Luke and Izzy continued to walk along the road, in silence. Izzy was trailing behind Luke when a van pulled up. A shady guy rolled down the window. "Need a ride doll?" He asked Izzy.

Izzy glanced at Luke. "No thanks."

"C'mon sweetheart." The guy said.

Izzy looked at him. "No thank you."

He clenched his jaw. "Just for a mile or two."

"I said, no thank you. " She responded. She grabbed Luke's arm and took off running but the van followed them when a very large, very black, very angry Pegasus stood in front of the van. It stopped and Izzy waved for it to go away. It's wings weren't out yet but mist was starting to settle on the ground.

"Izzy..." Luke started, taking sight of the giant black creature. The driver glanced at her, turning the van around and swinging it to where Izzy was. He grabbed her shoulder and yanked her hard, he had been hanging out the window. Izzy screamed as she was pulled against the door, being slammed into it.

The guy hisses at her then into her ear. "Isabel.....You should have stayed at that camp."

She looked at it and his skin started to get slimy. "Luke!" She screamed. Luke looked at Izzy and started pulling her, her flames started to cover her hair line, moving down her head. "Hydra!" She screamed, suddenly realizing there where more people in the van.

Luke let go of Izzy and sliced the "guy"'s arm off, Izzy fell to the ground and scurried to her feet, grabbing Luke's shoulder and running to the Pegasus. Izzy quickly got on, pulling Luke up with her.

"C'mon." She said, coaxing the gentle giant, at least it was to her. "Crow....Come on!" It started running, Luke immediately grabbed her waist, wrapping his arms around her. Izzy leaned into him, but grabbed hold of the Pegasus's neck, holding onto it firmly. They took off into the air, leaving behind the old gravel road.

Luke looked down, watching the road beneath them disappear beneath the clouds, but before it completely disappeared he saw a ball of fire split the clouds, missing them by inches. Izzy sighed, petting the horses head.

"At least you didn't cut it's head off." Izzy said quietly.

"Why? Because of the whole 'Cut one head off and two more take its place' thing?"

Izzy nodded in reply. Luke watched the clouds pass them and let go of the girl in front of him, carefully stretching his arms out to touch the apparent fluffy clumps of white. But the moment he reached for them, his touch made them evaporate. Luke made a noise as Izzy smiled.

"They're clouds...Did you expect them to be pillows of fluff?" She asked. Luke nodded.

"Yes...I did."

~After the Flight~

The Pegasus quickly departed as soon as it landed, Izzy and Luke finding themselves in front of another hotel.

"Where the Hades are we?" Izzy mumbled.

"Probably another city...." He stated, trailing off at the end. Then he looked around. "Or state." He added, walking up to the door. "They're open." He said, waving Izzy over. She walked over quickly, opening the door as Luke followed her inside.

"Welcome!" Said a cheery voice. Izzy rolled her eyes and walked over to the front desk with Luke in tow.

"I'm Melanie! What for you, can I do?" The woman with the cheery voice said, giggling at the end.

Izzy wanted to throw up, the cheery voice messing with her head. "One room." Izzy said, pulling out her wallet.

"Okay...Queen or King?" Melanie asked, smiling largely.

Luke looked at her weirdly as Izzy spoke. "King, please."

"How many nights?"

Luke decided to answer. "Two nights." Izzy nodded, agreeing with him.

As Melanie took the money Izzy gave to her, Luke casually slipped his left hand into Izzy's right back pocket. And immediatley got her attention. Izzy smiled to Melanie as she took the room key, walking down the hall, Luke's hand still in place. Izzy unlocked the door as Luke threw his bag inside, going to walk over to the bed but Izzy grabbed his collar and kicked the door shut, slamming him against it.

"What the hell are you doing, Castellan?" She asked, narrowing her eyes.

Luke was surprised she managed to throw him against the door, but then he answered. "Trying to sell it?" He said, but it came out as more of a question.

"Sell what?"

"Our relationship?"

"We don't have one!" Izzy practically shouted.

"Well....Still...."

"Stop it then!' Izzy said, watching his eyes. Luke rolled his eyes as Izzy's grip went taunt, he swung her around to be against the door, except this time Luke was an inch away from her face.

"Why should I?" He asked lowly. Izzy's eyes widened, her answer stuck in her throat. Luke's eyes flicked from her lips to her eyes again. He slowly leaned forward a little, his lips barely brushing against her's, then, he let go of her and set his bag on the bed.

"You want the right or the left side?" He asked casually. Izzy relaxed her shoulders, furrowing her eyebrows and titling her head.

"Really?" She asked. "Really!?" She shouted, throwing her hands up. Luke shrugged.

"I thought you'd want first pic-" But he was cut off when Izzy launched herself at him, kissing him. Izzy jumped up on him, wrapping her legs around his waist as he backed up while holding her up with his arms under her legs. As he backed up his legs hit the front of the bed, falling backwards onto it.

Izzy kissed him harder, one hand on his neck and the other in his hair. Luke kissed back quickly, returning the kiss she gave him. She nipped his bottom lip, straddling his waist and pulling on his hair a little. He traced her bottom lip and went to shove his tongue into her mouth, until she broke off and got up. Grabbing another blanket from the tiny blue rack by the bathroom.

"So, you want the right side or the left side?" She asked, tilting her head to the right a little and smirking. Luke sighed, sitting up and crossing his arms. He stood up and walked into the bathroom.

"I want a cold shower." He mumbled as he closed the door. Izzy giggled, walking over to the bed and spreading out the extra blanket. She locked the hotel room door and then jumped on the bed, shimming under the blankets as she heard the water turn on.

"Sucker." She muttered, chuckling as slept washed over her, her eyes slowly closing as she drifted off into the land of dreams. The water running in the bathroom just a sound in the dark.
