Malia's POV
Exploring the Hale Vault. My phone rings, a call from Debby, Shaking my head smiling sadly. I ignore the call, I was slightly mad at her still, but I wanted to make thing right, but we need space.
"Sorry"
Walking over to an unusually safe I rips off the handle and opens it. Inside there is a folder labeled "Malia Tate – Adoption Records." *Bingo* Smiling I hold up the folder before hearing a familiar voice,
"I've got to buy a better safe."
Looking at Peter he sighs heavily,
"I can't let you leave here with that."
Smiling walking around him,
"Maybe you won't have a choice."
Raising an eyebrow he looks at me,
"Is that right?"
Debby and Lydia have told me all about Peter being slightly weaker than usually. Sizing him up I smile,
"I think I could take you."
He smiles,
"You've heard rumors I'm not as strong as I used to be."
Shrugging coolly I smile,
"Something like that."
Peter Laughs turning He punches one of the stone supports, breaking off a chunk, and proving the rumors wrong. Startled I look at him to hand over the file but Peter stops me by saying
"I said you can't leave with it, but I didn't say you couldn't read it."
Debby's Pov
Standing by Stiles, Liam, and Kira we looked at the computer screens. Chris Argent attaches a device that taps the building's internal security cameras. He calls Stiles to ask him if we are ready downstairs. Me, Stiles, Kira and Liam have set up the laptops in one of the empty patient rooms. With a single keystroke, all three light up with multiple images from the hospital's security cameras,
"Bingo"
Smiling Stiles nods telling Mr. Argent everything was going smoothly. All we have to do is watch the screen for an unknown person on the screen. While watching the screens everything seem to go well till one of the shoots begin to frizzy up. Liam looks at me,
"Is that supposed to look like that?"
I shake my head turning to Stiles. Kira looks at us before asking,
"No. No, it's not. Where is that?"
Looking around at the other screens I respond,
"The roof."
Stiles Nods looking at us,
"Someone's going to have to check it out."
I was about to step up, but Kira cut me off,
"I'll go."
Stiles stops her before she runs off to fast,
"Whoa, whoa. This might not just be a malfunction."
Kira nods raising up a bag which held her sword smiling at me she looks back at Stiles,
"That's why I'm bringing this."
Racing out the door Liam looks at Stiles and I before following Kira exclaiming,
"I'm coming with you."
Looking at the screen ignoring Liam he nods,
"Okay. And you're both coming right back. Immediately."
Turning to me smiling shaking his head taking a deep breath Sighing,
"Kids."
"You have no idea"
Malia's POV
Opening the folder I Look at a birth certificate which says:
This Certifies that Baby Malia
WAS BORN INMidtown Memorial Hospital
on 11-28-98 A.D. 19987lbs 4oz. Sex F
There is also a picture of an infant and two tiny inked footprints on the form.
Also in the file, there's a paper labeled "Adoption Request." The page is torn and bloodied. While mostly obscured, the adopting parents' names are listed as "Evelyn Tate" and "Henry Tate." The agency handling the adoption is listed as "Beacon Adoption." The court hearing took place on "12/22/98" with a case number of "BDH093892."
Peter makes a joke,
"Wanna talk about it, see a family counselor?"
Shutting the folder frustrated I toss it to him,
"There's nothing in there."
Peter raises an eyebrow,
"Cost me a lot of money to get that file."
"You got ripped off."
Picking up the Folder Peter looks at me quite seriously,
"You know what happens when you only hear one side of a story?"
"What?"
He glares at me,
"You've only heard one side of the story."
Debby's POV
Once Liam and Kira left it seem like everything went down hill since the power went out,
"I just lost all the cameras Deb"
"Yeah I can see that"
Turning to Stiles we make our way to Scott's Body in the morgue. Pacing back in forth Stiles has been trying to reach Mr. Argent because this plan seems to be falling apart,
"Come on, come on. Answer the phone. Answer the phone, Argent."
"Stiles"
Ignoring me he begins pacing more frequency
"Come on, Argent, answer the phone."
Stepping up I raise an eyebrow, Widen my eyes everything begins blacking out. Opening my eyes I see different Visions and two step out one involving Malia and Peter talking and then Kira and Liam on the roof fighting a berserker. Shaking my head I open my eyes looking at Stiles who was looking at his phone,
"Stiles I'm go check on Liam and Kira"
Before I could open the door Mr. Argent came trough the door on the ground. Looking at us,
"Debby, Stiles Run"
Looking at the door walks in Kate looking at Stiles and I,
"Hand over the body, Stiles and Debby"
I raise an eyebrow looking at Stiles who was probably thinking like me before asking Kate,
"Why? Visual confirmation?"
