QUINCE
015 — LOGAN
Logan sat on the floor in what was suppose to be a cell full of skeleton bones. He saw the girl starting to wake up. She groaned as she looked around the room that Kate had put her in. She didn't seem to realise that Logan was there as she stood up nearing the cell door which was left ajar.
"I wouldn't if I were you." He said startling her as she believed that she were alone.
Kira looked in the direction of the voice and saw the man sitting against one of the walls. She squinted her eyes looking at him, something about him was familiar. She swore she had seen him somewhere before. Then it clicked.
"You're Logan aren't you?" She asked the man who grunted in reply.
"Who wants to know" He replied not knowing who the girl was or what her intends were but he knew they were bad either wise she wouldn't of been down there with him.
"I'm Kira. I-Uh. I know your daughter, Laura. We found her when we came to Mexico a few months ago" She explained to him. This seemed to peek his interest.
"My daughter. How is she? Is Laura alright?" He asked her, he was desperate to see his daughter he was searching for her before he got caught up with Kate and her berserkers.
"She's safe, she's in Beacon Hills as far as
I know. My friends and I, we are sort of like you. Supernatural." She assured him.
"I see" He spoke "Why did Kate bring you here?" He asked her curiously.
"I'm not sure all I know is that Scott's in trouble" She said looking back at him before leaving the cell knowing that he wasn't going to follow her if she begged him too. Little did she realise the only reason he stayed there was because he had already tried to escape multiple times and it all ended up the same.

Laura stood with Derek and Braeden around a table filled with weapons and bullets.
Derek sighed as he looked at all of it on the table. "I still don't like relying on these things." He told Braeden.
"I get it. You miss your power. I would too." Braeden says trying to comfort him.
Derek shook his head "It's not about power, it's about being able to help. I don't like feeling helpless." He tells her as he looks towards Laura who was playing around with some of the weapons on the table trying to twirl a knife in her hands.
"I'm human. Do I look helpless?" She asks him slightly offended as she loaded her gun.
Derek tilted his head at her "You're a much better shot than me." He told her looking slightly sad.
Braeden caught the look knowing what he was thinking. "Do you really think you won't be coming back?" She asked peeking Laura's interest in the conversation as she looked at the two confusion before putting down the knife she held.
"Not alive" He admitted. Laura frowned as she stepped closer to the man.
"You are not dying" Laura stated. She already knew that her Father could be dying, he could be dead already for all she knew and she didn't want someone else who had kept her safe and acted like a parental figure to die too.
Braeden seemed to be thinking the same thing. "You know I'm not okay with that." She said as she moved towards him. Derek looked at her softly before pulling her closer and kissing Braeden.
Laura made a sound of disgust "bruto" She yacked sticking out her tongue pretending to be sick.
Derek rolled his eyes shoving her softly. Before turning back to Braeden.
"I am...okay with it. If it saves Scott and Kira." He told her. "But to be honestly I don't even know if this is enough firepower to take down one Berserker." He said honestly looking at all of the ammo placed upon the table.
"Not even close" A voice called out. The trio turned to see Peter walking down the spiral steps. "Killing a Berserker is next to impossible. It's not just the firepower, it's breaking the animal spirit from the human." He explains to Derek.
"Well, the one person we know with that kind of experience is Argent. And he's not getting back to me" Derek replied raising his eyebrows at Peter.
"Well, then you're going to need help. Like Malia, maybe Liam. Definitely me, and Laura has killed a Berserker before so we have one advantage." Peter tells him although he has a much greater plan in play.

