A/N so here is chapter 3, took me a bit longer to update than I wanted. But I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the chapter.
It turned out to be a filler chapter, because I kinda want Emma's story (or at least part of it) to have it's own chapter. And I couldn't really leave these things out. I'm not 100% happy with how it turned out but It'll have to do for now. Maybe I'll change in later on.
And I kinda felt smart because of Emma's last name. Because she obviously needs one and I was reading the Island of doctor Moreau And I thought why not steal Montgomery's name.
I want to thank everybody who actually reads this story (and likes it)
And I want to thank my Beta, because she's awesome for helping me out.
I don't own warehouse 13 because of obvious reasons. I do own a pair of nice warm socks which I'm currently wearing. (for anyone who's interested)
anyway let me know what you think! Or don't... but reviews would be nice :)
CHAPTER 3
Myka awoke with a pleasant feeling, she snuggled closer into the warmth beside her, gods she was way too comfortable to get up. She really didn't want to go on snag, bag and tag with Pete today, she'd rather stay in bed curled up with Helena...
Wait what?! Myka shot up and almost fell out of bed because of her haste. She looked to her left where Helena was still fast asleep and the memories of yesterday came flooding back.
Claudia stepping back as a field agent, Helena coming back and then that mysterious girl who had claimed to be from the future.
After Mrs Fredric had told them about this, all agents had talked about possible reasons why the girl had come to them and most importantly how she had appeared here. Helena was specifically focused on the latter. But that didn't surprise anyone, since she was after all the 'father' of science fiction and the inventor of the time machine.
After an hour or so, the discussion had died down since all the agents were rather tired. Steve and Claudia were the first to head up stairs leaving Pete, H.G. and herself alone in the living room.
After an awkward silence, Pete had asked them if they were still worrying about the whole sleeping thing and he offered to take the couch himself. HG had said that it was complete madness and that if it were such a big deal, she would just share a damn bed with Myka.
This had shocked Myka because she wasn't actually prepared to share a bed with H.G., not that she didn't want to, or maybe she didn't, but it really didn't matter because H.G. had already limped halfway up the stairs by the time Myka had finally registered what was happening.
Myka had offered to change in the bathroom while she gave H.G. the chance to change in the bedroom. When Myka returned H.G. was already on the bed, with her leg propped up on a pillow.
They both tried to start a conversation a couple of times but neither knew what to say, even though they knew they had a lot to talk about. So they settled for silence instead. It was a long time before both agents finally fell asleep. And even though H.G. only fell asleep after dawn, since she really didn't like the dark ever since being bronzed, being near Myka made the dark seem less haunting. And she slept better than she had in weeks.
Myka got out of bed without waking H.G., walked over to her closet, grabbed some clothes and went to change in the bathroom.
After she had dressed and had freshened up she went downstairs. She walked towards the smell of coffee and breakfast and saw Artie and Leena already sitting at the dinner table.
"Good morning." She said as she sat down and got herself some coffee.
They both replied with a similar greeting.
"Any news from our mysterious guest?" She asked Artie.
"Both Mrs Fredric and me gathered as much information we could find. About the girl, her story, the artefact that brought her here. She really didn't say that much. So we didn't really have anything we could work on, beside the fact that some artefact will get into the wrong hands sometime soon and we must stop that from happening, otherwise things will go wrong - big time.
"But I'll explain everything in more detail when everyone gets down." Artie told her.
"Yeah where is everybody?" Myka asked.
"Well Pete, Steve and Claudia are in Emma's room. They claimed that they had to make sure she wasn't an alien or something like that and I assume H.G. is still asleep." Leena answered, "Ooh my, I totally forgot to prepare her room. I'm so stupid, how could I forget that! Where did she sleep? She didn't sleep on the couch did she? Because I saw her leg and the way..."
"Leena, please calm down it's alright!" Myka told the innkeeper "She wanted to take the couch at first but Pete and I talked her out of it. She took my bed. And what do you mean; making sure she's not an alien!?"
"She took your bed? Then where did you sleep?" Artie said before Leena could reply.
Myka wasn't really sure how to answer Artie. She knew Artie didn't really like nor trust Helena 100 percent. Even after he had spoke on her behalf to the regents.
"Well, we shared." She said carefully.
"So you shared a bed with H.G. Wells and she is still asleep?"
"No she isn't." Came Helena's reply form the doorway. "And good morning, by the way."
"H.G., I'm so sorry I totally forgot about your room with all that happened yesterday. I will prepare it as soon as possible." Leena told the Victorian writer.
"Leena darling, it was quite alright. I would have just taken the couch but both Pete and Myka insisted that I couldn't, so I shared with Myka. And I must say I haven't slept that well in ages." She finished with a wink towards Myka. Myka looked down at her plate, so no one would see the blush appearing on her cheeks.
Both Myka and H.G. missed the look Artie sent H.G., but Leena didn't. She made a note to talk about it with him later.

When Emma opened her eyes, she was met with three pair of curious eyes hovering above her. It took her a couple of seconds to realize where she was and whom the owners of the eyes were but before she could blurt something out, she also remembered that they weren't suppose to know that she knows who they are. This was going to be harder than she thought.
But maybe, if she just pretended that she hadn't opened her eyes...
"It's awake." Claudia said while taking a cautious step back, as if Emma had some sort of contagious disease now that she was awake.
"It's not an 'It' Claude, it's a girl." Came Steve's reply whom also took a step back, but to give Emma some space.
"We don't know that Jinksy, for all we know she lied to Mrs. F., Artie and the regents and she's really an alien. I'm not taking any risks until you check if she's telling the truth with your super powers."
"Whatever you say Claude."
The only person that was still hovering above her was Pete, who hadn't moved an inch since she opened her eyes. When Emma looked at him she was met with a finger poking her in the face. She gave him a stern look and the agent quickly withdrew his finger.
"I can assure you I am 100 percent human, so there is absolutely no reason to poke me in the face." She told the poking agent.
Pete and Claudia both looked at Steve for confirmation, who nodded at them.
"Sorry guys, hate to break it to you, but this girl is speaking the truth."
"Aw meeeen! I was really hoping that this kid was an alien. Just to sabotage H.G.'s ideas about time travel."
"You were theorizing with me just to annoy H.G.?! Pete that is pathetic."
"It wasn't to annoy her, I just meant that it would have been nice if she would be wrong for once, ya know...?"
Pete looked at Steve for support but the only thing he got was a shake of the head.
"But would it be great if the kid was an alien think about it, for all we know she's thinking about how to suck our brains out." Claudia said.
"You do know that this kid is right here!?" Emma said interrupting the three agents. "And who is H.G.?" She added just to be safe.
"Ooh right, where are our manners? Jeez Jinksy, I would have expected this from Pete and me, but definitely not from you!"
"What are you talking about?" Came Steve's confused reply, but the young caretaker to be had already shifted her attention back to Emma.
"I'm Claudia Donovan, these guys are Agents Pete Lattimer and Steve Jinks." Claudia said while pointing at both men.
Claudia continued "I'm guessing you already met Artie, he's the guy with the eyebrows. And then there's Leena, she's the innkeeper and then there's Myka and H.G. who are both agents as well. I do hope you know about the warehouse and everything."
"Yeah I know about the warehouse. And I'm Emma, by the way. Emma Montgomery. "
