DEREK ALONGSIDE HIS FIANCÉE enter their loft together sighing out of exhaustion once both of their backs his the bed.

"Remind me to check in on Stiles in the morning, right now I need about eight hours of beauty sleep" Marlo mumbles undressing herself so she can get changed out of her dirty clothes and put on her comfy silky pyjamas.

Marlo sighs coming out from the bathroom seeing her fiancé shirtless preparing himself for bed.

"Your wound looks good" Marlo states looking at the healing human wound on his torso.

"Yeah, it's finally not bugging me as much anymore" Derek replies, Marlo gets under their covers snuggling into Derek's chest once he gets under the grey sheets alongside her.

"Goodnight Lo" Derek gently says as he looks down seeing the woman he loves dosing off to dreamland.

"Night, Der" Marlo mumbles allowing sleep to fully take over her body.

Derek wakes up looking at the time to see it's only eleven-thirty at night before hearing Marlo's phone vibrating on the bedside table unplugging the charger.

He sees Stiles's contact name, "Stiles? You okay?" Derek asks answering his fiancée's phone knowing she won't mind.

"Yeah, just let Marlo know I'm at the hospital getting checked up because Brunski tried killing Lydia and I, please" Stiles rambles, "Of course, yeah" Derek replies once Stiles ends the phone call.

Derek exhales looking down at the woman he's going to marry on his chest softly breathing in and out.

"Lo, baby, wake up" Derek says gently tapping Marlo's shoulder as the woman groans.

"What? What's wrong?" Marlo asks seeing the panicked look on Derek's face.

"Your brother called, his at the hospital, Brunski one of the nurses at Eichen tried killing him and Lydia tonight, his okay though" Derek explains.

Marlo gasps seeing the text messages on her phone, "Oh thank gosh, he's okay" Marlo states softly smiling knowing Melissa is with her brother.

Marlo frowns seeing the message from her adoptive father for her to come to the station as the Benefactor has been revealed.

"I'll be back later, I love you" Marlo says kissing her husband to be on the lips before rushing out of their loft towards the sheriff station.

"Dad, what is going on?" Marlo asks running into the station seeing Lydia, Jordan and Riley looking at something.

Before looking over at Meredith Walker sitting in Sheriff Stilinski's office handcuffed being questioned by the man himself.

"What did she say?" Lydia asks, "Hard to tell, there were words, I'm not sure there were actual sentences" Stilinski states looking at the strawberry blonde.

"Nothing" Lydia mumbles, "I think we need a psychologist or a medium" Stilinski states picking up a telephone.

Marlo makes sure her two friends are doing okay since Riley and Jordan both saved Stiles and Lydia from being killed.

"Is she even competent enough to be charged with something?" Lydia asks.

"If Meredith is the Benefactor, then that means she was competent enough to trick Kate into opening the Hale vault—competent enough to blackmail Brunski into helping her and competent enough to create a hit-list and pay out money for its completion, this girl's practically a criminal mastermind" Stilinski states putting the phone down to look at Lydia while explaining the situation.

Lydia and Stilinski both look at Meredith in the office already staring at them before she smirks at Marlo who's talking to Riley and Jordan still.

"There's gotta be a reason why she would do this" Lydia softly states, "I'm only interested in the why if it tells me the how" Stilinski states looking at strawberry blonde.

Marlo walks up to the girl and her adoptive father listening to their conversation, "You mean 'how to stop it'" Lydia states.

"After what happened to Scott tonight, and possibly targeting my daughter, this thing's still going, the payments could be automatic and, as long as the killers are getting paid, and paid very well, that list is gonna keep getting smaller" Stilinski states looking at his eldest daughter standing beside him.

Folding her arms over her chest, Stilinski smiles seeing the ring, now knowing the Hale man finally asked her to marry him, "We don't just need to stop the Deadpool" Lydia starts.

"We need to stop the money" Marlo states looking at the two of them putting the pieces together receiving nod off her adoptive father.

༻✦༺

Scott rushes into the animal clinic after dropping Liam home seeing Kira rushing up to him.

The couple share a much needed kiss, "Is your mom?" Scott asks, "She's okay, healing" Kira nods.