Derek, Peter and Laura exit from Derek's Toyota as they meet with Stiles, Malia, Liam and Braeden who went ahead and got them the prison van.
Derek looked towards Liam before speaking "Are we really bringing him?" He asked the two stood next to the boy knowing that he still didn't have control over the full moon.
Stiles gave him a look before pointing over at Peter "Are we really bringing him?" He retorted.
"We're bringing everyone that we can." Peter bit back, not liking the hostility towards him. "And considering Scott and Kira were taken the night before a full moon, we should probably get going." He insisted.
"What's that mean?" Malia asked her Dad.
"If Kate took Scott back to the same temple that she took Derek, how do we know she's not planning to do the same thing to him?" Peter told them knowing Kate's actually plan but telling them otherwise.
Liam looked confused. "What, she wants to make him younger?"
"Or take him back to when he wasn't a werewolf" Derek said in thought, thinking about what Kate had done to him.
"A werewolf can't steal a true Alpha's power. But maybe a Nagual jaguar, with the power of Tezcatlipoca behind her...Maybe she can." Peter told them. "So, if everyone is sufficiently freaked out, I say we get going." He accounted gesturing to the cars parked behind them.
"We can't" Stiles told him "Not without Lydia." He insisted.
Stiles paced back and forth as he tried to get through to Lydia. The others stood around the cars waiting.
"What's she doing at the school anyway?" Derek asks Malia.
Malia showed him Kira's sword "We got Kira's sword, but we need something with a stronger scent. Lydia went to get a jacket out of her locker." Malia replied, explaining her friends whereabouts.
Stiles walked up to them after failing to get through to Lydia. "Nothing." He shrugged annoyed at the fact he couldn't get through to her.
"If she has a car, she can catch up to us." Braeden told him wanting to get going before they were too late.
Peter pointed at Braeden "That's a good point. We'll call her from the road" He agreed causing Laura to give him a suspicious look. He seemed all too keen on leaving Lydia behind and she wanted to know why.
"No" Stiles disagreed "What if something happened? What if she's in trouble?" He asked them.
"Fine. You stay, you find her. We're gonna go on without you." Peter said knowing that they didn't need Stiles anyway. He had no claws or fangs or fire power, just sarcastic comments.
Liam spoke up as Peter walked to Derek's car tired of being held up. "I could call Mason. He has a study group at school. Maybe he could look for her." He suggested coming up with the next best thing. Even Derek looked impressed raising his eyebrows at Stiles, it was a good idea.
Stiles sighed "All right. Fine." He agreed as they all disperse to their cars.
Stiles held Malia back for a second whilst Branden, Derek, Liam and Laura went to the prison transport van.
Before they could get in Peter spoke causing them to turn and face him. "Remember what we're dealing with here. It's not just Kate, it's Berserkers. You might see human eyes behind those skulls. Do not assume that there's any humanity left." He told them almost as if he knew something they didn't.
"Oh. This little one is terrified of them, aren't you" He said speaking to Liam. "Don't worry, my friend. It is that fear that will keep you alive." He assured him but it sounded more of a warning.
Laura being next to the boy grabbed his hand in comfort whilst glaring at Peter knowing that he was freaking him out on purpose. He had tried to do the same with her but it never worked. Liam looked at Laura in surprise who just shrugged at him and smiled.
"A reminder to everyone" Peter said to them all raising his voice "You do not fight Berserkers to survive, you fight to kill"

The four sat in the back of the prison transport van as Derek handcuffed Liam to the seat.
"All good?" He asked him. Liam replied by yanking at the chains which still held in place showing that he was.
"Okay. I brought something to help you." Derek said as he took something out of his pocket. Laura looked at it and remembered seeing it in the Vault when he was showing Argent around.
"This has been with my family for centuries." He explained to Liam but both Stiles and Laura knew that was a lie. Laura was there when Derek told Argent it was a fake made to help young werewolf's learn control, it was nothing but a piece of wood.
Stiles gave Derek a look of disbelief but luckily Liam didn't catch it as he continued to listen to the man in front of him. "It's a very powerful supernatural talisman. We use to teach Betas how to control themselves on a full moon." He explained in more detail as he passed it to Liam who looked at it sceptically.
Derek looked to Stiles and Laura nodding his head over to Liam wanting more so Stiles to say something so that he would believe it.
The intimidating look Derek have Stiles was enough for him to speak. "Yes, it's powerful." Stiles said in a discouraging forceful tone as he cleared his throat. "Very powerful." He squinted his eyes trying to assure him but he couldn't even he could hear the disbelief in his tone.
Liam looked up at them and Laura nodded in agreement. "si mucho" Liam nodded after that, it being enough to persuade him that what Derek was saying was the truth.
As the hours went by and the sun went down. Liam started grunting as the moon shined into the van. His claws made an appearance as he struggled for breath. "Whatever you were gonna teach me..." He let our breathing heavily as his eyes glowed "I think you better start" He told them feeling his control get weaker and weaker.

Kira groaned as blood poured out of the wound that Scott unknowingly inflicted upon her. Logan sat on the wall opposite her annoyed with her panting.
"You can cry if you want. No one but me will hear you or care. I cried the first time I was done here although for a different reason, being the fact that I was taken from my daughter not knowing if she were safe. Crying isn't a measure of ones strength" He told her trying to get her mind off of her wound so that she might stop groaning, it would also make her feel better.
Kira shook her head at him "But I'm not strong." She cried "I need to get up. I need to tell them..." She said desperately.
"Then get up" Logan grunted "How do you know you can't?" He said.
"Because I'm not healing. I can't get sick, but I haven't learnt to heal yet." She hiccuped looking down at her wound again.
"Then learn." He told her.
"I-I can't. I don't know how, how to start, or what to do." She struggles to breath as she continues to cry in pain.
"We're similar you and I. Although I heal automatically. But you can learn to heal you just have to know how. How do werewolves trigger it?" Logan asked her.
"Pain" She breathed heavily. "With pain." She told him as she looked down at her hands before up at Logan.
"Can you...?" She asked as he nodded before extending his claws. He shuffled closer to her before cutting her palm as she groaned. He stopped as her eyes glowed orange knowing that it had worked.
Kira got up after that completely healed. She nodded at the older man in thanks before speaking. "Are you coming? They should be here soon and your daughter will be with them." Kira asked him.
Logan shook his head "Not yet. There's something I have to do first" He told her following her out before going a different way. He needed to get rid of him before Laura arrived as he knew Kate would use him as a weapon to defeat Laura.
