FINAL CHAPTER OF THIS STORY, YAY! I am thankful for all the fans that have stayed and read all the chapters through the good and the bad.
Helena, Alec, and Gideon arrive at the clocktower future time. They were watching as Max was fighting Chris. They see Nexus in the corner who has appeared in the clocktower, heading towards Max who didn't see him because she was busy fighting Chris.
Helena then jumps in front of Nexus and they start fighting, soon Alec helps her take him out, but not before Nexus sends a blast of energy towards Alec, knocking him unconscious and landing on glass, bleeding a lot.
Helena goes and frees Bruce and the others.
"Helena, how are you alive? I don't understand" said Bruce
"Long story, I'm not, I'm from the past, well, my present your past." Said Helena.
"Oh god, Delia, go heal Alec" said Dick "Good to see you again Helena"
"Time for that later. I gotta help Max" said Helena, watching Max and Chris still going at it, Chris finally getting Max on the floor, taking out a knife.
"Chris stop it, I'm your sister, you can't kill me. I know this isn't the real you."
"Ya right, you're the one who killed them I know you are"
"Chris stop, she's right, Nexus did it, not her." Said Helena, walking towards him.
"You, how are you here. You're dead. I know you're not her, get away before I hurt you"
"Chris, snap out of this, I can tell you're good. Just listen, I'm from the past, but I still love you and I will not let you kill her. None of this is your fault, or hers. Please!" said Helena
Chris suddenly dropped the knife, and fell to his knees. Everyone looked behind him to see that Brianna had thrown an antidote to Nexus' drug at Chris.
"Oh god. Are you ok Max, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you" said Chris, still remembering everything that had happened.
"Chris, it's fine, I'm ok. You didn't kill, you're ok" said Max, hugging him.
"Chris, do you remember where the antidote is for what Nexus injected Jaimie with?" asked Helena.
"Ya, it should be carried on Nexus"
Chris took it out of Nexus' jacket pocket.
"Why don't you come back with us Chris, and you can give it to her yourself." Said Max.
"Why, she probably hates me for what I did"
"She doesn't hate you Chris, she was worried, just like Max was, and so was I when I found out about you. All that matters is that you had a whole year under Nexus' control, and you still hadn't killed. You fought through it hard, and I'm very proud of you. Come with us, and we can all talk about it, ok?"
"Ya, sounds like a plan, thanks for the pep talk, I needed that." Said Chris, smiling a little.
"Sometimes we all do. Lets go" said Helena, and they all left, everyone but Bruce and Dick anyway.
They went to Gideon, who took them back to present time. When they arrived at the clocktower, they see Barbara, Dinah, Reese, and Bruce waiting for them.
"O thank God, you guys are ok" said Barbara
Helena walked over to Reese and they hugged. Chris went into the room where Jaimie was laying on the couch, and injected her with the antidote. Slowly she opened her eyes, then was surprised to find Chris leaning above her.
"Chris, O my God, you're back. I've missed ya so much." Said Jaimie, who sat up and hugged him, making up for the past year.
"Ya, thanks to everyone. I'm so sorry, I wish it would never of happened."
"I know, me too."
Max walked over to them, and they all hugged. Then they got up and walked over to where everyone else was.
"Hey Delia, hey Brianna." Said Jaimie.
"Hey you, glad to see you're alive." Said Brianna
"Ya, thanks." Said Jaimie laughing.
"And thanks for saving my butt Delia, I'm sure Max needs it alive so she can kick it every once in a while" said Alec
Max just laughed.
"So, do we get introduced to the newcomers or what" asked Dinah.
"Ya, of course." Said Max "This is Brianna, this is Delia, and Chris."
"Wow, Hel, he looks like you" Barbara whispered to Helena.
"I'll take that as a compliment"
"ya, of course you would."
They laughed.
"Well we should probably head back home, we don't need to stay in the past too long, it could change too much, ya never know." Said Chris
Gideon took Delia and Brianna back ahead of the others.
"So, I guess this is it. I just want to say thank you for everything, for coming here, for helping us. I'm so proud of you guys, all of you. I look forward to seeing you again. And Chris, just know it wasn't your fault, none of it." Said Helena.
She walked over to him, gave him a hug. Then did the same to Jaimie and Max. Reese then gave them all a hug.
"She's right, we're very glad you came here. Be good, ok?"
"Ya, of course, always are." Said Max
"Ha, funny" said Chris.
"Well, goodbye, and good luck." Said Helena
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be seeing us again, sooner than you think." Said Jaimie, Helena knew exactly what she was talking about. She was pregnant.
Gideon then took them back to the future.
"So, you up for dinner tonight. I think we could use a break" said Reese
"Of course, what do you have in mind?'
"Well, that's a surprise."
"Oh lord" said Helena, then she just laughed.
"Oh, and Barbara, yours looked like you too" said Helena.
" My what?"
"Your kid, she looks like you, you know Brianna."
"What, how'd you know?"
"I can tell, not to mention she called Dick her dad, and has your eyes"
"Hmm" Barbara just smiled.
Helena then walked out with Reese, hand in hand.
Next Morning, Reese's apartment:
Helena woke to the sound of Reese bringing in breakfast. She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. She was brushing her hair out of her face when she noticed the ring on her finger. She just starred at it at first, then walked out of the bathroom towards Reese.
She starred at him for a second, and he knew that she had noticed.
"Before you say anything, let me go first, ok?" said Reese.
She just nodded her head.
"Helena, I know this is kind of sudden, but it felt like the right time. I couldn't imagine ever spending my life without you, and I hope you feel the same way. I want to be there for you when things get bad, and when they are good. I love you, and I want to spend my life with you. Please, Helena Kyle, will you marry me?" said Reese
She was crying now.
"Yes, I will marry you. I love you too."
They kissed and then hugged.
"And I know this is kind of sudden too, but I think this is the right time to tell you too, so uh, well, I'm pregnant"
Reese said nothing, he just took her in his arms once more and kissed her.
Future Time:
Max was in Terminal City with Alec, after having a meeting with all of the transgenics. She decided she was going to leave the running up to Biggs and Alec.
"Well, I think I'm going to head home. So I'll talk to you sometime next week. Thanks for everything, and I'm glad your ok"
She turned to leave.
"Max, hey wait up, ok?"
"Ya, what is it Alec"
"Ok here goes. I don't want to run Terminal City Max, I want to go with you. I realized a while back ago that I was in love with you. I do Max, I do love you, and I am hoping that maybe an ounce of you feels the same about me."
"You love me? How come you never said anything?"
"Honestly I thought you would kick my ass if you ever found out. I was so scared you would hate me even more than you already did"
"Alec, I never hated you. I always cared about you, even if I didn't show it. You reminded me of Ben, and about the way I used to be. I was trying so hard to be normal, then you made me realize that I'm not, and I hated that. But Alec, I don't hate you. I love you too, I'm sorry it took me so long to realize that"
He walked up to her, and they kissed.
"So, why don't we head home" said Max
"Ya, sounds like a plan."
They headed home, and walked in where Jaimie and her boyfriend, and Chris was waiting for them.
"So, I was thinking we should go celebrate." Said Jaimie.
"Ya, that sounds like a great idea."
They all got up and left, ready to go celebrate everything good that had happened in the last couple of days.
