Chapter 27: A Surprising Motive

Late at night, at Henry's gym, Speed Demon appears in the room as the wind causes papers to fly off the desk, we see the little girl in his arms as he sets her down

His mask demoralizes as Henry walks into the other room and goes over to the cabinet in the corner and opens it up he bends down as he pulls out a box, he opens the box and their are toys in it, he sighs as he looks at them and then stands up and picks the box up

Henry walks back out into the main room and sees that the young girl isn't where he left her, he turns his gaze over to see the young girl standing by a safe

Henry: No!!!

He says as he drops the box and speed runs over to her causing her to fall to the ground and she moves back in fear

Henry sees her on the ground and kneels down to her

Henry: I'm sorry, it's just you don't touch this okay? This is off limits, alright? It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you.

Henry puts his hand out to her to try and let her know that she was alright, she closes her eyes for a moment, Henry could see how his outburst terrified her

He gets up and goes over to the box and kneels down to it as he opens it up and digs around inside of it, he grunts as he moves his hand around

Henry: Ah, ha.

He pulls out an old baby doll which had dust on it, Henry wipes the dust off and blows on it and coughs slightly

Henry gets back up and goes back over to the young girl and kneels down once again as he holds the doll out

Henry: Here you go.

The young girl keeps her eyes closed

Henry: Its a baby doll. *Sits down* It was mine. *Laughs* Weird, I know. A young boy has a baby doll. But uh you know what? I didn't care, I never cared that I had it. An old friend of mine gave it to me. He was the only person who ever gave a sh- who cared about me. I didn't want it when he gave it to me, I thought it was funny. But he said to me, "It doesn't matter what it is, all that matters is the value of the toy that makes you feel."

Henry puts his hand over his heart

Henry: In here.

He says as sets the doll down and slides it over to her

He sits there watching her as he hopes for her to open her eyes

She finally opens her eyes as she looks down at the doll, she slides her hand to it as she picks it up, she stares at it for a moment and finally she gives off a smile as she sits up and plays with it for a second as the doll talks

Baby doll: I'm your best friend.

The young girl laughs as her eyes light up, she looks at Henry and sees him look down at the ground

She sets the doll down as she gets on her knees and moves over to him and puts her hand on his cheek, Henry looks up at her

???: Why don't you smile?

The young girl asks as Henry goes to speak but he clears his throat and stands up

Henry: You can have the doll, there's other toys in the box, feel free to play with them. There's blankets in the room *Motions to the bedroom* you can help yourself.

Henry walks over to the box and picks it up as he brings it over and sets it down to her

Henry: Here.

The young girl moves to the box as she gets inside of it and takes out toys, she smiles as she sits down and starts playing with them

???: I'm Jean.
