"He came back to town recently. Rumors about our town have been spreading since last year."

"Stiles doesn't trust him, because he's not one of the people in this room."

"What benefit does he bring?"

"Actually, it could be just Scott, Lydia, and...sorry, what was your name again?"

"Ellie."

"Ellie, Scott, and Lydia can handle it alone." 

"We should take you, then. It's usually good to have a human," he explains for their guest.

"I'm not technically a human either."

"Right. What did the tests look like? How did you react to mountain ash?"

"I can't cross it, but I can set up objects to disrupt it indirectly."

"We can take Mason in case we need someone who can cross it, then."

"Cool. I'll get my coat."

Ellie has no coat to fetch, of course.

Well, as soon as they're done waiting on him, they head off. 

"I'm assuming we're driving? In an actual car."

"Fine by me. Ellie can fly if that's more convenient? But we have to match our slowest pace."

"Better if we stick together, I think."

They head off in Lydia's car, and soon come to the gates of a fairly large property on the other side of town.

"I don't think I realized it was so big." 

"They need room for all the crazy people. And the monsters. And the crazy monsters," she adds, pointing at herself.

"Ready?"

"I am. Do we knock?"

He knocks.

The man who answers observes them quietly for a minute before stepping aside.

They step inside.

The receptionist looks up from his book.

"Take off anything metallic, sharp, or easy for the patients to steal." 

She has no such objects on her person.
