Nikola Tesla emerged from the library, he looked over to his left and said, "Oh Helen, just the lady I needed to see, the thing is-" He stopped mid-sentence when the lady turned around, as soon as he saw her face, he embraced her in a hug. "Isabella! I thought you were dead, why did you leave me?" He said still hugging her, but his voice was full of sadness.
She wrapped her arms around him when he hugged her, "Nikola," she said his name as she was sure the moment would not last long, she was so relieved she finally got to see him again, especially after what she had been through. "It's a very long story and it's not a pleasant one, can you forgive me? Are you mad at me?" She said on the verge of tears, she looked up at him for the answer.
"Bella I could never be mad at you, of course I forgive you!" Nikola said as a couple of tears escaped Isabella eyes and he brushed them away with his thumb. He caressed her cheek in his hand, he bent down a little a placed gentle kiss of forehead as if she were about to break, and by looks of it she might.
"I've missed you incredibly Nikola," she leaned into his chest. Minutes passed and she had stopped crying. "You needed to see Helen?" She asked as she saw a folder that he had dropped on the floor.
"Yes," He bent down and picked up the folder, "Do you want to come with me?" He took her hand in his and kissed the back of her hand, then let them fall down to their sides and they entwined their fingers.
"I need to go anyway; she got the test results back, and wanted to talk to me." She stopped out the front of Helen's office door and turned to him. She look into his eyes, "Nikola, th-they did something to me, I can feel it inside me as if a switch has been flicked on and it's starting to make something happen to me, and maybe Helen's test results will tell me, but I don't know who did it, and they did lots of things to me, I used to have bruises all over my body from torture and other stuff like that." She blinked back the tears. "Anyway I just wanted to ask you if me you still feel the same about me? After all the time I was kept away from society... and you?"
"Silly girl, of course I do. Saying you want world domination is apparently quite a good cover for looking for someone you lost..." He kissed her gently but passionately on the lips.
"Sorry am I interrupting?" The voice suddenly made them spring apart like a teenage couple that had been caught by parents.
"I-I-I, um... Helen good evening... How much did you hear?" Nikola said still shocked.
"Well from about the time you got to my door I reckon. Lovely to know you're not an actual threat to the world Nikola," she grinned teasingly. She turned to Isabella, who was standing a meter and a half away from Tesla now, and hugged her tightly. "I'm so sorry about earlier, I was just going over some of dad's journals, and how you were on the verge of death... That's why he needed some more of my blood, so you could live. I was sure you died in that explosion" She was about to release Isabella, but her sister wrapped her arms around Helen and hugged back equally as tight. They both released each other after a long hug. "Now both of you please come in," she gestured for them to enter and sit on the couch opposite her desk and computer. A curious smile came onto her face, but in her eyes there was a mischievous gleam, "Oh and do you mind explaining why I just saw you two kissing outside my door?"
"How about after we see the test results and my list of what Wolf Boy and I need for upgrading the EM shield?" Nikola replied not wanting to have that conversation with Helen. He knew how much fun it would be for her and well, who wants to explain to a lady why you were just kissing her little sister?
"Very well, Isabella you obviously got the longevity from me so that's why it's in your blood, but there's something else. It's too early to tell what these are, they're definitely abnormal, but these cells are too young to determine what they are, so we will keep an eye on them." She finished with the blood work and went on to checking her emails and found the new one Kate sent her, "Nikola, Kate has the picture of the cabal agent who is trying to continue their work," she turned the computer screen round so they could all see it.
Isabella screamed at who she saw in the picture, and she ran from the room.
