Johnny'd had a long day. He'd picked Jen up in Gotham and spent a good amount of time trying to calm her down. Once she felt a little more like herself again, he'd driven her home, going so far as to let her borrow a car (since hers was still waiting on a part) so she wouldn't feel trapped.
Which, Johnny hadn't realized until he'd gotten outside, meant he had to take the subway back. He really, really missed flying. Heck, he just really missed his powers. He'd returned home to find that Reed had not had a brilliant breakthrough and that the television was still playing Mojoverse.
It was almost a relief when he'd seen the little robot zipping through the hallway, clearly on a mission.
"Welcome to the Baxter Building, home of the Fan--"
"I got it, HERBIE," Johnny said, as he came to a stop in front of Helena. He looked surprised, but pleased. "Hey. You came."
