Belle had been so grateful to Jane for all the help she had offered and all the lessons, but she felt that sometimes she began to pester her. After all that fuss and to-do with the portal, she'd found a ray of hope in the mess and was just waiting for the right time to pursue it. She'd felt sick for so long and then there'd been the body. Now, though, she was tired of huddling to herself and tired of putting things off.
She wanted to learn more about all the wondrous and mad and perfect things out there and if she didn't take a step out her front door, she was never going to find that. So, she ventured out to the lab when she knew that Fred worked there, knocking apprehensively on the door. "Miss Burkle? I'm Belle, Jane's student. Can I come in?"

"Hi! Yeah, from before, right? With the portal," Fred replies, immediately recognizing Jane from when they'd all kept the portal open. You didn't really forget someone's face after sharing the experience of being splattered by inter-dimensional wolf guts.

Nothing's really come of it, though. Half the stuff she finds, she doesn't really understand, even after paying as much attention as she does during Doctor Bishop's lectures. Though, Fred figures it'd probably be the same way if anyone tried to read her own notes; they're never complete thoughts, mostly bits and pieces that eventually jog pieces of her memory.

Somehow, based on how he'd acted when he'd found out about the portal that had been opened, Fred didn't think he'd be as excited as she was about trying to figure out how to get another one working.

Even a meteorologist would drive themselves crazy trying to figure anything out on the island.

"I guess I know some of the basic theories," Fred conceded, "It really just depends on what you're looking to learn more about."

"Well, most of what I studied back home was theoretical physics and particle physics. I guess maybe we could start there if you wanted?"
Which isn't really basic, but maybe they can work up to it.

You know, between nearly-thwarted apocalypses.

"I've actually found a lot of them already," Fred admits, and she walks over to one of the work stations where she's found a collection of papers, "At least I think so. Though I think this one might actually be about food."

That much is pretty clear from the last time someone tried a portal.
