Wren's outfit:
Chapter Eighty
๐ Apotheosis ๐
Stiles and Wren brought Mason's medical chart to Deaton in hopes that he can share some insight. "Vanishing twin syndrome?" Deaton asked and Stiles nodded and looked at him hopeful, "This is part of your expertise, right?" He asked and Deaton shook his head slightly.
"Not particularly, no." He said making Stiles and Wren frown in disappointment as Deaton studies the chart. Just then, the back door slammed open making them turn around as Liam and Scott run through the doorway, holding up one of the Dread Doctors, who is gravely injured.
"He's still alive!"
The Surgeon laid on the exam table while they all surround him, looking concerned, "Can you keep him alive?" Scott asked as Deaton looked the Dread Doctor over, "I'm not sure he technically is alive." Deaton said. "Screw keeping him alive! How do we get him to talk?" Liam asked, obviously angry at what had happened the previous night, "Personally, I don't think we utilize torture nearly enough." Stiles muttered.
"Come." A deep voice with a french accent said catching the Liam's attention, "Do you hear that?" He asked. "Come to me... To me..." The voice said again and all of the sudden The Surgeon bolts upright and causes an ear-splittingly loud noise to ring loudly throughout the room, which forces all of them to cover their ears with their hands.
While they're distracted, The Surgeon stands and gets ready to leave. Liam growls and lunges toward him before Scott can stop him, "Liam wait!" Scott yelled. The Surgeon turns and causes an electromagnetic concussive blast that shoves Liam backward into the wall behind him before he crashes to the floor. The Surgeon walks out the door and raises his hand before he walks into the parking lot, which causes all of the metal furniture to fly toward the door to the exam room.
Liam gets to his feet, rubbing his sore neck, but when he and Scott start to chase after The Surgeon, Wren stops them. "Stop, stop! It's electrified." She said making Scott's eyes widen in shock, and he gently holds out his hand to feel the static electricity coming off of the furniture.
The Surgeon walks outside, and falls to his knees as Sebastien approaches him and gives him a hard look. He takes The Surgeon's mask off, revealing a withered old man underneath with sparse white hair and blood pouring out of his mouth. "Marcel... if this is what immortality looks like, I think you might have been misled." Sebastien said, staring at his old friend, "For you... All for you..." Marcel said. "What did you do with it, Marcel? Where's the pike?" Sebastien asked and Marcel looked up at him, "The Argents... The Argents."
Inside, Scott's eyes widen in shock when he realizes what they're talking about, "The cane!" He said and Liam sighed. "But they took it. They took the cane."
A few minutes later Deaton, Scott, Stiles, Wren, and Liam are gathered around the table in the exam room, where Scott is flipping through the pages of Mason's chart. "Maybe there's something in here? Something about how he was a genetic chimera?" Scott asked as he read the file.
"Mason had a vanishing twin." Deaton said and Stiles sighed, "Now we've got a vanishing Mason." He said. "What does that have to do with him turning into a 250-year-old French guy? How does that even happen?" Liam asked confused and then an idea popped into Deaton's head. "Hold on... Scott might have something. Mason's twin wasn't entirely gone- that's what made him a genetic chimera. The DNA was still there. Metaphorically speaking, the DNA of Mason could still be inside Sebastien as well."
"How?"
"Life is energy. Energy doesn't just disappear. The Dread Doctors may have found a way to break the rules of the supernatural world, but there are some rules that simply won't break." Deaton said and Liam's expression becomes hopeful at this news. "So, Mason just can't be gone?" He asked and Deaton looked at him, "Somewhere in Sebastien, he has to still exist in some form. A spark of energy, a flicker of memory..." Deaton said and realizing crossed over Stiles's features.
"Hang on... Liam, you said Mason said something right before he turned." Stiles said and Liam nodded, "He said... That's not my name." Liam said and Wren's eyes widened. "He finally remembered his name." She said and Stiles nodded sligntly, "Damnatio "memoriae."
"That's what they wanted. They wanted Sebastien to remember his name." Liam said and Deaton looked over at Scott, "Scott, you know the myth of what happens when you call a werewolf by its given name?" Deaton asked and realization crossed over Scott's features. "It turns back to human.."
