Rayne's outfit

🪐

"I hate school." Rayne groans bashing her head on a locker
"Hey, what have I told you about doing that?" Stiles asks
"Not to do it before I test because my brain will mush." Rayne says and he nods.

"Where's Lydia and Isaac?" Kira asks
"She took it her freshman year. Isaac isn't here because he was in France so he's doing it next month." Rayne says
"Does that mean I could have taken it some other time?" Malia asks.

"Malia, you studied harder for this than any of us." Scott says
"Doesn't mean I'm gonna do good." She says
"'Well.'" He corrects.

"Well, what?" She asks
"It's 'do well,' not 'do good.'" Stiles says
"Oh, God!" She groans.

"Okay, okay! We're doing this, because while we're trying not to die, we stil need to live. If I survive high school, I'd like to go to college. A good college..." Scott says
"It's only three hours. We can survive three hours." Kira says and they all look at her.

They grabbed a pencil put their phones in an envelope while getting their papers
"Please do not open the test booklet until you are instructed to do so. This test is two hours and ten minutes. There will be two twenty-five-minute critical reading sections, two twenty-five-minute math sections, and an essay writing portion that will last thirty minutes." The PSAT Proctor explains.

"There are supposed to be two teachers monitoring this exam..." He says turning to Lydia's mom
"I know. It's Coach. He's not exactly punctual. Um, let me just try him again..." She says and walks out the room and then walks back in
"I can't find him... But Mr. Yukimura is upstairs grading papers. Do you want me to try him?" She asks.

"We have to start. We can ask for his assistance during the first break." He says
"You may now open your test booklets and begin." He then says and they all begin. After a couple of minutes they all hear a thud
"Sydney! Are you all right?" Natalie asks.

"I'm okay... I just got kind of dizzy..." Sydney says
"Sydney, how long have you had this?" Natalie asks looking at her arm
"I don't know..." She says.

"Ms. Martin, do I need to stop the test?" The PSAT Proctor asks
"No... Um, it's fine. Everybody stay in your seats. I'll, um, be back in a minute. Nobody leaves the room." Natalie says and Sydney sits down and she walks out the room.

"Get back! No! Do not come in here! Get back outside!" They hear her shout and everyone walks out of the room
"Back to your seats! Now. Please." She says and they walk back in and Rayne tries to focus on her hearing.

"I need the number of the CDC. Yes, the Center for Disease Control..." She hears Natalie say.

🪐

People with yellow hazmat suits walk into the school and cover the windows and set up isolation tents. Scott and Rayne walk into one with Natalie as she helps Sydney
"We isolate the sick, and then we wait for instructions. If I'm wrong, they'll be out of here pretty quickly, and then I'm the crazy biology teacher who panicked for nothing." Natalie says and they chuckle slightly then she leaves.

"Hey... You're gonna be okay." Scott says
"It's not that-- the PSATs are the qualifying tests for the National Merit Scholarship. My parents can't afford to send me to college without it." Sydney says
"Well, I'm sure they'll let you take it again..." Rayne says and they walk out the tent.

🪐

Rayne walks into the bathroom and began to wash her hands when she looks into she sees Aiden behind her. She turns to see nothing there, she turns back to see her eyes red but not like how they usually were. Like the ones she had seen Kali have from the Alpha Pack.

"Rayne, are you alright?" She heard Kira ask
"Rayne, are you alright?" Her voice then morphed into Aiden's. She looked down to see her claws covered in blood.

She slid down the wall pulling her knees to her chest and then Kira and Malia burst into the restroom
"What's wrong?" Kira asks
"Look at me." She says looking down at her hands to see nothing there. She then stood up to see her eyes were back to normal.

"Rayne, what's wrong?" Malia asks
"I don't know."
"I have a feeling I might now." They hear Kira's dad say.

🪐

"It's still happening." Ken says to Scott as his eyes glow red and then they turn to Malia
"I can't make them go back..." She says showing her claws
"Obviously, the virus is affecting the two of you in a way it won't hit any human being." He says
"You guys have to stay out of sight-- we have to quarantine you from the quarantine." Stiles says.

"Yeah, but where? I mean, what if they get violent, like on a full moon?" Kira asks
"We shouldn't stay in here. Not in the locker room." Scott says
"A classroom is not going to hold us..." Malia says.

"What about the basement?" Kira asks
"Too many ways out. We need something secure-- somewhere nobody can find us." Scott says
"The vault." Stiles says.

"The Hale vault." Stiles says
"The Hales always have an escape route, like their house. There has to be another way in." Rayne says and they all go into Coach's office with the blueprints.

"This is where the high school sign is, so the vault's got to be right about here." Stiles says
"I suppose, if there's a second entrance, it would probably be accessible from the basement." Ken says
"It's probably somewhere in this hallway-- west corridor." Stiles says and then loses his balance.

"Whoa..." He says
"It's happening to you, too. You're getting sick-- you all are." Ken says
"I don't feel sick..." Kira says
"I think it's affecting you differently. Neurologically. I found your test answers here in a pile with the others." Ken says holding his daughter's PSAT.

