Stiles POV: "I don't think he's just younger in body. I think he's younger in his mind too" Deaton told them.
"He didn't recognize either of us. And he looked like he was scared out of his mind" Lydia said as she bandaged Deaton's arm where Derek scratched him.
"So if you're a teenage werewolf and you're scared where do you go?" Stiles asked.
"A wolf goes back to its den. But Derek lives in a loft" Scott said.
"Not when he was a teenager" Stiles said.
"The Hale house?" Lydia asked.
"He wouldn't remember the fire. It wouldn't have happened yet" Deaton said.
"Oh god he might be on his way there now" Selene said her voice filled with pain for Derek.
"Hold on. Say you do manage to catch up to him? What are you going to say to him? That his whole family is dead?" Lydia asked.
"I guess I'm going to have to" Scott said.
"Oh. Good luck with that" Lydia said sarcastically.
"She's probably right. Maybe you shouldn't. You know at least until we figure out how to get him back to normal" Stiles said.
"I can't lie to him" Scott replied.
"Okay I'll do it" Stiles told him.
"I don't think any of us can. Remember he can head a heartbeat rising. When we find him we tell him the truth" Scott said.
"If he gets to the house fist you won't have to" Deaton said.
Just then Selene let out a heart breaking sound and gripped her chest.
"Selene what's wrong?" Stiles asked rushing to her side absentmindedly rubbing his own chest.
"He knows" Selene said.
Then Selene gripped Stiles arm hard and let out a soft cry of pain.
"Someone's electrocuting him. Taser maybe. God I forgot how teenage Derek can't keep his feelings to himself" Selene growled softly.
"If he's being Tased he'll most likely be brought to the station we'll head there" Stiles said feeling like he got a static shock somehow.
Once at the station they rushed inside only for Stiles to suddenly stop in the doorway causing Scott to crash into him and Selene barely stop in time. They looked at Stiles' dad who took them into his office.
"I want you to be honest with me. Absolutely and completely honest. Have you been time traveling?" his dad asked.
"Hang on what?" Stiles said.
"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" his dad continued.
"We found him like that" Scott said.
"Where swimming in the Fountain of Youth?!"
"No. We found him 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 said.
Selene was trying so hard not to laugh as she touched his arm.
"Stiles just… just stop."
"You told me you were camping!"
"We were… in Mexico" Stiles told his dad slowly.
"Derek's been aged backwards. He can't remember anything" Scott jumped in.
"We just need to talk to him" Stiles said.
"Yeah well so far he's not talking to anybody" the Sheriff said.
"He'll talk to me" Scott said.
When they let Derek into the room he looked around and saw Selene and rushed her hugging her close.
"Hey kid" Selene said hugging him back.
"What's going on Selene?" Derek asked.
"Derek this is Scott you should listen to him and he'll get you out of here" Selene said.
"There was an accident. You lost some memory but we can help you get it back" Scott said.
Stiles noticed envelopes on his dad's desk some said second notice.
"And who is he? Who are you?" Derek asked looking at Stiles.
"Oh we're the ones keeping you outta jail" Stiles said looking away from the envelopes.
Selene POV: "Let us help you" Scott said.
"No" Derek replied.
"Derek…" Selene tried.
"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 jumped in sounding very Alpha.
"I'm fine as long as it's not a full moon" Derek replied respectfully and calmly like answering an Alpha.
Selene looked at Stiles wondering what was up with that command.
"You still have trouble with the full moon?" Scott asked.
"I said I'm fine."
"Alright you coming with us or not?" Stiles asked no longer with the power of an Alpha in his voice so Selene watched Derek.
"You want me to trust you? Where's my family?"
"There was a fire and… 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 your memories back" Scott said.
Both Selene and Stiles stared at Scott totally shocked.
"Okay" Derek finally said.
Stiles Selene and Scott waited at the counter for Derek to sign some papers.
"I shouldn't have done that. I lied my ass off" Scott said.
"Hey your ass is fine. You saved him a ton of unnecessary pain. We'll figure this out in a day or two he goes back to being old Derek everyone's happy. Except for Derek who's never happy" Stiles said as his hand wrapped around Selene's waist to grab her ass lightly.
She giggled.
"Can you two stop already? It's just another person that we're lying to. I always feel like it's been better when we tell the truth. With Lydia my mom your dad" Scott said and Stiles took his hand off Selene's ass.
"We'll try" Selene smiled.
"That's Derek Hale in there. He may be a kid right now but he's still Derek Hale" Stiles said.
