(the picture above is the charm bracelet nova always wears)

Nova stood beside her brother in their father's hospital room. "Alright, Mr. Stilinski." The doctor starts to say as he looks at the clipboard he held.

"Sherriff." Stiles corrected him.

The doctor nods. "Sherriff Stilinski." He looks at Noah after looking at his clipboard. "I've got you scheduled for surgery first thing in the morning. Unfortunately, it's going to take a little digging to get that slug out of your shoulder."

"Yeah, it's fine." Noah replied as he signed a form. Before the doctor left, he gestured the doctor over, needing help with one of the question. Nova and Stiles move out of the way so the doctor could stand by the bed.

"What's this one here?" Noah asked, pointing at a question on the form.

"Patient responsibility." The doctor responds. "Parts of the procedure and hospital stay not covered by insurance."

"Are those big parts?" Noah questions. "Expensive parts?"

The doctor shakes his head. "That's between you and your insurance unfortunately. You should start feeling the morphine in a minute. Try to get some rest, Mr..." He then corrects himself. "Sherriff." He sent a smile at the nervous looking siblings before he left the room.

Stiles bounced on the heels of his foot anxiously, biting on his nails as Nova fiddled with the charm bracelet she always wore. The charm bracelet had stars and moons on it and it was the color silver. The charm bracelet meant a lot to her because it was given to her by her mother. Even though her mother bought it, Stiles was the one who picked it out for her. Stiles had picked out the stars and moons on it because of Nova's name meaning star.

"Hey," Noah speaks, noticing his anxious kid's antics. He shakes his head. "Both of you, stop that." Stiles stops biting his nails, crossing his arms while Nova stops messing with her charm bracelet, folding her hands in front of her. The siblings looks at Noah speaks. "I was just curious about the terminology. We're not in any kind of dire straits."

"I know about the bills, dad." Stiles said. Nova looks at him with confusion, not having any clue what he was talking about. He sighs. "I know about the collectors calling about Eichen House. I know about the advance from the department, about the cards."

"Stiles," Noah furrows his eyebrows. "Are you going through my stuff?"

"Yeah," Stiles shrugs. "I go through all of your stuff. Espeically when you keep things from me and Nova."

"I keep things from you two because you guys don't need to know everything." Noah told him.

Nova bites her lower lip, continuing to stay silent as she fiddled with her charm bracelet. This conversation was getting intense and she was starting to feel like maybe she needed to leave the room so it was just Stiles and their dad since the conversation didn't include her. After deciding what to do, she leaves the room, going out into the hallway. She lets out a sigh and leans against the wall. She knew that their family have been having money troubles and she just wished there was something she could do to help.

She almost forgot she has enhanced hearing until she heard her dad yell at Stiles. "You're not supposed to take care of me! Neither of you kids are supposed to take care of me! I take care of you and Nova."

She jumps a bit when she heard her phone ring since she wasn't expecting to get a call. She gets her phone out of her pocket, seeing that Liam was calling her. She furrowed her eyebrows. It was somewhat late out so she wondered why he was calling her.

"Hey, Li, what's up?" Nova questioned.

"You need to come over right now." Liam replied in a urgent tone.

That made her more confused and also on high alert. She got off the wall she was leaning on as she speaks. "What's wrong?"

"My printer just started printing out of nowhere." Liam explains. "It's the Deadpool, but it's kinda different."

"Okay," Nova starts heading to the entrance of the hospital. "I'm on my way."

After hanging up with Liam, she texts Stiles to let him know what she was doing. A few minutes later, she arrived at Liam's house, thankful that super speed is one of the abilities you get with being a werewolf since that got her there faster. The window was already open for her so she climbs through, furrowing her eyebrows at seeing papers scattered on his bedroom floor.

"Is that what I think it is?" She asked him, just then noticing he was knelt on the floor, looking at one of the papers.

Liam nods, standing up and walks over to her. He shows her the paper he held. Her eyes grew wide as she read it. He was right. It was the Deadpool, but this time Derek is not on the list and the number beside Liam's name is higher than it was before.

