Scott sighs as he runs a hand through his hair, Malia and Lydia both walk into Argents bunker with disappointed expressions.

Scott follows them both inside but as he is about to shut the bunker door a familiar beta grabs the door, panting for breath. "Liam!" Scott grins as he sees the boy.

"There's something you need to see" Liam tells the alpha through his pants for breath.

"You're still here" Scott states with furrowed eyebrows.

"But everyone else is gone" Liam states with a sigh. "All of them, they're all gone. Mason, Hayden, Theo and Atlas. Look, you have to come with me."

"What is it?" Scott questions .

"I can't explain it" Liam explains as he runs a hand through his messy hair. "I have to show you."

"All right" Scott nods, he turns back to face Malia and Lydia, "you guys stay here. Just in case."

"In case Stiles comes back?" Malia questions with a scoff, tone full of mockery.

"If there's any hope, you need to keep trying" Scott states as he steps out of the bunker with Liam.

Scott and Liam walk at a fast pace on their way to the hospital, not really talking. "So you found him?" Scott questions as he glances at the shorter boy.

"He was at the hospital" Liam explains, "he was hiding out. He went after Douglas and got hurt pretty bad."

"And what about your relationship?" Scott asks.

"I told him I need time" Liam admits, running his hand through his hair. "I need to figure out what I want."

"That's Atlas" Scott states with a shrug. Liam looks to him confused. "It doesn't take a genius to see you with him. You want Atlas. This whole immorality thing has scared you away."

"Atlas is going to stay seventeen forever" Liam tells the alpha. "I'll still age. We could never be normal."

"You're in love with him Liam" Scott tells the boy. "I can see that. We all can see that. You and Atlas have this bond that I have never seen before. You get each other."

"What I saw him do-"

"What did he do?"

"He pulled out a ghost riders heart. That's how I was able to escape, he was surrounded, Theo pushed me in the elevator and went to help Atlas."

"We all know what Atlas is capable of. It's scary. Atlas isn't like that. He isn't the same as Peter or Kate or anyone else we've faced. Atlas is one of the softest people ever. He just has walls. The monster which is inside him? Even he's scared of it."

"His walls are up a lot of the time."

"Because he's scared of getting hurt again. He has lost so much. You cannot blame him for trying to protect himself."

"He offered me immortality."

Scott stops walking and turns to Liam with wide eyes, "and you didn't take it?"

"It goes against everything I believe. To do it Atlas has to kill hundreds of people and then kill me."

"Liam he loves you. He wouldn't just offer that to anyone."
