[ Helen doesn't even respond to the video. She grabs her things and runs straight to the garage. She's refusing to lose Henry. Despite the heels, Helen pulls the door open to the garage and goes straight to one of the cars. ]

[martyrtoscience]

[And there's Tesla, leaning against the car closest to the door, obviously waiting for her while he works on finding Henry's phone so they can find him.]

You weren't really thinking of going alone, were you?

[notanemptymotto]

[ There's an irritated sigh that comes from her as she throws the door open. ]

There's no time for one of your teases, Nikola. Either get inside the car, or stay here.

[martyrtoscience]

I wouldn't be here if I was just going to stay.

[He rolls his eyes at the garage camera and copies her movement with a bit more grace.]

His phone's here. [Handing over the tablet now.]

[notanemptymotto]

[ Nikola should be more than used to when Helen is in emotional distress. She's lost Ashley. Will is gone. She is in a near panic about Henry.

Helen glances over at it, nodding. ]

Were you able to patch a tracking software int o it?

[martyrtoscience]

[He doesn't stick around for this part, usually. He's new at it.]

Of course.

[There's an unspoken "We'll find him" in there somewhere.]

[notanemptymotto]

[ She goes quiet for a moment, giving him a silent "thank you", before pulling out of the Sanctuary. ]

[martyrtoscience]

[He keeps his mouth shut, by some miracle of amazing self-control, and keeps an eye on the tablet screen and the city out the window.]

[notanemptymotto]

[ The driving is a little crazy, but Helen parks them near where Henry's location is. She steps out of the car, slamming the door and running over. ]

Henry!

[martyrtoscience]

[Tesla hangs back near the car - to give Helen a small measure of privacy and to make sure nothing can sneak up on her while she's bent at Henry's side.

This place sucks.]

[notanemptymotto]

[ Helen comes to a stop at Henry's body, kneeling down beside it. It's an absolute mess, and obvious that he's no longer with them. Still, she presses her hands against his jugular to find a pulse. She hangs her head for a moment, pressing the back of her hand against her eyes. Damn it. Why, why are these places so intent on ripping away her loved ones? ]

[martyrtoscience]

[He hates being right, sometimes. As much as he loathes disturbing her, they are rather exposed with a body that will attract other monsters.]

...Helen.

[notanemptymotto]

I'm fine. [ She says it insistently and looks up at him. ] We have to take him back to the Sanctuary. I won't let some random team from this city having their hands on him.

[martyrtoscience]

[He knows better, but he approaches and kneels opposite her.]

...Shall I? [He can get Henry into the car easier than she can, though he knows she's very strong.]

[notanemptymotto]

If you would. [ There's another silent "thank you", more said in her eyes than with her words. ]

[martyrtoscience]

[Tesla nods, not responding to that unspoken sentence as he does his best to lightly lift Henry's body from the ground. It takes little effort, and he would be grateful if he wasn't annoyed with the whole situation. Everyone owes him for this.]

Get the door.
