him" Stiles said softly getting serious.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. Because he knows something that you don't want him to know. And guess what… I know it too."
"Go home Stiles. There's a… There's a curfew" Agent McCall said clearly shaken.
Stiles finally went back out to his Jeep.
"We did it. All the pics deleted" Scott said smiling as he came out.
"That was awesome! I mean terrifying. Completely terrifying…but kind of awesome. I've never done anything like that before. Have you?" Kira asked smiling.
Scott and Stiles looked at each other.
"Yeah once or twice" Stiles said.
"So I guess I should take you home" Scott said to Kira which made her stop smiling.
Instead they went to Derek's place where there was a massive party.
"It just showed up there on my key ring this morning. I asked my dad if he put it there but he said he didn't know anything about it" Stiles yelled over the music.
"It's just a key right?" Scott said.
"Yeah but it's not mine. And I don't know how it got there or what it's for" Stiles replied.
"You want to leave so we can figure it out?" Scott asked.
Before Stiles could answer a girl kissed him on the cheek.
"Happy Halloween."
Stiles finally getting that he was at a huge party.
"It can wait. It can wait" he said.
Stiles bumped into the girl that kissed him a few minutes later.
"Hey I kissed you" she said laughing.
"Yeah you kinda did. What's your name?" Stiles asked.
"I'm Caitlin."
"Caitlin… oh my god. You're Caitlin" Stiles said now remembering where he saw her before.
"I know I just told you that" she replied.
"No. I know… I just… I mean uh…. You and your girlfriend… she's…" Stiles tried.
"She died yeah" Caitlin said. "Are you okay?" Stiles asked.
"Yeah I'm really drunk!" she started dancing.
"Okay" Stiles said seeing she clearly wasn't upset.
"Do you want to dance?" she asked.
Dance yes with her not so much but Selene was somewhere helping Derek.
"Yeah sure I guess" Stiles said blending into the dancer.
Stiles finally got tired of dancing with a girl that wasn't Selene so he went to sit down. Caitlin brought two beers over though.
"You have a bottle opener?" she asked.
"Yes" Stiles said grabbing his keys only for her to take them from him.
"Your key has phosphors on it. Look" she said holding up the new key it glowed in the black light.
Next thing Stiles knew the girl was kissing him.
"Whoa whoa no" he said gently pushing her back.
"I have a girlfriend. And I thought you liked girls?"
"Oh sorry… I do like girls" she replied looking a little embarrassed.
"So you also like boys?"
"Absolutely do you?"
"No not really sorry just my girl. What are phosphors?" Stiles asked her.
"Oh they're any substance that luminesces. It's in your teeth and your finger nails. Laundry detergent. It's also in this reacts to the UV light that's why it glows" she said rubbing some of the lipstick off his lips.
"How would I get phosphors on my key?"
"Have you been handling chemicals?"
"No I don't think I…"
Suddenly it hit him and it wasn't good he needed to check something.
"I'm sorry I just thought of something and I have to go" Stiles said jumping up.
"Okay" Caitlin nodded.
Stiles went into the crowd only to stop to grab a bottle of water and go back and give it to her.
"Here. You drink that. Drink that whole thing. Whole thing okay? Excuse me!" Stiles said going back into the crowd.
Then he left too concerned to even think he shouldn't go alone.
Selene POV: All of a sudden the music stopped.
"Get out!" Derek's voice boomed through the building.
Sure enough everyone ran. Leaving the werewolves including Selene who stood by Derek Kira and Allison. Also some really creepy ninja… things. As one the shifted to look at Aiden.
"Guys they're all looking at me. Why are they all looking at me? Guys!" Aiden yelled as the ninja things got closer to him.
Scott and Derek attacked while Selene blocked their path to Aiden. However when Derek snapped ones neck the thing just turned its head back and threw Derek into a wall. Scott while fighting two also got thrown a crossed the floor into a wall.
Selene was hit over the head from the side clearing the path to Aiden. Two of them grabbed Aiden.
"Somebody do something" Allison begged.
Isaac stepped forward and unleashed his claws. The other ninja turned and looked at Isaac then pulled a sword from its own chest and whirled it around in a cloud of smoke.
"Isaac get back" Selene said as she slowly got up only for another sword to be pushed through her chest right in the heart.
She vaguely remembered Isaac catching her before she blacked out. When she came to a few minutes later the sun was up her wounds closed and those things were gone. Isaac helped her to stand.
"You okay?" Derek asked.
"Yeah it takes more than a sword to the chest to take me down but their swords have some kind of poison on them it hurts" Selene said rubbing her chest slowly.
"Where's Stiles?" she asked looking around.
No one knew.
Stiles POV: At the school Stiles put the new key into the locked door in the closet where Barrow was hiding and turned it. Slowly he opened the door that was no longer locked. He remembered how Agent McCall said Barrow had someone help him try to kill Kira.
Stiles went to the board where the numbers and letters that spelled Kira's name were still on there.
Slowly he wrote the same numbers next to the old ones… they were the exact same writing style…His.
