WiP Amnesty - Teen Wolf/NCIS Crossover Outline
svmadelyn's WiP Amnesty drive, have ~3k of an outline for a Teen Wolf/NCIS crossover that will never be written. Never. Or at least not be written by me - if anyone else wants to take this and run with it, you have my blessing.Fandom: Teen Wolf
Pairing: Sheriff Stilinski/Melissa McCall
Status: UNFINISHED, will never be finished, this is basically just an outline/fic idea but it's been sitting in the bottom of my drafts folder for a year or so now and I'd like to get rid of it.
Sheriff Stilinski’s sister was Gibb's first ex-wife. Anyway, Gibbs is really busy and the two of them live on opposite coasts, but he tries to come out at least once a year, usually around Stiles’ birthday, and visit. And of course if he needs an extra perspective on a case he calls the Sheriff, and if the Sheriff is really stumped on something he calls Gibbs, and sometimes they offer valuable insight and sometimes just talking through the case lets something jump out at them, but anyway they have a very comfortable, familiar relationship.
I can’t quite decide if the Sheriff has been telling Gibbs about all the craziness that’s been going down in Beacon Hills recently or not - is that the sort of thing he might bring up with his brother-in-law? Or is the first thing that Gibbs hears about it when John calls him up in the middle of the night and says, “Jethro, I was just rehired as Sheriff but someone or something has killed all my deputies,” after that whole mess, and Gibbs is like, “I’m coming over there, I’ll help you out until you can get back on your feet, get some new deputies hired,” and then he goes into the bullpen and is like, “Pack a bag, DiNozzo, we’re going to California,” and Tony says “Yes, Boss,” and then “Why, Boss?” as he’s packing, because I decided that Gibbs would bring Tony along to help with the investigation and the hiring of new deputies and the doing of paperwork, because more people is better than less as far as that goes. So then Gibbs would get all gruff about it and explain that they’re going out to lend a hand because his brother-in-law’s sheriff’s department was all killed by person or persons unknown, and they’re going to stick around and work on the investigation and whatever else needs doing until he’s gotten his feet back under him. And Tony backs off for a while because he knows how Gibbs gets about family.
So then they get out to Beacon Hills and Stiles is really excited to see his Uncle Jethro even though it’s not near the usual time he comes out until he hears that Uncle Jethro and Tony have come to help his dad with the investigation into what killed all the deputies, and then he just clams right up, which Tony finds extremely suspicious. Gibbs starts to laugh it off, but the Sheriff is like, “He has been acting extremely suspicious lately,” so Gibbs has to take the whole thing seriously even though he doesn’t want to - he really loves his nephew, OK? - and his gut feeling is that even if Stiles is involved, it’s not his fault.
So meanwhile Stiles has run off to tell Scott that his Uncle Jethro is in town and he brought another NCIS guy with him and so there’s going to be even more people that they’re going to have to try and protect from the kanima while keeping them from figuring out what’s going on (I don’t understand why they didn’t just tell Stiles’s dad at that point, Scott’s mom is great but she’s not exactly combat trained the way I suspect the Sheriff is), and Gibbs and Tony are both very smart and very snoopy so this is going to be difficult and they need a plan. Scott points out that they aren’t very good at plans, they might just have to wing it.
So Tony and Gibbs start helping with the investigation, and Tony is still super suspicious of Stiles so he’s been snooping around and while Stiles has gotten away with lying to his dad because his dad doesn’t want to push him, Tony doesn’t have to worry about that, so he can push him and get little bits and pieces - I know fandom likes to paint Stiles as smarter than everyone else, but I think that Tony as a trained investigator would be able to get more from a distracted, stressed 16 year old than Stiles would probably intend to give up. So then they have little bits and pieces - enough to know that the Hales are involved, and that this whole thing is a continuation of the previous string of murders that had been labeled “animal attacks” even though it’s a different killer, different motive, all the weirdness is connected. So they haul Derek in for questioning, and Gibbs sees Peter lurking and gets a REALLY bad gut feeling about him, even though he doesn’t know who he is. Derek is uncooperative as usual with the police, they have to let him go because of lack of evidence.
