The pack carries Derek onto the table of the animal clinic and Deaton looks at him in shock
"Wow..." He says
"'Wow?' 'Wow,'as in, 'I've seen this before and I know exactly what to do' -kind of 'wow?' 'Cause that's the kind we were hoping for..." Stiles says.

"I think you might be overestimating my abilities." Deaton says
"He's cold-- really cold." Lydia says
"So this is permanent?" Rayne asks.

"I'm not sure a medical diagnosis is even adequate. This is well beyond my experience." Deaton says
"So, what do we do with him?" Stiles asks
"Until he wakes up? Probably not much. It might be best to leave him with me. He'll be safe here." Deaton advises.

"You mean, from Kate?" Stiles asks
"AKA Psychotic bitch." Rayne says
"If she's alive and she is what you say she is, she won't be able to walk past that gate." Deaton says.

"Why would she want to do this to him?" Lydia asks
"Knowing Kate, it's probably for a reason that won't be any good for anyone but her." He says
"And bad for everyone else." Stiles says.

"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?" Deaton suggests
"It is a school night, and you all need to start taking care of your own lives again." He says
"Someone should stay with you..." Scott says.

"I'll stay." Lydia says and they all look at her
"My grades are fine, despite missing a few classes." She says
"I'll stay too. I don't want to go to school anyway." Rayne says.

"I'm so not okay with this." Stiles objects
"Guys, go." Lydia says
"No-" Stiles says and Rayne rolls her eyes.

"Text us if anything happens." Scott says and the girls nod
"Nope! Still not okay with it. Not going anywhere." Stiles says but Scott drags him out
"All right, just 'cause you're stronger..." Stiles says and Rayne lets out a tired chuckle.

"What a dumbass."

Rayne felt a small tap on her shoulder and opened her eyes to see Deaton standing over Derek
"How's he doing?" Lydia asks
"His heart rate is alarmingly high." Deaton says and Lydia walks up to him and grabs his hand.

"He's a lot warmer now." She says
"Lydia, I'm going to try something. I want you to keep holding his hand, if that's okay." Deaton says and Lydia nods. He then takes a scalpel and runs it down Derek's forearm
"That looks like it healed really fast." Rayne says as the wound healed as quickly as it cut.

"Unusually fast." Deaton says
"What does it mean?" Lydia asks
"I'm not sure..." He says.

"Let's try something else. Grab me a five milliliter syringe-- top drawer." He says and they walk over to the drawer when they hear a noise and turn to see Derek standing up
"Derek...?" Lydia asks
"Derek, are you all right?" Deaton asks and Derek's eyes started to glow blue.
