Chapter 2!
This one begins where mid-season finale left off.(:
"I'm so sorry" Claudia mumbled into Artie "It's ok...it's ok" he sighed back, trying to catch his breath. I killed him Claudia thought, I killed Artie. Pete was on the floor, the flower now gone - disintegrated in his hands. The plague going into every living thing on half the planet, including his team. "Mykes-" he whispered going limp. Everyone felt the effects and began to go week at the knees.
Myka struggling, to keep her eyes open responded meekly, "Guys we-".
"We what...what do we do" Claudia yelled finding her voice.
Claudia stumbled up, looking at the faces of her family, all of complete lack of hope.
"Artie is dead- Lenna is dead- we will be dead in like a day, along with like half the earth- so... what- tell me what do we do".
"Claud-" Steve said stepping towards her.
"We need to get to the warehouse" Myka declared, pulling Pete up "we'll figure it out-".
"Really and how do you know that... I think its been proven that we don't always figure it out" Claudia said firmly, daring one of them to speak.
No one had anything to say to that. They may not remember what happened, but it was still a reality they had to live with everyday.
"We got out of losing the Warehouse- Mrs. Fredric- HG but for what, n-"
"Don't say that" Myka snapped, Shes still alive assured herself Helena is still alive. They'd avoid the subject of HG around Myka for weeks, but of course everything comes out now. With them all diseased and at the lowest point they've ever been.
Claudia went on repeating herself " We lost Artie Lenna and half the world and now were all about to die... so tell me how is the alternative better!" Myka couldn't find any words.
"We are still alive" Pete cut in, looking at Steve "we can still get out of this".
Claudia was about to respond when they heard someone running up the stairs. It was the same girl who had met with Mrs. Fredric and Artie. Her brown almost black hair framing her face. Her deep brown eyes intent on whatever goal she had set.
"I do beg your pardon I seem to be running a few minutes late", looking at the tension on all their faces, she knew they'd been arguing, and she spoke again. " That must have been an ... unpleasant conversation to say the least".
"Who are u-" they all yelled in unison.
"That is of no relevance. Now if you will all kindly take a few steps ba-"
"I'm sorry but you can't be hear right now", Myka declared professionally, stepping forward thinking she may be some tourist, ignoring the words the girl just said.
"None of us are meant to be here Agent Bering, yet here we are".
"What do you mean"Pete asked ignoring Mykas glare.
"Pete" she warned.
"Mykes I've got a good vibe about her and we don't have any other ideas". He explained his actions then, turned to the girl and smiled. "Ok first a couple questions, One - what do you mean we aren't supposed to be here. Two- what are you going todo. Three- why aren't u sick and sweating like crazy. And Four- Who are you "
The girl smiled "Thank you Agent Lattimer this may go smoother than I predicted" she paused, thinking back to the questions. " First, you of course know by now that Agent Neilson decied to toy with time-" she looked down at Artie's body.
" He did what he had to, you have no idea-!" Claudia began shouting, but was cut off.
"Agent Donavan, I did not come here to argue with nor accuse anyone...what Agent Neilson did was honorable and I am not condescending it, so if you please- let's move on"
Claudia didn't respond, and no one said anything.
"Second I'm going to cure you. Third I wasn't here when the English Sweating Sickness was released and unfortunately the answer to your fourth question is classified."
Everyone's eyes went wide, and immediately more questions came flying at the girl.
"What do u mean-".
"Classified?."
" How-".
"Listen please this must be done now, so if u will!" She yelled her accent thickening gesturing to the floor.
"Great a mini-Myka" Pete mumbled stepping backwards with everyone else.
"We looked there is no cure" Steve said confused.
"Not yet" the girl said pulling out a purple orchid."There will be in a few hundred years, but by then the disease would have already taken full effect." She don't look up as she explained. "This wasn't supposed to happen yet, but your Agent Neilson decided to speed things up a bit." Tossing it lightly it landed on the floor disintegrating as the other orchid did before it. Everyone minus the girl took a deep breath as the cure traveled into them.
"Now to Agent Neilson and Miss Lenna."
"Can you bring them back" Claudia asked suddenly hopeful.
The girl didn't respond as she pulled the small device out of her pocket." Grad ahold to the person next to you... including Mr. Neilson."
"what is that-" Myka began but was cut off.
"Really Mykes she just cured an un-curable disease and now your going to question her"
Pete whispered to her
She turned to respond but was cut off again.
"Its perfectly natural Agent Lattimer I assure you- after all Im child, and I have given you no reason to trust me-but if u want to save them, this is the only safe way".
Myka reluctantly grabbed this kid's hand.
Smiling the girl pressed a button on her device and in the blink of an eye they were in the warehouse.
"No freaking way!" Claudia yelled,"Teleportion- kid were gunna talk about this".
"Later" Steve said.
"Let's go get Miss. Lenna" the girl said about to press the button again, but nobody grabbed her hand. "Unless you wish her to remain dead."
Claudia grabbed her hand quickly and they were gone and back in minutes, teleporting so that Lenna was on the couch.
Claudia wiped a tear from her face as she went back to her original position next to Steve.
"Ok now I need some real answers" Myka said sternly turning to the girl "how do you plan to get them back" she asked. As the realization set in, of the fact that her head was so clouded with emotion the she literally just let this random girl assume the role of leader.
"We'll it involves an artifact of sorts-"
"Artifacts have downsides" Steve said stepping closer "especially resurrection artifacts" looking at Claudia .
"I assure you the downsides have been accounted for and will have no impact on the situation."the girl informed "now to retrieve it".
"You don't have it!" Pete yelled in disbelief.
"We'll I know where it is of course" She responded crossing her arms.
"Where?" Claudia asked solemnly.
"Agent Bering... any ideas where HG Wells is hiding?"
•~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•
Everyone stared at the girl, knowing now this kid knew everything they knew and more.
"Mrs. Fredric told her to disappear" Myka said quickly "and to not make contact with any of us".
"Yes, but you know where she would go after given those instructions" the girl said her voice going an octave higher, smiling a knowing grin.
"She'd probably go the last place everyone would expect"
"That being"
" A school in South Dakota?" Myka said after a moment knowing HG would stay close and go the last place someone, especially Artie, would think to go. But Myka knew her too well.
" Duncan high school in Argyle to be precise."
Everyone's eyes went wide, thinking the same thing
"If HG really, like with her whole being, doesn't want to be found she won't be- so how did you?" Claudia asked.
"Might I suggest u go there", it wasn't an explanation.
"You aren't going" Steve asked, suspiciously.
"If anyone was to go you, know it should be agent Bering"
"And the Petester!" Pete shouted heroically.
The girl glared at him," yes and Mr. Lattimer".
Myka stared at her in confusion, the girl was so familiar, sadly her head was too clouded. But the way she looked and talked it was...
"Is there a problem agent Bering" the girl asked gently, anyone who knew her would have known that tone was fear. She can't recognize me...yet
"Its just...No-umm...-what's the artifact" Myka asked shaking her head.
The girl was silent and looked at the floor for a moment before taking a deep breath and with a sigh and 4 strange glances apon her she spoke again.
"Her locket"
Please review and tell me any of your suggestions!:)
