The helmet was a necessity for two very good reasons; safety in case there was somehow an accident on the road, and a very good way to hide Jack's identity. Painful as removing and putting it on would be, Gabriel know it would with the facial injuries still healing. Better to have it on than not.
Reyes kept mindful all the while of Jack against his back, especially once it was clear his bond had finally knocked out. Hoping it lasted, that he would finally get much needed rest and hope the road ahead was calm. Just passing a few other vehicles, but otherwise the stretch of road was empty. Maybe due to what had happened, and could only hope it was a good thing no matter his own prickling of paranoia.
He did focus when Jack jerked, almost waiting as he still continued down the road and- well. There was relief when he dozed off again, pushing himself further still, keeping an eye on the charge of the bike. It was several hours later that he was finally slowing, pulling in to a rest area that was not abandoned, but blessedly empty. Pulling near a recharge station there that was automated at least; no having to interact with anyone, at some far corner of the place.
Was careful when he nudged Jack, aiming to calmly stir him awake.
