Other than one or two identity crises, I seem to have my head on straight. ( There is no easy way to segue conventionally, so he just does it. ) I was, uh, talking to Isaac, and he said that the both of you are familiar with an organization that goes by the name of Black Badge?
[Alexander points over to Serena. "You work with Dolls the most."]
Right, so Black Badge, while a lot better than it used to be, is a government organization that's dedicated to monitoring the supernatural. In the past they have been responsible for disappearing a lot of supernatural creatures. They also have run some pretty horrific experiments on their agents infusing them with different supernatural abilities or DNA.
But they came under new management about fifteen years ago? Give or take? And they've been a bit more ... progressive, let's call it. Still a little shady sometimes but generally working toward the public good. Or at least the agents I've dealt with have been.
[At the mention of Waverly's name, Serena completely relaxes.]
Oh, love Waves! We got stuck together during the wild magic thing in New York.
[So yes, someone who knows her personally.]
She is essentially a cupcake in human form and probably the nicest person I've ever met. She's also been driving a lot of the more ethical changes that they've been making.
I -- was covering while someone in an elevator with me was, like, electrified. And then we were stuck in the elevator. My friend shot these missiles out of her hands.
I don't have a ton of experience with it, but it's really a roulette wheel what you wind up with. Every time Waverly's sister tried to talk a stream of bubbles came out.
That's very unfortunate for Isaac. Though it could have been worse.
["Some people get died permanently blue. Or lost all their hair," Serena shakes her head. "Honestly so long as no one got hurt it sounds like everyone got off easy."]
( But, yeah. Between how he treated everyone toward the end of sophomore year. Moving in with Scott. Seeing Allison behind his back and generally being a scarf snob. )
Deaton for a while. Then Marin. I think, they, like, share? Marin was definitely out of town more than she was in, though, and she had questionable taste in who she was an emissary for.

( Those are pretty even odds, so he drops her name to get the best answer. )

( What a thing to have in common. )
OK, so, if say, a former partner is counting on her help, she'll be there - all... icing'd up.
no subject
[Audrey is in good hands! Not that Serena knows that's who Stiles is talking about.]
You were in New York then too? That was crazy. I was literally setting everything on fire. And that's usually his thing.
[She taps Alexander on the chest.]
no subject

( Huh. To Alexander: )
Have you run into wild magic before?
no subject
[He smirks slightly.]
Claims he got turned into a potted plant and she had to carry him around with her until he turned back.
no subject
( He smiles, unable to keep himself from laughing at the memory of that group chat. )

( A blink. )
Like a Smurf? Like, if he were a werewolf, he'd likely be a blue werewolf?
no subject
[So he definitely would have been blue for as long as it took for people to do their research.]
no subject
( Cruel, cruel man, Stiles. )
no subject
[So he wouldn't hold his breath.]
I take it you and Isaac have more of an ... adversarial relationship?
no subject
( But, yeah. Between how he treated everyone toward the end of sophomore year. Moving in with Scott. Seeing Allison behind his back and generally being a scarf snob. )
Some personalities clash.
no subject
[Sometimes squabbling is how you show your love.]
no subject
( And that does rise above everything. )
Do witches have something like that? Like a... craft or coven?
no subject
["We have a lot of witches in the Underground, so I guess technically we're a coven? But we're more diverse than most covens," Serena adds.]
True. Most of them will align with like vampire coteries or werewolf packs but they won't be actually part of the coven.
no subject
( Interesting. )
Before becoming a vampire, I only really know druids.
no subject
["You guys have Deaton, right?" Serena blinks before she thinks. "Or was Beacon Hills Marin's territory?"]
no subject
( For a little Deaton and Marin lore! )
no subject
[He doesn't know anything about Deaton or Marin so he's not one to judge. Some people like the danger.]
I've never really been one to impart sage wisdom so the emissary road never really was for me.
no subject
( Asshole alpha pack. )
What's your specialty?