"I'm not worth three million anymore. Now I'm worth eighteen million." Liam speaks, fear lacing his voice. Nova notices beside her name that the number had changed as well which made fear grow within her. They lock eyes as Liam continues to speak. "And so are you."

****

The next day Nova walks into school, a bit upset about the fact that she had to take the bus to school. Stiles was working on trying to come up with the next decipher key along with Lydia which meant that Nova didn't have a ride to school. And Nova hated riding the bus, but she would rather take the bus than walk to school.

A yawn escapes her lips while walking down the hallway. She had stayed over at Liam's a bit late playing video games since he asked her if she could stay later. And when he used his puppy dog eyes on her she couldn't say no. He almost acted like he was afraid to fall asleep. Like how she was the other night after she had that nightmare. That made her wonder if Liam was having nightmares.

Her eyes grew wide when she bumps into someone. "Sorry about that!" She apologized, realizing that she bumped into Liam.

"Oh, hey, Liam." She was about to smile, but frowns at seeing how Liam looked all around him, looking as if he was seeing if someone was following him. "Li." She tries getting his attention, but his frantic eyes still looked at anything that wasn't her. "Liam." She speaks louder, finally getting his attention. "What's wrong? And don't say nothing 'cause it's obvious something is wrong."

Liam sighs, his shoulders dropping in defeat. "I haven't been able to sleep lately because of the nightmares I've been getting. They're mostly about the Berserkers. The night Scott was dead on the roof of the hospital there was one there and I tried fighting it off, but..." He shakes his head as he stammers. "I-I couldn't."

Nova frowns. "Why didn't you come to me when you had nightmare? I would've try to help you calm down enough so you can get some sleep."

Liam shrugs. "I didn't want to be a burden.

"You're never aburden." Noca reassures him and he smiles a bit at her. "I understand that feeling of fear." Nova tells gim. She fiddles with her charm bracelet, a shy smile tugging on her lips. "But when I slept with you...Slept in the same bed with you, I didn't have any nightmares."

"Yeah, me neither." Liam admitted, glancing down at his feet shyly.

"But don't worry, Li, you won't have to fight anything alone. I got your back." Nova smiled.

Liam looks up to look at her, a smile tugging on Liam's lips. "And I got yours, Noves."

The two begin to walk to their first class which happens to be one that they share. "So, are you going to the bonfire tonight?" Nova asked him curiously.

Liam glances around them as he speaks, looking for that Berserker he thought he saw earlier when he was talking with Mason. "Yeah, I kinda have to since I'm on the lacrosse team." He relaxes when he didn't see one and he looks back at Nova. "Are you?"

Nova shrugs. "Parties aren't really my thing. And neither are bonfires."

Liam playfully elbows her. "You should go."

Nova chuckles. "You just want me there so you're not alone."

"Exactly." Liam nodded.

"Even if I didn't go you wouldn't be alone since Mason is going." Nova said and a smile tugged on Liam's lips.

"So you're going?"

"Probably going to regret it," Nova replies and nods with a small smile tugging on her lips. "But yes."

****

And Nova was right. She already regretted going to the bonfire and it was just the beginning of the night. Music blared through speakers. Teens were gathered around where the DJ was set up and other teens were gathered around the bonfire, some dancing, some drinking alcohol. Nova was sitting on top of a picnic table on Mason's left side and Liam sat on the picnic table on Mason's right side while Mason sat on the bench that was at the picnic table. Nova wasn't for sure if she should tell Liam that he couldn't get drunk because of the werewolf powers, but she eventually decided she'll just let him figure it out for himself.

Nova looks out at everyone, noticing Malia was dancing nearby, holding a flask that most likely was full of some sort of alcohol. She saw Scott was talking with her and she tilts her head to the side as he looks over at where she and her friends are sitting after something Malia said. Nova glances back at Liam when she saw he poured some alcohol in the Dr. Pepper bottle he had and drank it along with the rest of the Dr. Pepper that was in there.

