[This seems to displease her; she turns half away, her lip curling. Scott the alpha. Scott the hero. Scott the impossible. She remembers what Dean said about kids, about teenagers especially, how they think they can't die. How they think they can't be hurt. Until they are, and then they never recover from it.]

[She doesn't understand it, this process. It's like she's supposed to go backwards in time. Foolish in principle, but even if it would work - she was never like Scott. She never had hope. She was never happy, or heroic. Not even as a marine. She did what she had to do, and she followed orders.]
[When she looks back at Stiles, it's with a hard expression.]
You love him.
[But her voice is cold, not like how people should talk when they talk about love. It sounds like she's accusing him of a flaw.]
