On finding a new home

[wolfteen]

Okay. Look.

Are you serious about this? Sending me to a city full of monsters where there's no sunlight ever? No, I don't think I'll fit in. That's not even funny. Do you think that's funny? Because it's not, and I have things to do. I'm busy. And you're sending me there without Stiles, how well do you think that's gonna work out?

...

Wait. What do you mean, Jackson's gonna be there with Allison?

On second thought, yeah. Okay. We should probably go, like, now? Why aren't you ready yet, let's do this!

[ Reaches out to lace her fingers with his, squeezing his hand. ]

Don't worry.

I'll be there with you.

[wolfteen]

[ Oh Allison. He squeezes her fingers too, and smiles very slightly. ]

That's the part I'm happy about. At least we'll be together.

[braces]

[ It's okay. She's smiling enough for the both of them. ]

I won't let them separate us.

[wolfteen]

[ He moves closer to her. ] Good. Me too. [ Beat. ] I mean, I won't...either. [ Awkward smile. ] I like my life better when you're in it, Allison.

[braces]

[ She laughs a little and leans on his arm. ] I'm not going anywhere. Ever.

[wolfteen]

[ God she's being adorable and this is why he loves her. He holds her. ]

I hope not. Something tells me it won't be that easy.

[hardchoices]

[ Chris is just going to stand here and give you a very disapproving look, Scott.

Enjoy that. ]

[wolfteen]

[ UH.

Crap. ]

Hey, uh. Mr Argent. [ We don't have a problem here, right? Of course not, why would there be a problem. ] Nice, nice seeing you here. [ Oh God. ]

[hardchoices]

[ There's a huge problem, actually; he really doesn't like the idea of Scott and Allison being somewhere together where he can't keep an eye on them. ]

I wish I could say the same, Scott.

[wolfteen]

[ Yeah, he's screwed. ]

I'm gonna take care of her, I swear. [ Because saying that will definitely help his case here. ]

[hardchoices]

Actually, I'd prefer it if you didn't go anywhere near her. [ Not that he'll believe Scott is he says he'll do that. ] She can take care of herself. [ Even if she's too goddamn young, he knows she's capable of greatness. ]

[adoptalizard]

Feel free to stay gone. I'll make sure she's safe.

[wolfteen]

Yeah, I'll bet you'd love that. No deal. Besides, I heard you've already been asking for me.

[adoptalizard]

[ oh son of a-- ] Only because I had it in mind to beat your head in when I thought it was all your fault I showed up there.

[wolfteen]

Really? [ Sounding thoughtful. ] That's not what I heard. Should I be glad I'm the first person you think of when you skip to another dimension? Cause it's sweet, but Lydia would be pissed.

[neverfrowns]

Here's an idea. None of us go.

[wolfteen]

[ Eyeing her. ] You know Jackson's already there, right?

[neverfrowns]

[Lydia tosses her hair over her shoulder and gives her best withering look.]

If Jackson had any sense, he wouldn't have got sent there to begin with.

[Implying that this is his own fault. She does care but she won't show anyone that she does.]

[wolfteen]

[ He can't help smiling. ]

Oh come on, Lydia, we both know he doesn't have any sense. He's proud of not having any sense.

[neverfrowns]

[There is a reluctant half smile.]

I thought that was how Stiles described you.

[uglier]

Thanks to me, you've been in the city for awhile now. You're just kind of dead. I'm mourning your death. Your pal Jackson up there is buying every second of it.

[wolfteen]

[ Wait what who is this and also what? ]

Why would you be...?

Who are you?!

[uglier]

Your new bff.

[wolfteen]

Uh...

Don't take this personally, or anything, but I don't think you're my type.

[uglier]

That's so insanely rude, I don't even know where to begin.

You wound me.
