Everything was still the same from when he had left 2 years ago. Same appearance, same smell, even the same eternal feeling of returning home. Henry Foss couldn't help but smile as his worn out hands ran their fingers against the hard granite stones that made up the Sanctuary's outer walls. It was good to be back.

Kate Freelander walked down the halls of the Sanctuary, making her usual path towards Dr. Helen Magnus's office to see the older woman's plans for her. If Kate was lucky she would get a light day and be able to work on her aiming – she had been slacking lately. She thought nothing of it when she saw the door to Magnus's office open and walked right in, stopping to knock on the door-frame as she passed through it.

Magnus was sitting behind her desk, while Will was in front of it, sitting down on its ledge, both were talking to someone sitting in one of the chairs in front of the desk. Kate couldn't see who the person was from her angle, but there was something distinctively familiar about them.

Magnus lifts her head when Kate comes in, her eyes flickering between her and the person sitting in the armchair in front of her desk. Will eyes widen, but he remains silent, bowing his head.

"Kate." Magnus says, her voice cool and collected as always, but there was something about her eyes that leaves Kate uneasy.

"Yeah?" She asks, coming forward into the room. "What's up?"

Magnus's eyes flick between them again before she gives Kate a small smile. "Look who's back."

Kate takes a few more steps, finally being able to see who was the mysterious occupant of the armchair. She feels her eyes widen and her heart drops. Kate takes a deep intake of breath, willing her voice not to falter. She swallows.

"Hey Kate."

"…Henry."

And then she's gone, out the door before anyone could say or do anything. Will lets out a breath as Magnus looks apologetically at Henry's slumped figure in front of her, his eyes closed, hands rubbing over his face.

"I'm sorry Henry." She says.

"Not your fault Doc."

"Yeah, it's yours." Will replies, crossing his arms as Henry closed his eyes.

"Will!" Magnus scolds, turning her head to glare at him.

"S'okay…" Henry sighs. "He's right."

Magnus gives Will another reprimanding look, before getting up from his desk and coming over to Henry. She gave him a quick hug as he stood up to face her.

"It's good to have you back Henry."

"Thanks Doc, it's good to be back." Henry hugs Magnus back, gives Will a short nod and then leaves the room.

She sits down beside Will on the desk, sighing. "That was uncalled for Will."

"It's the truth."

"Still uncalled for…"

"He should know what to expect."

Magnus nodded, realizing the truth behind his words, as much as it pained her to see it. She returned to her desk, going through the days work and then handing Will a medium manila envelope.

"Could you give these to Kate, please? She left before I had the chance."

"Sure." Will says, taking the envelope. "What is it?"

"Some papers she asked me for." Magnus replied as Will flipped through them, his eye-brows raising.

"Magnus, these are-"

"Yes, I know Will." She says, interrupting him.

"You can't be serious about it."

"It's her choice Will. I can't stop her."

"But he's back!" Will protested.

"Yes, and let us hope that counts for something." Magnus answers, giving Will a small nod.

He shakes his head and leaves the office, making his was towards Kate's room, hoping he would find her there. She's not there, but he didn't really think that's where she had gone to hide. Turning around he heads towards Kate's second favourite place in the Sanctuary.

Will heads towards the shooting range and, as predicted, there was Kate, protective gear on and firing round after round of bullets at the paper targets. Will presses a button on the wall behind him, making the red lights lined against the ceiling flash, alerting her to his presence.

Kate stops what she's doing and slowly turns around to see who it is. She relaxes when she sees it's Will and lays the gun down, taking of the protective gear she was wearing. Will makes his way over to her, giving her a small smile.

"Hey." He says, leaning against the booth.

"Hey." Kate replies, staring at him suspiciously.

"Nice shots." Will comments, nodding towards the paper targets – all with perfectly aimed holes straight in the heart.

"What do you want Will?" She asks annoyed, head hanging down.

Will nods, dropping the small talk. "Magnus asked me to give you these." He holding the manila envelope up for her to see.

"Oh, okay." Kate reaches out her hand for it, but Will doesn't move. "Will…"

"Why are you doing this?" He asks.

"Give me the envelope." She demands.

"Answer the question."

"It's none of your business!" Kate replies, moving forward and snatching the envelope from his hands.

"Okay, fine, whatever." Will sighs, crossing his arms over his chest. "Just think about it before you do anything you'll regret."

"Thanks for the tip." She mumbles, pushing past him towards the exit.

"I'm on your side Kate…" He says slowly, turning around to look at her retreating back. His words make her stop and Kate turns her head, looking at him with sorrow-filled eyes.

She gives him a small, yet sincere, small. "Yeah, I know…" She says softly.

Will doesn't miss how weak and tired she sounds as she turns on her heels and leaves the room.
