completing the pack

|cafeteria - the next day|

Scott, Lydia and Allison are sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch together.

"We really need to find out who else Derek is gonna turn, otherwise we might be up to our asses in little beta's." Scott scoffs, poking at his food.

"beta?" Lydia asks.

"Yeah, there is a clear chain of command in a pack, alpha's are the leaders and beta's are submissive to them. Also there are Omega's which are stray wolves without a pack. I guess you'd count me as a weird ass Alpha and Omega mix." Scott explains to his girlfriend.

"So Erica is with Derek too right?" Allison asks Scott.

"Yeah, I tried to get her to blab about the next beta but she didn't tell me anything sadly, but she's definitely with Derek." Scott replies.

"All this talk about werewolves is stressing me out, why can't we just let them do their stuff and get them to leave us alone?" Lydia complains.

"That would get a lot of innocent people hurt, much like you got attacked by Peter, I have to try and stop that from happening again." Scott replies.

"Don't you get what's going on? My grandfather arriving, Derek recruiting Isaac and Erica. It's like battle lines are being drawn." Allison tells them.

"And we're caught right in the middle." Scott sighs.

"Just don't get yourself killed sweetie OK?, otherwise you're gonna be in a lot of trouble." Lydia tells Scott.

"I'll do my best." Scott says, just as Stiles arrives and goes over to Scott after giving Allison a quick kiss. "Hey Scott, do you see that?" Stiles asks him pointing at an empty table across from them.

"What it's an empty table." Scott replies.

"Yeah, but whose empty table?" Stiles asks him.

"Boyd." Scott realizes.

"Bye Lydia, remember, call me if you see or hear anything fishy." Scott manages to tell her before Stiles drags Scott out of the cafeteria telling the two girls "Sorry lady's we have to go."

|hallway|

"I'll go to the ice track to see if he's there and if he's not at home you call me got it?" Scott instructs Stiles.

"Hah." Stiles sighs and stops.

"What?" Scott asks.

"You know maybe we should let him? It's Boyd you know and you said Derek's giving them a choice right?" Stiles says.

"We can't." Scott says decisively and gets Stiles to move again.

"You gotta admit, Erica looks pretty good. You know the word sensational comes to mind." Stiles argues.

"How good do you thing she's gonna look with a wolfsbane bullet in her head?" Scott counters.

"Alright, all I'm saying maybe this one isn't totally your responsibility." Stiles says.

"They are, I know this is gonna get out of control which makes me responsible." Scott argues.

"Alright, I'm with you and I also gotta say this newfound heroism is making me very attracted to you. No seriously, you wanna try making out for a second? Just to see how it feels." Stiles jokes.

"I'm sure both of our girlfriends would just be delighted to hear we've been making out." Scott laughs sarcastically and shoves Stiles away.

|after school – Hale house|

Jackson goes up to the door and starts talking, knowing Derek can hear him if he's there.

"Derek, I know you can hear me and I wanna know what I'm supposed to do now? You told me there would be a cure." Jackson says upset and barges through the door only to be treated to the sight of two guns aimed at him.

"Holy.." Jackson says.

"Wait." Chris Argent orders his hunters.

"What happened to him?" Jackson asks.

"That's a good question, I have one too, what are you doing here Jackson?" Chris asks.

"Nothing, well Nothing." Jackson stammers and Chris leads him outside telling him "I hope you're not pursuing things you shouldn't be otherwise I'd be forced to pursue you."

"I'm just looking for Derek because of a cure, he told me there might be one." Jackson whispers so the other hunters don't hear him.

"I'm sorry, but I think you'll get the short straw on that one but as long as you stay under the radar I don't have to kill you, which is good news right?" Chris says and brings Jackson out of the house.

|Boyd's house|

Stiles pulls up to Boyd's house and starts to knock on his door and stare through the window, looking for Boyd, when he turns around and Erica is standing right behind him.

"Oh, wow." Stiles says jumpily, surprised by her.

"What are you doing here Stiles?" Erica asks chuckling.

"Uhhm, nothing, just looking for Boyd." Stiles says nervously.

"You know what you're doing that is kind of funny? You're only looking in my eyes." Erica tells him.

"That's funny?" Stiles asks.

