Room 406, later in the evening

[izzyalienqueen]

Isabel stretched out on her bed, trying to focus on the good parts of her day. Talking with Mel in Hunting had been fun, and it was good to know they had a plan for getting Lucas and Katara back. Glancing about the room, Isabel grinned when she saw her jacket hanging on the back of her desk chair glad it was back to it's normal black.

Of course the jacket made her think of the beach and meeting Kivar, definitely not a happy thought. Isabel closed her eyes and tried to figure out what it all meant.

The door was closed.

[For Jack and SP is love.]

There was only one person left to show off his new-healedness to, which was why Jack was currently knocking on Isabel's door.

"It's open," Isabel called, sitting up and flipping on the light.

Jack pushed the door open and looked apologetic when he saw her sitting on the bed. "Were you asleep?" he asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No. Just thinking," she said, automatically sliding over to leave room for Jack to sit. "How are you?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

He sat next to her and gave her one armed hug - his left arm - puling her against him. "Healed, for a start. See?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel hugged him back with both arms. "That's wonderful! Who did it for you?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Katara," he said, smiling gleefully. "She may be my new favourite person. I ran into her at the beach and she refused to let me leave without healing me."

"The beach is a popular place," she said, thinking of Kivar. "That would be before she got sucked into the portal with Lucas then?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"What?" Jack had missed the radio the last couple of nights. He'd been preoccupied with other activities. "Is she okay?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"For the moment, yes. Right now they're trapped about 200 years in the past. A bunch of us are going to get them back tomorrow night," Isabel replied.

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"200 years in the--" Jack shook his head. "Time travel, gotta love it," he said on a laugh. "If you need help, grab me. I owe Katara, seriously owe her."

"It's going to be interesting, I have no doubt. Especially since it's Fandom." She rested her head on Jack's shoulder. "I think we're covered for the moment. But would you be willing to be the rescue party for the rescue party? If I don't call you by Friday morning will you get the calvary?"

Jack twisted sideways so he could hug her properly. "You don't come back and we'll be coming after you, with horses and everything."

"My hero," Isabel teased. "So what else has been going on? Anything fun and exciting?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"I don't know about fun and exciting, but it's been interesting. Sam still loves me, even though I'm an idiot." He smiled dopily and twined his fingers through Isabel's. "Jarod and me sort-of called a truce, and I'm taking River out for dinner and dancing next week, to try and cheer her up."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but you're her idiot. That's what matters," she laughed. She thought about telling him what she did to Kawalsky but figured it was probably better not to mention it and let the whole situation die. "What prompted the truce with Jarod? And how come I never get offers of dinner and dancing?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's what she said." Jack shook his head and squeezed her hand. "If Greg breaks up with you, you'll get dinner and dancing," he promised. "Or any other time, actually, whenever you want."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Well since that's not happening, we might have to make alternate plans. I still haven't been to that other place. We should get people and go one night," Isabel said. "Next week is break. Maybe then."

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

"Sounds good to me. I never did get a birthday, maybe we could do something for that." Jack kicked off his shoes and made himself comfortable, obviously settling in for a long stay. "For right now, I want some Izzy time." He grinned. "Movie? We never did watch that one you put on the other night."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel laughed and went to get the laptop. "We can do that. I can use some Jack time of my own."

A few minutes later, the laptop was opened, the movie was running, and Isabel was contentedly stretched out, Jack's arm around her.

Life was good and any worries about visiting ex-lovers could wait till the morning.
