Is there any way I can travel from place to place instantly? Like a teleport or something? No? We still don't have that? Can we PLEASE invent that already so I don't have to sit in the car for 9-12 hours going to and from Washington, D.C? PLEASE?! Nevertheless, I still had fun and there's only about a week left of school before Winter break!~ Woohoo!~

The car ride didn't sound fun but at least winter break is almost there!

Decipherer:
Oliver nervously rubbed and picked at the back of his neck, chuckling like he was being held at gun point. "Well, you may be familiar with the, ah, phenomenon of Jekylls and Hydes in this place...?"
You are an absolute idiot.
Wait, wha?
Helen Jekyll:
A smile broke across her face, both bitter and endlessly amused all at once.
"Rather familiar, yes..."
Her head cocked to the side, a question in her eyes.
A beat.
"So, your... counterpart was bothering you, just then?"
Still, the question remained, burning and unspoken.

He gave an eager nod of his head, relieved to be able to talk about it despite the anxiety gnawing at him. "He- he makes this noise, u-u-unbearably loud and shrill and- I- it's very overwhelming," he explained nervously.

"Odd, never tried that before..."
She stepped closer to him, looking intrigued as she gave him a fresh glance over.
"I take it you're the Jekyll? You certainly sounded like one, pleading like you did... and you're pretty polite..."

That gave him a sharp, sinking sensation in his stomach.
"I'm afraid I am not," he clarified softly, dread and disappointment in his voice.

Surprise flickered in her eyes.
"You're the Hyde?"
Her face split open into a grin.
"You could've fooled me... Your other half must be really something, then, if you're the suppressed emotions... No offense intended, of course."

"Well, it's not- not quite that way, ahaha... but, er, yes, Elias is 'really something.'" He picked idly at the hem of his shirt.
She sounds rather disappointed.

"Heh, in any case... 'Tis a pleasure to meet another Hyde..." Hela assured before pausing in thought.
"Well, one that doesn't seem to want to gut me like a fish, anyways... Some of the others were itching to draw blood..."
A sudden quizzical look, directed at him.
"You don't want to fight me, do you?"

"Um, why would I? You haven't tried to hurt me, I don't see a need for senseless violence." He tilted his head, something similar to curiosity - but not quite - glowing in his eyes. "Do you want to fight me?"

"Not particularly," She answered with a soft chuckle, "I try to avoid that sort of confrontation. Tends not to end well, for one party or another..."
She marveled at the ease in which she spoke, wondering at how so many of her guards had seemed to have fallen.
Is this how people always are...?
"Though should you ever feel like sparring, I've always wanted to give it a try... But, no promises on how well it'd go."

"That's understandable," he agreed.
He, too, was much more relaxed now - despite the aura of unrest that sat in his mind, he was relatively calmer now, leaned against the counter with small flits of his hands whenever he spoke.
His expression lit up in surprise at the offer. Don't you dare-
"That sounds like a fantastic idea, I'll- I'll keep that in mind!"

She beamed at his response.
"In that case, I'll expect to see more of you sometime," Her voice carried a sense of finality, as if she telling him goodbye, "Who knows? Maybe you and Lepus will get hungry at the same time again."
Another chuckle followed her words as she gave the bunny a pat on the head.

"Maybe we will," he returned with a broad smile. "It was- it was good to meet you, Hela. Have a good night."
His eyes dropped to the small black bunny. "And Lepus, too," he added thoughtfully.

The rabbit puffed up its chest when it realized it was being watched and Hela laughed softly, tucking the creature into her pocket.
"The pleasure's all mine," She replied with a dramatic bow, grin widening, "G'night, Oliver."
She gave a little wave as she left the kitchen, returning to her room to finally sleep.

Catt Hatter:
Catt gave the Jasper an internal dark look, before addressing Hela.
"At least you're gonna be okay, right?" she offered hopefully.
Helen Jekyll:
“N-No... H-He’ll just c-come back...”
Her hand gripped at the sheets, almost seeming like she’d try and sit up once more.
“I-I’ll be stuck... and, t-this time, a-alone... he’ll f-finish me off...”
The orange giant slipped out of the room as Hela stammered, leaving the Hatter and the Hyde alone in the infirmary with the instructions for Catt not to allow Hela out of bed.

Catt squeezed her hand, trying to offer comfort.
"He's not going to come back." Her tone was urgent. "I promise."

