When it rains, it pours.

Inner power

''Can you stop pacing for like one minute?'' Cora snarls at Stiles. Stiles glares his best glare at her, but she is undeterred. Really it's painfully obvious that she is Derek's sister.

''Nope-'' He answers while popping the 'p'. ''-I haven't taken my Adderall in like three days, so you're in hell for the time being, just like me. You really don't want to know where my brain is going at the moment. How thick do you think those walls are? And, how long have you been captured? How many times do they feed us? Do they use torture? Where do you think they put my wand? Where have you been since the fire? How did you escape?'' He rambles and then flinches because, ouch, maybe he should ease into the difficult questions. Oh well. He never said he wasn't an asshole.

He sees Erica facepalm like she can't even process Stiles at the moment, which is also fair.

Cora's golden wolf eyes are on display, and she is breathing hard, trying to get her temper under control, or so Stiles hopes.

Stiles just looks at her, and when she doesn't seem like she is going to talk, he starts talking again. He hears a groan coming from Erica.

''Your clothes don't seem ripped, so I don't think that they torture you, at least without slashing or something, which is a werewolf's favorite. If these walls are like any other bank vault, they are probably about 1 ft. The door should be 3,5 ft, so we have more chance to break a wall than the door. You don't look underfed, so I'm going with that you eat at least regularly. I can't answer the question of how long you've been here, Cora, but I'm guessing since the Alpha pack came to town, which is about two months now, I think.'' He takes a moment to breathe, and just when he wants to start rambling again, Cora is in front of him with a hand clasped over his mouth and a glare that can rival Derek's.

But Derek's glare stopped being threatening since they started dating, so he isn't impressed.

''Shut. Up.'' Cora growls.

''Yeah, that isn't going to work, Cora,'' Erica says with a sigh. She then stands and wanders over to them.

''Come on, Batman. We need you to get us out of here-'' Cora scoffs from Erica's words, and Stiles narrows his eyes at her. ''-Cora, please, he is Derek's boyfriend, well, one of them, and he is ridiculously smart, and he's magic. Believe me, if anyone can get us out of here, it's Stilinski.''

Stiles pulls Cora's hand away and beams at Erica.

''Awh! I'm flattered Catwoman. You're right, of course. I'm a freaking badass.''

Cora snorts, and Stiles glares at her again before he starts pacing again. It's so unfair that they took his wand when they found him. Well, maybe he is glad. It would have been bad if he had broken his wand when he was pushed off the stairs.

''Wait, one of them? Are you telling me that my big brother is an Alpha and has two boyfriends?'' Cora asks, sounding incredulous.

Stiles starts to laugh, and he sounds a little manic, but hey, he is allowed. He had a fight with his boyfriends, did something incredibly stupid, is now captured, and doesn't know if he will survive this. What the fuck is his life?

''Yeah, your brother is hot like burning. We still don't know how Stiles has snatched him-'' Stiles lets out an indignant noise. ''HEY! Why only attack me, he is also with Harry.'' He grumbles. He also still doesn't understand how he has snatched Derek, but it's rude to point it out.

''True, but Harry is terrifying. I'm not going to badmouth him. He is literally the Master of Death. Why do you think that I'm not freaking out? With you here, my Alpha and one of the most powerful wizards of the freaking world are going to freak out and will break down that door with minimal effort.'' Erica says like it's nothing, and she shrugs.