Kate shakes her head at Stiles,
"Don't worry, handsome. I'm not The Benefactor."
I glare at her,
"Then what do you want with the body?"
She looks at us,
"I wish I could tell you."
Standing up Mr. Argent grabs Kate putting a gun to her head,
"I forgot you carry Two"
Malia's POV
Peter explains why he killed a bunch of people including Debby's Parents. He says the fire nearly burned him alive and left him in a coma for six years. He says he was fully aware during all that time but unable to move and listening to his own thoughts driving him "absolutely and totally insane minute by minute, day by day." He admits he's done horrible, terrible things but says others have committed similar acts and those things will keep happening as long as there is a Dead Pool with my name on it. Looking at him I raise an eyebrow,
"But not yours."
He looks at me,
"True."
I raise an eyebrow before he cut me off,
"But I am not The Benefactor. I'm just a guy who's out millions of dollars. A few thousand of which I used trying to help you."
"Me?"
He smiles taking a seat on some steps turning to me explaining,
"How does the bad guy prove that he's not so bad? By doing an act of kindness."
"What could you ever do for me?"
"Help you find your mother."
I raise an eyebrow while he explains,,
"I'm pretty interested myself as the memory was stolen from me by my sister, Talia."
" Well What did you find?"
"A woman, might be her.I don't have a name yet, just a particularly interesting 's called The Desert you know what that means?"
"Coyote."
Debby's POV
Chris demands that Kate back off explaining that we have a plan. She misunderstands and thinks their plan included really killing Scott. She says she is there because she is on the Dead Pool. She notices the countdown on his Gear 2 which reads "03:04" and eases her grip on him. He urges her to take the Berserkers and go. Looking at Stiles we release a deep breath. Closing my eyes I open them looking around at unknown place. Realizing I'm on the roof looking over at the berserker I jump scratching at it, but no effect. Liam is battered and bleeding. Kira and I tell him to run but instead he rises for another attack, jumping on top of a transformer bank and diving at the Berserker.
Racing into the Morgue with Liam we look over and see Scott's Mom and Kira's on the ground and Kira's Mom didn't look good she was hurt. Turning to Liam,
"We need to tell Kira"
Walking in the door we hear screaming *Scott is back* Kira kisses him. Looking at us He wants to know if it worked we shake our heads "no." turning to Kira I take a deep breath,
"Kira"
She looks at me uneasy,
"What is it"
Liam cuts me off rubbing my shoulder,
"It's your Mom. She's Hurt"
Once the doctors were able to take Kira's mother was airlifted to a hospital in Palo Alto, California. Since Stiles felt it wasn't safe for me to go back to Malia's Loft we drive up to his house. I explained to him everything that transpired at my old house from talking to my uncle,
"So your uncle is dead?"
"Yep"
"And you burned your house"
"Yep"
"Was that smart Deb"
"Um..."
Stiles cuts me off Laughing,
"Haha"
Shaking my head we walk up to his room. Started we look up seeing Malia Blinking quickly I look at her,
"Malia"
Looking over She is staring at the part of the Dead Pool that includes her name as "Malia Hale". Taking a deep breath I walk over to her rubbing her shoulder which surprised me since she didn't brush me off. Leaning down to her ears I whisper,
"You might be related to him, but you're not like him."
She looks at me,
"Maybe I am. Deb That night I caused the car crash..."
"You mean when you were out-of-control on the full moon."
"There's a part I didn't tell you about."
Surprised I looked at Stiles who nods moving away somewhere else. Looking back at Malia I gave her an encouraging smile,
"Right before we got in the car, my adoptive mother, I got into a huge fight. I don't even remember what it was about, but.I remember what I said."
She stops taking a deep breath looking at the bored pasting the list on Stiles' Board. She looked as if she was about to cry,
"Malia."
She looks at me sympathetic before wiping her cheek,
"I said, "I wish you were all dead."
Grabbing her into a hug I kiss her cheek. Cupping her cheek rubbing her tears away I smile running a hand through her hair making her smile slightly,
"Killing doesn't run in a family."
She pulls away giving me a small smile kissing my cheek walking toward the door giving me one last glance,
"Maybe it does in mine."
Looking up she's gone. Picking up my phone I realized there was a new message,
I LOVE YOU
-MALIA
Smiling I look down and see another message from Lydia,
SOS I THINK I KNOW WHO THE BENEFACTOR IS
-LYDIA
