Dani stared at Tim from his doorway. Said boy was involuntarily going into his rut and since she was alone at their headquarters, she had no idea what to do. He looked as though he was going crazy and through the door where she stuck her head in, she could see him scratching and punching at the walls and furniture like a caged animal.
Their team didnât have any omegas since Cissie left and Dani herself was an artificial beta. She also hadnât experienced spending a rut with anyone beyond her own pack before and she was completely out of her depth.
Dani blinked as an idea entered her mind. Amidst the sounds of Tim rampaging across his room, she quickly called up her sister.
When Jazz arrived, it was with Jason in tow. The omega nonchalantly waved a hand in greeting at her and then immediately entered the room, wrestling down the rut-addled alpha in submission without any hesitation. The sounds of fighting and snarling soon erupted from inside like a volcano.
Dani cheerfully ran to Jazzâs side and chirped for a scenting. Jazz sighed and scented her gently, bending down to rub her chin and neck against her head. âMaybe next time, call Timâs pack first, okay? I wonât be any help in this situation until heâs calmer, Dani.â
Dani laughed nervously. âSorry, I didnât think. I just knew that youâd take care of it.â
Jazz gave her a soft, happy purr that vibrated through her chest.
Inside the room, Jason had managed to climb on top of Timâs back and scruff him, holding him down by the neck. He growled, his teeth bared as Tim whined and squirmed. Eventually, Tim calmed down, making soft, pleading sounds as he laid still, tilting his neck submissively.
Jason gave a soft snort and got off of him, scenting him soothingly. Timâs rut scent, strong and smelling like leather and amber, turned from its furious roiling to a more gentle spreading of pheromones. Combined with Jasonâs admittedly unattractive scent, it turned into something that smelled surprisingly pleasant.
Dani side eyed Jazz for a moment, suddenly wondering if she was as nose blind as Danny if she could somehow enjoy Jasonâs smoky, metallic scent.
âCan we come in?â Jazz asked from the doorway, eying the way Timâs rut had visibly changed from one seeking a physical connection to a pack rut.
Jason shrugged. âSure. Let me just make a nest and you two can come in, if Tim allows it.â
Tim mumbled something like, âDani,â and she obeyed, striding over to nuzzle her cheek against his sweaty hair. Tim gave a throaty purr, pleased and content before he pulled her in.
âCall everyone else too,â he mumbled before burying his face into her stomach. Dani petted his hair as Jason arranged the covers and pillows around them, clicking his tongue in disappointment at the lack of supplies. Jazz stayed on the edge, watching over them and Dani smiled with relief, knowing that Timâs rut would be smooth sailing.
Once she called in the rest of the Young Justice members, then handling Timâs rut would be a breeze!
