Regression to the mean 2: Chimera

Apotheosis

Grace P.O.V

I sit silently in the back seat of the car as Chris follows after Parrish, who is chasing after the beast. Looking down at the cane in my hands I pull the dagger out and stare at the blade.

"You knew didn't you?" Chris asks making me look up at him in confusion

"I wasn't certain, but I suspected. Although, it makes sense that Marie-Jeanne's pike would be re-forged into something that could appear as innocuous as a cane" Gerard answers and looks back to me then down at the cane.

"This?" I ask holding up the object. "This is the thing that killed the beast the first time?"

"Will it kill him again?" Chris asks

"You're damn right it will, we're just missing one thing" Gerard says as he stares at me with a smirk on his face.

"Why am I with you guys?" I ask as I lean forward and stare right back at the old man.

"That Miss McCall is a very good question, you see. The only way to kill the beast is to find a Argent to wield that dagger" he points to the cane that I set down next to me

"So one of you two can do it" I shrug.

"Like I already told your friend Lydia, Only a female Argent"

"Kate? How am I supposed to find Kate?"

"My daughter has been tainted by the supernatural to mush to be a viable candidate"

"So what? You have another daughter that no one has heard of?" I ask annoyed at the half answers.

"Not a daughter, an ancestor" he replies as he turns back to the front and I lull over his words.

Ancestor?

"An Ancestor? As in someone who is dead?" I exclaim

"Not just someone..."

"Marie-Jeanne" Chris cuts his father off

"How am I supposed to find someone who has been dead for over 200 years?"

"You don't" Chris begins

"You resurrect her" Gerard finishes, stunning me.

"Resurrect? As in bring back to life? Is that even possible?"

"By anyone else, no. But by a Phoenix, that's a whole other story"

"How do you know I can do it, I haven't even got my wings"

"We have no choice, Grace" Chris snaps

"It's the only way" Gerard adds "Do you want to be the reason your friends failed because you questioned whether or not this is the only way to kill the Beast?"

"What do I do?" I cave but I don't miss the smirk that twitches on the side of Gerard's mouth

Scott P.O.V

I pull up outside of the clinic and park the car, getting out, I move to the back seat and open the door and help Liam pull the last doctor out. Thankfully the lights to the clinic are on meaning Deaton is still inside and can help. Liam and I guide the doctor inside and come face to face with Deaton and Stiles

"He's still alive" I announce and we drag him over to the operating table. Lying him down Deaton and Stiles come up to him and I ask my boss "Can you keep him alive?"

"I'm not sure he technically is alive" He answers as he tugs at the Doctors clothing

"Screw keeping him alive. How do we get him to talk?" Liam asks, he's been kind of pissed since we split form Grace
