At least it quelled enough to get him to think. And at the questions, she let herself think on the matter. She didn't know details about Q himself or those in charge here, but she knew the underlying reasons the Nysgods had for creating the Grasp that ultimately pulled people to Niflheim. And she also well knew Q's type, if just in a less super-powered type.

"He could have brought us out of boredom, which is plausible but probably not the actual reason. No, he probably has some greater plan at play than to simply bring us here and watch us try to make our way here. Which means he has plans for us, or perhaps more importantly, plans for those in charge that just happen to involve us. Leaving us with already having his attention. It is a matter of making enough of a threat towards him or the disruption of his plans to achieve that more personal and direct link to him."

Helena herself wasn't actually wanting to return to her home world, but she had to say that Q needed to be confronted and drawn out of whatever hiding place he was in.
