Ian Wright | Quantum Leap | CW: accidental self harm

The First Statue
Ian was having enough trouble waking up to find themselves on the Isle rather than at home working to bring back Ben. And Sam. Technically the code should help them bring back Sam too. If they could ever find him. Ben is the bigger priority at the moment though because Ben was their best bet at knowing how to deal with....

"WHAT THE HYPERCHARGE!?: Anyone nearby could hear Ian's started exclamation.


Ian jumped back and then... realized it was a statue. Their hand curled into fists. This was the person who had been causing them all so much heart ache. Who was the reason why Magic...

Frustration boiled over and Ian found themselves acting more like Jenn or Addison as they pulled back and punched the statue in the face.

Anyone who missed the exclamation before could hardly miss the cry of pain as glass canon Ian dropped to the ground cradling their fist. Thankfully they remembered enough of Jenn's lessons to not break their hand, but that still hurt.

Okay maybe that wasn't what Jenn or Addy would have done. They would have been smart enough to have grabbed a chair or a desk or something. Only silver lining was neither of them were there to lecture Ian. Who was right now somewhere between self loathing and loathing Gideon... who seemed to be smirking down at them even now.


Statue, my friend?
Once someone helped Ian get past the statue in the doorway to their room, Ian was trying to get outside to get to the beach. Cold salt water on their fist would probably hurt but was probably what they needed. But the halls were full of other statues. Ian was trying to figure out how to get past the ones that were strangers but then got stopped by....

"Ben? BEN!"

It almost didn't matter that it was a statue. It was Ben! But why... why both Gideon and Ben, why connect them and... Then Ian noticed the statue behind Ben, back to back with him, hands held between them. "Addison. Of course." Ian's eyes were welling up. "Of course your statues would be together." Whatever it was that brought them here at all.

They... didn't have to destroy all the statues... right?




(OOC: other statue possibilities if anyone wants them: Jenn, Magic, Janis, Beth, or Rachel. Or we can just run through them in a single go...)
