Stiles opened his eyes and found Scott sitting in place where his father was earlier.

"Hey", Scott said. He must have sensed the change in Stiles's heartbeat.

"Hey" Stiles replies with a smile "Where's dad?"

"I sent him home for a few hours to rest."

"OK. Good. So tell me everything. What did I miss?"

"Stiles... I don't think we should do this now. You should get better first."

"Scott come-on." Stiles whined. "Just tell me what's happening. Even dad didn't say anything to me but he seemed worried. The doctor said I'll be fine so there's something else happening here. I'll find out anyway. Do you want me to exert myself finding something that you can easily tell me? I'm already in the hospital and all this secrecy is killing me man." Stiles said giving Scott his version of puppy dog eyes and manipulating him in spilling what's been happening that has them all worried.

Scott sighed. He knew that Stiles was manipulating him but he also knew that Stiles would be worked up until he knew what happening around him and that wasn't going to help in his recovery.

"So... what's the last thing you remember?"

"Uhhh , I remember throwing the talons at Malia. She used them and overpowered Corinne and then Braeden knocked her out. I think I told them that I was shot; I don't know things are fuzzy after that. Maybe I heard dad there but I'm not sure. What happened with you guys? How did everything go? Is everyone alright? How's Braeden? She too was shot right?" Stiles asked getting more worked up the more he thought about what all his friends had to go through.

"Stiles!" then more loudly, "Stiles!" that got Stiles attention. "You need to relax buddy. Your heart rate is picking up." Scott put the oxygen mask back ob Stiles' face and instructed him to breathe. "Just breathe buddy. Everyone's fine. Take deep breaths. That's it. Good."

"I am Ok." Stiles said reassuringly after a while when he could breathe easily without causing pain to his lungs and ribs.

"Ok. So Braeden's Ok. It was just a flesh wound and she was discharged last night. Everyone in our pack is alright too Liam, Kira Malia, even Lydia is going OK. It's you that everyone's worried about."

"I am fi.." Stiles began but Scott interrupted.

"No you are not but you will be."

"Ok. If everything's fine that why do you and dad seem worried?"

"Uhh... It's Corinne. She escaped from the station and we haven't been able to track her down. We think that she might go after you or Malia."

"Oh!"

"Yeah!" Scott says. "We will find her. You don't worry about her, just concentrate on getting better."

"Yeah Ok. There's nothing I can do from here anyway. How did things with Sebastian and Theo go?

"Dude you won't believe what happened." Scott said with a fond yet sad voice.

"What happened Scott?"

"Sebastian ... he overpowered me. He would have definitely won. He was strangling me and then Liam came to help me and tried to attack him with the sword but he pushed him hard. Sebastian then dug his nails into my neck and he got inside my head. He saw all these memories of me and Allison. He lost his focus then. He said Marie-Jeanne out loud and then he was stumbling back shocked. I think Ally looked like Marie. Dude she saved us. She saved ME. Allison saved ME. Without her memories I don't think we could have won. I would have been dead if not for her." Scott said in sad voice though with all the love he could muster in his voice.

Stiles was speechless. Allison would forever be a part of them... a part of Scott and she even in her death helped his best friend survive. He was grateful for that. "dude that's awesome. It's just like Allison to help us when we need her the most. She loved you and her love and her memories helped you in this fight against Sebastian." Stiles said honestly.

"Yeah!" Scott agreed his tone a bit sad after reminiscing her.

"So, what happened next?" Stiles asked just to get that look out of Scott's face. It worked.

"Then, Kira came along with Lydia and she screamed Mason's name. It worked. It separated him from the beast. Then everything happened so fast. The beast was escaping, then Parish came out of nowhere and I threw the sword towards him and just like that the beast was taken care of. Then Theo came..."

Stiles groaned at the mention of his name. He hated that guy. Theo had disrupted everything around them... their lives, their relationships, their pack and most important of all his friendship with Scott.

Scott continued, "Theo came and he tried to use the electric currents on us but Kira took care of it. She used her sword to open the earth up and Theo's sister came from below and dragged him with her, kicking and screaming. It was awesome and then Lydia got a feeling that something was wrong with you and mom called me and asked us to come to the hospital." Scott finished then he added hesitatingly, "I should have been able to feel when something was wrong with you. You're a part of pack Stiles and I should have known when something was this wrong with a member of my pack, with my best friend... not Lydia... me, the Alpha of the pack. I'm so sorry dude." Scott said apologetically.

"Hey, Scotty, it's Ok. It's alright." Stiles said seeing the distress in his best friend. He tried to sit up and to comfort his friend but stopped when the movement caused pain to flare up in his already injured ribs.

"Don't try to move, you idiot. You have broken ribs." Scott said settling Stiles down on the bed and taking some of his pain away.

"M'not an idiot, you're the idiot." Stiles slurred as the sudden lack of pain made him sleepy. Then more focussed he added, "besides the pack was nearly disbanded recently. You'll have to form the bond with your pack mates again."

"I guess." Scott conceded finally. "Anyway, I think you should rest now. Kira will come by later to see you and say good-bye. She's going with the shifters to learn control."

"You OK with her going away?" Stiles asked.

"She's doing this for herself. It's her decision. I'll have to respect that. Besides it's not like she won't come back. So I guess I am OK."

"Ok buddy. I'm going to sleep now."

"You do that." Scott said fondly knowing that Stiles needed it. "we'll be here when you wake up."

"K" Stiles said already halfway asleep.
