[ Melissa is not in her scrubs this time, but her civvies, and she’s smirking quietly to herself. The memory of Scott closing the door in his father’s face is one that she’ll treasure for a very long time. ]

Hello? Scott McCall and I are back again. I think we just took a year off the poor worker’s life, the guy doing the drywall in the clinic? Yeah, not pretty. I’ve never seen a saw bounce before. Hope I never see it again.

[ And, sure enough, there’s a very loud buzzing just off camera. Apparently the worker heard that. Oops.

Into the feed, a wild Scott McCall appears! Just his head, anyway, leaning down into it beside his mother’s. ]

But, he’s fine, he’s fine! [ He looks off screen.. ] Nobody was injured. [ He looks back. ] Sorry to anybody if we had plans. But, we’re back now and we’re not planning on going anywhere. [ Unless everyone else gets out with them.

Melissa pokes her head back into frame again.]

Oh! And Lydia? Tell me you fed the cat? I mean...how long have we been gone, after all? Ziggy wasn’t too much of problem, was he?

[ Scott is about to say something else, but he notices something offscreen. ] No way. [ And he slides out of frame leaving Melissa to take the reins. Offscreen… ] Cool.

...Okay. Just a note to say we’re back. Stiles, Isaac, Derek? Are you all okay?

[ And Scott is back. ]

You’re still here, right? [ Scott brings it closer, fiddling and then soon, the feed is private! ]

derek ]

Thanks. [ To his mom. To the device... ] I think I’m all caught up. Sorry if you came by Monday night. The City thought we didn’t need to talk. But, we still should.

isaac ]
We will hang out this weekend.

[ Fiddling with it again, Scott adjusts to make the feed public once more ]

public ]

So, that’s what leaving is like. We had no clue we were here. And then we were just… back. If anybody needs us, we’ll be back at the apartment in a couple of minutes. Angela, I’ll be in to work tomorrow. [ A beat before he adds ] Has anybody heard from Wally?

[ ooc: Replies will be coming from both Scott and Melissa! ]

I don't know. [ He really doesn't. Riding the line of spoilers. ] But, it doesn't come up back home.

Did Derek really sleep with our evil English teacher?

[ He's the most transparent. ]

Yeah.

[ How does that... have to do with anything? ]

But, that's not why.

[ Hey Scott, Stiles is kind of in love with the guy he's supposed to hate !!!!!! ]

I didn't think he'd sleep with someone for pack purposes.

Is that something people do? [ Wait. Yes. ] Sorry. Ethan and Aiden. But, Lydia took advantage. And when I'm from -- it's real. Him and Lydia. Ethan and Danny. They're on our side now. [ Getting sidetracked. ] But, no, Derek slept with her because... he liked her?

[ Throwing himself on his bed. ]

The evil twins are on our side? Seriously? [ THE FUTURE: SO CONFUSING. ]

Seriously. [ He takes a seat by his head, leaning against the headboard. Or, wall, if it's a wall and has no head board. ] They're not so bad.

They're not so bad. [ Parroting. ] They're evil twins.

They're not evil. They did what Deucalian told them to do. And he helped them when they were in a bad place. They protected Lydia and Cora.

[ ... ] They're evil. You should listen to me. I know when people are totally shady.

They were taken in by a psycho. There's a difference. [ He looks down at him. ] And they're not here so it doesn't matter.

[ So serious, Scott. ]

Okay, got it. So if they show I shouldn't panic.

Figure out when they're from - then you shouldn't panic. [ But, if they're not from when he's from, everything could be fair game. ]

Time lines are super complicated.

Tell me about it. [ Swinging up his legs he's going to settle into bed next to his best friend. ] We're all from different ones. [ And he can't say anything about certain things and it's just really frustrating at times but he'd made the decision. ] Maybe you'll go home soon and catch up to us.

Yeah, maybe.

[ He isn't sure he'd exactly want to hope for that. ]

Sorry I left. Next time, I promise to leave a note. [ Not that he'd know. Sigh. ] Or I'll bring back souvenirs.

Daily texting!

[ He's totally sold on this idea. ] I mean it sucks, we could disappear at any moment.

At least we come back? The City's never done with us. I don't know if we should be flattered. [ Contemplation. ] Did I miss much?

Nope.

[ It's not exactly a lie. It's omission of the things that Stiles doesn't think Scott needs to know. ]

No pirate curse?

[ He elbows him. ]

If it did, I missed it.

You'll get your parrot someday.

[ He lays there, breathing. It's nice to just... stop. To just breathe and look up at the ceiling. ]

Yeah.

[ He fist bumps the air. ] One day I'll be the awesome alternate universe Stiles.

I don't know. I like this Stiles. I think he's plenty awesome. Maybe awesomer than any other.
