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.

Sam mastered her expression, but again, not the blush. "What?"

"Nevermind," Isabel chuckled. "Any answer would probably be getting into TMI territory."

"It's Jack," Sam grinned, "What else would it be. But enough about that. Did you say Captain Jack brought you back here? How's he doing?"

"He did," she nodded. "He's doing well. He was very kind."

Sam wasn't so sure that was doing well for Captain Jack. Very kind wasn't really his personality. "And he took care of you when you landed?"

"I didn't land so much as fall. Did you know there's a rift through space and time that runs through Cardiff?" Isabel asked. "I sort of fell through it."

Sam winced. She hadn't known about the rift, and was torn between wanting to call the SGC to warn them and wanting to call Captain Jack and interrogate him. "Are you alright? That can't have been an easy landing."

"I was out cold. He found me and brought me back to his office," she shrugged. "I woke up and found myself on a comfy couch, covered with a blanket."

"Do you have any idea how far through space and time you fell?" She reached over and hugged Isabel again.

"I have no idea about space but time-wise?" Isabel sighed, "About six months."

"That long?" Sam asked, maybe more startled than she should have been. "Was it bad?"

"It was. But it's over now. Mostly." Or at least it would be when she finally got rid of the tattoo. "I think I just need a little more time to process it."

"If you need an ear, someone who's been there, so you can work it out, I'm around," she offered.

"Thanks," Isabel smiled. "I've had similar offers from Jack, Parker and Cedric. It's one of the things I missed most about being here. My friends."

"They are incredible people," Sam said with a smile back, but added reluctantly, "but I mean...I've been through war. I've been held prisoner and tortured. I've led people to their deaths. If you need to talk about that."

"I figured as much. But right now? I've got a lovely raft and am enjoying the sunshine here on the River Denial," Isabel said with a wry smile. "I know it's probably not the healthiest thing to do. But it's the easiest right now."

"Alright then, fair enough," Sam chuckled, willing to allow Isabel a spot in the river, "but you should have sunscreen, or you'll burn like a piece of bacon."

"Yes mom," she sighed with a put upon air. "But seriously, I do appreciate the offer. And at some point I will take you up on it. Hopefully when you're less sneezy though."

Sam rolled her eyes. "I used to be stronger than this, I swear." Or she ignored it and kept working in her lab and going out on missions, which was almost the same thing. "And good. I know it's tough, and, well, sometimes I'm awake when I shouldn't be."

Date: 2007-03-12 08:43 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com
"I'll keep that in mind," Isabel nodded. "And come looking for your light at three in the morning."

"Sounds good," she coughed, then sneezed twice. "Excuse me. And yeah, I'm gonna go, before Jack finds me out of bed and forces more soup and juice on me. I swear, he's so fussy."

"You should go rest. And get better by Thursday. Parker and I are going to Theodoric's if you want to come along," she offered.

"I will hopefully be better by then, but that's when my classes are, so it depends on the time," Sam shrugged, "Thank you for the invitation, though."

"After classes, for that reason," Isabel said. "So go rest and get better so you can come!"

"That's quite an incentive," Sam said, waving as she waked out, "and I'll do my best."
