I'm Brazilian, my first language is Portuguese. All mistakes are mine (and also, I can forget some word), so thanks for all for patience reading this which will be full of mistakes.
Before you start reading, I want to thanks each visitor, which added this story to follow/favorite, or just read. I've never imagined that I would have so many visitors for this fic. So, Thanks!
If my grammar is hard to follow, I'm really sorry for that, I'm trying my best. I also accept some help with grammar, or suggestions/critique. If you think that I need correct something, or just want to suggest some adaptation, you are welcome. (tips about vocabulary are welcome too!)
I'm not very confident about my grammar, so I don't know if you can understand everything (with some difficulties) or superficially. I know that I'm better reading than writing, so if my grammar is annoying or hard to follow, I'm really sorry for that.
And thanks for all patience reading all these chapters with a ton of mistakes and with the delay.
There is another note in the end of this chapter.
The rain only stopped near dawn, which made Helena awake, noting the lack of the loud noise of the drops hitting the windows, also noticing an extra weight. She was slow to understand that Myka, Myka, who had curled up in Helena including placing one leg between the legs of Helena, who smiled at the scene.
She placed a kiss in Myka's forehead, inhaling deeply the scent of her hair, before to unsaddle her, getting up from bed. She gave a look on the iPod's clock, stating that in soon Myka will wake for another work day. She also know that she couldn't back to sleep, so grabbed a sweatshirt borrowed of Myka, and headed to kitchen to enjoy a mug of tea. She learned that one mug of tea can be more comforting than anything else, is a unique moment for each mug. Upon reaching the kitchen, she found Pete eating a bowl of müsli*.
"I didn't expect you here, H.G." – Pete said startling her.
"Hello Pete." – Helena said as she took the kettle, putting water on it. – "I came here after going to warehouse, to thanks Claud, but she wasn't there, but Myka yes." – Pete continued in silence, eating the müsli.
Pete finished his bowl, still remaining in the place, watching Helena separate a sachet of black tea and a mug, and put the kettle on stove.
"I think we need talk about some things, like..." – Pete started saying, but soon was interrupted by Helena.
"Pete, I never wanted or asked your forgiveness. My regrets are already marked in my soul strong enough to have no forgiveness, and make me feel guilty for the rest of my life. The least I expect from you is that you try, at least understand me, I don't expect your respect, your friendship, your trust, or anything else. Today I know that my mistake have hurt a lot…" – Helena paused, crossing her arms and leaned against the counter beside the stove.
"I know you still see me as a villain and threat, also imagine that you have anger or any negative emotion about me, but just keep in mind that I'm not going to hurt or betray her trust again. I know I should never have dared to betray her trust once, and I will always carry in my mind the guilty. The best I can do is try to give a reason for all you remember my good deeds than mine bad deeds." – Helena paused at the exact moment the kettle began to whistle. Pete continued watching Helena, as she put hot water in the mug, preparing the infusion of tea.
"Yes, I still see you as a reason to be angry. But you just take a small reason to me try not seeing you as villain or threat: your promise not to hurt Myka, because you now have a immense value to her, since you are part of her happiness, and has a long time since I've seen her that way. So the least I can do, beside try to understand you, is to thank and warn: don't go back." – Helena took a sip, enjoying the taste of tea, and prepared before to answer.
"I have no plan to go back. On the contrary, I intend to continue straight ahead"
Nobody heard Myka arriving, until her said.
"Continue straight ahead with what?"- Myka said scaring everyone, and breaking the tense atmosphere.
"Nothing." – Pete said automatically, as he put the bowl in the sink.
"We were discussing some things about the warehouse." – Helena rapidly said, giving a complicit gaze to Pete, taking a long sip of tea. Myka made an expression of who though their reaction strange and slightly suspect, as if not understanding what had happened. She approached Helena, holding her, looking at Pete, who made a gesture showing that didn't care about kisses and any tender manifestation.
Myka gave a slightly kiss in Helena, tasting tea. Helena put the mug in the counter, holding Myka with her hands in Myka's hips.
