Chapter 5: Peter and Miguel

(Sarah...Josie's mom ^^^^^)

Scott rides his bike into the twilight, still smiling like a goof when he left Josie's. But, he couldn't shake the ache he felt in his heart when he left her. It was weird. He has felt that with Alison but not this strong. What does this mean? He shakes out of his thoughts when he sees a figure standing in front of Derek's loft, Malia. He slows his bike and stops in front of her. He turns off the ignition and takes off his helmet, staring at her in confusion.

"What are you doing here?" He sets his helmet on top of his bike and gets off.

"I heard you were coming to talk to Peter. And since Lydia tells me he's basically Satan in a v-neck, I figured you shouldn't be alone." She says, rocking on her heels.

"I can handle Peter." He assures her but, doesn't look like she's going to say no.

"You can handle him better with me." She smirks and heads on inside.

Sometime later, Stiles makes it to Scott's house and heads inside with Derek. Stiles as always storms in like a nervous wreck with Derek staring at him with a weird look.

"We're going to wait where for Scott. We're going to sit quietly. We're not going to call or talk to anyone." Stiles points out.

"Do I talk to you?" Derek asks.

"No." Stiles says quickly.

"Fine"

"Good."

"Who's going to talk to him?" Derek points at Rafe who was now entering the room with a large brown bag in his hands.

"Ah!" Stiles yelps. "Are you getting taller?"

"What are you guys doing here?" Rafe asks.

"We're waiting for Scott." Derek says.

"Yeah, so am I." He holds up the brown bag. "We're supposed to have dinner. I brought extra." He sets the brown bag down on the table. "You guys hungry?"

"Yeah" "No." They both say.

"We're not hungry." Stiles says.

"No, I'm starving." Derek says.

"Thanks though." Stiles smiles tightly.

"Okay, well if you're not hungry, Stiles, your friend can eat with us." Rafe looks at him weirdly, but he knows with Stiles, it's always weird. He looks over to Derek, "What's your name?" He asks.

Derek was about to answer but Stiles beats him, "Miguel."

Derek looks at him with a disbelieved look, Stiles had one that says he couldn't believe he just said that.

"My cousin - Miguel. From Mexico."

Derek smiles forcefully and nods.

"So..." Rafe begins speaking perfect Spanish.

Stiles' eyes widen, "Oh, my god."

Derek responds in perfect Spanish that had Stiles doing a double take.

"Fantastic! Egg roll?" He offers Derek.

"Hell, yeah." Derek smiles and walks over next to Rafe.

"Shrimp fried rice or Pork friend rice?" Rafe asks.

"Shrimp fried rice." Derek says.

"Beef and broc." Rafe says.

Groaning in frustration, "Fantastic! Egg roll." Stiles joins them. What else could he do?

(Josie's change of clothes^^^^)

Josie and her mom were in the kitchen baking cupcakes after Sarah got back from work early. Sarah just pulled out a fresh batch and Josie was icing them. After a nice hot bath, Josie felt so much better from this terrible day, but it had a nice outcome. She met Scott and met new friends and old friends. She couldn't wait to see them again. Josie had a long time to explain to her mom why Fizgig was wrapped up, she was furious with the deputy and swears to go down to give them a piece of her mind but Josie stopped her and talked her out of it. Sarah looks over to her daughter, seeing she was smiling in a dreamlike state as she iced the cupcakes. She taps her shoulder gently to get her attention.

"What's with the smile?" She signs.

Josie blushes and giggles, "Just thinking. I met someone today." She says, signing.

Sarah starts squealing and teases her, "Oooh, what's his name?" She signs.

"Actually, it's Scott McCall. Melissa's son. He was the one who helped me with Fizgig." Josie says, signing.

"Scott McCall? Ooh, I saw a picture of him on Melissa's desk. He's is fine!" Sarah exclaims as she signs.

"He's so cute!" Josie giggles.

"Do you think there something could be there for you?" Sarah signs.

"I don't know. But, I'm hoping maybe. I would like to get to know him more." Josie smiles and signs.

