Who: Noah and Stiles Stilinski
Where: Apartment 5-A
When: 29th Nov
What: Noah catches up with his kid
Status: Ongoing
Warnings: Possible language - will update if required

Noah had been in this new world for a couple of days and it was definitely odd. The apartment building was comfortable and though he hadn't seen much of his roommates so far, he had managed to make himself at home. At least, as much as he could outside of Beacon Hills. The only real blessing about being here was that Stiles and his friends were also part of this world, which meant he didn't have to spend time in his own house wondering why the damn place was so quiet!

He sent a quick text to his son asking if he was doing anything and when Noah got the go-ahead he headed next door to see Stiles. "Hey son, how's your day been?" he asked as he stepped through the door and looked around. "Anyone else home?" he asked, wondering where the others were keeping themselves.

"Yeah, you're definitely working until your very last breath. Or they force you to retire. One of the two." He grinned. "Well, the city isn't that big. I mean, it's not small either. But not as big as it could be." It was only a slice of New York. It could be so much bigger. "Maybe it's a good thing I only have half of your genetics, huh."

He knew that. The crazy was just attracted to them all no matter where they ended up. "It's crazy. Mazes with monsters. Singing leprechauns. Joke telling frogs. And we wake up in different cities."

He laughed. He didn't know why, but it was just funny. "Obviously. Although, she seems to be opening up a little more than Derek. At least she talks to us. He doesn't."

Even Stiles was a little impressed that Noah seemed to be speechless. It took a lot to do that! He hugged back and then stared at his dad as the five hundred questions were tossed his way. "No, I haven't found one yet. I don't know when I'm going to ask her. And whoa, back up there, you're jumping far into the future here."

"They'll have to pries my badge out of my cold, dead hands!" Noah said theatrically, cause unless the retirement package came with a whole lot of perks he didn't know about, he wasn't buying into it! "Aren't there more murders in New York than anywhere else?" he asked Stiles, "or is this place less murder-happy? I mean, that would be a good thing, obviously. Just not for our work prospects," he said warming to the idea of the two Stilinski's on a case together. "Son, I hate to break it to you," Noah said with an arm around his son's shoulders, "but your genetic profile is way more papa-heavy than half!" It was like looking in a mirror sometimes, although Stiles had inherited a few of Claudia's traits he held dear too.

"Are you allowed to splat joke-telling frogs and singing leprechauns?" Noah asked entirely dead-pan. "Or shoot them? Cause that sounds like torture rather than crazy." Monsters were an everyday thing, though waking up in new cities was a big deal - or had been until incredibly recently.

Noah still wrinkled his nose just a little, wondering if a talking-Derek really would be any better. "Scott never picks the easy route, does he?" was the diplomatic answer he settled for. "So they're together now? I have to make room for this in my head? Or do I just file it under 'TBD' and pretend I know nothing?"

"Hey, I wanna see you tortured by miniature Stiles' before I die," Noah told his son with a broad grin, "so I'm looking to the future, like it or not and don't worry, I won't spoil the surprise. My kid, a married man... good going, son," he said hugging Stiles once more. "When you know, you know," he murmured, echoing the conversation he'd had with Lydia a few days earlier. Oh yes, you knew alright!

"I can picture it happening in my head." He really could. "Real New York, maybe. But this if fake New York. And not even all of New York. Just a sliver of it." He laughed. "And that doesn't scare you?"

He shook his head no. "They always came back. There was no way to get away from them unless you went into the bathroom, but even then there was a time limit."

Stiles had to laugh. "No, he doesn't. Umm, define together."

With a fake look of shock, he gasped. "That's not nice. You're not supposed to want to see me get tortured. Anyway, don't forget, it would be a mix of me and Lydia if we did have kids." Which was not soon. Like at all. "Not married yet. Not even engaged." He leaned in and jus let his dad hug him yet again. "I think I pretty much knew since the third grade."

Noah gave his son a half-smile and replied, "just try not to picture it too soon, huh? I have shit I want to do still." Even if this version of New York were smaller and without the coverage of the original he couldn't quite imagine it being so different. "Isn't population density more the issue? The more people are here the more likely they are to go batshit," he said with a knowing nod. It was one of the reasons he'd opted to stay in a small town, fewer horror scenes - which hadn't exactly worked out as planed. He raised an eyebrow, "are you kidding me?" Noah answered with a laugh, "I couldn't be more proud to see all my flaws and occasional gifts reflected in you, Stiles. It's almost magical, though mildly weird and disturbing at times."

