Episode 112

[spongetastic]

I haven't heard from you. Where the hell are you? I will hunt down your ass, and kick it if you don't answer me.

If anybody sees a blonde British guy, let me know. He's probably hanging out at a bar or something.

Comments

[savethedarkness]

Might need a bit more description than that. I know at least two men who fit that bill.

[spongetastic]

Adam Monroe. He's a good friend and I'm worried about him.

[savethedarkness]

[her initial response is a hushed whisper that may as well be a muttered curse] Mr. Monroe.

[then, more firmly] We met aboard the Lewis and Clark. He's a good man. I'll keep a sharp eye. Your name, for if I should find him?

[spongetastic]

[she can't see it, but Peter is smiling. For someone to describe Adam as a good man... He wonders what Adam would think of that]

Peter Petrelli. Let me know if you hear from him, please.

[savethedarkness]

Petrelli. ... You're Phoebe's husband, then, if memory serves?

[spongetastic]

That's right. I'm guessing you met her on the Lewis & Clark, too. I asked her and Adam to stick together.

[savethedarkness]

I actually knew her before that, but yes, we worked together there. They were both very concerned about you, in particular. I'm glad you all made it back in one piece. That was a nasty bit of work for everyone involved...

[kungfuwitch]

Still nothing?

[spongetastic]

I'm glad we made it, too. ... Hope he made it this time, too.

[spongetastic]

I wrote him a note threatening to kick his ass. Haven't heard back yet.

[kungfuwitch]

[She chuckles]

That's certainly one way to do it. I

[spongetastic]

Hey, if it works.

[kungfuwitch]

I'll give you a hand. Maybe between the two of us we can smack some sense into him.

[spongetastic]

Hope so. With Helen and River both gone... I'm losing too many people again.

[savethedarkness]

I hope so, too. Cold comfort, I know, but... If it does turn out he's gone, perhaps he had the fortune of being lost in whatever shuffle brought us here. Like baggage missing a layover, if you'll pardon a horrid metaphor.

[spongetastic]

... You mean him going back home.

[savethedarkness]

[gently, without patronizing] It is a possibility to consider.

[spongetastic]

That means he... [that means he's dead. But it's hard to say that] We'll see.

[savethedarkness]

[she can guess quite well what he's not saying, and it surprises her. he'd told her he couldn't die....]. I'll have a look round for him, Peter.

[spongetastic]

Thank you. Just do me a favor and let me be the one to kick his ass for worrying us.

[savethedarkness]

I'd never presume to steal the honours.

[kungfuwitch]

I know, sweetheart...I know... [It's so hard. Each of them seem to go through stages of losing friends and loved ones all at once. All she could do was stand by his side and be there for him.]

Do you have anything of his? I could try scrying for him.

[spongetastic]

[he gives her a look, opening his mouth to speak. There is a stunned expression on his face]

I don't. There's nothing. The only thing of his I even know about is with Mary.

[kungfuwitch]

[She thinks about this for a moment before an idea hits her. A determined smile graces her lips]

Do you have anything of Mary's?

[spongetastic]

I do have something. It's something she gave me last time she was here. Could... [he doesn't want to hope, but he's hoping anyway] Could you really find her?

[kungfuwitch]

[Her determined smile cracks and falters]

I... I don't know. But I might be able to use it to find Adam.

[spongetastic]

Because she's Adam's daughter. I guess that kind of makes sense.

[kungfuwitch]

[She nods]

Exactly. We used Wyatt to find Leo once. It's possible.

[spongetastic]

[he unclips the bracelet he's wearing, offering it to her. It's a plain metal bracelet with a flower charm and two symbols: the infinity and a Japanese character]

See what you can get from this.

[kungfuwitch]

[She takes the bracelet, closing her eyes and holding it for a moment. Taking a breath she opens her eyes and moves to the table. She pulls out maps of the castle and grounds, laying them flat on the table. Picking up her crystal pendulum she holds it in the same hand as the bracelet, concentrating as she starts swinging it in small circles, passing it over the maps]

[spongetastic]

[he watches, trying to be cautiously hopeful. Of course there's every chance that the bracelet is going to channel him instead of Adam, but Phoebe's trying. He loves her for that]