"Well, here's your chance." Sarah signs and starts packing a few cupcakes in a carrier. "Take this batch to Melissa and Scott's house. This is our thank you for both of them. There should be enough for Stiles and Derek and I heard Melissa's ex-husband is back in town and he's trying to reconnect with Scott. He might be there. Go drop this off." She hands her the carrier, ignoring Josie's protests.

"Mom, he'll think I'm so sort of crazy stalker if I show up at his house right after he dropped me off." Josie's face had a look of mortify.

"That's what the cupcakes are for. Just say that your wonderful, young, hot mom forced you to drop off a thank you to his mom." Sarah throws her long brown hair back in a sexy, mocking pose.

Giggling and shaking her head, "Mom, you're crazy." Josie shakes her head.

"I know, and you love me anyway." Sarah says as she signs.

"Eh, sometimes." Josie teases.

Sarah laughs, "Now, go. Text me or face-time me when you're on your way home." She hands Josie a piece of paper. "That's the McCall's address. Type it in your GPS and you're good to go." She also hands Josie her car keys. "You better be careful and no listening to music while you drive." She says to her.

Josie does a fake salute and waves.

Sarah sighs as she watches her daughter drive off, "Ah, teenage love. Please, god, let him be a good guy." Sarah rubs her face.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, uh, Miguel." Rafe speaks up. "What did you say your last name was again?" He asks as he eats.

"Oh, it's Juarez." Stiles speaks up. "Cinqua...Tiago." He trails off.

Derek looks at him weirdly.

"That's a mouthful." Rafe says. "How do you spell that?"

Derek turns to Stiles, seeing what his answer would be.

"Phonetically." Stiles says.

Derek rolls his eyes and looks over and sees an FBI badge sitting on the table near them. "Mr. McCall, you're an FBI agent?"

Rafe nods.

"He's low level. Very low level. He doesn't even have a voice." Stiles say.

"So do you investigate murders?" Derek asks, ignoring Stiles.

"Sometimes. When it's a federal crime." Rafe says.

"What about fires?" Derek asks.

"Oh, my god, I wonder where Scott is." Stiles try to change the subject and pulls out his phone. "We should call Scott."

"What kind of fires are you talking about?" Rafe asks.

Stiles begin to laugh nervously.

"Do you know anything about the Hale family?" Derek asks.

Rafe stops chewing and looks at him with shock and curiosity.

"Seriously, where the heck is Scott?!" Stiles types on his phone.

Ding-dong!

"I'll get it!" Stiles flies out of his seat and runs for the door.

He quickly opens the door and sees Josie there with a plastic Tupperware carrier filled with cupcakes. "Josie?! What are you doing here?" He asks nervously.

"Um, I came to drop these off for Scott and his mom. Like a thank you for everything." She says holding up the carrier.

Stiles eyebrows couldn't get any higher as the stress continues to rise inside him, "Ah, great. I'll be sure to give these to him and his mom. I'll tell him you stopped by too! See you later." Stiles spoke a little too fast for her and took the cupcakes from her, he was about to shut the door till Rafe stops him.

"Hi, can I help you?" He asks.

"Oh, hi! I'm Josie, a friend of Scott's. I was dropping off some cupcakes for him and his mom. My mom and I wanted to thank them for helping us." She says. "Mr. McCall I presume?" She asks.

"Yeah, that's me. I'm Rafe, Scott's dad." He reaches out to shake her hand and she accepts. "Come on in, we're just having dinner. You can join us if you want, there's plenty." He says as he pushes Stiles out of the way.

"Uh, I think she actually has to be going now." Stiles says.

"Actually, that would be nice. As long as I'm not intruding." She says.

"Yes." "No, not at all."

"Great." Josie smiles and walks in, taking the cupcakes from Stiles.

"Hope you like Chinese." Rafe says as he walks back into the kitchen.

"She's deaf, Mr. McCall." Stiles groans.

Rafe stops and winces at Josie, "I'm sorry." He starts to sign, "Do you like Chinese?" He asks.

Stiles does a double take, "Does everyone know how to sign?" He scoffs.

"I love it. Thank you for letting me stay. Where is Scott and Melissa?" She signs.

"Scott should be home soon and Melissa has night shift. Come on, food is this way." Rafe signs and heads back to the dining room.

