Helen Magnus has been getting back in the swing of things. She's found herself a lovely job and gotten back in touch with some wonderful people. Things are starting to seem nearly normal, which should have been her first clue that something is about to go wrong. Chicago does strange things to its residents, but Helen has yet to realize just how

Caring!Helen

It's a pained Abby who's leaning against a building, watching Helen's goodwill with a small smile as the woman's heading down her street.

She doesn't look too well herself, but it'll subside soon enough. Somebody had a broken arm in the coffee shop, and normally she'd try to keep from doing anything so soon after she'd healed up but it was a kid and she couldn't help herself from giving him a hand with the pain. She's not sure she took it all away, his parents might have pulled him off too quickly for that, but she at least helped him a little.

So she's being very careful of her right arm, and she's pale and and grimacing, but watching Helen is bringing her a little bit of pleasure for the moment. She always liked do-gooders, and it's nice to see somebody being indiscriminately helpful.

Tying off a balloon to a small boy's wrist and sending him off, Helen turns and smiles brightly at the world. It's not always about the large good deeds, but about all of them added up to the larger sum. She crosses the street and continues on her path of kindness through the city. As she draws nearer to Abby, Helen can't help but notice the state of the poor girl.

"Are you alright, miss? You look as if you might faint." She reaches out to lightly touch the young woman's shoulder.
