AU: Scott/ Stiles/ Gabriel

[truealphascott]

No one knows why half the things in Beacon Hills happen. It's not exactly something they like to put on tour guides advertising the place.

Scott had gone to work right after his class, which left Stiles to drive home on his own. He would've been able to leave sooner but he'd gotten detention. This one had been totally Scott's fault and he'd apologized at lunch, but he hadn't been able to get Stiles out of it. So when Stiles left the school building there wasn't too many around. Just as he was reaching the parking lot, a bright white flash blinded him for a moment. There was a thud and a groan of pain and then everything went right back to normal. Except now there was a blonde kid laying on the ground not ten yards from him. He was still and unconscious, but there was something remarkably familiar about his face. He wore a coat and scarf, even though it was May and he had he didn't have anything with him besides that.

Comments

Gabriel groaned again when Stiles touched his neck and then moved him. The scent was his mom, so he didn't immediately feel afraid as he opened his eyes. It was then that he noticed there was something off about his mom's scent. He was dazed and moving slow, but at least this wasn't one of those dead bodies Stiles, Lydia, and Scott were notorious for finding.

"Mom?" His voice was scratchy and weak.

[myhouse_myrules]

When the groan comes out of the kid, he nearly jumps back slightly. "Um, no offense but I don't know where your mom is at." This? It was weird is what it was. "Are you looking for some in particular or...?" After all, the boy couldn't be talking to him. Right?

"Come on. We need to get you to the hospital so Melissa can look you over."

[truealphascott]

There were about fifty things that didn't make sense in Stiles' response and Gabriel looked up at him confused. Then he glanced around seeing where he was and it made him start to get really worried. Chewing on his lip, he just nodded and got up. They were going to go see grandma so that was good, right?

Wait, what had Stiles said? "What's going on?" He asked, hoping his mom would know. "Should we go to Uncle Deaton?"

[myhouse_myrules]

Stiles just watches the kid and watches him get up from where he was. There was something about the kid that reminded him of someone but he still couldn't place it. After all, this was some stranger that he didn't know. There were about a million questions on the young Stilinski's mind and he wanted answers to said questions. That would have to wait though. At least till he knew the kid was okay.

"What's going on is I'm going to take you to mom so she can look you over," he tells him. Though he raises a brow at that last bit," I don't know any grandpa Deatons. Besides, why would I take you to a vet when you clearly need a nurse."

[truealphascott]

Gabe was wondering why Mom wasn't hugging him and helping him feel comforted by whatever weird thing going on. Instead, Mom was just staring at him and it was making him self-conscious. He still didn't mind the idea of going to see grandma but when Stiles said he didn't know Deaton, Gabe looked up shocked. His bright blue eyes that were from his maternal grandmother widened and stared at Stiles.

"What?" He asked, now visibly getting scared. Something was really wrong here. Why didn't Stiles look the right age and why didn't he smell like a wolf? Why was it suddenly warm weather when it had been cold a few minutes ago? And why was Mom not acting like he knew him? Just as his bottom lip threatened to tremble, he bit it.

[myhouse_myrules]

To be honest, Stiles had no clue what in the hell to do. Especially when it came to the surprise on the younger boy's face and just... he was SO lost. So when the boy starts to get upset or scared or, he's not sure! He wanted to call Scott but at the same time didn't want to call him. Not if it bothered his best friend at work.

"Jeep's close," he tells him moving close to the kid, leading him to the jeep. He'll text Scott once they get to the hospital or maybe he should do it now. "Who are your parents?"

[truealphascott]

He just had to get to grandma, then he could fall apart. He decided that and tried to keep it as a mantra in his head. Despite starting to feel really warm, he refused to take off his coat. He felt too exposed and wanted something to hide in. It made him wonder if he shouldn't just become a wolf and run. But where would he run? Mom was right here.

He crawled into the jeep when led to it, but he didn't answer Stiles' question. Instead, he just sulked and kept giving Stiles heartbroken looks.

[myhouse_myrules]

There was something nagging at the back of his mind because what the hell... So he texts Scott with a simple: Won't make it for game night tonight. Had something weird happen and taking the kid to mom.

