on trying new things

[bluejeep]

Hey, so I know you are a little bit overwhelmed right now with all these new things - and by all I mean just switching over to a new method of doing things - but try to calm down, okay? I don't want to have to live inside a head that is constantly exploding. It's no bueno.

We both know I'm freaking out enough for the both of us.

Just take it easy. It's not like I have things I want to be doing. Like working on my lacrosse game. Or my Lydia game No, that's over now.

Whatever.

Your lacrosse game's not too bad.

[bluejeep]

Thanks Lydia.

[A pause. He's uncertain how to proceed, compliments aren't something he is used to hearing from her.]

I was glad you could make it.

[secretgenius]

Thank you. I'm glad we made it in time to help Jackson.

[bluejeep]

Looks like he'll finally have everything he's ever wanted.

[secretgenius]

I think he might still be a little freaked by everything that's happened.

[bluejeep]

He made his choice. I guess he'll learn to live with it.

[He blinks. This topic isn't one he is comfortable with. Jackson's feelings aren't high on his list of concerns.]

How are you handling it?

[secretgenius]

Me? Oh, I'm resilient. Can you do me a favor, though, Stiles?

[bluejeep]

[Surprise shows clearly on his face.]

Does it involve bodily harm on my part?

[secretgenius]

[Gives him a weird look.] No.

[bluejeep]

What is it, Lydia?

[secretgenius]

Next time a mythological species is running around town and attacking people, like, me? TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.

[bluejeep]

Oh. [He swallows, guilt obvious on his face.]

Yeah. I can do that. [ A pause.] I thought I was protecting you.

[secretgenius]

By lying to me?

[bluejeep]

By keeping you as far removed as I could manage.

[secretgenius]

I thought I was going insane.

[bluejeep]

How was I supposed to know that? You seemed fine!

[He tugs at his collar, suddenly hot.]

Or, not... Not supernaturally messed up.

[secretgenius]

You didn't think that maybe the time I went missing for two days with no memory right after I got attacked by a werewolf might've been something supernatural? You know, between you and Scott, I really thought you were the brains of the team.

[bluejeep]

The bite kills or turns. You didn't do either. I thought that meant that you were fine. And just so you know, I didn't sleep the entire time you were missing.

Not that you care.

[secretgenius]

Don't try and guilt trip me, Stilinski. I resurrected a creepy stalker werewolf because you people left me out of the loop!

[bluejeep]

Look, I'm sorry. I should have told you. I know that now.

[Hangs his head.]

... how did you bring him back?

[secretgenius]

Full moon, blood of the guy who killed him, that sort of thing. I've got all my notes at home. Why, you want to resurrect someone?

[bluejeep]

Oh, just all the people that your boyfriend murdered.

[He stops short. He shouldn't have said it. ]

[secretgenius]

[She crosses her arms across her chest and narrows her eyes.] He wasn't in control of himself.

[bluejeep]

Yeah, but they're still dead.

[secretgenius]

Do you think Jackson should be dead, too?
