Room 406, after workshops

[izzyalienqueen]

Today's First Aid workshop had been easy and Scoobying had been fun. But Isabel still wasn't in the mood to face the crowds in the common rooms this evening. Instead she set up her laptop to watch an episode with the ninth version of Mr. What. Stretched out on her bed, she stared at the screen without really seeing it.

The door was closed.

"So...we're okay?" Greg asked worriedly, leaning his forehead to hers.

"I think so?" Isabel said quietly, reaching for his hand. "If you can accept that I'm going to go out and do stuff that might be dangerous, then yeah, we are. I can promise that I'm not going out to actively look for trouble, but if something happens, and I can help, I will." She pulled back, studying his face. "Ask Peter to tell you about power and responsibility sometime. He does it much better then I can." Sighing, Isabel shrugged. "There's a planet that needs saving. The way I look at it, everything I do now is practice for going back there."

"I can accept that if you'll acknowledge that there are two of us in this thing, and I need to be told about these things," Greg said softly.

"You're absolutely right," she said. "I promise, I will. And not with a note."

"You're allowed to wake me up," he added, smiling. "Even if I'm cranky."

"Maybe it I try the Sleeping Beauty wake-up technique, you won't be so cranky?" Isabel asked, returning his smile.

Greg considered this. "Probably not," he decided. "I'd have to test this theory."

"Research is always good," she nodded. "Does this mean I'm your lab assistant?"

"I needed one anyway," Greg said casually.

"I'm glad to help." Poking Greg lightly in his side, Isabel grinned. "Besides, I want to be the only person kissing you."

"You need to talk to Alec, then," he replied seriously.

She laughed, leaning over to give him a quick kiss. "Still traumatized by that are you?"

"Maybe," Greg admitted. "Alec is a very traumatizing person. Or cat."

"Cat? As in here kitty, kitty?"