"I'll leave the couple in love, e back to my room." – Pete said, leaving the kitchen, making both woman smiles.
"You woke early…" – Myka said after remaining in this position for moments.
"Yes, the lack of rain's noise woke me. I hope you haven't been waked when I got out of bed." – Helena said, looking the window, noticing that the rain was back.
"I woke because of your absence. I thought you were gone..." – Myka was biting her lower lip, also her voice was little altered, showing her fear of being abandoned.
"I'm sorry for giving that impression. I didn't want you to wake." – Helena gently touched Myka's face, as if consoling.
"It's still a little early…" – Helena agreed, looking at the hours on the kitchen's clock.
"And the rain is coming quietly, so I imagine you can get some more sleep." – Both have separated; Helena finished the rest of tea in a long slip, while Myka waits for her, leaning in the kitchen's door.
The rain didn't back violently, but was kind of rain that seems never end, and the more rain, more flooded the streets. Helena settled in bed, while Myka closed the curtains, so that none strong light dare to penetrate the room, and then she had settled after getting tangled up in Helena again, causing Helena to smile and engage with one arm. With her free hand, Helena had been stroking Myka's hair. Myka soon fell asleep, while Helena had been awake until she fell asleep with the torpor of sleep that came with Myka's calm breathing as well as the touch of Myka's soft skin.

Myka woke with the alarm clock this time, but still feeling the human warmth of Helena, which makes her smile. They were almost glued to the body in the other, with the face in front of another, within a reasonable distance.
Helena hadn't awake yet, or at least, hadn't shown it, so Myka began around gently the traces of the serene face of Helena, who smiled as she felt the touch waking her, but Myka hadn't give time to Helena open her eyes because Myka was kissing her.
"Good morning darling." – Helena said smiling even more, completely awake, admiring the immense of Myka's green eyes.
"There is no better way of being wake." – Helena added, still feeling Myka's soft touch on her face. Myka took the hand, to lean on her elbows, letting her hair down covering her face, which made Helena put a lock of hair behind her ear.
"I think it will be a good idea to go to porch to have breakfast." – Myka suggested, noticing a look of mild panic of Helena.
"Don't worry, Artie won't be here, he had to resolve some things with Mrs. Frederic." – Myka rapidly added, seeing a relieved look in Helena.
"Not counting Artie and Mrs. Frederic, there is only Claud, right?" – Myka nodded.
"Let's go." – Helena said before kiss Myka, then getting out of the bed, resting only Myka in bed, watching her with a shy smile.
"You can borrow some of my clothes, if you want. I won't bother." – Myka said standing up, in order to advance some routine services, like get the iPod charger off of outlet. Helena opened Myka's wardrobe, finding some clothes to her size and liking, going to the bathroom. Soon after, it was Myka's turn.
A few minutes later, they were leaving the room. Perhaps coincidentally, Claud was also out of her room, meeting the couple, being surprised.
"I need to upgrade my operating system urgently, because I feel the absence of new information, or am I mistaken?" – Claud was still surprised, making the couple laugh.
"We intended to tell you now." – Myka said, looking at Helena, who just completed talks while take Myka's hands.
"So we're dating."
"I knew this day would come!" – Claud said cheerful, surprising both with her comment. – "Oh come on guys, has a fantastic dynamic between you both, and I say: is a beautiful couple! But I'm really happy for you both!" – Claud finished, then hugging them.
The three women went to the porch, where Pete and Leena were already. Helena looked to Pete, who was more worried with the cookies than anything else. Claud switched place with Helena, so she could stand by Myka. Despite fears of Helena, the breakfast went without problems, even talked and laughed as if it were just another typical day.
When they finished, they decided to go to the warehouse to begin another work day. Helena had volunteered to help Claud organize files, which was readily accepted, while Pete and Myka would be responsible for making the routine inspection of artifacts. Helena wanted to just go back to warehouse slowly, so it could help she adapt as had been long enough to she forget what was the routine. She also believed it would be easier to return to the missions, not to mention that she needed some activity to distract herself during the day, as she could see more Myka.
