![]() portrayed by |
I was born and raised in Sleepy Hollow, New York. It's an actual village - as in not a town, not a burgh, but a freakin' village, in New York. Most people seem to forget there's anything in New York besides the city, but then again, only lit nerds and a few select fans of Depp's flicks from the 90's might know it. Headless Horseman and all that. Yippee.
So anyway, yeah. Born and raised in a village of about 10,000 people, my dad was a car salesman and my mom was a teacher at Sleepy Hollow Elementary. Ever since I was a little kid, my mom's had this spectacular green thumb. She loved plants and had an award winning garden. People used to come and photograph it for magazines and her her classroom is filled with growing things. My mother took comfort in the garden, especially after she and Dad decided they were going to seperate. I personally think she considered putting belladonna in his morning coffee, especially after she heard about how he was dating one of the showroom girls. I stayed with my mom, because I'd always been closer to her, anyway.
After the bomb went off, people seemed really inclined to turn on each other. You'd think that a bunch of Sleepy Hollow house wives would have something better to do than get bitchy at my mom because she manages to have her tulips bloom when theirs fail. Except Mrs. Cassidy just /had/ to mention Dad's affair, and when it got her upset, and when that happened - well, let's just say that there was some unexpected and hostile greenery sprouting up. Things got violent, and things didn't end well for my mom. No charges were pressed. I don't even know which of those bitches managed to get so close with the gardening shears, but it's now become one of those town secrets that everyone knows but no one talks about.
I didn't have a choice, I had to go live with my father. I hadn't exhibited any abilities, but I was still pretty miserable with my dad. I felt spied on, like he was constantly looking to see if I was like mom. The last thing he wanted was a freak for a daughter. Eventually he seemed to relax about it, which meant it was time for him to drop a bomb of his own. He'd decided to marry his showroom girl, the one who was less than a decade older than me. I guess that's what pushed me over the edge.
My dad, sensitive guy that he is, decided that the evening after my mom's funeral was the right time for me to hear the news about his wedding plans. Yeah, he's a real sensitive guy. We had a screaming fight, and I took off in the car. Even though it was night time, I went to the park and ran until the air was burning in my lungs. I was crying my head off as thunder started to rumble, and when I cranked back my head to just let it all out, it started to rain. And I just stood there and let the water pour down. Gradually, I began to calm, and as I did…so did the rain. I knew. I /knew/ that it was me, and I also knew that if anyone found out, I would be shipped off like my mom. My only choice was to get out and get away.
I laid low for a few days, playing possum at dad's place, being the docile daughter he pretty much took for granted. He really didn't seem to notice that I was being so calm about things. At least, I'm sure until he discovered the afternoon when I didn't come home. That's because I'd grabbed some stuff, depleted my bank account, and bought myself a ticket to New York City.
I know, who in their right mind goes there? But the truth was, I'd heard a lot of Evolved were congregating there, especially those that weren't too keen on the government. I managed to get myself a cheap place that was barely a one room and a toilet, and got a job at a local fast food place. I watched and I waited, knowing one day I'd be in the right place at the right time…I'm going to revenge my mother, and I'm going to help make sure no one else has to lose their mom, their dad, or anyone else they love just because of their genes.
Weather Control
To put it simply, Helena is capable of controlling the weather. She can alter an area from being a hot summer day to falling snow in as small as a few feet, which is a relatively easy task, or as large as the burrough of Manhattan, which is considerably more difficult, takes more time, and definitely nose-bleed inducing. Helena's weather controlling gifts do not take on a 'butterfly effect', on a large scale, as weather phenomenon she creates at large will restore themselves into normal, proper patterns once she has released control of the effect. However, certain smaller effects she can manage will lend themselves to permanancy until they are effected by natural weather and wind patterns. She has a natural sense for how the weather's going to be in her general area, and can also control individual aspects of weather phenomena.
Weather Witch
Helena can sense the weather and predict it in a limited fashion. It's a bit more productive then having a knee that aches when it's going to rain, though. It's a feeling she gets. "Benevolent" weather produces a good feeling - that's anything of a moderate, temperate climate, such as a nice, sunny day, a moderate snowfall, or a fresh spring rain. More violent or unnatural weather such as storms, tonadoes, monsoons, and dangerous heat waves fill her with a sense of dread. Helena's reaction to the weather can affect her mood. She can forecast weather ahead by about a fortnight, though she is limited as far as range. Predicting that snowfall in two weeks for New York City is definitely in her capacity; predicting a rain fall in Seattle or a tornado in Oklahoma is not.
