for 'humility' - "Savior o' her"

[rodlox.livejournal.com]

Title: Savior o’ her.
For Primeval100’s challenge of “Humility”
Fandom: Primeval,
Rating: PG
Spoilers: none.
91 words.
Short Summary: Helen’s POV when Claudia questions her in ep6.


Author’s note: The scene they didn’t show you in the finale.

“his Christian name” just means “his personal name”; I assume they still talk that way in the civil service and in Uni.
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters
-------------------------------

“Thank you, by the way,” Brown tells me.

“You’re welcome,” I say, again. The woman’s obsessing over my rescuing her – guilt, permaybehaps?

“When I mentioned it to Nick,” again using his Christian name, I see, “he wasn’t surprised.”

Good.

“By the way, why did you save my life?”

“Because,” I tell her.

She looks at her toes before saying this, “Is this – the whole Enigmatic Helen thing – to prevent a paradox?”

“No.” You see, I can do humility.

Even if you’re going to be a heartless bitch and steal my husband.

The End

(what? No, she’s not bitter)

ooh, that one was interesting. I must admit, whenever I watch that scene I just keep thinking, 'go on, you know you want to have a bitch-fight'. Which, to be fair, Helen would almost certainly win.

Nice Helen pov, though, I especially liked the last line.
