K so thank you all!
Poems
Nikola rummaged through the kitchen shelves, taking out all the drinks he could find.
He was bored. The love of his life was hiding behind a barred door and he was going to get her to stop hiding there. It would be perfectly easy to woo her out of there, he thought in his state of mind. "Helen, helen, where do you keep those drinks... Where is that wine?" He had forgotten that it was kept down in the cellar.
He pulled Henry's apple juice out of the fridge, some coffee out and Helen's tea but still couldn't find his wine. And he couldn't think how to enchant her with himself so that she would come out.
He briefly went into a reverie, picturing her face over and over again. Something wasn't quite right in his pictures of her, it might have been the fact she had pink bows in her hair.
Suddenly, he remembered she had a wine cellar. He scratched his head, wondering why his sweet and pure Helen would be drinking wine. Didn't she spend most of her time brushing her hair in frilly dresses? Something was definitely wrong, he thought vaguely.
He ran down the stairs, Helen briefly poking her head out of the cupboard after he ran past her.
Nikola took a swig of wine and then he had an idea. He grinned and ran back upstairs, writing on a piece of paper and tucking it under the bottle of wine, which he drank once more from.
Then, he promptly collapsed to the floor.

"Well, it looks like the abnormal has left his body." Helen said briefly after examining him in the lab.
He slowly blinked his eyes open. "H-helen?" he asked weakly. Some hazy pink bows seemed to float in her hair.
She rolled her eyes and left Will to explain what had happened, a bad decision on her part. She walked down the stairs and tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear. There was an open bottle of wine on the table. I really need that, she thought. Having Nikola Tesla in love with you normally was enough stress, but when it was a love potion things got out of control.
She remembered hiding in the cupboard as he ran open.
"Helen! Helen-y helen!" He called out.
"Come out!"
"If I can't have you no one will!"
"Okay, okay, I was kidding... please come out?"
"Pretty please?"
"You're playing hard to get."
"Go to dinner with me?"
"I won't have you as dinner!"
"You won't be able to resist me if I growl."
"What if I bear my teeth?"
"I'll sing!"
"Please don't sing, Nikola."
"I've got it!"
As she stared at the table under the wine bottle, she suddenly dropped the bottle. It cracked into several pieces on the floor and it went everywhere.
Under the wine bottle, there was a piece of paper.
Blood is red
After you leave I'm blue
I'm really cool
And so are you
It wasn't that he had written a poem for her, although that was shocking enough. It was that the abnormal had transferred to Nikola... to the bottle of wine...
"Nicky!" she squealed.
