A pen was in my mouth as I was going through my math textbook. Lydia was over with me at Stiles house, the pair of us were lying on the bed while stiles was going through his walls covered in detective work.

"What do the different strings mean?" She asked and I looked up from the textbook.

"Oh, just different stages of the investigation. Green is solved, yellow is to be determined."

"Blues just pretty," I whispered to Lydia and Stiles nodded his head connecting a red line to the wall.

"What does red mean?" the pen dropped from my mouth looking at stiles as he let out a soft sigh.

"Oh, unsolved."

"You've only got red on the board."

"Yes, I'm aware. Thank you." Smiling back down I started working on the questions.

----

"Tell me why we are here again?" I whispered as the three of us walked into the chemistry room.

"He was hiding in here," Stiles said opening up the chemical storage room. "Notice anything else?"

"The blood on the floor." Stiles looked to the floor as we all stared at the small pool of blood on the floor.

"He performed minor surgery on himself. But he was also here to kill somebody."

"But who?"

"That's what we gotta figure out." Stiles started searching the room and I watched Lydia walk to the front of the class. I tapped Stiles' back. "What are those?" Stiles whispered to me and I glanced over at him as Lydia picked up the chalk.

"Atomic numbers." I breathed back going over to Lydia's side.

"Is it a formula?"

"Not really. 19s potassium. 53s iodine. 88s radium." She started writing on the board as Stiles and I watched. "The first two make potassium iodide."

"Potassium is k?"

"From Kalium the scientific neo- Latin name." I whispered to him and Stiles did a double-take at the two of us.

"How is it that you two know everything?"

"We do the homework," Lydia said continuing using the chalk. Lydia stepped back as the name Kira was written on the board. We looked at one another.

----

We found Scott laying on the ground outside Kira's house. He'd already taken Kira. The moment Scott stood up calling Isaac not getting much of an answer.

"We have to think of something. He's going to kill her." Scott's blood pressure was going crazy. He really did like this girl.

"I knew he was there. How did I know that?"

"You heard the flies, right?" Stiles said as remembered something.

"What do you hear now?"

"Nothing but it's like on the tip of my tongue and I don't know how to trigger it." Lydia was almost crying and I stepped forward taking hold of her hand.

"Remember what my mum said, Lydia scream." She didn't hold back turning away from me she let out a loud scream making me stumble back and shake my head. Jesus. Stiles and Scott looked to one another waiting for Lydia to say something.

"It's not flying. It's electricity."

----

William was at his old workplace which meant Kira would more than likely be electrified if we didn't make it in time. Stiles parked the car but stopped Lydia from getting out.

"Wait here alright. Just wait for the cops to come." Stiles grabbed my hand as my eyes glowed and water pulled around me from the damp floor.

"Me? Wait why?"

"Well, I only got one bat?" Rolling my eyes at Stiles I walked ahead of him to the doors.

"Come on Stiles," I whispered running through the building to find where Scott went. There was a loud shout and stiles grabbed my hand pulling me in the opposite direction.

"Uh you go that way and I'll go this way." Nodding he went off and I went through a large archway. Stopping when coming to the large doors William was on the floor and Kira stood with electricity surrounding her.

"You know I feel like we're always too late." I breathed out settling the water down as Stiles came running back next to me.

"Yeah well, the cops won't see it that way," Stiles said back and I looked at him then Scott helping up Kira.

"What do you mean?"

----

The five of us sat in front of Scott's dad being investigated. The sun had already risen and I let out a long yawn.

"So when did you get there?"

"At the same time." Stiles quickly said.

"Same time as who?" Stiles pointed to Scott next to him. My parents are going to either kill me or ground me. Either way.

"Same time as me."

"By coincidence?"

"What do you mean by coincidence?" I said back quickly and Stiles glanced at me frowning while opening his mouth. "Sorry," I whispered to him.

"That's what I'm asking you. The two of you arrived at the same time was that a coincidence?"  I purses my lips looking at Scott and Stiles.

"Are you asking me?" Scott asked now confused.

"No, I think he's asking me." Stiles quickly said to Scott.

"I think he asking the both of you." Lydia butted in.

"Let me ask the questions." Stiles winked at him before smirking over at me which I nudged him and rolled my eyes. "Just so we're absolutely clear. Borrow was hiding in the chemistry cost at the school. Someone left him a coded message on the blackboard. Telling him to kill Kira. Then Barrow took Kira to a power substation and tired her up with the intent of electrocuting her. Which blacked out the entire town. How did you know he would take her there?" We looked to Stiles.

" well because he was an electrical engineer. So where else would he take her?" Stiles chirped up placing a hand on my leg.

"That's one yell of a deduction stiles."

"Yeah well, what can I say? I take after my pops. He's in law enforcement. We made a good guess." Biting my lip Stiles kept his happy face on.

"Are you believing any of this?"

"To be honest, I haven't believed a word Stiles has said since he learned how to speak." I snorted and Stiles squeezed my thigh. "But I think these kids found themselves in the right place at the right time And that girl sitting there is very lucky for it." The interrogation was over so I sighed leaning back on the couch.

"We should get going. I'm kinda pooped from saving people tonight." Stiles said pulling me up from the couch.
