And there was the question he'd known was coming but in so very many ways didn't want to talk about. The damn show. Everything that had happened. Jennifer, that darkness threatening to engulf Scott and Alison and Stiles. And giving up his Alpha status for Cora. Not that he would regret it for a second but Peter seemed entirely too pleased about it, which was dangerous. So yeah he'd watched the show, obssessed over it you might say.
"I did." he said simply almost wanting to leave it at that. But Stiles was worried about that darkness, that had to be it. And Derek actually couldn't blame him. He'd have been worried too. And seeing it creep in, unable to change anything, it was worse, Derek had watched everything that had happened since Boyd, since the Alpha pack had beaten him down and forced Boyd to die at his hands with the horrified realisation that he couldn't change it.
"Here's the thing, would you change it? Any choice you made? Anything you did to get your parents back from...from her." he aked, eyes focused on the younger man, silently pleading with him not to notice the shake in his voice at the mention of her. "Whatever comes next, whatever the price for it, you're gonna get through it. And I hope I'm there to help when you do. But here, there's not a lot we can do to alter anything and a fight like this you need to be ready for it. Not letting doubt about what's happening back home take over. Understand me?"
