The fight of his mind
AN: from this point I shall refer Cate-Lynn as Cate.
And I'm also add some other TV Show Characters in this story, this doesn't mean it turn into a X-over, I'm only borrow them for this story.
Mention of incest, child abuse and abuse
Two days after Cate told the pack and Chris Argent about Stiles, they were at the veterinary .
Deaton found the scroll in the silverfinger (or what the hell you call it) and he told them how to defeat the Nogitsune.
'So we need to change his host to defeat the dark spirit and then it will be all over.' Deaton said.
'So what you're saying is, that i need to turn Stiles into a werewolf?' Scott asked 'He will never forgive me, Stiles never wanted to be a werewolf.'
'Yeah but what if it saves his life?' Lydia said 'Wouldn't he be thankful for that?'
'I don't know' Derek said 'We never discussed it'
'But I know what he wants' Cate said
Everyone looked at the archangel.
'Stiles told me that he never wanted to be a werewolf but if the bite could save him, you can do it. Even if the bite wouldn't take and Stiles dies.' Cate said.
'He really said that?' Scott asked.
'Yes he did, he told me that he would rather be a werewolf than a dark fox spirit because he knows how to keep it under control and with the Nogitsune we didn't know when he was striking again' Cate said 'We were lucky that Stiles could keep it under control because I took the nightmares away from him.'
'But now the dark spirit has taken over Stiles and the whole town is in chaos, we also need more reinforcements.' Deaton said.
'My mom defeated the Nogitsune before and she gave me this' Kira said and she showed them the sword 'Well I had to give this a spark of thunder because it broke into little pieces after my mom defeated it with a werewolf.'
Cate looked at the sword and smiled.
'That is exactly what we need but we also need somebody who knows what's inside the Nogitsune's mind' Cate said.
'What do you mean?' Deaton asked.
'Well as you know, the Nogitsune is a fox, most foxes are Tricksters and you shouldn't trust them. So we need somebody who can create the same things and know how the trickster minds works.' Cate said.
'Okay so we need some other kitsune, who likes to play tricks.' Derek said.
He turned his head and asked Kira: 'Do you and your mom know somebody who does that?'
Kira shook her head, telling them no.
'But didn't Cate said, not to trust a fox?' Allison said.
'Yes I did and before you ask, I actually know the perfect guy for this.' Cate said smiling 'How do you feel for putting a second archangel in the fight?'
'Cate we know you feel a bit lonely as the only archangel but i don't think we need an another archangel.' Derek said 'Can't you do it yourself?'
'Actually I can't Derek, I mean i know some tricks because i learn that from him after i became an archangel but he is not only an archangel but also a creature known as the Trickster.' Cate said 'He can create a time loop and make you feel like Groundhog Day, he played a trick with Dean, Sam and his little brother Cas by throwing them in TV-Land. So he know how a trickster thinks.'
'Wait a minute, an archangel turned into a trickster? How the hell did that happened? And does Stiles knows this?' Chris said.
'Stiles doesn't know this, I didn't even know until Stiles got it under control.' Cate said.
'But who is he?' Scott asked.
Cate smiled and said: 'My mate Gabe'
'Gabe? That name doesn't sound familiar, I've read about the archangels and I know there is four of them.' Peter said 'There is Michael, Lucifer, Raphael and Gabriel but Cate is also an archangel so maybe there is more.'
'Well there are five created archangels, Metatron is also an archangel and I was born as a human with special powers. Just because I mate with Gabriel, i became an archangel too because a child born out of love between an angel and a human is forbidden and called a Nephilim.' Cate said.
'But does he want to help us, I mean we are the supernatural creatures, the angels love to wipe away.' Ethan said.
'Gabe knows about you, Stiles always talked about you and Gabe told me that if we needed him, he is only a prayer away.' Cate said 'But in this case i need to go to the grocery shop.'
'Why?' Lydia said. 'We can't have the time for shopping.'
