"So, you're saying you can fling webs out of your wrist?" Scott looked at Stiles in disbelief from the passenger seat.

Stiles glanced over at Scott before his eyes went back to the road. They were heading to Derek's loft in Stiles' light blue Jeep. Peter Hale was wreaking havoc again, doing his best to try and become the Alpha again. He wanted to steal it back from Derek anyway he could. That meant he partnered up with someone to make sure that happened. All Derek said was he needed everyone's help this time.

"Yes, webs. You know you transform into a wolf, right? By getting bit by a wolf?" Stiles replied sarcastically. "Why is it so hard to believe I got bit by a spider and have spider abilities?"

"You've got a point there," Scott said watching the road before them. "But are you sure you're ready to use your powers? Even I didn't have control of my powers at first, Stiles."

"I want to help," Stiles said. He'd do anything to help his friends. So he kind of wrecked his room a little, broke a lamp... or two... when the webs first shot out of his wrists. And maybe the second time they shot out, too. Okay! Every time the webs shot out. But he can totally get them under control, right? I mean, if Scott can do it, he can too.

After Stiles parked, he and Scott hopped out of the Jeep and walked up to Derek's loft. Derek was standing by the window, turning around to face them as they walked in. Lydia and Allison were already there and standing by the table, Allison and Scott smiling as they saw each other.

"You're not exactly the ideal team," Derek started, putting his hand up to stop Stiles' retort, "but you're the best I've got. And we need all hands on deck."

"What's going on?" Scott asked.

"We know Peter's going after you," Lydia said. "But you've taken him down before. Why do you need help now?"

"Because he's not working alone." Derek responded. "He's got this creature... goblin looking thing." He said shaking his head at the memory. "And he throws pumpkins. Actual pumpkins. Except they explode like bombs."

"But you and Scott heal fast, so what's the problem? Why do you need us?" Allison asked.

"Because the pumpkin bombs are filled with wolf's bane," Derek said looking at her. "I barely got away last time, which is why I could use an expert archer and a banshee, too." He turned to look at Stiles. "You know a baseball bat's not gonna cut it? This green goblin creature flies on some sort of glider. Kind of out of swinging reach."

"Hey! I've got powers, too, you know!" Stiles said, his arms gesturing wildly as he talked. Which unfortunately meant with the little control over his powers that webs shot out of his wrists. And that meant that Derek was currently pinned to the wall by those webs. Lots of them. "Ooh, sorry man. Got a little carried away there."

"You're gonna get carried away. In a body bag if you don't get me down from here right now," Derek growled out struggling against the webs. "What the hell is this stuff made of?"

"Webby stuff, I don't know," Stiles shrugged as he gathered the webs. "Maybe it's got some special wolf deterrent, like the stuff they have in the sprays to keeps cats away from your furniture," he laughed. Stiles immediately stopped laughing, gathering the rest of the webs quickly and stepping back at Derek's glare. He tripped over the webs that trailed on the floor, getting tangled in them as he fell to the floor. "Oh crap!" He struggled, getting even more tangled as he tried to get up.

"What we need," Derek continued shaking his head as Scott helped Stiles up, "is to get the goblin off of his glider. If we can do that, then maybe we can subdue him and Peter. And we need to get those pumpkins away from him, or deactivate them somehow."

"We can do this if we all work together," Scott said. "Stiles included. We should work out the details and attack first, take them by surprise. That way they won't be prepared for us."

"One step ahead. I like it," Derek nodded. "Let's get to work."

They all talked for hours in the loft. Derek had an idea of where they'd be, where they'd attack next, so they worked out a plan. They had an idea of how they would stop Peter and the Green Goblin, as they were calling him. They each had a role in taking him down. But would it work?
