HAZEL AND DEREK WERE HAVING ALL THE GUNS ON HIS TABLE AS HAZEL WAS TESTING THEM OUT WHILE DEREK SEEMED TO BE IN HIS THOUGHTS WITH HIS HANDS PRESSED DOWN AGAINST THE TABLE.
"I'm still relying on these things." Derek spoke up.
"I get it. You miss your power." Derek looked at her. "I would too."
He looked back down and shook his head. "It's not about power. I don't like feeling helpless."
Hazel backed up from those words. "I may not be human anymore but I was. And did I look helpless?" She said and clicked the gun steady.
"You're a much better shot than me." Derek grinned at her.
When he gazed back down, Hazel's confidence fell as she turned serious at him. "Do you really think you won't be coming back?"
"Not alive." He shrugged making Hazel drop the gun and stepped next to him.
"You know I'm not okay with that." Derek looked up at her and straightened himself as he stepped closer to her and gently touched her jaw as their lips met.
It was long enough to know that he was going to be fine. That everything was going to be fine if this all was going to become an end.
They separated only to lean their foreheads to each other with closed eyes. Derek exhaled. "I am." That made her open her eyes and slowly look up to him which he also did. "If it saves Scott and Kira." He slowly pulled away. "But to be honest, I don't even know if this is enough firepower."
"Not even close."
They both heard a voice as they looked up to see the one and only Peter stepping down the little steps.
"Killing a Berserker is next to impossible. It's not just the firepower, it's breaking the animal spirit from the human." Peter said, slowly stepping towards them.
"Well, the one person that we know with that kind of experience is Argent. And he's not getting back to me." Derek said.
"Well, then we're going to need help. Like Malia, maybe Liam. Definitely me." Peter slightly grinned.
Hazel scoffed and faced Peter with a better view. "Since you're talking about 'help'. I know some of my own ones that might be a good use to enter this game. If not have the strength to kill this Berserker than why not someone that used to be an old friend of yours?"
Peter tilted his head at that. "Are you telling me that there are more Vampires than I think?"
Hazel shrugged at that with a grin. "I'll give you a hint. Hybrid."
That's when his expression dropped in what seemed to be shock and trailed his eyes down to get clear after what she just said.
"You heard me, Peter. And believe me, I've had enough conversations with him. Guess what? He's also not here to kill you. He's here to be an unexpected help for us too."
Peter looked up at that. "And what may that be?"
Hazel slowly grinned. "To kill Kate."

Hazel pulled up in the warehouse with the Van as she stepped out of it only to be met with Malia, Stiles & Liam coming out of his truck.
"How did you get a prison transport van?" Stiles questioned Hazel.
"A friend of mine is one of a U.S. Marshall. Borrowed it from her." Hazel winked.
"Yeah, I just thought that was just a cover." Hazel rose a brow at that as she still had that slight grin on her lips.
A slam made them turn to see that Peter & Derek. "Are we really bringing him?" Derek pointed to Liam.
"Are we really bringing him?" Stiles pointed to Peter.
"We're bringing everyone that we can." Peter stated. "And considering Scott and Kira were taken the night before the full moon, we should probably get going."
"What's that mean?" Malia asked.
"If Kate took Scott back to the same temple that she took Derek, how do we know she's not planning to do the same thing to him?" Peter said.
"What, she wants to make him younger?" Liam questioned.
"Or take him back to when he wasn't a werewolf." Derek said. "A werewolf can't steal a true Alpha's power. But maybe a Nagual jaguar, with the power of Tezcatlipoca behind her," He inhaled. "maybe she can." Stiles wiped his mouth at that. "So, if everyone is sufficiently freaked out, I say we get going."
"We can't." Stiles stated. "Not without Lydia."
A few moments later, Stiles was passing around as he tried to call Lydia but she wouldn't pick up, leaving everyone else standing there and waiting.
"What's she doing at the school anyway?" Derek asked.
"We got Kira's sword but we need something with a stronger scent." Malia said, as she showed him the sword. "Lydia went to get a jacket out of her locker."
"Nothing." Stiles said as he came back.
"If she has a car, she can catch up to us." Hazel said.
"That's a good point. We'll call her from the road." Peter said.
"What if she's in trouble?" Stiles said.
"Fine. You stay, you find her. We're gonna go on without you." Peter said.
"I could call Mason." Liam spoke up. "He has a study group at school. Maybe he could look for her."
Derek tilted his head at Stiles that gave in. "All right, fine."
They made their way to Hazel's Van but turned around when . "Remember what we're dealing with here. It's not just Kate. It's Berserkers. You might see Human eyes behind those skulls. Do not assume that there's any humanity left." Peter looked at Liam that seemed nervous ever since he got there. "This little one is terrified of them, aren't you?" They glanced at Liam. "Don't worry, my friend. It is that fear that will keep you alive. Reminder to everyone. You do not fight Berserkers to survive. You fight to kill them."