'Chill, I'm only gone for a minute and we need a lot of candy, Gabe loves them and Tricksters are also know for their sweet tooth.'
When Cate returned from the grocery, Chris began to pray.
'Gabriel archangel of the lord, i pray for you to help us. We have a dark situation in here and we need your help to defeat this.'
When nothing happens, Cate said: 'Okay let's do it again but now I'm doing it.'
She looked up and yelled: ' GABRIEL, GET YOUR FEATHERY ASS DOWN HERE, THERE'S A BOX FULL OF CANDY BARS AND SUCKERS WAITING HERE AND THEY HAVE YOUR NAME ON IT!'
'You got me at candy bars kiddo.' a voice spoke and when everybody turned around, Gabe was already picking up a candy bar.
'See i knew you would coming if i got candy for you, you love them more than you love me.' Cate said it with a fake dramatic voice.
Gabe smiled, walked to his mate and gave her a kiss before biting in the candy bar.
'Oh you love it kiddo.' Gabe said.
Derek looked at the angelic pair and he felt sad.
Cate introduced everyone and Gabe was smiling.
'Can we trust him?' Chris asked 'Because I think he have something on his sleeve to trick us.'
'Yes we can.' Cate said and she turned her head to Gabe and asked him: ' What are the repercussions for pulling a trick on us, Gabe?'
Gabe smile fell and said: 'You'll be putting me in a ring of holy fire and deny me from intercourse and candy for a month'
Cate smiled and Derek said smiling: 'Well we know who is wearing the pants in your relationship.'
'I know, she can kick my ass into heaven in 0.1 second and eat my candy at the same time.' Gabe whined.
'That's because you think everybody deserves a prank. Yourfatherforbid if you got through the day without a prank.' Cate said.
'Does this sound familiar with you guys?' Peter asked 'Because i swear it's just like i hear Stiles and Derek arguing with each other.'
Derek glared at his uncle while everyone else laughed.
'It is true though, Stiles told us how you two argued a lot and that Gabe and me reminded him of you two' Cate said 'Including the smiting threats and shoving each other against the walls'
'Yeah but we don't do that all the time, i mean how many wall did we broke Cate?' Gabe said.
'A lot Gabe, a lot but we can fix it with a snap of our fingers,' Cate said
'Okay enough with the foreplay, what are we going to do?' The sheriff said when he came in the backroom.
Gabe smiled and said: 'We need to practice all the ideas, we have now.'
'We don't have time for that' Chris said.
'Actually we do.' Gabe said 'Like Cate said, i can create a time-loop and we try to defeat the Nogitsune. If we fail, the day starts over again from the moment we wake up and try again.'
'But wouldn't everyone notice this?' Allison said.
'No, we are the only one who relive the day over and over again. Even the Nogitsune doesn't notice it.' Gabe said.
'How can you tell that?' the Sheriff asked.
'Because we've done this before.' Cate said and she thought about that day.
'When the chaos began, I tried to stop the Nogitsune but I also knew i had one shot. So Gabe created a time-loop and I tried to stop the chaos. I've tried fighting, I've tried talking to the Nogitsune so i could reach Stiles and get him to fight it, I've tried to play chess and even to play Go but i couldn't stop the Nogitsune from destroying the city. But then Cas came and he told me to go to Stiles sleeping form and wipe away the nightmare. We didn't think it would work but we all knew we had to try it. So after 20 times waking up with Asia's song Heat of the moment on Thursday, we had the solution. And that's why Stiles and me are roommates.'
'Stiles doesn't know this because we never told him in case we needed to do this again.' Gabe told them.
'Okay but i have one question.' Lydia said 'What happens if one of us dies?'
'If one of you die and we don't succeed, the day starts again with all of you and nobody died.' Gabe said 'But if we succeed, the time-loop is gone and we start from that point but the ones who died in that time, well they are dead.'
