MIAH SITS on the backseat of Stiles's jeep with Brett's head lying on her legs.

"Keep holding on. As much as you're a dick─ you didn't deserve this." Miah whispers looking down at Brett's unconscious body.

"We're nearly there." Stiles states from the drivers seat focusing on the drive to the animal clinic where Deaton is expecting them.

Miah also rang her dad and Derek in a hurry knowing they're going to need help once Brett regains consciousness.

Brett gasps awake on Miah's lap, "No! No. Don't throw up in my jeep!" Stiles shrieks helping Miah carry the teenager into the clinic seeing Deaton, Joel and Derek all waiting for their arrival.

Miah gasps watching Brett suddenly begin convulsing with yellow liquid foam coming from his mouth.

"What the hell is happening to this kid?" Stiles questions freaked out holding Brett's shoulders down on the table.

"He's been poisoned by a rare wolfsbane. I need to make an incision. And you need to hold him as still as possible." Deaton informs looking at the people around the clinic.

Miah nods before muttering under her breath forming an aura of reddish pink fog to surround them.

"Hey Derek? Joel, how about a little werewolf strength?" Stiles suggests.

"I'm a hunter. My werewolf side hasn't been used in years Stiles!" Joel snarls annoyed with the teenager.

"Yeah. I'm not the only one here with werewolf strength." Derek mutters unable to keep Brett still.

Miah steps beside both her father and uncle placing her hand firmly on Brett's chest using her aura to keep the male completely still on the table.

"If you can't hold him still. The incision might kill him." Deaton explains.

"He's waking up!" Stiles shrieks seeing Brett's eyes flutter open looking around the room panicked before seeing Miah stepping under the light.

A fist makes contact with Brett's cheek knocking the male unconscious once again.

"That wasn't necessary!" Joel states looking at his uncle pissed.

"I guess I still have a little werewolf strength myself." Peter shrugs.

"Yeah, maybe more than a little. Like Joel said that wasn't necessary. Miah had control of the situation." Derek mutters motioning to the blonde standing facing Brett growing panicked.

"Hey, Doc? I don't think he's breathing." Stiles informs also taking notice of the lack of Brett's chest rising and falling.

Deaton rushes towards them cutting down Brett's chest allowing the yellow wolfsbane to turn into dust.

Brett gasps breathless while Miah runs her hands alongside his hairline comfortingly.

"Is he okay?" Stiles wonders hearing the males relaxed breathing and seeing Miah take down the aura spell around the male.

"I think he'll be fine. He'll probably be out for a little while." Deaton explains seeing Miah nod feeling the exhaustion coming from Brett.

"Guys, can you hear that? I think he's saying something." Stiles mumbles leaning down to Brett's lips hearing a low muttering.

"The sun, the moon, the truth. The sun, the moon, the truth." Brett repeats shocking the three Hale men surrounding one another.

"'Three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth'. It's buddhist." Deaton explains looking at Joel who scoffs under his breath looking at his uncle and brother in annoyance.

"Satomi." Peter mutters, "Son of a bitch!" Joel mutters under his breath seeing Miah looking at him confused.

Miah looks at her phone feeling it vibrate in her pocket seeing a text message from Scott asking how everything's going.

Said girl replies explaining things have calmed down and Brett will make a full recovery and that she'll be at his house very shortly.

After letting herself into the McCall house seeing Melissa sitting at the kitchen table crying.

Miah comforts the woman she considers her mother-in-law for a while before excusing herself and walking into her boyfriend's bedroom seeing him waiting for her in bed.

Miah happily changes into one of Scott's hoodies and her sweatpants and climbs into said males bed snuggling into his naked chest letting sleep overtake their senses and prepare for school in the morning.

✹

WALKING INTO school beside Malia sitting beside one another in class.

"Has anyone seen Stiles, Lydia, or Kira today?" Ms Flemming questions not receiving any responses.

"Miah? Malia? Any idea where your friends are?" Ms Flemming questions.

"No. I'm sorry." Miah responds looking at Malia, "I could try catching their scent." Malia shrugs seeing Miah face palm.

"Right. How about I just mark them down as absent?" Ms Flemming states seeing Miah nod and look down at her notebook for notes.

"Little bug." Joel whispers capturing his daughter's attention, "Malia." Derek whispers.

"Okay. Everyone. Let's begin with last night's homework." Ms Flemming suggests seeing Miah looking around hearing her father's voice and packing up her belongings along with Malia doing the same.

"Miah. Malia." Derek whispers from the hallway, Miah stands up walking out of the classroom confusing Ms Flemming.

"Miah. Malia. Do you both need to be excused from class?" Ms Flemming questions.

"Sorry. Yeah." Miah nods not even looking at the teacher hearing Malia scoff and mutter yeah before following her out of the classroom towards the hallway.

"Dad? What are you doing here?" Miah frowns seeing Joel and Derek standing together.

"What are you doing here?" Malia asks sharing the same confusion with Miah.