He wrinkled his nose in disgust, "well I hope that particular plague is done with, cause I don't think I could handle those," Noah answered. He'd probably just run out of ammo and have to find some way of justifying discharging his weapon to the powers that be. Yikes.

"Well, traditionally 'together' means they're together!" he answered, giving Stiles a curious frown. "I know I haven't dated much in a while but have the rules really change so much?" Noah asked, wondering if he were about to get a lesson he really didn't want to hear from Stiles.

Noah grinned happily and sat back. "It's one of the joys of parenthood, so I'm told," he answered grinning. "Seeing your kids going through the same hell they put your through when they were kids and finding ways to top it while you sit back and fill them with sugar so that they turn up the volume to eleven." Oh yes, he was going to enjoy having grandchildren, one day. "All the mix means is that they'll have Lydia's brains and your energy. Good luck, kid," he said with a laugh. Yeah, he was totally getting ahead of himself but knowing Stiles was happy here meant absolutely everything to him. "Just don't put it off forever," he said softly, his smile waning ever-so-slightly, "you want to make the most of the time you have together."

"Oh yeah? Like what?" he curiously asked. "Sure, but we're also the only ones who actually live here. So, it could make things a little different." He really didn't know. He tried not to think too much about it. "Oh! See! Mildly weird and disturbing might as well be scary," he joked.

"I doubt it. Something always happens to us every month. We just never know what until it's here," he pointed out.

"They hang out and have sex, but I don't think they've actually said they're officially dating."

He really hadn't thought of it like that before. "Oh god, we're never sleeping again if we ever have kids." He knew that. He really didn't need to be told that. It was why he didn't want to waste too much time on this whole ring hunt. But he also knew that he didn't want to rush everything either. There was a nice balance somewhere and he knew Lydia and himself would figure it out.

"Hell if I know," Noah answered with a laugh, "but I know it won't be fishing. Maybe I'll learn another language or something," he said with a shrug. "All I know is I'm not nearly done with breathing," he told his son. Noah wrinkled his nose trying to understand what he was being told. "So the apartment building is all we have to police? I guess that makes for lots of coffee breaks?" he said wondering how they were going to fill time without going barking mad. "Scary is a whole other level! Just mild disturbance, that's all," he said laughing along with his son.

Every month? Jeez! "Expect me to get grouchy from time to time," he warned with a shake of his head. Noah couldn't help but wonder what would come next after frogs and leprechauns, but it sounded as though it would annoy the shit out of him!

"Okay, way too much information," he said giving Stiles the Time Out signal. "No idea where you got your lack of filter from," Noah said calling back to their early conversation, "but I hope it wasn't me!" It almost certainly was, though, and Noah knew it.

He shook his head and laughed, "and welcome to the wonderful world of parenthood," Noah said giving Stiles' shoulder a tender squeeze. "You're going to be an amazing father and husband," he said more seriously. "Lydia's lucky to have found you, I hope you know that, kid."

"I would hope not. You have to live forever." Honestly, he didn't want to think about that stuff. Losing his mom sucked. He wasn't sure how he would react when the time came for his dad. Nope. He really didn't want his mind going down this dark path. "I don't know if that's any better."

He was pretty sure his dad was going to be more than grouchy when he started having to deal with the crazy. "Okay."

Stiles gave his dad a I got it from you look. "You asked!"

He didn't want to be in the world. Not yet. They were definitely too young to have kids yet. "I just know that I'm lucky to have her."

Alright, that conversation had gone to a place Noah hadn't intended and Noah could see it in his son's eyes. "I'll do my damnedest, you can count on that," he told Stiles with all the love he felt for his son. He flashed him a smile and told him, "you're going to have to keep me busy, so I don't decide to check out early on you," he teased gently, knowing keeping him on his toes was a Stiles specialty.

"Just because I ask something doesn't always mean I need to know the details!" He thought Stiles had figured that part out by now, but it seemed like the kid still had stuff to learn.

Noah knew that feeling, all too well and nodded then pulled Stiles back for another hug, "and I'm lucky to have you. I love you, kid," he told Stiles softly. His little boy was really growing up and Noah liked the man he was becoming. Almost felt like he didn't fuck up with raising him.

"I know," he said with a half-smile. "I'm sure I can keep you busy right along with all of the stuff that this place likes to throw at us."

He shrugged. "This is me we're talking about here. When have I ever held back when you've asked me a question?"

There was so much hugging going on. Not that he was hating it. He had missed his dad. "Love you, too, old man," he said with a huge grin as he pulled away.
