The Halloween Party had gone better than she hoped, even expected. The party ended and the events unfolded with the large green creature and retrieving Ashley. And then it was returning to work as normal. Rather, as it had been, as opposed to normal. Long hours going back and forth between her lab and her office. Hardly seeing anyone, except when Henry had found the Cabal Laboratory. Which had done little more than fan the flame.

Helen found herself up all night again. Continually testing the sample of blood that Claire had so kindly given her. Trying to learn how it worked when dealing with other samples. The results seemed to say that no matter the blood type, Claire's could bond with it and repair it. A universal donor. She then mixed a sample of Ashley's previous blood and Claire's, letting it settle before looking for the results.

Except she had fallen asleep with her forehead pressed to her hands. Having terrible sleep patterns were completely different from pure fatigue and exhaustion. Though her dreams were hardly ones that would lighten her mood, it took her a few moments to realize she had dozen off. And that it was now morning, given the sunlight coming in from the glass roof above.

Adam had isolated himself from everyone. Kensei had been a talkative and open individual, but in such a setting where he hadn't been able to get a footing in anything, Kensei had closed himself up in the bar that was apparently where he was living and drank. He'd been rather unfortunately disappointed to find that alcohol, the one solace that he had had in a life that had had no direction, wasn't there to comfort his confusion this time. It had simply left him with a burn on his tongue and less alcohol to show for it.

Adam had been grateful when he had woken up as himself, just the memory of his conversation with Peter and the pathetic behavior that his old self had lapsed into stuck in his mind, but other than that, no embarrassment to show for the situation. He had hidden from the potential embarrassment for a day or two more before he had felt himself prompted by the image that flashed on his tablet to say something.

"Rise and shine, sunshine," Adam trilled into the tablet, propping his head up on her corner of the bar as he grinned at the groggy picture he was presented with. "All work and no play makes Jill a dull girl."

After Peter had told Ashley about how her mother had worked she'd wanted to talk to her mom about it - her mom might have been working non stop for her but she wouldn't be able to help if she worked herself completely into the ground. Ashley had waited until after Halloween and all events following had ended, choosing her moment and words carefully.

Her mom's lab was Ashley's first point of call rather than one on the way like it used to be. Ashley didn't speak straight away after entering the room, not wanting to make her do something wrong. This time however Ashley didn't speak at all, she simply left just to cone back a few minutes later with a blanket to wrap around her mother's shoulders.

Wasn't that a familiar situation? Mohinder would be doing the same thing, if he was actually sleeping. He wondered what Dr. Magnus was working so diligently on. He'd produced newer equipment through the aid of a hatch, but he hadn't really had anything to work on yet. Just tons of files to sort through- information about his own transformation, and the box of files about Coyote Sands. Not that it was

"You might be more comfortable in a bed," Mohinder said gently. He didn't want to wake her if she was in a deep sleep, but- it was merely the truth. Plus, he was curious about what she was working so hard on.

One of the first things Henry did on waking up was do a run through of the Sanctuary security systems. Not the same as the more usual tooth-brushing, but much more important. Even in this place, he thought.

Which was how he'd caught Magnus asleep. A quick glance at the image from her lab and he knew she'd likely been there all night.

It only took him a couple minutes to get down there, but it was long enough for Magnus to wake up, "You know, the Big Guy would have bought you breakfast in the morning."