Misty For Me
Helena can generate mist, as light as can be found on an Irish morning, or as thick as as a London fog. The thicker the fog and the wider her range, the more time it takes to develop. Naturally this can effect people's capacity to see what they're doing, and it's a great means of cover for an opportunity to escape a bad situation. Helena's mist is one of her capabilities that is permanent - at least until it is burned off by the sun, or swept away by the wind. Once it has been created she can't really control it, but she can always make more.
Thunderclap
Moving the right type of charged air flows together ennables Helena to create a thunderclap in her immediate area. It'll deafen anyone wihin about about fifty feet of her in any direction, and since that includes her too, it's likewise not something she'll do very often, though it can make a decent enough distraction when necessary. It's been known to startle folks, set off fire alarms, and set people's ears ringing, and since Helena has no way to focus it other than to make the general BOOM, it's a capability she utilizes sparingly.
Wind Control
Generating normal wind is pretty easy. She can rustle up a spring breeze with nary a thought, and with concentration and a bit of time, generate hurricane force winds. This effect really only works for her immediate of roughly one hundred feet, and she really has no means of fine manipulation at all. It's a sweeping effect, anyone who's caught in it is going to have to deal with it, though she can at least maneuver her winds in the general direction she wants it to go.

Appendices
Skills
Burn Notice Barbie
Helena's put a lot of time into learning a little something about this sort of work. To begin with, there is a shocking amount of material available in libraries with regard to CIA protocols for surveillence, intelligence, and espionage, and Helena's made a point of reading up. Throw in even more tutorials on tactics, strategy, and mission planning from the likes of Hana, Claude, and Conrad just to name a few.
Face Of Phoenix Barbie
Call it a knack for leadership, call it charisma, for whatever reason, people seem inclined to continue to listen to Helena for some crazy reason. Whatever it is, she at least has it in raw form, enough to keep Phoenix together; enough so that when Phoenix videos pop up on Youtube, people keep watching and listening to what she has to say. However, charisma and earnestness only carry you so far, and Helena's still got a lot to learn. She lacks subtlty and often gropes for the right thing to say when in more intimate, person-to-person situations, often lacking diplomacy that comes with maturity and experience.
Garden Party Barbie
Helena's mom Evelyn was an award winning gardener, and Helena has definitely learned a thing or two about creating and maintaining a garden herself. It's not something she's particularly interested in, but it's a skill she's got and hey, her abilities certainly provide her a way to make sure anything she plants will flourish.
High School Sucks Barbie
Helena has had a pretty decent upper middle class high school education, which provides her a general knowledge of traditional academic subjects including English, math, science, social studies, history, basic PC use, and two years of Spanish that she mostly slept through.
Get Your Groove On Barbie
Helena's a decent singer and dancer. She took ballet as a kid, and has sung in a couple of talent shows. She's not particularly interested in being an entertainer, but could concievably win a karaoke contest and won't embarrass herself on the dance floor at a club.
Psychic Defense Barbie
While Helena has no Evolved ability that allows her to resist psychic invasion, the combination of Peter Petrelli's casual and careless scans of her mind, techniques learned from Claude Rains in how to resist, ample time in Moab spent with nothing more to do than meditate, and the continued psychic invasion of her mind by Agent Verse have provided Helena with the means to make it more difficult (but not impossible) for her mind to be probed and influenced. If she is aware of the invasion, she can and will employ any technique in her arsenal, whether it's visualizing a wall, repeatedly singing ABBA lyrics, or using physical stimulus to keep herself alert. On one occasion her subconscious even triggered a thought-form that expelled Agent Verse from her mind, however that has only happened once and may never happen again.
Rev Your Engine Barbie
Helena's father is a car salesman, and though she's not a car nut, she can pretty much drive anything on four wheels, whether it's an auto or a stick shift. She's also had lessons from Elvis in how to drive a motorcycle. As to maintenance, she knows more than the average person, like changing her tire and checking and changing her oil. Under Conrad's supervision she's also learned how to hotwire a car.
