Running with Wolves

Chapter 58

I woke up a little, I was in Scott's arms,
Scotty said" How about I take you home?"
Liam said" I'm not like you."
" Not yet."
" I don't mean I'm not strong or I'm never gonna learn how to be in control. I mean everything else. You and your friends try to protect everyone. Have you been doing this the whole time? I mean, how are you all still alive?"
" Not all of us are. Let me at least take you home."
I whined" Stiles?"
" I'm taking you by the hospital." He nudged me up, I wrapped my arms around his neck.

I walked into the hospital, instantly catching Stiles' smell, I ran to it. I pushed open the door, he looked at me,
He said" Hey, bub." I ran to him and climbed onto his lap," I'm okay, Riley."
I said" Melissa's job!"
" I regret ever telling you what Melissa does. And I'm fine, okay? No big deal, I heard you almost got ran over by Derek."
" No big deal." He chuckled,
" Yeah, compared to the last few... almost getting ran over sounds pretty small." I yawned," Hey, why don't you go to sleep?" I nodded my head, nuzzling against his neck," How about on the bed?" I shook my head, whining," Okay, been away from me for too long, huh?" He held me in his arms, and I fell asleep.
——
I woke up to being lifted up, I whined and nuzzled into my hands,
I mumbled" Home?"
Stiles said" Yep, going home." I wrapped my arms around his neck, he wrapped an arm around me.

I was playing in my room, rolling around in string I found, I sighed, then played with my power ranger toys. I grabbed a grape and chewed on it while I spun around, dancing to imaginary music. I stopped spinning around and played with my toys again, I yawned then rubbed my eyes, they glowed, before going back to normal.

Stiles ran in,
He said" Come on... what? How? Never mind, come on! We gotta go to the lake house." He lifted me up, and moved string from my eyes," There's my brother." I smiled, giggling, he carried me downstairs, Malia tilted her head at me," Don't ask. He likes string, but it doesn't like him." He put me into my carseat, buckling me in, he threw my backpack in next to me and got in with Malia. He pulled out of the driveway and drove fast, this must be big kid stuff and there's no one to watch me.
——
I was playing with tigger, they were listening to the spinny thing on the way, they called it a record player, so I guess that's what it is.
Stiles said" What are we doing? This room wasn't even made for us. You know, we need someone like Lydia or Meredith, and we're just sitting here listening to a stupid record player play a record that doesn't play anything. Come on. There's plenty of other things we can be totally useless doing." I still heard the noise from the record player,
Malia said" Stiles."
" Yes?"
" I can still hear it."
" But it's not on."
" Then it's something else. Something spinning."
" Uh..." I walked over to them, and looked from the side,
I said" What's that?" I pointed to something going into the wall, Stiles moved the stuff away. He grabbed the wire, then pulled at it, it broke the wall, but he kept pulling. Stiles pulled the wire till it stopped then they moved the wall, and we looked at a big machine.
Malia said" What is it?"
Stiles said" The deadpool." I looked at them, then Malia tried to punch it but Stiles stopped her." No. You can't just smash it to pieces. Okay? If this thing's being used to disseminate the list, then it's probably gonna keep going until everyone's dead."
" Then what do we do?"
" It needs some kind of prompt or command or something, right? No, no, no."
" What about a key?" My eyes glowed, I growled then rolled around with Tigger.

I heard Malia say" Riley, move." I moved, and she threw a bottle on the ground. Stiles moved the glass and grabbed a key, he put the key in the keyhole of the machine. He turned it and the machine turned off with it, I looked at him.
