[ Helen is standing in a ruined part of the Sanctuary as she turns on the feed. The chapel and opposite wing of the building have taken heavy damage. Some of it has been completely brought down, but Snape's wards protected the heart of the building. ]If there is anyone who wants or needs medical assistance, I am more than willing to help. I'm

Action

[Tesla approaches from the general direction of the library, and ends up beside her with his hands clasped in a slightly thoughtful manner.]

Helen.

[notanemptymotto]

[ Helen stands, dusting her hands off as she turns to look at Nikola. She smiles for him. ]

I see you've managed to remain unharmed. That's good news.

[martyrtoscience]

It was touch and go for a bit.

[Well, not really.]

How was your adventure?

[notanemptymotto]

[ There's a small laugh that comes from her. One that is exhausted, both physically and emotionally. Even at her age, Helen knows she can let her walls down a little around him. Even if there are times she wants to strangle Nikola. ]

Considering the circumstances, it fared alright... we lost a few. [ Her expression falls. ] Will is missing.

action

[Peter has tried not to get into much more trouble, and while he's healed up now, thanks to his mutations, he's still sore and has to be careful with himself. Despite that, he's doing what he can to help tidy up the Sanctuary, and he has some heavy rubble bags he's slowly filling, carrying them around the Sanctuary as he does his part.

Pausing at the sight of Helen, he puts on a quick smile.] I figured I'd start on clean up duty.

[notanemptymotto]

[ She turns her head to look at him, giving him a mixture of a playful glance and a motherly look. She hardly expects the residents of the Sanctuary to try and fix it. She simply needs to go out and actually find some sort of contracting group that isn't busy as it is. Most of the residential area is in tact, so they won't need to actually find somewhere else to sleep in the Sanctuary until it's fixed. ]

You hardly have to help with any clean up duty. You're a resident here.

[amazing_spidey]

But... it's our home, so I can't just leave it a wreck, right? Besides, I've been nagged at enough back home about keeping the house clean.

[He gives her a small smile again and picks up a few more pieces of rubble, putting them in the sack.] If there's anything wrong with any of the machinery here, I'll see if I can fix that too. I'm good with technology.

[notanemptymotto]

[ Helen blinks a few times at the statement before a more gentle smile spreads across her face. ]

It's your home if you like to see it as that way. [ She wasn't going to imply it was if it wasn't. She crosses over to him, kneeling down beside him. ] I imagine you and Henry will get along brilliantly. He is the one who runs all of our networks and security systems here and back home. He also has quite the interest in science fiction.

[ Then she glances away for a brief moment. ] However, I think there might be something more pressing than all of this.

[Ezio has a little smile to offer, but nothing else beyond that. He knows this whole ordeal has been harsh on everyone, some more than others.]

Ciao, bella. Did you want some company?

[notanemptymotto]

[ Helen gives one in return. She is very tired, but, she isn't one to simply stop because she's tired. It's one blaringly negative trait of hers. ]

Ciao, Mentore. [ Oh, she does enjoy teasing him. ] I'd imagine you're rather busy with your Order. [ Which is her way of saying she'd like company, but, she doesn't know how ask for it. ]

[alltenfingers]

They are all at work with their tasks, rest assured. I will be at the Sanctuary soon.

[He heads out already, and absently contemplates a tunnel between the Sanctuary and his Villa, where the Order is based for the most part. It'd be useful, that's for certain. It takes a little while for him to get there, but he heads inside after being careful enough on his way, and he seeks out Helen, hood up as he walks the halls.]

[notanemptymotto]

You certainly know how to work them.

[ Helen moves from the rubble areas into the more secure and stable ones. She's making notes for what sections need to be cut off on the defense grid until they're entirely rebuilt. ]

[ He's gone back to the arcade by now. Helen will be able to see it in the background briefly before he makes his way up the stares to his bedroom/office/that place where he sleeps at night. ]

Not needing anything on this end. Is there anything you need that I can bring over though?

[notanemptymotto]

A good cup of tea if you have any.

[ The smile that follows the comment is one to say that she isn't entirely serious... although she really could use some tea at the moment. ]

How is the arcade, Sam?

[inflynnwetrust]

I'm not much of a tea drinker, but I can probably find some place that hasn't been completely trashed and get you some.

[ He grins a little before looking off screen momentarily. ]

Surprisingly enough? Not too bad. Kaylee and her friend took cover here during hell breaking loose and it looks like they were able to keep low. Just a couple of broken windows and one of the games are going to need some repairs. But it could have been a lot worse.

[notanemptymotto]

I have some here in the Sanctuary. All that's missing is the company, I'm afraid.

[ A shrug. ]

You could have parts of it in utter dismantle as I do here.

[Dean's face is bruised, cut, and his lower lip is swollen. It's a sheer miracle his eyes aren't swollen shut as well. The cuts and bruises don't end there, they seem to be mostly everywhere, and he's got his right arm hugged against his chest, a makeshift sling holding it there. While his wounds are clean, they're still rather severe.]

You got time to give me the once over, Doc?

[notanemptymotto]

[ Amazingly, Helen isn't too surprised to see such a roughed up face looking back at her. After all, they were in survival mode. ]

I certainly do. Are you going to make it here in one piece?

[likemichael]

If my arm falls off, I'll put it in a zip-lock bag for ya.

[He gives her half a smirk, because the other side of his mouth is too swollen to do much, and heads out the door.] Where in Old Town am I heading to?

[notanemptymotto]

That is very reassuring, thank you. [ She shakes her head. Oh, Dean. ]

You'll be able to tell the Sanctuary when you see it. A large gothic building.
