Invisible String {2} TW

Ch. 5 I.E.D.

"I paid for it," Liam told him.

"Yeah, you're going to pay for it. We're gonna break you in half out there. And it's gonna be all your fault," Brett told him.

At that moment, Ayla smelled blood. She grabbed Scott's arm, just as both saw blood dripping from Liam's hand. "Oh, shit," the alpha muttered as both of them ran forward. Stiles followed behind.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let's go," Scott told his beta as him and Ayla pulled Liam away.

Stiles turned to Brett with a smile. "Hey, what's going on prep students? Welcome to our little public high school. How you doing?" he asked.

"Stiles!" Ayla snapped.

"Yep," he said, following after her and the other two werewolves.

Both Scott and Ayla held Liam under the locker room shower as he stood there with claws and fangs extended. "You calm yet?" Stiles asked from where he stood a few feet away.

Liam gave a rather loud growl in response, and both Ayla and Scott slammed him back against the wall. "Okay! Okay!" Scott yelled at him, and he seemed to calm a little.

"Liam? You good?" Ayla asked. He nodded, returning to normal. Both her and Scott let him go and he stumbled forward, only to lean against the wall. Scott turned off the shower, and Ayla rung out her wet arms. Her pink top- Piper and Lydia's idea, not hers- was soaked along with her jeans. Stiles offered her her grey hoodie, which she had fortunately thought to take off. She took it and dried her hands on the fabric, but decided to not soak it by putting it on top of her wet clothes.

She turned back to Liam, who sank onto the floor. "That car you smashed. I thought you said that was your teacher's," Scott said.

"He was also my coach. He benched me for the entire season," Liam told him.

"For what?" Ayla asked him.

"I got a couple of red cards," Liam replied.

"Just a couple?" Stiles wondered. Ayla turned towards him to send him a warning look, before turning back to Liam.

Scott knelt down next to the younger boy. "You gotta be honest with us," he told him. "What else happened?"

"Nothing," Liam said.

Ayla sighed, kneeling down as well. "Liam, we're not trying to judge you. Trust me, I got suspended too many times back when I turned to judge you," she told him. Stiles frowned at her, knowing he would be asking Piper for those stories later. "But we need to know what happened."

The other beta frowned at her, before turning his attention to his hands. "I got kicked out of school. They sent me to a psychologist for evaluation," Liam admitted.

"What did they call it?" Scott wondered.

"Intermittent Explosive Disorder," Liam answered.

"I.E.D? You're literally an I.E.D?" Stiles asked him. "Great. That's great. You gave powers to a walking time bomb."

Ayla glared at him. "Did they give you anything for it?" Scott wondered, ignoring his best friend.
