"you okay?" liam questioned.

he was leaning on the kitchen counter as moonee scavenged the cupboards for something quick to eat.

"fine, dunbar." she deadpanned, "hungry."

"right." liam nodded, "did we... get along today?"

"no, we didn't." moonee shook her head as she pulled out a packet of crackers.

"when we were by the lockers." he elaborated.

"what, being drenched with gasoline?" moonee chuckled, "i was drunk, liam. we were all drugged."

"yeah, you're right." liam nodded, nervously.

"you tell anyone what happened, i will clip your werewolf nails off and-" she stopped.

"and?"

"i don't know, dude." moonee groaned, "i'm exhausted and i need to shower. the ending is up to you."

"liam!" scott called from the main room.

"your alpha's calling." moonee told him as she walked away, "owoooo!"

"we don't sound like that!" scott shouted.

"you did, a couple years back when you were trying to roar at peter." moonee laughed loudly to herself, "derek said you sounded like a cat."

"hey-"

moonee chuckled and quickly ran up the stairs, into her bathroom. liam watched her leave with a cheesy grin on his face, he realised she was funny too.

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

moonee entered the animal clinic a couple of moments after her brother did, allowing him and his girlfriend to reunite. scott wouldn't let her leave the house until she had eaten dry bread, drank water and washed the gasoline off herself.

she had found a pile of clean towels and took one to dry her shower-wet hair. moonee entered the main room to see satomi's pack gathered together.

"i know who scott mccall is." satomi smiled, "moonee mccall too."

moonee raised her eyebrow, she didn't recognise her from anywhere, but it seemed as if she knew her.

"are we safe here?" brett's younger sister, lorilee talbot, questioned.

"we're gonna need help." scott turned to his girlfriend, "a lot of help."

"i can think of a few people we can call." a now sober but hungover moonee spoke up.

"no need for calling." scott shook his head.

he and kira then left the room to discuss where they would take the back. moonee was left to watch the pack and check on every one of them.

she moved around the room and checked everyone's face and arms, if they let her. a few were reluctant to. moonee moved over to brett and sat on the metal table.

"so you're the famous elementum?" brett asked her as she scanned his arms for any injuries.

"famous?" she raised her eyebrow.

"everyone here has heard the stories about you." lori explained.

"what about?" moonee quizzed.

"how you took on two alphas from the alpha pack and won." a voice spoke out.

"or how you knocked the darach unconscious."

"how you tricked a nogistune."

"and who exactly tells these stories?" moonee laughed.

brett shrugged, "word gets around."

"well, the only reason i won against those two alphas was because they were already weak. the darach was knocked unconscious by accident and i was only able to trick the nogistune because he was more stiles than void."

"still counts." lori told her.

she shook her head and chuckled, "whatever you say."

scott peeked his head into the room, "we're ready to go."

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

the group arrived at argent arms international, and brett was the first to enter. he approached chris argent, who had his gun out, in his werewolf form and growled in his face.

"brett, stop!"

"wait! wait! brett!" scott yelled out, "this is his place- it's his."

"scott... if you're bringing guests, you could have called." argent suggested as he lowered his weapon.

"that's what i said." moonee voiced.

"i didn't have anywhere else to take them." scott admitted.

satomi walked through the sheets, "i know this man... he may not remember, but we've met before."

"you can trust him." scott told her, "i trust him."

"how do we know he's not like the others?" satomi questioned.

"what others?"

"last night... there was a whole team after them, and they used crossbows." kira spoke up as he handed chris a broken arrow.

"they're hunters, aren't they?" scott inquired.

"not if they're killing for profit." argent shook his head, "not anymore."

"can they find us?" brett asked.

"they might already know you're here." argent said, "maybe they're waiting for dark."

"so we're not safe here?"

"we're not safe anywhere. we've been trying to get out for days." satomi confessed, "everywhere we turn, we find someone new trying to kill us."

"if they're coming, mccalls, they're coming for you guys, too." argent reminded him, "you're still number one and two on the deadpool."

"we know."

"i know lydia can get the answer from meredith- she just needs more time." scott explained.

"then that's what she'll get." argent nodded.

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

"they'll be okay." scott said to derek.

he had called him, asking for help and derek brought a plus one.

"they've got claws and fangs, but they're not fighters." derek pointed out.

"that's why i called you."

"well, try to remember i don't have claws and fangs anymore, either." derek shrugged.

"that's why he called me!" braeden grinned, "and why i brought this." she tossed a metal bat over to moonee.

moonee gasped as she caught it, "my bat."

"you left it at my loft." derek explained.

"thanks."

"am i the only one still hoping this is all just a false alarm?" kira stated, "i mean, it's possible we could wait here all night and nothing happens... right?"

"i wish, kira." moonee sighed.

"scott, you heard anything from stiles or lydia yet?" braeden questioned.