'Wait a minute, so we can die in there but we can come back again if we fail but we stay dead if we succeed?' Scott asked shockingly 'Isn't there another way, where we don't die?'
Cate looked at Gabe and said: 'You are a trickster too !'
'Meaning ?' Gabe asked.
'You can pull some tricks on us too.' Cate said
'I'm not following you Cate.' Derek said and the others were nodding too.
'No there is another way to do this, Gabe can create an illusion too, he can shift himself as the Nogitsune in Stiles and do the things he would do and if one of us dies in there en we come back to reality, they are alive too,' Cate said.
'You mean like TV-Land?' Gabe asked ' That was fun until Dean and Sam figured me out.'
'Yeah and you had to change Sam back too.' Cate smiled 'Sam was Dean's talking car, so when Gabe asked where they got the holy oil, Dean said that he pulled it out of Sam's ass because Sam being the car en holy oil in the trunk in the back.'
Everyone laughed at that.
'But be serious here, I can do that but I need to go now and find out how he's working. Because I only pull tricks on people who deserve it and not to cause total chaos, pain and strife.' Gabe said.
'When do we start this?' Chris said.
'You will see, it's better to not say anything about this but I'll give you a sign.' Gabe said before he vanished.
The next day, everyone got a call from the sheriff about a supernatural break and entry into the school.
When they were at the school and enter a classroom, they were at Derek's loft.
'How did we get in here?' Derek asked Cate.
'Gabe got us here. This is the illusion.' Cate said.
'Well done my friend' they all heard and when they turned around, they saw Stiles standing there.
Only it was the Nogitsune Stiles and they all smiled, thinking it was Gabe.
'It's not him you know.' the Nogitsune said and he points to a corner.
When they followed his finger, they all saw Gabe in the corner, surrounded by Holy fire.
Everyone knew that they were trapped now, everyone but Cate, who saw Gabe wink at her.
Allison grabbed her taser and shot the Nogitsune but he caught it and broke it.
Derek began to growl and tried to attack the Nogitsune but the nogitsune grabbed Derek, almost broke his shoulder, turned him around and throwing him away.
Chris grabbed his gun and pointed to the nogitsune.
The sheriff grabbed his gun and pointed to Chris, telling him not to shoot his son.
At that point, Cate zapped herself behind the nogitsune and threw him against the wall.
'Quick, Get some water and throw it on the fire.' Cate yelled 'I can't hold him much longer'
Derek ran to the kitchen, grabbed a bucket and before he could fill it, Peter got a glass of water and gave it to him.
Derek ran to Gabe and threw the glass empty on the fire.
The fire was out and they all saw no burning marks on the ground.
'It's holy fire guys, it only burn the oil not the place where the fire is.' Gabe said.
'Guys, we need to do something, i can't hold him anymore.' Cate said and before anyone could do something, they were all thrown out of the door, standing in the school again.
'Everyone doing okay?' Cate asked.
They all nodded and Cate looked at Gabe.
'What happened?' She asked.
'He got me before i could do anything. It was his illusion not mine.' Gabe said.
'What? But why did you wink at me?' Cate said.
'Because i wanted to make you believe that i was also the nogitsune.' Gabe said.
'Wait a minute, you mean you let your mate believe that it was two of you? But why would you trap yourself in holy fire?' Aiden asked.
'So i could throw the illusion one to the wall because Gabe knows that his other one always can escape the holy fire.' Cate said.
'Cate needed to see the different between the real me and the Astral me.' Gabe said.
'But why?' Derek asked.
'Because i have a feeling we need it' Gabe said.
After they left the school and went to Derek's loft, Peter told them what he saw.
He told them that Stiles looked so bad that he wouldn't survive a slap across his face, much less a bite of a werewolf and that it was a fight of his mind.
'So what options do we have now?' Malia asked.
'We need to go inside his head or actually Scott and Derek need to go inside his head.' Peter said.
