Room 406, evening

[izzyalienqueen]

A week that had included library duty, a night out at Caritas, movies with a friend, exams, and plotting a rescue mission meant that Isabel was pretty damn tired when she went to bed on Friday night. Unfortunately the conversation with Rikku brought memories and Isabel didn't actually get into a deep sleep until some time just before dawn. She slept till noon when the sound of yelling and chaos in the hallways woke her.

A quick look out her door found Isabel shutting it quickly. Beyond grateful to whatever quirk of Fandom left her still eighteen, she decided an afternoon with a good book was much better then weetiny chaos.

After a quiet afternoon, Isabel finally got out her camera and opened her door.

"Thanks," Peter said, coming on in. "You read my mind. I'm in the mood for an egg roll. Though if this is a Ching Tai meal does that mean I need to stand you up?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Heard about that have you?" she laughed. "Take-out doesn't count. Besides, if you make a move towards the door, I'll toss you against the wall and keep you there till the food comes."

"I better take a seat then," Peter said, doing just that. "I don't think I could outwit the kids with a concussion."

"No, probably not. They're devious," Isabel grinned. "How did finals go? And what did you think of Fandom's version of finals? Where any of yours literally life or death?"

"I think I did good with Superheroing and Conflict Management," Peter said. "Got my fingers crossed for Anatomy. You?"

"I did okay when I had to fight the witch for Villians. And we did handwaveily manage to escape from the smelly guys in Gods and You," she said. "Believe it or not, I'm most worried about the only tradional exam I had, the one for Survival Tactics."

"Multiple choice throw you for a loop?" Peter guessed.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Actually it was an essay on the outcome of a Manchester United game," Isabel explained. "In 2009."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"For Survival?" Peter asked. "I didn't know soccer was that crucial. Basketball maybe..."

"You and the Doctor can argue that out. The biggest thing I got out of that class? Wear comfortable shoes," she said seriously. "So you can run for your life."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes that's the best strategy," Peter said. "Live to fight another day. Or let somebody else do the fighting."

"Been there, done that, passed on the t-shirt," Isabel smiled wryly. "A persistant sheriff, the FBI, other aliens. Take your pick."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"How about just the one alien?" Peter replied with a grin.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She blinked for a minute then smiled. "You're brave."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"I like to think I can handle a challenge," Peter said.

Still a bit surprised, Isabel shook her head. "You just might." Anything else she might have said was interrupted by her phone ringing to announce the delivery guy was here. "I'll be right back," she promised.

Two minutes later she was, an overstuffed bag in her hand. "I hope you're hungry."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Starving." Peter reached for his wallet. "What do I owe you?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel rolled her eyes. "Stop that. My treat."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Sure?" Peter asked. He went to help her with the bags. "You're letting me hide out here."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Positive," she insisted. "Next time we can hide out in your room and you can send for pizza."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"It's a deal," Peter promised. "So where are the egg rolls in all this?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Possibly buried beneath the Lo Mein, and the Hot and Sour soup," Isabel replied as she set out the containers. "I always order a bunch and then live off it for the next few days. Or share it with whoever happens to be hiding out in my room at the time."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"So I'm not special? I'm hurt." Then, just to be smug, Peter copied Isabel's powers to get an eggroll out of a bag without using his hands.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I can tell you're just mortally wounded," she answered. Then smirked and stuck her tongue out at him as the egg roll went floating by. "Show off."

[repeterpetrelli.livejournal.com]

"Who, me?" Peter teased.
