[Open Zero Spam]

[Stiles sits with his back to the wall in a cell in Zero, scowl etched onto his features. He can hear Jackson's heart beating from across the hall and he wishes he'd ripped it out of his chest so at least he'd have some peace and quiet while he's stuck down here. Being alone would be better than being stuck in the same vicinity as Jackson Whittemore.

He shuts his eyes and covers his ears with his hands, forcing himself to take slow, deep breaths. He doesn't know exactly how containment down here works, but he knows that short of someone letting him out, he's trapped for now.

It's fine. He'll deal. He always does. He's not thrilled about it, because there are things he could be doing if he wasn't locked in a freaking jail cell.

He opens his eyes again when he hears the distant echo of footsteps approaching -- but whether they're approaching his cell or Jackson's, or if someone else is being locked up -- that he's not sure about yet.

So he stares at the bars ahead, eyes dark and narrow. Waiting.]

[He's never done well with boredom. After several hours of sitting in relative silence, he picks up his comm. The boredom is as evident in his tone as the sarcastic taunting.]

I have to say that if this is the worst you people can do for punishment, I'm severely disappointed. No wonder our barge graduates more people than yours. You don't even have an ounce of creativity.

Do you have a higher graduation rate? Cite your sources, Stilinski.

Nobody's bothered to tell me.

[She doesn't know, Chromie doesn't have a strong idea, and the Admiral is useless for questions like that.] At least I'm not here for getting off on my power like most of your little club does.

Why, though? You're Stiles Stilinski from- what, an alternate universe? So it's not just two ships passing in the night, so to speak, but somehow your Barge, from an alternate reality, ended up crossing paths with ours? It doesn't make sense.

[ not any logical sense, at least ]

What was your world like, before you were picked up by the Admiral?

Fortunately or unfortunately, that probably depends on the warden you're asking.

[Allison nodded, looking a little sheepish as she did. After all, she wasn't actually an Alpha yet. She had all these trappings: Betas, an emissary, she was leader of her pack...if not for the role she'd been trained to fill in her family, she probably never could have handled any of this. She led her pack like a clan of hunters, peppered with instincts and compulsions that sprang from her animal nature...and by sheer luck, it seemed to work.

She was just secretly afraid she might not be worthy of all the trust placed in her.]


I do...sort of. There's an Alpha in my world, a great man named Deucalion? He took in an emissary named Julia Baccari after her Alpha slaughtered her own pack in the name of gaining power. She was a lot like the Scott we know now, killing Betas to become stronger. She worked with his emissary for a while, but when he joined us, she offered to serve the Argent pack. She's the sweetest woman, and very knowledgable...she was left with some pretty horrible scars from her Alpha, but you could never hope to meet a more beautiful person.

[A shadow clouds Allison's features as she lowers her gaze, nodding as she rolls her lips together in a fretful gesture.]

Yeah, they're not good people in Lydia's world, either. Which..I guess I could see how that can happen? But the ones I know...Deucalion's a very wise man, and he cares deeply for his pack. He's always been an advocate for peace with the hunters, and thanks to my grandfather it cost him his vision. He said he was angry for a long time, but he found his way in helping others. People like Julia...and people like me.

[Her expression softened with affection and admiration as she thought about Deucalion...leading him by the arm as they took walks to keep a watchful eye on Gerard and Victoria's activities and the long talks they had...running with him under the full moon, powerful and deadly, eyes burning like coals and whole again during his shift...]

I think it was Lydia I told...Deucalion likes to say that losing his sight gave him clearer vision than most. It's very true. Everything I want to be as a leader, I learned from my father, but everything I want to be as an Alpha? I learned from him...and I know I'm right, because the version of Scott we met in the arena? He easily could have been a student of the Deucalion I know.

It'd depend on the situation. And the person.

...yeah, I'm not that patient. Stand by, I'll do the math.

[She cuts the feed, and about ten minutes later calls back, holding up her notebook to a page full of tally marks.]

I might be off by one or two, but my memory of both worlds is pretty good. Not to gloat, but we're beating you guys in both rate and volume.

Mmhmm, exactly. And if they don't believe that, well.

[ hn. her eyes narrow a little tiny bit at that, but she's not going to take the bait. she'll take the poke at her intelligence instead, yep. just. going to take that. for now. ]

That's a little vague, no?

Don't worry, man.

[He flashes a smile, fang-tipped.]

No one's touching me.

[He's as arrogant as ever, except there's something in his eyes that says he's worried. He's scared. He's not on top. He's never as strong as he wants to be. He needs to be stronger. So he can protect himself - and Stiles.]

Casting aspersions on my statistical integrity, well I never.

[She's not actually upset even a little. She flips back through pages and pages of names, marked with different letter codes for what status they had where and what happened to them, musing half to herself.]

I'm actually interested in the answer, tweaking the numbers would be counterproductive. I'll have Babs and Bianca look it over. They've both been here for the previous two convergences, Babs keeps track of everything and Bianca can represent your side, and I'm pretty sure time lord memory is scary stuff.