Derek knew what Peter meant and said: 'But do you think it will work? I mean Scott and me aren't exactly his favorite person now.'
'Yeah why not Cate and Gabe? They are friends with them.' Scott asked.
'Because Scott you are the Alpha and you have the claws and I think our Angelic friends can kill you if you pierce your claws inside their necks.' Peter said.
'Actually we don't need claws to get inside somebody's head but yes if we got pierce by the claws, it will kill you.' Gabe said.
'And despite the fact that we are friends, Gabe and me can't reach him even if we use our powers' Cate said.
'What do you mean?' Scott asked.
'Stiles is mad at you two for pushing him away but i know that deep inside his head, that he knows you both tried to protect him, that he still is a part of the pack.' Cate said 'But the nogitsune make him believe that Derek hates his guts and you think that he's a liability. Which we all know it isn't true.'
'But what do we have to do? I tried to talk with him that day but he wouldn't believe me.' Scott said.
'That's because the nogitsune already was on the surface.' Cate said 'I had a feeling that seeing you and Derek would break the control, Stiles had on the nogitsune and it did. He called me that night and I was there for him, Watching over him and took his nightmare away. That's why he let Deaton poisoning him. But when the poison was out of his system, i knew that it wouldn't take long and that the nogitsune was ready to strike. And when you all came inside and Stiles saw Derek, well that was the last straw, the moment for the nogitsune to strike.'
'What I'm trying to say is, you both need to make him believe, he isn't a liability or that you hate him. Stiles need to hear the truth.' Cate said.
Derek nodded and he looked at Scott.
'We have to do it, it's our only chance Scott, we need to save Stiles.' Derek said.
'Okay we'll do it' Scott said 'But how do we get him and how can we trap him?'
'We just need an opportunity and we need something to hold him in place.' Gabe said.
'I have something for that.' Deaton said while he hold up a vial.
'What's that?' Cate asked.
'It's the venom of a kanima and yes it's Jackson's' Deaton said.
'Long story Cate' Derek said 'I tell you after all this is done.'
'You mean, Jackson asked for the bite when you were an alpha, turned into a kanima and some idiot named Matt became his master, so he could get his revenge on the swimming team?' Cate said 'Yeah Stiles told us everything'
'So you also know about the sacrifice to the nemeton?' Scott asked.
'Yes Scott I know everything.' Cate said.
She turned to the sheriff and said: ' I also need to see Claudia's medical file, sheriff.'
'Why?' the sheriff asked.
'Because Stiles recently had a MRI and he is diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia and i know it was the disease his mom died from.' Cate said 'But because the nogitsune is a trickster, I need to know if this isn't one of his tricks.'
'I call Melissa to get the file' the sheriff said and he walked away.
'Okay and I'm going to get his file at the hospital' Cate said and she vanished and came back a the second after.
'I thought you would retrieve his file?' Derek said 'You were gone for a second'
Cate smiled and showed them the manila folder.
'Angels can fly around the world and see everything in a couple of seconds' Cate said 'Nobody wouldn't even notice that the file is missing'
'We can go to the hospital now.' The sheriff said.
'Okay do we go the usual way or want to go with Angel airways?' Cate asked.
'Let's go with your way, I need some air miles.' The sheriff said laughing.
'Okay bend your knee a little and hold on.' Cate said while walking to the sheriff.
She put her hand on his shoulder and they both disappeared.
'Man I'll never get used to that' Scott said.
Meanwhile at the hospital
'Hi Melissa, do you have it?' The sheriff said to the nurse.
Melissa turned around and look shock before she said: 'John how fast did you drive?'
'Not here' John said.
They walk to an empty room and John said; 'Melissa this is Stiles roommate Cate-Lynn, Cate this is Melissa McCall.'
Cate and Melissa shook hands and Cate asked: 'McCall? Like as Scott McCall?'
'That's my son' Melissa said 'But how do you know him?
'She knows about the supernatural, you can trust her.' John said.
