AN: Sorry for the long time between updates. I'll try to be better about that.
Henry and Will watch from a distance as Magnus finishes the removal of the bullet from Claudia's side. Will looks at Henry and sighs.
"What were you thinking, getting her involved in a retrieval? We had to bring her in and we have no idea who she even is, considering neither of us could find anything about her online."
"I know, but she knew what she was doing. There was no gunshot, and neither of the guys had a gun on them. I'm not sure how she was hurt, but it wasn't from the abnormal."
The door opened ad Magnus walked through holding Claudia's bag.
"Will, can you please try and contact Tesla and ask him to come here?" Will narrows his eyes, but walks off to find the number. Henry turns and meets Magnus's eyes.
"It was a bad decision to get her involved," Henry tries to interrupt but was silenced by a look "however if she was just going to leave after helping you she could have been dead by now, which would make her even more of a mystery, since I found this in a her bag." She holds up a gun made of metal and glass with a coil in the center.
"Uh Doc, it looks like some prop for a cosplay." Magnus smiles and shakes her head.
"It will hopefully be explained soon." She points over to the girl who was slowly waking.
"I think I'll go talk to our Ms. Donovan, while you go process those abnormals with Kate." He shuffled off to the SHU while Magnus passed through the door again.
Claudia gained more consciousness and had noticed the cuffs around her wrists. She began to writhe, trying to maneuver her thin wrists out of the restraints; thoughts of the institution rising in her mind. A tall brunette woman with a lab coat comes in the room, and starts to check the variety of machines that Claudia was attached to, before undoing the wrist cuffs. She rubs her wrists and hunches her shoulders.
"Hello Claudia, I'm Doctor Helen Magnus." Claudia flicks her eyes up and meets the doctors.
"What am I doing here?" She smiled and then sat down crossing her ankles.
"It appears you fainted after helping one of my employees catch an abnormal." Claudia's eyes skewed together, before relaxing gain.
"Oh uh Henry right." Magnus smiles and nods again.
"Ms. Donovan, I need you to tell me what is going on." She holds up the tesla and puts it on the table next to the bed.
"I have no idea what th-"
"It was in your bag along with an extremely encrypted laptop, a passport, and one purple latex glove. So I can make an assumption not to trust you and restrain you again, or you can tell me the whole story. I need to trust the people in this building, and I'm hoping I can trust you." She crosses her legs and looks expectantly at Claudia. Sighing she leans back and begins to speak.
"I work for an agency in the United States that collects and guards-"
"Warehouse 13, I know." Claudia stares at her, but speaks when Magnus gestures to continue.
"Yeah I work at Warehouse 13, and this evil ex-agent decided to come back and enact revenge on the warehouse, and to do so he unbronzed H.G. Wells, but someone else with access had to do and the video tape showed me, even though I didn't do anything. So I ran away."
"But if you didn't remember doing it what other evidence did they have." A voice from the entry had both women turning their heads to see a tall man with glasses.
"My apologies, this is my assistant Dr. Will Zimmerman. Will this is Claudia Donovan." She stayed at him for a few more seconds before answering his question.
"I don't have any other agency training. I hacked my way in, because of a grudge, and they ended up keeping me. Between me and the others, I was the better candidate for betrayal, but I swear I didn't do it."
"Don't you think running incriminates you more? Also Tesla is on his way here. All he asked was for the wine cellar to be stocked." Claudia shifted to glare at him, wincing when she turned her right side.
"Well my flight response has always been more dominant than my fight. And so I ran, and I've been running for about a week. I don't exactly have a place to stay right now."
"Then how did you get shot?" Will fully enters the room and stands across from the bed.
"Well when your good at numbers gambling is a fantastic way of making money. However it also means a higher chance of running into some Russians that you cheated. And these particular Russians had guns."
"Oh good, another thief" Magnus puts her hand on Claudia's shoulder, and gives Will a disapproving look, while Claudia looks like she is about to sock him.
"Claudia you are welcome to stay here. No matter how many times Will may forget this; The Sanctuary is a place of relief for anyone. Now why don't you get some sleep?" Magnus walks to the door pulling Will with her and shuts off some of the lights. Claudia lies down again and tries to get some sleep; the idea of Sanctuary for all rolling around in her head.
