Wren sat in-between Scott and Stiles on the couch in the Sheriff's Office. Stilinski and Agent McCall standing in front of them. "So when did you get there?" Agent McCall asked. "At the same time." Stiles answered.
"At the same time as who?"
"At the same time as me." Scott answered, pointing at himself and his father raised his eyebrows, "By coincidence?" He asked.
"What do you mean coincidence?" Stiles asked, "That's what I'm asking you. The three of you arrived at the same time. Was that coincidence?"
"Are you asking me?"
"I think he's asking me."
"I think he's asking both of you." Wren said, "Okay, let me answer the questions." He said then stopped when he realised his mistake. Wren chuckled quietly, raising her eyebrows at him as he sighed. "Let me ask the questions. Just so I have this absolutely clear. Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school. Someone left him a coded message on the blackboard telling him to kill Kira. Then Barrow took Kira to a power substation and tied her up with the intent of electrocuting her, which blacked out the entire town." He asked and they all nodded.
"Sounds about right."
"How did you know he'd take her to a power station?" He asked and Stiles shrugged nonchalantly, "Well, 'cause he was an electrical engineer. So where else would he take her?"
"That's one hell of a deduction there, Stiles."
"Yeah, what can I say? I take after my pops. He's in law enforcement." Stiles said winking at his dad who snorted then covered it up with a cough. "Stiles, just, uh...Just answer the man."
"Look, we made a good guess." Stiles said with a slight shrug Agent McCall sighed then turned to his son and Kira, "What were the two of you doing?"
"Eating pizza." "Eating sushi."
"Eating sushi." "Eating pizza."
"Eating sushi and pizza." They said together slowly and Agent McCall nodded slowly. "You believe this?" McCall asked, turning to Stilinski, "To be honest, I haven't believed a word Stiles has said since he learned how to speak. But I think these kids found themselves in the right place at the right time and that girl sitting there is very lucky for it."
"Kira, is that how you remember it?" McCall asked and everyone turned to stare at her making her suck in a deep breath and nod, "Yes. Could I get my phone back now?" Kira asked and he sighed and shook his head, "Sorry, but no. Kira, a deputy is going to take you home. But we'll need you to fill out some paperwork first."

Wren ran into Allison's apartment after getting a frantic call from Allison. "What happened?" Wren asked as she ran up to Allison and Argent who was trying to get Allison's door open. "I don't know. We heard yelling the door slammed shut." Allison said and Argent finally got the door open.
Wren quickly ran over to Isaac who was on the ground shivering, "He's freezing cold." She said as she gently grabbed his face. "Isaac? Look at me. Isaac?" Argent said as he made Isaac look at him, the boy looking completely terrified. "What's happening to him?" Allison asked as she grabbed Wren's arm, "Isaac, come on. Isaac, listen- you have to turn." Argent said before smacking Isaac.
"Look at me. You need to trigger it! Come on! Turn! Turn! Turn!" Argent said as his slaps turned into punches until Isaac looked at them with glowing eyes. He quickly pushed away from them, sitting against the bed frame with tears in his eyes.
"Did you see them?" He asked in a slight whisper making Wren furrowed her brows, "Who?" She asked as she grabbed his hand. "There were five of them... They wore black... I couldn't- I couldn't see their faces, they were covered..." Isaac said, a couple tears falling down his face as he held tightly on Wren's hand
"What do you mean? Like, masks?" Allison asked and Isaac stared past them, "One of them... I could see his eyes... They were greenish-yellow, like a-like a firefly..." Isaac said making Argent's eyes widen slightly before he got up and walked over to the window. "Security system wasn't triggered." Argent said making Allison look at him while Wren moved closer to Isaac, gently wiping the tears from his face.
"Then how did they get in?" Allison asked and Isaac shook his head slightly, "They didn't. It was like they came out of the shadows." He said and Allison furrowed her brows when Argent seemed to know what Isaac was talking about. "Do you know what that means? Dad...?" She asked making him look at her, "Um... I'm not sure." He said before walking over to them.
