Allison missed Lydia. She missed her family. And she had been contemplating avoiding Scott to avoid asking him anything he knew about her demise. And she was trying really hard not to think about that. If there was anything that she was not good at it was stewing in silence and trying to ignore things simultaneously. She'd tried going for a walk, she'd tried going for a run, she found that at least when she'd been plagued by nightmares at least she had something to focus on. But with no Lydia, no sign of Stiles, and not enough time spent with anyone, it was definitely time to go see Scott.

She didn't want to scold him anymore, she tried to understand why no one had told her. And she thought she might have made the same decision as well. Maybe. She couldn't know. But she did hate that it had been Peter Hale of all people who had spilled the beans. But no one could have anticipated that and Allison was trying very hard to be sensible about it all. She didn't want to sour what could be a nice day, a well deserved nice day. And she still had to tell him about Spider-Man.

So when she pulled up in front of Scott's house she looked at herself in the rear view mirror and wondered if she should have called. She didn't quite know if they were still in the "drop by whenever you want" phase of things or if that went the same way as their initial try at a relationship. She found she didn't care much what the rules were once she thought about it. They were stuck here alone and this was the best it was going to be, and as far as she was concerned it was still pretty good.

So she locked her car, walked up the steps to his front door and knocked. And hoped he wasn't busy. Or with a girl. And suddenly her mind began to race. She was her own worst enemy most days. Sigh. She smiled anyway when she heard footsteps approaching.

Scott wasn't busy or with a girl. He was alone, as he was most of these days. The town still had people in it, but it felt unbearably empty. His house was a tomb without his mother, and he went through the motions of cleaning and picking up the house. He packed all of Stiles' things that he brought over and put them in the corner, for when he got back. He had to keep believing Stiles would come back, but he wasn't sure. He didn't even know where he was anymore, if the nogitsune was making plans, or if he planned on coming back.

He heard the knock and frowned for a moment, but it took only a quick sniff to tell who it was. He tensed, because he'd known about Allison for a long time, and he put distance between them on purpose. Scott had to find a way to keep her safe, but it was easier to do that if he thought independently, and didn't worry her with the information. It was the only thing he could think of to do. If Allison didn't have to die, she didn't have to worry. Nothing good could come out of telling her.

But she was at his door, so he gathered his positive spirit and opened it, smiling at her. "Didn't I give you keys? Do you need a new set?"

As frustrated as Allison was she smiled, and felt almost instantly better when he opened the door. There was something safe in the fact that someone was always happy to see her. There weren't many people around, there weren't many people she wanted to talk to. She missed her friend desperately, and while Scott was not exactly the same level of comfort that Lydia was, and there was a lot swimming between them, she let out a puff of an exhale and moved forward slightly (awkwardly) like she was going to hug him, but paused. Still smiling though.

"No, I just, didn't want to barge in." her weight shifted from one foot to the other before she moved forward again and hugged him. When she pulled away she kept her hands on his shoulders for a moment. "Hi, Scott."

Scott missed Stiles so much it was like a limb of his completely snapped off. He was helpless to stop it, and there was nothing he could do. He missed Lydia too, wherever she went, and it felt like they were all adrift, detached. So Allison was welcome, and the hug was even more so. Scott melted into it, like he'd been waiting for days, and he was never one to turn down shared comfort. He was soft and sweet, and he thought those habits made him a strange Alpha. Generally, there was nothing Alpha about him. Other than he led, but through group agreement.

He hugged her and closed his eyes, enjoying it for a few seconds. Allison would always be his first love, and extremely important to him. "You're never barging in. Honestly it's great to have company." Scott wasn't used to being lonely. As far back as he could remember Stiles was his constant companion, and he had his mom to lean on no matter what. "This town feels so empty, you know?"

Allison was glad Scott was feeling the emptiness too. Lydia's house was quiet, her own apartment was almost unbearable to deal with and she spent more time than she should have in the gun cage. Definitely not what she envisioned for herself when she'd been a little girl. But these days she found it oddly fitting.

"It does," she agreed squeezing him one more time for good measure. It was hard to let go. "Lydia isn't around I haven't seen her in ages. Peter Hale decided to strike up a conversation," she said pulling a more annoyed than disturbed face. She had come over here all set to be at least a little mad but it was just nice to be around someone, and when that particular someone was Scott his good feelings - even in a crummy situation like this - rubbed off almost like some kind of eternally upbeat pheromone that just floated around seeping into her pores. She wondered if anyone else felt that, and secretly hoped not. This she wanted to keep for herself. She was an only child, sharing was not her strong suit. But she kept it to herself for now. She barely even acknowledged its existence. She was allowed her secrets here and there, this one harmed no one.

"Peter? That's weird. He must've been bored without Derek to annoy." Scott couldn't say he was comfortable with the idea of Peter messing with her. She was still an Argent, and Peter couldn't be trusted when it came to that. But he also knew that Allison could handle herself, against Peter or anyone else. He would stuff down his worry. He had a hard time letting her go too, but he had to, otherwise it'd start getting weird.

"I think other Stiles still exists, I don't think he's here anymore." Where he was, Scott had no idea, but he could almost sense him out there. He gestured for Allison to come in more, flopping down on the couch. It was informal, he should probably offer her food and water, that sort of thing. But he was tired and sad. Allison knew him well enough to know he wasn't rude on purpose. "Kira's still around, I haven't heard from Jackson. I never thought I'd want Derek around this much, but I don't even know if he could help us." Deaton, maybe. Scott ran a hand over his face. "How are you?"

She sat down next to him on the couch but turned to face him with her legs curled under her. "It was weird," she said with a sigh. She didn't even know how to start that. "But more of a nuisance than anything else."

She listened about Stiles and didn't like the thought of some evil creature taking their friend for a spin through the doors causing all kinds of chaos. "I'm," she thought about it and gave a shrug. "Not dead?" she said with a tilt of her head and a sigh. "Which is apparently the alternative to being here."

Scott was a terrible liar. An absolutely horrible liar. Allison knew him inside and out, and even if she didn't, the guilt was there on his face. He should have known that she would find out, and it wasn't right to keep it from her, but at the same time. Multiple feelings crossed his expression, dark eyes darting away from her. "I'm ...." He thought about it. "I'm sorry. Kira told me when she got here." That first night, when he met this stranger who knew him, and told him horrible things were coming. But she was right about Stiles.

"I thought maybe if we changed what happened, that wouldn't matter, so you wouldn't have to worry about it." Not the smartest or healthiest way to respond to information, but Scott was still learning. And coping. He rubbed a hand on the back of his neck. "I don't know how any of this works, but that's not like ... the only end result, you know?" Or so he hoped.

Scott was a terrible liar. That was why she appreciated it when he didn't try. She listened to him, and looked at him, and knew he was sincere. He was always sincere. She didn't like it, and she wasn't afraid to let him know that, even if she understood.

"Peter Hale told me," she said with her eyebrows up and a little bit of a disappointed shrug. "That's why you should have told me," she added. She smiled a bit then, "But you're right Scott, it's not the only end result. I'm not going to die." No way.
