“Anybody else feeling claustrophobic in this place?”
“Honestly? Yes. I don’t know how some people have been down here for years.”
thcpariiah:
The witch felt the twin before he saw him. A nasty and festering guilt that didn’t belong to him making his stomach and chest ache – causing the corner of his lips to curl and his eyes to crinkle as he placed a hand on his stomach to try and sedate it. His door had been closed to try and offset unwanted visitors. And while he did want to see Stiles – his brother was company he did want – right at this moment in time, Stuart still wasn’t confident in his own flesh. Much less realizing completely how he should act. He had had the same issues around Allison; even if Allison had found ways to avoid the broken glass shards that cocooned themselves around him until he slashed everything in his wake. A low breath escaped him when Stiles spoke and the guilt hit him harder – once again, a by product of the other. “ – no,” he managed, voice hoarse before he was hefting himself up to a sitting position, using shaking biceps to cast his weight on with a wince that made his spine ache. “You can come in. Just ..-” he cleared his throat before finally looking over to the other. He looked better than he had when they had found him, but only so. Skin still decorated with yellows and currently paler than his twin. “Close the door behind you. Please. And –” he hesitated, ducking his head down and shaking it. “Before you even start – don’t. It was my choice and no one forced me into it.” Stiles’ guilt was almost overwhelming to his tired body.
Stiles hesitated a moment longer after Stuart told him he could come in, fingers drumming against the doorknob before he was stepping inside and closing the door softly behind him. His mouth opened to ask his brother if he was sure it was okay for him to stay for awhile, but then Stuart was continuing to speak, and Stiles looked back at him, swallowing harshly as he shook his head. “I know I didn’t force you, but you wouldn’t have done it if it wasn’t for me.” If Stiles hadn’t taken off his handicap, or if he had just turned himself in while he still had the chance, Stuart would never have been hurt.
Still, Stiles knew that he couldn’t have predicted this. Stuart was usually so unemotional, and Stiles hadn’t expected his twin to essentially sacrifice himself for him given the fact that they hadn’t known each other for very long. “You knew I was going to turn myself in. I should’ve just done it as soon as I found out they had my dad. Then you wouldn’t have gotten the chance. You wouldn’t have gotten hurt because of me.”

Stuart nodded to the other, relieved when he stepped back from the argumentative tone. “Yes,” he reassured him, “They didn’t hurt him.” Not like they did me. “He’s … worried, about you. And I don’t think he likes being cooped up in his house all day. But, he’s unhurt, and he’s safe.”
Stiles noticeably relaxed at the news that his father was unhurt, tense shoulders lowering along with his gaze. He knew that he needed to go Topside soon too, to have the conversation with his father had he’d been dreading since he’d met Stuart. His eyes flickered back up to rest on Stuart before he was asking, “How...how’d that go? Your talk? With my dad?” Our dad, but Stiles didn’t want to make this conversation any more uncomfortable than it already was.

