The Plan

Summary:

“Are you completely bats?” Allison spluttered.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Lydia tapped her nails against the table thoughtfully. Stiles watched her expectantly, sipping at his horrendously sweet coffee.

“Are you completely bats?” Allison spluttered, dabbing furiously at the coffee she’d spat on her blouse with a handkerchief. “We can’t just- It’s not-” She sighed, short and frustrated and gave up on the blouse. “It’s a good way to get lead poisoning.”

Stiles scowled down at his cup. Coffee splashed over the rim as he spun it in his hands, anxious, frustrated. “Believe me, I’d rather not ruffle any Hale feathers, but we’re out of options. I need the grimoire.”

Allison opened her mouth to argue when Lydia squeezed her hand, cutting off any objections.

“I have an idea.”

Notes:

bats = insane, crazy
to get lead poisoning = to get shot

I plan to make this a mini-series of drabbles based around the same story. I might actually write the story, I don't know yet; I've got a lot of projects going on.

Also, I looked up slang for this and discovered a common phrase for legs was "get away sticks." I laughed for days.