“Y-You c-can’t p-promise t-that,” She whispered, trembling, her eyes squeezed shut, grasping at the Hatter like a lifeline, “Y-You c-can’t... h-he’ll k-kill m-me... h-he’ll f-find m-me, C-Catt...”

"G...Gone?"

"Pushing up daisies." Catt answered gravely, her hard gaze directed down at the memory of the despicable miscreant's face. And at the sound it made when her foot had turned his head farther than it was meant to go.
"No one hurts my friends."

Confusion was plain in her expression, mixing with distress at the look in the Hatter's eyes.
"I-I d-don't... u-understand..."
Her grip on Catt's hand loosened.
"I... d-don't... a-anymore... p-promise..."

Catt closed her eyes and buried her face in the bed sheets, sinking to her knees beside the bed.
"He's dead...
I'm sorry."

With her thoughts so muddled with emotion, it took a moment for the words to sink in.
Her lips moved in a soundless oh as something finally clicked.
“How...?”
She spoke in a barely heard whisper, but it had lost some of its trembling fear.

Lewis arrived at the Society later that morning, at his usual time.
He'd had an odd feeling of foreboding as he'd approached the building.
Now that he was inside, it became perfectly clear: Hela was injured.
He bolted for her, rushing toward her particular vibration, stopping only to open the infirmary door.
Before him he spied Hela and Catt, asleep. From the look of things, Hela had already been patched up.
Whatever had happened, it must have taken place while he was at home.
When he found out which lodger had hurt her...
He took a moment, lest ire overwhelm him. Closing his eyes, he took a breath in...and slowly let it out.
He repeated the process.
Opened his eyes.

Hela stirred faintly in the infirmary bed, her face contorting as she gave a soft groan.
She gripped at her midsection and let out another, slightly louder, sound of pain--the anesthetic had worn off, leaving her with the full brunt of the agony that came with being cut open and then stitched together again.
Her eyelids fluttered open, her gaze dull and unfocused as she tried to take in her surroundings, finally spotting the man standing near the doorway.
Recognition was rapidly followed by alarm.
"L-Lewis..." It came out as a croak as her eyes went wide.

Noticing her pain, he immediately moved to one of the cabinets in the infirmary to get her more anesthetic.
"Hela," he returned with a nod as he did so.
He found the proper one and readied a syringe, then approached her, a trace of concern on his face even though his manner was relaxed.
"I take it you could use some more painkiller," he surmised, readying a swab of cotton with disinfecting alcohol.

She shrank back as best she could manage, a whimper catching in the back of her throat at the sight of him armed with a needle.
“P-Please... p-please...”

Catt sighed and sat up, brought to the realm of consciousness by familiar voices. After blinking confusedly at her surroundings for a minute, she finally remembered what happened.
A two ton brick of lead flavoured guilt and worry landed in her stomach.
"Ah, good morning."

"Good morning, Catt," he greeted pleasantly.
"And a good morning to you, too, Hela," he said in the same tone. "As good as it can be, considering. Am I correct in presuming your anesthetic has worn off and that you're in need of another dose?" he asked, his bedside manner efficient yet relaxed, a combination which normally set people very much at ease.

She froze for a moment, then gave a twitch of a nod.
"I-It h-hurts," She confessed quietly, "B-But I-I d-don't l-like n-needles..."
The excuse sounded weak, even to her, but it was the truth.

"I know, I don't like needles either." Catt sighed softly.
"But it's only a moment of discomfort to have hours of pain relief."

"You know..." said Lewis, "the brain can only really focus on one area of pain at a time. So if you pinch yourself hard somewhere else while I administer this, you'll hardly feel it at all. Then you'll have about six hours without any pain."

Hela looked rather doubtful, but shifted her hands away from her bandaged side with a wince, two digits poised in preparation above her arm.
Then she turned to Catt, eager for a distraction.
"D-Did... you sleep on the floor?"

"Nah, just took the chair." She yawned, wincing at the stiffness in her neck. "Though the floor might've been more comfortable."

As they were speaking, Lewis quickly and deftly swabbed the appropriate area of skin and injected the painkiller, the motion smooth as silk.
Before Hela knew it, a bandage covered the site.
"I hope that was alright," he said as he finished.

At the feeling of cold disinfectant, she immediately pinched herself, hard, going rigid with fear.
The tension didn't leave her until Lewis spoke again, signaling it was over, and she relaxed with a shudder.
"M'fine... H-Hardly felt it..."
She rubbed her arm and glanced back at him, blinking blearily.
"I-Is there any water...?
(Catt Hatter)
