Dr. Helen Magnus

Helen had spent the last several months going back and forth between the new facilities and the strange pocket universe she'd found with Nikola which had proven particularly enlightening. There were any number of infinite paths from that crossroads and it was something she had not been able to get a handle on scientifically just as yet.

Then again, science that was yet unexplained was merely magic, was it not? She had thought so as a child, until her father had taught her otherwise. All she had to do was keep exploring, keep pushing through each and every door until she found the key to cracking the mystery behind how it all worked. Of course, the legwork on this was exhausting but at least she had Nikola she could implore for help.

One of the doors she'd found in her wanderings had been one that was her own London back in the late 1800s. She was blonde there, as she'd discovered by gazing into a very dingy looking glass, but other than that, none of the rest of the Five seemed to be there. Her life was established, her home in the same place, just the people weren't the same. It was curious, to say the least, and she wondered what might happen if she pulled Nikola through the same door.

To that end, she'd gone back to the Nexus to find him, poking around until she found the library. A likely choice; Nikola had ever loved to read with a nice glass of wine.

"Nikola! I've a project for you, if you care to come with me. Hmm? I'll make it worth your while, I promise."

Helen thought it was just as well that she'd found the bottle of Source Blood in the clinic instead of at home or some place even remotely public and she'd kept it in her own Vet's Office since then, not wanting anyone to stumble upon it. In theory, it should be rendered inert by the island's own special qualities but Helen couldn't be too careful with such a valuable, yet dangerous object.

She dashed off quick notes to both John and Nikola, requesting they meet her in the vet's office after the day was done and once Granby and Sam and all the rest had cleared out, Helen paced the floors and waited. Walking was easier on her back most of the time and, well, there was always the chance she might not get out of a chair if she got in it.

Once she heard the door swing in, she motioned them inside. "Come on, then, shut the door and lock it. I've got something important to discuss and I don't want eavesdroppers."

Helen was, honestly, quite nervous about what she had to do but before she started showing and the island at large found out, she needed to tell John she was pregnant. It wouldn't be fair to John for him to find out through a third party and Helen had more respect for him and their burgeoning friendship to allow that to happen.

She still didn't want to go alone, though, and she thought Nikola the best choice to tag along. Nikola had known John just as long as she and, unlike Will, wasn't the baby's father. The last thing Helen wanted was any ill consequence on Will's part.

She met Nikola just outside his own hut to make the trek out to see John and, predictably, he was late.

"Nikola, come on."