"What about you?" Scott asks looking at his girlfriend, "Me?" Kira asks confused, "Are you okay?" Scott asks.

"Right now? Very" Kira states kissing her boyfriend once more with a smile on her face.

"Did you find him? Did you find Brett?" Scott asks, "Actually, I think I found all of them" Kira states.

Grabbing Scott's hand gently and guiding him to the back of the clinic, "Satomi, this is who I was telling you about" Kira states.

Scott looks around the room seeing a pack of werewolves together, "I know who Scott McCall is" Satomi states smiling at the boy before noticing the lack of Marlo's appearance.

"Where is Marlo?" Satomi asks shocking Scott, "I called her as well, she's going to help us don't worry, she's just in the middle of something" Kira explains.

Satomi nods smiling at the couple, "Are we safe here?" Lori, Brett's younger sister asks looking at Scott.

The true alpha looks around the room once more seeing the injured and relieved people and couples holding one another.

Scott turns towards Kira, "We're gonna need help, a lot of help" Scott states nodding at Kira who softly smiles at him.

The next morning as the daylight creeps into the station, Sheriff Stilinski comes out of his office seeing Lydia leaning against Marlo's shoulder.

"I thought I told you to go home" Stilinski states sighing, "I thought I told you I wasn't going anywhere, did they get anything out of her?" Lydia asks waking up from her uncomfortable sleeping position.

"Should have gone with the medium" Stilinski states as Marlo sighs knowing how hard this is going to be for her adoptive father and other deputies.

"We went through everything in Brunski's office, and so far, everything amounts to pretty much nothing" Jordan states as himself and Riley walk out from one of the rooms seeing both Marlo and Lydia still at the station.

"Did you not go home yet?" Jordan asks seeing Lydia in the same clothes from last night before looking at Marlo who shrugs, "I'm only here because I'm looking out for my dad and friends" Marlo states.

"Not until Meredith starts talking" Lydia states, "Lydia, I promise she'll talk, and when she does, I'll let you know, trust me on this, everybody talks eventually" Stilinski states.

Marlo looks at her phone seeing a message from Scott and Isaac asking her to meet at the Argent's warehouse with Derek.

Marlo replies saying she'll also bring Braeden because they need all the help they can get.

"Then let me try" Lydia states, "No, we've already discussed this" Stilinski states.

"I've gotten through to her before, just let me try" Lydia states looking at the Sheriff amused.

Marlo shrugs getting her stuff together, "Well, I've got to meet Scott and Derek to go over this plan, keep me updated?" Marlo states looking in between Lydia, her dad, Jordan and Riley.

They all nod stating they'll keep the brunette updated with their progress.

Marlo smiles hugging Stilinski goodbye and wishing them all luck before walking out towards her car feeling the sudden rush of paranoia that she's being watched.

Looking around her surroundings seeing no one in sight the vampire hybrid shrugs and gets into her car driving towards the loft to change into something more comfortable and to pick up Derek and possibly Braeden who told her she'll meet her at the loft ready for the plan and she'll bring her shotgun.

"Hi baby, I'm just getting changed and then I'll be ready" Marlo states rushing into their loft seeing Derek on the couch reading.

Derek nods seeing Marlo walk upstairs to her closet and coming back down with a pair of jeans and sweater on ready for the possible fight later on.

"You ready?" Braeden asks making herself known at the entrance, receiving nods from both Marlo and Derek.

The three walk downstairs towards Marlo's vehicle ready to drive towards Chris Argent's warehouse to go over the plan with Scott, Isaac and the others.

Derek looks at Marlo in the passenger seat after they agreed that he'll drive to the warehouse instead of her.

"I hope Scott and Isaac have got a good plan because this shit is terrifying, I'm the number one on the deadpool, they're coming after me" Marlo states looking at Derek and Braeden in the car.

"Well, I won't let anyone hurt you ever Lo, and that's why we're bringing Braeden as well, she won't let her best friend get injured" Derek states receiving a nod from the brunette in the back of the car.

"Exactly—no one is dying" Braeden explains as the vehicle approaches the warehouse.

Marlo looks around seeing Scott's motorcycle, Isaac's car and a few more cars outside in the parking spaces.