"What about me? I had very fucked up hallucinations." Rayne says
"Well, because you don't activate the wolf part of you even on the full moon and it's not control it's buried deep. It's trying to come out, your mind is tricking you to think your shifting when your not physically." He says.

"Great."

🪐

They rush down to the basement and look around
"Hey, guys...? Over here." Stiles says and him and Scott move stuff out of the way to reveal a metal piece surrounded by a triskelion
"Look at the cracks in the wall. It's like the entrance outside. It only opens with claws-- anyone's claws, right?" Stiles says.

"Malia, can you try?" Scott says
"Why me?" She asks
"I don't have control..." Scott says.

"Okay. I'll do it." Malia says
"But, first, tell me what you've been hiding from me." She says
"I know you think you're trying to protect me, but I can handle it."

"I know I'm on the list!" She exclaims
"Yes..." Stiles says
"So, how much?" She asks.

"How much what?" Stiles asks
"How much am I worth?" She asks
"4 million..." Scott says.

"Are you okay?" Stiles asks
"Yeah. Scott's worth 25, Rayne, 20 Kira, 6. They'll take you guys out way before me." Malia says and walks past them
"That's progress. That's progress." Stiles says and she unlocks the vault making the door slide away to reveal the vault.

🪐

"You know, this is where it all started. That's where the money was. One hundred and seventeen million in bearer bonds." Stiles says
"How do you even change bearer bonds into cash?" Kira asks
"The Bank, I guess. They just let it sit here the whole time, collecting dust. You know bearer bonds are basically extinct?" He says.

"Why does it matter?" Kira asks
"You know how many problems that money could solve?" Stiles says
"For you?"

"Me, my dad... The Eichen House and MRI bills are crushing him." He says
"My mom does this thing... she writes down all the items in our budget, and how much they cost, and then she adds them all up and figures out how long we have until... we lose the house." Scott says.

"I wish I could help." Rayne says
"I mean if the Hale's were this rich. Think about how rich my father- Deucalion was. You would think he would have some gratitude to the people who helped his only daughter."
"But I guess that's what makes him father of the year." She sighs.

🪐

"Anything?" Stiles asks Scott
"They're looking for us. Someone's going to have to go out there." He says and then they turn to see Malia
"We need to tell her the truth about Peter. She's going to see the rest of the Deadpool eventually." Scott whispers.

"Try to remember that Peter is the one name missing on that list-- which either makes him incredibly lucky, or the Benefactor." Stiles says
"He's got a point." Rayne nods.

"She finds out about him, she's going to go to him. You know she is. And then he's going to twist his way into her head, like he does with everyone-- including us. We let him walk around like nothing ever happened, like he's one of the good guys..." Stiles says
"Scott, he's not one of the good guys. If she finds out about him, she's gone. That's probably what he's waiting for! And if he wins, we lose." Stiles says.

"We're already losing." Holding his hand up to see blood dripping from his nails.

🪐

Rayne sits back to where she was when sees blood dripping from her nails as well, her vision starts to blur and then she sees someone kneel down to her
"Rayne?" He says
"Aiden?" She asks.

"Yeah, I need you to not close your eyes. No matter how tired you get don't close your eyes." He says and she nods.

🪐

"Who is she talking to?" Malia asks looking at Rayne
"It's the hallucinations. She's seeing Aiden." Scott says
"The name of the 2nd cipher key?" Malia asks and he nods.

"Is that who's motorbike is outside of her house?" She asks
"Yeah, Ethan, his brother gave it to her."
"They really loved each other." Kira says.

"Yeah. They did."

🪐

"Malia... Malia?" Rayne hears Scott say
"I can't see. I can't see anything!" She hears Malia
"Me neither." Rayne says and Aiden sits beside her and holds her hand.

"What's happening to us?" Malia asks
"Scott? I can't... I can't see..." Kira says
"Rayne." She turns her head to see Erica.

She sits down beside her hand holds her hand
"Just don't shut your eyes." She says.

🪐

"Hey, Rayne? Scotty? In the vault, in there with you-- it's called reishi mushrooms." They hear Stiles shout
"Rayne? Scott, open the door! It's in there with you! It's in a jar, it's on one of the shelves."
"Rayne! Scott, can you hear me?" He shouts.

"Reishi... Scott, I saw it... In a jar, one of the shelves... Reishi..." Kira says.

🪐
"Rayne, you can help your friends." Erica says
"How?" She asks
"Be like Deucalion. He isn't always blind and neither are you." Aiden says.

"Deucalion isn't always blind."

🪐

"Deucalion isn't always blind." Rayne says
"Scott! Your eyes! Your werewolf eyes!" She shouts and Scott's eyes glow and looks around to see them and uses the boxes and the shelf to reach for them and knock them off the shelf making them break.

🪐

"Aiden? Erica?" She asks as they start to fade
"You'll be okay." He says
"We love you." She says and fade completely.

Her vision un-blurs and she hears someone running towards her
"Are you alright, beautiful?" She looks up to see Brett
"Yeah." She says.

"I'm fine."