Smack My Bitch Up Barbie
Initially Helena's self-defense training was nothing more than scrappy, messy fighting with an emphasis on being able to run away, learned from her time as a runaway on the streets of New York and later by accepting any techniques or moves that members of PARIAH were willing to teach her, along with some simple lessons in the principle of how to point a gun and shoot it. Since then, she's received instruction from Hana, whose Mossad training focuses on Krav Maga techniques, and Claude, whose favorite pasttime is beating on his students with sticks, which Helena in turn learned to use out of necessity. The end result is that she still primarily fights to get away, or if necessary, try to put down her opponent as swiftly as possible. She can be expected to hold her own in a street fight or a prison yard brawl, but a seasoned professional can put her on the floor with relative ease.
Top Chef Barbie
Helena knows how to cook. Her mom's garden has given her a knack for spices, and after her mom died and before her dad got re-married, Helena was the one making sure that dinner was put on the table. It's not like it's hard - anyone can follow recipe instructions, right? Actually, cooking is something Helena enjoys, but these days she doesn't exactly have access to gourmet ingredients. Uh oh, Spaghetti-Oh's!

See Helena Dean's Log Archive for 2008 and January to May 2009 Logs.
| Alec - It's not that Helena denies that Alec is a huge asset to Phoenix. But he's got to be one of the most smug, self-important bastards Helena's ever met. She trusts in his expertise and willingness to help, and tries not to let other aspects of his personality drive her batty. He's good to have at your back, and really good at making things go boom. For someone so long lived and experienced, she finds his opinion on the use of violence to be rather naive. | |
| Brian - When Helena first met Brian, she thought he was crazy. Time spent has made her realize that yes, Brian is a little crazy, but also well-intentioned, honest, and a man of faith. He cares for her like a sister, and she bears a good amount of guilt for the murder of one of his replicants after one of Peter's replicants murdered him. Helena believed him to be dead after Arthur attacked the Lighthouse, but he showed up at Cat's door. During the op at Pinehearst, some of his behavior led him to believe he may not be who he says he is. | |
| Cat - When Helena first met Cat, she was a rival for Peter's affections, and intimidated the hell out of Helena because of how accomplished she is. Now, she couldn't ask for a better friend. Cat is fiercely dedicated to Phoenix's cause, helping to hold down the fort while Helena was in the future, and even her future self helped Helena unquestioningly - well, maybe with a few questions. Cat's ability means she remembers everything, and doesn't always process things that are emotional in ways that others can understand. It's easy to mistake her for being cool and unemotional, and many people do. But Cat and Helena have gone through a lot together, and Helena knows better. | |
| Cook - Helena met Cook in an Irish pub in Brooklyn while waiting for a supply contact to show up. He started eating bottle caps - not just swallowing them, but actually eating them. She got the idea that he's a really smart guy who makes a great show of being a pisser. She thinks he needs a cause. So she gave him the initial recruitment speech, and managed to sink her hooks in. Cook's injuries during the Pinehearst op were so severe Helena felt massively guilty, to the point of appealing to Claire to assist in regenerating Cook's leg. Cook doesn't seem to hold it against Helena - in fact, it seems like it would never occur to him to think about doing so. | |
| Delilah - Delilah's bright and sweet and energetic and full of life. Helena isn't all that much older than her, but sees the youthful version of herself in the redhead. She's willing to everything from sweep a safehouse floor to run out and do tagging to get involved in some pretty dangerous stuff. Helena has a lot of respect for her, which increased tenfold when Delilah unloaded an entire clip of bullets into the 2019 version of Edward Ray. She's aware that Delilah will eventually need to deal with that, and hopes she can be of some help when the time comes. | |
| Diego - Diego's the sort of guy who only turns up when you really need him. He has his own security firm, and an awesome dog named Capone who charms Helena on a regular basis. His skills, contacts, and resources are very useful to Phoenix, but he can be somewhat unreliable. | |
| Elisabeth - Helena's nickname for Gillian is Chicken Little, because every time Phoenix is faced with a new crisis, Elisabeth is the first one to go on about how totally screwed they are. Elisabeth's connections in law enforcement are exceedingly useful, and Liz herself has been known to provide helpful intelligence from the inside on several occasions. Helena is friendly with her, and has elected to move her into a position of more authority within Phoenix. | |
