Charlie thought her first school emergency would be a bloody nose or rushing to get an ice pack to the lacrosse boys. A seizure scare was not what she was expecting! Erica Reyes had a scare during gym trying to climb the rock wall. The Stilinski girl, being the new nurse, offered to go with Erica to the hospital while Mrs. Gilbert, the older nurse, stayed at the school.
"You feeling any better Erica?" she asks the girl softly as she enters her room after being told that she's woken up.
"Aside from the humiliation?" Erica mutters, avoiding looking at the nurse before sighing, "I'm fine. I just wish I never have to deal with this. I just wanted to climb the wall you know? Be normal." she says looking at her with tears gathering in her eyes from frustration.
"You are normal sweetie." she reassures the girl.
"But not like them. I don't want to worry about stepping the wrong way all the time. Saying the wrong thing. Falling over and being helpless while having another stupid seizure." The blonde cries out, letting the tears fall.
Charlie pulls the girl into a soft side hug, rubbing her arm as she cries. She felt bad for the girl, teens can be cruel to one another so she can only imagine what she's had to deal with on top of her condition. Then an idea came to mind. "Erica, if there was a... way, to no longer worry about any of that. To have an advantage. Make all the side effects of a seizure go away." she hypothesizies to see the girl's reaction.
Erica sniffles, "I'd take that in a heartbeat." she says, wiping her eyes.
"Even if there was a catch? Cons to go with the new pros?" she asks as she reaches to get the teen a tissue.
"Anything is better than this." Erica replies, a serious look in her eye as she stares at the wall ahead of her in almost defeat.
"Erica..." She says in a much more serious tone, gaining the blonde's attention, "What if I told you, I knew of a... gift that could do all that. Would you be open to that?" she tells her.
The blonde teen sits up a bit, "Tell me more."
Charlie nods, "Let me make a quick call and then I'll explain everything the best I can." she says, getting a nod before she exits the room and pulls out her phone.
With two rings her call was answered, "Hey, I think I found someone open to hearing us out. I'm at the hospital with her right now if you want to help explain with me."
"I'll be right there." Derek replies, wasting no time to go.

"You found another one already?" Charlie questions as she changes her clothes from her scrubs, the two back in their apartment.
"Yeah, he said he'd think about it. But called me and said he'd take it." Derek explains to her.
"What's his name?" the girls asks as she opens the bathroom door and enters the room.
"Vernon Boyd." he tells her, handing her a jacket.
She grabs it, "Huh, name sounds familiar. Stiles must know him or something."
Leading her to the car, "He told me that he has no friends, but people talk to him for favors. Which he's over it." Derek explains as he begins to drive them to the ice rink.
"You explained all the cons, right?" Charlie asks, making sure that he went through the whole explanation when she wasn't there to help.
"Yes, he knows about the hunters, the blood lust, the emotions, the heightened senses, and everything else you have worried over." he reassures her.