"What does that mean? Someone can just walk up to the Beast, yell Mason's name, and turn him back?" Liam asked confused and Wren slightly shook her head, "Not someone..." She said and went to finish but all of the sudden got a distant look on her face. "Wren? What is it?" Stiles asked as he grabbed her arm.
"Lydia."
๐
Wren ran into her sister's room, where Lydia is sleeping soundly in her bed, her neck bandaged up where Sebastien clawed her. She sighed softly before walking over to Lydia, grabbing her hand, which causes her to stir awake.
"Hey, you all right?" Wren asked worriedly and when Lydia speaks, her voice is a weak rasp due to her vocal cords being affected by her injury. "Did... Did you find something? A solution?" She asked and Wren sucked in a deep breath and looks at Lydia with a saddened expression before nodding.
"Yeah... It was you. It was you, Lydia."

Wren, Scott, Liam, and Stiles gathered around Lydia's bed as Melissa walks in, looking nervous and with a syringe concealed discretely in her hand. "Lydia, this is gonna have to be just between us, since I can get fired for it." Melissa said, "It's a cortisone shot. It's gonna bring the inflammation down." Scott said and Lydia nodded and held her arm out.
"Not there." Melissa said before she reaches up and gently peels half of the bandage over her throat away so she can see the claw wounds. Lydia groans in pain, clearly not excited about the prospect of getting a shot in her open wound, and both Stiles and Liam start to look woozy.
"Uh, yeah, okay, I'm gonna need to step back." Stiles said and took a few steps back at Melissa turned to Wren, "Hold her hand." She said and Wren nodded before grabbing Lydia's hand. Melissa takes a deep breath and uncaps the syringe before aiming the needle for her wound.
"Okay, here we go." Melissa mumbled and Lydia tightly grips onto her sister's hand as she braces herself, but before Melissa can do anything, Liam's eyes roll back into his head and he faints, collapsing onto the ground in a heap. Scott rushes over to check on him, and Melissa rolls her eyes before turning back to Lydia.
"Okay, Lydia, this is gonna hurt like a bitch..." Melissa said before she pushes the needle into Lydia's neck, and she gasps in pain and whimpers as she is injected with the cortisone.
A few minutes later Scott, Liam, Stiles, Wren, and a properly-dressed Lydia walked out of the elevator, Wren helping Lydia stay on her feet as they walk. "Okay, Wren and I will get Malia. Text me when you find Parrish." Stiles said and grabbed his girlfriend's and they go to walk away but Scott stops the.. "Hold on-" He said making Stiles and Wren stop and turn to him as pulls out a cylinder-shaped object wrapped in brown paper out of his jacket pocket and hands it to him.
"What's this?" Stiles asked, "Something I've been working on for a while. Just make sure Malia gets it." Scott said and Stiles looked at him confused. "Is it Plan B?" He asked and Scott sighed softly, "It was Plan A..." He said making Wren gives him a wary look. "Plan A never works." She said and Scott nodded.
"This one will."

Stiles and Wren ran into Scott's house only to be met with the Desert Wolf pointing a gun at them. "Oh, damn." Stiles mumbled before Malia suddenly shot forward, grabbing Stiles and throwing him into the living room. "Oh my god!" Wren yelled as she ran past Malia and the Desert Wolf and into the living room.
Malia knocked the gun out of the Desert Wolf's hand before they grabbed each other's arms. They wrestle with each other until they fall into the living room and land on top of the glass coffee table, which collapses and shatters into a million pieces underneath them. Stiles and Wren hides behind the couch and Wren pulled off Allison's bow from around her before notching an arrow just in case.
The Desert Wolf tossed Malia into the wall as Stiles and peek out from behind the couch making the Desert Wolf look at them. Wren's eyes widened when Stiles suddenly jumped over the couch, "Stiles!" Wren yelled. He tries to punch her in the face, but she wastes no time throwing him down on the floor, where he lands in a heap on the pile of broken glass from where the women had fallen through the coffee table.
"Stiles?" Malia called out as she slowly sat up and Stiles turned around to reveal a giant piece of glass in his chest. Wren quickly stood up, pointing the bow and arrow at the Desert Wolf making the woman raise her eyebrows in amusement. "You won't do it." She said and Wren just smirked and cocked an eyebrow before releasing an arrow.
