You thought I was just Holt's lackey. And you thought I was just Jake's girlfriend. Well, I'm my own person, capable of making my own decisions, and I decided to humiliate you both.
Sorry that it took so long to update. I hope you like part 2 of The Wolves of War.
Previously on teen wolf….
Stiles: (pulls up in his Jeep) You didn't think you would do this without me?
Derek: (stands next to the Jeep) Without us?
Braeden: I brought backup.
Kira: Hi everyone!
Derek: Kate's back.
Kate: Talking about me?
Gerard: Scott isn't going to leave any of his pack members behind. He’ll try to save them all. His pack is strong, but separate them and it leaves them all vulnerable.
Scott: Everyone know their assignments? We are going to win this. Showtime!
Scene 1
Location: Beacon Hills Preserve
The episode starts with Scott running through the woods. He looks behind him and sees a hunter chasing him. He runs faster. Another hunter appears in front of him. He growls and jumps over the hunter and makes his getaway. He hides behind a tree to catch his breath. An arrow comes out of nowhere and nearly hits Scott. He looks up to see Monroe walking towards him.
Monroe: (raising her crossbow) I've been waiting a long time for this.
Scott: It doesn't have to be this way.
Monroe: Yes, it does. (Smirks) Any last words?
Man’s voice: I have a few.
Monroe slowly turns around and sees coach Finstock aiming a gun.
Finstock: I won't hesitate, Bitch!
Theme song.
Monroe: He's dangerous. You should be aiming that at him.
Finstock: McCall? He can't even hurt a fly. Literally. I once watched him try to kill a fly for ten minutes. It was mocking him. It was one of the most pitiful things I ever seen. Actually, I got it on video.
Finstock takes out his phone.
Scott: Coach, now's not the time and besides that was Stiles.
Finstock: It was? I always confused you two.
Scott: How?
Finstock: All you students look the same.
Monroe starts aiming the crossbow back at Scott. Finstock grabs a small rock and hits Monroe in the back of head. She collapses.
Finstock: That's what you get for stealing my parking spot. (Starts walking away) That spot was my last source of happiness.
Scott: (kneels down to check her pulse) She's still alive.
Finstock: (screams) That sucks! Let's go!
Scott: We can't just leave her!
Finstock: You don't have a choice. (Points behind Scott) Look!
Scott turns around and watches as hunters start running towards them shooting arrows at his direction. He and Finstock starts running.
Finstock: Hey, wait up! I'm not as fast as you.
Scott runs back, picks up Finstock and starts running again.
Scene 2
Location: Eichen House
Three deputies are watching Parrish. Parrish is locked in a freezing room and is in the fetal position trying to keep himself from freezing.
Deputy 1: How long has he been in there?
Deputy 2: (looks at his watch) About a hour.
Deputy 3: He should be dead by now.
Sheriff Stilinski walks in.
Stilinski: It takes a whole lot to kill a hellhound.
Deputy 1: A hell-what?
Stilinski: A hellhound.
Deputy 2: I don't care what he is, we are going to kill him.
Stilinski: I'm ordering you to release Parrish.
Deputy 3: Why do you want to save him? He's a monster.
Stilinski: The only monsters I see are the ones who killed innocent people just because they are different. Parrish is a person and the best deputy I got. Now if you aren't going to release him, move out of my way.
Deputy 1: We can't do that.
Stilinski: Stand down deputy! I'm not going to ask again!
Deputy 2: What are you going to do if we don't? It's three vs one.
Deputy 3: And fighting us would be bad for your health. You might break a hip.
Stilinski: A old joke. Very original. Let me counter that with this.
Stilinski headbutts D3 and slams him against the wall. D2 jumps on Stilinski and starts punching him. Stilinski elbows D2 in the face. D1 starts choking Stilinski. Stilinski's face starts turning red. He knees D1 and slams his head against D2. All three deputies are lying on the floor. Stilinski grabs the keys from D1's pocket.
Stilinski: Don't get up boys. You don't want me to kick your ass again.
Deputy 1: You're not going to get away with this.
