33 Apocolypse Ave, Late Wednesday afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel had returned from the Reserve meeting and was talking things over with Wyatt when suddenly he'd orbed away.

And left her behind.

She was going to kill him when he got back. But until that happened, Isabel was going to pace the living room and worry.

Jack observed the pacing for a moment, and would have turned back entirely if the house's layout hadn't meant he needed to go into the living room to get to the kitchen.

Besides, the blonde was his housemate. Possibly until the end of the world. May as well be friendly.

"Isabel, isn't it?" He said. "I'm Jack. I apologize for dropping in on all of you like this. I didn't want to be an intrusion."

"Jack," Isabel said, forcing a smile. "No apologies, please. Ronan's the one who needs to be thanked for taking us all in like this."

"We got lucky he took on so much house," Jack nodded. "Are you all right? I could sit with you or get out of your way, either's fine."

"I think it wasn't so much the house as the kitchen. He does like to cook." She resisted the urge to pull out her phone and check exactly how long Wyatt had been gone. "Company would be good. Wyatt got called away. I don't think he'll be gone long, but with everything...well, you just don't know."

[bitten_notshy]

"Where did he go?" Jack asked, hoping he hadn't left the island. "And of course, it's useful to have one person in a house who can cook. I stop at toast and heating up soup."

"Two people. I enjoy cooking and it's always fun to team up with Ronan in the kitchen." Although how much fun they'd be having in the current situation was up for debate.

"I'm not sure," Isabel admitted, answering Jack's question. "He said one of our other friends was in trouble and orbed...teleported off. Given everything that's been happening, I think I can make a good guess what the trouble was. I'm just hoping he can make it back."

[bitten_notshy]

"He's brave," Jack decided. "Ronan offered to try to get a Gate to my world, but I didn't want two people to get lost if things went wrong."

He realized that wasn't precisely encouraging. "But I'm sure Wyatt knows what he's doing."

Peter had been working long shifts which didn't give him much time for talking. However with things being as weird as they were there was no way Peter was going to let Isabel's voicemail to him go unanswered.

So when he had a few free moments on the job thus placing this conversation before he talks to Sam in the other post he gave her a call.

At this point Isabel's phone was never far from her hand. There were too many people she was trying to keep track of by way of text and voicemail.

Leaving Wyatt and Savannah to talk quietly, Isabel took her phone and head up to her room. "Peter! Thank god. I am so glad to here from you."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Same here," Peter said, relaxing when he heard her voice. "Are you okay? Where are you?"

"Ronan's place in Fandom. I'm alive. Wyatt's alive. Beyond that, everything is pretty screwed up," she told him. "Have you noticed anything weird happening?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Weird like things disappearing?" Peter replied. It was sad how time in Fandom meant not assuming that things disappearing might be the only weird thing going on.

"Got it in one." The tenuous control Isabel had been holding onto slipped just a little. "It's not just things Peter. It's people. My family is gone. Hell, my whole damn corner of the universe is gone. Same for Wyatt. We're all that's left."

Wyatt hadn't been gone long after he'd abruptly orbed out when he'd felt Savannah was in danger. A few minutes later he returned, Savannah with him. It wasn't a smooth ride, though, and he almost crashed into the couch when they reappeared.

He was more confused than panicked. How the hell had he felt Savannah was in trouble?

That's all right, Savannah was working on both the panicked and the confused. In fact, she was going to sit on this nice piece of floor and try to forget about what that thing was going to do to her before What showed up and rescued her.

Sorry Savannah, Isabel will offer you all kinds of sympathy in just a minute. First things first.

That almost crash was more then likely going to be a real crash given the shove that Isabel gave Wyatt's shoulder. "What the hell were you thinking?" she yelled. "You don't just leave me behind. Not now! Not with all this going on!"

[blessed_twice]

"Whoa!" Wyatt protested, stumbling back, holding up his hands. "I'm sorry! I just felt her -- I had to go!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Then I. GO. WITH. YOU. That's the way it is. Deal with it." Sorry Wyatt, but you might be sleeping on the couch tonight. Five days of tension and stress just found a target.

Isabel turned to Savannah then. "Hey Sweetie. Are you okay?" For whatever the given value of okay was during the end of the world.

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Everybody is gone. The Pack, Paige and Lucas, The Cortezes, the Nasts." She swallowed. "All of the Fantastic Four and if Wyatt hadn't gotten there in time ... me."

Wyatt and Savannah had left by the time Isabel got off the phone with Peter. With nothing else to do, and still feeling edgy, Isabel returned to the living room and passed her hand over the wall, repairing the damage from Wyatt's punch.

Repairs complete, she curled up in a corner of the couch to wait with her phone. For once she wasn't sending texts. Instead she was looking at pictures of her family.

Wyatt orbed back to Ronan's living room a short time later. "Hey," he said, ever so eloquently.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You're back," Isabel said. Which was stating the obvious of course.

After one last look, she slid her phone into her pocket and crossed her arms. "I'm still mad."

[blessed_twice]

"There wasn't time to discuss it with committee," Wyatt said stubbornly. "I had to go."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Then you grab my hand and we go. Don't leave me here to sit and worry if you're going to make it back." She'd done that once before and it was the longest three days of her life.

[blessed_twice]

"I had no idea about what kind of situation I was orbing into," Wyatt protested. "There was no way in hell I was going to take you into that blind."
