Raven and Gifteds random 1x1s

[Gifted]

Isobel dialed Adams number and went outside as the phone rang. "Hey Adam," She greeted cheerfully, trying to reassure him tthat she wasn't calling because of some dire emergency.

[Raven]

"Hey, Isobel," Adam greeted. "What's up?"

[Gifted]

"I'm down at Joan's house talking to my brother... the good one, yes I'm sure... anyway I think we're going to head back and I'm just calling because I didn't want to just surprise you."

[Raven]

"How can you be sure?" Adam asked, concerned.

[Gifted]

"He hasn't changed the shirt I gave him since I gave it too him. It'd be way too small on the other Ben even if he stole it." Isobel said. "Last time I wasn't as smart as I should've been, the other Ben said he got the shirt covered in blood in the fight and I believed him... anyway, it'sthe shirt I kept for ten years. I know it when I see it."

[Raven]

Adam sighed. "Just be careful," he told her.

[Gifted]

"Absolutely, Adam. I wouldn't have gone alone, but.. well I just felt bad for him." Isobel sighed. "A video was left on the step this morning."

[Raven]

"Oh, God. Joan?" Adam asked, sounding suddenly much more understanding.

[Gifted]

"Yeah." Isobel sighed. "Since Ben hasn't seen it before, he watched it without being really prepared and... Yeah." After a moment she turned and spoke away from the phone. "Huh? Ben? Is that you? I'm just talking with Adam, I'll be right..." She trailed off, sounding confused.

[Raven]

"What's going on?" Adam asked.

Ben looked out the window rather hesitantly to see if Isobel was still on the phone.

[Gifted]

"I heard something, I thought Ben was coming outside, but he's not there..." She frowned. Despite the bright sunny weather, the empty looking landscape around her seemed ominous looking and fear began to creep into her gut. "I'm... gonna head inside now." She said worriedly. "I'll see you when we get there, okay? I-"
That was about when she was hit from behind. She cried out, more from fear than anything, and her phone fell from her hand and skidded into the grass away from her. Maria was standing over her, wearing the mask and trench coat and looking down at her. She held the knife in her hand. Isobel looked terrified and raised her hand up as if she was seriously considering attacking Olivia, but either she couldn't or she never got the chance. Olivia in a second had her standing up with her arms behind her back. She screamed Bens name, praying he'd come help her.

[Raven]

"Isobel?!" Adam and Ben both shouted at the same time. Ben was outside, brandishing his cable almost instantly. He whipped it at Maria, not caring who she had been. She was done fucking around with him and his friends, and especially his sister.

"Isobel, what's going on?" Adam tried asking, but of course it was no use.

[Gifted]

It was hard to tell if Maria was intimidated behind the mask. She kicked Isobels legs out from under her, and fled with her hostage.

[Raven]

"Bring her back here! You are going to wish you never crossed me, Maria! I can do just as much as he can!" Ben yelled, not even knowing if she heard him.

It was loud enough for Adam to hear it, though. He dropped the phone. The evil one had Isobel. He should never have left her alone. He got in the car, forgetting his phone there, and started towards Joan's house. He knew it probably wouldn't do any good to go there, and before the hour was up, he was driving to the hospital instead.

[Gifted]

Isobels phone was left lying in the grass, the only sign that she had been there.

Victor was in much better condition than when Ben had come to see him, but was of course not yet ready to leave the hospital. He was looking up at the ceiling when Adam came in. He'd been too outof it before to even remember when Ben had come in, and wasn't actually aware anything was going on.
