Hey there :D. This is my very first Warehouse 13 OS... I guess there will be more, because the whole Bering & Wells story line broke my poor little heart and I need to get it off my chest. So...
Anyway, this very short multichapter takes place a few hours after the end of "3...2...1". Because HOW could they just say 'goodbye' like that? I mean, the scene was absolutely perfect, but I needed more ^^". Here it is. Pleaaaase leave a review :). They are always greatly appreciated, and I'd love to meet the lovely B&W shippers. You seem like a fantastic bunch of people :D.
Enjooooy.
Her simple 'Goodbye Helena', quietly whispered with Pete as a witness, was far from enough, and Myka wishes her eyes could have been as good as H.G's in expressing what couldn't find its way out through her lips.
"You know it's only a matter of hours before Mrs. Frederic comes 'round to get it back, right?"
Claudia's voice has Myka jumping and nearly dropping the orb she's been playing with, deep in thoughts. She suddenly feels flushed. She has forgotten she is sitting in the living room, where anyone could walk in and notice how desperate she certainly looks.
Night has fallen on Leena's B&B, meaning she's been staring at the orb – on the verge of tears – for the best part of an hour.
She nods and takes a deep breath.
Claudia wears that sorry look of hers, obviously sympathizing. She must take her nod as an invitation – although Myka knows the young girl does not need one – for she comes to sit on the arm of her chair, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I know." Myka whispers. "I don't know how to say goodbye." She explains.
It is preposterous, feeling the need to say goodbye to someone who used your friendship to get access to the means of destroying the whole human race.
"Then don't."
Myka frowns at Claudia's serious tone, and gazes at her, silently waiting for her to explain what she means.
"It's simple. If you don't know how to say goodbye, then don't. Go to your room, turn that thing on, and spend some time with H.G. Do whatever you used to do before – you know." Claudia stops rather abruptly. What exactly did the two of you do, before? Is the question that plagues her mind. But that's their happy place she cannot possibly be granted an access to.
Myka's gaze falls back on the orb still safely resting in her lap. A sad smile stretches her lips and she nods again.
"You know what? You're absolutely right."
Claudia shares her smile, tapping her shoulder. Without a word, Myka leaves her seat and in no time she's up the stairs. She's suddenly in a rush. For all she knows, Mrs. Frederic could materialize any minute now, claiming the orb, taking H.G away from her, possibly forever.
She pushes the door to her room – their room – open and sneaks in before seating on the edge of her bed.
