Stiles POV: Stiles Selene and Scott were piled into Stiles' Jeep following the police who were chasing the Beast.
"Unit 5 heading Northwest on Crescent reporting an incredibly large…something" Clark said over the police scanner Stiles had in his Jeep.
"Unit 9 to dispatch I think I've got eyes on the same thing some kind of rabid animal" another deputy said.
"Unit 5 to 9 trust me that's no animal."
"Unit 6 to dispatch. We have a situation downtown. Multiple fatalities" Strauss said.
"Copy medics on the way. Do you have perp in sight Unit 6?" Dispatch asked.
"Negative. Looks like a 10-91E animal attack."
"10-4 can you say what kind of animal?" Stiles looked at Selene who nodded before he picked up his radio.
"All Units stay back. Do not engage. I repeat do no engage."
"Stiles get off the radio. All Units alert wait for up. Repeat no one goes near this thing" his dad said.
"Unit5 reporting a sighting on Hill Road Southbound."
"Unit 9 I've got it turning off Oakridge Southbound on Beachwood."
"All Units this is Dispatch we've got a 911 call with additional sighting on Michell."
"Wait a second… Beachwood to Michell?" Stiles said figuring it out.
"It's headed back for the hospital" Scott said.
"Oh Goddess it'll be a blood bath" Selene said softly.
"Dad…" Stiles said getting back on the radio.
"Stiles get off this channel" his dad responded.
"Dad just listen to me okay? It's headed for Beacon Memorial."
Stiles put the radio down shifted gears and pressed harder on the accelerator.
"You ready for this?" Stiles asked Selene.
Her eyes shown red. Yet there was also hesitation in them.
"Just get me to him and I'll end this for good" she said.
Stiles knew Selene knew something about the Beast but she wasn't telling and that bothered him. But what bothered him more was letting his mate go without back up, her choice, to fight the Beast.
"There's still and innocent teenager inside Selene you can't just kill him" Scott said.
Selene growled.
"Do you want to just keep letting HIM kill people?"
Scott didn't answer.
"Unit 5 Clack I need eyes on Parrish. Does anyone have Parrish's 20?" the Sheriff asked.
"All Units we have a 911 emergency call reporting a man on fire running into Beacon Memorial" Dispatch said.
"Clark disregard" the Sheriff said.
"Guess we found Parrish" Selene said laughing softly.
Stiles was relieved as much as he like Parrish he'd rather have him fight the Beast than Selene. They made it to the hospital just ahead of the cops. The boys jumped when the Sheriff cocked his gun behind them before holding his finger to his lips shushing them.
Growls and snarls could be heard in the building.
"Fourth flood" Scott said.
"Sheriff you're gonna need a fire extinguisher Hellhound's up there too" Selene said heading for the stairs.
Selene was out in front with her claws out his dad was next with his gun then Stiles and Scott at the back. The fourth floor was trashed paper on the floor small fires everywhere.
Selene flung out her arms claws retracted holding everyone back just as the fiery body of Parrish flew through the air into the wall. He was covered in ash scratches and blood. Selene quickly rounder the corner only to growl in frustration.
"Damn it. He's gone" she said.
Stiles' dad went over to crouch by Parrish.
"Parrish? You okay? Deputy!" the Sheriff yelled when he got no response from Parrish.
Parrish jerked like he was coming out of a trance. Selene and Scott were looking around with Stiles behind them. On the floor were the Beast's bloody paw prints. They followed them only to see them turn into bloody shoe prints.
Stiles' dad took photos and got Parrish out of there while Stiles Selene and Scott went to see Deaton.
"What I'm about to show you isn't supposed to exist. This is the only surviving evidence of Dr. Valack's time as Chief Medical Officer of Eichen House. To call it human experimentation would be charitable" Deaton said as he placed picture after picture of dead supernatural creatures on the table.
"A Banshee. She died screaming" Deaton told Scott when he picked up a photo.
"So he drilled holes into their heads? All of them?" Stiles asked.
"That's the experimentation part. He did it to Werewolves, Banshees, Wendigos any creature he could get his hands on. And Valack found that trepanation would initially heighten their powers but to levels that couldn't be contained."
"So he wants to make Lydia more powerful" Scott said.
"Yeah except she's going to end up like them" Stiles said indicating the photos.
"Worse actually" Deaton said.
"Of course it is" Selene said.
