Wren's outfit:

Chapter Ninety-Six
⚔ Triggers ⚔

Wren sat in between Scott and Malia in Argent's car while Argent and Lydia sat in the front seat. Wren's phone buzzed making her pull it out to see a text from Liam, "It worked." She said making them look over at her.

'It's about time." Malia said and went to open the door but Scott grabbed her arm, "Wait." He said before they both listened for a moment. "I hear them, too." Malia said making Lydia raise her eyebrows, "Hear what?" She asked.

"Heartbeats." Scott said and Wren sighed dramatically while dropping her head back against the seat, "How many?" Argent asked. "Ten?" Scott said unsure and Malia listened, "More." She said and Wren sighed again before sitting up.

"So are we breaking in, or not?" She asked, "Not. The armory should be empty by now." Argent said and Malia scoffed. "We can take down a few Hunters if we have to." Malia said and Argent turned to her, "We're dealing with a dozen well-armed Hunters who have orders to kill you on sight." He said making them all glance at each other. "Then how are we supposed to get inside?" Malia asked.

After a few minutes of talking Argent sighed and turned the car on making Malia quickly shot forward and turn it off. "Gerard thinks we're gone. It's a good plan." Malia said and Wren shrugged, "It's our only plan." She said and Argent sighed. "And it's not working." He said and Malia looked at him crazy, "We can still do this!"

A sound of glass cracking made both Lydia and Wren look at the window while the rest still talked.

"Let's vote."

"Guys, we just need to give Liam and Theo more time."

Lydia glanced back at Wren who looked at her before nodding at the window she saw a crack that wasnt there before. Lydia reached out to touch it and the crack grew bigger.

"We have ten minutes. Ten minutes before Gerard's people flag this vehicle. Once that happens, we'll be seen as a potential threat."

"Then what?"

"They'll pay us a visit." Argent said and that's when Scott noticed Wren's and Lydia's distant looks. "You okay?" He asked making them jump slightly and look at him, "Yeah... I think so..." Lydia said, glancing at Wren who nodded slightly.

"We should call off this mission." Argent said, "Brett and Lori are gone, and Jiang and Tierney are still missing. Gerard's always one step ahead of us. We have to do this now." Scott said and Argent shook his head slightly. "We're too exposed, Scott." He said and Malia shrugged slightly "You said we have ten minutes." She said and Argent looked at his watch.

"Nine."

"What are you doing?" Wren asked when Scott went to open his door, "I'm gonna lure them away so we can get inside." He said and Wren pinched his hand making him let got of the handle and she quickly locked it. "We need a new plan." Scott said and Malia looked at him crazy, "Not a dumb one."

"I'll bring the thermite charges." Scott said and Wren shook her head, "We need them for the armory." She said. "The explosion will buy you time, but not enough to get in and out safely." Argent said as something caught Lydia's eyes.

"Guys..." She said but only Wren paid attention to her and noticed what Lydia was looking at. "How about using the tunnels?" Malia suggested, "We could get underneath the building, but we'd still need to sneak in undetected."

"Guys..." Lydia said again but they didnt pay attention. "The ventilation system?" Scott suggested and Argent shook his head, "Same problem."

"Guys! Look!" Wren said loudly making them look at her and she pointing out the window making them look over. "They're leaving." Lydia said as they watched a group of people get into cars and drive off.

⚔

Wren walked into the armory despite Argent trying to tell her to slow down. She walked right up to the first person she saw and before he could even noticed her she grabbed the back of his head and slammed his head into the wall before letting him fall to the ground. "I didn't actually think that was actually gonna work." Wren mumbled to herself as the others walked in.

They walked down a hall and Argent opened a door before shoot a paint ball at one if the cameras and the rest followed him, Malia dragging the unconscious body of the hunter with them. "The thermite charges will take care of the weapons. Just make sure you're clear before they detonate, okay?" Argent said as he grabbed a bag from Scott before walking down a hall with Lydia and Wren following him.

