(This Part of the Chapter is set right after Helena and Reese argue, before Dinah comes to the apartment building.)
After arguing with Reese, Helena walked back into the apartment. She knew that Reese had his reasons for judging Cole, she also knew something was going on with Cole, and that it wasn't good. The problem was, no matter what she knew, she was in denial about the whole situation, and especially about Cole being the one who was after her.
As she walked in she shut the door. She jumped back a little as Cole was standing right in front of her.
"Everything alright?" Cole asked.
"Yeah, everything's fine"
Cole walked into the bedroom to clean up, leaving Helena in the living room.
(From the bedroom)
"Too bad your friend had to leave so suddenly, I didn't get a chance to thank him." Said Cole.
"He knows"
"Knows what?" he asked.
"He knows how grateful you are"
While Cole was in his bedroom, Helena spotted his briefcase lying on the floor. She got up the courage to look in it, noticing it was empty. There were no cases in it at all. She knew Cole wasn't who he said he was.
"So, uh, don't you think you should lay down and rest, after all, you're still hurt." Helena called out to him.
"I can't, I still have to deal with the people who did this to me"
"And you won't tell me who they are?"
"I really can't, plus you should probably not get involved, there are some bad people out there"
Helena started looking in a few of his drawers quietly, looking for some type of clue leading her to believe if Reese was completely right.
As she opened up one of the drawers, Cole walked into the room.
"Helena, what are you looking for?"
Helena pulled out a pencil and held it up, caught off guard.
"A piece of paper. I was gonna right myself a little not, got a lot to do tonight."
"Right in front of you, by the phone" he said, frowning slightly, as he was close to not believing her.
"Oh, right. Ha, my bad"
He smiled a little, then walked back into the bedroom. Then Helena's eyes suddenly changed to their catlike slits, and then back to normal.
Meanwhile: Dinah, Reese, and Ventroxa were on their way up to the Cole's apartment
"So, what are we going to do when we get up there?" Asked Reese.
"Hmm, I don't know, kick his ass."
"Well, that should go over well with Huntress" said Reese, sarcastically.
"You can't hesitate, if you do he will kill you. He wasn't taught to be passive, that's for damn sure"
"I know that, okay. We were kind of having a private conversation here."
"Just move it"
Cole's Apartment
Helena was pacing slightly when Cole came back into the room. She stopped.
"Is there something wrong Helena, something you're not telling me?"
"Don't you think you have that backwards, Cole"
"Meaning what?" he asked.
"You're the one with all the secrets," she said.
"Am I? You sure about that?"
"I don't really know what I'm sure about anymore," said Helena quietly.
"Yeah, I know how you feel," said Cole, smirking a little.
"I doubt that."
"Look, I think I know what's going on here Hel, and I'm sorry it's come to this, but I'm not sorry about us. You need to know that."
"You never told me where you were from"
"You never asked." He said.
"I'm asking now." Said Helena, her voice getting a little louder now.
"Why don't you ask me what you really want to know Helena, I won't lie to you"
"Who are you?"
Just as he was about to answer, Ventroxa, Dinah, and Reese busted through the door.
"Ventroxa, lovely to see you again" said Cole.
Ventroxa put up his hand, about to use his power on Cole. Reese put his arm out to stop him, knowing it would kill Helena too.
Cole then grabbed Helena, as a knife appeared in his hand, he put it towards her, and shimmered (his Meta power) her out of the apartment.
"Helena!" shouted Dinah.
