Did you really think I was dead? I thought maybe you were in a different dormitory down here. I'm in like this simulation from the past, thanks to Judas, this AI? He used what connects our brains. A lot of us are in here, but not just people who were Displaced, like everyone in New Amsterdam?
No. I mean, I was just afraid because I couldn't find you and New Amsterdam is kind of like not there. Least we can't see it or get there and the military pulled out and it's kind of really nuts.
I wasn't there. I had taken one of those travel things. I thought I was just going for a day and I ended up in New Tokyo. We had new arrivals like us here. They released some of them without the implants even.
Actually, it's kind of cool. Wish you were here with me. It would be a lot better if I wasn't watch the sky news all the time.
No one we know. Not that I've seen. I've met a few of them and helped them like others helped when we got here.
I'm glad you're okay. I've been thinking about you this whole time. They're working on trying to find a way to fix things. Well fix them back to what they were.
Anything's better than where we are now. They're like these internment camps and we're all living underground. They assign us to these jobs every day. Isaac, I'm an untrained medic. Luckily, nobody's come in needing anything other than stitches, but, I don't even want to think about it.
They're lucky they're getting help from you. Are you keeping your attitude in check?
( It's the alpha in him that remembers slamming each other against walls, Isaac going after the twins, Isaac basically flying off a werewolf handle.
He was young then, too, but he's older now. He has to ask. )
What? What the hell?! That's how things were here? Damn. Hey. I'd come to you if I needed medical help. Which lets be real, I'll need eventually.
[ He knows Scott has reason to worry. He knows the person he's been and even without the ability to shift, he still feels that anger. Like when he first realized he couldn't communicate with Scott. ]
I figured someone else helped me, I should try.
Mostly. I let someone do that whole connection thing and I really don't like that so been trying not to sleep so that doesn't happen. But I'm okay.
You're glowing? You figured out what they did to you? The new power thing? I haven't had that. I just felt his emotions. All calm and seriously are people that calm? Other people?
[ And those were words he needed to hear, even before he realized he needed to hear them. No, not just hear them. He needed to hear them from Scott.]
If they need my help, I will. Scott, it's not just for you. It's for everyone trapped, especially knowing what it's like in there.
Hey, I have better hair than a Yorkie but I have to say it. You think I'm cuuuuute.
[It felt normal, the kind of snarky comments between and he's glad for it. He can almost see Scott's face in his mind's eye as he'd look right then. ]
No, I'm not, I thought that's what you meant by the connection thing. When we make skin to skin contact. None of us have a power in here. It's being suppressed, or it's not real in the simulation so it's not real.
It shouldn't be, just for me. We're all going to get out of here. And in the mean time you're helping new people. I like that.
Yeah, so what if I think that. Haven't you always been cute?
Right. I kind of didn't notice it. It's hard imagining what all people could see in me, you know? So I was kinda nervous. Why I've been kind of avoiding people and that.
I just thought what would Scott do.
Oh I'm positively adorable. Just not everyone notices that.
[There isn't a text back right away. He's working hard not to as he thinks over that, not wanting to send back things he shouldn't say. Because he's still blending older Scott in his head with how he'd left things in Beacon Hills. Except he hadn't left, and now he's here. With Scott. ]
Huh. Well good then. Also apparently easily distracted because my looks are not the point. Sorry.
If you hear of anything I can do to help, I'm here for you.
Be there for them, too. I know you're here for me.
I'm not distracted, Isaac. This is multitasking. Also, you're the one who zeroed in on the cute comment. Is there something you need to tell me, Isaac? Do you lo-oooove me?

[Shit he didn't mean to think that.]
Nevermind. Ignore that. Are you okay?

Are you in here?

...Not the time. Is anyone from the pack there? Anyone we know?
You're okay? I'm okay. Just. Stuck.

You didn't just try. You helped. You make me proud.
Also, please don't do something that makes you need medical help. And not from me. You're not a cute Yorkie. You're cute, but I'm not Isaac-equipped.
