"Young love tends to be based on nothing but feelings. The couple has not yet faced and overcome a challenge or difficulty together. They are passionate about each other. They think about each other constantly and want to spend all their time"

Everyone had headed back to the loft, waiting for Scott to return and explain everything. They'd decided against going to the hospital themselves, not wanting to risk blowing their cover or alerting Kira. For some reason, Barrow was after her — and until they knew why, it was safer to stay back and be fully informed before making a move.
"We're sitting ducks," Angie complained, pacing the room. She was tired of waiting around, letting Scott handle everything. Every second felt heavier, the desperation to fix what was breaking around them growing by the minute.
"Angie, be patient," Ava warned, though she couldn't lie — she was getting restless too. If it were up to her, she would've left for New Orleans with Chris days ago. But it was still too risky, too soon. They didn't have enough figured out.
"What'd I miss?" Tyler burst through the door, earning a few exhausted groans and eye rolls.
"Really?!" Stiles grumbled.
"Nothing, Ty. We're waiting on Scott," Angie replied, not missing the way some of them still weren't thrilled about Tyler hanging around.
Tyler just nodded and dropped onto the couch next to Lydia.
"What is Kira? Why is she so important?" Stiles finally blurted, unable to sit still. He wanted to be doing something — anything.
"I don't know yet," Ava answered, though the weight in her voice hinted she had a good idea. "Once Scott gets here and tells us what Barrow was after, we'll know more."
"But you've got a theory, right? You always have a theory..." Stiles pushed.
"Stiles, shut up and wait like the rest of us!" Angie snapped, frustration getting the better of her.
Stiles sighed heavily, slumping down into the chair, watching the clock and the door.
But even if Scott came back with answers, Angie kept thinking — what would they do then? Knowing what Kira was didn't solve the rest of it. It didn't stop what was coming. They were just sitting here, waiting for James to strike first.
Eventually, the door opened and Scott stepped in, greeted by a chorus of complaints and demands.
"I had to make sure she was safe at her house! I couldn't exactly bring her here yet!" Scott defended, holding up his hands.
"Okay, it's fine. We're just glad you're back," Ava cut in, pulling Scott aside. "Just tell us what happened."
"Barrow kept trying to take pictures of her," Scott began, glancing around at the anxious faces. "I didn't get it at first, but then I saw it. When he attacked, Kira grabbed one of the exposed wires and pulled the cord out of the wall. And... her eyes — they were glowing."
