"Stop, " Derek ordered Cora who had been doing pullups for the past five minutes. "You're not done healing."

"Yeah? Well, I'm done lying around." Cora yelled, sweat pouring from her body.

Derek exasperated, "Then sit."

Cora ignored Derek and continued working out, "Are you gonna help me go after them?"

Derek came up behind her as she was doing push-ups, and kicked her arm out from under her, "Come on!"

She stood up and started beating on Derek's chest, "Fight back!" Derek just stood there, Cora scoffed, "I came back for this? I can't believe I got my ass thrown in a vault for three months for you! All those rumors I heard... A powerful new Alpha... One of the Hales! Building a pack! Do you know how long I waited to hear something like that? Do you have any idea how it felt to find out you were alive?"

Derek turned around and grimly said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you." suddenly a red alarm started to blare throughout the apartment, sending Derek into a slight panic.

A man opened the industrial door, teeth extracted and claws out. Cora runs at him, "No, wait! WAIT!" Derek hollered.

The man picked up Cora by the neck and slammed her on the ground, which would have been fatal if she were human. He looked at Derek, and growled, "Ready for a rematch?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Everybody done?" Deucalion asked calmly, "'Cause just listening to that was exhausting."

He makes his way over to Derek who is on his hands and knees, blood seeping out of his mouth and down the pipe that pierced through his chest.
