And Tomorrow, We Begin Again
A/N: This fic picks up right after the end of SFN2. Magnus has already brought Will to the new Sanctuary, but what about the others?
I don't own these characters, not making money off the fic, etc etc etc…

Prologue: Exploring
"Shall we begin?" Helen asked with a smile, casting a glance at Will, who was still standing beside her, staring awestruck at the new Sanctuary.
"… Wow. Magnus. Wow…" Helen smiled, glad to see her protégé at such a loss of words. There had been far too many words between them lately, and even a few punches. "The others?"
"You're the first to know, Will. I promise."
"No more secrets?"
"No more secrets."
Will took a few steps forward, heading toward the entrance. Helen walked with him, approaching the building. Will was looking around as they walked, taking in the details. Two modern, sleek-looking buildings… a Praxian transit sphere running on its track overhead. "That goes to-" he started to question.
"Praxis. Easy travel back and forth for Kate and Garris." Helen smiled. "Though I only activated it today, to give Kate something to get curious about and come find out about this place." Will nodded. It was a creative idea to be sure. "Hopefully she'll get curious soon. I'd hate to have anyone thinking you were dead any longer than necessary. Trust me, Magnus, not a good feeling."
"I'm sorry Will. I had no choice until this place was ready to keep everything under wraps, including the fact that I survived the destruction of the Old City Sanctuary." Helen did feel terrible about letting her family believe she was dead, even for really only a few days. It was more difficult in some ways than reliving 113 years before returning home only hours after she left to follow Adam Worth into a rift field into the past.
Will nodded, willing himself to understand. Magnus had acted in all of their best interest, and he had to forgive her for her secrets. "So what now?"
"Now we begin again. I'm sure it won't be long until Kate finds the transit sphere. Meanwhile, I'll contact Henry and Nikola."
"Tesla?" Will was incredulous. "Why are you contacting him?"
"He is not working for SCIU anymore and he has been a friend to us, Will. He helped defeat Caleb and enact my plan. I'm going to offer to him to join the Sanctuary team permanently, full time."
"Oh goody," Will replied with a slight roll of his eyes and started off toward the building again. Helen smirked and shook her head before following him.
