Should we crash. Quietly.

( He doesn't know how they would. Get closer, find them inside that building... )

Do we have witches on our side?

[positiveinfluence]

We do. But I don't know.

[Coop shakes his head as he leans back.]

Let's just wait, for now. I don't want to screw up their play.

[pumping]

Yeah. ( He exhales, pushing out air, looking over. ) You're really worried.

[positiveinfluence]

Lucas and I are a team.

[They always have been.]

I don't like that we don't know ...

[His voice trails off as he pushes up from his position, squinting down at one of the faces making an entrance. A tall, curly haired man, holding the door open for the woman next to him.]

Wait, that's Isaac Lahey.

[pumping]

( Give him a second, he brings up his binoculars. )

Werewolf Isaac Lahey? What are wolves doing with witches and hunters?

[positiveinfluence]

Isaac's been trying to rally the supernatural around here to work together for a while. Maybe he's trying to make an appeal to the coven.

[That might not work in their favor, if they've already got hunters in the room. He can already feel this going sideways, but he forces himself to stay put.]

I don't like this.

[But he will text his brother: Isaac Lahey is here.]

[pumping]

Isaac's one of Allison Argent's. Used to be Scott McCall's, the true alpha.

( He studied this. )

Is he making the appeal to your brother, too?

[positiveinfluence]

I think he's still Scott McCall's. It's not like an either or kind of situation.

[But that's not the point.]

Probably not. I don't think he even knows Lucas is there.

[pumping]

Is - Cooper if we take out Isaac Lahey, that is an act of war.

Forget whatever witches are in there.

[positiveinfluence]

I don't see how it's not.

[Especially if all Isaac is doing there is trying to make connections. There's no way to claim self defense, not really. The witches retreat into the meeting, and Cooper gestures for Mickey to follow.]

C'mon. Let's see if we can get a better vantage point.

[pumping]

( He leaves the repelling set up. He'll get it later, agreeing with Cooper, staying by him as they attempt to find a better vantage point. )

[positiveinfluence]

[Cooper maneuvers them around the side of the building, in search of a window to peek in and get a better look. As they get closer, the general murmur of the meeting starts to get more heated.

Whoever's talking inside, they're very upset.]

[pumping]

( Cooper's more focused on finding a look in while Mickey flanks him from the back. Anything happens, he's there, but if a window is found, he'll throw himself flat against the building and peer around, careful. He does wrinkle his brow as the voices make up more of a din. )

[positiveinfluence]

[Just as he gets his eyes up over the edge of one of the windows, the fight seems to reach it's peak. One unfamiliar voice yells about how they fight monsters just as much as the hunters do.

Then there's a distinctly American voice yelling about how the witches joining the hunters is signing up to be killed last.

Then there's another voice, Weller, blowing his cover and inserting himself into a fight he doesn't belong in. He aims a gun, points directly at Isaac, and pulls the trigger.

Coop doesn't see what happens next, however. A spellwave cracks through the building, blowing the walls outward. Coop is thrown in the blast, hitting the ground hard.

His head cracks against something, and everything goes dark.]
