Room 226, Wednesday night

[blessed_twice]

After orbing himself, Isabel, Michael, and Ronan from the beach, and after Ronan and Michael had left them, Wyatt shut the door behind them and walked across the room. He put his hands on Isabel's arms. "Hey," he said softly. "How are you doing?"

"Wyatt..." But there wasn't much she could say. If it had been him. Or Max or Michael, she would have felt the same.

[blessed_twice]

He hugged her tightly. "I'm okay," he said. "And you're okay." He gave her a concerned look. "You are okay, right? Do we need to do anything to get her out of you completely?"

"I don't know. She's quiet now," Isabel told him. "But I think maybe I should talk to Bridge? Maybe he can tell if she's really gone."

[blessed_twice]

"Definitely," Wyatt said. "I want to make sure she's totally gone. I just want you in there."

"I just want me in here," she agreed. "Even if I feel like I hijacked her body."

[blessed_twice]

"But you're you," Wyatt said, running his hand along her side. "You look like you. You feel like you."

"I know. But this was her. I didn't heal her. I changed her. To me," Isabel said slowly. "And somehow sent myself along for the ride. Hello alien weirdness. But I guess it's a good thing I did because otherwise..." That was something she didn't want to think about.

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt didn't want to think about it, either. So instead he put his hand under her chin and tilted her head up, then brought his lips down on hers.

Isabel returned the kiss softly for a long moment before pulling away and resting her head on Wyatt's shoulder. "Just hold me?"

[blessed_twice]

"Nothing I want more," Wyatt murmured, more than content to just lay there and hold her.

"He's dead," she said finally.

[blessed_twice]

"Who's dead?" Wyatt said. "The guy who did this?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel nodded. "I think, I killed him."

[blessed_twice]

"Good," was Wyatt's first reaction. Even though he wanted to do it himself.

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. I don't know," she said carefully. "He loved her. He wanted to save her."

[blessed_twice]

"He could've asked you to heal her," Wyatt pointed out. "He didn't have to kidnap you and Meg."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"He could have," Isabel agreed, reaching for his hand. "But he didn't. I don't think he was entirely rationale at the end. He wanted her to kill you. You and Michael, Peter. All the people I loved. I think he thought if she did that, I'd give up."

[blessed_twice]

Wyatt laced his fingers with hers and squeezed her hand. "But you couldn't," he said softly. "Because you were stronger than her."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You made me strong," she replied. "What you said. I won't forget that."

[blessed_twice]

"Meant every word," Wyatt said. "I love you."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel turned her head for another kiss. "Love you too. So much."

[blessed_twice]

"I would've found a way to bring you back," Wyatt said fiercely. "No matter what."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"No. Not no matter what," she said. "I don't know much about magic. But I do know that'd be wrong. You can't."

[blessed_twice]

"I don't care," Wyatt said. "I wasn't going to lose you. Not if there was anything I could do."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You need to care," Isabel replied. "Because what if you'd brought me back? But there were consequences for you? How do you think I'd feel?"
