Helena shrugged and shook her head, tucking her hair behind her ear. It was like she had been put on a factory reset and was just a blank slate again. She certainly was nowhere near the person she was as The Huntress… She felt naked and vulnerable and completely out of control. She wet her lips nervously and, to her distaste, her eyes began trying to blink away the tears that seemed to come out of nowhere. She opened her mouth to try to explain herself but quickly closed it again. Her shoulders were hunched in on herself and she hung her head. “I don’t know how to do this,” she whispered. “I don’t know how to be the person I was. I don’t know how to be the person that deserves your kindness.”
Cisco tilted his head as the woman struggled to get the word out. Oh shit, I broke Helena. He thought as soon as he saw the tears. The woman was so hard and she seemed so strong, so he was confused as to what was going on. He ran over and wrapped her in his arms and rubbed small circles on her back. “It’s okay. Shhhh. You’re okay. You just be you, babe. You don’t need to be anyone other than you.”
