"We could try breaking their connection to the dream dimension? Any cases like that?"

"We are not aware of any means to do so. As far we can tell it's permanent."

"How many different things do you guys have- skymages, dreamshapers, witch queens, is that everything?"

"Oh, not even close to everything, but they are the three most powerful things by far. I do have a compilation of other various magical phenomena."

Fenris shows him the relevant document, it's... at least a couple hundred items long. "Most of it is very minor or very specific, though. And largely not relevant except by way of example."

"Okay. So if it turns out being a werewolf and being a witch queen don't really mesh, could that help solve the problem?"

"Maybe, but not likely? There is a component to it that isn't hereditary and can be taught, unlike skymagery."

"If you find enough people you can trust and make them into dreamshapers...kind of like a dreamshaper revolution?"

"True, but it's a big if and the other dreamshapes back home would actively work against this plan. The last person to own the dreamshard kidnapped them and used them for personal gain."

Nod.

"It might not come up for a while, anyway. We should focus on the alpha."

"Agreed," Fenris says somewhat approvingly. "Maybe the girls already came back from the lion's den?"

"Maybe they did. Let's find out."

Here are the girls. They returned safe and sound and tell then how the Operation: Lion's Den went through.

Scott cuddles with Kato as this goes on.

"We can't trust anyone who hunts people. Maybe they decided you're like werewolves: acceptable targets."

"It sounds like they think Kate was out of line, they might see that as betrayal no matter how they feel about us."

"I don't think they know we are supernaturals." Vera says. "I didn't read any sign they are suspicious that we are."

"They might have found my hair suspicious," Vii suggests waving at her long white hair.

"Maybe, and we were pretty mysterious," Vera admits, "but I don't think they decided we are magical or even suspiciously motivated. At any rate I don't trust their judgement either. In the same conversation they talked how a mother would never reject their child but also how the current system hinges on alphas consistent ability to do so. I really doubt they have the self-awareness to realize that the same failure mode applies to the situation with Kate."

"Joy." Fenris says, he might be just a tiny bit acerbic.

"And then they invited us to stay over for dinner." Vii comments.

"How friendly."

"Why do alphas have to reject their kids? Did they explain a lot about how alphas work? How they handle them?" 

"Not a whole deal besides that the alphas are supposed to keep their betas in check. If they had other options besides killing, I wasn't informed."

"No, how do they kill them? They're humans with guns, how are they fighting alphas?"

"Stiles, drop it. We need to figure out how to get Kate arrested without relying on the Argents."

"I mean, maybe they use heavier artillery. Killing an werewolf doesn't sound that hard. Nor containing them. But really, lets not resort to murder it will give us extra time on the glorious day Fenris figures out resurrection."

"Do you have a containment plan you want to share with the class?"

"I meant once you're faced with the problem through years. And honestly there are probably ways to contain things like rampaging elephants."

"Hunters might not have the resources to acquire that, but that is hard to buy given the sheer amount of weaponry we found in the Argent's home. At any rate, we could create elephant-grade tranquilizer darts. Or nets, we didn't exactly thought out all our options."
