The Park, Late Tuesday Evening

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt took a brief break from the town hall clinic, needing both a breath of fresh air and wanting to see if he could get word to someone outside the island about what was going on. He and Isabel walked over to the park. "I'll be back in five minutes," he said, giving her a quick kiss.

He concentrated and tried to orb to the mainland. As per usual, his body changed into a cluster of blue glowing orbs, which zoomed upward to arc toward his destination. Except that he was suddenly stopped by an invisible barrier. The orb cloud richoceted back and forth over the park for several moments before finally crashing to the ground near where he had started. Wyatt reformed, sprawled on his back in the grass, looking around, dazed.

Ouch.


[For izzyalienqueen and anyone who wants to see the unfortunate Whitelighter, but they are heading back to the clinic post haste.]

Isabel wasn't sure what she was hoping for, but she was pretty sure that wasn't it. She dropped to the ground next to Wyatt and started to check him over for injuries. "Well that wasn't good."

[blessed_twice]

"Ow," he said, rubbing his head. "That wasn't supposed to happen."

"No, but given the calls not going through, I can't say I'm surprised." She reached out and pushed his hair back. "It looks like we're on our own."

[blessed_twice]

"Damn," Wyatt muttered, trying to struggle to his feet. "This isn't just a nasty flu. Something's keeping us trapped here."

Isabel helped him up and slipped an arm around his waist. "More then likely. I just wish it was something we could hit."

[blessed_twice]

"Yeah, me too," Wyatt sighed, slipping his own arm around Isabel. "Well, so much for that. I guess we should head back."

"Probably a good idea. You can yell at Peter for me," she told him. "He came in with Ronan yesterday afternoon and hasn't left yet."

[blessed_twice]

"He's gonna get sick, too," Wyatt said, frowning.

"If he doesn't rest, yes, he will," Isabel agreed. "We might need to just bodily drag him out of here when your shift is over."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt nodded. "Kicking and screaming if we need to."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She could imagine how well that would go over. "It's a plan. But for now? Back to the hospital such as it is?"

[blessed_twice]

"Yeah," Wyatt said, taking her hand. "I just hope we haven't gotten 10 more patients while we were gone."

"And if they have, we'll deal," Isabel said, lacing her fingers through his.

She snickered as a completely random thought drifted through her head. "It's a hell of a way to play doctor and his faithful nurse."

[blessed_twice]

"Got a nurse outfit to go with the maid one?" Wyatt said with a grin as they walked.

"No, but I might have to get one," she teased, enjoying the few moments of silliness and knowing they'd be over the moment they got back to Town Hall.

[blessed_twice]

"Or we could play doctor and patient," Wyatt said. "Ms. Evans, I think you need a full examination."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You've been watching Hearts & Scapels haven't you?" Isabel laughed. "I never understood why someone would need a full exam just for a sore throat."

[blessed_twice]

"I don't know, Doctor Troy seems like the type to do that kind of thing," Wyatt mused.

"I don't know him other then as a Bel look-a-like," Isabel admitted. "Hearing that? Makes me glad I don't."

[blessed_twice]

"Yeah, that kind of freaked me out the first time I met him," Wyatt said. "Though, you know, not as much as meeting my not-so-dead uncle and finding out he was a demon."

"I can't even imagine," she nodded. It was cool out, that was the only reason she leaned closer as they walked. "And then there were various aunts, and a version of mom. You coped well."

[blessed_twice]

"This place wasn't what I expected," Wyatt agreed. He stopped for a moment outside town hall and pulled Isabel against him. "But I'm glad I came."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Me to," Isabel admitted quietly, holding on tightly and trying to draw some strength to face what was most likely going to be a long night. "Me to."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt squeezed her tight, then reluctantly pulled away. "All right," he said. "Let's go back in."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She didn't want to let go, but knew Wyatt was right. "Be careful okay? Even if you can heal, I don't want to see you deal with this."

[blessed_twice]

"I will, promise," Wyatt said, giving Isabel a tender kiss before they headed back into the building.
