"Wow." the statement falls out of Deatons mouth, worrying the teens around the metal table even more. They had dropped off Kira and Malia at their homes upon reaching Beacon Hills and immediately took off to the animal clinic to find out if Deaton might know something about what happened to Derek.
"Wow? Wow as in, 'I've seen this before and I know exactly what to do' kind of wow?" Stiles rubs his chin. "Cause that's the kind of wow we're hoping for."
"I think you may be overestimating my abilities."
Lydia puts her hand out, grabbing Dereks. "He's cold. Really cold."
"I don't understand how this is possible." Venus looks at the druid, hoping he could offer some sort of explanation but the man only shrugs at her. "I can't feel any unnatural energy. It's like she threw him into the fountain of youth."
Isaac laughs at her statement from the other side of the room, causing Stiles to turn to him with a glare. "Really?" he turns back to Venus. "Wait, is the fountain of youth actually real?"
"Do you think this is permanent?" Scott asks, ignoring the bickering between them.
"I'm not sure a medical diagnosis is even adequate." the man replies honestly, checking over Dereks responsiveness with a flashlight. "This is well beyond my experience."
"So what do we do with him?"
"Until he wakes up? Probably not much. It might be best to leave him with me, he'll be safe here."
"Even from Kate?" Isaac crosses his arms over his chest, walking closer to them.
"If she is alive and she's what you say she is then she won't be able to walk past that gate."
Lydia sighs, looking over the boys body before lifting her gaze to the druid. "Why would she want to do this to him?"
"Knowing Kate, it's probably for a reason that won't be any good for anyone but her."
"And bad for everyone else." Stiles rolls his neck, trying to relieve the stiffness he felt from driving all night.
"You guys should probably go home. He doesn't look to be in any danger, so maybe the rest of you should get some sleep?"
"I'll drink to that." Isaac cheers, already turning to make his way out.
"You all need to start taking care of your own lives again." the man reminds, raising his eyebrows at the teens.
"Someone should stay with you."
"I'll stay." Lydia announces, looking at Scott. "My grades are fine, despite missing a few classes."
"Text us is anything happens."
Venus hugs the girl goodnight before following Isaac out, Scott and Stiles following shortly after.
