Room 406, Friday morning through afternoon

[izzyalienqueen]

It had been a long, wet walk back up from the causeway and Isabel was grateful to get out of the rain by the time the reached the dorms. Her key was gone, left somewhere back on Antar, so she used her powers to open the door. Stepping inside the room, Isabel looked around and blinked a lot, not quite able to believe she was really back.


[Later that night, Jack came by.

Peter was beginning to worry about this flood thing. On the off-chance that things got really bad and some of Isabel's stuff was left behind and got damaged, Peter decided to head up and see if there was anything able to be damaged. You know, just in case Isabel returned.

Imagine his surprise...

"I'm not disappointed that you're back by any stretch of the imagination, but you have to quit faking me out like this," he said when he entered the room.

Isabel had to take a minute to remind herself that this was real and not another one of Kivar's mind games. "Hi Peter," she said, getting to her feet. "I just got back this morning."

"Good, because I'd hate to find out that you were around for longer and just didn't call," Peter said, walking over and reaching for a hug. "Um, probably should have checked this first, but is everything okay?"

She returned the hug, trying to think of an answer that wouldn't result in a bunch of questions she wasn't ready to answer. "It's okay. Really." Okay, so lying was one way to do it.

For some reason that answer rang false, but Peter got the impression that she didn't want to talk about it. "You know, we've been getting this rain just about since you left. I was thinking that maybe the island missed you. But since it's still pouring, I think it was just me."

"Trust me, I missed you guys to. More then you can imagine." Looking out the window, Isabel boggled a bit. "I half expected to see the animals lining up two by two when we walked back here this morning. On this island I wouldn't be surprised."

"If it were yesterday, that would have been flawed. Most of the guys around here turned into girls," Peter said. "So the whole reason behind the two animals would have been pointless."

"I heard about that," she snickered. "Where you a victim? Or did you get to mock?"

"I got to see Zero get protective of me around all of the girls since I was one of the few boy boys around," Peter said. "That's an ego boost, let me tell you."

"I can only imagine," Isabel said, shaking her head. "I haven't had a chance to listen to radio yet. But I'm willing to bet money there was girlkissy?"

"Not around me," Peter said, "but I assume there was plenty somewhere."

"It wouldn't be Fandom if it wasn't. So other then endless rain and an excess of estrogen, did I miss anything?" she asked. "No weetiny people? No invasions?"

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Just that and the excessive rain," Peter said. "And returning to classes, which was fun as always."

"Yeah, I'll have to see about making up everything I missed this week. Joy. Still," Isabel said, "It's good to be home."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"And it's good to have you back," Peter said.

"You just didn't want to run the next game night on your own," she teased.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Well, that too," Peter joked.

Briefly Isabel wondered how she could go from battling for her life a bit more then twenty four hours earlier to joking about game night. Shaking her head, she decided it was better to just not think about it. "We're going to have to start planning. There's not too much time left."

"Twister. Scrabble. Pong. Any other thoughts?" Peter asked.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Twister could be an option. But let me think about it. My brain is just a wee bit fried with a serious case of jet lag the moment."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Not a problem," Peter said. "I think I'll let your mind unfry a bit and head back to my room. But, seriously, I'm glad you're back."

"I napped a bit earlier, but I need some serious sleep time." Not that she was actually going to get any, but she could try. "And I'm seriously glad to be back. Trust me."