| Gillian - Gillian seems to have swapped her interest in Gabriel for an interest in Peter. This is only made worse by the fact that Helena has witnessed a possible future where Gillian and Peter are married. Suffice to say, Helena tries very hard not to escalate things. The fact that Gillian seemed rather central to destroying Pinehearst gives Helena reason enough to keep her emotions in check. As long as Gillian and Helena are in accord over their goals, things seem alright, but battle lines are clearly drawn when it comes to their mutual object of affection. One thing can be held against Helena: she's neglected to mention that in the future she went to, Gillian and Peter had a child. This will undoubtedly bite Helena in the ass later. | |
| Leonard - Leonard is really Alexander Jesse Knight, after having been morphed by Dr. Sal Silvatti. It's a little difficult for Helena to resolve his new face to the person she knows, but she's trying. If Helena's the velvet glove, than Leonard is the iron fist, unafraid to do what's brutal and necessary to get the job done. On at least one occasion he's gone too far. He and Helena were prisoners together in Moab, both tortured by Agent Verse, a shared experience which has brought them closer to each other. He was also previously Lucrezia's lover and is in love with Teo. | |
| Mona - A former friend of Danielle's, Mona was vetted for Phoenix by Cat. She is a media expert, which is very good for Phoenix, but she is also a telepath, which Helena is deeply uncomfortable with. She has not yet gotten to know Mona personally, in part because there's been no time, but also because of her growing distaste for telepaths. | |
| "Sergei" - Helena is one of the few people in Phoenix who know Norton Trask's real name and what he does - did - for a living. His ability is both incredibly useful and incredibly inconvenient at the same time. During their time in the future, Trask was assigned to Elle as her guard dog, and wound up as her lover. Suffice to say, Helena's trust and respect for Norton has taken a significant nose dive. He's thus far continued to act in the best interest of the group, but it's only a matter of time until Elle screws him in a not-so-fun way, and possibly Phoenix too on the reach-around. | |
| Teo - Something more than a brother, and something less than a lover. Helena's intimacy with Teo seems to rest in sharing the burden of her secrets with him. He knows a good deal about the future she's seen, particularly the details of her death, which he is vehemently intent on preventing. She asked him to lead Phoenix and he did, but now that she's back, she's trying to pick up the reins. His love life is bemusing to her. |
| Abby - Abby is one of those people that Helena both adores and sometimes wants to throttle. She used to be a healer, but now isn't anymore; Helena's not really certain why. But Abby's been known to offer shelter to Helena when she simply needed time away from everything, and there's no doubt that Abby will continue to play a part in everything going on. | |
| Ben - Helena's schoolyard crush on Ben seems to have resolved into something a bit closer to quiet respect and friendship for him. She is less bothered by his seemingly contrary nature than she used to be, and equally less concerned about gaining his approval, which may be why they might wind up getting along much better. | |
| Bennet - Helena has no idea why Claire is estranged from her father. The man has moved heaven and earth to make sure she is safe, and if Helena's father cared about her half as much, maybe she wouldn't have felt the need to run away in the first place. It's likely that Helena ascribes too much to what she builds Noah up as in her head rather than who he is, but the co-leader of the Ferrymen takes her seriously and responds when needed, which is as much as she can ask for. Also, he's kind of a bad-ass. | |
| Cardinal - Helena is completely unaware of the level of contempt that Cardinal holds for her and for Phoenix in general. It's true that she lied to him about who she was when they met, but she also apologized to him for it. She blithely assumes he continues to remain an ally…which may or may not be true. | |
| Claude - Claude was once Peter's teacher, and now he is Helena's. His lessons included how to better utilize her ability, physical combat, and how to develop the mental acumen to resist telepathic invasion. Helena is terribly fond of Claude, but doesn't do so too openly since it makes him uncomfortable. He seemed surprisingly touched when she built him a pigeon coop on the roof of one of their old safehouses. Without Claude's training, Helena would not have managed to hold out against Verse for as long as she did. | |
| Deckard - Another one that Helena's not to sure of. Everything she's been told about him suggests he's a mercenary, but when she tried to offer him payment to heal someone, he refused it. He also once tried to narc on her and other Phoenix members, and though Helena doesn't hold it against him exactly - she does keep it in mind. In the future there was something going on between him and Abby, which is just wierd. He currently has Abby's ability, and may or may not give it up. | |
| Delphine - Delphine is the panacea that cures those who've had their abilities stolen. She has been gracious and generous in helping others, and in turn Helena has done as much as she can to accomodate her. She respects Delphine enormously and is grateful for her help. | |
