[ somebody sounds hideously worried, even over the background noise of the city being all AHHH OUR POWERS SUCK SO BAD RIGHT NOW ]

Stiles? I can't really talk because i'm helping out at Leo's, but please, please tell me Hale is okay. There's something wrong with my powers, and all my drawings are coming out wrong- [ dead or broken, right ] I don't- He's okay, right? And you're okay? Or are you powers messed up too?

[Voice]

[teenyoda]

[And he's picking up because maybe he's been worried about his very special redhead and is just glad that she's okay.]

We're okay, Rach. Honest. He's fine. A little freaked out and I've had to use the fire extinguisher a few times, but he's good. And yes, my powers are screwed and I'm not even going to try to use them again.

[He'd tried to light a candle on a pie at the Highwind. BIG mistake.]

[Voice]

[truesight]

Good. Okay. [ p h e w ] Good idea. I don't think some people can even control their powers right now, so. Just be safe, okay? Seriously, there are people who are literally frozen solid outside, and I'm pretty sure I was hearing somebody else's thoughts a couple of minutes ago, and-

I'm going to get to the Highwind as soon as I'm done here, okay? I'm in Thor district right now, towards the center of the city.

[teenyoda]

[He wanted to come and rescue her, but he had no idea what from or if he'd even be any use at the moment. And she was a big girl who could take care of herself...

But she was his girl and he couldn't help feeling overprotective.]

Do you, um, want me to... come to the Highwind?

[truesight]

Wait, are you not at work? I thought you were, sorry.

[ ha ha ha Rachel is trying so hard to learn his schedule, and now it's obvious. granted, they usually work the same kind of hours, but occasionally they get separated, and she thought today was one of those days ]

I want to meet up with you as soon as I can, I don't care where.

[teenyoda]

[It might have been, but Jade had told him to stay at home after that candle incident until whatever was wrong got sorted out. So he was at home. Watching Hale and trying not to set fires. Go him.

But it was still a relief to know that she wanted to see him.]

So... I'm not being an overprotective jerk by wanting to see you right now too? I'm at home, by the way. Me, Hale, Cora, and five fire extinguishers.

[truesight]

[ oh, aw, that makes her smile ] No, you're not being an overprotective jerk. I want to see you, too. This is different, this is- so messed up. I keep wanting to draw, even though I know I shouldn't. Like the city wants me to use my powers even though they're all botched right now. I don't know.

You can help me avoid sketching and I'll help you with Hale and the puppy, yeah? Totally not overprotective or jerkish at all.

[teenyoda]

Don't draw. Like... anything. If you need something, I'll pick it up, but don't draw anything.

[He could only imagine what could go wrong with drawing life and he didn't want her to doodle something that might come out and hurt her. Because, yeah, that would make Stiles a not very happy Stiles.]

But come over, okay? Dad won't mind if we all stay together when crap's hitting the fan.

[truesight]

Okay. Yeah, I'll probably be about an hour or so. Maybe less. But I'll head straight to you.

[ there's some background noise, then- ]

Listen, I have to go, but I'll try and get out of here as soon as I can.

[teenyoda]

Do I need to come get you? Because I'll come get you.

[He was already pushing up from his chair, wondering if they could get back here with little fuss.]

[truesight]

No, no. I'm helping with first aid stuff, so I can't leave. But it's a mess outside, so I don't want you out there either.

One hour, tops. I promise. Love you.

[Rachel... you were getting such a spanking/scolding for hanging up on him.]