"Yeah, because it's that kind of look where you are trying not to look anywhere other than my eyes, but you want to don't you? You want to take a nice hard, long look." Erica challenges him, getting even closer to him.

"Not really no, I have a girlfriend and all." Stiles says awkwardly.

"Oh so it's just my eyes?" Erica asks.

"Yes, you have beautiful eyes." Stiles tells her.

"I have beautiful everything." Erica replies.

"And a newfound self confidence, congratulations Erica, I should be going." Stiles adds.

"You're not going anywhere." Erica growls at him easily stopping him from moving.

"Why not?" Stiles chokes out.

"You're having car trouble." Erica tells him, holding up a part she ripped out of his Jeep.

|that evening – animal clinic|

Deaton arrives in the clinic, having gotten a message from his security system and shuts off the beeping when he enters. He then goes to the back of the clinic and sees a ripped up man on his slab.

"I was wondering if you can give me a medical opinion on what killed this man." Chris asks him, stepping out from behind a door.

"I don't know if you saw the sign out there but this is just an animal clinic." Deaton replies.

"I'm aware of that, I'm also aware that you're not just a vet." Chris says, stepping out from the shadows, so that Deaton knows who he is.

|ice track|

Boyd is sitting on a machine, taking care of the ice rink as Scott walks up to him yelling

"Boyd, come on I just wanna talk, please. Did Derek tell you everything? And I don't just mean going out of control on the full moon, I mean everything!" Scott asks him.

"He told me about the hunters." Boyd replies, turning off the machine.

"And that's not enough for you to say no? Whatever you want there is other ways to get it." Scott asks surprised.

"I just not wanna eat lunch alone every day." Boyd tells him.

"That really hurt Scott. I mean if you're going to review me at least take a consensuses. Erica, how has live been for you since we met?" Derek asks Erica who is standing next to him with Isaac, all of them having arrived behind Scott.

"Hmm, in a word? Transformative." Erica says growling at Scott.

"Isaac?" Derek asks.

"Well, I'm a little bummed about being a fugitive but other than that I'm great." Isaac says.

"Hey, hold on this is not exactly a fair fight." Scott tells them.

"Then go home Scott." Derek tells him.

"I think you misunderstood. I meant a fair for you." Scott says, transforming into his standard were-eagle form and throws the now approaching Isaac across the rink into a window before mule kicking Erica, who has come up behind him.

Erica and Isaac both get up and attack Scott from both sides, shoving him away, making him transform his feet into talons as well. Scott then screeches at them, before charging at them, tackling Isaac to the ice floor, making a small crater, before Erica tries to get Scott off of Isaac but Scott only takes one of her arms and flings her over his shoulder, right next to Isaac, who was starting to get back up and tries to attack Scott again, but gets hit with a punch to the back, making him kneel forward before getting drop kicked over the head and into the ice.

"Don't you get it, he's not ding this for you. He's only doing it to add to his own power, it's all about him. You may feel like he's giving you some kind of gift, but all he's done is turning you into a bunch of guard dogs." Scott yells at them, before grabbing them by their collars and sliding them across the rink over to Derek.

"It's true, it is about power." Derek says and walks over to Scott calmly, transforming along the way.

"Derek, we don't have to be enemies, just stop getting other people involved." Scott tells him.

"Too late Scott." Derek growls and slashes his side twice, before Scott moves out of the way and rears his Talons at Derek, swinging at him, but Derek manages to dodge the attack at the last second and goes after Scott, trying to headbutt him but Scott scoots to the side and uses his Clawed foot to stab Derek in the leg, causing him to scream out angrily, before grabbing Scott's ankle and slamming him into the ground.

Derek then walks back over to Isaac and Erica while Boyd gets off the machine.

"Don't, you don't want to be like them." Scott pleads to him, still lying on the ground with a small trail of blood coming from his mouth.

"You're right, I wanna be like you." Boyd tells him confidently before joining Derek and the others while Scott just sighs "I was too late."

after Derek and the others are gone, Scott gets up and looks at his wound, which is healing unusually slow and decides to go to the animal clinic to get some supplies. When he arrives at the clinic he's looking at his wound asking himself out loud, why is it healing so slow?"

"Because it's from another Alpha, I think we should have that talk now." Deaton tells him, standing next to the corpse Chris brought over, making Scott look at him shocked.