Argent slowly opened a door where a hunter was sitting in front of a few screens, "You find the problem?" He asked and Argent walked up to him before slamming the butt of his gun down on the man's head, knocking him out.

They walked over to the desk and watched through the servalince cameras as Malia and Scott walk down at hall. All of the sudden Wren and Lydia heard the faint out of a gun shot making them look at each other, "Did you hear a gunshot?" Lydia asked making Argent look at her.

"No, I didn't hear anything." He said while they heard the sound of shell casings falling to the ground. "I heard it and I also I heard shell casings. We also saw your windshield crack, and then heard it shatter." Wren said and Lydia nodded in agreement as Argent turned to them.

'I think you were right. We should've called this off." Lydia sighed and Wren nodded in agreement. "We all have to get out of there." Lydia said as she and Wren heard another gun shot and more shell casings. "Do that, and we lose our chance." Argent said and Wren sighed, "Scott and Malia could die. It's not worth the risk." She said.

"Ten minutes ago, I would've agreed, but right now, we're in it, and we need to weigh the risk versus reward carefully. If we stay, we could succeed. If we go, we know we won't get another chance. Since one risk is known, and the other unknown..." Argent trailed off and Lydia sighed and nodded slightly, "We go with the known." She said and Argent nodded before unlocking the door.

A few minutes later after finding out they had took all the weapons, Argent pressed the button to the intercom, "Guys, get out of there now." He said.

"Let's go before they all get back." Malia said and they when to leave but Scott stopped, "That scent..." He said and Malia sniffed the air for a moment before turning to a door off to the side. "It's Jiang and Tierney." She said

"Guys, you need to leave now!" Argent said making Scott and Malia looked over towards the camera before looking at the door again, "Help me with this." Scott said, running over to a door. "He never listens." Wren muttered as Scott and Malia started to try and open the door.

Something started beeping and a red light on the desk started flashing making them look down at it and Argent's eyes widened slightly. "No, no, no! Don't open that door!" He yelled through the intercom but Scott and Malia ignored him before pulling the door open.

Almost instantly a bunch of stuff on the console in front of them started beeping and flashing and an alarm started blaring as the door to the armory closed in their own. Argent tries a few things before sighing, "Nope. Everything's shut down. They're locked in, and we can't do anything about it."

"What's this?" Lydia asked looked down at the console in front if them that had a bunch of flashing lights. "A motion sensor." Argent said and Wren squinted slightly as she read something on it, "What does H-2100 mean?" She said.

"H stands for halon. It's a fire suppression system. It'll pull all the oxygen out of the room to put out a fire." Argent explained making their eyes widen, "All of the oxygen? How long can a Werewolf hold their breath?" Lydia asked and Wren sighed as she looked at the screen.

"I think we're about to find out."

"Communications are shut down, and the room is soundproof." Argent said as he looked at some wires on the ceiling, "We need to warn them." Lydia said. "We are. One of these pipes leads in there." He said before pulling his gun out, taking the clip out and handing it to Wren before banging the end of the gun on the pipe. "Anything?" He asked and Wren shook her head, "Nothing." She said and Argent continued banging on the pipe.

"I think he hears you." Wren said as Scott and Malia looked in the direction of the banging. Argent started banging on the pipe harder making Lydia and Wren look at him confused, "What are you doing?" Lydia asked before noticing the giant hole in the pipe.

"Don't trip the sensors!" He yelled and another sensor turned on. Wren sat down at the chair and watched as Scott and Malia jumped over one sensor then ducked under the other before jumping on top of the shelves, Malia on top of Scott. Malia went to sit up but another sensor right above them turned on making Scott pull Malia down, flushed against him.

"Okay. If I can bypass the electrical system, I might be able to reset the console." Argent said as he messed with a bunch of wires on the desk. Wren's eyebrows furrow as she kept watching the screen before tapping Argent and Lydia's arms and nodding at the screen. "What is she doing?" Wren muttered as Malia climbed up a pillar.

