Room 406, after classes into evening

[izzyalienqueen]

After stopping by Greg's to check on him and finding him sleeping the sleep of the heavily cold-medicated, Isabel returned to her room for what appeared to be a very mellow Valentine's night.

Still, she couldn't complain. Library had been fun and Hunting had been as interesting as always. Isabel set her roses on the desk and took a moment to read the cards once more.

A yellow and a pink rose with a note that says Happy Valentine's Day! ~ Love, Annette
Six white & six red roses with a note that says I'm sure I utterly failed at surprising you with these, but this is just the start. Hope you don't have any allergies I don't know about. Love, G
Six pink roses with a note that says From Jack, because you always believe in me.
A pink rose with a note that says Thank you for being a lovely friend. So many good wishes to you. Happy Valentine's Day. ~Peter Pevensie
A yellow rose with a note that says Hey new big sis, I'd probably frak it up if I tried to say how much I appreciate everything, so I thought I'd say thanks with this. Anders
A pink rose with no note

After changing into some clothes suitable for sprawling, she booted up the laptop and put in her DVD of Wooing the Rock.

The door was open and there was candy for sharing.

"Cassie's," Peter said, facepalming again. "I was sitting next to her and I became small. My clothes didn't come with me."

"Oh! You were weetiny? That's just too cute!" Isabel grinned. "Too bad the bunnies weren't around."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Okay, next time I get powers I am not telling you," Peter said, but he was grinning.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Fine, I'll stop with the teasing. Maybe." Holding up the mouse, she raised an eyebrow. "Think you could do it again?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Can I try?" Peter asked. He looked from the toy to her and back again. "What do I do?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sure you can. And that's actually a good question." Isabel looked at the mouse and thought about how she's gotten it into her hand. "It sounds cheesy and new age? But just visualize it moving into your hand."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Got it," Peter said. He sat and concentrated, imagining the mouse floating up into the air and hovering in place. It didn't happen at first, but then it did exactly as he pictured. "Hey! How's that?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel moved her hand out from under the mouse and clapped. "That's excellent! Can you move it around?" she asked, interested in seeing exactly how much he could do.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Lemme see," Peter said. He concentrated until the mouse was dangling low enough to attract the eyes of a kitty. Then, when Annie went to pounce on it, he kept it out of the way so she could chase after it.

"You may be her new favorite person," Isabel laughed, before growing more serious. "How long will you be able to do that? Will you be able to do it after you leave?"

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter finally let the toy drop. "Far as I can tell it only lasts when I'm with the person. Once I leave I won't be able to do it anymore."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"That's good," she nodded. "Well not good because you'd probably like to keep the nifty powers always but good if you wind up with a power you don't know about. But just to be on the safe side? Promise me you won't fall asleep with your hand resting on any pictures of anyone." And that probably made no sense, Isabel realized.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Well I'll be giving up a lifelong habit but if it makes you happy..."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well you can keep doing it, but there's a chance you could wind up taking a trip inside someone's head. It's something else I can do," she explained with a shrug. "I call it dreamwalking. If I fall asleep while touching someone's picture? I wind up in their subconscious, and I can see what they're thinking about in their dreams."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Huh," Peter said, thoughtfully. "I wonder what'd happen if we tried that on each other at the same time. Maybe like the loud feedback sound that would come from touching Marie"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Thanks but no. I like keeping my head to myself. At least for now," Isabel said quickly. "You really don't want to know what my dreams are." Especially after everything that's gone on this week.

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter looked concerned. "Everything okay?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"It is," she said. "My dreams are just a weird combination of alien angst and amusing bits featuring the guys from Spooky Things." This week they just also feature a guest appearance by the Source of all Evil, but Isabel wasn't about to dump that on Peter. "You go in my head, you might wind up scarred for life."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"You need company in your head, I'm happy to be there for you," Peter said. "That's what friends do."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Thank you Peter," Isabel said sincerely. "You know, we're going to have to keep practicing. Because then we can just team up for the next invasion. Tossing trolls around is amazingly cathertic."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

Peter looked hopeful. "Really? You wouldn't mind?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Sure. It's fun. It's practice for me and it's also paying it forward in a way." She reached behind her and pulled her yearbook off the shelf, opening to a picture of Anakin at the prom. "That's Anakin. He could do a lot of stuff like I can. When I first came here, he helped me figure a few things out. Push my limits. So he helped me, I help you, and someday maybe you can help someone else."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"That would be amazing," Peter said. "Seriously. That's exactly the reason why I came here."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"What's funny is that I came here everything alien and weird. Funny how things work out," Isabel grinned. "But you're welcome to come by anytime. Besides, I still have a few more tricks to show you."

"They're not going to involve me being naked on a stairwell again, are they?" Peter asked with a grin.
