[Thread:Open] Will No One Else Stand Up and Fight?
Who: Helena Campbell, OPEN
When: Real Time, as in: now. Not during any major event, not backdated to any other event.
Where: New York City, the outskirts of the new Shadowlands
Summary: Helena is curious. She's heard of some things going on in the Northern part of the ring and didn't want to believe that the Queen somehow managed to make her way here ( Read more... )
She had just about given up when she saw someone else. She looked more closely and recognized Helena with surprise. She hadn't seen her since Quatre helped unlock her memories of where they had met and what had happened there. Realizing that eight months of her life had just been forgotten had really thrown her for a loop, but as much as that bothered her, knowing she had forgotten the friends she made there hurt more. Friends like Helena. Part of Cissie was thrilled to see her--she hadn't expected to ever see her again--but another, larger part of her mourned seeing her friend here, in this world. She had hoped that Helena was back home, with her family and Valentine.
But Helena was here, and Cissie had missed her--even if she hadn't realized she was missing her for a while (stupid memories)--so she increased her pace and called out, "Helena?"

While she was walking she kept pulling on her hair. It was much longer than before... she hadn't had a haircut in quite some time and her long flat black locks were dangling past her shoulders now. She was running her hands through it without even thinking about it. She didn't realize she was doing it until she heard someone call her name.
It was an unmistakeable voice. A voice she knew she had heard before but never dared dream she'd hear again. Cissie.
She whipped around in place and there she was, coming her way. "Cissie!" She leapt up a bit, a kind of little girl jump. She hadn't seen her for so long and of all the people that had been brought to this horrible place (and even thought she wished that Cissie could be at home, relatively safe and back to normal life) she was glad that she was there and quickly ran up to meet her.

She hadn't seen one of those in quite some time.
"I know. I'm glad you're here too. I would much rather prefer that we should both be at home, but I am happy to see you. Speaking of, what are you doing here? How long have you been here?"

Her face sank a bit, her smile beginning to fade.
"There were others who were brought here as well... Obviously you, and The Joker, Batman and a few other's whose names are still a bit fuzzy... and Harvey."
She stopped kind of short at the end of the sentence. She looked like she wanted to say something else, but her expression revealed that either something terrible happened to him... or he just wasn't there any more.
She looked up at Cissie. It had been so hard for her. She had gone looking for Harvey when she first reached this place. She had heard that he was here, somewhere, but she had never found him. Then Valentine came. She had missed him terribly and finally had him back, even though, for him, they had not yet had their relationship together. It made things hard, her having more memories about them than he had but she still had him. Now he was gone, too.
Helena did her best to smile for Cissie, a genuine quirk of the lip unable to stay hidden for the appearance of her friend.

"It'll be alright. I'll just have to make the best of it." And she would do her best to see it all through. It was her way.
"So, what are you doing out here? Were you headed anywhere?" If that was the case, Helena would be more than happy to accompany her anywhere.
