Serendipity

Chapter Seven: Bardo

Nobody's Pov

Basilia sighed and clapped her hands together, gaining the attention from everyone.

"Now, what is about to be shown is another important piece of information you all need to know. And trust me when I say none of you are going to want to miss it" Basilia explained.

Her eyes flickered to Scott and Chris before quickly looking away.

Everyone was confused about her words but they believed it had something to do with the nogitsune being released.

Maybe what they're about to see will explain more.

The screen turns on and we're shown outside of a vet clinic as it rains and lightning is heard. Soon the leg of the dog that's being bandaged is shown as someone rubs the dog's chin.

"Good boy" the voice of a young girl says.

The camera pans out and we're now seeing Deaton and an older Scott McCall.

Everyone's eyes widened at future Scott onscreen. Some couldn't help but check him out.

Stiles let out a whistle before turning to smack his best friend on the shoulder.

"Looking good, Scotty" Stiles complimented him with a grin.

"I agree, you look good" Kurt nodded with a small grin.

Scott didn't say anything, he just stared at his future self onscreen. 

He had changed so much and he couldn't believe that he was rocking a buzzcut, something Stiles did when they were younger.

But he smiled at the compliments he received from his best friend and Kurt.

Scott smiles at the dog before wrapping his arms around it.

"Ok, come here buddy" Scott told the dog.

He lifted the dog up and crouched down as he lowered him onto the ground. The young girl crouched down as well.

Scott looks at the girl, "do you know why Cooper bit the lieutenant?".

"Because he was scared?" the girl asked, tilting her head.

Some of the women couldn't help but coo at her cuteness. The men simply smiled.

Stiles and Kurt smiled at the girl onscreen as they couldn't help but think she reminds them of their daughter.

"He was scared for you. It's one of the best parts about dogs, they fight for us. Remember, the same way that we see them as part of our family, they see us as part of their pack" Scott explained to her.

The girl smiled at him and nodded her head in understanding.

Deaton nodded at Scott's words, a small proud smile on his face.

Scott smiled at what his future self said and nodded his head in agreement. It was true after all.

He and his pack were family, no matter what they were always going to be family.

And families fought for each other no matter what. Something he and his pack have done since the beginning.

The camera pans outside where we see the girl and her family leaving the vet clinic to head to their car and go home.

Melissa glanced between the screen and her son before smiling softly.

Not only has Scott grown into a fine young man but he's a veterinarian, something he was always good at, something he always wanted to be.
