Before Derek could say anything back to the sheriff, a nurse called out, "Stilinski family?"

Derek started to move, but the sheriff gave him a stern look. He was clearly ready to accept that Derek hadn't hurt Stiles himself, but not ready to absolve him of blame. The sheriff went over to the nurse and left the group behind.

"That's not fair," said Erica, "you're his--"

"He can still hear, Erica, if you're quiet," hissed Lydia, shocked that she had to remind Erica of her own powers.

Derek focused in on the nurse's voice.

"He lost a lot of blood, but he's come through the surgery okay."

"I mean what...what even happened?" asked the sheriff.

"Has no one talked to you?"

"I just got here myself."

"A gun shot wound to each foot, I'm afraid I don't know any details as to what happened."

The sheriff pinched the bridge of his nose and Derek could smell the wave of fear that came over him, but the sheriff held his composure. "Will he be able to walk again?"

Derek hadn't even thought of that. All he thought of had been getting Stiles here, thinking that then everything would be all right. Thinking it all had to be all right. That's what hospitals did, right? 

The nurse spoke in a gentle tone, "So far there is no indication that he won't be able to, but he will have to stay off of his feet for some time."

"Can I see him yet? Can any of us?" The sheriff made a half-hearted gesture to the group, who were all staring and straining to hear the conversation.

"Not yet," replied the nurse, "but I or someone else will come get you when you can."

"Okay, thank you."

The nurse nodded and rushed off back behind the doors that they'd taken Stiles.

"I reckon you heard all of that?" the sheriff asked, his hand behind his neck, anxiously scratching. 

The wolves all nodded, but Lydia spoke up, "Well I didn't. What's going on?"

"The surgery went well," the sheriff said and Lydia and Allison sighed in relief, "but we can't see him just yet."

Derek was thinking about how hard it would be to slip past the doors and find Stiles's room anyways. Not seeing him was killing him.

"Now, is somebody going to tell me what the Hell happened?" asked the sheriff.

The pack all started to talk at once.

"No, no," said the sheriff, "You," he pointed to Derek, "you tell me what the Hell happened to my son."

Derek explained what he knew with Erica jumping in to explain the beginning of it all

"All right, I gotta put an APB out on Gerard. If the nurses come back, I want to be the first one to see--to see my son." His voice got a little quiet at the end. 

Derek nodded, but it took all of his restraint not to wolf out. The sheriff didn't know about Stiles's heart stopping, didn't know that Derek had heard it. There was nothing Derek wanted more in that moment than to see Stiles, but, he realized coldly, he had no right. The sheriff was family and what was Derek? Just a boyfriend? Boyfriend. That word didn't seem enough for what they were, but they had never talked about anything more, at least not in a concrete sense. 

Derek breathed calmly, reminding himself of what Erica said of not wanting to get kicked out. The sheriff wouldn't keep Derek from Stiles permanently, even though Derek could smell on him that he still blamed Derek somewhat for what had happened. Derek didn't care. He blamed himself too. If he had only been there...

Melissa McCall rushed the group, "I just got here, what can I do?" She instinctively hugged Scott and Allison to her, not caring if it was awkward.

"Can you let us know when we can see him, mom?" asked Scott, melting into the hug a bit.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll go now."

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
