I was watching the scene were Derek was risking his life to save Cora, when it hit me why didn't he ask Peter to stand in for him so as to spread the risk and drain between the two of them. I thought it over had the situation been such as that there was a coming fight he would have asked or demanded peter to contribute to which Peter fained weakness due to his resurrection. But in this precarious situation he never even asked his help in any other form than Peter's knowledge of the supernatural. One potential reason may be that he didn't trust peter with his sister life not surprising (especially after Laura). But than Peter had been alone with her just a little bit before while everyone was running around evacuating the hospital. Another reason maybe that he still thought Peter was too weak to be of any good if not a potentially dangerous should he die in the process and taking Cora with him. But after some more pondering it came to me Derek may have known that because of the way peter is (selfish to the very core of his being ) that his ability to take away pain and heal others maybe impaired or non existent. Think about it he's the guy that has honed the ability to manipulate other peoples minds, it's not a screech to think that he put more stock in gaining power over learning to heal other people (whom he thinks of as disposable ponds in his ultimate end game) at risk to his person. I can't see him spiting on a guy whose on fire let alone trying to save them in such a way that his life (the one and only life he cares about) is endangered. No he is just to much of a survivor at heart.
