Pixie Dust, all day

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

After getting orbed over to get her car and bring it back to the island, Isabel was only a few minutes late opening the store.







She settled in behind the counter with her coffee and a copy of Cosmo, determined to have a quiet day.

Talk to Isabel - 1/31

Michael listened to the radio podcast.

Michael was now flying into the store to check on his sister.

Isabel looked up when Michael came in and immediately facepalmed. "I'm so sorry, I should have called you before you heard radio."

"Would've been nice", he agreed, carefully calm. "Would've been nicer if Wyatt'd taken five minutes to find me when it was going on."

"The name of the game was subtle," she explained. "The concerned boyfriend, the friend slash blood donor, and the semi-official school representative that was able to move through the hospital and look like he belonged there. Anyone more then that? It draws too much attention. This way I was just one more accident victim and I doubt anyone would remember me today."

"The concerned brother would've pushed it too far?" he asked, unconvinced. "Then he still could've told me."

Not that Isabel wasn't thrilled that Michael was there in Fandom? It just made her appreciate the last two years free of super-concerned brothers that much more. It was a lot easier to listen to them worry when they were on the other end of the phone line.

"No. Probably not," Isabel admitted. "But he was moving fast, trying to get there. He knew I was scared."

"And so was I, this morning", he said quietly.

He was getting the creeping suspicion she hadn't even thought of him.

"I'm sorry," she said sincerely. "After two years I guess I'm just used to not having to check in with family. At least not till I'm ready. I have to remember now that you're here and are going to worry."

Re: Talk to Isabel - 1/31

"Yeah, you do", he told her, not caving yet. "I don't... don't you forget about me, Izzy."

And that made Isabel heart break just a little as she remembered that this Michael didn't have anyone else. No Maria, no Amy, no Kyle to tease. "Oh Michael," she said, moving to give him a hug. "I promise. I won't. I couldn't."

"Hey!" Meg said when she came into the store. She had also heard the broadcast. "Are you all right?"

Re: Talk to Isabel - 1/31

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I'm just fine," Isabel promised with a happy smile. "Wyatt did his thing. Which is great because gauze and bandages? Definitely a fashion don't."

Re: Talk to Isabel - 1/31

Meg gave a relieved smile. "Good. Very, very good. I don't think I can take anyone else I care about getting hurt this week."

"Yeah, this has been a pretty rough week," she agreed. "I think we all need to let some steam off on Saturday. And maybe one day next week, you and I can make a real trip to the spa. I need quality time with Sven."

"I could definitely use a massage," Meg said, nodding. "So what happened yesterday? Radio was kind of vague on the details."

Re: Talk to Isabel - 1/31

"I'd gone shopping at the mall in Alexandria for Wyatt's birthday presents. I was on my way back to my car when some woman reached down to answer her cell phone as she was driving through the parking lot," Isabel explained with an eye roll. "She inadvertently veered over and hit me. I went flying and wound with a big gash on my head and some banged up ribs. I could have dealt with that except they took me to the hospital and took blood. My blood? Isn't exactly normal."

Re: Talk to Isabel - 1/31

"Oh, I get it. That's why you needed Lana," Meg said. She had been confused about the whole blood thing on the radio.

Re: Talk to Isabel - 1/31

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Exactly. Dr. Wilson took blood from Lana and then, when he got to the hospital, managed to get into the lab and substitute it for what they took from me." She shook her head and leaned her arms on the counter. "Fortunately it was a lot easier here because Lana knew why. When we had to do this for my brother back in Roswell? It was a little more complicated."

"I can imagine," Meg said. Even though she couldn't, really. That was the crappy thing about being one of the few normal people in this town. "I'm glad the calvary acted fast."

Re: Talk to Isabel - 1/31

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"I think the calvary," meaning Wyatt, "was ready to orb directly into the ER, grab me, and then orb right back out," Isabel told her. "Obviously not the most practical of plans, but I have to appreciate the sentiment."
