Who rescued Helen when she was kidnapped ny theseus?

Theseus kidnapped Helen when she was around the age of 12-14 (it varies) because he and his friend Pirithous wanted to marry daughters of Zeus. They casted lots and Theseus got Helen while Pirithous got Persephone. When Theseus went with Pirithous to Hades to kidnap Persephone, Helen's elder brothers Castor and Polydueces (or Pollux) came after their sister. They went to Athens first, but soon found out that she was with Theseus' mother Aethra. They threatened war if she wasn't returned, and since Theseus was gone, there wasn't really anything to stop them from retrieving their sister. When she returned, she was sought after by many suitors. Menelaus won her hand and they were married. It wasn't until after that that Paris kidnapped her. Whether or not Helen was kidnapped by Paris or went willingly with him is never clarified in the Iliad and other sources have varying ideas surrounding this. (I added the Paris information, because the previous answer for this question said that Helen was only kidnapped by Paris, and wasn't really kidnapped since she went willingly..)
