He could still hear Caroline's words in his head. It was a reminder that Stefan didn't always have to be the one, but somehow, he found himself in situations where he wanted to help. Where he wanted to make things better and this was no exception. He did tell Caroline that he was going out to meet with someone, Alex and they were going to try and figure out what was going on. Stefan headed toward the lobby and saw a woman sitting there, he assumed it was Alex and he walked around her to stand in front of her.
"Hey, Alex?" He asked, and once he got confirmation from her, he offered her a soft smile. "I'm Stefan."
No, he wasn't exactly sure what they were going to do, but she had mentioned something destructive and while that was probably not a good idea, meaning they had no idea what or who was controlling them, he would still help and still wanted to be a part of this because he had to know what was going on. He just didn't want to get too caught in it that he couldn't get himself out. He wanted to be there for Caroline. He already had a mystical vampire huntress after him and while she was locked up, he wasn't exactly too confident about that.
Just because she was supposedly locked away didn't mean he wouldn't do whatever he to in order to protect himself and Caroline. He needed to find the rare herbs that Freya had used on him to cover his mark, to block the supernatural signal that brought Rayna to him. He just hadn't gotten that far yet and Freya wasn't here from what he had seen.