Malia jumped from the pillar and hung off a beam on the ceiling by her hands and feet before trying to reach out to something. She tried a few times before managing to rip a padlock off of a skylight but right as the lock hit the ground it broke and a piece hit a sensor. An alarm started going off as something started blowing into the room making Scott and Malia fall to the ground with a groan before they both started having trouble breathing.

"How long do they have?" Lydia asked and Wren shook her head slightly, "Minutes." She said as she slowly stood up.

"We found Anderson unconscious. We're moving in." They heard over the radio making Argent sit down and change camera to the hallway to see a bunch if hunters walking up to the door. "How many are inside?"

"I don't know."

"What else can anybody see?"

"We have to do something." Lydia said and Wren nodded, "I have an idea." She said before walking out. She slowly crept over to the end of the hallway before closing her eyes. She focused on the men's emotions before seeing flashes of moments where they've gotten hurt. From getting knocked out to breaking bones.

Lydia and Argent walked into Wren right as all the men suddenly cried out in pain. Wren opened her eyes and glanced at her sister and Argent before nodding slightly. Argent walked around the corner to see a couple guys knocked out, one guy bleeding and the others on the ground with broken legs. Wren and Lydia followed him as he knocked out the men who were still awake.

All of the sudden the sound of electricity cracking made Lydia and Wren freeze as the lights flashed for a moment before they were standing in the middle of the McCall house with the weird spider like shadows. The loud sound of glass shattering made Lydia grab onto Wren's arm and was followed by the sounds of gunfire and screaming.

"Girls!" Argent yelling bringing them out of their premonition before they walked up to the door. "You said the doors were solid steel." Lydia said and Argent look at her, "I said they'll stop a bullet, not a Banshee or an advanced Seer." He said before stepping off to the side. Lydia looked over at Wren who nodded slightly, "Remember what I taught you about focusing your scream?" She asked and Lydia nodded.

"Yeah." She said and Wren nodded slightly as she crouched down, pressing her hands to the ground. "Let's do this." Wren said and Lydia sighed before turning to the door and taking a couple deep breaths before screaming as Wren brought forward an earthquake, focusing it on the door.

The door started bending from the force of the scream and earthquake before completely falling down. Malia and Scott both sucked in a deep breath, looking over at the Martin sisters as Wren stood up.

"They're Nemetons." Wren said as her, Argent, Melissa, Lydia and Mason looked down at a map that Scott and Malia found at the armory. There was a red dot in like every continent. The sound of glass cracking again made Wren and Lydia look up and glance around.

"What does Gerard want with them?" Melissa asked, "If they're like the one here, they're beacons for supernaturals." Mason said and Wren nodded. "If you wanted to kill every supernatural creature in the world, these are where you would start." Argent said and Melissa sighed, "Well, then Gerard isn't gonna stop with Beacon Hills, is he?"

"He wants the whole world." Argent said and then Agent McCall walked in making them turn to him, "Where's Scott?" He asked. "Upstairs. Why?" Wren asked as he walked over to them, "He can't leave. No one can." He said.

"Nice to see that you changed your mind, but I'm afraid to ask why." Melissa said, "It's Gerard's weapons." McCall said and then the sound of shell casings falling made Wren and Lydia look at each other as Scott and Malia walked in. "Dad?" Scott asked making them look at him.

The guns, they've all been distributed legally to the citizens of Beacon Hills-
all of them, and at no charge." McCall said making their eyes widen, "What, he just gave them away?" Scott asked and Argent shook his head. "No. He's arming his army." He said and then the sound of a gun shot and glass shattering made Wren and Lydia look at the window and then Wren's eyes widened.

"Get down!" She yelled before grabbing Lydia and Mason, pulling them down right as a could flash bang arrows shit through the window making everyone get down. Soon the sound of gunfire filled the house and red dots pointed inside. It went on for a moment before the shots and red dots disappeared.

Everyone looked up before their eyes widen as a giant puddle of blood started to grow on the ground.