"Well, let's do this" Marlo mumbles getting out of the car and waiting for Derek and Braeden to walk beside her into the warehouse.

Marlo walks into the warehouse seeing Scott, Isaac, Zara and Kira smiling at her.

Before Marlo's eyes catch Satomi's and the older alpha werewolf walks towards the vampire hybrid embracing her and Derek in a hug sighing relief knowing they're alive.

"Congratulations, by the way" Satomi states motioning to the engagement ring on Marlo's finger.

"Thank you" Derek says nodding at the older woman before looking around the warehouse wanting to know an escape plan if he has to get out of here with his fiancée in his arms.

Chris looks at Marlo and Scott worried for their safety knowing they're the top two on the deadpool list and knowing the hunters are coming and ready to kill the supernatural beings.

"You're the famous Marlo Stilinski-Laureni, the daughter of the famous Deucalion Laureni?" Brett asks looking at the woman.

"I am, I'm guessing you're Brett?" Marlo asks shaking the males hand who's nodding.

"I will protect you and your sister with my life and that's a promise" Marlo states.

Lori comes towards her brother standing beside him looking at the vampire hybrid impressed.

Chris walks around the warehouse setting up motion sensors so they have warnings when the hunters are entering and so they're prepared for the incoming fight.

Braeden stands beside Marlo, Zara and Isaac, loading her shotgun as Derek looks at his fiancée worried for her safety.

Scott walks towards the three adults now standing beside Derek, "They'll be okay" Scott says looking at the others in the warehouse.

"They've got claws and fangs, but they're not fighters" Derek explains unsure of the whole plan before walking towards Marlo wanting to be extra close to her.

"That's why Isaac and I called you and Marlo" Scott states looking at Isaac.

"Well, try to remember I don't have claws and fangs anymore, either and my fiancée is also the highest on the dead-pool alongside you" Derek explains.

"That's why Marlo called me" Braeden states looking at the two males.

"Am I the only one still hoping this is all just a false alarm? I mean, it's possible we could wait here all night and nothing happens, right?" Kira asks looking around at the others.

"Marli, Scott, you heard anything from Stiles or Lydia yet?" Braeden asks her best friend and the young true alpha.

"Lydia's still talking to Meredith, Stiles and Malia are headed to the lake house, they're trying to stop it" Marlo states before Scott can.

Brett's walks up behind them, "What if there is no stopping it? What if it doesn't end until we're all dead?" Brett asks as Marlo shakes her head.

"Remember what I promised you and Lori, that's not happening with me around" Marlo states.

Brett looks at her with a soft but worried smile, Derek and Isaac look at Marlo confused about what she promised the two young siblings.

"Then let's send a message, let's make something perfectly clear to anyone with a copy of that list, it doesn't matter if they're professional assassins, hunters, or an amateur who just picked up a gun" Derek explains holding up the gun Marlo gave him the other day.

"Anyone who thinks they can hunt and kill us for money is gonna be put on another list, our list, they get to be a name on our Deadpool" Derek states as Marlo smirks.

"Our own little Deadpool, I say bring it" Marlo states flashing her eyes at everyone showing them she isn't losing this as everyone looks at the vampire hybrid happy she's on there side as of now.

Braeden cocks her gun ready for the fight after Derek and Marlo's little speech, looking at the engaged couple impressed.

Derek calls Marlo person they can speak privately in a corner as the rest of them get ready for the hunters arrival, "What did you promise Brett and Lori, Lo?" Derek asks.

Marlo inhales, "I promised them that they weren't going to die tonight and I'd sacrifice myself if I have to for the two siblings, I'd do that for anyone" Marlo states.

Derek looks at his fiancée shocked, "Yeah, absolutely not, no, that's not happening baby, I didn't propose just for you to die a few days later; no one and I mean no one, especially you; aren't dying tonight" Derek states hugging Marlo tightly scared of losing the woman he loves.

An alarm sounds over the warehouse, "They're coming" Chris states signalling everyone to fall into motion.

Marlo kisses Derek just in case anything happens.

Smoke grenades are thrown into the warehouse from every entrance, "Get back" Braeden screams looking for her best friend.

