First Encounters [Multi-Fandom]

In this particular ficlet, soulmates have picture soulmarks and not words. Also, I call Skye "Skye" because I wrote this before she chose her name to be "Daisy".

Stiles lands on his butt with an oomph!, his hands zip-tied in front of him doing nothing to help him to keep from falling over at the force of which he was shoved. "Watch it!" He snaps. "I bruise easily."

The ridiculously muscled men in tactical clothing and kevlar grunt at Stiles' words, one of the assholes kicking Stiles' leg purposely as he steps over him. Stiles protests again, sighing out in annoyance moments later when he's left alone. Well, as alone as he can be with another captive a few feet away from him- this one female and apparently unconscious seeing as her hands are tied around a pole behind her back, and her head hangs limply with her chin tucked towards her chest.

This would be the seventh time Stiles has been kidnapped since he's been introduced to the werewolves, he having lived his life as simple as possible and as low key as possible what with the secret he's had to keep since he learned how to talk. Because you see, Stiles Stilinski is not human. Not fully, at least, and the only people who know of his ability are his father, Dr. Deaton and now the McCall pack.

Growing up, Stiles' parents always told him he was special, but he never thought anything about it because that's what parents did- they told their children they were special. In Stiles' case, however, he really was special. While Mr. Stilinski was human, Mrs. Stilinski was not. Several added chromosomes in Claudia's family's bloodline led to numerous remarkable beings in her family, and when she married and had her only child the gene passed down to Stiles.

He was able to create and manipulate all forms of ice, of all things, and caused several flurries in his childhood home. Toddler!Stiles spent many years being home schooled until he got his ability under control and then- only then- was he able to attend public school where he met Scott McCall.

The McCalls, Melissa and Scott, practically became family to the Stilinski's when Claudia got sick. Melissa helped Mr. Stilinski with Stiles- taking him to school in the early mornings and picking him up after- and Mr. Stilinski became dependent on that help when Claudia's condition worsened. It was then, on Claudia's deathbed, that she came clean to Melissa- telling mother McCall just how special Stiles truly was. Melissa thought her to be delirious, but when Claudia brought a dead flower back to life in the palm of her hand.. mother McCall became a believer.

Surprisingly, Melissa took the news well and didn't treat Stiles any differently, but she made sure to keep an eye on him around Scott because that secret couldn't get out. Not yet, at least. And as Stiles matured rather quickly after his mother's passing, so did his powers. Enough so that in their first year of high school, Mr. Stilinski let Stiles finally come clean to Scott.

Scott, too, took the news well. Hell, he was excited for his best friend and constantly had Stiles fill the bathtub with snow so they could pack snowballs and rush them outside to the backyard for impromptu snowball fights. But not long after Scott was thrust into the world of the other worldly, Scott was bitten by a werewolf.

There were many ups and downs with Scott trying to figure out control, but not once did Stiles put his ability to the test amidst the drama. Scott knew how Stiles felt about keeping that part of him a secret until he knew for sure he could trust whoever he was telling, so Scott made sure Stiles didn't have to tell anyone before he was ready. Scott and Stiles kept to themselves mostly, Scott then making his own pack even though he was a beta werewolf what with recruiting Allison and Lydia into it. Derek, being an alpha, had his own pack that consisted of his little sister Cora, Isaac, Erica, and Boyd. And though Derek wanted Scott to join the Hale pack, Scott refused but didn't deny the alpha help when it was needed.