"Brett's still out of it. I need to find his pack and warn them about the Deadpool." Derek explains.

"Okay." Miah shrugs standing beside her father and uncle.

"You both have Miah. So... what do you need me for?" Malia questions.

"I know a little something about this pack. They have a kind-of secret meeting place in the woods. No one's spent more time in the woods of Beacon Hills than you." Derek states nodding at Joel to toss the were-coyote the jersey.

"This is Brett's. Breathe it in." Joel demands gently, "I'm not good at that yet." Malia explains looking at Miah unsure.

"Try it. Joel and I will teach you. Focus on the different scents. Some are tied to identity. Others give off an emotion." Derek explains motioning for Malia to sniff the jersey.

Miah nods smiling at her friend who sighs and does as told gesturing for the four of them to leave the school and drive towards the woods.

Arriving at the preserve in Joel and Derek's vehicles, Miah leans against Derek's window ready to listen to her father and uncle explain things to them.

"Their alpha is a woman called Satomi. She's one of the oldest werewolves alive... and she's learned a lot." Derek explains.

"What does that mean?" Miah asks, "She's a bitten werewolf. Learning control wasn't easy for her. She did something a long time ago that changed her." Joel voices looking at his daughter and Malia catching a unpleasant scent before also catching the scent as well.

"What is it?" Derek asks confused, "Gunpowder." Malia states seeing Miah picking up an empty shell casing and showing her dad and Derek.

"If Brett's pack is out here. I don't think they're meeting. They're hiding." Derek reveals in realisation looking at the empty bullet Miah just handed him.

After a while of searching the woods Miah and Joel's phones ring in their pockets.

Miah gasps shocked at the message from Isaac, "Come on. I'll take you." Joel suggests seeing Miah nod and look at Derek and Malia apologetically.

"Scott's injured." Joel explains rushing after the blonde who's running towards her father's vehicle to drive them both to the animal clinic where Chris and Isaac are meeting them.

"Where is he? Is he okay?" Miah shrieks seeing Isaac waiting for her at the door.

"His inside but just be warned. A berserker attacked him and a knife is stuck in his torso." Isaac states.

Miah nods running inside seeing her boyfriend unconscious on the examination table beside Deaton.

"Garrett is dead by the way and we don't know where Liam is." Isaac voices.

"Wait what? Liam's missing?" Miah exclaims suddenly feeling overwhelmed hearing about the young boy who's missing.

"Garrett kidnapped him and nicked him with wolfsbane." Chris explains to the nervous blonde mage hybrid.

Scott groans beside her coming to from being knocked unconscious, "Hey there. I was actually hoping you'd be out for a few more minutes." Deaton voices.

"Hey. Baby.... you're okay." Miah softly comforts smiling at the male who groans in pain seeing the bone knife injected into his side.

"Scott? This is going to hurt." Chris mumbles grabbing a hold of the bone knife and ripping it out of Scott's torso quickly.

Scott groans in agony moving across the table, "Hey... you're okay. Calm down baby." Miah soothes seeing Scott calm down leaning against the metal table.

"You all right?" Chris questions, "Where's my dad? And the Sheriff?" Scott asks worriedly.

"They're at the hospital. They're both doing fine. Hold this." Deaton explains handing Scott a gaze which Miah immediately grabs placing it on the healing wound.

Scott grunts in pain hearing Miah mumble an apology and look at him anxiously.

"Mmhmm. It was Kate. It was her and the berserkers." Scott explains grabbing a hold of Miah's free hand feeling Miah rub circles gently.

Said male inhales her scent immediately feeling himself healing and calming down.

"We know. But, they move fast. And they don't leave much in the way of tracks." Chris responds.

"We have to find her. She's got Violet. I think Violet knows where Liam is." Scott voices looking at Miah who nods at him.

"Then... as much as this hurt. It could probably also help. Can you guys get a scent?" Deaton questions holding up the bone knife and motioning for Scott, Isaac and Miah to use it to catch a scent.

✹

AFTER CATCHING Kate and the berserkers unpleasant scent.

Miah, Scott, Joel, Isaac and Chris all stand outside the warehouse, "You've been here before?" Scott questions noticing both hunters looks.

"I worked here. We used to own the building. It was part of our business." Argent explains.

"I also worked here before I met your mother bug. We left Beacon Hills after we had you and your brother." Joel voices.

"Miah and I have fought these things before. They're strong. Really strong. Although Mi happened to fight them off." Scott states seeing Miah shrug and smirk flashing her magic in her eyes ready for the incoming fight.

"That's why I brought this and Joel brought his famous weapon." Chris explains grabbing a gun from the backseat and Joel shows his gun to the teenagers who nod.

"I'm good with that." Scott says nervously looking at the others who shrug before walking into the warehouse watching their surroundings.

Miah gently grabs a hold of Scott's hand sensing Kate ahead of them, "You shouldn't have come." Kate's voice echoes from ahead of them.