Seeing her standing next to Derek and Satomi before they rush out of the way of the smoke.

Marlo flashes her eyes once more ready to transform any second into both vampire and werewolf if needed, gunfire is heard coming from the entrance.

Marlo throws herself on Derek protecting him from the incoming bullets from the gunfire.

"Lo, are you fucking insane?" Derek snarls getting up and dragging her away before looking all over her body seeing a few blood patches on her back.

"I'm okay, I'm healing, you're human Der, I'm not losing you" Marlo states as everyone separately fights one hunter after another.

Derek fires his handgun seeing one of the hunters chasing after his fiancée who exits the area they're hiding in.

"Fight someone who is on the list fucker, stop targeting someone human" Marlo snarls stepping into the firing pit.

"Marlo, stop!" Scott yells seeing his best friend's sister and his older sister figure in the gunfire area.

Isaac also notices and grows worried for his mother figure, "M, move" Isaac yells.

"How many are there?" Derek yells leaning against Braeden's back seeing his fiancée standing with guns pointed at her.

"Too many" Braeden states shooting one of the hunters targeting Marlo, as most of them separate from one another.

Derek and Braeden look around unable to find Marlo in the gunfire, "Get the others back, tell them to hide" Scott states seeing Brett, Zara and Isaac.

Scott looks around trying to find his girlfriend or even Marlo in the smoke and gunfire.

"Kira? Kira, Marlo?" Scott yells as bullets are shot at him landing in his shoulders and other places of his body.

STILES AND MALIA VIDEO chat Lydia to show her what they've found at the lake-house.

"You see it? There's got to be a way to turn it off, right?" Stiles asks showing Lydia.

"I don't know, I don't know anything about computers from the 1970s" Lydia states walking out of the sheriff's office into the lobby, "Neither do we" Malia states.

"Okay, where's the monitor?" Lydia asks, "Lydia, there is no monitor, there are buttons, spindles, no monitor" Stiles states flying the phone around.

"Wait, turn the phone back, point it at the carpet" Lydia asks frowning, "The what?" Stiles asks confused.

"The floor, just show me the floor" Lydia explains while Stiles shows the floor.

"Where's the stain? There should be red blotches, a wine stain" Lydia states remembering she split red wine of the white carpet a few weeks ago when Liam first experienced the full moon.

"There's nothing" Stiles states, "That doesn't make sense, I gave the five hundred dollars I was supposed to use to hire cleaners to Brunski" Lydia states confused.

"Lydia, what the hell does wine have to do with anything?" Stiles asks.

"Red wine doesn't just disappear, unless it wasn't wine" Lydia explains.

"What? What do you mean?" Stiles asks, "The ashes weren't ashes, the study isn't a study, the record player isn't a record player, so maybe the wine wasn't wine" Lydia states in realisation.

"Stiles, you have to find the wine, find the bottle, there could be something about it" Lydia demands urging him to find the wine bottle.

"What kind? What's it called?" Stiles asks, "It's a 1982 Côtes du Rhône" Lydia explains.

Stiles rushes to find the bottle coming back shaking the bottle, "I think there's something inside, do you have, like, a wine opener, or" Stiles says.

Malia grabs the bottle smashing it against the floor seeing a key inside.

Stiles looks at his girlfriend confused before rushing towards the old computer inserting the key and turning everything off.

MARLO LOOKS AROUND SEEING Lori calling out searching for her older brother as she's being targeted by one of the hunters.

"No" Marlo snarls using both of her abilities to rush towards Lori pushing her out of the way feeling the throbbing feeling due to a bullet in her lower back and upper torso.

"Run, go find Brett" Marlo nods wincing from the pain seeing Scott attacking the hunter who shot her repeatedly, allowing the blood thirsty feeling to enter his system.

Scott nonstop attacks the hunter slashing at his throat and chest, "Scott, Scott, hey stop" Marlo says pushing the alpha away from hunter he's trying and close to killing.

"Scott, stop, calm down" Marlo demands using her strength to fight against the alpha.

As a vibrating sound is heard coming from around the warehouse in all different places.

Derek and Isaac look around trying to find Marlo but unable to.