"Listen, the three of you... I need you to keep this quiet for a few hours." He said and Isaac looked up at him, "From everyone?" He asked. "Just twenty-four hours." He said and Wren looked at him, "They could have killed him." She said in a slight whisper and he nodded.
"But they didn't... And I think there's a reason why... I think they might have been after me." He said making the three teens glance at each other as he walked away.

"Class starts in five minutes! Just because there's no power, don't expect there to be no school!" Coach says through a megaphone as he passes Stiles. "That was a triple negative. Very impressive, Coach." Stiles said as Wren walked up to her locker next to his, "Copy that."
Stiles looked at Wren before groaning, "Happy Halloween." She said, proudly wearing her Hufflepuff Hogwarts robe. "I was hoping you forgot about that deal." He said and she smiled, "I never forget anything... besides my dreams and visions." She said and he chuckled as he opened his locker.
"So what, how I have to wear mind whenever we watch Harry Potter?" He asked and she nodded, "What house is it again?" He asked and she gave him a look. "Ravenclaw." She said and he nodded, "Right." He said before going to pull a book out but something fell out.
"Hello... Where did you come from?" He muttered as he looked down at a key, "Are you talking to your key?" Wren asked and he shrugged. "I dont recognize this key." He said and she looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Did you copy someone's keys again and you just don't remember it?" She said and he shook his head before glancing over at the school doors as Scott walked in. The second he walked in, his eyes met Kira's but she quickly sucked in a deep breath and turned around before going over to her locker down the hall.
"No. No, stop! Stop!" Stiles says as he grabbed Scott, stopping him from going over to Kira. "What? I need to talk to her." Scott said and Stiles shook his head, "No, you need to remember someone left a coded message telling Barrow to kill her." Stiles said.
"Which is why I need to talk to her-"
"Scott, no way! Until we figure out if she's just another psychotic monster that's going to start murdering everybody, I vote against any and all interaction!" Stiles said and Wren raised her eyebrows, "I highly doubt she's a psychotic monster that's gonna start killing everybody." She making Stiles look at her. "How do you know?" Stiles asked and she raised her eyebrows at him, "Because we've seen psychotic monsters, she's not one." Wren said and Scott nodded in agreement.
"What if she's like me?" Scott asked and Stiles shook his head, "That girl walked through one point twenty one jigawatts of electricity. She's not like you." Stiles said.

"Okay, this one will get you into all of the perimeter doors." Stiles says handing Scott a key card, "This one into the evidence room. And this one's for my father's office." Stiles says handing Scott two more. "You didn't steal these, did you?" Scott asked, looking at Stiles wide eyed.
"No, I cloned them using the RFID emulator." Stiles said making Wren squint at him. "That's worse than stealing." She said and he pursed his lips, "It's smarter." He said looking over at her and she hummed and nodded sarcastically.
"Scott, can I ask you something?" Kira asked, pulling Scott away from the jeep making Stiles scoff. "Okay, I'll just..." He trailed off awkwardly making Wren chuckle. A few seconds later Scott and Kira walk back over to the jeep.
"Okay. So, now almost everybody's out dealing with the blackout, but there's always somebody at the front desk- there's dispatch and usually a night-shifter or two. You guys are gonna use the service entrance by the dumpster, all right? Nobody uses it. Now, I'll text you if anyone comes out, but Scott, if you get caught, I can't help you. My dad's under investigation for an impeachment because of your dad, so... if anything happens, I will run and leave you both for dead." Stiles said and then Wren leaned over him to peek her head out his window.
"And that's why I'm here. I have a lot of quotes from crime books read on hand to distract." Wren said and Scott nodded. "Got it. Thanks. Seriously, dude." Scott said looking at Stiles and Wren sat back down. "I'd ask my dad, but you know."
"No, I know. I get it." Scott said nodding, "All right. Just, uh... hurry up." Stiles says and they nodded and walked away while Stiles sat back. He glanced over at Wren who was already writing in her journal, "Am I ever gonna be able to read what you write?" Stiles asked and Wren nodded.
