Who: Nikola Tesla and Helen Magnus
What: Checking out the underground Sanctuary
When: Nowish
Where: Underneath Old City, starting in tunnels but then here
Warnings/Ratings: TBD
It didn't take long for her skin to start itching and that giant house of hers to feel empty in a way she couldn't fill. Without her team it was a constant reminder. At first Helen simply appreciated her home was intact, and now she wondered if haunting the hallways was any better. After that she said 'get a hold of yourself, Helen, let's not be unnecessarily maudlin.' The first thing she did after securing the house was to go looking to see if her other project was there. It was a relief to see it was, considering it seemed this place jumped around time and space within the worlds. She did like a challenge, but starting all over again? A bit much even for her.
She promised Nikola a surprise if he went with her. Of all people, he might appreciate it the most, mostly because of the minds that went into creating it. Brilliant scientists chosen selectively through out the past century to offer their additions, all under the nose of her own self in the regular timeline. Helen kept some of that private, despite answering Nikola's general questions. She rarely answered all questions that were posed to her, and age didn't make her defenses soften. If anything she bolstered them up, stronger than ever, a fact Will pointed out with no small amount of disappointment before. She convinced him to pack a small travel bag and they went underground, finding the paths she'd blazed a way through.
Helen didn't give him much warning, because she thought it would be much more fun to wait and watch. Her hair was up and she was comfortably attired for a hike. They weren't far from the Sanctuary now, and she knew his sharp ears might pick up on the waterfall at the very least. The buzzing of electricity. "I think we might want to study this hotel more carefully, later on. Everything has to have a power source, even magic." She didn't believe in magic, not entirely. She believed in technology and the supernatural and what science could prove.
