spamalot } { of sibling spats and kanima venom

[hereditare]

Laura: [she hears Scott's call and she doesn't bother waiting for the elevator, taking the stairs two at a time. She doesn't answer it with a howl of her own, not wanting whatever it is to see her coming, which works out in her favor when the stairs open directly behind Derek. She can smell the blood and doesn't hesitate, charging forward and aiming to slam Derek into the nearest wall]

Derek: [bounces off the wall, but rolls to his feet in a low crouch. He's fully shifted and just gives a low growl at Laura, fangs bared and claws out] Not the alpha I was expecting, but close enough.

Laura: [she'll snarl like that, claws out and ready to do whatever she has to] Sorry. I was in the neighborhood, figured I'd drop by. [she doesn't glance back to the other beta, keeping her eyes on Derek] You okay, Scott?

Scott: [whimpers] Yeah, I think so. [he's just going to lay there in pain, Laura]

Laura: [good, she was going to tell him to do that anyway] Stay there. [and back to Derek] So what, you're just going to stare at me all night, or am I going to kick your ass?

Derek: [smirks, just watching her.] No, I was just wondering how long it's going to take you to howl for Mommy, since you're nowhere as near an alpha as she would have hoped you'd be at this point.

Laura: [laughs a bit at that] Oh, is that what we're going to do? You're going to try and hit me where it hurts? [she makes a mock look of pain as she puts one hand over her heart, and her tone is dry] You got me, right here. Problem is, you don't know shit about my mother, and I've been kicking Derek's ass since he was three. Pretty sure I can take you on my own.

Derek: Oh, are you sure about that? I played human for so long, Laura. I didn't know how strong I really was. But now I do, and you have no idea what you're up against.

Laura: [she laughs a bit at that] Sure. Whatever you say. I have yet to be impressed.

Derek: [his eyes flash and there is a shift in his body weight, thinking. Normally he wouldn't make the first move. He wants them to come at him. To feel the conflict as they force themselves to attack their loved one] I've yet to see you put your words where your mouth is.

Laura: [she gives a bit of a shrug] So what I'm hearing is that you're chicken. [she's just employing standard big sister tactics] And I believe the phrase is "money where your mouth is" which really makes no sense to me. Why would you put money in your mouth? That's just unsanitary.

Derek: What I think if that you can act all tough, but you do not want to actually be responsible for taking the first strike against your brother. You need me to strike first to justify your actions.

Laura: [she laughs a bit at that, before shaking her head] If you think that's it, you know nothing about siblings. I just don't feel like taking the bait.

Derek: [stands to his full height, not disarming, but still smirking] And that is why you won't win. [and he's actually just going to turn and walk away.]

Laura: [that's cool, she's going to worry about Scott right now. And not mention the fact that she texted Deaton that the nogitsune was at the hospital. She still keeps her eyes on him though, watching to make sure he doesn't turn around and try to catch her off guard]

Derek: [nope, he's going to just leave. He's already captured this territory now. Time to move on and look towards the Sheriff station.]

Scott: You can't... [yeah, he's healing but he's hurt bad] You can't just let him leave...

Laura: [She shakes her head as she turns to check him over] Don't worry about it. [her voice is low to not be picked up by Derek's hearing] We've got a back up plan.

Deaton: [is watching outside the hospital in his car and is just going to slowly follow Derek out of the parking lot]

Scott: [just nods, then winces in pain because omg ow, if he was human he'd totally be dead from stomach lacerations at this point]

Derek: [oh, he knows you're there, Deaton. Which is why he's going to head into a dark alley, and then disappear up and over a wall because nope, you're not getting anywhere near him with that lichen this time]

Laura: [yeah those are bad, but she can't keep letting him bleed all over the hallway.] Can you walk?

Deaton: [watches and can hazard a guess where he's going. In a text to whoever was sent that way: "Heading to the sheriff's office as expected. Make sure you have the venom ready." Possibly Chris if they gave him a throwing knife to tranq dart to deliver it with]

Scott: Maybe, if my insides plan on staying inside.

Isaac: [gets the text and licks his lips and looks at Chris] We've got incoming.

Laura: [nods a bit before lifting one arm and placing it over her shoulders] We just need to make it to that room, okay? [turns and points to the one right next to him. She can't hear anything inside, she's going to assume it's empty]

Chris: [nods before reaching for his gloves] I'll be ready.

Scott: [nods and he's good to make it, but yeah, lots of pain and blood loss and puppy is going to be down for a while]

Derek: [he's there in short order, knowing Isaac will be there, but he's actually looking for the pretty one that he's been hearing people talk about when it comes to Lydia.]

Laura: [that's okay, Laura will watch his back. And dodge calls from his wife.]

Chris: [is waiting when he arrives outside sheriff's office, not hesitating and hurling the knife covered in kanima venom in the direction of Derek's back]

Derek: [and he's going to spin and knock it out of the way, sadly it hits his shirt so there's no skin contact] Really, a throwing knife? [and wolf speed has him grabbing Chris by the throat and holding him up off the ground, grinning] I thought hunters enjoyed their little guns. [and he's going to reach up and take the gun in the shoulder holster and toss it behind him easily] Maybe you should have stuck with the basics. You're getting rusty.

Chris: [one gloved hand comes up and touches the skin of the wrist where Derek is currently holding his throat, knowing that there's still venom present from when he coated the knife earlier] Not as rusty as you think.

Isaac: [is coming from around the side of the building, and with Derek being a still target, shoots him with a tranq gun that the syringe also has the venom in it.]

Derek: [the first bit makes him too slow to stop the dart from hitting him, and he growls as his body starts to stiffen up and then become unresponsive. He drops, landing on his back and staring up at them, seething] Kanima venom?

Chris: [smirks a bit as he crouches over him] Handy, isn't it? [glances up to Isaac] Let's get him in my truck and get him back to the house.

Isaac: [coming around, texting the pack that they had him] Letting them know to regroup.

Derek: Maybe we'll be in time for family dinner. It is Sunday, right?

Isaac: Do you have anything to shut him up?

Chris: [reaches into the bag next to him and rustles around for a moment before pulling out a roll of duct tape.] This should do the trick. [and he'll just ... liberally apply that over Derek's mouth.]

Derek: [ just makes angry noises from behind the tape and the glare of death]

Isaac: Thank you. [and back to the Hale house they go? and sadly no sibling beatdown ;;]