Helena liked Claud, not because of her knowledge about technology, but they share some similar pain. She believed that having a friendship with Claud could partially alleviate her pain, as well as her confidence wouldn't be totally restricted to Myka. It could also learn a bit about technology, one of her biggest difficulties in the modern world.
Claud always had difficulty to trust someone, because always had the feeling that she was left out most of time, as would be abandoned sooner or later, but Helena was part of her family, so she wouldn't have difficulty in trusting her, for knowing that the warehouse and its members were now her refuge, after her brother had accepted the job offer in Switzerland, she felt less lonely.
Helena and Claud had some similarities, even though they're completely from different times, which was another reason for friendship; Claud, when organizing files, exploited the situaton to show a thing or other about the changes in the system files that involved some tech gadgets. At first, Helena hadn't felt confident, but Claud nearby, was gaining confidence to, at least, handle those gadgets.
Meanwhile, Pete and Myka were checking the aisles, checking manifestations as well as update the registry of the artifacts in the system. They talked briefly about the conversation between Pete and Helena, although Pete has preferred to omit some details, because there was no need to comment. They continued the conversation talking about different things, as they always did.

Helena had heard that Artie was back in the warehouse, and then decided to go after Myka. She found her in the Pete's cave, where they were playing billiards. Myka when saw Helena, stopped play, seeing in her eyes that she wanted to tell Artie.
"Artie returned to warehouse." – Helena said as Myka was close enough to a low conversation.
"You intend to tell him, no?" – Myka looked at the worried eyes of Helena, who nodded.
"You want me to go with you?" – Myka started biting her lower lip.
"It isn't necessary. I guess it will be better I do it alone. You're his favorite agent, and I don't want to shake it." – Myka made a worried expression, - "Don't worry darling, everything will be alright in the end. I believe that if we tell today, there is no need to hide our relationship, as well as into the future could be a reason for Artie mad. And it will be hard to hide our relationship here."
"Right… good luck." – Myka still biting her lower lip, slightly worried. She knows Artie wasn't a fan of Helena. As if to reassure, Helena kissed Myka, ignoring the presence of Pete. They separate, each going in one direction: Helena going to find Artie, and Myka returning to the game.
"She is going to tell, no?" – Pete asked, watching Myka's face.
"Yes…" – Myka seems be very worried; Pete noticed that, so hugged her.
"Hey, don't worry, everything will be okay, he may not like the relationship, but he will accept because this relationship is of his favorite agent. He have you in high value, and he will know that if he try to force Helena disappearing off the map or do something bad with Helena, you will be indirectly hurting, and he doesn't want that. He had problems enough with you, and won't like to once again have other problems." – Myka said nothing, just stood in the hug for a few moments. Helena quickly found that Artie was near Pete's cave. She didn't know what to say, but she knew she had to do it.
"Artie, I need talk with you." – Helena startled him. Artie made an expression similar of someone trying to guess the reason for the conversation, and what the conversation was. What Helena didn't expect was to hear Mrs. Frederic's voice.
"I think I would like to hear too." – Helena froze.
*müsli is also known as muesli. Müsli is the german word, and muesli is the English word. I'm more used with müsli, so this is why I used the german word (although I think that this is a known word for Americans, or I'm wrong?)
A/N:
Sorry again for the delay, I got sick again, then Christmas came and I had to travel. Now I'm home, with this fucking brazilian summer (believe me, you don't want to know brazilian summer), but fine and hoping not be sick again, because it isn't fair (after all, I don't want be sick on vacations, and yes on school times. Vacations are supposed to be funny and great, and school is supposed to be hell. Right? So why I can't be sick when I really pray to get?).
I hope that your Christmas (or any other celebration of another religion that the names aren't coming to mind) was great, with family or at least with people loved.
Also, thanks to LOCISVU, who always send reviews. That makes all the difference in the world.
I think tomorrow or today I will bring another chapter; I refuse to end the year in the chapter 13.
Okay, it's better I stop of writing because I believe that many of you doesn't read these notes.
See ya!
