[Hayley shrugs, because sometimes you don't need a complicated plan? What in the world is that? She ducks her head back around the corner and spots the industrial fan switches on the far wall.]

Worth a shot.

[And with a whoosh she dashes to the other end of the room, pausing just long enough to flip all the switches - just in case - before zipping back to the door again.

The witch's head darts around, hearing the room coming to life but not understanding what is happening with her sad human ears.]

( Derek sits, innocent. The fans come to life slowly, before kicking in full blast. Before the witch can do anything, mountain ash goes up in a puff, not just freeing Derek, but choking her as she breathes some in, startled.

Derek is still banged up and weak.

[That's okay, Hayley's got his back. She rushes in, moving quickly to snap the witch's neck so that she drops to the ground without ceremony. Then Hayley turns to the captive, biting into her wrist and offering it to him.]

Here. I know it's not ideal but we need to move fast.

( He just - stares, mouth agape. Take what?

"Drink her blood, Derek," Klaus says, sauntering inside.
)

You want me to drink her blood.

( Klaus just steps over the dead witch.

"I'll save you the trouble. We're vampires. With a little something extra. And our blood will heal you. You need your strength. Unless you'd like Hayley here to fireman carry you out the door. She has no qualms, either way."

Derek looks from Klaus to Hayley before deciding, gripping her arm, but using it to pull himself up.
)

Let's go.

( He'd rather limp than drink. )

[Before Klaus can force the issue, Hayley intercedes, nodding towards the door.]

Just make sure the way out is clear. We'll be right behind you.

[And once he's gone, she'll shift to shoulder some of Derek's weight easily, and turn to him once she's got him in a position where he can comfortably lean on her.]

You good?
engender: (grand entrance)

[personal profile] engender 2021-01-02 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Let's get out of here.

( Klaus makes sure the way out is clear, and thanks to he and the Salvatores, it is. He emerges from the door to find them.

"Our rescue efforts proved foolproof."

Always good to hear.

[Stefan glances up over the building and the blood-soaked remains left behind.]

Assuming we should torch the rest?

( "Once they clear the threshold."

Damon holds up a gas can.
)

The things you find in a shed out back. Wildlife should get to the woodsy hunters, don/t you think?

["I'll go make sure there's nothing too obviously body about them."

Mainly, any brightly colored clothing or the like. Maybe drag them closer to some things that are already decomposing. But with that, he'll disappear into the woods, and not long after, Hayley and Derek will emerge from the warehouse.

She doesn't slow, using their momentum to keep Derek moving before they lose it.]


Heading to the car, and then back to Damon's. One of you text Caroline so she can let his friends know.

We're not --

( But, yeah, he lets that lie there. Sure. Friends. Allies, more like, but who is he to make his corrections. )

Stiles should know. He can call Cora. She's ( He winces. ) My sister. Who's Damon?

( "Damon. Salvatore."

Derek just gives him the once-over. )

You are not in a position to be picky about your rescue right now. You're going where the back up is.

[She may not be a full wolf anymore, but she knows that at least makes sense. You recover with the pack, not away from it.

That being said, she sends Damon a look that says not now at the mention of Stiles. She'll cover that once they're safely in the car and driving away from here.

But with that, she'll keep things moving, heading back up the hill to where they parked the cars, hoping that Damon or Klaus will do as she asked.]

( Klaus just gives Damon, mhm, you did almost do that, eyes before pulling his own phone out.

Damon takes the time to cover the perimeter in gasoline.
)

Derek Hale has been rescued.

[A minute later, once everything has been sorted at the hospital, he'll get a text back in return: Thank you.

Hayley will leave the warehouse behind, getting she and Derek into the car, and driving a good ways away before she speaks again. He deserves to know, and she'll at least give him the option - hospital or Damon's - because either should be safe enough for the time being.]


There's something you should know, about Stiles.
engender: (hangs guiltily)

[personal profile] engender 2021-01-02 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
( Derek sort of slumps in the front seat, buckled in, but still very much lucid. )

What about Stiles?
werewolfqueen: (1)

[personal profile] werewolfqueen 2021-01-02 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
He was pretty badly beaten. We tried to get him to a hospital but the hunters t-boned them on the way there.

[She glances briefly at him, because she shouldn't be the one giving him this news. But she has to if she wants to give him a choice.]

He had vampire blood in his system, but he died in the attack. If you want, I can take you to the hospital where they're waiting for him to wake up, but I don't know if there'll be much you can do until he does. Lydia and Jackson are with him.
engender: (hears townly)

[personal profile] engender 2021-01-02 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
And if you don't take me to the hospital?

( Damon's, he remembers. He owes a message to Scott. He also needs a new phone. )
werewolfqueen: (2)

[personal profile] werewolfqueen 2021-01-02 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll take you back to Damon's. You can rest up and we'll watch your back and keep you posted if there's any news.

[Those are the only options she has at the moment, because in a few hours she's going to have to clean up and go see her daughter graduate because fuck the hunters, she's not missing that.]
engender: (leaned bleakly)

[personal profile] engender 2021-01-02 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Take me to Damon's.

( He sighs. )

And, I'll need a phone. Mine was confiscated.

[Hayley nods, before shifting to reach into her back pocket, using the facial recognition to unlock it, and then passing it over to him.

Knock yourself out Derek. She'll keep driving.]
engender: (counsels confidently)

[personal profile] engender 2021-01-02 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

( Cora, are you awake? Do you answer random numbers? Ring ring Cora Hale. )

[personal profile] impetere 2021-01-02 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's just gotten back to the French Quarter, heading to meet up with Allison and Scott. She doesn't bother to check the caller ID, she simply answers.

She's used to Derek losing his phone.]


Yeah?
engender: (ⓢ ➥ calls recieved)

[personal profile] engender 2021-01-02 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It's me. I'm fine.

( Not. His wolf is -- bound in some way, but that's not a phone conversation. For now, this is about not worrying his sister. )

I'm on another phone.
impetere: * derek (my fingers claw your skin)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-01-02 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's something in her that relaxes at that, because good. Good, he's okay. One less thing to worry about.]

Where are you going? I'm flying in with Scott and Allison in the morning and I'll come to you.
engender: (concludes smartly)

[personal profile] engender 2021-01-02 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Damon's house.

( He doesn't know him. )

Salvatore. He, Hayley, and two other - vampires(?) ( He guesses. ) Got me out.

( And behind them, the warehouse goes up in flames in the distance. )
impetere: * scott (i'm making to attack)

[personal profile] impetere 2021-01-02 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay. I'll figure it out. Allison is having someone pick us up, so maybe he can get me there.

[While Allison and Scott go to the hospital, Cora can go see her brother.]

Are you sure you're safe?

[Not okay. Nothing about this is okay. But will he be safe enough until she gets there to protect him.]