"Once I'm done with it." She said and he groaned slightly, "You've been writing it for a while now. How far are you in it?" He asked and she pursed her lips. "Chapter four." Wren said and he raised his eyebrows, "You've been writing for almost a year and you're only on chapter four?" He asked and she shrugged in defense.
"They're long chapters!" She said and he chuckled and shook his head slightly while she went back to writing. He leaned over slightly, trying to look over the journal making her snap it shut before hitting the top of his head with it. "Ow!" He said dramatically while rubbing his head making her laugh.
All of the sudden a pair of headlights shined infront of them making them look over to see McCall pull in. "Shit." Wren mumbled before taking off her Hogwarts robe and quickly climbing out, "What are you doing?" Stiles asked as Wren ran around to the other side if the jeep as he texted Scott. "Gonna distract him." She said and he sighed, "Okay, I am so going to regret this." He said before opening his door and climbing out. "You don't have to come." Wren said as they started walking towards the door.
"Do you know what you're gonna say besides book quotes?" He asked and she pursed her lips, "Not really, you?" She asked and he shook his head. "Nope. Hey, hey! Wow! Thank God you are here! Oh, boy! Thank the lord!" Stiles said, running into the station and over to Agent McCall.
"What do you guys want?" Agent McCall sighed, "Oh, jeez." He muttered glancing over at Wren whose eyes widened slightly. "We huh had an idea. About the case." She quickly said and Stiles nodded, "We were thinking we should clue you in on our thinking. Here's our thinking. I was thinking this." Stiles rambled as he snapped his fingers while both Agent McCall and Wren looked at him weird.
"I was thinking that Barrow, right...?Barrow received the information about who to kill at the school, right? You know that? So, I was thinking, maybe the person who gave him that information- check this out- might actually be someone at the school. And that's, uh, my thinking..." Stiles rambled until Wren lightly pinched him arm to tell him to stop talking.
"Hmm." Agent McCall hummed while nodding, "You're right." He said making both Stiles and Wren raised their eyebrows. "I am?" Stiles asked and Agent McCall nodded, "Yep. We, uh... We started looking for links between Barrow, faculty, and students last night." Agent McCall said making Wren purse her lips.
"So, you already know that stuff then?" She asked and he nodded, "Your dad did." He said looking at Stiles. "His one useful suggestion." Agent McCall commented as he sipped his card to the evidence room while Wren and Stiles glared at him.
"You know, this attitude that you have toward my dad? You can dress it up to all the professional disapproval that you want... But I know the real reason why you don't like him." Stiles says and Agent McCall chuckled softly, "Is that so?"
"Yeah... Because he knows something that you don't want him to know. And guess what? I know it too. We both do." He said gesturing slightly to Wren making Agent McCall glance between them obviously slightly nervous. "Go home, you guys. There's a-there's a curfew." He said before walking into evidence.
Stiles and Wren glanced at each other before walking out and over to the jeep right as Kira and Scott ran over. "We did it! All the pics deleted!" Scott said and Kira smiled excitedly, "That was awesome! I mean, terrifying- completely terrifying! But kind of awesome. I've never done anything like that before. Have you?" She asked and Scott, Stiles and Wren looked at each other.
"Once or twice." Wren said making Kira hum. "So, I guess I should take you home..." Scott sighed and Kira's smile faded making Wren pinch Scott's arm and give him a look as Kira walked back to the bike. "Ask her if she wants to give to a party dumbass." Wren whispered harshly making Scott's eyes widen slightly before walking over to his bike.
"Feel like going to a party?" Wren asked turned to Stiles with a smile. "Yeah, sure!" He said before climbing into the jeep making her chuckle and run over to the passenger side.

'It just showed up there on my key ring this morning. I asked my dad if he put it there, but he said he didn't know anything about it." Stiles says as they walked up the stairs to the loft. "It's just a key, right?" Scott asked and Stiles shrugged, "Yeah, but it's not mine. And I don't know it got there, or what it's for."
