Fallen Angel (Stiles Stilinski//Teen Wolf Fan Fiction)

Chapter 19

Kathryn woke up, feeling like she did every morning. Excited to see Stiles and the rest of the pack, the friends she had always dreamed of, but nervous for whatever chaos was to come.

Kathryn had a quick shower, putting on her usual red lipstick, mascara and foundation and wearing red high waisted shorts with a black long sleeved top and black heels.

She curled her hair and picked up her bag, leaving her room to see Ira cleaning.

"What are you doing?" Kathryn asked, eyeing up the step momster as she dusted the walls.

"Doing what you and your dad have failed to do countless times. Clean" Ira said as if she were sassy, as if she could walk into the Hamilton house and bark orders and do what she pleases.

"Cleaning is low on my list of priorities i'm afraid" Kathryolled her eyes. Ira sighed, she was trying to get through the the only Hamilton child. Well, the only Hamilton child in California, a fact Kathryn didn't know.

Before Kathryn could give Ira anymore grief, Stiles beeped his Jeep horn. Kathryn smirked at Ira who didn't like the Stilinski family too much.

"Thats my cue"

"Okay, You see this? This is how they got in. It's a rooftop air conditioning vent. Leads down inside into the wall of the vault, which is here. Okay? One of the robbers was lowered into this shaft Now, that space is so small, it took him about 12 hours to drill into that wall, which is stone, by the way. Then throughout the rest of the night, they siphoned the cash up to the guys back on the roof through that one little shaft in the wall.Boom." Stiles said, pointing to areas on a blue print, circling and writing as he went.

"Can we fit in there?" Scott asked, Kathryn biting her nails like she did when she was nervous. 

"Yes, we can, but very, very barely. And they also patched the wall, obviously, so we're gonna need a drill of some kind. I'm thinking maybe a diamond bit..." Stiles trailed off, Kathryn rolled her eyes, looking to Derek who was already staring at her. With love and with pain.

 "Look, forget the drill" Derek sighed.

"Sorry?" Stiles asked, a little fed up with Derek's macho attitude. Stiles and Scott could see Derek's feelings for Kathryn from a mile away. Well Scott could smell it and tell Stiles about it.

 "If I go in first, how much space do I have?" Derek asked, not looking Stiles in the eye but rather looking at Kathryn, who was ready to step in.

"What do you... what do you think you're gonna do, Derek? You gonna punch through the wall?" Stiles laughed nervously, not believing Derek.

"Yes, Stiles, I'm gonna punch through the wall" Derek smiled cynically

 "Okay, okay, big guy. Let's see it. Let's see that fist. Big, old fist. Make it, come on. Get it out there. Don't be scared. Big, bad wolf.Yeah, look at that. Okay, see this?That's maybe 3 inches of room to gather enough force to punch through solid co..." Stiles trailed off, putting his hand infront of Derek as Derek got increasingly more annoyed. Derek made a fist, punching Stiles' hand. Stiles fell to the ground, Scott and Kathryn stifling back laughter.

"He could do it" Scott and Kathryn said in sync.

 "I'll get through the wall. Who's following me down?" Derek asked, looking to Peter who had been silent this entire time.

"Don't look at me.I'm not up to fighting speed yet, and honestly, with Isaac out of commission, you're not looking at very good odds for yourself" Peter deadpanned. Kathryn couldn't help but scoff.

 "So I'm supposed to just let them die?" Derek asked.

"One of them is already dead" Peter chimed in. 

"Can you maybe, shut up?" Kathryn smiled sickly at Peter who just winked back at her. Kathryn faked being sick.

 "We don't know that" Derek said, Kathryn noticing his vulnerability, something she had never seen before.

"Do I have to remind you what we're up against here? A pack of alphas. All of them, killers. And if that's not enough to scare your testicles back into your stomach, try to remember that two of them combine bodies to form one giant Alpha. I'm sure Erica and Boyd were sweet kids. They're gonna be missed" Peter said. Stiles and Kathryn rolled their eyes in sync, Kathryn was pretty sure if she rolled her eyes anymore they would roll back into her skull.

"Could someone kill him again, please?" Stiles said. 

 "Derek, seriously? Not worth the risk" Peter shook his head. Kathryn was more than happy to help, she would probably be better support for Derek and strength wise, than Peter.

"What about you?" Derek asked, looking to his side.

 "Yeah, if you want me to come..." Stiles said, Kathryn smirking a little.

"Not you" Derek sighed.

 "Got it" Stiles nodded.

"I'll go" Kathryn chimed in. Scott, Stiles and Derek had no doubt in their minds that Kathryn was strong but didn't want her in danger.

"No way"Derek shook his head. Kathryn glared at him, putting her hands on her hips.

"Why not?" She asked, pushing past Stiles to come 2 inches before Derek who rolled his eyes.

"No" Derek said slowly.

"You don'think I could do it? Im skinnier than every person in here, not to mention that granddad in the back there has almost no supernatural ability whatsoever, same with Stiles. I'm a lot stronger than I look you know, maybe if you used that brain of yours.." Kathryn ranted, Stiles, Scott and Peter smirking at how sassy and lively she could be. Kathryn went to pat Derek's head but he grabbed her hand gently, pulling her an inch closer to him so their noses were touching. Stiles straightened up and Kathryn stared wide eyed.

"I don't want you to end up dead" Derek mumbled. Kathryn gulped, staring into Derek's eyes as he stared at her lips. His grip on her loosened and she pulled away, cowering back into Stiles' arms.

Derek's eyes softened, putting two and two together as Stiles kissed Kathryns forehead, arms wrapped around her waist. They're together.

"I don't know about Erica. But if Boyd's still alive, we have to do something. We have to try" Scott intervened. Derek turned back to Scott.

"But?" Derek lead on, suspense between the schemers building.

"Who's the other girl? The one locked in there with Boyd?"