Cate nodded and said; 'I met him at Deaton's when the nogitsune took over and I'm helping him since that day.'
Melissa nodded and asked John: 'But how did you get here so fast?'
John put his arm around Cate and said: 'Cate here is an archangel, she flew us here.'
Melissa looked at John and shook her head.
Suddenly a thunder was heard and Melissa and John both saw the shadow of wings on the wall behind Cate.
When it disappeared, Cate said: ' My wings, you only can see them like this.'
Melissa was speechless and John said: 'Did you do that with Stiles and the rest of the pack?'
Cate smiled 'Only with Stiles and just because he wanted to see them. And yes he was speechless too, which apparently is a miracle given his ADHD.'
John and Melissa began to laugh.
'Okay let's look at both the MRI's.' Cate said while she got Stiles his MRI out of the folder.
Melissa got Claudia's out and they both held it up.
When they saw the same, Cate took both of them and placed them together, They were identical.
Cate gave Claudia's back to Melissa and said: 'Well this is a trick, Stiles doesn't die at all.'
'What do you mean?' John said.
'Frontotemporal Dementia never strikes on exact the same place with two different persons, even if they are related.' Cate said.
'So Stiles doesn't have this, but how can we see it?' John said.
'That is because it's there now but when the nogitsune is out of Stiles and you make another MRI, you will see nothing there. Cate said.
'Yeah if he wants to, Stiles can be very stubborn if he doesn't want to do anything.' John said.
'Oh trust me Sheriff, I can convince him. Just because Derek and Scott's puppy eyes won't work on him, doesn't mean that Isaac's eyes won't work and Stiles never can resist my puppy eyes.' Cate said 'And if that doesn't work, i can easily put him to sleep and bring him here.'
Melissa's pager began to go off and she told them she had to go back to work.
They said their goodbye and left the room.
Derek's loft
The pack were waiting until Cate and the sheriff came back.
'Does anyone of you think that Stiles is really dying?' Peter asked.
Lydia look at the older wolf and shrugs her shoulders.
'But what if he dying?' Scott said 'Do we let him die?'
Derek looked at the alpha with tears in his eyes.
'We can't let him die!' Scott said 'We need him'
'But what if he wants to die?' Derek said 'We all know that Stiles wouldn't take the bite.'
'There has to be something, like a cure' Scott said.
Before Derek could reply, Cate and the sheriff reappeared again.
'It's a trick, they look identical and this would never strike at the exact same place with two persons, even if they are relatives.' Cate said 'But we need to know this for sure after the nogitsune is defeated'
'But is there a cure for it?' Scott asked.
'No there is no cure for it' John said.
'Well you better get the file back, Cate before they notice it's missing' Derek said to Cate.
'She already did' John said 'And it was fun in Orlando.'
'Orlando, Florida?' Everyone asked.
'Yup' Cate said popping the p.
Derek sat there, looking at the archangel when Cate came to sit next to him.
'Are you alright Derek?' She asked.
'I'm fine.' Derek said to her.
'No you're not, I can detect the lie by only looking in your eyes.' Cate said 'We angels can look into your soul'
'Derek can't sleep properly since Stiles left and now with the nogitsune, Derek don't sleep at all.' Peter said.
'Because if I'll go to sleep, I'll have nightmares.' Derek said 'Nightmares about Stiles and that no matter what i do, I'll always lose him.'
Derek tried to stop the tears but they came eventually and Cate put her arm around the wolf.
'Shh it's okay, just let it all out.' Cate said to him 'You don't have to be strong all the time, Don't have to be his sourwolf all the time.'
Derek looked at Cate and Cate stroke his hair.
'Go to sleep Derek, I'll watch over you' she said.
'Don't want to.' Derek said sleepy.
Cate put two fingers on his forehead and Derek fell asleep.
'Don't worry guys, he's sleeping' Cate told the others 'It's for the best if we all go to sleep'
'But what about you and Gabe?' Scott asked.