The arrow embedded itself in the Desert Wolf's shoulder making her groan in pain while Wren smiled. "What was that again?" Wren asked as she climbed over the couch. The Desert Wolf growled under her breath as she wrapped the arrow out before walking towards Wren. Before she could do anything, Wren readjust her grip on the bow, hitting the Desert Wolf across the face with it.
The Desert Wolf stumbled back slightly before noticing Malia crawling across the floor to grab the Desert Wolf's gun. The woman quickly jumped over the couch, grabbing the gun before the both stood up.
The Desert Wolf pulled the trigger, shooting Malia in the shoulder making her back away as she doubles over in pain. The Desert Wolf smirks in satisfaction as Malia groans and stumbled backwards away from her mother. But when she turns around to run down the hallway, the Desert Wolf shoots her again in the back, and Malia groans once again as the bullet pierces through her other shoulder.
"It's not the full moon, Malia... but you know what? It's close enough." The Desert Wolf said as Malia breathed heavily, "Stop..." She said but the Desert Wolf shot her again before cornering Malia at the end of the hallway,
She flicked out her claws before an arrow suddenly embedded itself in her shoulder making her hiss in pain, looking back at Wren. "Malia!" Wren yelled before tossing a jar with Belasko's talon past the Desert Wolf.
The talons glow as soon as Malia catches the jar, and the Desert Wolf sneers as she stalks toward her daughter. Her blue eyes flashing as she shoves her clawed fingers into Malia's stomach making Malia groan in pain. "I want my power back!" The woman said as Malia dropped the jar making it shatter as she looked at her mother.
Glowing blue talons at her finger tips as Malia stabs The Desert Wolf with them as her eyes glowed blue. I want my family back." Malia said as The Desert Wolf gasped while getting weaker as Malia absorbs her power. Eventually the Desert Wolf's eyes go back to their normal brown, while Malia's eyes become so blue that her pupils are almost covered by the glow.
Malia ripped her hand out of her mother's stomach, making the woman back away from her. Wren cleared her throat making the Desert Wolf spin around right before Braeden knocks her out with the butt of her rifle. Wren grabbed Braeden's arm as Braeden winched in pain before they walked over to Malia.
"You've gotten good with that." Braeden said as she gestured to the bow as Wren looked her sister over, "I was taught by the best." Wren said with a slight shrug. "Can someone please come and take this gigantic shard of glass out of my chest? Please?" Stiles asked making the girls look at him and Wren sighed softly.
"We should probably get you to Melissa."

Lydia and Wren pulled up into a parking spot at the school and got out to find Malia studying while she sat on the hood of her car. The Martin sisters walked up to Malia, and they all smile at each other before Lydia links her arms through Malia's and Wren's before leading them into the school.
A little while later Wren, Stiles and Lydia walk through the halls. Stiles had his arm around Wren shoulders while she had her arms around his waist as they talked about Kira leaving. "But she'll be back. She still has to graduate." Lydia said and Stiles sighed softly.
"That's the thing, though, I don't know... When we started this school year, I was so stressed about everyone ending up in the same place after we graduate. But, I don't think it matters. We always seem to find each other anyway. Even Allison." He said making Lydia stop to look at him confused, "What do you mean?" She asked making them look at her.
"No one told you?" Wren asked and Lydia shook her head, "It was in the tunnels, when Sebastien had his hands around Scott's throat. The guy probably didn't even know what he was doing. He got his claws into Scott's neck. He was going to kill him, but then he stopped, and he said a name. Marie-Jeanne." Stiles said and realization crossed over Lydia's features. "He saw Scott's memories." She said and Wren nodded.
"He saw Allison."
"They must have looked like each other. I mean, maybe exactly like each other." Lydia said and they nodded, "She saved him. Allison saved his life." Stiles said and Wren and Lydia looked at each other. "See? She's still with us." Odette said and they all smiled softly as Stiles put his arm back around Wren's shoulders. before turning and walking into the library. where they join Scott at the table and take out their books to study with him.
An empty seat next at the end of the table next to Lydia and Scott symbolizes where Allison would be sitting if she were still physically there with them.