| Eve - Eve drives Helena crazy. She treats everything like it's a game and has no sense of discretion when it comes to keeping her mouth shut. So Helena does her best to be civil to the woman, keeping in mind that she still tries to help Phoenix by reporting on her prophetic dreams, but the fact that Eve is responsible for saving Helena's life at least once makes her irrationally angry to think about too often. | |
| Fedor - Helena finds Air Chicago to be an exceedingly useful resource. Fedor has some fairly grand ideas though, and Helena's really not inclined to incorporate Phoenix into his vision. | |
| Grace - One of the high ranking members of the Ferrymen, Grace runs the Hangar, one of the safehouses. Helena doesn't know her terribly well, but is confidant of her loyalty to the cause. | |
| Hana - If there was one woman that Helena could claim to be her role-model, it would be Hana. Mission planning, strategy, and combat techniques are just some of the things Hana has taught her. Helena considers Hana to be an essential part of the Ferrymen/Phoenix network, and without her things would fall apart really fast. Helena's a lot tougher as a person because of Hana's influence, and she would have been victimized badly in the Moab prison yard without her training. | |
| Hiro - Helena and Hiro have only met briefly, but the man's a legend. Even though he's not directly affiliated with Phoenix, his goals and their goals seem to align beautifully. Whenever his help is offered, Helena is ready and willing to accept it. | |
| Holly - Holly is an online news reporter and blogger that Helena and Cat got in contact with to provide an interview that was then broadcast on the internet. They didn't tackle all the hard-hitting issues Helena wanted to address, but it was a good start, and Holly's sympathies are useful to have on Phoenix's side. | |
| Knox - Knox is bad ass and cool and maybe a little hot under the collar when he gets his adrenaline going, but that might be expected considering his ability. Helena is oddly fond of him. | |
| Minea - Minea just sort of dropped out of the sky with boatloads of information about the Company which could bring them down utterly, and seems to have done the trick. She's a former Company agent herself, and kind of bad-ass in a similar way to Hana. | |
| R.Ajas - Helena doesn't know who he really is, but she knows he's trying to help. Something about him seems very earnest and young. | |
| Rickham - Helena's never quite gotten over the sting of betrayal she felt when Rickham abandoned his presidency. She's come to him for help on how to be a political leader, but he seems convinced in the inevitable failure of Phoenix's efforts. Not to mention Helena got really creeped out when he suggested she attend Columbia. | |
| Sal - Helena is one of a few people who knows that "Sal" is really Sonny Bianco, the son of the mayor of New York City, and a doctor able to change people's faces and bodies so that they can become someone entirely new. He's Teo's ex-lover, which puts him in some contention with Leonard over Teo's affections. He's stepped back from Phoenix and returned to the Ferrymen, an action that Helena supports. |
| Claire - In the old PARIAH days, one could argue that Helena, Claire, and Claire's boyfriend West were something akin to the Three Musketeers. Claire and Helena were what might be termed BFFs in a very high school sort of way. Helena was fond of borrowing (stealing) Claire's clothes. Claire's anger management issues were rather broad - her family, the Company, and when Helena started getting involved with Peter, Claire got severely squicked. A huge schism formed between Claire and Helena when Claire chose to stay with the more terrorist inclined PARIAH rather than joining Phoenix. Since then, they've dropped out of touch. | |
| Colette - Though they got off to a bad start, Colette and Helena seem to have come around to finding their way to friendship. Colette reminds Helena so much of herself; young, a little afraid, but wanting to do what's right. She's seen the sort of woman Colette can become, and she believes that she is well on her way to being "totally awesome". | |
| Django - Helena met Django at Moab. He got sent there for stealing, and despite being streetwise, he's sort of naive when it comes to the big picture. He and Helena bonded over music, singing to each other in the prison yard, and were both sent to the future. The revelation of his death in 2011 has led him to rethink his purpose in life. Helena hopes to make that purpose Phoenix. | |
| West - Despite the fact that Helena is still pissed at him, there's simply too much history between them for Helena to not call West a friend. When he was dating Claire, the three of them were a closely knit group during in their PARIAH days. His betrayal during the schism hurt Helena deeply, though she suspects his tail is somewhat tucked between his legs given that PARIAH has been disbanded and Phoenix, to date, remains a presence. He could be doing a lot more with his current journalism job, but is probably trying not to draw attention to himself. So yes, while she still considers him a friend, Helena hopes that birds poop on him. |
