MHA #16 - Thursday Morning

[itsananomaly]

Cutter was still very much his normal self and yes he was supposed to be having his class right then but he had simply not felt like turning up to his final class for the semester so he had decided to stay put in his apartment and do extra research instead.

He wasn’t quite aware of anything unusual going on in Fandom right then, his Connor had actually sent over some new data for him to go through and it seemed like he was finally talking to him again after a couple of weeks of radio silence. He had seen the two Connor’s talking on the field trip, so he wasn’t gong to question it but was relieved that Connor didn’t seem to completely hate him.

For a while Cutter sat on his couch engrossed in his computer with all his books and papers spread out over the coffee table, if he’d known what was going to happen he may have actually decided to have his class instead.

Helen had more or less expected that really so she grinned, “my my, we are awfully defensive today, well … I’ll leave you boys too whatever it is that is so important to talk about, Nick .. Connor … it’s been a pleasure,” with a wave and a rather not so subtle thrust that showed off her midriff, she turned on her heel and out the door, closing it behind her.

“I’m sorry about her,” Cutter sighed when he had been sure that Helen had definitely gone, he was going to have to try and search the apartment now for listening devices wasn’t he?

Connor had watched Helen leave, making sure as well that she was really gone before he said anything.

"This isn't good, mate. Helen knows about the island."

Somehow Connor had thought, and hoped, that Fandom would be inaccessible to Helen somehow. That simply keeping Cutter here and Helen far away would be enough to keep Cutter alive. That was looking like it was not going to be the case.

“I don’t know how she found out,” Cutter sighed warily, “I didn’t think anyone but the team knew that I was here,”

He frowned, maybe Stephen had told her that he was teaching here?

"Not sure.... but it's not good in either case." Especially considering the whole Helen eventually killing Cutter thing hanging over his head. "You ok though?" Connor didn't know how long Helen had been there before he showed up or what had happened earlier in the day.

Cutter nodded, “It was just unexpected, seeing Helen in Fandom,” and he had also been a bit distracted by the outfit she had been wearing.

He paused, “thank you though for coming over, I know my judgement with Helen is rather questionable,” he admitted.

"Hey, someone has to watch your back," Connor said with a small chuckle. Because lord knew you were terrible at doing it yourself, Cutter. "You've always had my back. My turn to have yours..." And hopefully not fail and end up losing this version of Cutter also.
