So... I'm giving actual HUMOR, without stupidity and brainlessness a try! It might actually have drama, and a plot! *Gasp*

"What did you say?" Helen asked in disbelief.
Henry shuffled his feet. "There's a biohazard on level three."
"Yes, but what did you call it?" She asked again.
He told her the scientific name again.
She put a hand to her face and ran it through her hair. "It's not just on level three," she told him. "It'll spread, and if it's what I think it is we're in a good deal of trouble."
"Yeah, well I can't pronounce the name, but we have some more trouble on the way..." Kate led in a grinning Nikola Tesla.

"Leave us please." Helen said quietly.
Once they were alone in the tech room, she folded her hands in front of her and sat down, slowly staring at him.
"I know you do love looking into my eyes, dear, but really. I came to-"
She abruptly cut him off. "I know exactly why you came." Helen pushed the chair away and stared at him with her arms folded.
He waited slowly, completely unprepared for what was coming.
"How could you try and do that? Are you that desperate? Are you that low? One day you just show up, drink some red wine, insult my staff and the next you're gone to make more problems for me and threaten my life. And every time you tell me you love me and you try to make it harder, but after this it's over. You're not coming back to the Sanctuary the next time you get in trouble, you're not following me around like a helpless child. I'm sorry, Nikola, I really am, but after this you just have to understand. You're not part of my life." She slowly looked at him and made to walk off, brushing past him.
He grabbed her arm hard. "I don't know what's going on," he said simply.
She couldn't see his face, but his voice was low. She yanked her arm away. "The 'biohazard' is actually a rare abnormal which must have escaped from it's containment. The slang name is Pretty. In humans it causes a reaction similar to -"
"A love potion," he mused. Before she could start again with anger flaming up in her eyes, he turned to her and said in a choked voice. "And you think I did it? You think I really think I'd... Besides, there's no way of telling who it would get to first or who it would transfer to. You think I'd do something with that many variables at stake? From what I gathered, it transfers to a host, also into liquids without harming them."
She was quiet for a minute. Helen wasn't sure if she really believed him, but she said, "I'd better check it out."

"Okay, so we're pretty sure it's in that room." Will said pointing. Henry nodded when she looked at him.
"So what happens if it infects you?" Kate asked slowly. "You haven't mentioned that bit."
"Which is why Nikola here is going into that room." Helen said.
"W-What?" Nikola said with wide eyes.
"Good dog," Will said coldly.
He blinked at Will, then looked at Helen. She started to give some explanation about how his being a vampire might help, but he ignored the explanation and walked into the room.
After a moment of simply looking around at the walls, he looked back at them.
"Helen," he said with a dreamy look on his eyes.
"Oh no," Helen said quickly. "Get the lab ready, he's been infected!" She shouted as she ran down the stairs, away from Nikola.
So what did you think? Just a vague idea I had. If I get reviews I will continue. More humor later on, & plenty more drama. Probably going to be Teslen, because everything Sanctuary-y I write is. Sorry if it sucked.
