"Isabelle Haynes. Used to Iza, though." [b][i]Iza shakes her hand, still smiling. [/i][/b]

"Hello, Iza. I'm looking for somebody.... By the name of Omnus Ephiateus. Have you heard of him, by chance?"
-
[b][i]Iza's smile slightly intensifies.[/i][/b] "Of course I have."
-
[b][i]Jen's eyes widen in disbelief.[/i][/b] "No way, really? I have to see him!"
-
"Okay, I'll get him." [b][i]Iza turns back to Omnus, still smiling.[/i][/b] "Hey Omn?! You got a visitor!"
-
[b][i]Omnus looks up, confused.[/i][/b] "A visitor?" [b][i]He came from a completely different dimension. Who would visit him? He thought this to himself as he walked up behind Iza. When he saw Jen, he stopped dead in his tracks. His memories that he wiped away returned immediately, and he remembered how he had loved Jen. Jen smiled brightly, and ran forward, hugging Omnus tightly, and planting a firm kiss on his mouth. He spluttered, pulling away.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]For a moment, Isabelle blanked out. Standing there, watching her kiss Omnus. She began to remember what it was like. Relying on no-one but yourself. Being the one thing that she always hated...alone. Suddenly, she blinked, lowering her head and staying silent.[/i][/b]
-
"I-Iz.... It's not what-" [b][i]The smile doesn't leave Jen's face as she hugs Omnus tightly from behind.[/i][/b] "[i]I never got to properly introduce myself. I'm Jen Winters Ephiateus, Omn's wife-[/i]" "Jen. Stop." [b][i]Jen pulled away from Omnus, frowning.[/i][/b] "[i]What?[/i]"
-
"No, Omn...it's fine...it's...it's..." [b][i]Iza turned and walked towards her apartment, her head still lowered.[/i][/b]
-
"No, Iz!" [i][b]Omnus chased after her, Jen in pursuit.[/b][/i] "[i]Omn? What's going on?[/i]" "Jen... just. Wait outside." [b][i]Eventually, Omnus's mechanical legs catch up to Iza.[/i][/b] "Iz, please.... It's not what it looks like...."
-
[b][i]Iza stopped, sighing. She turned back to Omnus, clearly sad and silent.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]He stops, gasping for air.[/i][/b] "Look.... Jen.... Jen's just a childhood friend. We might've.... Considered...." [b][i]Omnus seems only barely able to get the words out.[/i][/b] "Something.... Romantic.... But that's long past...."
-
"It's fine, Omn...I don't mind...I don't...I'm not angry at you...I'm not angry at her. At all." [b][i]Iza sighs again.[/i][/b]
-
"Then.... What're you angry 'bout?" [b][i]Omnus is on the edge of tears, and he never cries. Like, ever.[/i][/b]
-
"Just...go spend time with her or something...I need some time. Alone..." [b][i]Iza shakes her head, looking as if she's ready to curl up in a ball and cry. Mind you, she hasn't done that in years.[/i][/b]
-
"Iz.... I'm so sorry...." [b][i]Omnus looks genuine. He'd never leave Iz; but Jen had been with him for years.[/i][/b]
-
"It's not your fault...it's not..." [b][i]Iza shakes her head some more.[/i][/b]
