Helen's Confesses Her Twisted Plan

It was still dark when Connor jolted awake so suddenly, he wasn't so sure why. He had had a pleasant dream, he couldn't even remember now. He thought he dreamt that Abbey had been caught too, and that she was here with him and they had kissed for what felt like hours.

Someone made a noise beside him. He glanced down and saw Abbey, still fast asleep. It wasn't a dream she was here beside him, they had kissed yesterday. Abbey moaned in her sleep. Connor crawled over to where she lay, and shook her awake. 'Abbey?' Honey are you alright?' Abbey opened her eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. She sat up and rubbed her eyes. 'Abbey?' Connor said sternly

'I'm alright, bad dream'.

Connor nodded, 'I understand, I kept on having nightmares the first few nights I was away'.

Abbey started to cry. 'Abbey!' Connor didn't know what to do. 'What is it?'

'It's Becker, yesterday when we got here and noticed Helen, she tried to taze us both but Becker jumped in the way and got hit by the two of them'.

'I'm sure Action Man is ok, he's a tough man,' Connor soothed pulling her into his arms. 'I know. I just feel really guilty'. Connor spun Abbey around and said sternly 'Listen to me Abigail Maitland; Hilary Becker is a brave, strong, soldier, he knew when he signed up for the job, he was going to get into dangerous spots. Well this is one of them. You have no reason to feel guilty, do you hear me'. Abbey nodded and buried her face into his chest. He kissed the top of her head gently and held her for a while.

They were still holding each other when they heard the sound of keys in the lock. They both looked up when the door burst open. 'Well isn't this a beautiful scene'. Connor stood up leaving Abbey, red eyed and blotchy on the floor. He walked in front of her and faced Helen. 'What do you want, Helen?' he asked bravely. He didn't feel brave at all; he just didn't want Abbey to see him scared of Helen. 'Isn't it obvious, I want you Connor'? 'Why? What for?' Now he was getting nervous, he knew Helen wanted him for a trap on the others, but she never mentioned anything about needing him for something. 'What if I refuse?'

'Then you get watch Captain, Die and Barbie over there suffer'. Connor gasped. He looked over at Abbey who stared back sadly. She knew he would never do anything on purpose to put her in danger. She got to her feet and stood beside him. 'Go. I'll be fine,' she whispered into his ear. Connor stared at her.

'I will not leave you in here alone. I won't'.

'Connor you don't have much of a choice.' Connor saw her eyes getting teary again. He watched them fall which made it harder for him to go. He took her in his own and said 'I will come back I promise'. He gave her a hug and kissed her good bye for now. 'No point giving promises you can't keep Connor,' Helen smirked. She grabbed his shoulder and pulled him away from Abbey. There hands slipped out of each others reach. 'Hurry up lover boy'. Connor looked back to see Abbey standing where he left her sad eyed and scared, just as the door swung closed.

Connor was pushed up the stairs until they reached the main area. The room was quit big, there were Helens minions every where. In the centre of the room was the anomaly. It was huge, bigger than Connor had ever seen before. Beside the anomaly was Becker. He was sitting on a wooden chair his left hand cuffed to the chair arm. He saw Connor watching him and motioned for him to come. Looking around to see if anyone was watching him, Helen was busy talking with one of her men and most of the others had disappeared. He walked over to Becker and sat on the floor. Up close he looked awful, His hair was greasy and covered in blood, he had a puffy lip, a black eye and a long gash running along his shoulder to his elbow.

'Jesus, Action Man you look awful'. He grinned trying not to panic

'Nice to see you're alright temple'.

'No, I'm terrified. Helen wants me for something and she's threatening to kill you and Abbey if I don't do it'. He could hear the panic in his own voice.

'Connor, listen to me, do not panic. Lester Knows we went after Helen he'll come find us. I promise'.

'I hope you're right'.

'Hold on to hope kid. It's all we have now'. Becker said. Connor could hear the fear in his voice now.

'Becker I –.' He didn't get to finish his sentence because Helen had snuck up behind them and grabbed him by the ear. 'Get up Temple, now'. Connor obeyed and followed her to the table where the artefact sat, there were a lot of wire and junk that covered most of the table. 'Now Connor I need you to build me something, something that can destroy man kind in one go?' Connor looked stunned. 'You want to destroy humanity?'

'I've seen what's happened to this once beautiful planet Connor and I want to put a stop to it, now build a device that can erase the past, by a push of a button.'

'Helen we don't have the technology for that'. Becker chuckled from the corner. 'Connor for someone with your brains, you can be incredibly dumb sometimes'.

'Shut it Becker,' shouted Helen. 'Connor I took it from the future'.

'You,' she said pointing to one man guarding the entrance, 'Bring the girl here'.

Connor looked at Helen, who had an evil grin on her face. 'NOOOO!' he shouted. 'Helen you promised you wouldn't hurt her'.

'I made no such promise,' she smirked.
