[ For some reason he ends up crouching down in front of Derek, giving him enough space but also staying right where he is at the same time. ]

It's just this place being royally fucked up.

[lupusalpha]

[Derek wants to grab Stiles, to smell him, to remind himself that -

That Laura is dead-

But he doesn't. He looks up, and there is still fear, there.]

I can't let her hurt anyone, Stiles.

[studmuffin]

[ He holds Derek's gaze because right now he has to sell it to him straight, they live dangerous lives, it hurts and sometimes you just want to give it. But if you're going through hell --. ]

I figured it out. The can only die if the person they're haunting is the one to do it. [ And he's not sure Derek can do that. ] We'd have to find a way to trap her and keep her until this all ends.

[lupusalpha]

[There's a long, quiet pause]

That means me.

[studmuffin]

[ Blowing out a breath. ]

It does. But if you know of a way we can keep an alpha ghoul out here and away from the City then I will follow your lead, you know I will.

[ Otherwise ... ]

[lupusalpha]

[His jaw sets. No, this means it's his responsibility. He's let enough of that fall to the wayside.]

It means me, Stiles.

[studmuffin]

I'm coming with you.

[ There is no way Stiles is letting Derek take Laura out alone, it isn't fair, it isn't right --.

If there roles were reversed Derek would, he knows it. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He huffs, because damn it-]

She's an alpha, Stiles.

[studmuffin]

So it's just another day ending in y. [ He rises to his feet, grabs the bat he's been keeping by the door and looks at Derek. ] Got it.

[lupusalpha]

[He knows he should say no.

But Stiles has probably had enough of that. Scott cut them both out of the deliberation a while ago. It wasn't fair, and now this wasn't fair.

So he just nods]

Don't get between her and me, do you understand?

[studmuffin]

That was Werewolf 101, dude. Where you been?

[ He's sarcastic but it's rounded off, sad for Derek more than anything and put out simply because this is how they deal. ]

[lupusalpha]

[He nudges him out the door]

We have to keep this clear.

[studmuffin]

Okay.

[ For once he's actually listening. This is not a game and he wouldn't wish this kind of agony on Derek. It isn't fair. ]

[lupusalpha]

I need you to keep - you herd her if she runs, but be careful, she's strong and fast and there's only me, all right?

[No Allison to shoot, no Scott to pounce]

[studmuffin]

[ He thinks enviously of Deaton's supply of mountain ash for a moment but he nods, follows Derek through the forest. ]

I got it.
