Scott actually winced when Stiles dealt the blow to Derek. He found himself inwardly bracing himself, and without being able to stop it, he tried to think how he would feel if someone came to him and told him he was aged backwards and his mom was dead. Sick, horrified, crushed, terrified... and that was only the start of the list. He didn't know whether he should add more information or let Derek process as much as he could for now. "C-Cora survived," he added quietly, nervously. He even wanted to give Derek a hug. WTF? He wanted to give Derek Hale a hug. Adult Derek would probably punch him if he tried that. "You killed Peter and took his alpha status, but the bitch came back from the dead. You ended up taking Cora... somewhere well away from here to protect her."
Stiles was struggling. Scott knew Stiles so well, they were brothers in every way but blood. He was shaken. Stiles never wanted to hurt anyone and even though none of this was their fault, Stiles was shouldering the weight of it. Now all they could do was brace themselves to see how Derek reacted to all this.