“ He was going to know that it wasn’t you that took his place. He deserved an explanation – and I wanted to be the one that gave it. I didn’t want him to hear it from someone else. “ He didn’t need a lecturing from his brother – that was not where he wanted this conversation to go. He almost felt the need to point out that it wasn’t as bad as being a guinea pig for removing handicaps.
Stiles sighed, knowing that Stuart was right. Things had just been easier when he’d been able to ignore the fact that his father had been lying to him for twenty-two years. Now, at some point, they were going to have to have that conversation. “Is he okay?” Stiles asked, failing to keep the worry out of his voice as he looked at his brother.
thcpariiah:
“ – at his house. I had Hayden help me. “
“At his...” Stiles broke off, shaking his head. “You shouldn’t be going Topside right now. What if you get caught?”
@redisunsolved
“I met your father today.”
“...What? You did? Where?”
heartofatruealpha:
“Kara’s looking for people. You can’t go alone. Magic gives you an edge but you’re out of practice– we don’t need both of you captured. And I’d go with you right now but–” He wouldn’t be much help in a fight. “I’m not sure how helpful that would be either. Besides, you have a connection right?You know he’s alive.” Scott was assuming here but his other reasons seemed inadequate.
“Who’s going to stop me?” Stiles countered, though he knew that he wasn’t entirely serious. It would be reckless to go alone, especially for him. He wasn’t even sure yet if whoever had Stuart had figured out that he wasn’t Stiles. If he went alone and got caught, he could get his brother into even more trouble, and that was the last thing he wanted.
“I...I don’t know,” Stiles said softly, shaking his head and giving an honest shrug of his shoulders. “I don’t know how it works. I don’t know if it’s based on proximity, and that’s why I never felt it before, or if it got triggered when we finally met in person.” Still, Scott was probably right. Stiles was pretty sure that he would have felt something if Stuart had been killed, given the strong connection that the two had.
thcpariiah:
“No – I think his first thought was actually shapeshifter and not the more logical brother.”
“Well I guess that’s good?” If they got smart, however, Stiles was sure he would be questioned immediately, and that was the last thing he wanted.
heartofatruealpha:
“Very confusing…” If Stiles was confused,Scott wouldn’t get many questions answered tonight. He’d still ask them. “How are we at a point where coming back from the dead isn’t the part I’m suspicious of?” Scott sat on his bed.“I’m sure if he knew he had his reasons.If he didn’t, you know how he is…” He didn’t talk about painful things like the last years of his wife’s life. “…Maybe he was going to tell you but it was hard and then he didn’t want to pile more on top of everything else.”
Stiles rolled his eyes. Scott suspected he wanted him to get on board the accepting wagon, but if Stiles couldn’t be the objective one than Scott needed to be. “The Argents lied to Allison for years. I lied to my dad until this–” Scott gestured towards his shock collar. “How did he convince you? Just the papers or did he say something only the Pariah would know?” There had to be something else. Scott would give whoever it was the benefit of the doubt, but that didn’t mean he trusted it. “We could use good news. I hope it’s true and I get why you’re excited. I just…we need to be careful too. What if someone saw the two of you?”
“I’m twenty-two years old!” Stiles burst out before immediately sending an apologetic look Scott’s way, knowing none of this was his fault. “I don’t care if it was too hard. I was born a twin. I deserved to know that.” Their lives had been anything but easy, but that didn’t excuse his father from keeping such a big thing from him for so long. If he hadn’t told him by now, he was never going to do it.
“That’s not the same thing, and you know it. Can’t you just...trust me on this, Scott? I have a bad feeling about everyone new that comes into the picture...I don’t feel that with him. I trust him.” It wasn’t something that Stiles could easily explain, and he wracked his brain for some proof before remembering the weird connection he’d felt as soon as they’d been in the same room together. “Like...Okay, this is gonna sound stupid,” he prefaced, pausing for a moment before he was trying to explain. “When I met him, I felt this...connection. A sort of draw toward him. I don’t know if it’s because we're both supernatural, but it was really weird.”
”I’m not excited,” Stiles said, though he realized immediately that it was a lie. For so long, his only family had been his dad, and while he loved the sheriff, he was excited about the possibility of having a brother to connect with (even if he and Stuart were polar opposites, and Stiles wasn’t sure he was ever going to get the other to open up to him. “We met in the Underground, don’t worry. No one was going to see us.
thcblairwitch:
“We don’t even have a jumping off point as to where they’re holding him. Do you have access to any of your brother’s files on his computer?”
“...No. It won’t turn on at all.” Stiles was nowhere near as technologically savvy as his brother, and Stuart had been deliberate in whatever he had done to his computer to stop anyone from accessing it.

“I’d also be careful with who you let hear you call anything the government does stupid,” she noted with a small tip of her head; a smirk dancing across the corner of her lips. “I would just be a little more careful if I were you, Stiles, in general. You have a habit of sticking your nose into things too much – and, balancing Topside and the Underground – you can’t have both worlds.”
“Why, you gonna turn me in for treason?” he asked, feeling more irritated as she smirked back at him. He was careful: or, as careful as he could be as someone so closely involved with the rebellion. Registering, pretending to be a law-abiding citizen...that was all just a ruse for now. At the end of the day, he didn’t agree with the government's laws, and he knew that one day he would have to choose. The choice was an easy one, but right now, being able to easily navigate between both Topside and Underground was working in his favor, and he was going to continue to do just that.

❛ We’re going to get him back. Maybe not everyone is going to help but I will and I know Allison will too. He’s going to be okay, I promise. ❜ Bold words that even Lydia was uncertain she herself could believe in though she had to; for Stiles.
“You don’t know that Lydia,” Stiles pointed out softly, unable to keep the worry out of his voice. “And if anything happens to him, it’s on me. It was supposed to be me in that jail cell.”

