[ Melissa is not in her scrubs this time, but her civvies, and she’s smirking quietly to herself. The memory of Scott closing the door in his father’s face is one that she’ll treasure for a very long time. ]

Hello? Scott McCall and I are back again. I think we just took a year off the poor worker’s life, the guy doing the drywall in the clinic? Yeah, not pretty. I’ve never seen a saw bounce before. Hope I never see it again.

[ And, sure enough, there’s a very loud buzzing just off camera. Apparently the worker heard that. Oops.

Into the feed, a wild Scott McCall appears! Just his head, anyway, leaning down into it beside his mother’s. ]

But, he’s fine, he’s fine! [ He looks off screen.. ] Nobody was injured. [ He looks back. ] Sorry to anybody if we had plans. But, we’re back now and we’re not planning on going anywhere. [ Unless everyone else gets out with them.

Melissa pokes her head back into frame again.]

Oh! And Lydia? Tell me you fed the cat? I mean...how long have we been gone, after all? Ziggy wasn’t too much of problem, was he?

[ Scott is about to say something else, but he notices something offscreen. ] No way. [ And he slides out of frame leaving Melissa to take the reins. Offscreen… ] Cool.

...Okay. Just a note to say we’re back. Stiles, Isaac, Derek? Are you all okay?

[ And Scott is back. ]

You’re still here, right? [ Scott brings it closer, fiddling and then soon, the feed is private! ]

derek ]

Thanks. [ To his mom. To the device... ] I think I’m all caught up. Sorry if you came by Monday night. The City thought we didn’t need to talk. But, we still should.

isaac ]
We will hang out this weekend.

[ Fiddling with it again, Scott adjusts to make the feed public once more ]

public ]

So, that’s what leaving is like. We had no clue we were here. And then we were just… back. If anybody needs us, we’ll be back at the apartment in a couple of minutes. Angela, I’ll be in to work tomorrow. [ A beat before he adds ] Has anybody heard from Wally?

[ ooc: Replies will be coming from both Scott and Melissa! ]

Text?! From Wally?!

[fastest_dude_ever]

Dear Scott,

I am writing this from my jail cell with my own bodily fluids. It is awful here. I have taken to eating rats to survive. Horrified by my savage nature, they have crowned me their king. My advisor, Scrabblefoot, and I are currently devising a plan for my escape.

Just kidding! I'm fine, but yeah, it does suck here. Smells like feet. Tell your mom I said hey! I think I met her once. She thought I had a weird fetish. Hope I still have my job when I come back!

Xoxo,
Wally West, Rat King

P.S. You threw out that milk, right?

Suc le bleu!

[affectioning]

What fetish did she think you have? Maybe, I don't want to know.

Of course you have a job! You left a really great schedule. The guys kept working while I was gone. It's coming along. I couldn't do this without you.

P.S. You asked me to.

LE POISSON LE POISSON HEE HEE HEE HA HA HA.

[fastest_dude_ever]

You don't want to know. And she was totally nonjudgmental about it, so she seems really cool.

I do my best, dude. Make sure they don't mess up the light fixtures.

P.S. That means yes, right?

P.S.S. How's Rapunzel doing? Have you seen her?

SHA LA LA LA LA LA MY OH MY

[affectioning]

She is cool. Yeah, I don't.

I will.

P.S. Duh.

P.S.S. Why? Oh, you went on a date. I remember. I honestly don't know. I can check for you.

PRIVATE ; HE TOTALLY KISSED THE GIRL.

[fastest_dude_ever]

What was it like, going home? Was everything the same?

And yeah, I did. I have a thing for her. Duh.

PRIVATE ; so did Scott and Scott was a pirate. now he's an alpha. scott wins. no contest

[affectioning]

Would it be different? Everything was pretty much the same. But, things got better, too. Not that they were all that bad. But sometimes things are.

A thing? How big of a thing?

PRIVATE ; Nah, dog. Flash can make himself vibrate.

[fastest_dude_ever]

Way to be vague. What I'm asking is if time really didn't pass in your world like people say it doesn't.

And it's kind of a big thing.

PRIVATE ; Nah, dog. Flash can make himself vibrate.

[affectioning]

No time passed. And nobody knew I was gone. Not even me. It's true. We forget everything when we leave.

Really? Awesome. Have you told her?

PRIVATE ; Flash is so happy his world won't fall apart without him.

[fastest_dude_ever]

That's good. Sad that you forgot about me, though.

I think she knows. You think I should actually say it?

PRIVATE ; It won't!

[affectioning]

Sorry. I couldn't help it. If I had the choice, I wouldn't have. Have I thanked you yet for everything you've done so far?

... Yeah. If you feel it and want her to know. Tell her.
