Re: Hargreeves
Yeah. Ben was kind of getting that. It was one of the reasons that he felt so scared and nervous. Because dead, bad things had always called to Klaus the loudest. He'd always heard and seen things that no one else had and it'd drove him to ruin time and time again. And Ben -- well. So often, Ben had only been able to watch and do nothing else.
But he was here now. He was alive and a physical being and he wasn't going to let it happen again. Not this time. So they weren't going through that fucking red door, no matter what.
"We're gonna find the door," he said, raising his free hand to press against Klaus' cheek -- steadying and reassuring. There. "I'll protect you." And he fucking meant it. Which was why he was turning on his heel a second later and physically dragging Klaus back down the hallways, toward the stairs.
