A Hale and The Argent- Allison Argent (3)

4.2.2

3rd Person POV:

"I want you to be honest with me. Absolutely and completely honest." Noah says as he sits at the edge of his desk, looking between Scott and Stiles. "Have you been time traveling?" He questions. Scott stares at him blankly while Stiles furrows his eyebrows in confusion. "Hang on, what?" Stiles asks. "Because if time traveling is real, you know what? I'm done. I'm out. You're going to be driving me to Eichen House." Noah says.

"We found them like that" Scott says, motioning to outside the office window. "Where? Swimming in the fountain of youth??" Noah snaps. "Noo. We found them buried in a tomb of Wolfsbane in an Aztec temple in Mexico underneath a church in the middle of a town that was destroyed by an earthquake." Stiles rambles out an explanation. Scott closes his eyes with a sigh. He wasn't supposed to tell him that.

Stiles glances at Scott, biting his lip nervously. "You told me you were camping!" Noah points out. "Yeah, we were...I-in-in Mexico" Stiles admits. Scott sighs in exasperation. Noah points at his son threateningly, trying not to snap but before he can, Scott chimes in. "They've been aged backwards. They can't remember anything." Scott informs him. "We just need to talk to them" Stiles adds.

Noah sighs, and sits back down. "Well, so far, Derek's not talking to anyone and Madi's too young to take anything seriously" Noah tells them. Scott glances back out the window where Derek was still sitting on the bench as he watched his little sister tell an animated story to Deputy Parrish. "He'll talk to me" Scott says.

Madi and Derek sit on the couch in the office while Noah stands outside, watching in from the window. Scott stood in front of the pair while Stiles sat on his dad's desk. Madi didn't know who these two were but they seemed nice in her opinion. Derek kept her close though because he didn't trust them. "Why would we go anywhere with you?" Derek asks Scott.

"There was an accident. You both lost some memory, but we can help you get it back." Scott informs them. Stiles notices some mail on Noah's desk and starts to look through it. "How much memory?" Derek asks. "A lot. But you can trust us." Scott says. He kneels down in front of them and flashes his Alpha eyes. Madi gasps. "Your eyes glow just like my Mommy's" She beams. Scott smiles softly at her and nods.

"You're an Alpha." Derek states and Scott nods again. "Okay, but who are you? And who is he? Who are you?" Derek says, pointing at Stiles as Stiles continues to look at the mail. Stiles glances over, realizing all three of them are looking at him. "Oh, we're the guys keeping you out of jail." Stiles answers. Scott turns back to look at Derek. "Let us help you" Scott pleads. "No." Derek shakes his head. "Okay, dude, you almost tore apart two cops back there. You need to listen to us. And that starts with no fangs, no claws, no wolf man. You got that?" Stiles lists off.

Madi giggles at Stiles. "I'm fine as long as it's not on a full moon." Derek sighs. "You still have trouble with the full moon?" Scott asks. " I said I'm fine" Derek snaps. "All right, so are you two coming with us or not?" Stiles asks, standing up. "You want me to trust you?" Derek asks, looking at Stiles. He looks over at Scott. "Where's my family?" Derek asks. Scott sighs and looks over at Stiles. "There was a fire. And..." Scott shakes his head, trying to think as Derek looks at him expectantly.

"They're not here anymore. They're fine. Just had to move out of Beacon Hills. And we're going to take you to them, as soon as we figure out how to get both your memories back." Scott lies. Derek believes him though, tears welling up in his eyes as he nods. "Okay" Derek sighs. Madi follows Derek as one of the deputies hands him a clipboard to sign so they can leave.

Scott and Stiles lean against the front desk, waiting for them. "I shouldn't have done that. I lied my ass off." Scott complains. "Hey, your ass is fine. You saved them a ton of unnecessary pain. We'll figure this out in a day or two, Derek goes back to being old Derek, Madi goes back to being old Madi, everyone's happy. Except for Derek, who's never happy." Stiles adds.
