Lana had the afternoon free, so she decided it was high time she made a couple of phone calls. First she gave Ino a call.

Then she placed another to someone a lot farther away.

And much later called Ino again.


[For another alum, but open to anyone else who might want to call or who might for some reason be in New Haven, Connecticut.]

This time, Shawn actually looked at the caller ID before he picked up. Always a good plan.

"Lana," he greeted. "Nice to know you still call even when we're not having a secret affair."

"Wouldn't dream of trying," Shawn replied with a chuckle.

"You doing alright?"

"I... think I just accepted a job offer," he said, leaning back in his desk chair.

"Well, I am," Shawn clarified quickly. "This is sort of an 'on the side' thing. Working with this guy I knew before I went to FH. I'm just going to be healing a couple of people a week."

"If I can help people, it can't be bad, right?" The 4400 center had it's very obvious flaws, but his part was pretty solid as far as he could tell.

"They wanted me to take it on in a more full time capacity, but--" Okay, he'd been tempted, but he knew several people who would kill him if he quit school.

"Little bit," Shawn admitted. "But it takes quite a lot. Found that out during our very own Fandom pandemic."

"Quite possibly," he said, thinking about it a moment. "But then again, by the end, even I was pretty out of it, so..."

"Probably not a valid experiment when it's something you're going down with too."

"It could've gone a lot worse," Shawn pointed out. Not the most uplifting of conversation topics.

"Anyway, I'm all for helping people when I know I can."

Shawn grinned broadly, turning in his chair. "Oh, really?"

Shawn laughed, nodding even though she couldn't see it. "Yes, it was."

"Did you get a chance to talk to Parker after your catfight?"

"No lingering urges to hit each other?" he checked.

"A good sort of think about?" Shawn asked curiously.

Well, now that was just going to make him even more curious, wasn't it.

"What makes you think that?"

Shawn gave a little chuckle, again with the nodding even though you can't see that through a phone line.

"And she'd be right," he said. "If only it weren't for that almost entire continent in the middle."

"The former guardian?" Shawn asked. Well, he assumed that was the case. Not many college students had that sort of access.

From: [identity profile] justmisplaced.livejournal.com
Shawn gave a little laugh. "Wow."

He paused thoughtfully a moment. "You think we could make that sort of thing work?"

"Does cut out that awkwardness," he agreed, letting out a little breath of amusement.

"And what harm is trying? Never know when it might be worth it."

"We're sometimes a little slow?" he suggested with a hint of amusement.

"Aesop's theory worked out in the fables," Shawn said. "Why not in the real world?"

Shawn chuckled. "Well, that's gotta be a good omen."

"I guess we really should," he agreed, grinning himself. "And my schedule is pretty open, so..."

"Next weekend, then?" Shawn suggested, sounding quite obviously positive about this, which will probably be comforting.
