[Damian was the only thing on Helena's mind. Okay, that wasn't quite the truth, since she was thinking about her mother now, of her father, of Dick, and of everyone lost to her over the years. Damian was just the latest in a string of people gone, but never forgotten, the latest name on a list of people who haunted and continued to pull at her mind.
Sadness has never been easy for her to deal with. She gets moody. She gets depressed. She's the type torn between pure rage and pure devastation, with the deep need to put on a facade and hide everything away. But there's no one to talk to now, no one to work through the sorrow with. Now she has only Kate, and crying to her just doesn't seem right. It doesn't seem fair to burden her with all that grief, not when their relationship is so new. Helena doesn't want to spoil everything simply because she couldn't be like her father and keep it locked away to put to good use later.
But she wants to see Kate, and she knows she's going to cry. So when she hears the bell, she buzzes Kate in and meets her in the doorway. She may be a trained detective, an ace lawyer, and a superhero, but right now she's hurting. Badly.]