Gibbs calls up the team in DC and they have a massive conference call to go over the evidence that they have, and Gibbs has sent a number of samples back for Abby to test in her lab, because no one had been able to positively ID the “wild animal” that killed all those people and he wants her to try. And while they’re looking at all of this evidence, Tony happens to notice that one of the murders was on the night of the full moon, and he says, “Hey, Boss, maybe it’s werewolves.” And McGee and Ziva both kind of scoff at him, because seriously, werewolves? But Abby is like, “Gibbs, we’ve never really seen anything like this before- it’s like a wolf, but not,” and Gibbs gets all quiet and thoughtful and Tony is like, “. . . Boss, I was just kidding,” and either Ziva or McGee makes a crack about silver bullets and Abby totally corrects them, like, “Guys, don’t you know anything? Silver doesn’t do anything to them, it has to be wolfsbane,” and then Ziva and McGee are like, “. . . . how do you know that?” and before Abby can really get started explaining it to them, Gibbs is like, “Send me what you know about wolfsbane, then, and how we can get some,” and then hangs up on them after Abby promises to do so but before Ziva and McGee can get started with the “you’re not serious” business.
So then Gibbs sends Tony out to acquire some wolfsbane. And he couldn’t find any in any of the shops in town, and he went to the vet because someone told him that he should probably ask Dr. Deaton (I get the feeling Dr. Deaton gets these sorts of referrals a lot) and Dr. Deaton was totally enigmatic about the whole thing and Tony left feeling really confused and also like that guy knows WAAAAAYYYYY more than he’s telling about all of the things. And he keeps seeing things - he’s sure someone’s following him, but he can’t tell who or where they are (I’m thinking Isaac? Or Scott? Probably Isaac, b/c Derek asked him to keep an eye on these new people, and also look out for the Jackson while he’s out and about - they know Jackson has to be around somewhere because he’s going to be playing in the lacrosse game that night but they don’t know where he is exactly). Anyway, Tony runs into Chris Argent while he’s out trying to find wolfsbane, and for reasons ends up asking Chris whether he knows anything about this stuff, which freaks Chris out a lot because, law enforcement! But civilian -not a hunter, not trained in dealing with werewolves, obviously fairly clueless about what’s really going on but savvy enough to be asking about wolfsbane? Something is clearly going on. I don’t know whether or not he should say something to Gerard - I haven’t watched the back end of season 2 of teen wolf recently enough to tell you when that relationship actually began deteriorating enough that Chris would be keeping potentially big things from Gerard - but he definitely does not tell Allison, who’s still doing the meltdown thing at this point. Tony notices that something was up with that guy and mentions it to Gibbs. I think eventually he does find some wolfsbane - maybe that plant that was used to bury Laura in the first season?
So then there’s the lacrosse game and Stiles ends up getting kidnapped, and Gibbs and the Sheriff are both freaking out and so is Tony except less so because he only kind of knows this kid? So he’s upset but not like, devastated.
They manage to find Stiles and rescue him and then they’re stuck with arresting Gerard and Chris. I’m pretty sure that between the three of them they could do it, too, even if Gerard tried to put up a fight - with Jackson in the kanima suspended state, he’s much less likely to be able to overpower three people, especially since Chris has probably worked out he’s the bad guy by this point and won’t help him, and may in fact aid the authorities in arresting his father. This also includes the rescue of Erica and Boyd and by that token the great werewolf reveal, because I’m pretty sure the electricity they were hooked up to kept their eyes yellow? And they were at least partially wolfed out. But then we have the problem that if Gerard is under arrest, is he still going to be able to carry out his threats (killing Melissa, etc)? Because as far as everyone but Derek and Peter know, Jackson is dead, right? I just don’t know how Scott would react, because I don’t remember when Derek overheard him helping Gerard, so I don’t know whether or not Derek and Peter would have told Scott/Stiles/Isaac that the kanima is going to emerge from its suspended animation to be a thing with wings. If Scott knows that the kanima is just in suspended animation he may try to break Gerard out of jail - that would be messy, and would probably end up revealing the whole werewolf thing. But if he doesn’t know that the kanima is just in suspended animation he may be like, so we didn’t need my master plan after all! and just let the Sheriff deal with the whole thing. Because I think that at this point Chris Argent at least may start talking to Gibbs, because I think he would like Gibbs. I don’t think Gibbs would be too keen on him, but he might warm up to him at least a little after he figures out that most of the terrible things that have happened are Gerard’s fault and not Chris’s. (No idea what to do about Allison - she’s already stormed the Sheriff’s station with an army to get at the kanima, does she try and do that again to rescue her father and grandfather???)