"Kate... I'm here for Violet. I need to talk to her." Scott explains, "I knew you'd find me. But... I was hoping we could do this later. I just needed a little more time." Kate says.

"For what?" Chris asks, "To learn control." Kate explains sending shivers down Miah's spine.

"Lower the gun. We walk away and you don't have to get hurt." Kate suggests.

Miah flashes her were-coyote eyes along with her mage aura preparing for a fight noticing Isaac looking at her with the same look.

"Where's Violet?" Scott questions firmly, "Put the gun down, Chris. You too Joel." Kate demands.

"Where is she?" Scott mutters earning a low growl from the berserkers.

Chris places his finger on the trigger earning looks from all of the teenagers and Joel who has his gun raised at the woman.

"This is gonna turn bad. Get ready." Miah whispers looking at Isaac and Scott.

Kate growls feeling the threat of the weapon signalling for the berserkers to run at them alerting Chris and Joel to start firing the bullets.

"No. No. No! No!" Scott shouts hearing Chris yell at pissed off.

"Not today." Miah taunts sending Kate flying away from her and the berserkers as well with a wave of her magic.

Kate looks at the blonde in shock seeing her flashing her blue eyes the berserkers in warning.

Kate grunts snatching the gun off her brother and shoving him into one of the tables.

Miah shoves another berserker away from her and Scott seeing as the two of them stand together while Isaac and Joel stand back to back with one another.

Scott grunts feeling a hard hand coming in contact with his face and seeing Miah fall to the ground with one of the berserkers on top of her.

"Get the fuck off me you smelly piece of shit!" Miah snarls forming another ball of chaos magic and throwing the berserker away from her seeing Scott staring at something or more so someone─ Violet dead in another room after being thrown by the berserker attacking him.

Miah grunts feeling a bone knife slice through her thigh, said girl looks at the creature pissed off and sends it flying towards Kate.

"No!" Kate roars at the berserker noticing one of them trying to kill her older brother.

Joel groans standing up from being knocked onto the ground beside Isaac who helps the man stand up.

Joel rushes over to his daughter noticing her still standing, "Are you okay bug?" Joel wonders seeing Miah nod and smile at him.

"Fine. Are you?" Miah huffs hearing Joel chuckle and embrace her in a hug seeing Chris being helped up by Scott.

Miah walks towards the two of them grabbing ahold of her boyfriend's hand gently.

"Scott. I'm sorry." Chris mumbles breathlessly from the fight.

"I'm not going to find him." Scott weakly responds confusing Miah who shakes her head in denial, "There's still time, Scott. There's still time." Chris states.

Miah frowns hearing whispers around her once more before walking towards the door to the warehouse with a confused look on her face hearing a roar in the distance.

Miah doesn't hesitate in following the sound of the roar along with Scott who sprints out recognising the growl as Liam's directly behind his girlfriend's running figure who transforms into her coyote form.

Scott and Miah both arrive at the preserve noticing a well in the distance and grunts and panicked breathing coming from inside of it.

Sensing his about to fall Miah rushes forwards forming a ball of aura magic holding the male in the air so Scott can latch onto his hand.

Scott grunts lifting Liam out of the well holding onto his weak and fragile figure, "You're okay Liam. You're okay." Scott whispers seeing Miah smiling at him.

"We need to get him to Deaton's as soon as possible to have that poison removed." Miah ushers gesturing for them to follow after her hearing her father's car engine in the distance.

Scott nods helping Liam walk towards the car helping said make into the vehicle and driving towards the clinic in a rush.

Miah stands beside Scott while Deaton makes an incision down Liam's chest to get the yellow wolfsbane from the young wolf's chest.

"I don't want to keep watching people die." Scott voices firmly holding Miah in his arms against his chest.

"I'm not sure you have much choice about that." Chris comments.

"Maybe I do." Scott mutters looking down at Miah who gently smiles before wiping Liam's forehead.

"That's a lot of burden to carry, Scott." Joel and Deaton both state looking at one another.

"I don't care. No one else dies. Everyone on that list. Everyone on that Deadpool. It doesn't matter if they're wendigos, or werewolves, or whatever. I'm gonna save everyone." Scott mutters firmly.

"I'll gladly help." Miah comments smiling at her boyfriend before looking at everyone in the examination room.

"Me too." Isaac speaks up firmly, "Same." Joel mutters looking at his daughter with a firm nod since she's still the number one target on that list.

✹

MIAH SITS on Scott's bed looking down at both Scott and Stiles sitting on the floor before the gym bag full of money from Garrett's locker.

"You counted it yet?" Stiles wonders, "No." Scott mumbles looking at Miah and then Stiles, "We should probably count it." Stiles states.

Miah stands up from the bed sitting down on the floor beside both males watching the two of the tip the bag of money onto the floor below them hearing a tape hit the floor.

Miah picks it up looking at it seeing it labeled with 'play me' on one of the labels.

Scott looks at her shock before looking at Stiles sharing the same look with each other.
