[that makes him flinch, just a little. it's not even worth pretending that jesse's ability to take people's powers isn't terrifying. taking peter's 'power' is taking away half of him, the greater part of the foundation of his selfhood. it's not as though there's 'peter' and 'the wolf', really. there's only peter, and sometimes he's more wolf than others. the idea of losing that is as terrifying to him as losing her emotions again is to steph. there's a reason that isaac and scott chose being locked up to losing their lycanthropy, and a reason peter stayed with them. he sighs.]