'Angels don't need to sleep or eat or other things you do' Gabe said
'Don't worry about us' Cate said 'If something happens, we'll wake you.'
Scott was reassured and ordered his pack to go home and sleep.
They all stayed and Gabe snapped his fingers for sleeping bags.
They didn't have to wait long to find the nogitsune.
He was found unconscious at the school parking lot two days later.
That was good news for the pack, bad news was that there was a guy with him, saying he needs to go to the hospital.
Aiden en Lydia brought them to Derek's because that guy would let them leave with Stiles.
'I demand an explanation, Stiles needs to go to the hospital, you can't take him to this dump.' the guy said.
'Sorry but he wouldn't go away' Lydia said while Aiden put Stiles on the couch.
'Okay' Scott said 'Now what?'
Cate and Gabe came into the room and they saw the guy talking.
'Look at that, the asshole is here, pretending like he care about Stiles.' Cate said with venom 'What are you doing here Declan?'
Declan looked at Cate and said: ' What have you done to him? If he dies, it's your ass who on the line.'
'Well Declan, HE IS DYING IF YOU DON'T SHUT YOUR FREAKING MOUTH, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU EVEN CARE FOR HIM, ONLY TO GET YOU FIX BY HITTING AND KICKING HIM, TELLING HIM THAT HE'S NO GOOD AND YOU FUCK HIM HARD SO HE CAN'T WALK STRAIGHT FOR WEEKS.' Cate yelled 'SO IF YOU NICELY REMOVE YOURSELF OUT OF HERE, I'LL WOULD APPRECIATE IT, YOU STUPID FUCKING ASSHOLE.'
Declan ran to her and punched her in her face very hard , just to grab his hand tight and screamed like a baby the second after.
Cate stood there smiling, everyone else asked her if she was alright.
'I'm fine guys, it was just a pat for me' Cate said.
'YOU BROKE MY HAND, BITCH' Declan yelled.
Cate smiled and said: 'Yeah i did' while she discreetly signed at the other to give the venom to Stiles without Declan notice him.
Lydia, Ethan, Danny, Peter, Malia and Scott stood before the couch while Derek and Aiden held Stiles his mouth open so Deaton could give him the venom.
But the nogitsune woke up and grabbed Aiden by his throat.
While Declan started to yell to them and Cate was held back by Gabe.
'You let him go now or I'll sue you.' Declan yelled.
'Would you look at that? The whole gang together.' The nogitsune said and then he couldn't move any of his limbs.
'Kanima venom, nice touch' the nogitsune said to Deaton.
'What is this? You paralyzed him? You are so dead.' Declan said to them.
Derek growled and tried to attack him but Cate stopped him.
'Derek, don't. That SOB isn't worth it. It will only feed the nogitsune and we need you.' Cate whispered 'Stiles need you now more than ever.'
'What is this, some kind of a sick joke, because I'm not laughing.' Declan said.
'Would you go the fuck away?' Scott said to Declan, barely control his shift.
'NO I'LL STAY HERE WHERE I CAN SEE WHAT YOU DOING TO MY BOYFRIEND!' Declan yelled
'Your boyfriend? More like your punching bag you mean.' The nogitsune said 'You think that Stiles like this? That he likes to be beaten and be humiliated by you?'
Declan look shocked and the nogitsune continued: 'You do think that Stiles love it? Hahaha that is so funny because Stiles never loved you. It was all me, who let him stick with you.'
Declan was worried and said: ' Why is he talking about himself in third person?'
The nogitsune began to laugh and Declan told him to stop.
'You never had Stiles, only when you used him as you punching bag, just like your dad used you as his punching bag and his own bitch. Tell me how does it feel to be fucked by your own Dad? I can feel the anger and the pain. Did you enjoyed it, knowing that your dad would never love you? Did you enjoy having sex with Stiles ? Because Stiles didn't. Stiles was thinking about other things while you were pounding your cock in his ass or was it somebody else? He always whispered a different name like a prayer.'