Stilinski ignores them and unlocks the door. He walks in the room and helps Parrish up. Parrish puts one arm over Stilinski's shoulder. They both stumbled, but they keep walking. Stilinski turns around to face the deputies.
Stilinski: Oh, and by the way, don't bother showing up tomorrow. You're fired. Have a good night.
The deputies groaned. Stilinski and Parrish head towards the exit when they bump into Braeden.
Braeden: Not bad for a old guy.
Stilinski: Braeden, what are you doing here?
Braeden: Scott sent me to assist you with rescuing Parrish. But when I arrived, it seem like you had it covered, so I just stayed back. I'm impressed.
Stilinski: Thank you. I'm going to feel the pain tomorrow.
Braeden: If you don't need me anymore, my services are needed at the hospital.
Stilinski: Parrish and I can rescue agent McCall.
Braeden: Good luck!
Stilinski: You too!
Braeden smiles and leaves.
Parrish: Thanks for rescuing me sheriff.
Stilinski: Don't mention it.
Scene 3
Location: Armory
Lydia and Stiles arrive at the armory. Stiles is holding his bat. Lydia is holding a map of the armory. She puts it on the floor and studies it. Stiles looks around the corner and sees a group of hunters. He rushes back to Lydia.
Stiles: Do you know where Jackson is?
Lydia: Yes. We have to go down that hallway.
Lydia points to the direction where the hunters are.
Stiles: Yeah, that's going to be a problem.
Lydia: Why?
Stiles: (points) That's why.
The hunters appear.
Lydia: Babe, cover your ears.
Stiles covers his ears while Lydia screams. Using her Banshee scream, she focuses the scream into a sound wave and sends the hunters flying.
Lydia: Stiles, go rescue Jackson. I'll take care of them.
Stiles: Are you sure?
Lydia: Yes, now go!
Stiles kisses Lydia and sneak past the injured hunters. He finds the room that Jackson is being held captive. He opens the door and finds Jackson tied up.
Stiles: What's up Jackass, sorry I mean Jackson. I would shake your hand, but you seem tied up at the moment and I don't really want to.
Jackson: Get me out of here!
Stiles: That's rude, I didn't hear a please.
Jackson: Please get me out of here or I'll beat your ass.
Stiles: Yeah, you're not really making me want to help you.
Stiles sits next to Jackson and takes out his phone.
Stiles: So, I saw a bunch of snakes the other day and I took a picture.
Stiles shows the picture to Jackson.
Jackson: Why are you showing me this?
Stiles: Just wondering if this was a family reunion of yours.
Jackson: Screw you Stilinski.
Stiles: No thanks. You're not my type. But Danny on the other hand.
Jackson: What?
Stiles: What? (scratches the back of his head) This got really awkward.
Jackson: Your whole life is awkward.
Stiles: True.
Stiles unties Jackson. They hear a loud crash at the door.
Stiles: LYDIA!!

Kira: Ok, but who's gonna save us?
10 hunters with guns surround Kira and Malia.
Malia: (shaking her head) I should had gone to France.
Commercial break.

Lydia: Yes. I have something for you.
Lydia slaps Jackson.
Stiles: (proudly smiles) That's my girl.
Scene 6
Location: Abandoned house
Malia: I'm not wearing that.
Kira: You don't have a choice. It's the only thing we found in this house.
Malia: Then I'll stay naked. It's freeing.
Kira: Put it on.
Malia: I don't wear dresses. Especially pink frilly ones. Why couldn't you just picked up my clothes when I shift?
Kira: I was running for my life. Sorry.
Malia: Fine, give me it.
Kira hands her the dress and Malia puts it on. Kira takes out her phone and takes a picture.
Malia: Do you have to do that?
Kira: Yep.
Malia: Why were there so many hunters?
Kira: I have no idea.
Kira looks out the window and sees a person carrying another person.
Kira: (whispers) Malia, come here.
Malia: What is it?
Kira: Someone's coming. I don't think it's a hunter. But I can't see who it is.
