So I'm having a bit of a weird day, I was standing in the shower feeling like I had missed something important look down and it turns out that I was still wearing my socks :D
Anyway, my weird day may or may not be reflected towards the end of the chapter, but then again it might not. Hope you like it :)
They got to the surface and Sam made her way over to where her bike was parked. She had grabbed her spare helmet from the lab and as she reached the bike she pulled out the other one and offered it to Helen, "Still like going fast?"
Helen beamed and took the helmet from her, "Do you even have to ask?"
Sam laughed and then looked over to where the other three were standing, "We'll be back well before you. Just let me give you directions and we'll meet you there?" She quickly spieled of the directions and then turned to Helen, "You ready to go aunty dearest?"
"Don't call me that Samantha and can I drive?"
Sam shook her head, "No way. Sorry but I don't trust anyone with my baby."
Helen nodded her understanding and then waited for Sam to get on before she got comfy behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist. Sam laughed a little and then gunned the engine. She looked over at Nikola, "See you in a bit sparky." Then she twisted the throttle one last time before she sped out of the lot, leaving a cloud of dust and a fuming Nikola behind.
Kate and Will shared a look before they made their way over to their car. "What do you make of her?" Kate asked Will quietly.
"She obviously knows all about Magnus and the five and everything that the Sanctuary is and does. She also seems to be very confident in herself and obviously enjoys what she does and trusts her team."
Kate nodded, "That's what I thought. She actually reminds me of Magnus, she looks like someone who has seen things no one else has."
They quickly got into the car and Tesla got into the back. They started the car and headed out of the parking lot, getting out was a lot quicker than getting in as the security wasn't quite as extensive although it still did take some time. Once they were past the check point and on the road Will followed the directions Sam had given them.
Sam made it to her house quickly and once there she rolled her bike up the drive slowly before parking it just to the side of the garage. She pulled off her helmet and once Helen had gotten off the bike got to her feet. She put one helmet back into the space under the seat while she carried the other into her house, she was glad that she always kept a spare with her, just in case.
After she had opened the door and put the helmet on the bottom of the banister she turned to Helen and asked, "Tea?"
Helen nodded and while Sam went into the kitchen Helen took a look around her great niece's living room. She stopped by the window sill and looked at all the pictures there. She could see some of Mark and his family but there seemed to be a lot more that were of Sam and the group of people she had met today as well as a few of Sam a brunette woman and a blonde girl. She heard Sam walk into the room behind her and turned to face her, holding one of the pictures she had been looking at.
She took the cup that Sam offered her and took a sip before smiling and saying, "Glad to see that you can still remember how to make a good cup of tea."
Sam just smiled at her and gestured towards the sofa, taking a sip out of the cup she was holding. They both sat and then Helen gestured to the picture, "Who are they?" she asked, "They look like they mean a lot to you."
Sam looked more closely at the picture, it was of her Janet and Cassie a few weeks after Cassie had gone to live with Janet. Cassie was sat in between the two women and had her arms around their shoulders while Janet and Sam were tickling her. All three had massive smiles on their faces. Sam took another sip of tea before answering, "That's Doctor Janet Fraiser and her adopted daughter Cassandra and yeah they mean a lot to me. There weren't many women at the mountain when I first got reassigned so Janet and I made friends quickly, especially since she's the CMO which means that we all see her quite a lot."
Helen smiled at her, "You have a good life here Samantha, I'm glad."
Sam smiled back at her, "You know what Helen, so am I."
