"Thanks for leaving me out there last night, buddy. Something bit me you know." Scotts complains, but Stiles can't concentrate, not with that sinking pit feeling in his stomach.

Stiles knew he could of stayed home today but his dad was not home after last night and he could not be alone. Scott is helping.

"A bite you say? So what bug got you?" Stiles sarcastic defensive came out.

"It was not a bug, you ass. It was a wolf of some sort. I heard it howl."

Now that caused Stiles to start listening better.

"It was not a wolf, wolves have not been in California for years." He said rolling his eyes and walking away to say hi to Lydia.

Sitting in class was hard for Stiles on a regular day, but now his brother is in a war zone he is panicking.

Theres a new girl at school and everyone loves her. If Stiles was not preoccupied he probably have heard all what Scott has said about her. If Stiles looked at his phone one more time he would go crazy.

Stiles walked outside for lunch he could not breath in that building he knows his brother is ok but still. Then there was still lacrosse to tryout for he did not what to but he know his brother would be pissed if he put his life on hold.

School that day was hell for Stiles he had sucky classes and hated not paying attention in class, and now Scott wants to go in to the woods to find his inhaler because neither he or Scott can afford to buy a new one.

"Somethings wrong with me Stiles I can see, hear and smell things that I should not be able to see, hear and smell." Scotts shouting at him hoping he would finally to get him to pay attention.

"Like what?" Stiles said trying to calm the situation the last thing he wanted was an attack.

"Like the gum in your back pocket." Stiles looks at Scott like he is crazy while putting his hand in his pocket hoping to prove Scott wrong, but no Scott was right he did have gum. Pull it out he could see Scott was freaking out.

" I think I know what you have."

"What?" Scott stops walking waiting for the worst

"Lycanthropy" Stiles said being the little shit he is.

"What is that serious will I die." Hearing the panic in his best friends voice he could not help but laugh.

"No but you would turn in to a wolf every month." Trying to get away from Scott.

"This private property" Stiles is just smerking to himself. As Derek tossed the inhaler

"I know jackass it belongs to my buddy." His trying not to laugh but fails.

"What are you doing back?" He asks ignoring Scotts strange looks.

"Family business you know." Derek say just daring Stiles to say it and does.

"You know saving people hunting things." With the look Derek gave Stiles he then felt 10 times better.

"Well anyway you have my number catch up later I have to go home and cook dinner." He mumbles to try and get out of there knowing that Tony would call soon.

Waking back home he had so much going though his head he just needs a break. The boy of his wet dreams are back and his brother being stupid and going to war zones.

"So who was that?" Scott asks as they are walking back to the jeep.

"That's Derek Hale he used to live in Beacon before the fire that kill his family." The sadness in his voice showed but it was in sympathy for he has lost most of his family too.

Stile returned home just in time to wait by the phone. Usually he has the news on in the background while his cooking but tonight he did not feel like it. Stiles just wanted to be with his thoughts and family.

Stiles know something was going on when his dad called and asked if he was ok and that he was on his way. The Sheriff never left work early especially with a big case like last night, this caused Stiles to panic a bit but he played it off for his dad wanted to protect him from what ever happened last night. His phone rings and Stiles runs to it but almost drops it as he see whos calling. PEPPER the screen flashes. Stiles wants to ignore it he wants to hid pepper only rings when there is trouble, like Tony being in the paper for bad press. He knows it is different this time there is no tabloids trying to destroy Tony's name how could it Tony is not home. Oh god Tony is not home he think.

"Hello pepper is everyone ok?" Stiles ask trying so hard to sound normal but there are crakes.

"No Stiles it's not I'm so sorry..." She takes a long breath as if she's trying to find a way to say it with out ripping the band aid off.

"Oh god his dead isn't he?" He asked in the so breath she took.

"No his not," oh thank god he thinks.

"But?"

"At 1500 hours the convoy that was taking Tony Stark back to the air base was hit by enemy soldiers. Tony Stark has been taken hostage. I'm sorry Stiles they lost him they lost your brother oh god." Is the past thing he hears before he hangs up.

Stiles cares for Pepper and does not won't to scare her more but she can't hear him panic.

Stiles is drowning he can't breathe his lost everyone.

Stiles know his in trouble he just can't breathe can't think he feels numb. He remembers dropping the phone. Picking it up again he try's Tony's number thinking its just a joke it has to be right. Nope a big fat nope it does not even ring it just goes straight to voicemail but at least he can hear his brother voice one more time, but it does not help it makes of worse now. Now he can't see thinking he called his dad Stiles just Called a number but no his luck is bad today while will a panic attack be any different.

"Hello Stiles are you there? Are you ok?"

"Can't breathe dad I can't breathe."

"Hold on Stiles I am almost at your house." That was strange but Stiles does not think about it just before he passes out he see a figure in the door.

Wakeing up and blinking a few time he finally remembered and starts to panic again.

"Oh god Derek oh god his gone Anthony is miss taken I don't know what to do help me." Just then it's like the dam has been broken and he just cries and cries until there is no more tears left.