Malia: It’s Scott!
Kira and Malia runs out the door. Scott puts Finstock down and runs to the girls. Scott hugs Kira and Malia.
Scott: (laughs) What are you wearing?
Malia: Shut up! It's all they had in that stupid house.
Scott: Where's Deaton? Is he safe?
Kira: He's still at the clinic. There were too many hunters.
Malia: We are still trying to figure out why.
Scott: Why would they need that many, unless-
Kira: Unlesz what?
Scott: They are looking for Belasko’s Talons!
Malia: But who would know about that?
Scene 7
Location: Beacon Hills Animal Clinic
Deaton is seen tied to a chair. Four hunters are guarding him. Kate walks in.
Kate: Move aside boys. I need to talk to him.
Hunter 1: We don't take orders from you. You might be the boss’s daughter but you're still one of them.
Kate: You're right and you shouldn't pissed me off.
She grabs the hunter by his neck and lifts him up. She snaps his neck and throws his body across the room.
Kate: Anyone else?
The hunters moved out of her way. She grabs a chair, places it in front of Deaton and sits down.
Kate: We need to have a little chat about Belasko’s talons.
Commercial break.
Kate: Where is it?
Deaton: I know nothing.
Kate: Now, now. We both know that's a lie.
Deaton: I'm telling you the truth. I don't know where it is?
Kate: Then you know someone who does. Tell me!
Deaton: I already told you! I don't know where it is or who has it.
Kate: Wrong answer.
She punches him in the face.
Kate: Try again.
Deaton: I don't know.
She punches him again. Deaton’s face becomes bloody.

Kate: Stop playing games. I know you have the talons and I have something precious to you. Deaton.
Scott: Let him go.
Kate: I'll be happy to, once I get what I want. You have ten minutes or he dies.

Scene 8
Location: Beacon Heights Police Station
Isaac: I didn't mean to steal that cab.
Cop: Yeah ok kid. You “accidentally” took it.
Isaac: Yes. I’m the victim in all this. The cab driver took me to the wrong place.
Cop: And you took his cab for revenge.
Isaac: I didn't take it. I borrowed it. I'm needed in Beacon Hills.
Cop: Tonight you're staying here.
Isaac: I'm sorry.
Cop: It's too late kid.
Isaac: I mean for this.
Isaac punches the cop and takes his keys. He drags the cop to a cell and locks it. He leaves the station and takes a cop car.
Isaac: (to himself) One night back in the US and I'm already a felon.
He starts driving and passes a donut shop.
Isaac: (to himself) No Isaac, you don't have time for doughnuts. You're already late and the pack needs you. But on the other hand, you know how useless you get when you're hungry. No, Isaac, that's just the hunger talking. Keep driving. But the hunger will stop talking once you eat. Fine, Isaac, you win.
He drives up to the shop and orders a box of doughnuts. He reaches for his wallet and realizes it's back at the station.
Isaac: Fuck!
The woman at the drive thru window hands the box to Isaac.
Isaac: Is there a discount for cops?
Woman: No. And you don't look like a cop.
Isaac: Um, I'm off duty.
Woman: Then, why are you driving the cop car?
Isaac: Mind your own business.
He drives off with the doughnuts.
Woman: (screams) You have to pay for those!
Isaac starts eating doughnuts while he's driving.
Isaac: (to himself) I'm definitely going to hell. But I don't care, these doughnuts are heavenly.

Location: Beacon Hills Preserve
Malia: We need to fight. We can't keep running from them. They won't stop.
Scott: But we can't kill them. They are humans.
Malia: Scott, we don't have a choice. It's either us or them. They made their choice when they came after us. Kira, what do you think?
Kira: I'm sorry Scott. But I agree with Malia.
Scott: I hate this but you might be right. Are you ready?
Kira and Malia nod.
Finstock: I have somewhere to be.
Scott and Malia shift. Kira takes out a sword. Electricity surround the sword. Finstock hides behind a tree. Scott, Malia and Kira charge at the hunters.
