Chapter Description: After going back their rightful dimension the Winchesters, Scott, and Jack meet Eli in person. Tension begins to rise amongst the group.

Scott sighed as he followed Dean, Sam, and Jack inside the bunker. Their phones began exploding with missed messages and calls.

"Did you guys not tell anyone you were leaving," Scott asked.

"Not really," Sam said, watching Dean call Noah back.

"Okay, dad," Dean said, "We're on our way right now. Keep an eye on that guy and I'll see you soon."

"What happened," Sam asked.

"A guy is over at Noah's house claiming to be Stiles's and Derek's son from the future," Dean said, "So we got to move."

Jack rode with Scott back to Beacon Hills.

Noah opened the door for Sam, Dean, Jack, and Scott.

"Hey, dad," Dean said, hugging Noah.

Sam and Jack also gave him a hug as well.

"So where's this mystery kid," Sam asked.

"Over here," Eli said, glaring.

His gaze softened as he saw the four uncles he grew up with. He slowly began grinning which quickly turned into tears.

"So you're the..."

Sam froze as Eli hugged him. He gave a questioning look to Dean as if he would know why he was receiving a hug. Dean noticed Sam's discomfort and pulled Eli off of him.

"That's enough..."

Dean stiffened as he received a tight hug next. He sent a quick look of help to Noah.

"Eli..."

"Yeah? Sorry," Eli apologized, letting go, "I'm sorry. I knew you called someone about me but I had no idea it was Uncle Dean, Uncle Sam, Uncle Jack, and Uncle Scott! I'm so happy to see you guys by the way! It's been too long... I... I missed you all so much."

"Why does it sound like we died in your timeline," Scott asked.

"Too much to explain in that department," Eli said, giving a look of sorrow, "But I'm your nephew... Or at least one of them..."

"One of them," Dean asked, "There's more of you?!"

"Well, I have two siblings, Deana and Nick so..."

"DEANA," Sam said, laughing hysterically.

Dean rolled his eyes at him finding it funny.

"They named their daughter, Deana," Sam laughed, resting his hands on his knees to catch his breath, "I just know the daddy issues is strong with that one... I could see the leather and whiskey combination now..."

Sam was wheezing as he continued laughing.

"Are you done," Dean said.

"Does she own a muscle car and listen to rock tapes too," Sam wheezed.

He fell to the ground, holding his stomach from laughing too hard. Dean turned back to Eli.

"So you can help us bring my baby brother home," Dean asked, "And you expect us to believe that without proof? I mean, why would you need to speak to Stiles's younger version and not yours anyway?"

"Because in my timeline my father and dad are already dead," Eli explained, "Otherwise I wouldn't waste any energy time traveling here."

"How'd they die," Scott asked, knitting his eyebrows.

"It's a..."

"I swear if you end that sentence with 'long story' I'm going to punch you in the nose," Dean sassed.

Eli sighed heavily and refrained from showing attitude.

"I have no choice but to help save my father," Eli said.

"Can't zap yourself to another," Dean asked.

"As I have mentioned before, Uncle Dean," Eli said, "Time traveling takes energy. The same energy I do not currently have at the time. I have no other choice."

"Fine, but if you think I'm staying here the whole time you're are," Dean said.

"That's fine by me," Eli reassured, shrugging.


Later that night, Stefan was on the phone with Klaus.

"I can see what I can find as well," Stefan said, "How's Jack by the way?"

"He's okay," Klaus said, "Why? Miss him already?"

"What can I say between Damon being gone and Jack at your home it's been a bit too quiet for my liking," Stefan said, smiling.

"I know what you mean," Klaus said, thinking about Elijah and Damon, "I have to go check something. Call me if you find anything."

"Gotcha," Stefan said.

"Thanks, Ripah," Klaus said, hanging up.

Klaus went to the kitchen where Sam, Dean, Scott, Jack, and Eli were brainstorming ideas on how to better help Noah. Noah himself was researching while asking occasional questions to them. Klaus stared at Eli for a while. In him, he saw what he still had a difficult time believing. It was like the kid was a spitball image of both Stiles and Derek mixed into one human. Even the way he went around explaining his explanation seemed to match Stiles's way of speaking his mind too. The perfect mix of hand gestures when he's trying to prove his point. His eyebrow movements showed Derek's genes all too well.

Klaus had been through a lot in his long life but the worst feeling in the world to him was losing his son. It seemed as soon as he gained Marcel back, he lost Stiles. Tears began welling in his eyes as he continued staring at Eli.

"I think I have an idea," Sam said, "You guys ever heard of the perfect point in the universe?"

"Yeah," Eli said, "That's very old-school mythology, however. Also extremely rare to hear about as well. My dad has some books on it back home."

"So get this, it says here in every point of the world there is a perfect point in the universe that connects to others," Sam read.

"So like a door without a lock," Dean said.

"There has to be a catch," Eli said, shaking his head, "This seems too easy."

A knife hit the wall behind Eli, making him stiffen.

"Who the hell cares," Jack said, bitterly, "This is our chance to find a better option to find Stiles. We're wasting daylight here. We should be out there actually doing something not standing here twiddling our thumbs like some brain-dead idiots."

"Jack, I know anxious to get him back..."

"Do you," Jack scoffed, "Do you really? Because last I remember we said we'd do anything to get him back. Whatever it fucking took! Or has that changed now that this guy that acts too much like my fucking older brother showed up claiming to be his long-lost son!?"

"We have to play it safe or else this could have deadly consequences," Dean reasoned, "I want him back too, kid..."

"When have we ever been safe," Jack growled, vibrating with anger as his eyes turned light orange, "Safe is no longer an option here. And don't you EVER fucking call ME a KID again!"

Klaus grabbed his shoulder, making Jack turn ready to snap him into oblivion. Klaus didn't flinch or show any signs of fear. Even though Dean and Sam both flinched hard.

"Let's take a walk," Klaus suggested.

Jack glanced at his raised hand and followed him out.
