Selene POV: Once Stiles helped Selene get back to full power Scott came up with a crazy dangerous stupid plan to catch the Benefactor. He died not literally but enough. Only the plan didn't work the Benefactor didn't show.
Later Lydia found out that her grandmother might still be alive and she wrote part of the deadpool.
So now Selene Stiles and Lydia were at the station talking to his dad.
"It's not that she could still be alive…" Stiles said.
"It's that she would've had to fake her own death" Lydia finished.
"Your grandmother Lorraine Martin faked her death?" the Sheriff asked.
"Definitely" Stiles responded.
"Probably" Selene also said.
"Maybe" Lydia settled with.
"More than likely yes" Stiles finished.
"Oh I'm guessing you got a story to back this up?" his dad asked.
"She… might be helping the Benefactor" Lydia said.
"Or is the Benefactor" Stiles assessed.
"That sounds like a story worth hearing" the Sheriff said closing his door.
So all three of them explained how they thought the deadpool list was made by a banshee and the personal message for Lydia only her grandmother would know.
"Anybody seen Parrish? Haigh?" the Sheriff asked when they finished their story.
"Haven't seen him" Haigh replied.
Next thing they knew gun fire was going off and Parrish was naked covered in ash beating up Haigh.
"Hey! Hey!" the Sheriff yelled to stop them but when Parrish hit Haigh his gun went off and hit Stiles' dad in the shoulder.
Once Haigh was knocked out Stiles and Selene left Lydia where she was protected to check on his dad. He needed to go to the hospital. Before the ambulance got there they learned Haigh set Parrish on fire.
Selene suggested Lydia take Parrish to see Derek at his loft while Stiles and herself went to the hospital.
"All right Mr. Stilinski …" the doctor said.
"Sheriff" Stiles corrected.
"Sheriff Stilinski I've got you scheduled for surgery first thing in the morning. Unfortunately it's going to take a little digging to get that slug out of your shoulder."
"Yeah it's fine. Once more what's this part here? This line?" the Sheriff asked signing papers.
"Patient Responsibility. Parts of the procedure and hospital stay not covered by insurance."
Selene rubbed Stiles' arm as he paced a little.
"Are those big parts? Expensive parts?"
"That's between you and your insurance unfortunately. You should start feeling the morphine in a minute. Try to get some rest Mr… Sheriff" then the doctor left.
"Hey stop that. I was just curious about the terminology we're not in any kind of dire straits" his dad said as Stiles chewed on his thumb nail.
"I know about the bills dad. I know about the collectors calling about Eichen House. I know about the advance from the department about the credit cards" Stiles said.
"Stiles are you going through my stuff?"
"Yeah I go through all your stuff. Especially when you keep things from me."
"I keep things from you because you don't need to know everything."
"Yes I do. I have to know everything how the hell else am I supposed to take care of you?"
"You're not supposed to take care of me! I'm the dad you're the son you get it? Dad. Son. I take care of you."
Stiles sat down in the chair and pulled Selene on his lap and buried his head against her shoulder before looking at his dad.
"We're supposed to take care of each other."
"Hey we're going to be all right" his dad replied looking at them both.
Selene had her arm around Stiles' shoulder giving strength and comfort.
"How do you know dad?"
"I don't but the morphine's kicking in I'm not all that worried about anything right now."
His dad sighed and closed his eyes Stiles chewed his nail but stopped.
"But I am" Stiles said softly.
Selene didn't speak just rubbed his back to sooth him at least a little.
Stiles POV: Finally Selene curled up in Stiles' arms in the chair and fell asleep. Stiles carried her to his Jeep and drove home and put her in his houses only real guestroom and covered her up in the bed.
Then Lydia came over and they worked in his room with his witness board. Lydia opened his laptop to try and decipher the code her grandmother had left her. They worked until the sun came up.
"Try Maddy it's gotta be Maddy" Stiles said.
"Doesn't Maddy feel a little obvious as a cipher key?" Lydia asked.
"I guarantee it's Maddy."
So Lydia typed it in but it was denied.
"Okay your name she left the code for you right? So it's gotta be your name."
Lydia tried it but again it was denied.
"Your mom's name?"
Again denied.
"Do you have any beloved family pets?"
Stiles laid his head on the desk and sighed.
"The ashes were left for you the code was left for you. You're supposed to be able to figure this out" Stiles said.
"But no one else is. Which is why she made it hard."
"Oh my god" Stiles said getting up as his printer beeped for like the millionth time.
He shoved paper in it and hit the button.
"Okay?"
"You… 'No one else' no one else but you" Stiles said.
"What?" Lydia asked.
"Our guesses they're all about Lorraine right? We keep trying to guess a work that has something to do with her. So maybe we should try to guess one that's about you."
"Me? What about me?"
"What do you remember doing with your grandmother? You know what was your guys' like special think? Did you guys like go to the beach? You know did you like ice cream or…"
"We read."
"Okay what did you read?"
"The Little Mermaid."
"You read that movie?"
"It was a book first. Hans Christian Andersen."
"Type it in. 'LittleMerrmaid'."
It was denied.
"We read it every night. I got so obsessed with it for three months I wouldn't respond to anything but Ariel. It drove my parents crazy but… grandma thought it was adorable."
Lydia typed in ARIEL and the list started decoding.
"You recognize any of these?" Stiles asked looking at the names.
"Just my grandmothers."
Stiles printer was printing and paper was all over the floor. Stiles picked one up… it was the dead pool.
"Lydia… we need to call Scott."
"Hey sorry I slept so long you should've got me up" Selene said standing in the doorway.
Stiles forgot all about the list at that moment.
"Not for the world. You looked too beautiful to wake" Stiles said walking over to her and kissing her softly.
"You decode the list?" Selene asked smiling at him like he was her world it made him blush a little.
"Yeah and we are taking it to Parrish to look into" Stiles said after clearing his throat he thought it was the best option.
"Okay. What about the bonfire? Scott and Liam will both be there" Selene asked seeing the new dead pool list all over the floor.
"Oh dang I forgot. Uh okay you my gorgeous wolf go protect the pack and Lydia and I will go do boring safe work and see Parrish at the station" Stiles said knowing just how to convince her he wouldn't be in danger.
Selene left to go to the bonfire and Stiles took Lydia to the station.
"Well it's not another dead pool more like an already dead pool" Parrish said after the showed him the list.
"All of them? All dead?" Lydia asked
"Within the last 10 years. All suicides and all at the same place."
