Helen picked up her mobile outside the lab she had been working with Nada, she quickly dialled a number.
"Annabeth" A voice answered.
"Annabeth, thank god you answered" Helen replied.
The girl groaned, "Now I wish I didn't"
"You'll want to hear this trust me" Helen replied.
"I'm still very angry at you for killing my granddaughter" Annabeth replied, she had a Latin accent, a very old Latin "What is it you wish for me to know?"
"Nikola had a daughter"
"I know about Nada Tesla if that is what you're getting at, Helen"
"That's not it, I was doing a physical, and she has amazing healing properties" Helen explained.
That made Annabeth pause, "Only Vampires with a lot of Vampiric blood can heal within the scope of a second"
"And that's why I called you" Helen smiled.
"Be there tomorrow" She hung up.
Helen smirked and put the phone down before the seriousness of the situation came back to her.
Helen had called a staff meeting to alert the team that Annabeth would be arriving today.
Henry was the last to arrive, "So what's going on Doc?" He asked.
"I have a visitor and she's not to be messed with at the best of times" Helen explained, "She's here to help me with Nada's Vampire problem, so to speak. She's very outgoing and happens to have a rather large reputation"
"What's she got to do with it?" Kate asked, "I thought no-one knew about the Vampires existing except you"
"She's the best and the only expert on this topic"
"A Vampologist?" Will asked.
"Amongst other things" Helen thought of the woman that was going to grace them with her presence.
"I'm offended"
The all jumped and turned to the sound of the voice. There was Annabeth in all her glory, perched on top of Helen's desk. She was wearing a white singlet with pearl buttons going down the front and a leather jacket, her legs were clad by skin tight black jeans and her feet with 4 inch criss-crossed heels that looked impossible to walk in. She was blonde with cheeky blue eyes that were exactly the same as Helen's. Her blonde bangs were swept to the side and her mouth was curled into the same small smirk that Helen's did. Her legs were crossed elegantly and she had one of Helen's Bourbon glass set on her knee, the fingers of her right hand wrapped around.
Helen stood and crossed her arms, "By which part, no doubt you've been sitting there the whole time?"
"Well, all of it" She smirked and shrugged, "Oh, and you forgot to add self-entitled bitch as you so gallantly called me the last time we gathered"
"You did earn the title" Helen replied.
"Yes, that may be true" She took a sip of her drink, "But" She slipped off the desk, "You had no right to tell it to me as my husband's funeral, now did you?" She raised her eyebrows in question.
"No" Helen admitted, "I agree that was low of me"
"You finally admitted it" Annabeth rolled her eyes and downed her drink, "I was wrong there is a god"
Helen turned to her team, "Annabeth this is Will Zimmerman, Kate Freelander and a much older version of Henry Foss" She introduced, "Team, this is Annabeth Griffin"
"I remember you" Annabeth said as she shook Henry's hand, "He was the boy I saved from being bitten?" She glanced at Helen.
"Correct" Helen nodded.
"Interesting" Annabeth nodded, "Now, Helen, where is Nada?"
"Down stairs infirmary" Helen replied.
"I'm not going to run into Nikola, am I?"
"No, definitely not" Helen replied.
"Good, the last time I saw him, I shot him"
"Don't worry, as did I" Helen smirked and then frowned, "Your being oddly civil"
Annabeth glanced at her as they stopped in front of the elevator, "Realise that did you?" She smirked, "Well, I believe in clarity amongst species . . . or ex-species as it applies to you, my little ex-Vampire" She smiled, her eyes glittering in a malicious way.
"You're here to ruin my life, aren't you?" Helen asked.
"I think I've already accomplished that, wouldn't you agree?" Annabeth asked.
Helen glared at her.
"I'm guessing you guys don't have the nicest past?" Will interrupted.
"Not nice in any way possible" Annabeth replied, her eyes still on Helen.
"Nada's through there" Helen gestured to the door that they has approached.
"Thank you" Annabeth pushed the door open and entered confidently.