It didn’t take Aleksander long to piece together the information. In fact, it took him approximately one minute and thirty-seven seconds to think through his known data on Stiles Stilinski, remember the boy that he met the other day, and realize that the two weren’t the same. For one, there was a drastic change in how the held himself. The boy he had met before didn’t seem to have this nervous tick that was notorious for Stiles. Aleksander wasn’t even sure the boy himself noticed it anymore, the way his fingers danced carelessly against his jeans, or the way his limbs flailed– exaggerating every movement despite the fact that he had full control of his body.
His first thought would be shapeshifter, but he knew that couldn’t be. Nevermind the fact that there was a distinct change in the way their moles arranged themselves over their arms and face, he had the information to know that Stiles had been born as a twin. Sure, that twin was supposed to be dead, but Aleksander knew that the government made mistakes when it came to information like this. To assess the situation, the most logical answer was that this other boy was Stiles’ twin.
“And yet here we are,” he said simply. His words would likely confuse, though he had ultimately no doubt about his convictions, he had to be sure. “Have we met before?” It was a stupid question, Aleksander remembered everyone that he ever met, and yet it answer all of his questions for the mean time.
Stiles could practically feel the man thinking, trying to figure him out, and he already knew that he had fucked up. How, he wasn’t sure, but he was starting to feel incredibly uncomfortable, his anxiety growing and his nervous ticks becoming even more apparent as they continued to study each other.
His blood ran cold at the man’s question, the gears in his own mind working now as he realized that it was entirely possible that he had previously run into Stuart, thinking him to be Stiles. He had always known that this would be a possibility with his twin coming Topside so often, but he had hoped that with the false handicap, no one would pick up on their differences in mannerisms. Of course, he wasn’t even sure that that was what was going on, and he squinted slightly at the man. A vague, dismissive answer would be safest, but Stiles decided to take a chance and then try to get out of here.
“We have,” he asserted with a straight face. “Don’t you remember?”
poweroutfoxed:
“Stiles, calm down. Of course, we have to get him back. But panicking isn’t the answer. Do you have any ideas?”
“If I had an idea, I’d already be out there!”
Stuart was restless and his tired body didn’t want to cooperate. He felt the need to move; to get up and do things. But his body was sore and weary and he knew he just needed to rest. Despite that, he couldn’t force sleep upon himself after waking that morning in his own bed – unsure of how long he had been unconscious, as he vaguely remembered losing consciousness against the beta that carried him, and it was clear that one of the nurses in the infirmary had already seen to him as he was cleaned up and had been in clothes that wasn’t his own. From there, he had gone and checked on Allison – the blurs of his memory of the event making remember that she was hurt. She had been hurt when she had come on her own to try and get him. Since, Stuart had returned to his room – kicked out by the infirmary nurse – and had his door shut. That, however, didn’t seem to stop someone from entering. The witch was in no shape - nor did he have any desire - to interact with anyone outside of maybe his brother. Flesh on the wrong end of porcelain, and bruises still curling themselves around his muscles. “Knocking is an invention that’s been around for decades. Maybe you should try it.”
Stiles had lingered while Stuart was getting fixed up in the infirmary, needing to see for himself that his twin was going to be okay, but the witch had still been unconscious while he’d been there. He’d tossed and turned all night, worried about both his twin and Allison, and he had waited as long as he could this morning after he’d woken up, not wanting to disturb Stuart too early, but needing to make sure that he was, in the most simple sense of the word, okay.
Aware that the other might still be sleeping, Stiles forewent knocking, instead just opening the door gently. Stuart was awake, though he hadn’t looked his way, and Stiles paused in the doorway. Had they not been directed at him, the druid might even have smiled at the sarcastic quip that fell from his lips, but instead, his feeling of discomfort grew. Already guilty eyes fell as a fresh wave of remorse hit him, Stiles still feeling very much at fault for what had happened. If he had just been able to hide his emotions a little better, if he hadn’t told Stuart of his plans to turn himself over to the government, this wouldn’t have happened.
“I’ve...never been very good at knocking,” Stiles admitted, hovering outside of the doorway as though unable to cross. “I can go, I...I’m sure you’re tired.” I’m sorry.
heartofatruealpha:
“We will. We just have to think this through.We can’t just punch the government and demand they give him back.”
“What if we don’t? What if they kill him while we’re sitting around on our asses? If we don’t come up with something soon, I’m gonna go look for him myself.”
