stiles in new york

breathing is a daily task

John's pov

We were in this sort of lab with a metal table in the middle with stiles' body on it

I've been here for two hours just staring at him, I didn't cry or yell or talk just stare

I felt like there was a part of my life gone, like I had this perfect puzzle and someone just came in and took all the middle pieces and left me with the corners

I felt numb

My son mieczyslaw Stilinstki
My mischief
My light
My stiles
My everything is gone

I can't help but feel good about the fact that he is with is mother now and that he finally gets to see her again

I can see all the avengers come into the room but my attention does not leave my boys face

"I'm sorry we didn't find him in time"

Tony says

"It's not your fault, did you know that that lake was the lake the Claudia used to take stiles when he was really young in an attempt to teach him how to swim, but then she died and stiles never got to learn how to swim"

"Who was stiles, I mean we know who he was but what was he like"

I was silent for a moment until I found the voice to speak

"I had a son, his name was mieczyslaw Stilinstki but we called him stiles"

"Was that his real name?"

Natasha asks

I nod as I start to speak again

"I remember... When stiles was a little kid he couldn't say his first name not sure why it pretty much rolls off the tongue but uh... Closest he could get was mischief. His mother called him that until..."

"I remember when stiles first got his jeep, it belonged to his mother and she wanted him to have it." I take a pause smiling at the memory

"The first time he took a spin behind the wheel he went straight into a ditch"

I say laughing

"Tell us more"

Tony says as every one on the team had sat down listening to stories about stiles

"Stiles was always getting into trouble but he always had a good heart, always. This all began when my goofball son decided to drag scott, his greatest friend in the world into the woods to see a dead body, he had heard me talking on my radio about a body and wanted to go investigate, while they were out there I had caught him but Scott was still out there in the woods, he got bit and became a werewolf and that's how all of this started"

All of them were looking at me but I couldn't take my eyes off of my son's beautiful face

"He would've Been nineteen in a month"

I say, Phill smiles and then starts a confession

"John do you remember when I came on a family visit on Christmas last year"
