[ 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! ]

[He scratches the back of his head.]

You lived through it all? I mean yeah the recital is the last thing I remember.

I lived past that. Everyone lived past that. We're all alive. [ This is all good news! ]

[He beams]

Great. So everything is okay?

[ What a question. ]

Yeah, pretty much everything's okay. Stiles' dad is alive and he knows. My mom, Allison's dad. You. We're all good.

[He just keeps smiling though.]

That's good, really good. But uh, what's the pretty much?

Huh?

[ Werewolf says what? ]

Pretty much everything's okay? That doesn't exactly sound like absolutely everything?

Enough. Everyone's alive. Deucalian's gone. Jennifer's dead. [ They think. How to distract him. Oh, he's going to take this route. ] I'm an alpha. [ ... RIGHT? How cool? ] But, don't worry, I didn't kill anyone. [ Thankfully. ] I just... am one? It's called a "true alpha."

[Quite a lot to take in at one time, excuse Isaac's dazed expression.]

Oh..kay....

It's really cool. Through my sheer force of will and strength of character... I was always meant to be one.

[Cue Isaac laughing momentarily, because wow even to him that sounded vaguely ridiculous like Scott was telling him some kind of Superhero origin story.]

Uh, great, I mean... that's pretty good, right?

Isaac, I didn't have to kill anyone. It's awesome.

Well I'd be less happy if you did kill someone, but uh, at least we'd know how it worked that way.

I know how it worked. I broke through a circle of mountain ash.

So now you can do impossible things? What's your next miracle gonna be? [Because he can't help but poke a little bit of fun.]

It's only impossible until it's done, then it's possible. [ He gives Isaac a look. ]

Okay, Yoda... [Wow Scott, why so much gravitas.]

[ It's the alpha in him. Also, things finally went their way after going the other way for months. ]

Who?

[Eye roll]

How can you even be friends with Stiles and not know who Yoda is?

Who is he?

He's just a character out of Star Wars, you have to see it some time...

You too with Star Wars?

Dude I'm like ninety-nine percent sure everybody has seen Star Wars, except you.

Not everybody.

Everybody except you, maybe the people from other dimensions where there's no movies too...
