Chapter Text
Four months ago
Kira stabs her katana through the Nogitsune’s chest and he falls down on his knees looking paler than ever. He looks up and starts laughing “It’s too late, you can’t stop it”
“What?” Scott asks, his voice wavering.
Just as he was about to say something else there is a big explosion from outside “What did you do!” Scott yells. The Nogitsune keeps laughing as his face starts to crack and he falls to the floor turning into dust.
Stiles staggers back, suddenly feeling a wave of dizziness. He looks around the room, everything was suddenly blurry. The last thing he remembers is an awful coldness and someone screaming his name, then everything went black.
Present day
Stiles jumps in his jeep and quickly drives to Lydia’s lake house. Scott accidently turned a freshman named Liam yesterday and today was a full moon, so they had Kira tell him there was a party to trick him into coming so that they can restrain him so he doesn’t hurt anybody. Stiles wished they didn’t have to deal with anymore supernatural drama, but Beacon Hills wouldn’t be Beacon Hills without it.
You see, four months ago everyone’s lives changed for the worse. The nemeton sent out a burst of energy; no doubt caused by the Nogitsune to complicate everyone’s lives even more, that gave some of the Beacon Hills residents supernatural abilities. Though these abilities they have been given are not like the usual ones possessed by supernatural creatures, they are the kind of powers you’d see in a comic book. On top of that they recently found out that Kate Argent is still alive and is now a were-jaguar thanks to Peter scratching her.
A little while after the Nogitsune was defeated Stiles found out that he was affected by the nemeton explosion. At first, he thought he was getting a cold but in turns out it was something more.
*flashback*
Stiles just got back from school, as he walked through the door he sees his dad sitting at the table going through case files. “Hey dad” Stiles greets. His dad looks up from what he was reading and smiles “Hey Stiles, I thought you were going to Scott’s house after school.” his dad asks. “I was but I’ve been having hot and cold flashes all day and I just want to go to bed, I think I may be getting a cold.”
Stiles trudges up the stairs and throws his bag on the floor by his desk. He put his pajamas on then climbs into bed when he hears a knock on the door. His dad comes in carrying a bowl of soup. “Thanks dad” he says when his dad hands it to him. “Feel better, if you need anything I’ll be downstairs.” His dad says as he walks out of his room.
He lifts the spoon to his mouth and just as he puts the spoonful in his mouth he notices that its all ice. Shocked, he looks down at the bowl to notice that its also all ice. What the hell? He gets up, suddenly feeling better and sets the bowl and spoon on his desk only to notice that theres frost coming out of his hands. Freaked out he suddenly runs to the bathroom kicking the door closed on his way in. He stares at himself in the mirror for a couple seconds processing what just happened then looks down at his hands still producing a little bit of frost and starts counting his fingers. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9….10, this was real. No, no, no, no, no, he was starting to freak out. He never wanted powers, he was the human of the pack, could he still be classified as a human? Just cause the nemeton gave him powers doesn’t mean he isn’t human anymore right? His hands start trembling and his heart starts pounding really fast, his breaths are coming in sharp and shallow and everything starts to get blurry. He was having a panic attack.
He slowly sinks to the floor and puts his knees to his chest keeping is hands out in front of him. He doesn’t know how long he sits there before he hears a knock on the door. “Stiles are you ok in there?” his dad asks. Stiles quickly gathers his thoughts and replys “Yeah dad I’ll be out in a minute.” He looks at his hands and finds frost still coming out of them. He focuses hard on trying to make it stop, feeling the way the frost makes his hands feel and trying to gain control over it. Once it finally stops he stands up and looks around, making sure he didn’t freeze anything on the floor. With one final took in the mirror he opens the door only to see his dad standing there with a worried expression on his face. “Are you ok?” his dad asks. “Yeah dad, I’m fine” he replies casually, hoping his dad doesn't notice anything off about him. With that he walks back into his room and closes the door. He decides he doesnt want anyone to know about this, at least not yet.
*flashback ended*
He arrives at the Lake house and walks in through the door, everyone is standing there except Kira and Liam who are on their way. “So how are we going to do this?” he asks.
“I have a plan” Scott replies.
“Let’s hope it’s better than your last one” Stiles says remembering how Scott kidnapped Liam and taped him up in his bathtub. “Oh, by the way I looked into Liam’s past and found out why he got kicked out of his old school, apparently he got in a fight with a teacher and he attacked his car with a crowbar.” Stiles explains showing them a picture of the car that was smashed and dented with the words “THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT” scratched across the passenger sides.
~~
When Liam arrives, he gets angry when he sees everyone standing there. They try to explain the situation to him again and he asks what they all are. He then turns to Stiles and askes “What are you?” Stiles stands staring at him for a couple seconds deciding the best way to reply to that.
“For a while I was possessed by an evil spirit. It was very evil” he replies
“What are you now” he asks again. What was he now? Stiles asks himself, not knowing what to say to this question. He wasn’t the Nogitsune anymore but he also wasn’t exactly human anymore either. He suddenly realizes everyone was staring at him waiting for an answer so he quickly replies with “Better?”
Liam then notices the chains on the coffee table and asks if they’re for him.
“They’re for me” Malia says flashing her blue werewolf eyes.
