Room 406, later in the evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel was freezing by the time she made it back to her room. The leather pants and trashy, low cut top did nothing to replace the coat she'd used to cover up before they left for Aziraphale's. It hadn't been needed during their trip to the Underworld, so she'd left it at the apartment.

Fortunately, they'd gotten what they were looking for, even if doing so meant she had to play vapid blonde and hang on Cam. Of course that lasted only as long as it took for the fighting to start. But they'd gotten out without any injuries, a fact that Isabel relayed when she left messages for Greg and Jack.

She eyed the books on her desk that rustled ominously. "Don't try it. Or I'll lock you in the closet." Of course looking at the books reminded her that she really needed to study for War Theory. Something she'd already put off due to the trip to Crabapple Cove.

Isabel glanced down at her outfit and sighed. First things first, a shower, then comfy pajamas. It had been a long day.

"I don't know, these have a certain something going for them." Jack grinned and made a point of checking her out. "Very nice."

Isabel was very glad the pumpkin pie landed on Jack's head. It meant she didn't have to hit him. "I'm so glad you approve," she snarked.

Jack sighed. "And thus I am repaid," he said in the general direction of the ceiling. "You're gorgeous, I'm not blind, but I apologise."

"I suppose I can forgive you," she grinned. "It is a bit over the top. So tell me, did you ever run into Sam or Cedric? What do they think of the pie situation?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack's smile was pure wickedness as he pulled the pie off his head and dumped it in the trash. "Sam, and I could tell you, but you'd throw that pie at me. Let's just say she's sleeping the sleep of the exhausted and leave it at that."

Isabel laughed, "So no utensils were needed then? Good for her."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"It was fun." Jack stared suspiciously at the ceiling, but no more pies were forthcoming. "Your trip was a success?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It was," she nodded. "I'm glad. For Bel's sake."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I;m glad for your sake, I didn't fancy my chances at winning you back from the lord of Hades." He tipped his head and studied her, smiling faintly. "But I would have tried."

Touched, Isabel hugged him, carefully avoiding any pie. "Thank you."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He hugged her back, mentally vowing revenge should any pie gods decide to dump pie on him right at that moment. It seemed to work, for they remained pie free. "Yeah, well, I've only got one Isabel, and I'm not keen on sharing."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well you're going to have to share me, at least for a bit," she pointed out. "There' a shower that's calling out to me."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I know." Jack let her go and ruffled her hair. "Go, shower, I'll leave you in peace, and if I'm very lucky, Sam'll be awake."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You could always wake her," Isabel said, already pulling clean clothes out of her drawer.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I could, but she's so cute when she's asleep." He grinned and headed for the door. "I don't have the heart. I'll see you, Izzy."

"Night Jack," she called, still smiling as he shut the door behind him.