Stiles stops her, "Ok, do not say Derek's name ok?" He mouths.

She looks at him confused, "Why?" She whispers.

"Just don't. His name is Miguel and he's my cousin. Scott's dad is an FBI agent and Derek's family..." He looks back at the dinning room and makes sure they're not being heard. "Derek's family died, a while back. Something really bad has happened and Scott and I are trying to figure out how to tell him." He mouths.

Josie covers her mouth in horror, "You need to tell him! You can't keep this from him. He deserves to know!" She whispers. "Wait, how come Derek doesn't know?" She asks.

"There was...an accident. He doesn't remember." He mouths.

"And why do you want me to keep this from Mr. McCall?" She asks.

"Cause Derek...Derek is in the system. They're going to take him away. We don't want that to happen." He mouths.

"Oh, ok." She sighs. "Mum's the word." She says and walks into the dinning area.

"Josie!" Derek exclaims happily.

"Hi..." She looks at Stiles, giving an unbelievable look and turns back to Derek. "Miguel." She chuckles awkwardly. "How are you?" She asks as she gives him a hug.

"You know Miguel?" Rafe asks, signing.

"Briefly. We met earlier this morning. Had a run in with the local cops." She grimaces.

"One of them kicked her dog." Derek says.

"What?!" Rafe exclaims in disbelief. "Why did he kick your dog?" He signs.

"Miguel was lost and scared in the woods and I was trying to help him. We were on private property without realizing it and two cops showed up. One was really nice and the other had a bad attitude problem and treated us like were were criminals. The attitude cop shoved me away when I was trying to comfort Miguel. My dog, Fizgig, was accompanying me, and saw the whole thing. The cop tasered Miguel for no reason! I tried to help but the cop grabbed my arm and dragged me to the truck. Fizgig did what every dog does for their loving owner. Protect them. He cracked his rib and Scott helped him." Josie signs, smiling at the memory of Scott.

"What did she say?" Stiles says nervously.

"Wow, which cop was it?" Rafe signs.

"The nice one was named Parrish. The other was Haigh. Haigh was the one who kicked Fizgig." She signs.

"I hope the Sheriff did something about that." Rafe signs. He reaches for a cupcake in the carrier and started to peel off the paper.

"Docked his pay, that's it. He deserves to be kicked and see how he likes it." Josie signs.

Chuckling, "I like her." Rafe says.

"What?" Stiles asks nervously.

"She told me about your incident in the woods, Miguel. You're lucky to have a friend like her." Rafe says and takes bite of the cupcake.

Derek smiles and nods.

"Oh, my god!" Rafe exclaims. "This is amazing!"

Josie giggles and grabs an egg roll.

"Is that walnuts I taste and nutmeg?" Rafe asks as he signs.

"Just a little bit." She says.

"Now, I really like her. If Scott is dating her, I approve." Rafe says.

Josie blushes and looks down shyly.

"Now, about your earlier question, about the Hale family..."

Josie's eyes widen and looks over to Stiles who looked like he was about to be sick on himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Can't someone in this town stay dead?" Peter says angrily.

"I think they were hoping you would." Malia says simply.

Malia and Scott stood in Derek's loft, after telling Peter about Kate Argent being alive again.

"Do you know have any idea why Kate would turn Derek into a teenager again?" Scott asks.

Peter paces and thinks hard, then he turns back to Scott, realizing something, "What color was his eyes?"

"Blue." Scott says.

"After Paige." Peter sighs in realization. "Which could mean around the time he first met Kate."

"Derek and Kate knew each other?" Scott asks, completely shocked.

"Biblically." Peter smirks. He sees Scott's face, jaw dropped. "That's right, Scott. You weren't the first wolf to climb into a hunter's bed."

Scott rolls his eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Derek slams Stiles into the door, causing Josie to yelp in shock.

"Okay, I didn't lie." Stiles groans.

Derek presses him tighter into the door.

"I omitted the truth." Stiles groans. "Vital truths now that I think about it." Stiles winces.

Josie steps up and places a hand on Derek's shoulder, "Derek." She speaks softly.

Derek turns to her, anger covered his face.

