The Library - 10/24

Isabel opened the library on time. In honor of the season, this morning's breakfast was a pumpkin latte and an apple cider doughnut.

"They wouldn't recognize that in the Underworld," Bel said, looking down. "It wouldn't change anything. They'll always have a claim on me. Always."

She frowned, recognizing flaws in the plan. "What claim? Just because they say so?"

"The Brotherhood serves the Source for life," Bel said. "I don't know if there's anywhere I can run that they won't find me. They won't just get bored and give up. I was safe when they thought I was dead, but now...."

"But now...They know you're not." Isabel reached across the table to squeeze his arm gently. "I'm drawing a blank right now but I'll keep thinking. There has to be something that can be done."

Bel nodded, patting her hand on his arm. "I hope so. I don't want to go back to that life."

"If you even think about it, you know I'm going to have to kick your ass," Isabel said, nodding seriously.

Bel smiled a little. "There's a line of Halliwells and Winchesters you'll have to get through first," he said. "Among others."

"Nope, we're going to set up the line alphabetically. Evans would come before Halliwell and Winchester. So I'm up first." Isabel walked around the counter to stand next to Bel. "I sorry I don't have any answers. Can I offer a hug instead? It's the best I can do at the moment."

"That's just as good," Bel said, holding out his arms. "But be gentle with me."

Isabel hugged him very carefully. "If Max hadn't immediately gone off the deep end I would have asked him to fix that for you. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance, what with the yelling and the storming off."

"It's okay, I heal fast," Bel said, hugging her back. "Just gotta take it easy for a few days. No getting thrown into walls, no getting hit by lightning bolts."

"I don't know, is that actually possible?" Isabel asked, stepping back and smiling at him. "Because you haven't been having the best time of it lately. Maybe if I lock you in your room?"

"You forget, I can shimmer out," Bel said, grinning.

"But you wouldn't. Because then I would be sad. You wouldn't want me to be sad would you?" Isabel asked, pouting just a bit.

"Not the pout again!" Bel protested.

"It's my secret weapon," she chuckled. "Who needs alien fu?"

"It's deadly," Bel said solemnly. "It should be registered with the school."

"I'll keep that in mind the next time the Mountie is doing a weapons check," Isabel grinned.

"Is there a way to remove the pout and stuff it in a locked closet?" Bel said dubiously.

"Unfortunately for you, no. Well unless you want to lock both me and my pout in the closet," she snickered. "And if you do, you'd better make sure I have good company."

"Could arrange for your boyfriend to be tossed in there with you," Bel said, thoughtfully rubbing his chin.

"That wouldn't be such a bad thing," Isabel said, smiling brightly. "It's hard to believe it'll be five months next week."

"That long already?" Bel said. "Wow -- how'd your brother like him?"

"Tell me about it. It seems like only yesterday I turned around at the meet and greet for the summer students and he was smiling at me." Isabel rolled her eyes, "He was a little boggled about the fact that 'you're dating a geek with weird hair'. It took a while before he got the point that he made me happy."

"He'd better," Bel said. "Or I'll kick his ass."