I think Stiles and the Sheriff would go home, because Gibbs and Tony would be like, we’ve got them arrested, we can do the paperwork to formally charge them and the questioning, you guys go home and get some rest/go to the hospital and get checked out, so the Sheriff wants to go to the hospital but Stiles just really wants to go home so the Sheriff calls Melissa and she comes over and looks at him and says he looks banged up but not hospital worthy, take some Tylenol and sleep on it, that’s the best way to handle it, and then they get home and Lydia is there? Was Lydia there already or did she come over? And they’re talking - the Sheriff is getting Stiles to explain the whole thing, because there just wasn’t time before to do more than, “So, dad, werewolves are real and I know some,” and, “Stiles, you are explaining this whole thing later.” So now it’s later and instead of sleeping and doing the whole nightmare route, Stiles is sitting in the kitchen with both hands wrapped around a mug of hot chocolate, telling his dad and Lydia all about werewolves and how they explain the last year or so in Beacon Hills.
And then they get a call from the station, Tony says that they’d better come quickly, some weird hissing thing just broke down the cell door where they were keeping Gerard and now he’s gone, and so the three of them (because Lydia refuses to be left behind, that’s Jackson, after all, he’s somehow still alive) run down to the station and Stiles tries to call Scott but he’s not picking up, and the Sheriff tries to call Mrs. McCall, but she’s not picking up, so Stiles does his little phone-tracking trick that Peter made him do - there is a derisive chorus of, “His username and password are both Allison?!” from Lydia and Gibbs (and also possibly McGee, who I’m considering conferencing in for this because I’m willing to bet the NCIS satellites are better than the commercial ones, at least as far as narrowing down a specific address) - so then there’s 5 of them in two cars and Tony is loading his and Gibbs’s and the Sheriff’s guns with bullets they soaked in wolfsbane solution like Abby suggested.
They show up at the address and it’s a freaking abandoned warehouse and Tony makes a crack about it being a horror movie set and Stiles laughs because his whole life has been a horror movie for the last several months. So they split into 3 groups, and every group has a law enforcement officer with a wolfsbane loaded gun. They split up and start spreading through the warehouse, looking for Scott and Melissa and Gerard and Jackson. Tony finds Derek, and doesn’t shoot him. Gibbs and Lydia find Peter, and do shoot him. Stiles and his dad find Gerard and Scott and Melissa and Jackson, and begin shouting a lot at each other. Lydia hears the shouting and runs toward it, as do Derek, Tony, and Gibbs. Derek gets there first and attacks the kanima in his usual fliptastic style while the rest of the humans pause around the periphery of the room. The kanima’s even stronger than Derek at this point - he made his Betas stay home because he is in fact a decent being and didn’t want them getting in the middle of this and getting killed - so it throws him across the room and winds him eventually, and at that point Lydia does her thing with the key and the kanima freezes and turns into Jackson just enough that when Derek comes flying back across the floor and attacks he kills him (ala the finale). At this point, some of the humans remember that Gerard is a thing and are looking around for him, only to realize that Gibbs totally used the fight as a distraction and has handcuffed Gerard already. Jackson does his magical raised from the dead to become blue-eyed werewolf act at this point, hooray!!!
Soo. . . . . then comes the wrap up, and I am totally the worst at those, preferring when possible to leave the story at a point that comes before the usual wrap ups. But to clarify - Peter is dead, and they have to deal with that fact. The Alpha Pack is coming, but they’ll meet a pack that is actually fairly well constructed - Scott and Derek talk out their issues and agree to a truce, even if Scott refuses to actually join Derek’s pack. Derek thinks he’s nuts but is going to go with it as long as he’ll keep his phone on and actually answer if someone calls him - Stiles has been complaining about that time in the pool when Scott hung up on him a lot, OK, and all the other times Scott has never answered his phone when someone was trying to get ahold of him - and Lydia and Jackson have joined Derek’s pack (because Peter’s dead, Lydia’s OK with Derek, actually) and are going to help him with the Alpha Pack, who won’t know what hit them (Lydia is terrifyingly awesome OK). Gerard is going to jail for kidnapping, and Chris. . . . I really kind of want Chris to become one of the Sheriff’s new deputies, because he already knows about werewolves and weapons and all that jazz, but was he definitely involved in the kidnapping? We’re going to go with not for the purposes of allowing him to go free as long as he becomes a deputy as like, his parole. Chris starts training Allison to actually follow their code, and they start dealing with their grief over Victoria.
Installing Chris as a deputy also allows Gibbs and Tony to go back to DC, which is good, because the Director started calling Gibbs a couple of days ago and making noises about wanting him back in DC yesterday, where he could be doing his job instead of wandering around the Northern California wilderness and distracting his team from doing their actual jobs with his ridiculousness.