"You want to leave so we can figure it out?" Scott asked. "Uhh.." Stiles tailed off as they walked up to the door way of the loft to see a bunch of people covered in UV activated body paint, a DJ, and strobe lights. They all looked around slightly shocked and Wren hummed slightly. "Derek's gonna kill him." She said as she glanced around before seeing Isaac standing off to the side.
"I'll see you guys later." She said before walking over to her boyfriend, "Have you see Scott?" He asked as she walked up to him. "I came with him, Stiles and Kira." She said and he nodded slightly, "You tell him what happened?" He asked and Wren shook her head.
"No, we still have a couple hours, remember? We promised Argent." She said and he shook his head slightly, "You guys promised Argent." He said and she rolled her eyes slightly. "Well you're gonna keep the secret for a couple more hours." She said and he shook his head slightly, "I don't like keeping secrets from Scott." He said.
"You and your beta loyalty frustrate me sometimes." She said making him look at her with a smirk, "Sexually?" He asked. She looked at him and scoffed playfully making him smile at her. She bit her lip slightly as she smiled before walking over to the body paint table. "Mind if I borrow this?" Wren asked she she grabbed a paint brush and the girl there shook her head.
Wren turned around to look at Isaac and held the brush with her teeth. He watched as she took off her shirts before grabbing the paint brush. "Would you rather talk about Scott or would you rather paint my body?" She asked, holding the paint brush out to him and be looked her up and down for a moment.
"I want to paint your body." He said, grabbing the paint brush making her smile and hum slightly, "Thought so." She said.
A little while later Wren and Isaac were part of the dancing crowd and Isaac grabbed her hand before twirling her around making her laugh. He smiled as he pulled her closer to him, grabbing her hips while she gently grabbed his face, being careful with the paint in his face.
They stared at each other for a moment before Isaac leaned down, pressing his lips to hers. Their lips moved in sync for a moment before Wren slowly pulled away while furrowing her brows. "What's wrong?" He asked and she shook her head, "I don't know, I just got a weird feeling..." She trailed off slightly before sighing.
"Last time I got this feeling Lydia and I hallucinated Peter being under ice." Wren said as she glanced around, "I need to find my sister." Wren said and he nodded slightly. "Want me to come with you?" He asked and she shook her head, "No, it's fine. You go find Allison and figure how what we're gonna do about her dad." She said and he nodded.
She quickly kissed him again before pulling away and walking through the crowd. She glanced around until she saw Lydia walk out a door that led to a balcony. Lydia looked over when the door and Wren walked out, "You okay?" Wren asked and Lydia nodded.
"Yeah, just looking for Scott. What are you doing?" She asked and Wren sighed and shrugged slightly, "I don't know, I had a weird feeling. It's the one I've gotten right before something happens to you." Wren said and Lydia raised her eyebrows. "That's concerning." Lydia said and Wren nodded in agreement.
She was about to say something but noticed a cloud of black smoke behind her sister. "Lydia..." Wren said slowly making Lydia turn around right as two demonic ninja looking creatures materialized out of the smoke. One creature shot out, grabbing the side of Wren's head making her star into its glowing eyes.
Lydia went to scream but the other creature held it's hand up in front of her mouth, silencing the scream. The creature grabbed the side of her head as well and then after a moment both girls fell to the ground.

"Aiden, over here!" Danny yelled running over to Wren and Lydia. "Lydia?" Aiden said as he ran over to Lydia while Danny went over to Wren. "Wren?" Danny asked, grabbing her shoulder making her start to wake up. "What happened to them?" Aiden asked looking up at Danny.
"I don't know, but they're both freezing. Practically hypothermic." Danny said, "We gotta get them inside." Aiden said, grabbing Lydia while Danny grabbed Wren. "Over here! There's a heating vent." Danny said and they set the girls down next to the vent.
"Hey." Danny said, pushing some of Wren's hair out of her face, "Are you okay?" He asked and she nodded. "I'm- I'm fine." She said and he glanced over at Lydia who Aiden was holding to get her warmer. "I'll try to find a couple blankets." Danny said and Aiden nodded before Danny ran off.
As he ran away Wren slowly reached up the back of her