When he slips into the jeep he can't help but frown slightly. The kid was looking at him like he'd gone off and shot his dog or something. Something that Stiles would never do to anyone. "Make sure you're buckled up," he tells the boy before buckling up and starting the jeep, wanting to get them to the hospital as quickly as possible.

[truealphascott]

Scott couldn't pull away from what he was doing to reply to the text right away. When he does later, he is concerned.

When Gabe is told to put on his seat belt, he mumbled a 'yes mom' as he obeyed. It was at least a familiar instruction that Stiles would normally tell him to do. In a way that was comforting but in another way it wasn't.

As they pulled out of the parking lot, Gabe's curiosity got the better of him. "Why were you at the high school?"

[myhouse_myrules]

If Scott does reply to him then he won't get a reply back for a bit. After all, he's promised his best friend that he won't drive and text. However, Gabe's question throws him off and he frowns a bit as he gets them out of the parking lot and onto the road.

"Because I go to school there," he says doing his best not to glance over at the younger boy.

[truealphascott]

Gabe sank deeper into his coat. He was giving up on trying to pretend he didn't want to just hide. He was literally hiding now. Why was Mom still in high school? Why didn't Mom know who he was?

Just get to grandma, she'll make everything better. She always did. He patted his pockets for his phone but found it wasn't there. It must've been in his backpack, which was also gone for some reason.

He didn't ask anything else until they were close to the hospital. He was getting antsy and before he could stop himself he asked, "Why don't you smell like a wolf, Mom?"

[myhouse_myrules]

They drove in relative silence because he didn't know how to handle any of this. He kept watching Gabe out of the corner of his eye, but made sure to keep his eyes on the road too. The kid was a bit strange to him and he wasn't sure what to make of any of it. The silence, to be honest, was a bit nice.

It was when that question hit, when they were close to the hospital that Stiles lost control of the jeep and ended up hitting the trunk of a tree. The seatbelt jerking him pretty hard, liable to bruise and he's pretty sure that his head got hit too but he wasn't sure.

That's the point that someone calls the accident in and Melissa sees it from where she'd walked past the hospital doors, letting the paramedics know what was going on.

[truealphascott]

Gabe shrieked when he felt the jeep lose control. Instinctively he threw up his hands to shield his face, but they got caught up in the airbag. The arm closest to the window shredded from the glass breaking, getting blood all over him and the bag. He tried to get free and run or something but he was caught in the coat and seat belt and omg, he can't leave his mom!

A couple of the paramedics that were alerted by Melissa brought out gurneys and split up to flank the sides of the jeep. Seeing the blood and broken glass, they got the passenger door open and ended up having to cut the seat belt to get Gabe free. He still tried to run but they grabbed him and put him on the gurney.

[myhouse_myrules]

Stiles couldn't move and it felt like his body was on fire, though he knew that it wasn't. It was more because of the pain. He could see the paramedics pull the younger boy out of the passenger side and then saw a few of them try to get his door open. One of the stronger ones manage it, getting him on the gurney.

Melissa had one of the other nurses call John and let him know that Stiles was in an accident. So once the paramedics came into the hospital, she moves over to the gurneys," Can you boys tell me what happened?" She can hear Stiles mutter something but she's not entirely sure what. However, what mattered was getting the other nurses and helping get the boys into exam rooms to assess their injuries.

[truealphascott]

When John received the call, he dropped everything he was doing to rush in. Just as he was leaving, he told Parrish and had him take over if any other emergencies arose.

Gabe was still trying to get out, so one of the nurses had to use restraints on his wrists. It was uncommon to use on kids, but sometimes people were hysterical and needed to be protected from themselves. The coat was cut away and that's when the nurse stared confused. There were spots he'd been cut and was bloody, but there weren't any marks on his skin. "Melissa? You should come look at this." The nurse, Shelly, said.

[myhouse_myrules]

Melissa doesn't like the use of restraints but it wasn't the first time that they needed to be used on someone. Especially someone that's hysterical or panicking. When she hears Shelly, she moves over to the other nurse and looks at where the coat had been cut away. "Shelly, why don't you go attend to Stiles. Or intercept Sheriff Stilinski when he comes in because that man will want to know where his son is."

She waits until Shelly is gone before giving Gabe a bit of a smile and gives his shoulder a reassuring squeeze," You're safe now. Take deep breaths and calm down for me. Can you tell me what happened?"

