"This is not happening." Owen leaned against the railing, looking at the river in front of him, and point-blank refusing to look at the bridge a few feet away. "I'm not going."

The woman sitting on the bonnet of the car sighed, uncrossing her arms to push away, coming over to stand next to him, her back against the railing. "I know it sucks, trust me. And I'm bloody tempted to smack whoever decided this would be something good. But I'm not, because I still have a morgage on that house of mine."

"I'm still not going." Owen glared at her a moment, before looking back at the river.

"Then stay here, and watch the water flow under the bridge, that's not my worry. Just..." she trailed off, looking down at her feet. "Be careful. I know, I know, rather redundant, I mean, you're dead, but..."

"Anything can happen here." Owen let out a snort of amusement, looking over at her with a smirk. "Character limbo and all that. Still, better than being over there." He nodded his head at the far side of the river, where Suzie was making faces at him.

Morgyn looked over her shoulder, and rolled her eyes. "Yeah. Watch out for Jack, he comes through here time to time. Might have yourself some fun, if he's here for more than a few minutes."

"Maybe." Owen shrugged, and turned his back on the river, leaning against the rail. "We have what, a week to wait for reset?"

"Yeah. Don't know if it'll bring you back, though."

"I'll wait here through all the damned resets this series if I have to. I'm not going over that bloody bridge."

Morgyn smiled, pushing away from the rail, and leaning up to give him a quick kiss. "I know. But if the end of the series comes, and you're still here, you know you're going to have to cross that bridge."

Owen grimaced. "I know. But not yet. You lot don't get rid of me that easily."

Morgyn laughed, heading back towards the waiting car. "Oh, trust me, Owen, I know." She opened the door, leaning against it a moment as she grinned at him. "And believe you me, I don't intend to let you escape all that easily, either."

Owen shook his head, giving her a groan of mock-despair. "You're insaitable!"

"Always!" Morgyn shouted back as she stepped into the car, closing the door behind her. It came to life with a deep bass rumble before motoring off, Morgyn waving as she let the vehicle take her back towards the misty interface between one world and another.

Owen sighed, turning back to watch the people on the far side of the river, holding onto the hope that a reset would keep him from having to join them.

"What the hell is a doctor going to do in the land of the dead anyway?"