Scene 10
Location: Beacon Hills Memorial Hallway
Lights are flashing on and off. Hunters are taking over the floors. Melissa walks quietly and quickly to a empty room. She locks the door and turns off the lights. She hears footsteps by the door. A person on the other side of the door jiggles the door for couple seconds and then stops. They walk away. Melissa waits a couple minutes and then looks out the door. Someone covers her mouth and pushes her back into the room.
unpopular opinion: people don't appreciate Poe enough and often regulate him to being a single trait instead of a full character.
1000% agreed.
I feel like people either think he’s a relatively peripheral character like Wedge Antilles and therefore not Important™ -- or alternatively, he’s Slutty Disaster Gay™ and little else. *deep sigh*
The rookie pilot sits alone in the darkened mess. Her fingers shake ever so slightly against the cool steel table, and her tea is steadily growing cold next to her. You have to eat something, rookie, her stern squad leader had told her. You’ve just been through hell.
Yeah, she agrees. But she still can’t make her hands move towards the mug. She aches all over, and every time she closes her eyes all she can see are the steady, silent, bright pops of light against the blackness of space that meant another pilot gone, another friend lost. She thinks it might have been okay, had it not been for the comms ringing in her helmet.
“Hey,” comes a gentle voice from the opposite end of the mess, and the rookie picks up her head. Normally, just seeing The Poe Dameron, ace pilot and Black Squadron leader, poster boy of the Resistance - and maybe, admittedly, one of the reasons she joined in the first place - would have been enough to make her stomach flip with excited nerves. Now, though, she just stares dully across the room at him as he picks his way over to her. It strikes her as odd. He should be out celebrating the victory. Not here.
“Hey,” he says again, and his voice is low, his eyes sad. “Can I sit with you?”
She blinks and nods, and to her dull surprise, he sits next to her. He still smells like a cramped cockpit, like her - stale, recycled air, heat from the guns, sweat and nerves.
He’s silent for a moment, and then he speaks. “I’m so sorry.”
The rookie doesn’t move. She just closes her eyes, folds her hands in her lap.
“It’s brutal. It always is. Dogfights are just…” he sighs. “There’s a freedom that comes with flying a bird, but sometimes… sometimes, it comes with a price. And it’s one thing to say that, but the first time you get up there, first time you experience that price… It’s never easy. I’m so sorry, kid.”
His voice is low, and soft, and so kind, and without even realizing it, the rookie starts to cry. The tears drip off of her nose and land with a quiet splat in the thick fabric of her orange flightsuit and she shudders as she breathes out, “They’re all gone.”
Poe makes a sympathetic noise in the back of his throat, and when she looks up at him, a blurry mass of orange through the thick tears in her eyes, he looks like he might cry, too. He rubs her shoulder, the pressure comforting and soothing as he reminds her, “Yeah. But. You’re still here.”
She can’t help it - she buries her face in her hands and starts to sob, and next thing she knows, The Poe Dameron has pulled her into a tight hug, letting her head rest on his shoulder as he rubs her back, as he keeps murmuring in that soft, kind, gentle voice, and she’s reminded of her older brother. Poe lets her cry her heart out onto his shoulder, his grip never loosening. He keeps comforting her, keeps reminding her of her strength, that she survived, that she shouldn’t blame herself. For the first time since she touched down, she feels… safe.
She feels like she can make it through this.
When she finally moves away, still sniffling, Poe nods and flashes her a ghost of that famous smile. And now she’s remembering that Poe is almost always late to victory celebrations, and he always hovers near a rookie pilot with swollen eyes or shaking fingers. He always goes to the medbay after a fight. And once more she’s reminded of the brother that the First Order stole from her.
“Ah, no, your tea is cold,” he says, making a face at the mug. She laughs a little and wipes her eyes and nose on her flightsuit, and Poe smiles as if he’s relieved to hear the sound of her laugh. “Wait here. I’ll make another pot. And I’m making the good stuff this time.”
She nods, and a weight starts to dissolve from her shoulders, and she thinks that maybe, just maybe, everything will be okay.
