Paperwork/Request for Leave [tag: Helen]

[Deleted]

Henry growled a little, staring at the computer screen in front of him. He HATED paperwork! Henry didn't see why he couldn't just ask for permission, why did he have to write it down?

Henry had been staring at the "Request for Leave" form for about an hour, feeling a little guilty. He jumped when Biggie came up behind him.

"You going to the London Comic Con?" Biggie asked, straight to the point. Henry frowned slightly, worrying he was becoming a tad predictable.

"If I can." Henry replied, still staring at the empty form.

"So why don't you put that?" Biggie prompted. Henry sighed, turning his swivel chair away from the computer so he could face Biggie.

"I dunno, man. I don't really wanna ask."

"Magnus is many things, but she's not a mindreader." Biggie responded.

"Can't you ask her for me?" Henry started to whine.

"I could." Biggie replied.

"You're not going to, are you." Henry realised. Biggie shook his head. "I guess I could make it a working vacation. MCM Expo is always full of abnormals. I could work with Declan. He's cool."

"It is up to Magnus." Biggie carefully said; a little worried Henry had bitten off more than he could chew, so to speak. "But there is no harm in asking."

"I know." Henry frowned. "I just wish I didn't have to ask in writing." Henry turned his chair around and started typing, slowly at first. His hands gradually picked up the pace, before flying over the keyboard.

At some point Biggie left, but Henry failed to notice. He was too busy writing up everything in his request form: the gaming, the abnormals, the fact he could offer his services to the London sanctuary for a while. If Henry played his cards right, in a fortnights time he could be in London, getting ready for the Expo.

Henry emailed the Request for Leave form to Magnus, and anxiously moved on to one of the other jobs on his to-do list whilst nervously awaiting a reply.

[OOC: I do apologise for the late reply. I did take notice of this thread when you first posted it, however have been caught up in work and studies, and simply haven’t had time nor the mental energy to reply. Not to mention keeping Helen up to date in other threads XD Also, is it possible you could shrink your icon? It’s stretching the thread XD I can make some for you, if you want xx]

Helen had spent the entire morning answering emails, giving conference calls, and writing up documents on the latest chaotic Abnormal invasion. Ever since Praxis was obliterated and turned to dust, thousands of homeless Abnormals began spilling out of the tunnels and taking up refuge on the Earth’s surface. However, this could not have gone unnoticed. Helen had been trying desperately to keep track of the media, and making sure the chaos did not go global. It was a tough task. The last thing she needed was public outcry and protests in the name of Abnormals. That in itself, could cause many more problems.

Even Lillian Lee was getting frustrated, and any more problems would severe their allied relationship almost immediately. But on Helen’s mind, the Abnormal invasion was the last thing on her mind. She needed to find Adam Worth, and fast, before any more damage is done.

Helen took a few moments to catch her breath. The tea on the desk in front of her was stone cold, and after her fifth cup so far, even the tea could not soothe her nerves. She stared blankly at the screen. Honestly, she didn’t know where to begin. She had been staring at the screen all morning, and her vision was starting to blur. Will and Kate had travelled to the Abnormal camp situated on the outskirts of New City, so they were no-where to be seen. Luckily for Will, if he was still around at the Sanctuary, Helen would have made him do more filing. Pushing away the slight smirk that etched across her delicate features, she was just about to close the file on the Heranadon, when a notification popped up. An email from Henry.

Biting her lip, she rose from her desk, and made her way out of the office, and towards Henry’s lab. There were several things she needed him to do, and she may as well discuss his temporary leave while she was there. Her heeled boots clicked as she walked through the antique corridors, while her lips were pursed in thought. As she reached his office, she gave a small tap on the doorway so that he was aware of her presence. Then she strolled on in.

”Ah, Henry. Received any news from Will or Kate at the Abnormal camp in New City?”