Marlo stands beside Scott who grabs the phone from the previous hunters pocket showing him the message.

The benefactor, all contacts terminated.

Scott looks at Marlo beside him nodding at her as a silent thank you as he was slowly turning into a beast he never wants to become, "I nearly killed him, thank you Mar" Scott says.

Marlo shrugs, "That's what older sister figures are for, even though we aren't biological or share the same parents, you're still my younger brother Scott, I'm always here" Marlo nods embracing the true alpha.

Kira, Isaac and Zara meet up with Marlo and Scott as they walk back towards the meeting place in the middle of the warehouse seeing the deceased hunters on the ground, looking around in confusion.

Derek walks up to Marlo immediately wrapping her in a tight hug, "I'm okay, Der—sorry for disappearing" Marlo nods tightening her hold on her fiancée before hugging Braeden seeing she's okay as well.

"Is it over? Really over?" Kira asks looking at Scott, who nods at her silently.

Marlo looks at Zara seeing her holding her wrist, "Zara, are you okay?" Marlo asks motioning to the girls wrist.

"Yeah, just a sprain, I fell running away, it'll heal eventually" Zara shrugs.

Marlo bites her finger using her blood to close up her wound on her wrist.

"There, don't have to worry about it being sore now" Marlo states.

Zara smiles impressed with her boyfriend's mother figure, "Thank you, Marlo" Zara says softly.

Isaac hugs Marlo glad to see she's okay, just covered in blood from the bullets and scratches.

Marlo looks down feeling an arm wrap around her torso seeing Lori hugging her.

"Thank you Marlo for not breaking your promise and keeping Brett and I together" Lori says.

Marlo smiles and nods looking at Brett, "No worries guys, at all" Marlo explains before standing beside her fiancé once more ready to head to the loft and shower off all of the blood.

"You okay? No more wounds?" Marlo asks checking Derek over as he shakes his head.

"Braeden looked out for me, as promised" Derek shrugs as Braeden smiles.

"Can't break a promise and plus you're my investment, can't lose you anytime soon" Braeden states receiving chuckles from Marlo and Derek.

LYDIA HELPS MEREDITH OUT of the questioning room, "Are you okay? I guess you are, aren't you? For someone who'd put their own name on a hit-list" Lydia states looking at the woman sitting beside her.

"I had to" Meredith states, "Why?" Lydia asks confused.

"Because I heard you, I heard you scream in the tunnels at Oak Creek and at the high school" Meredith explains remembering what Lydia screamed at Allison and Marlo's names before they died.

Only for one of them to come back and be twice as stronger than before, "That's why I knew it was the right time, to start over" Meredith states.

"But with Peter?" Lydia asks, "He's the alpha, he's always been the alpha, he'll make it right, it never was for us, too many people died because of us, we're the monsters, even banshees; even me" Meredith states.

Lydia shakes her head, "I don't believe that, not all monsters do monstrous things" Lydia states, "Like who?" Meredith asks confused.

"Like Scott and Marlo" Lydia states.

Meredith looks at the strawberry blonde, "Like you" Meredith says gently placing her hand on Lydia's cheek.

"Oh, god, what have I done?" Meredith whispers tearfully realising the bad things that have happened over the past couple of weeks with all of the supernatural beings.

༻✦༺

Unaware to everyone else, Peter Hale returns to the underground tunnels, "You look nervous" James states seeing Peter pacing back and forth.

"I'm not nervous, I'm rattled, I don't like being rattled" Peter states.

"But it's over, the Deadpool's done, and, if you need to be reminded, everything else is going exactly your way" Kate says smirking, "Not exactly my way" Peter mutters.

"Maybe every little piece in your game didn't move just as predicted, but they still moved perfectly into place" James states.

Kate and James both look at the former alpha feeling the water droplets landing his hand, "You wanna bail on the plan" Kate states shocked.

"Of course not" Peter says smirking at the married couple, "Not when I'm this close, not when I'm this close to killing Scott McCall and allowing James to ruin Marlo Stilinski-Laureni's life" Peter snarls snapping his hand grabbing onto the water droplet.

James and Kate smirk at one another excited for the next few weeks.
