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.

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?"

[myhouse_myrules]

"Hey, don't ever think like that," she tells him. She may not know him but she's seen that kicked puppy look before. A look that she's definitely seen on her own son. Something she doesn't want to look too much into. "I'm sure that's not the case."

~~

"He got a good look at me," he says with a shake of his head which was a bad idea. Especially when his head hurt from the crash. "He was unconscious in the school parking lot. Dad, he... vaguely looks like mom." What little he remembered about her.

[smallestmccall]

His eyes slowly rose again to her face. He wasn't sure he believed her, but you don't argue with Mamaw. He wanted a hug but didn't know how to ask for one. So instead, he just chewed on his bottom lip, trying to think of something else to say. He was at a loss.

~~~

John's frown deepened. "Did you ask him what his name was?" He asked. There had to be something going on here that would explain some of his better. Not that John understood any of this supernatural stuff. "What do you want to do? We can see he gets some help.." As in, assuming the kid has gone crazy somehow. Stiles needed only one guess where that would lead the poor kid.

[myhouse_myrules]

Melissa reaches down and cards fingers through Gabriel's hair. Maybe it was a natural mother thing and she didn't know who the kid's mom was or where the mother was for that matter. Even though there were talks of grandpa Deaton and she's sure somewhere in there, her son.

~~

"I didn't ask him his name, dad," he says with a bit of a frown. Hell, he hadn't really thought to ask a kid calling him 'mom' what his name was. Why in the hell would he? He'd just wanted to get the kid to the hospital so his best friend's mom could take a look at him. Make sure the kid was okay. "We're not sending him to Eichen, dad. Get that thought out of your head. I'll eventually get to the bottom of it." Assuming the dang doctors let him go at some point.

[smallestmccall]

Gabe relaxed, feeling her fingers in his hair. It was soothing and familiar. Mamaw had always done that and so had both Stiles and Scott. He slowly closed his eyes. The events had all happened so fast and it had taken a lot out of him. He was young and finally not so afraid. So, it didn't take long before she had him resting peacefully.

~~~

John sighed. "It might not be our decision. We don't know who this kid is," he reasoned. However, he wasn't going to say that's for sure where he was going either. "You should rest up. I'm going to go deal with your car, okay?"

And contact Scott.

[myhouse_myrules]

Melissa watches Gabe for a moment and makes sure that none of the other nurses bother the kid. After all, he was responding better to her than anyone else it seemed for some reason. So when she leaves she sees John," How's Stiles?"

~~

"Okay, dad," Stiles murmurs softly. "Don't stay gone too long," he tells him before closing his eyes. The pain coursing through him getting the better of him.

[smallestmccall]

John sighed as he stepped out to join Melissa. "I don't know. He was acting like he was coherent enough, but what's this stuff about some kid calling him mom?" That was just too weird for words. "And do you think Stiles can get some more pain medicine? He looked like he was hurting."

~~~

It's an hour later when Scott tries calling Stiles.

[myhouse_myrules]

"He's a cute kid, John," she tells him simply. "He actually looks a lot like Claudia with the blonde hair and blue eyes," she says softly, watching John for a moment. "Yeah, I'll make sure that he gets something for the pain. Is he sleeping right now?"

~~

The phone startles the shit out of Stiles because what the hell. "Hello?" His voice is a bit raw and he groans because he still hurts slightly.

[truealphascott]

"That's what Stiles said too," John said, unsure if he really wanted to see someone who looked like his late wife. He needed to though. "Which room is he in?" He asked. He wouldn't disturb the boy, just look in on him.

~~

"Stiles? What's going on?" Scott asked. He was a lot more concerned hearing Stiles' voice. He knew his friend needed some time going from sleep to really awake, but his text had worried him too.

[myhouse_myrules]

Melissa doesn't say anything at first. She just leads John to the room and opens the door slightly, so he could see the young boy that was laying there asleep.

~~

"Scotty," he murmurs softly. "Oh god... Can you get out of work and come to the hospital?"

[truealphascott]

"The hospital?" Scott asked shocked. "I'll be there in ten minutes." He knew Deaton wouldn't make him stay if Stiles was in the hospital. Now he was kicking himself for not answering the tag as soon as he got it. His hands had been covered in filth and then he'd forgotten for a while.

~~~

John stared. The boy laying there wasn't just kind of like his late wife. He was strikingly similar. There was enough of Stiles in his face too that almost made his knees weak. There were other familiar traits, but he couldn't place them immediately. Closing the door again, he looked at Melissa. "Stiles said he found the boy just laying unconscious in the parking lot at the school. There was something about... " he glanced around the hall making sure he could say it without causing trouble. "Something about Stiles not smelling like a wolf."

[myhouse_myrules]

"Yeah, I kind of crashed the jeep," he mutters. "So you being here would be good. I'll explain everything after you get here." Or at least attempt to explain everything to his best friend.

~~

"Some of the boy's mannerisms remind me of Scott," she tells John once they're out of the room and the door is shut. "He calls Deaton grandpa and wanted me to call his dad. The only other one at the clinic was Scott, John."

[truealphascott]

"Okay," Scott said. He dashed off, giving Deaton only a brief explanation. The druid was pretty used to emergencies popping up with the young alpha anyway. It took him less than ten minutes to get across town. It wasn't the smartest way to drive, but he was a bit freaked.

~~~

John looked at her confused and then through the window in the door at the kid again. Scott. That was who the other features had reminded him of. "How would that even happen? Stiles isn't a girl and those two aren't romantically together."