'STOP IT, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS STILES, WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN?' Declan said.
'Because I'm not Stiles, I'm a dark fox spirit who tricked all of you.' The nogitsune said 'Stiles isn't in control for a year. I've been feeding from Cate for a year. You know Cate here is an archangel and can take away the pain. And on top of that you can't hurt her because she so strong but you already know.' Then he turned to Scott and said: 'Stiles will never forgive you, he hates you for all the times you left him for that hunter girlfriend of yours or should i saw ex-girlfriend? You are a lousy best friend, no wonder Stiles replaced you for an archangel. She doesn't try to kill him every frigging month, on the full moon.' Then he turned to Derek and said: 'would you look at that? A protective and possessive werewolf, all going Alpha on that SOB, because as much as i like Declan, I'll have to agreed with Cate about him. And do you really think that Stiles is going to love you, like you love him? Because I don't think after all you have done to him, he will hate you.'
Then he looked at the rest of the pack and told them why Stiles left.
'We already know, Derek told us.' Lydia said 'So got any other news?'
'Okay you brought something something for his body, do you something for his mouth?' Allison asked to Deaton.
'Yes i do' Deaton said and he grabbed some duck tape.
'I have something better.' Cate said en she pointed two finger to the nogitsune and make a cutting gesture.
'What did you do?' Scott asked.
'I cutted his vocal cords, he can't talk right now so the duck tape is unnecessary. With this he can't trick us to get the tape off and let him continue his little rant.' Cate said 'I'm glad his dad is at the station, He would kill me for this.'
Derek looked angrily at Cate and said 'You cut of his voice? I love that voice, now it's ruined'
'No Derek, just like i can cut his voice, i can also reverse it. hello archangel over here.' Cate said.
'Oh this is great, you are crazy, all of you so I'm going to tell the authorities about this freak-show.' Declan said and he turned around and walked to the door.
Only to be stopped by Cate, who touched his head en catch him when he fell asleep.
'Gabe would you bring him to his home?' Cate said and said something in enochian to Gabe.
Gabe nodded, grabbed Declan and vanished.
'You know if he wakes up, he will tell them about us' Scott said 'And what kind of language was that?'
'Don't worry guys, before i gave him to Gabe, i whipped his memory so if he wake up, he don't even know that he came to Beacon Hills.' Cate said 'And that was enochian, the language of the angels'
'Guys we have to move fast, the venom won't last long.' Deaton said.
Peter, Scott and Derek rushed to the couch, when John and Melissa came to the loft.
while Cate tells them what happened, Derek is sitting on the couch next to Stiles with Scott and Peter standing behind them.
Peter brought Scott's claws on the right spot in Stiles and Derek's neck while Scott asked: 'What do we do if we find him?'
Peter took a sigh and said: 'You'll have to guide him out somehow'.
'Try to give him back control of his mind and his body'
'Could you elaborate on us somehow? It's not very specific at the moment.' Lydia said.
Peter gave a shrug and said to improvise.
'But what if it's just another trick?' Scott asked.
'When are you people begin to start trusting me?'
'I meant him'
'Oh' was Peter answer.
'Scott, we're running out of time' Deaton said.
Scott took a deep breath, flashed his red eyes and pushed his claws inside Stiles and Derek's neck.
Inside Stiles his mind.
Derek and Scott both woke up, both tied on the bed.
'At least we were on something soft.' Derek thought.
They both tried to get the straps off but Derek suddenly reminds Scott about their strength.
They were both free in a instant.
Scott ran to the door and opened it but Derek was too late.
After Scott left the room, the door closed before Derek's face.
when the door opened again, Derek walked through it and found himself at the basement of his old house.
Derek remembered this, it was when Kate Argent held him hostage and tried to kill him
Derek was paralyzed with fear while the bandaged Nogitsune electrocuted him.