"Lydia's abilities were already pretty exceptional to begin with. Putting a hole in her head will be like causing a leak in a nuclear reactor. She'll hear everything every death every dying scream all at once."
"That's going to kill her" Scott said.
"Not only that… her own dying scream could be so powerful that it might kill everyone around her as well."
"We need to talk to my dad" Stiles said turning to go.
Selene grabbed the back of both Stiles and Scott's shirts.
"Sleep first a minimum of 5 hours then we'll talk to your dad" Selene said.
"But we need…" Stiles started only to stop seeing the look in Selene's eyes.
"Sleep we need sleep" he finished.
Once at home Stiles and Selene curled up and fell asleep. They were up and at the station 7 hours later.
"I'm doing everything I can but her mom is her legal guardian. She's the only person who can check her out of Eichen House" his dad said closing the door to his office.
"Can't we get a court order or something?" Stiles asked.
"Technically trepanation is still considered a medical procedure. A judge would have to declare Natalie unfit which isn't likely. It could all take months."
"So you're saying there's nothing we can do?"
"I'm saying there's nothing we can do… legally."
Selene grinned and slowly let get claws out.
"And what about illegally?"
The Sheriff handed over everything he had on Eichen House. They quickly went to Scotts to finalize a plan.
"There's four steps. We get into Eichen we get into the closed unit we get Lydia we get out" Stiles said when everyone arrived.
"And we have to do all of this while getting past orderlies, guards, electric door locks, and a Mountain Ash barrier" Scott said.
"You have a plan for all of that?" Kira asked.
"I stole this last night off an orderly. But it's useless cause they reset the codes each night" Stiles said holding up the security card.
"So why did you take it?" Kira asked.
"I'm getting to that" Stiles said.
"The only way to get Lydia out of Eichen is to make that key card work again" Scott said.
"How are you going to do that?" Liam asked.
"We're getting to that okay listen" Stiles said.
"I pulled all the history off the key card. Two weeks ago there was a brown out and a security system reboot. During a reboot all of the key cards revert back to a default code. So if we trigger a reboot…" Stiles explained.
"The card goes back to the default code. It works again" Liam said.
"How are we going to cause a brownout?" Kira asked.
"That's your part. You're going to draw power from the main line. But only enough to cause a brownout" Scott told her.
"Not a blackout. Do that and you send Eichen into lockdown which would be bad very very bad" Stiles said.
"There's an electrical room behind the reception counter. The main power line goes into two breakers that run power to all of Eichen" Scott said.
"Okay slightly problem. I don't know how to do that" Kira freaked.
"That's okay you have time to practice" Scott reassured her.
"Let's say all this goes perfectly. How does a brownout get us into the closed unit of Eichen?" Malia asked.
"The system takes 5 minutes to reboot. In that 5 minutes all the alarms will be turned off the key card should work" Stiles said.
"Liam you and I will get Stiles and Selene, who is saving all her energy just in case, to the gate of the closed unit" Scott said.
"But after that we have to go on our own you guys can't get past the Mountain Ash barrier" Selene said.
"And when we're all gone all anyone's going to think is that there was a reboot of the security system caused by a brownout" Scott finished.
"Uh any questions?" Stiles asked.
"How do we get into Eichen House in the first place?"
"What's our worst case scenario?"
"What if I can't do it?" Liam, Malia, and Kira all asked at once.
"Okay admittedly a lot could go wrong" Stiles said.
"Everything could go wrong" Liam said.
"Then I'm the backup plan. If it goes wrong I shift distract everyone and you guys get Lydia out of there preferably before I'm killed tossed in a cell and become Valack's newest prized possession" Selene said.
"That's never going to happened" Stiles said holding her close.
"Guys if we don't do this we lose Lydia. She's going to die in there tonight. And she might take a lot of innocent people with her" Scott said giving Selene and Stiles a nod of thanks.
They split up Kira and Malia going to the high school and Scott and Liam to the hospital. Stiles and Selene went to the station.
"Wait Stiles just wait" Selene said taking his arm scared.
"What?"
"What if this doesn't work?"
"No matter what you're not going into a cell" Stiles squeezed her hand.
"How do you know that? What if things go wrong and I'm put in a cell only worse you're in one a crossed from me?"
Stiles leaned over and kissed her his hand on the back of her neck pulling her close.
"I love you. You're never going into a cell and you're never going to lose me" Stiles said.
Selene took a deep breath and nodded.
They walked into the station and went to find Parrish.