"Let him go. I'm sure he had a good reason to keep this from you." She says.

Derek growls and in frustration he lets Stiles go and paces the room, "I don't want to talk to you. I want to talk to the Alpha. I want to talk to Scott." Derek says.

Josie caught that, "Alpha?" She looks at Stiles.

"Uh, Derek, ix-nay." He points at Josie.

Derek scoffs in frustration and sits on the bed. "Did you know as well?" He asks Josie.

"Stiles told me they died when I got here. I didn't know before." She shakes her head. From the sound of her heart, Derek knew she was telling the truth.

"Also, Miguel?!" Josie exclaims in disbelief.

Stiles shrugs, stuttering.

"Ok, you need to tell both of us the truth. What is going on?" Josie asks, folding her arms over her chest.

"Okay. I'm going to go get Scott and he'll explain everything." Stiles pats his pockets. "My phone's downstairs. Going to call him real quick. You stay here, just don't move, okay? Don't move." Stiles kept poking his head in and out of the room. "Don't! I thought you..." Josie had enough and pushes him out, slamming the door.

"Ugh!" Josie huffs and looks at Derek.

"I need to text my mom." She pulls out her cell and starts texting her mom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Peter walks around thinking hard about the fact that Kate managed to survive, become a werejaguar, and managed to transform Derek from a 23 year old to 15 year old, but understand why is a mystery.

"Okay, Derek went to the site of the house, thinking it was still there, right?" Peter asks.

"Yeah, but he doesn't remember the fire." Scott says.

"But, if he doesn't remember the fire, then he doesn't remember it was Kate that set it." Peter says. He stops and finally figures it out.

"So what does that mean?" Malia asks.

Peter faces them, "Kate didn't just take him back to being a teenager. She took him back to the age where he still knew her. When he still trusted her." He says, watching their faces go to realization to shock.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Josie was on the phone with her mom, the door slowly creeks open and Derek looks up in shock at the person walking in the room. Josie puts her phone up and turns around. She looks confused when a beautiful woman with long dark blonde hair struts into the room. She seemed to carry such power and confidence.

Kate Argent smiles sickly sweet at Derek, giving him an innocent face.

"Kate?" Derek asks, confusion written all over his face. She smelled different. Like she wasn't human anymore.

"Hello, handsome. Been a long time." Kate giggles and walks closer to him. "Longer than you think." She smirks. Josie looks over at them and Kate spots her, "And who's that?" she asks.

"That's Josie. My friend." Derek looks over at Josie. "Josie, this is Kate. Um, my girlfriend."

Josie's eyes popped out of their sockets, he was dating...a woman...possibly old enough to be his mother!

"Girlfriend?" She stutters.

"That's right, sweetie. I missed you, Derek." Kate caresses his cheek, Josie suddenly had the urge to throw up. There was something about Kate she didn't like at all.

Kate brushes past Derek to really look at Josie, sniffing her deeply, "Hmm, you smell really good. You have a very curious scent. Very interesting." She starts to circle Josie like a prey, playing with strands of Josie's hair.

"Um, thank you?" Josie says, still confused with what was going on.

"She doesn't know anything, Kate." Derek says.

Kate cocks here head, "Well, that might change." She brushes her fingers over Josie's cheeks. Kate's brows scrunches in confusion. Usually, her fingers should be claws by now but, she felt...in control. "Very curious." Kate mutters. It could be nothing, but something about Josie struck Kate's interest.

She turns to Derek, "I need your help, Derek."

Stiles finally found his phone and starts coming back up the stairs after he got a hold of Scott, "No, he's in your bedroom with Josie. What? No, he's not gonna try anything. Why do you sound like a jealous boyfriend, Scott, you just met Josie. They'll be totally fine. To be honest, I'm starting to miss the old Derek." He mutters. "So, if you actually think that Kate's coming to find him..." Stiles stops when he sees a figure going out the window, holding on to Josie. Kate turns and smirks at Stiles, gripping on to Josie's body and covering her mouth as she tries to call out to Stiles with fear in her eyes. Soon, they were gone. Kate, Josie, and Derek.

"You might be right." Stiles mutters into the phone, rubbing his forehead in panic.
