Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

The trip home to Roswell had quite possibly been even longer and more emotional then Isabel thought it would be. But she'd gotten through it and answered questions as best she could. Despite the worry that had Liz pale and silent and Maria frantic with panic, Isabel was still grateful that for once there were no more secrets. Her parents hadn't let her out of there sight for the day, they'd been upset by the years of deception, but in the end they'd understood that they were only trying to keep them safe.

They hadn't wanted her to come back to school though. It took a lot of talking and Isabel nearly breaking down before they'd finally agreed. Even then, she wasn't certain that believed all her reasons for wanting to go back. Apparently it was one thing to believe in aliens, but demons, wizards and time travellers were another story entirely. Fortunately that was when Bel turned up to bring her home. Isabel didn't think she'd ever forget the shocked expression on her mother's face as Bel took her hand and they started to shimmer away.

They reappeared in her room and Isabel let go of Bel's hand to collapse on her bed, worn out by the day.

"No. You're going to go with Phoebe and have live your life," Isabel said firmly. "Antar's our problem. And I'm not going to let anyone else put themselves at risk to deal with it."

"You think people let me get away with saying that about the things I had to deal with from the Underworld?" Bel pointed out. He sighed and ran his hand through his hair. "Look, I just don't want to see you get hurt."

"I know. I think we had the same argument at one point," she sighed. "As for being hurt. It can't get much worse then the time I already spent there. And I've survived." Mostly.

"Still, no reason to refuse help from people who want to kick ass on your behalf," Bel insisted.

"If it was a simple as busting in someplace to kick ass and take names, I'd be having sign-ups in the lobby," Isabel replied. "But it's a planet-wide war that's been going on for over sixty years. This is isn't something that's going to be solved in time to be back for classes after the weekend. It's going to take years. Do you really want to commit to that?"

"Point," Bel said. "But you know if you need me I'll be there, right?"

"I know. And that means more then you can possibly imagine," she said with a small smile.

[demonbelthazor]

"Anytime," Bel said. "I better get going now. I need to pass out soon should see how Phoebe's doing."

Isabel nodded, "Tell her I said hi. And thanks for the lift. I appreciated it."

"Anytime," Bel said again with a grin. "The Cosmic Taxi is back in business. I'll catch you later."

"Night Bel," she said. "See you in class tomorrow."

Isabel watched the door shut then closed her eyes. It had been way too long a day.
