When it came down to it Myka would always push back. She'd always be there to talk Helena down if the need arose. And though the thought brought pangs of sadness if Helena ever pushed her away she'd push right back. Because she had seen the coping mechanism of pushing everyone out of your life happen within her own life. When Sam had died she'd pushed everyone away and focused on work.
"Helena, I know you trust me. And please for now trust that when I look at you I see someone worthy of forgiveness." Myka said in response. Convincing the Victorian woman that she was capable of redeeming her soul was going to take some time. To an extent Myka knew how much Helena's demons haunted her. She'd heard the entire run of events for what had happened to Christina's murderers. It was the main reason why she knew that this was never going to be an easy venture. The question Helena posed was a powerful one. In her mind, Myka was screaming that yes it was. But for someone who had spent so long letting her demons fester while her body was encased in bronze, the answer wasn't all that simple.
Myka closed her eyes willing her emotions to remain in check. It really wouldn't do for her to break down while trying to help her girlfriend out. She had her own demons but those could be addressed at a later date, for now it was all about Helena. "You know that part of you that loves me more than anything. Hold to that. Because that piece right there is untainted. But whether it is tainted or not doesn't matter to me. I love you; and that means both the good and the bad. So please just believe in me." When Myka finished she couldn't prevent the tears from escaping so instead she settled her head more comfortably and pulled Helena back to settle back down in her arms.
