"Is that supposed to look like that?" Liam asks. Stiles, Kira, and Adrian lean closer to the computers. Luisa watches from her seat as the camera footage flickers.

"No. No, it's not." Stiles says

"Where is that?" Kira asks

"The roof. Someone's gonna have to check it out."

"I'll go."

"Whoa, whoa. This might not just be a malfunction."

"That's why I'm bringing this." Kira says pulling out her sword

Adrian's brows raise, "That'll work."

"I'm coming with you." Liam says before the two walk over to the door

"Be careful." Adrian calls out

"Got it." Liam says back

"Okay. And you're both coming right back. Immediately." Stiles yells out before sighing, "Kids."

Stiles eyes then land on Luisa. The girl keeping to herself as she picked at her nails. He looks over at Adrian who quickly catches on and nods, "I'll be right back. Gonna go check on my dad."

Stiles nods as the girl walks out. He then turns back to Luisa, "You okay?"

Luisa looks up, "Yeah."

"You sure? You're uncharacteristically quiet."

"Just thinking." Luisa says shaking her head

"About what?"

"I don't know." Luisa sighs finally looking up. Stiles' brows raise, "I feel like I missed something with Anna. One day we were fine and talking and okay and the next, she can barely look at me."

"Don't you think it's the whole Deadpool thing?"

"Maybe. But it's not like I'm the one who wants to kill her." Luisa says, "And Adrian tries to be as supportive as she can and she's there whenever I need her, but it's not the same."

Stiles squints, "You don't think that it's maybe deeper than just your friend not talking to you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like, maybe you like her?" Stiles says

Luisa's brows furrow, "Oh."

"Yeah."

"I never thought about it." Luisa mutters, "Okay, but say I do, I still don't get why she's not talking to me."

"Maybe she feels the same. I mean, she's Deucalion's daughter. I can't imagine they sit and talk about their feelings." He says

"What? No." Luisa scoffs, "She doesn't feel the way about me."

"Why wouldn't she?" He says as he watches the cameras

"Because she doesn't like girls."

"Do you know that for sure?" He chuckles

"No." Luisa says, "It wasn't something we ever talked about."

"Well, it's a possibility. It would explain why she's all of a sudden acting like this towards you." He says, "And it might not even be towards you on purpose."

Luisa groans and slumps down in her seat, "Oh god."

Stiles frowns as the footage cuts out, "What the hell?"

"What?" Luisa says

They finally notice the lamp in the corner had cut out. Luisa stands up as Stiles turns to her, "We need to find Argent."

"Okay." Luisa nods before following him. They rush down the hall and as soon as they turn the corner, they jump. Argent sighs as he holds his gun out in front of him.

"The power's out in the whole building. I lost all the cameras." Stiles says as Argent lowers his gun

"Stay with Scott. Text me if you see or hear anything." Argent says before looking down at his wrist. His timer counting down and reaching 18 minutes. He looks up to the teens before walking off.

It had only been a few minutes since the two reach the morgue where Scott was and Stiles' anxiety had already began to kick in. He paced as he held the phone up to his ear, "Come on, come on. Answer the phone. Answer the phone, Argent. Come on, Argent, answer the phone. Why are you not answering the phone?"

The two jump as someone flies through the door. Argent grunts as he looks up to them, "I was right. Get out of here."

The two teens look up as another person walks through the doors. Luisa's eyes widen as Kate glares at them. Argent stumbles as he stands up.

"Get out of the way, Stiles. I'm taking the body."

"Why? Visual confirmation?"

Kate shake her head as she steps closer, "Don't worry, handsome. I'm not The Benefactor."

"Then what do you want with the body?" Luisa asks

"I wish I could tell you." Kate says. Argent rushes forward and grabs her arm before holding a gun up to her chin. Kate sighs, "I always forget you carry two."

"Back off!" Argent groans

"You sure you can pull the trigger fast enough?"

"I don't want to."

"You're not going to kill me."

"I'm not going to let you take his body."

"Okay, well, obviously, you guys have a lot to talk about, so," Stiles starts as he turns to Luisa, "maybe I saw some coffee, a vending machine outside.

"Listen to me, Kate. We have a plan."

"If killing Scott was part of it, you're worse than me." Kate scoffs

"He's telling the truth." Luisa says, "We're trying to get to The Benefactor."

"If you didn't notice, you're on that list too. And you're worth more than most." Argent says

"That's why I'm here." Kate says

"Then back off and let us do what we planned." Argent snaps. Kate looks down at his watch before looking back up at him, "Take the Berserkers, and go. Kate, please. We have a plan."

Kate steps back shoving Argent's hand away. She keeps her eyes on them before disappearing down the hallway. A few seconds later, Kira bursts through the doors.

"We have to wake him." Kira says rushing over

Argent opens the door and pulls Scott out. Kira focuses her energy into her hands and places them over his heart.

The others look down at him with racing hearts. Scott gasps awake making Kira let out a relieved sigh. She pulls him into a soft kiss before Scott pulls away, "What happened? Did it work?"

Before anyone could answer, Liam and Adrian rush in. Kira frowns, "What?"

"It's your mother..." Liam says, "She's hurt."