Liam is getting angry now because they keep telling him he is a werewolf and the moon will affect him “Full moons already out”
“And your starting to feel something aren’t you?” Scott asks
“I feel like I’m surrounded by a bunch of psychotic nut jobs” he growls. “You guys are out of your freaking minds! I don’t know how you did that eye thing! And I don’t care! IM WALKING OUT THE DOOR RIGHT NOW AND IF ANY OF YOU TRY TO STOP ME I SWEAR TO GOD IM GONNA- AHHHH” he screams clutching his ears hearing all the noises around him.
Scott listens in and hears a bunch of people outside “did you tell someone about this?” Lydia asks
“My friend Mason” Liam grunts, suddenly feeling very overwhelmed “You said it was a party”
“And who did Mason invite?” Stiles asked
“Everyone” Kira cuts in looking out the window to see a bunch of people heading to the door.
Liam is starting to transform and starts scratching the floor “Get him off the floor!” Lydia yells remembering what her mom said about the scratches earlier. “We need to get him to the boat house” Scott says ask he and Kira pick him up off the floor and begin leading him away.
Stiles is standing in the corner of the room when suddenly Malia falls over and begins and begins turn “Stiles” she growls. Oh no, Stiles leads her down to the basement “What am I supposed to do about the people?” Lydia asks
“Who throws the best parties in Beacon Hills?” Stiles replies
“What? Me, obviously”
“So, throw a party” he says before he leaves with Malia.
Lydia opens the door “Are we at the right place for the party” they ask. Lydia hesitates a bit before she forces a smile and replies “Absolutely” they all cheer and walk in her house.
~~
Stiles fastens restraints of Malia while deep in thought. What if he will have to be restrained like this if he turns evil? Not that he wants to turn evil but he feels like the Nogitsune had to of possessed him for a reason. What if it saw that he had a darkness in him which would make him a perfect host? What if him becoming- he gets pulled out of his thoughts by Malia screaming at him “Leave!”
“No Malia I’m not going anywhere”
“Stiles, please go”
“It’s ok I hate parties, it’s a social anxiety thing, you ever had a panic attack?”
“I’m having one now” she groans as she reaches her claws out at him.
“Breath, ok I’m not going to leave you”
“What if I hurt you?” she asks
“You’re not going to” he reassures her
“But I want to” she struggles “I want to crush your face, I want to tear it, I want to feel your bones crack between my hands!”
“Surprisingly enough you’re not the first person to ever say something like that.” he tells her “I’m not leaving you ok, I’m not going to let you hurt anyone”
The restraints start to break causing Stiles to panic. What if she gets out and attacks him and he loses control and hurts her, he can’t really control his powers as it is, let alone if someone was attacking him.
“You’re not going to have a choice.” she says and starts growling at him, getting one hand free.
“Malia, I know you can hear me just listen to my voice.”
“Listen to mine” she growls “Run!”
“I’m not going to run, because I don’t think you’re going to hurt me. And I think that maybe you’re so afraid of hurting me, because of what you did to your family. I know what that’s like, when I was possessed by the Nogitsune I remember everything I did, and the worst part is I remember liking it, because I felt powerful, I felt fearless, and most of all in control. But when I came through it I learned something else, control is over ratted.” He unchains Malia and she starts to attack him but then she gains control “You did it.” he says and then pulls her in for a hug.
~~
The pack all arrive at Scott’s house after he brought Liam home because Lydia says she knows the key to break the code. After they all walk in and settle down on the couch Lydia pulls out her laptop, inputs the word ALLISON and hits the enter key on her laptop. A list of names and numbers scroll down the screen.

They all were looking at the screen in shock. “What is this” Scott asked still looking at the screen. “It’s a list of all the supernatural creatures in Beacon Hills, and we’re all on it” Lydia replies
“I’m not on it” Malia quickly intervenes
“Not yet, this is only one third of the list” Lydia informs them.
“Stiles are you related to someone supernatural who lives in Beacon hills?” Kira asks gesturing to the last name on the list.
Stiles gaped at her not knowing what to say. Was this how they were going to find out about his powers, he wasn’t ready for them to know yet. He knew they wouldn’t think of him as a freak or whatever, because they could all be considered freaks by ‘normal’ people. But he just doesn’t want them to be afraid of him or look at him differently. His biggest fear is that he is going to remind them of the Nogitsune now that he has powers.
“That’s his real name.” Scott cuts in, looking at the screen, then his best friend, and back at the screen. OH NO stiles thinks, he can feel the panic creeping up on him and knows some of the pack can sense it too because Derek is looking at him in curiosity. He really hopes they aren’t putting the pieces together.
“So why is his name on the list? I thought he was human” Malia adds
“Maybe he secretly has powers and hasn’t told us about them” Scott jokes. Stiles heart starts beating faster and he hopes they don’t notice.
“What?!” he chokes out, trying to control his breathing without making it noticeable, so he doesn’t have a panic attack.
“Woah calm down Stiles, it was a joke.” Reassures Scott. He knows that Stiles is still sensitive regarding the whole Nogitsune situation, and mentioning him having powers probably brought back memories.
“I know right! Me, skinny defenceless Stiles having powers! Crazy right! He exclaimes trying his best to sound like he wasn’t panicking. “But if you did you would tell us right?” Derek questions.
“Of course.” Stiles lies focusing on keeping his heart beat steady, but Derek still looked unsure. “But why is he on the list?” Malia asks
“Maybe because he was possessed by the Nogitsune. I mean it was a pretty powerful supernatural creature.” Kira suggests. They all seem to consider this and accept it “I’ll ask my mom about it tomorrow” she adds.
“Ok” Stiles hesitated. It was a miracle he got through that without completely freaking out. At least the pack still don’t know his secret….yet.
