***

Stiles has a feeling that this time, being at the turtle head wouldn't help. He's beginning to suspect he spends way too much time up there anyway, wallowing in the peaceful vibes. Was it possible to become addicted to the inner peace a giant turtle can bring?

Better than Klonopin. Which was what Stiles was rocking today. Three full tabs. His head felt a little floaty, but he kinda needed it, thanks. It kept his heart from turning his chest cavity into a drum circle.

He's sitting on the roof of his suite, having climbed up there free-style. (How do you think he got on Scott's roof all the time? He was a house-climbing expert by now.) He's reeling from the triple whammy of the last few days. Lydia. His dad. And Derek telling him about Scott's Alpha status.

But the thing that's haunting him is his dad. Kidnapped by the Darach. Nearly sacrificed in her (her? the Darach is a her?) insane lust for power and revenge. His dad. Who he worked so hard to keep safe, to keep out of the supernatural bullshit that plagued Beacon Hills. And he's honestly furious with Scott and Isaac for not telling him sooner. He can't stay angry, of course. Not with Scott, and not really with Isaac anymore, either. But tonight, he's turned off his computer, called out sick from work, and is hiding. Sure, he can't hide from werewolf senses...but he can certainly try to grab some alone time.

stiles you may not call Derek 'Robin'

At that, Bruce crosses over to a small workbench in the corner of the warehouse, clears it of debris and slaps a map down on top of it. He points out the location on it. "Here. I don't need to know what the meeting entails, I have sources within Delan's gang that will relay it to me later, and security will be too high for you to observe safely. Malone will leave by this route." He traces a line through the Sector. "It's the only way that won't be blocked by Delan's gang."

Now for the tricky part.

"You are to follow him, observe his movements. But if he spots you, the game's over. Malone isn't dangerous, he's a coward. But he has powerful friends. You are to follow him at a distance, and not interfere with anything that happens. Do you understand me?"

hahah no he doesn't fit the trope

He studies that map, taking a long mental picture of it. He's familiar enough with the Fire sector, due to spending some living time there in Isaac's suite, visiting Allison and Lydia.

"Got it. Follow, don't be seen, get his hideout location, report back to you."

And he looks up at Batman, his big doe eyes sparkling with excitement, and the desire to figure it out. God, if Stiles' dad were here, he'd have a heart attack.

Bruce's look remains stern, but the excitement is... refreshing, almost. Bruce has always enjoyed being a teacher. In another time, place, life, perhaps it was a career path he would have chosen for himself. But now, he has only this.

After a moment, he holds out a small device. It's nothing fancy, a small cylinder with the circumference of a ballpoint pen, with a clear plastic case over one end, and a button visible beneath that. The entire thing is less than an inch and a half long. "This is a homing device. When you find where Matches is staying, hide it somewhere on the building and press the button. I'll handle the rest. Understood?"

[skybluejeep]

"Totally understood."

Holy crap this is amazing. Even if it is just a test, it's a perfect test. He'll be great at this. Except he's got the tracking and hiding skills of a concussed slug, i.e. none to speak of. But that's what Derek's for! He'll come along, if only to make sure Stiles doesn't get himself killed.

...Scott's gonna kill him. But it'll be so worth it.

And on that note, Bruce effectively pulls a Bat Vanishing Act and 'disappears' from the Warehouse.

Because he does that to people.