[truealphascott]

Gabriel calmed down immediately when he saw Mamaw was there. He even gave her a shy smile back. "I don't know what's going on, Mamaw. Mommy doesn't know who I am and I don't know how I ended up at the high school. And he said he didn't know Grandpa Deaton! Then he hit a tree!" It all came out in one big rush as he looked at her with all the trust in the world.

[myhouse_myrules]

Honestly Melissa didn't know who the kid was or what was going on. Though she also figured it had something to do with Beacon Hills and how weird it was. Maybe she'd have to talk to Deaton and see if he knew the kid or if something had happened that she knew nothing about. Even though she wants to ask about the whole 'mommy' comment she gives Gabriel a smile," Do you know why Stiles hit the tree?"

[truealphascott]

It made him feel more secure when Mamaw didn't react to him like she didn't know who he was or what he was talking about. His cheeks flush and he looked down guiltily. It hadn't been on purpose, but he knew the crash had been his fault.

"I didn't mean to.." He began, feeling horrible for what had happened. "I just asked Mommy why he didn't smell like a wolf." How was he supposed to know that was a shocking question? His mom was a wolf. "He doesn't look right either."

[myhouse_myrules]

She's still overly confused and hopes like hell that Shelly managed to stop John before he lost it. Hoped that the other had been taken to his son immediately. For now, however, she's just listening to the young boy talk.

"Hey, no blaming yourself," she tells him softly. "Can you tell me what happened before you found mommy like this?" It was weird to call Stiles that but she needed the information so she could tell her son later.

[truealphascott]

"I was outside school waiting for him to pick me up and then I found myself in front of the high school somehow. I woke up and saw Mommy, but he didn't know who I was. I don't know what happening. Where's Dad?" Or Derek or Isaac or hell, he'd even take Chris!

John came rushing in and fortunately was caught by Shelly. Everyone knew the sheriff around here so it wasn't hard to spot him. A couple other nurses had been taking care of Stiles, cleaning his wounds and talking to him. They were mostly just trying to make sure he hadn't hit his head too hard.

"Hey," John said, coming up to his son. "Stiles?" He wasn't sure yet if Stiles was with it or not.

Shelly popped her head in with Melissa. "The sheriff is here and with Stiles. Do you need anything?"

[myhouse_myrules]

"I'm sure that he's fine," Melissa tells him with a bit of a smile. "Probably at work." After all, she's not sure who in the world Gabe's dad is but the kid's dad is more than likely at work. When Shelly does pop her head in, she shakes hers," No, I've got this, Shelly. Just make sure that Stiles is alright and doesn't need anything."

Stiles looks up at him still pretty out of it," Dad?" Wait, why was he there? Oh, right, he'd crashed the jeep.

[smallestmccall]

"Can we call him? He's with Grandpa Deaton," Gabe asked, feeling hopeful that maybe his dad would know him. He felt more confident now that Mamaw knew who he was. "Is Mommy going to be okay?"

~~

"Hey pal," John said, pulling up a stool. "You got to quit getting hurt like this. My heart can't take it." It was meant as a joke, but it probably went over poorly. "What happened?"

[myhouse_myrules]

"He's working right now," Melissa tells him. "So we'll call him later, okay? As for Stiles, he's going to be fine. Might have a few bumps and bruises but he'll be fine."

~~

"Don't say that dad," he says with a deep frown. "I don't... There was a kid with me. And he's, I don't know... He kept calling me mom. And asked why I didn't smell like a wolf."

[smallestmccall]

"I don't think he wants to see me again," Gabe said, deflating emotionally. He wondered if one of the favorites like Myles or Caleb or even Dia had shown up if Stiles would've liked them better. He was the weirdo and smallest runt in the bunch. It wasn't too shocking that Stiles hadn't been too impressed with him. He doesn't even realize he's doing it, but the faintest whimper came from the back of his throat. He had his kicked puppy look again and just.. he was feeling really lost.

~~~

John patted Stiles' arm- a spot that didn't look injured. However, he frowned at the news. "A kid calling you mom? Did he get a good look at you?"

There were a lot of things you could tease Stiles about but being feminine wasn't one of them. There wasn't any obvious way someone could mistake him for a girl, so clearly it was the kid being hopped up on something. "Where'd you find him?"
