"So, uh, how did you make, William?"
Henry smiled as he tucked Will into bed, his room just as white as the lab itself and covered in kids drawing, toy, books and games. "Dead demon we found in the woods, took us a few goes to get him right. Jeanne and I volunteered to be donors, and Jeanne herself as the vessel." Henry said, pulling out a mobile phone and pressing play on a video for him.
Ford took it from his hands and watched the feed with a smile, "That's him as a baby, he was always so happy to see everyone, never cried once, smart too, and gifted." Henry said, sounding very proud of him as he made for the door, Ford followed after him. Henry waited till he heard the door lock behind them before he continued to his office, "Cup of tea?" he asked, taking the phone back.
"Got any coffee?"
Henry laughed, "Well, of course, we are scientists. Got to stay up late somehow."

"I'm sorry, about Jeanne, that must have been tough on you" Ford said, sipping at his drink. Henry sighed, "We knew the risks of having a kid with powerful abilities, just didn't think it would come to this. She was a brilliant mind, loved Will with all her heart..."
"Did you love her?"
Henry waved a hand at him, "No, not like that, we weren't together."
Ford set down his coffee, "What are you going to do with him, once he's older?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you can't keep him here for the rest of his life, he's a kid, he needs to go out and do things, he's going to get restless one day."
"He's an experiment, he's not human, Mr Pines."
"I know, it's just..."
Henry nodded, "I get it, but he's safer here, than out there. What if someone found him, someone bad?"
"Good point."
"William receives the utmost care and medical here. He's happy, he's safe and most importantly he's loved."
Ford smiled at that,
"Having you on this team will help us with so many things, I'm so glad you could join us." Henry added, pushing over some paperwork. Ford took the pen he handed him and signed his name with a flourish,
"I'll do my best, sir."
Henry laughed, "No need to call me sir, Henry is fine."
