Ch. 71 - WEREWOLVES OF LONDON

"Hey, what do we do?" Malia asked when she caught up to them, "No more peace summits. No more running. No more half-measures." Scott said determinedly. "What's the plan?" Malia asked, "We fight back." Scott said and Malia nodded. "I'm good with that plan." She said and Odette nodded in agreement, "As am I." 

"And Gerard? Monroe? The Hunters? We take them all on." Scott said and Odette looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Then we're gonna need more firepower." She said and he shook his head slightly. 

"Not just firepower. We're gonna need an army."

Deucalion slowly walked into the McCall house hold, glancing around at all the shattered glass and bullet holes from the previous night before looking at Scott, Malia and Odette. "You know my fighting days are over." He said as he walked past them, "That's hard to believe. You once said you'd kill any living thing that got in your way." Scott said. 

"I said a lot of things. But eventually, the bodies pile up so high that even a blind man can't ignore them." He said making Malia furrowed her brows, "So, what? You moved into a cave and took a vow of uselessness?" She asked. 

"I changed. We should all try it...And I live in a condo." He said glancing back at her, "I liked the old Deucalion better." Malia said and Odette pursed her lips for a second before nodding slightly in agree. "Well, maybe you've changed, but Gerard hasn't. And he's not going to stop with Beacon Hills. He's got a map with places circled- Toulouse, Brasilia-" Scott said and Deucalion cut him off. 

"Logashkino, Zhengzhou... Nemetons of the world." Deucalion said and Odette sighed softly, "You know him. You can out-think him. You can read him." Scott said and. "You've beaten him before." Deucalion said and Scott sighed softly, "He's got a lot of help now. Actually... he's got pretty much everyone." He said. 

"You think Gerard's turned you into a pariah? Your power does that. You'll always be an outsider because of your abilities. Gerard wasn't the first person to capitalize on the general public's fear of the "other." And he won't be the last." Deucalion said and Scott shook his head slightly, "So help us stop him." He said and Deucalion sighed softly. 

"I think you've realized that stopping Gerard now... means killing him. I'm sorry, Scott. That chapter in my life is over." He said and Odette raised her hand slightly from where she sat on one of the stood, "I'll do it." She said making them all turn to her with raised eyebrows making her frown. "What? Guys, the first time I met him I threw a knife at him. By now I dont think killing him is out of my characteristics." She said and Malia turned back to Deucalion. 

"So, that's it? You're just a pacifist now? What's gonna stop me from slashing your throat?" She asked and Deucalion raised his eyebrows at her, "Plenty." He said and she growled at him. She charged at him but he just stepped over to the side making her miss. 

"How'd you do that?" Malia said as she put her back to his, "It's Bagua isn't it? A martial art that takes the path of least resistance. It's what my dad used." Odette asked as she moved to stand next to Scott and Deucalion nodded. "You think you're going to beat me without fighting?" Malia asked as they start walking in a slight circle, "I think you're going to beat yourself." He said. 

Odette glanced over to see Scott doing a couple hand gestures to Malia making her sigh and pinch the bridge of her nose, knowing this was gonna go horribly. Malia flicked out her claws and went to swipe at Deucalion but he quickly spun around and stepped back making her miss again. 

She charged at him again but he just moved over and slightly pushed her to the ground making her groan. He held his hand out to help her up but she just swatted his hand away before standing up by herself. "Okay, so you can protect yourself. But what about everyone else who doesn't know Bagua? They're just gonna get their eyes stabbed out?" She asked and he took a deep breath.
