"Hopefully he dusts away... like half the avengers in Infinity War."

"I'm just saying..." Isaac trails suggestively.

"Isaac, we're not torturing her." Stiles shakes his head.

"No, I mean scare her-" Isaac shakes his head, speaking quietly.

"We're not psychologically torturing her either." Stiles interrupts.

"We could meow at her until she tells us?" Charlotte suggests.

"I don't even know if you're serious..." Stiles trails, looking at his best friend blankly.

"I'm not being serious." Charlotte shakes her head, wincing a little at Isaac before she follows Stiles, as if to say 'I did mean it, but don't tell him that.'

"Okay, how about this, you said she hears things, right?" Isaac asks as they look down at Meredith, who looks around the room thoughtfully.

"Yeah." Stiles nods, his eyes squinting a little.

"Doesn't that mean she's like Lydia? A Banshee?" Isaac asks, making Stiles turn to him in realisation.

"I thought that was obvious..." Charlotte trails, her eyebrows furrowing a little.

"Okay... Meredith?" Stiles asks, making the girl look at him.

"Focus on the sounds around you." Stiles tells her.

"On what you're hearing." Isaac nods, speaking quietly.

"Just focus on the silence..." Stiles trails.

"Listen to the silence." Isaac nods, making Charlotte look between the two in amusement.

"Focusing on the silence." Stiles smiles, trying to ignore Isaac.

"Listen to the-" Isaac starts.

"Okay, can you please let me handle this, okay? I have more experience with Banshees." Stiles turns to glare at the beta.

"Yeah, and mental patients." Isaac mumbles.

"No, I have more experience with Banshees." Charlotte shakes her head.

"How do you have more experience with them then me?" Stiles asks the Lynx in confusion.

"I've kissed one." Charlotte smirks.

"Huh?" Stiles and Isaac splutter in surprise, making her chuckle and turn back to Meredith.

"Ignore them, Meredith. I do." The Lynx nods, making Meredith nod and look down at her.

"We're got gonna ignore that? Right?" Isaac asks.

"Definitely not." Stiles immediately shakes her head.

"You hear anything, Meredith?" Charlotte asks her.

"Yeah, a phone." Meredith nods in reply.

"A phone?" The Lynx asks in confusion.

"Are you not going to get that?" The Banshee asks Stiles.

"Get what?" The human asks.

"The phone. Answer your phone." Isaac whacks his arm.

"Yeah, don't be rude." Charlotte nods at Stiles, who smiles at her sarcastically before he holds the phone up to his ear.

"Hello? Yeah, she's actually sitting right here..." Stiles trails awkwardly, looking over at Meredith.
