My Galatea (Henry X Dr V)

(Continued from the end of 'giving a little bit back')

So he just decided to staple him to the wall.

He grabs him by the waist and shoots his hand into the wall, leaving reg stuck like glue.

Reg struggles a little, before giving up, sulking.

"So that's it, then?" he asks, looking at Henry "you're just gonna leave me here to go down with the ship...?"

Henry nods. "Figured it was the best way to pay ya back."

He then giggles, mock saluting him. "Later, copperhead." he says, turning away.

And with that, he blasts off, just barely getting out of there before the airship crashes.

Once he's a safe distance away, he covers his ears and watches the catastrophic explosion.

The toppats were all dead, thanks to him.

After basking in the glory and victory of getting that sweet revenge and taking out a whole criminal-clan single handedly, Henry wondered about what to do next.

Should he tell the government...?

He shakes his head. No, that wouldn't work.

Even if he did take out the toppats, they still wanted his head for everything he did before he died...

He sighs sadly.

He'd just have to remain an unsung hero for now. But that's ok.

He got his revenge, and that's all that mattered.

So, he flies away.

As he was flying through the sky, his mind wandered back to the woman who saved him.

The miracle worker, Dr Valeria Vinschpinsilstein.

He smiles, thinking of her.

She'd saved him from the cold, icy clutches of death.

She made him better, faster, stronger... without her, he'd still be literally dead in the water.

Thinking of her... Henry felt something that... he hadn't felt in so long...

He wanted to see her again. And he owed her big time for all she'd done for him.

But how to find her?

Hmm... she was in Russia, right? Maybe she was still there. He had only been flying to the airship for a day or so...

So off he went.

~mini time skip~

After flying back to the black sea and looking around, he finally spots the boat, smiling.

"There she is."

He flies down, landing on the boat deck, smiling happily.

"Guess who?"

Dr v was standing near the door, and turned to face him.

"Henry! You're back." she says with a smile. "Did you find toppat clan?" she asks.

"Yup." Henry nods, smirking.

"I got them, and I got them good... they're nothing but a flaming airship now."

Dr v smiles. "Wow, impressive." she says.

Henry blushes a bit and smiles. "Well, Dr v, I came back to thank you." he says gently.
