Darian paused when Helena posed the question to him. He was sure that the woman's question was meant to be simple and innocuous, but the explanation was far from simple. "It's faily complicated, but the short version is that I met her shortly before I started at Forge," he explained carefully, doing his best not to give too many harsh details to the woman. "She had just...gotten away from where she...grew up. She didn't have any place to go, so I invited her to come with me to Forge." The man paused as he filted what he was about to say to the veteran huntress as to not cause her even more stress.

"If I'm honest I'm lucky she decided to come with me that day. She's saved me in more ways than one over the years," he said thinking about how he could've ended up if he didn't have Alice to anchor him in a good place mentally and emotionally. "I will tell you this though, she doesn't remember anything from her childhood right now. We've tried some things over the years, but nothing's helped." The man stopped what he was doing with loading up his car and looked at the woman directly as he spoke to her, "If this all turns out right...if you really are Alice's mom, please do me a favor. Don't try to bring up the past, it'll hurt her too much."
