Sorry about the delay, I had it written I just didn't have time to edit. Anyway this is just a bunch of PetexMyka (not Pyka!). Have fun!
"Mykes... Myka... Hey steady there. Since when do you get drunk off your ass?"
Myka stumbles and Pete steadies her placing his hands on her shoulders. Pete found Myka at a hotel not far from where he was staying for the night and after a short conversation with Helena he quickly made his way over only to find Myka arguing with a man trying to get him to give her a new key card. Pete leads them back to Myka's room and swipes the key card he got at the reception after flashing his badge.
Myka settles down onto the plush chair while Pete sits at the edge of the bed rubbing his hands together like he's going to do something he would much rather not.
"Okay so I have to say something but this conversation never happened, which probably shouldn't be that hard considering you'll forget everything in the morning. Also can you just not look at me like that?"
"Like what?" Myka slurs.
"Like I killed your puppy and served him to you for dinner!"
"Pete!"
"Okay so here goes nothing. Myka I haven't exactly been on team H.G. but I do see the looks you guys pass and let's just say there's a fire burning there. Let me just say when I first realized I thought you were insane maybe lady cuckoo there had you under the influence of an artifact but I see the way you look at her and I see how you've been beating yourself up about it and Myka you're my partner and I love you and I hate to watch you suffer because you love somebody. And given it's a woman and not just that but it's a woman who has time and time again proven to be a psychopath capable of ending the world as we know it but you know what you're the chink in her armor. She is a woman who has been through a lot and she has walls built over a century of hatred and anger that festered while she was in the bronze and for you Myka she brought them down. I know she hurt you, she betrayed all of us just when she became a part of our family and that sucked but you shouldn't give up if you love her. Besides if you're afraid I can always watch when you get together to make sure she doesn't try anything."
"I'm sure you would love that"
Pete smirks.
"Yeah I kindda would. Maybe I could bring Steve along, though it wouldn't do much for him" he shrugs.
A silence settles in where Myka almost drifts asleep.
"So do you love her?"
She doesn't answer for a while even though it isn't really a question to begin with, all that's left is to voice the feeling that set her on self-destruct in the first place. "I do." Her voice is barely a whisper but she has let go of years of emotions tucked away with stolen glances and snuffed out passion. The two words she has just said are everything that has threatened to tear down her world and yet they are the two words she cannot escape from. Despite all her failed attempts at hating the woman she cannot help but love her.
Pete nods. "Okay so what's the problem?"
"It's not that simple, Pete" Myka has no idea if she will remember this talk in the morning, she can barely keep track of the words as they leave her mouth.
"Looks pretty simple to me, Myka. In our line of work we're lucky to find someone, especially someone who knows everything and isn't afraid. I mean I had Kelly, I thought she was the one and once she knew she was gone. Let's face it if not her I'm your only other option and can I just say eew!"
"Pete!"
"I'm just saying, not that I wouldn't make the sacrifice for you." He shrugs with an exaggerated gesture.
"Oh, the sacrifice! How could I ever repay you?" Myka bats her eyelashes.
"Well luckily you'll never have to. Talk to your lady love. Make up. Let me watch. Easy peasy"
