"Hey! Hey, Isaac it's okay, breath, your safe." Scott pulled the thrashing teen towards his chest. Isaacs claws extended and digging into his biceps as he lets out a low howl like growl. He'd woken in a fury, eyes glowing and blinking like he was somewhere else. The wolf quickly registers his pack members voice, blinking away his yellow-orange glow.

Scott leaned back and let his arms slide from around Isaac. Gentle and careful from scaring him anymore then he already is. "S-sorry. I," Isaac hesitated before continuing. "I think I found them. Erica and Boyd?"

Scott's eyes widen as he sits up to a kneeling position after sitting on his heels before the armchair. A small grin playing at his lips as he stares up at Isaac. "Don't be sorry for one! Two, that's great!"

"Yeah, if I could remember." Isaacs hands find his temples, he rubs them gently. "It was only flashes, I saw something? And then the hospital. I-I don't know..." the terrified teens voice slips away calmly. Scott's hand on his knee for reassurance.

"Hey, we'll figure it out, I know it. Just hang tight." Isaac smiles down at his fellow beta, then looking up expectant of a sarcastic and sleepy stiles. But no one was there for that place.

"Stiles?" He asks. Scott blinks then looks around the room.

"Yeah, um, I still hear his heart beat. I think he's in the restroom or getting water or something." Scott meets Isaacs eyes again with a smile. "You okay?" He nudges the boys knee.

With a scoff and chuckle Isaac shoved his knee back to give an answer. "I was gonna die, I'm pretty sure none of that's okay." He sighs and leans back in the chair, flopping his head against the cushion.

Scott though, watches, ignoring his black bubbly looking veins as he watches for Isaacs attention. He suppresses a wince at the burning feeling of emotional pain and attachment. Pulling his hand away slowly as to not rise suspicion. Scott falls back onto his butt and leans back on his hands, watching as Isaac closes his eyes lightly and sighs heavily into the air.

"How do you do it?" He asks into the silence. Scott hums in response. "You go against Derek, and hold it all together, and shit. How?"

Scott chuckles lightly. "I'm not holding anything together. Honestly, it's you all. Stiles, you, Derek, Lydia, Allison, even Jackson. You all make it a hell of a lot easier to deal with these enemies." Scott's head lols back. "I wish there weren't so many though. Would make things easier."

Isaac chuckles. "Your an easy person to follow, to trust. You make us want to do better."

Another hum. "I think, it's more like mutual understanding. I can't trust you if you don't trust me, not fully. And I put my faith in you all."

Isaac nods, his mind slipping back to sleep as he listens. "I think it's just you, you and your hero complex and mind set."

"Hero complex, hold on a minute." The playful tone drags Isaac to chuckle lightly, drifting further to sleep as Scott looks to the door. Stiles's, while everyone's heart was beating in sleep. Someone's wasn't. They were awake, and it's not Stiles's heart, so where is the human best friend.
