Lester already knew Helen had forgotten she'd ever been human. All that appeared to matter to her was saving the Earth, and she considered humanity her enemy. Although, he shouldn't be surprised, not when she'd been travelling alone for years, seeing all of history, as well as the future, set before her.

He sighed, recalling Helen's various rants as she’d tried to convince him about her vision. She obviously considered herself one of the Norns - the Fates - able to change events to bring about her vision.

She was dangerous and Lester knew he – they – had to stop her.

Very scary, that she would think that of herself.

*nods* Helen is. It is James' opinion, but I'm sure Helen does think that.

Thanks for reading.

Yep, Helen really has taken megalomania to whole new levels!

Good luck, Lester!

Lester would be insulted, but know he'll probably need good luck to stop Helen.

Thanks for reading.

Very perceptive of Lester. I know she's evil and nutty as a fruitbat etc but Helen is actually quite a pitiful figure.

*nods* Lester is. True, but few people are going to pity her.

Thanks for reading.

Such a good descriptiono of Helen... and terribly scary!

Good to know it worked and Helen is scary.