Meanwhile at Derek's loft
'He's bleeding' Melissa said and she wanted to go to Derek but she was stopped by Deaton.
" That wouldn't be a good idea' Deaton said while Peter and Cate looked at Derek.
'What's wrong?' Cate asked.
'Something is happening, Derek is scared. Whatever it is, he needs to snap out of it' Peter said.
'Is it wise for me to enter his mind? Maybe i can help him out.' Cate asked.
'It's our only chance' Peter said and Cate nodded before she took Derek's arm in her hands and transfer herself inside Derek's head.
Meanwhile in stiles his head with Derek.
Derek still screamed when he saw Cate behind the nogitsune.
'Derek he can't hear or see me because I'm a illusion. But this is also an illusion and you need to snap out of this now.' Cate said.
Derek nodded but then the nogitsune put on the machine again.
'Say it with me, this is not real, this is not real.' Cate said.
'This is not real, this is not real.' Derek said.
'Say it louder'
'This is not real'
'Just scream it Derek and break free'
'THIS IS NOT REAL' Derek yelled and he yanked himself free from the chains and the electrocutes.
He ran as fast as he can to the door and ran out the door.
Only to come in a big white room and Scott was there too.
Meanwhile in Derek's loft
'Do you think Cate can go through him?' Lydia asked Peter.
'She have too' Peter said.
Suddenly a blinding light came through and everyone in the room had to cover their eyes.
'It worked, Derek got out of it' Cate said.
'Now we wait' Peter said.
In side Stiles his mind.
Derek and Scott looked at the middle of the room and they saw Stiles sitting on the nemeton tree playing some board game with a creature with bandages on his head.
They tried to run to the tree but it was to far.
When they stopped, Derek had an idea.
'Scott, Stiles is still part of the pack right?'
'What?'
'Despite what we've done, Stiles is still part of the pack?
'Yeah but why?'
'What do we do to locate a pack member?'
Scott smiled and said: 'We howl'
Derek smiled too and was already shifting in his beta form when an also shifted Scott said: ' But it won't work for you'
'What do you mean?' Derek asked him confused
'You can't howl for him to locate your pack member' Scott explained
'But what do i have to do?' Derek asked his alpha
'You have to howl for your mate' Scott told his Beta
Derek thought about it and smiled again.
'This is what Cate meant to let Stiles know the real truth' Derek thought.
Derek and Scott looked at each other and then at Stiles before they began to howl.
Stiles was playing a game of go with the nogitsune, when he noticed the nogitsune looking at his left.
Not long after, two howl were heard loudly, one Alpha howl for the lost pack member and the howl of a mate.
Stiles looked at his right and he saw Scott and Derek standing there.
Stiles looked at the nogitsune, the nogitsune told him it was a trick but Stiles knew it was real.
Stiles shoved the board game of the tree and then it was darkness.
Scott, Derek and Stiles woke up and Scott asked if it worked.
Cate did the cutting gesture again and Stiles began to dry heave.
Something came out of Stiles mouth and he began to pull it out of his mouth.
It was a bandage and more of it came out until the end was out.
Then it began to move and the nogitsune appeared out of the pile.
Scott and Derek grabbed him and tried to held him back while the others were watching.
'Wait a minute' Cate said 'Get the bandage of.'
Derek got the bandage off and they saw Stiles his face.
Cate held the other one against the wall and she looked at Stiles on the couch.
She knew it and she said; 'That's the real Stiles, you two are holding.'
Before she could do anything, Void-Stiles got loose and threw her across the room before he grabbed Lydia and disappeared.
But Cate disappeared too and after ten seconds Cate and Lydia came back.
Stiles ran to Cate and hug her, whispering: 'Thank god you're okay. I don't know what to do without you.'
Cate smiled and told him 'Hey I'm an archangel remember? Nobody can't harm me, not even a nogitsune.'
Stiles began to laugh and hold his best angelic friend close to him.
