Room 406, early afternoon

Even though she'd only been gone a week Fandom time, Isabel was cleaning her room like it really had been left closed up for six months. Reorganizing drawers and closets, scouring the bathroom, dusting every available surface, meant she didn't have to think about last night's conversation, or the worried voicemails and emails from her parents she's avoiding answering. It meant she could pretend she wasn't woken up by nightmares this morning.

The door was open, the radio was blaring the Rolling Stones, and Isabel was on her hands and knees in the bathroom, attacking the grout with a toothbrush.

"I'm definitely counting it in the 'good thing' column," Bridge agrees.

"Anything I can do to help?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Convince him worrying so much about the age difference is stupid?" Bridge asks with a shrug.

"I will do my best," Isabel nodded. "I haven't been down to see him yet. But I'll definitely be down there this week. I'll start then."

"Make sure he doesn't get in to trouble or anything while I'm gone," Bridge says solemnly.

"Gone?" she asked quietly.

"Z and I got a message from home yesterday," Bridge explains. "Our boss found someone to be the last member of our team. So we've got a full roster now."

Isabel swallowed hard, "So you're leaving? For good?"

"I don't *think* so," Bridge says. "The message didn't go in to a lot of detail? But he also didn't say 'pack up everything you own', so. I'm hoping that means he still thinks we've got stuff we need to learn here."

"You do. Absolutely," Isabel nodded. "Tell him I said that. We need you here."

"Glad you think so," Bridge says with a shy grin.

"Why wouldn't I?" She waved him over to sit on the bed. "Come eat cupcakes with me. I missed sweet stuff in the worse way."