"lydia's still talking to meredith. stiles and malia are headed to the lake house." scott told her, "they're trying to stop it."

"what if there is no stopping it?" brett stepped forward, his voice echoing through the room, "what if it doesn't end until we're all dead?"

"then let's send a message..." derek announced, "let's make something perfectly clear to anyone with a copy of that list. It doesn't matter if they're professional assassins, hunters, or an amateur who just picked up a gun-"

he showed off his pistol, referring to himself.

"anyone who thinks they can hunt and kill us for money is gonna be put on another list- our list." derek explained, "they get to be a name on our deadpool."

moonee gave him light applause, "that was amazing, hale."

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

"that bat is your weapon?" brett queried once everyone had scattered around the place.

"well, i don't have claws, fangs, a sonic scream or a katana." moonee shrugged, "i've used this in almost all my fights."

"but you do have elemntal abilities?" brett pointed out.

"only two out of the four." moonee said, "there's no water around here and i still haven't mastered the ability of creating it out of thin air, so..."

"got it." brett nodded.

"will you use your signature move?" lori asked her.

"when i hit someone with the bat and use the air to make the impact harder?" moonee smirked, "of course."

"sorry about her, she's a big fan." brett held his younger sister's shoulders.

"it's fine, i have a huge ego and i'm loving this."

"hey, go talk to matt." brett suggested.

lori nodded and walked away from the two.

"you're a werewolf?" moonee asked, he nodded, "with supernatural hearing?" he nodded again. "there's a thirty three percent chance you'll remember, but-"

"that's an exact percentage." brett cut her off.

"statisticallly speaking, i mean." moonee said, trying to take his mind off the whole situation they were currently in, "the day of the scrimmage-"

"i heard you saying i was very attractive." brett smirked.

she stared at him with a deadpan expression, "i think you need to get those werewolf ears of yours cleaned." moonee scoffed, "i would never say something so absurd."

"whatever you say, mccall."

"as i was saying before i was rudely interupted." moonee rolled her eyes, "the day of the scrimmage, when you and liam fell... could you hear your own bones snap?"

"there is no way that was your question." brett shook his head.

"well, it was."

"there's one thing i do remember from the day of the scrimmage." brett started.

"which was?"

"you're horrifying lacrosse skills."

moonee gasped, "okay, i admit i'm terrible. what, are you offering to give me some pointers?"

"i-"

"they're coming." chris announced.

moonee quickly grabbed brett by his sleeve and pulled him behind a pillar. multiple smoke bombs were thrown into the room.

"get back!"

bullets were fired as people stormed inside the place. red lasers were pointing in every direction as moonee had her back against the cold pillar. she waited until a gunman was close enough for her to knock him in the head with her bat.

when he dropped to the floor, she secured her foot on his chest and hit his gun out of his hands. using her bat, she hit him again on his helmet, knocking him unconscious.

the girl quickly panicked and placed her head on his chest, checking for his heartbeat. when she heard it faintly, she sighed in relief but then kicked his side.

moonee had been fighting off the guards one by one, she was growing exhausted. with a black eye and a small cut on her forehead, she kept on going.

her and brett would team together to take down a few of the men. moonee would manipulate the air and push them back while brett would throw a vicious punch in their face.

scott had ordered brett to go help and hide his pack, so moonee was left on her own for a while. however, she didn't need help.

growls and gunshots emitted in the room, ringing in moonee's ear. from afar she saw kira battling one of the men, but another was coming from behind her. the girl charged towards them, stepped over a bleeding gunman and whacked the man in his back.

he grunted out in pain and kicked her bat out of her hand. the girl was suddenly swept off her feet and on the ground, weaponless and vulnerable.

"moon!" kira yelled, throwing her katana at her.

moonee caught it in her hand and turned it vertically. she used a gust of air to aggressively push the guard off of her. she then pulled herself up and handed kira the weapon back.

"thanks."

another man came charging at the two, and kira held her sword up, ready to attack. moonee put her arm out and thrust the man back, he hit a wall and slid to the ground. she then pointed her palm to her bat and watched as it flew into her hands.

suddenly, phones began beeping and the gunshots stopped. the men pointed their weapons down, confusing both kira and moonee.

kira picked up a smashed phone from the ground and showed it to moonee: 'all contacts terminated'. they shared a look of bewilderment and relief.

"moon! kira!" scott jogged over to them, he was now back into his human form. he put his arm around moonee's shoulder and took kira's hand.

"you okay?" moonee asked him.

"i'm alright."

everyone began to come out of their hiding spaces, gathering together and checking if the area was now safe.

"is it over?" kira asked her boyfriend, "really over?"

scott nodded.

⎯ ❃ neens speaks!

it's so funny having brett and moonee interact because he's one of the only other people who has a larger ego than her.

anyways sorry for the slow update lol, school takes up all my time now.
