Nikola. I'd say you're not a bastard but you kind of are.
Ohhh... where to start. We'll start with Time For Cocktails. Given we already know the tl;dr on canon. Because you and I spend hours on this.
She thought it was pretty weird of Nikola to ask her to help, especially because he normally doesn't, and it was for Howard's son. Though, she sees it as an actual real act of selflessness on Nikola's part - or as selfless as he gets. It's bumped up her respect for him, even more than him actually doing what she asked with the weapon to neutralize Ashley.
Of course there is a part of her that does love Nikola. It might be romantic, it might be platonic. Most likely platonic. She doesn't worry about it or even ponder over it. Why bother, really? Nikola and her really would never work as a couple. He hates physical contact GERMS OMFG and Helen, when she opens up, is a rather physical sort of woman. So, she settles for platonic and enjoys teasing him like a very good friend.
That being said she still thinks he is an egotistical child who is really, too optimistic about the world - or was, back in World War II. She still doesn't approve of him getting all VAMPIRES WILL RULE ZE WORLD, and would stop him again, and again. She really only keeps bringing up Edison to keep his ego in line, or as much in line as Nikola's ego will get.
Which in a way is a sort of her way of trying to protect him. She really does know how much Edison pissed off Nikola, and continues to, and thinks it's what she can do to help steer him to helping better the world. Since, she understands that is what he really wants to do. She just doesn't agree with his methods.
His affection for Clony is a tad adorable as well. Just wait till she finds out about the love affair weirdness going on between Iron Man and Clony and Tesla.