Liam looks at her and Mason, surprised neither of them said anything. "You guys aren't going to tell me to slow down?"

"Actually, I was going to say 'keep drinking'." Mason shrugged. He went on to say that he thinks that Liam should get really drunk.

Liam chuckles. "Why?"

"Maybe then when I ask you what's going on, you'll be too drunk to lie." Mason replied.

Nova bites her lower lip, looking at the ground. She did feel bad for keeping Mason in the dark about the supernatural stuff. "I'm not asking this because I want to know. I'm asking because I want to help." Mason continued.

Liam is quiet for a moment, glancing over to his left. Nova saw that he noticed Malia and Scott. She tilts her head to the side as Liam stands up, dropping the empty Dr. Pepper bottle on the ground. She furrowed her eyebrows when she noticed he stumbled a little.

"I'm gonna go get another drink. And yeah," He looks at the two with a smile. "I'm getting drunk."

Minutes past by and Nova was surprised that Liam was actually getting drunk. She thought that werewolves can't get drunk, but whatever that was in the alcohol is doing the trick because he's stumbling over, barely able to hold himself up. Nova got off the picnic table, going over to help Liam to keep him on his feet.

Nova glances back to where Malia and Scott are standing, seeing that Scott was looking around with worried eyes and she noticed that Malia didn't look too good. Nova helped Liam sit down on the picnic bench, her eyebrows furrowed together with concern. Mason was now standing, looking at Liam with concern. Nova glanced over at seeing Scott had come over to them.

Scott looks at Liam with concern and looks at Nova and Mason. "How much has he had to drink?"

Mason shakes his head. "Not enough to get him like this."

"Scott, what do you think is going on?" Nova asked the brunette-haired boy. She grew confused and worried when she noticed her eye sight was beginning to get blurry and she suddenly started to feel light headed. She leaned her elbow back on the table to prop herself up.

"Something's happening." Scott replies, looking at her and Mason, pointing at Liam. "We need to get him out of here. I think we're gonna have to, um..." Scott stumbled a bit, staring at his hand with furrowed eyebrows.

"How much did you drink?" Mason questioned.

"Nothing." Scott shakes his head. "Not even a sip."

"And how about you?" Mason asks, looking Nova with furrowed eyebrows. "Nova, you shouldn't be acting like you are now. You haven't drank anything."

"Yeah, I know." Nova mumbled, confused at why she felt this way. It felt like she was swaying back and forth as if she was on a cruise ship. She never got drunk before, but she was sure this wasn't how she was supposed to feel if she got drunk. She heard like some kind of buzzing noise for a minute which made her wince slightly at how loud it sounded to her as the music was turned up louder and then it stopped.

"It's not the drinks." Scott realizes. "It's the music." He manages to stand up. "I have to turn off the music."

"But Scott..." Nova speaks, her words beginning to slur together. "You can barely stand."

"I'll be fine." Scott assures her. He glances at Mason. "Don't let them out of your sight." He told him, referring to Liam, Malia, and Nova as 'them'. His voice was barely audible over the music and cheering, but Mason quickly nodded as Scott went towards the DJ set up.

Suddenly three security men grabbed Liam, Malia, and Nova. "Let's go!" One of them yelled.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Mason demands, stepping in front of the three. "These are my friends."

One of the security men shoved Mason backwards a bit. "Your friends are overly intoxicated." As he speaks he sounded annoyed. "They need to be escorted out."

"Okay," Mason nods. "I'll go with them." The security man in front of him shook his head.

"That won't be necessary." Mason steps forward in an attempt to protect his friends. "I said, they're my friends!" The security man roughly shoved Mason, causing Mason to fall back on the ground, landing on his back.

The three security men took Liam, Nova, and Malia into the school, dropping them on the floor in front of the lockers which is the same thing that happened with Scott. Scott was the only one who was awake, the other three knocked out beside him. He looks at security man in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed at seeing the gas can the man held. "What are you doing?"

