Midway up the elevator, you started talking

"Did you bring you Series-7 De-Atomizer, H? I would love to see you defeat The Hive once again" you teased him

" I brought a different one, sadly" H said as he patted your back

You were about to retort another comment but M called out H

"Hey, H?" She said

"Yeah?" He answered, looked outside of Eiffel tower and admiring the view from far away

"Would you mind telling me one more time? How did you beat the Hive?" M asked

"He said it for like millionth time" you tilted your head at M, confused where she was going on with. M took out her de-atomizer from her pants and held it. You did the same. Not really knowing what would appear the moment, the door would open

"Okay, it was Three years ago. High T and I went to face The Hive with nothing But our wits and our Series-7 De-Atomizers. Cool?" H answered

"Cool" you answered plainly

"Yes, but how did you do it?" M pressed on her question, Glancing at you

"But he already--oh,no" you catched up to what M had been meaning to do, you gaped at him, speechless

"Wait. What are you doing? What's wrong with the both of you?"

"We're curious, H. How did you do it again?" This time, it was you, who asked H as he smiled through the confusion

"I told you two all ready" he shook his head in puzzlement

"You didn't say how though " M stated

"I did, for like, the fourth time. Okay, uh, High T and I went up to face the Hive with nothing but our wits and our Series-7 De-Atomizers.." H stopped when he's now hearing himself repeat what he said. M looked at him in pity

"Oh, H" You placed your hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at you

"I'm repeating myself, aren't I? Am I?" He looked over M and You. Your heart broke at his voice. He can't seem to remember what happened during the time he went up after The Hive

"Love, you are" you confirmed him as he breathed out

"Over and over" M said
"Word for word" Pawny added from your suit pocket
"Again and again" You disclosed

"Yeah, uhm. Okay, why would I be doing that?" He raised a hand to his shoulder and put it above yours

"H, We don't think you beat the Hive that night" M said sympathetically

"As much as I hate to say this, but you were neuralyzed" you blurted, H's knees buckled at the fact, thrown to him. You wrapped an arm around his torso and briefly hugged him

So that's the reason he changed. The reason he felt something was missing. The reason he had always felt unsure of all the things he did.

He closed his eyes and dipped his face on your neck

M had to look away, leaving the two to their moment

"Why would he.." you heard his voice crack

You rubbed circles on his back to atleast give him the comfort he needed

You are his strength at this very moment of vulnerability.

"I'm here with you" you whispered at him gently as he snuggled closer to you

"Thank you" he muffled

"Hey! Hey! Hands off My Queen, blonde pretty boy!" Shouted Pawny from your pocket