| Aaron - A psychic vampire. Who knew? Helena sang Waterloo for him and came away feeling incredibly happy. If she didn't know he was Evolved, she'd chalk it up to the well documented cheering up effect that is the result of listening to any form of Scandinavian pop music. | |
| Candy - Candy was a fellow Moab prisoner whom Helena only knew for a short time after the woman got transferred to a lower level. Cat had been sheltering her, but then Candy made a very unwise public appearance supporting the agenda of Humanis First. Upon discovery, she was turned out of Cat's safehouse. Helena trusts her about as far as she could throw her. | |
| Hokuto - This woman is amazing. Simply amazing. When Helena was desperately full of questions, it was Hokuto and her cards who provided answers. And what's more, the answers made sense. | |
| Satoru - Satoru was a fellow prisoner in Moab. Helena is unaware that he is presently on Staten Island and associated with John Logan, but she may eventually find out… | |
| Tamara - While the future 2019 version of Tamara made a lot more sense to Helena, 2009 Tamara is completely incomprehensible. Helena simply doesn't know how to understand the woman's language, no matter how many episodes of Firefly she watches. |
| Adam - If Adam wants to refer to Phoenix as the "Scooby Gang" and continue to underestimate them, Helena is perfectly content to let him. However, she's aware of his complicity with regards to the Shanti Virus and the efforts of the Vanguard under Volken, so she doesn't intend to play ball with him. Phoenix will however, stay out of his way until and unless he does something that provokes response. | |
| Elle - Bitch. There is grudge match between Helena and Elle of epic proportions, and one day there will be the mother of smack downs between these two women. Elle tried to kill Helena not once, but twice. Helena rather cruelly held back important information from Elle, and was completely disgusted to discover Elle had seduced one of her most trustworthy people, but made up for it by trying to help her. Because Helena made a genuine effort, despite a lack of success, they presently have a truce. But is it hate at first sight? Oh, yeah. | |
| Ethan - Ethan needs to die in a fire. The fact that she had to work with him even tangentially to defeat Arthur sticks in her craw, though she understands it was necessary. One day he's going to pay for all the hurt he's caused. | |
| Kaylee - Helena doesn't know her name, but she knows that a) she's a member of Adam's crew and b) she's a telepath. Helena will happily provide her with the entire ABBA song catalog, should she decide she wants to try and take a peek into Helena's brain. |
| Eileen - Helena simply does not fathom what so many people find so fascinating about Eileen. Maybe that's a bizarre streak of jealousy, but Helena also recognizes that when Eileen's interest aligns with hers, they seem able to work together. That's good enough for Hel. | |
| Gabriel - A significant thing of note is that despite the fact that he tried to kill her once, she no longer calls him Sylar, but rather, Gabriel. Helena has seen what sort of man he can become, given the right twists of fate. She finds she doesn't hate him (anymore?), and while she doesn't consider him a friend, she is more willing to consider alliance with him. That doesn't mean she isn't still cautious. | |
| Huruma - Helena's relationship with Huruma is rather odd. She respects the woman despite some of the horrible things she knows Huruma has done, and even shares a certain level of gallows humor with her about it. She certainly trusts Huruma's word above Adam's. | |
| Jessica - On one hand, Jessica kidnapped and tortured Abby, as well as threatened members of Phoenix to try and force them into letting her help fight the Vanguard. On the other hand, while in prison, she helped Helena deal with some of the worst of the prison yard bullies, and helped Helena get sent down to Red Level in order to see Peter. And then she proceeded to kill four people in cold blood during the escape, right in front of Helena. Her time in the future may or may not have resolved the Jessica/Niki personalities, but Helena's still wary of her. | |
| Lucrezia - Teo's aunt is a former member of the Vanguard. Helena isn't quite sure exactly what prompted Lucrezia to turn on her people, and doesn't want to assume that it was entirely due to Teo - though it may be that's exactly what it was. She was also for a time Alexander's lover, which freaks Helena out slightly less than it freaked out Teo. Lucrezia used to make Helena feel like a grubby, graceless kid, until Helena realized that the only person allowing Lucrezia to make her small was Helena herself. She gets the feeling Lucrezia holds her in contempt (as she seems to do most people), but both can agree on concern and care for one person: Teo. | |
| Matt - He forever strides the line between enemy and ally. Helena simply can't fathom how this man can watch fellow Evolved be forcibly registered, kidnapped, and experimented on. Shouldn't this sound painfully familiar? As long as their purposes run in the same direction, there's an uneasy truce between Parkman and Phoenix, but it's pretty obvious that if one were to betray the other, someone would be thrown to the wolves. | |