"Haigh says that we have to burn you." The security man replied.

Scott's eyes widen, glancing over at Liam, Nova, and Malia with worry while the man poured the gas over each of them. Scott tries to get up, but the man kicked him back down as he breaths heavy. The man pulls out a lighter, turning it on. He smirked at Scott and Scott glared at him. A few seconds later Scott noticed that his vision went back to normal. Scott looked at the doors of the school, realizing that the music was turned off. He smiled, happy that Mason figured out a way to turn it off.

His eyes glow red, looking back at the man, and he grabs the man's hand that held the lighter in front of him. The man looks at him with wide eyes as Scott breaks apart the lighter while holding onto the man's hand so tightly that it hurt the man. The action caused the man to groan out in pain and then suddenly Braeden appeared around the corner, knocking the man to the ground.

By this point, Liam, Nova, and Malia were starting to wake up. Nova furrowed her eyebrows as she slowly sits up, wondering what had happened and what was happening at the moment. She was happy though that her vision was finally back to normal, but confused at why she, Liam, Malia, and Scott smelt like gas.

Nova notices Derek walking down the hallway towards three security men who had began to walk forward. Derek started attacking the security men along with Braeden, leaving the four supernatural teens to watch with wide eyes. When each of the security men were knocked out on the floor, Derek walked towards the four supernatural teens.

"What happened to the gun?" Scott asked.

Derek furrows his eyebrows at him, speaking in a duh tone of voice. "You're covered in gasoline."

Scott nods looking as if he realized what just happened. "Oh, yeah."

****

"Kira found Brett." Scott announced, walking into his living room where Nova and Liam sat on the couch. He had brought them to his house after what happened at the school and was planning on taking them home.

"More assassins?" Liam questioned as he and Nova got up from the couch.

"Maybe a lot more." Scott answered, walking towards the front door with the other two teens following him.

Nova tilts her head to the side, looking at him with curiously. "Are they different from the ones that just tried to set us on fire?"

Scott nods. "I think so, yeah."

Nova followed him to the door, stopping when Scott suddenly stopped after he opened the door. That's when Nova realized that Liam wasn't following them. While Scott closes the door and looks back at Liam, Nova glances back at Liam as well, seeing he was staring at the motorcycle helmet he held. Nova knew that helmet was usually the one Allison wore which made her lips turn into a frown at the memory of her. Liam sat the helmet on the table while Scott closed the door, walking over to him and Nova.

Scott sends a smile to Liam, setting his helmet on the table and picks up the helmet Liam had earlier, offering it to Liam. "How about I take you home?"

"I'm not like you." Liam spoke in a sad tone.

Scott shakes his head. "Not yet."

"I don't mean I'm not strong or I'm never gonna learn how to be in control." Liam continues. "I mean everything else. You, Nova, your friends try to protect everyone. Have you been doing this the whole time? I mean, how are you all still alive?"

That last question made Nova remember of the ones they lost and the ones that aren't in Beacon Hills anymore. Allison, Aiden, Boyd, Erica, Ethan, Isaac, and Jackson. Even though at the beginning she was kept in the dark about the supernatural stuff that didn't mean she didn't know any of them. Some of them she got along with more than others, but it still made her upset that they aren't there anymore.

"Not all of us are." Scott replies to Liam, handing the helmet out to Liam again. "Let me at least take you home."

Nova followed the two out the door, getting her phone out of her pocket when she felt it buzz. She noticed she got a text from Stiles, telling her that he was still at the hospital and their dad was at the station. So Nova decided to get taken home since she was tired.

"Am I taking you home too?" Scott asked, glancing at Nova with raised eyebrows.

Nova looks at him with a hopeful look in her eye and nods. "Can ya?"

Scott smiles a bit and nods. "Of course." He gestures to her and Liam with a nod of his head as he starts walking to the front door. "Come on, you guys. Let's go."
