A/N Saw the finale of Teen Wolf and the season 2 premiere of Grimm. Everything fits within my canon-line of events.
Since I know what is coming next for AGV, all I need to do is write it down. Which isn't difficult at all and I'm getting them to my beta pretty fast. The turn-a-round though is a bit longer since there are at least two revisions before both of us are satisfied.
As always, criticism and comments are greatly appreciated.
I'm working on a fic for the Teen Wolf fanfic contest that MTV is hosting.
A Grimm Visit
Chapter 6
Day three of The Kidnapping started off about the same as day two with Stiles sleeping in.
When he got back to the hotel after the incident with the were-mouse, Stiles went to his laptop and spent hours researching. He heard his cell phone go off with new text messages but whatever issues Scott was having would have to take second place to Stiles'.
The first sites Stiles went through were the ones that he used earlier in the day when he was researching the psychic attacks. This time Stiles thought he would see a better yield because they were in the same genus of were-animal shifters. At least, Stiles thought so.
Turns out that Stiles was wrong. A were-mouse that most people can't see? Nope, no information online. At least not by the description that Stiles was looking for. Especially the part about how the head shook back and forth quickly a couple of times and then a film-like veil was removed over the face and Stiles saw the mouse-like features.
None of that could be used to identify what sort of creature he saw or even why only he saw it.
Stiles' dad arrived back at the hotel not too long after Stiles got back, they ate the food Stiles brought back, his dad didn't complain about it. He actually liked it. Stiles smiled and said he would get some more the next day.
Besides the creepy incident with the were-mouse it seemed that yesterday was a good day. His dad was making progress in his case. Stiles' homework for the week was done. Nothing horrible happened in Beacon Hills except for Scott somehow knowing when Erica was going to have a seizure on the rock-wall after gym class had ended.
Stiles had wondered if Scott knowing about the seizure had something to do with his super-hearing. But Scott had text'd him back saying that he didn't hear it, his hand had shook a bit and he just knew what had happened. Stiles had tried to get Scott to explain more about but he didn't understand it so he couldn't explain it.
Stiles wondered if it was similar to what he felt about the psychic attack. He could feel it happening to him but it was beyond him to be able to describe it more than just an intense feeling of warning to get him out of the room.
Maybe werewolves had not just super-hearing but also the senses of an animal? Sort of like what happens when various animals start acting weird and birds take off flying in droves away from an area seconds to even weeks before an earthquake happens. Some scientists*1 theorize that it has to do with animals able to feel/hear the p-waves*2 before the s-waves*3 while most humans are unable to. There is also the theory*4 that animals who live near groundwater are able to taste the chemical difference in the water caused by the ground shifting underneath or positive ions released into the air causing stress hormones.
Stiles wonders if Scott's hand shaking had to do with him feeling the effects of the epileptic seizure since they are associated with abnormal*5 electric activity in the brain. Some scientists*6 think that sensing earthquakes can be tied to animals' ability to sense changes in electromagnetic waves.
It would be intriguing to test but Stiles isn't sure any of the guys would be willing to submit themselves to the various methods that Stiles would use to try out the theory. If it did work, and he could prove that animals (and werewolves) could sense earthquakes before they hit, he might be able to win a big scientific prize, maybe even a Nobel. He should try to get Lydia to help him with this, with her brains and his inventiveness they might rewrite current scientific theories on earthquakes and earthquake prediction.
Then again, that would require him telling Lydia (and everyone else) about the existence of werewolves because that would be where they would gather their data and that's just a big no-no. In the real world, True Blood happy endings just don't take place. Argents would be popping up all over the place not to the mention the Tea Party, KKK, NOM, and various other hate organizations. Questions about humanity, religion, physiology, biology, evolution and etcetera would be popping up all over the place. Not to mention the terrorists...
Nope, no sharing the information.
But it would be compelling to find out the limits of the werewolves ability to see, hear, taste, and sense and how it differs from humans. Stiles wondered if maybe they are able to see infrared lights or gamma rays...
What would it be like to see the universe through a werewolves eyes? Is it like the difference between analog and high definition, mono sound and stereo?
Would werewolves be able to see things that humans cannot? Like energy or ghosts or maybe what Stiles has been seeing with the weird were-mouse? Would werewolves have been able to sense the psychic attack? Like how Stiles sensed it? Or as another way?
Another thing is why would Stiles be able to see the were-mouse? If Stiles is human and has no supernatural abilities then why was he able to see what the other humans around him couldn't? Is the supernatural contagious? Stiles being around werewolves allowed him to pick up ways to see things other humans can't? Then why did the were-mouse panic like that? Was it because he knew that Stiles could see him and he shouldn't be able to? Or was something else going on?
Stiles didn't know who to turn to for answers. Should he contact Derek? Ask him about the were-mouse? But Derek was persona non grata since Peter and Isaac. Scott wouldn't like it.
Lying down on his bed watching TV while contemplating his life with the supernatural wasn't doing him any good to figure out his problem with the situation and Renard.
