walks_two_paths: (Shocked and Broken)
Savannah hadn't returned to the Lighthouse after it was deemed safe for all of the refugees to leave the safety of Special Collections. There was the whole thing where she wanted to give Sean and Annja some privacy for their reunion. She'd hated seeing her brother looking so haunted and numb after he lost his wife, and she had been powerless to help him. The least she could do is give them some privacy.

She could see people all around her running about and being happy that they were alive again or excited because they had found out that people they loved were coming back into existence.

It was just like she had told Isabel, the people on the island were always brought back because those were the rules. By her logic, anyway.

God, she was exhausted, mentally and physically.

She wandered down to the beach to climb up onto one of the rocks. She needed some time to get her emotions back under control before she could go anywhere. She wasn't going to ask Wyatt to orb her to New York, because if everything she loved was still gone, she didn't know how she was going to be able to deal with it. Besides, Isabel and Wyatt had loved ones that they needed to check on, as well.

When she heard her phone ringing in her bag, she was almost afraid to answer it.

"I love you, too." That was probably a lot more teary than he would have liked to hear from her. Savannah swallowed. "Johnny, love, you've been missing for a few weeks. What is the last thing that you remember?"

"We were trying to save a planet," Johnny said, thinking for a second. "There was this darkness that was eating everything."

His protective instincts were kicking in, but he pushed them down for the moment in favor of saying, "Tell me what's going on, Savannah. Please?"

Date: 2011-12-12 05:17 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
Savannah knew that she wasn't helping his protective instincts, but it had been a hard few weeks and an even harder couple of days.

"Long story short. The world was ending ... being wiped out and people were being erased from memory, time and space. The only safe place was Fandom and Wyatt rescued me and brought me here. Then, Fandom was attacked and the only safe place was the school, and then finally Special Collections in the library. But ... we fixed. We were able to bring everyone and everything back." A sob escaped her. "I thought I was never going to see you again."

Yes, Johnny, your girl had just gone through hell.

"It sounds to me like you and I deserve some time alone, then," Johnny said, his voice low and soothing. "I give a mean cuddle, you know that."

Their cuddling tended to devolve into sex, but it wouldn't this time. He knew she needed the reassurance more than she needed anything else.

Date: 2011-12-12 05:33 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
Tears started sliding down Savanah's face as her hand tightened on the phone. "I thought I'd lost you."

Date: 2011-12-12 05:35 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com
"But you didn't," he soothed. "You didn't. I'm right here, Savannah. I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere."

He ran a hand through his hair. "I love you," he said again. Because really, it was one of those things you couldn't say enough.

Date: 2011-12-12 05:40 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
"I love you, too. I love you so much. And I know you are but..." She swallowed. "Remember when I was lost in the past? You said those three days were some of the worst of your life. This time, it was worse because you've been gone for three weeks, Johnny."

Three weeks of hell, of trying to keep everything under control so that she could help others here and not break completely.

Date: 2011-12-12 05:43 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com
Johnny didn't know what to do, what to say. His girl had gone through hell and there was nothing he could do to make any of it better for her.

"Come home," he said after a moment. "We'll cuddle, watch bad TV, order take out, have a night just for the two of us."

Date: 2011-12-12 05:48 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
"As soon as I get a plane out -- unless you're up to flying out and picking me up? I don't want to ask Wyatt because ... it's been hell on him and he and Isabel need some time together, too, since we lost Wyatt when he stayed to add power to the forcefield so more people could get to safety."

She was so not going to add over the phone that she probably would have gotten taken, too, if Wyatt hadn't orbed her off of the roof and into Special Collections.

Which reminded her, she needed to ask Wyatt if Chris was back. She assumed he was since Johnny was back.

Date: 2011-12-12 05:51 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com
"You catch a plane out," Johnny decided after a moment. "I'll head home, get the place all cleaned up and ready for a nice romantic evening, how's that sound?"

He wanted to pick her up, but he also wanted to do something for her. There wasn't much he could do, but he could do this much.

Date: 2011-12-12 05:58 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
She nodded. "I'll call and book the flight as soon as I can then." She probably wouldn't trust Portalocity for a little while with what had happened leading up to Wyatt coming to get her and all of the problems they had had afterwards.

"Johnny, I love you. No matter how many fights we ever have, I will always love you."

Date: 2011-12-12 06:57 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com
"And I will always -- always love you," Johnny said solemnly. "I don't ever want you to forget or doubt that. I know I've been busy lately and I haven't exactly paid you the attention you deserve."

Date: 2011-12-12 07:00 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
Savannah winced. She hadn't been planning on telling Johnny that she had been feeling neglected.

"You're a super hero," she said softly. "Helping people is important to you."

Date: 2011-12-12 07:02 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com
"But being with you is important to me, too," Johnny said. "I guess I'm just not always very good at balancing it. But I'm trying, sweetheart. You know I am."

Date: 2011-12-12 07:08 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
"And I'm proud of who you," she pointed out quietly. "I'm proud of you for being the hero you are ... but sometimes, sometimes I just don't think that there's a place in your life for me any longer. I know you're trying to balance things out, but I can't help how I feel."

And they both knew that in an alternate universe, her not saying that feeling had led to a break-up, a kidnapping, and him not knowing he had a daughter for eighteen years.

Date: 2011-12-12 07:14 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com
Johnny was quiet for a moment. "There will always be a place for you in my life," he said softly. "I love you, Savannah. You're the one I want to marry, to spend the rest of my life with, to have a family with."

He didn't know what else to say, didn't know if there was anything else to say.

Date: 2011-12-12 07:33 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
"That's what I want, too, Johnny. I want that more than anything. I just ... I just want to make sure that I'm not getting in your way."

And now she was starting to cry again because this wasn't how she thought this phone call was supposed to go.

"Listen to me, babe," Johnny said gently. "You could never be in my way. And a little secret? You're always with me, even when I'm off saving some random planet. Because I carry you around in my heart. How could you possibly be in my way?"

Date: 2011-12-13 01:02 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
Savannah fought to get herself under control. She knew that a complete emotional breakdown was coming and she needed to stay strong just a little longer.

"I love you so much, Johnny. I do."

Date: 2011-12-13 01:05 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com
"And I love you," he said, his voice soft. "I love you and I always will, no matter what. You know that, right?"

That might've been a hint of vulnerability in his voice, not that he'd ever admit it.

Date: 2011-12-13 04:15 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
"Sweetheart," Savannah's voice caught when she heard the emotions in his voice. "I have never doubted how much you love me."

Date: 2011-12-13 04:16 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] fantastic-torch.livejournal.com
"Just wanted to hear you say it." There was a smile in Johnny's voice now. "We'll make this work, Savannah. We have to."

Date: 2011-12-13 04:26 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
Savannah nodded. "I know we will," she whispered. "We've faced much worse things together, right?"

Date: 2011-12-13 04:33 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] walks-two-paths.livejournal.com
"Are you all right?" Her voice was soft as she asked the question.
