[The breach ends and Scott is exhausted, from the drifts and the new memories and the attacks. He doesn't want to think about how many people got hurt there, because it's impossible not to think of that place as real. There's another him somewhere, piloting a Jaeger with another Clementine, and they're both fighting for their lives.

He makes his way back to his bedroom and drops face first onto the bed, not realizing how long he's actually been asleep. That's where he'll be found, but the usual conga line of visitors. Except this time, he'll probably wake up when people start talking around him.]

[Public Video, later]

[Scott looks really weirded out. Like. Really. For a moment he just stares into the camera; it passes, and he shakes his head like he needs to physically clear it.]

Okay, so...I guess I was asleep for a while. Sorry, if that freaked anyone out. [A beat.] It's totally freaking me out.

Anyway, I'm back, so if anyone needs me, uh, I'm here? I guess I never actually left...[He mutters the last to himself, and decides to turn the feed off there before he starts babbling incoherently.]

[Private to Clementine]

How are you?

[It's not a lead in to something else. It's not just polite small talk. When he asks, he means it. He's worried about her, because in the unlikely chance she needed him, he wasn't awake to answer.]

He's-- nice. [At least he apologized for trying to rip her to shreds?]

I think he's really new to this, so, before you meet him, you might wanna take some time to get used to the idea. He's gonna need you. [No pressure, though!]

[Pressure what pressure, just the pressure caving in his chest, n b d....]

I'm...I'll try, I mean, I'm trying. I just don't know why I'd....do it.

You were willing to do it to save Stiles, right? [With a sigh, she gives him a look.]

You're not Peter, Scott. You wouldn't do it for selfish reasons, to have a bigger pack. If you turned him, you had a good reason. [And in that, she believes 100%, because she believes in Scott.]

[It takes a small weight off his chest, hearing her say that. He's not Peter. He's not Deucalion, even if he felt like them after every time he was his mirror-self.]

Yeah. you're right. [Because he can't imagine the reason, but he doesn't want to try, either. What he was willing to do for Stiles still makes his stomach flip.]

Being a dad is going to be really weird. [Blame Stiles for that particular joke.]

[She smiles softly at his words, glad he's relaxing a little. But if anyone can give a new wolf the support and help they need, it's definitely Scott. The Hales were never good Alphas. Scott, however, helps all of them, even though most of them aren't even actual werewolves. His pack isn't about power, it's about family.]

Well, you're gonna have plenty of help to raise the kid. I'm sure he'll be fine as soon as he realizes he has you.

So no pressure or anything. [He gives her a helplessly wry smile for that, but he's feeling more buoyed with her and Stiles' reactions. They'll all figure it out. It takes a village, and all that.]