That was the crux of the issue. Not just the fact that he was suddenly seeing were-people that other people couldn't but the fact that someone knew something was off about him. Knew that he knew that they were doing something supernatural and that it had to do with Detective Nick Burkhardt.
What was it that made Renard send the psychic attack out and why did he think it had to do with Nick himself?
Stiles looked at the clock and realized it was close to lunch time so he packed up his things and grabbed his wallet and went back to Dingo Baby to grab some food and surf the internet.
The entire time that Stiles was walking there he was looking around to see if he could spot anymore of the glamouring were-mice or other were-animals, but he didn't spot any. Stiles was unsure if this meant anything good or bad, did he imagine it or are there none around him?
The entire time that he was at Dingo Baby he was thinking about the situation and Nick and Renard. Renard knew what was going on but it looked like Nick didn't. Nick also had an aunt who raised him who suddenly had assassins after her blood shortly before she died. Maybe the clues to what was going on lay with the aunt? Marie Kessler.
So Stiles started to dig up what he could about Marie Kessler, but there is only so much you can get online. Stiles searched for public libraries and found one close by. He needed to find more information about Nick and Renard anyway so going to the library was bound to happen. Librarians know ways of finding information.
Getting another take-away meal for him and his dad Stiles left Dingo Baby to go back to the hotel to drop off his food in the little icebox in the room before he headed for the library.
He was nearly back at the hotel when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head and there was someone across the street staring at him. He just standing there and then suddenly his face shifted, but underneath wasn't a face that was like the were-mouse's instead there was something that looked sort of reptilian. It was hard to tell exactly what it looked like from where Stiles was standing, but he knew this was something he'd never seen before and he knew that this guy wanted him to see it.
A chill raced down Stiles' back as he caught the other man's eyes. A bus passed down the street and obscured his sight of the other man and when the bus pass through the man was gone. Not good. Not good at all.
Stiles didn't know if this was just another were-creature he happened to pass in the street and instead of the cowardly were-mouse this man was more confrontational, or if this was someone sent by Renard. To keep an eye on him? To protect him? To intimidate him?
Stiles didn't know, but he needed to find out.
If he just called Renard up he might tell him the truth. But he might also lie to him. He might deny anything of the sort happened when they first met and do something in his power to intimidate Stiles.
From the brief meeting he had with Renard, he came across as someone that was a cross between Alpha!Derek and a more sane Peter Hale. Stiles didn't know which side Renard is on and whether or not Stiles was a chess piece to move or someone in his way.
Stiles did not like this. It felt like he was being watched. Did they know who he was or did they just sense him? Did they know he could see them?
Maybe he should call Derek. The guy could be a bit of a dick but he also came through to help them when they needed it. When Stiles needed it.
Scott, though, wouldn't like it.
Maybe tomorrow if he didn't find anything knew or if things got worse. For now, he would just go back to the hotel, drop off his food, and head to the library.
The whole time he was walking to the hotel he kept glancing around trying to see if he noticed anyone following him. He did the same when he walked to the library. Nothing, no one that seemed out of the ordinary. No one that set his spidey-senses off.
It figured that when it happened it would be in the library after he got some tips from the librarian on where to conduct his search for mythologies, theologies, fantasy, and the supernatural/paranormal books and articles.
He was reaching up his hand to grab a book when he noticed someone, a woman only a few years older than him, to his side skimming through a book in her hands. He was about to ask her what book she was reading – since it might be from the same section he needed to search – when suddenly her face shifted. Her new face was similar to the were-mouse but had subtle differences as well. She caught his eye and her face went pale, bloodless in a way, and she started to back away.
She had dropped the book and as Stiles reached for it to hand it back to her she uttered out a phrase and then took off like the hounds of hell were at her feet. Stiles didn't know what to think. This was the second time someone had shifted in front of him and then ran away from him in fright. Was it typical of the were-mouse genus to do this? But why in front of Stiles? And what did grim have to do with it?
What did she mean by saying grim? Was his face grim? Are they grim? Was it something else? Did he mishear her?
Stiles didn't know. What he did know was that now he had a clue. Grim, it had to mean something. The first were-mouse was stuttering when he ran screaming away from him yesterday. Maybe he was trying to say grim as well? If so, then that makes it two were-mice who were saying the same thing after their faces suddenly shifted in front of him. It had to mean something.
For now, Stiles just concentrated on going through the books at hand in the library. He just added grim to the list of things he was searching the books for.
It was as he was settling in to dig into the books that his phone beeped with a text message. It was Scott. Derek had turned Erica. He was creating his own pack. Like Peter was.
Stiles was unsure how to feel about this. Derek could be going power mad. Maybe being the Alpha changed something in him. Or, maybe he's lonely and wanted a family again. Either way, it set Scott against Derek and Stiles was being forced to choose a side.
If Scott was going to be upset at Stiles seeking help from Derek before, he was going to be livid now.
Sitting down on the ground with his back leaning against the bookcase, Stiles sighed and wondered what he was going to do now about his were-creature issue.
