"The tunnel gate's locked. Everything is locked" Lydia ran into the room, you locking the door behind her.

"Think it'll hold them off ?" Malia enquired.

"Probably not" Scott admitted.

"Definitely not" You shake your head.

"You guys aren't hoping I'm gonna be the optimist, are you ?" Malia enquired.

"Do you even know how to be optimistic ?" You questioned.

"No" Malia admitted.

"So, how cold does this thing get ?" Scott pulls the tarp off the machine.

"Cold enough for a Hellhound. It's not the same thing as the ice bath you gave Isaac, but it can lower your core temperature past anything a human can survive" Lydia explained.

"So, what does freezing our asses off have to do with our memories ?" Malia quiried.

"It slows your heart rate and puts you into a trance like state. That way we can focus on Stiles with no distractions" You informed.

"Like hypnosis" Scott summarised.

"Hypnotic regression. If we can figure out how to work it ..." Lydia examined the machine.

"This says start. So, maybe it's not that complicated" Malia pressed the button, a number of dials light up.

"... It's complicated" Scott sighed.

"So, optimistically, how much time do you think we need to do this ?" Malia enquired.

"As much time as Liam and Stilinski can buy us" You shrugged.

"Okay. It's doing something. You ready ?" Malia turned to Scott.

"Remember, this will get cold enough to kill you. So, if something feels wrong, or, like it's not working ..." Lydia sighed.

"It's going to work" Scott nods, determined.

"I hope you're not saying that because you think I know what I'm doing ..." You looked at the machine, checking the dials.

"I'm saying that because I know you can figure it out" Scott smiled, you nodded, he entered the chamber, you closed the door, turning the machine on, Scott is blasted with gusts of ice cold air.

"Oh, okay. All right. Yeah, that's cold. Really cold" Scott gasps.

"So, what are we supposed to do ? Talk to him ? Help him remember ? Wait 'til he turns into a Werewolf freezy-pop ?" Malia enquired.

"None of those. We need to guide him, make sure he stays focused" You informed.

"Scott, you have to think about him. Concentrate on Stiles. Try to picture him in your head. Think about what he looks like, things he's said ..." Lydia loudly guides him.

"I don't like this. Something's wrong" Malia watched Scott closely.

"Wait. Give it a few more seconds" Lydia shakes her head.

"Ah !" Scott screamed, his hand hitting the glass.

"I'm getting him out of there" Malia reaches for the lever, you block her from reaching it.

"Wait !" You watched Scott, his eyes shining crimson.

"Scott ... Can you hear me ?" Lydia quiried.

"Scott, don't fall asleep. You have to keep your eyes open" You watched his eyes begin to close.