| Peter - Depending on one's perspective, their relationship is easily considered either completely destructive and unhealthy, or epic. Possibly all three. Peter has absorbed Kazimir Volken's ability, and his touch is death. Unfortunately, this does not result in whimsical Piemaker and Chuck relationship dynamics. Instead, what Helena got was the revelation that Peter was torn between her and Gillian, and that Peter was using Volken's ability as an excuse to stave off deciding between them. Peter has betrayed and disappointed her so many times, she realizes she needs to take a serious look at her feelings for him versus the way the universe (and Peter's own choices) keep yanking them apart. Throw in the fact that he's apparently developed feelings for another woman make Helena wonder if she was ever good enough, not yet realizing it might be that she's too good for him. Still, the degree of which he seems averse to her presence suggests he doth protest too much, and it's obvious that something is still there, or Peter wouldn't be so vehement about it. In the future Helena visited, he was with Gillian, and while she resolved their relationship, the current timeline's Gillian seemingly sudden interest in him angers her;this is her time, and her chance. But is it worth it for a man who confesses feelings for another after she's literally changed the course of history to get back to him? Helena could do better, but the question to determine is whether she wants to. |
| Arthur - There aren't enough words to convey what a monster this man is. Hopefully, every single last one of him is dead. He tried to manipulate things to his own ends, resorting to nearly killing his sons, stealing powers from various people, and attempting to make a martyr of Helena in order to fit his vision of utopia. He could not have been put in the ground fast enough. | |
| Cameron - Cameron was the leader of PARIAH. He pulled Helena off the street and recruited her to his cause, winning her sisterly devotion along the way. Cameron preferred to keep Helena away from most of the violent altercations PARIAH would have in an attempt to shield her, and she was pretty oblivious to Cameron's faults, not realizing that he was pretty much running PARIAH by the seat of his pants and pure charisma. He was murdered by Kazimir, disintegrated in front of a Ferryman safehouse. Helena mourns him greatly. While being psychically tortured, Helena subconsciously summoned an image of Cameron to protect her from Verse's efforts to pull information from her mind. | |
| Conrad - Ex-military and not so ex-convict, Conrad was a thief and con-man. Helena was very attached to him and he was yet another brother figure in her life. Conrad taught her how to hotwire a car, took her drinking when she was sad, and was there when she got her tattoo. He was one of her confidants, and in Helena's eyes, absolutely essential to Phoenix's operations. She did not hear that he had died stopping one of the Vanguard's bombs until her jaunt to 2010, and was pleased to visit his memorial, even if Conrad himself would have laughed at it. His final word was: Groovy. That about sums him up. | |
| Danielle - Helena didn't know Danielle very well. She was one of the few people to know the truth about Peter being the 2006 bomb that destroyed Midtown, and she threatened to expose him if not for Cat's intervention. She and Cat were lovers, which was used against them both when the Vanguard kidnapped them to try and force Phoenix into returning Eileen and turning over Wireless. The prisoner exchange was made, but Phoenix refused their second demand and as a result, Danielle was murdered. Helena harbors some guilt over this. | |
| Edward - Both the current and 2019 versions of Edward are dead, the elder of the two by Delilah's hand. While Edward's initial assistance to Phoenix was invaluable, his inevitable betrayal and part played by both version of him in the dealings with Pinehearst leave him a legacy not of a hero, but of something craven and despicable. | |
| Kazimir - Leader of the Vanguard. Helena witnessed one of his first murders, though she didn't know who he was at the time. He murdered Cameron right outside one of the Ferrymen safehouses, and pursued a plan to destroy 99% of the world's population using an even deadlier modification of the Shanti virus. Phoenix stopped his plans, and Abigail used her healing ability as a counter to his own in order to destroy him. OhfuckhemightstillbealiveOhfuck | |
| Verse - Verse was a telepath agent of Homeland Security. He initially tricked Helena into thinking he was Peter, psychically contacting her while they were in Moab and claiming that the drugs being used had only partially worked, while really he was trying to ply her for information. Suspicious, Helena provided false intel, which led to Verse taking the next step: for the rest of her time there he would regularly torture her using a combination of telepathic and environmental techniques. She resisted him to the last, even going so far as to generate a psychic "protector" in the form of Cameron to force him out of her mind at one point. Verse was killed when Tamara stabbed him with a needle full of air. Helena's only regret is that she wasn't able to to do it herself. |