"No he's not. I remember the first time I met Derek Hale. I was going to meet with his mom Talia to go over pack business. I was a little early so I thought I'd hunt down a rabbit for a snack. I finally cornered one when all the sudden this little seven year old boy comes tromping through the woods scaring the rabbit away. I knew he was a Hale so I let my eyes glow and told him he scared off my lunch. He ran away and I felt so bad I thought I scared him too much. So I went to find him but he comes running back and holds out this peanut butter and jelly sandwich saying I could have his lunch and it's the best in the world cause his mom made it. I smiled and ended up sharing it with him and as we went to go to his house he took my hand ME scary Alpha of Alphas he took it and said there were a lot of dangerous creatures in the woods and he'd protect me cause he was a Hale and that's what they did. He was a scrawny little nothing seven year old and he was going to protect ME. It felt like he gave me some of my humanity back. Ever since I always came back to check on him every few months I was here when he first changed when he killed Paige and when he learned his family was gone… in that room is Derek Hale but not the Derek Hale you guys know he's not strong and hard he's a kid who loves his family" Selene explained to them smiling at the memory yet feeling the remnants of pain Derek felt all those years ago when his family was killed.
"All right take him to my house and don't let him out of your sight. Selene I'm guessing he trusts you so try to keep him calm."
"And where are you going?" Stiles asked.
"I'm going to go talk to the guy we should have gone to before" Scott told him.
"Uh yeah I hate that guy" Stiles yelled after Scott as he left.
Stiles and Selene took Derek back to Scott's place.
"We're going to wait here for Scott. We're going to sit quietly we're not going to call or talk to anyone" Stiles explained.
"Do I talk to you?" Derek asked.
"No" Stiles replied.
"Good."
"Fine."
"Who's going to talk to him?" Derek asked pointing to Scott's dad.
"Ah! Are you getting taller?" Stiles asked.
"What are you guys doing here?" Mr. McCall asked.
"We're waiting for Scott" Derek answered.
"Yeah so am I. We're supposed to have dinner. I brought extra. You guys hungry?"
"Yeah."
"No we're not hungry" Stiles spoke over Derek.
"No I'm starving" Derek said.
"Neither of us are hungry. Thanks though" Stiles said as Selene silently laughed beside him.
No matter Derek's age they still battled.
"Okay well if you're not hungry Stiles your friends can still eat with us. What's your name?" Mr. McCall asked Derek.
"Miguel… my cousin Miguel. From Mexico. So…" Stiles put his arm around Derek.
Then Mr. McCall started speaking Spanish.
"Oh my god" Stiles said softly before Derek replied in perfect Spanish.
"Fantastic egg roll?" Mr. McCall asked.
"Hell yeah."
As they began to set the table Stiles laughed nervously before Selene took his hand and they joined the others.
"Fantastic. Egg roll" Stiles said.
"So uh Miguel what did you say your last name was again?" Mr. McCall asked over dinner.
"Oh it's Juarez Cinqua… Tiago" Stiles said.
"That's a… that's a mouthful. How do you spell that?" Derek looked at Stiles and Selene just smiled she was thoroughly amused.
"Phonetically" Stiles said.
"Mr. McCall you're an FBI agent?" Derek asked.
"He's low level. Very low level he doesn't even have a voice" Stiles said.
"So do you investigate murders?"
"Sometimes when it's a federal crime."
"What about fires?"
"Oh my god I wonder where Scott is. Shouldn't Scott be here by now? We should call Scott" Stiles said loudly.
"What kind of fires are you talking about?"
Stiles gave a nervous laugh as he tried to get a hold of Scott.
"Do you know anything about the Hale family?" Mr. McCall told Derek everything.
Once up in Scott's room Derek slammed Stiles against the door.
"Okay I didn't lie. I omitted certain truths. Vital truth's now that I think about it" Stiles said.
"Derek enough" Selene spoke up.
"I don't want to talk to you. I trusted you! I want to talk to the Alpha I'll talk to Scott" Derek said releasing Stiles giving Selene a hurt look.
"Okay I'm going to go get him. My phone's downstairs going to call him real quick. You stay here don't move okay? Don't move. Don't… I thought you…" Stiles said leaving but going back then he and Selene went downstairs.
Selene felt hurt for betraying Derek.
"No he's in your bedroom he'll be totally fine. To be honest I'm starting to miss the old Derek. So if you actually think that Kate's coming to find him… you might be right" Stiles said on the phone with Scott as they walked back up to Scott's room.
When Selene saw Kate drop from the window and Derek already gone she dove head first out the window. She landed just in time to see Kate drive away with Derek. Kate reached out the window and shot Selene in the leg a silencer on her gun.
"Selene!" Stiles yelled from the window.
She looked up and growled.
"She took him."
"Scott's calling Lydia we'll find him and her" Stiles said leaning out the window.
Stiles got a text to go to the school so grabbing his bat he and Selene drove to the school.
"You seriously need to find something better than a baseball bat" Lydia said coming up behind them.
Then they all ran into the school's campus. Seeing there was a vault open under the school sign Stiles Selene and Lydia went down.
"The Hale Vault" Selene told them softly.
They saw Peter kneeling in front of an empty safe.
"They took it they took it while I was blinded" Peter said.
"Took what?" Lydia asked.
"Bonds. Bearer bonds and they took them all" Peter explained.
"Bearer bonds? Hold on. Are you saying you got robbed?" Stiles said.
"This was a heist somebody planned this" Peter growled.
"How much did they take?" Lydia asked.
"117."
"Thousand?" Stiles asked.
"Million" Peter said.
