Helena Wells-Quinzel is H.G. Wells (indelibleink) wrote in makebelievelog,

This comforting thing was still something Helena was quite rusty on, though knowing she'd been able to comfort Myka gave her enough comfort Claudia now. It was a harsh reality of this world that just as easily as they were brought here, they could be sent home. It was something that was always in the back of Helena's mind. It was a real possibility that there would be a day she'd wake up and find Myka had been sent home. Or Claudia. Or even herself. None of those were scenarios she wanted to happen. She wanted them to stay together here. She really wanted this chance to live without the Warehouse or the Regents hanging over her. The Victorian woman just wanted to live and be with those she cared about.

When Claudia spoke, Helena caught both intonations to the words spoken. "That does warrant a good butt kicking, yes," Helena responded in much the same tone as Claudia had spoken. The loss of a friend as dear as Steve was to Claudia was hard to take, and Helena would keep a close eye on the younger woman. The side of Claudia that had been revealed when she'd been determined to bring Steve back from the dead at all costs had frightened her because Helena had felt similar things once in her quest to save Christina. She saw similarities in Claudia that worried her, and if there was anything she could do about the situation, she would ensure Claudia wouldn't go down the same path she had.

"You're welcome, darling," she replied with a soft smile. She glanced over to see Myka sitting on the couch, the tears rolling down her cheeks. Not for the first time, Helena found herself to be the most stable one in the room. While she was sad that Steve wasn't here any longer, the truth of the matter was that she didn't know him that well. Not as well as Myka or Claudia did. So once again she found herself needing to be the rock for the other two. It was a role that she didn't mind playing as it would, hopefully, bring the three of them that much closer. And they were all the family they had left in this place. Yes they all had their friends in this place, but the relationships formed when working at the Warehouse were somehow different than normal relationships.

Guiding Claudia over to the couch, she sat down, wordlessly drawing Myka into a hug. "We are family, and we will get through this together." Perhaps it sounded a bit silly to say given they knew how volatile this place could be in sending people home, but in the here and now, the three of them were still there, still together. They had each other and they love for each other. That would be enough to carry them through as long as they believed it would.
