Chapter Text
Some days it's harder for her to ignore the constant pull. Its always there ,she can usually throw herself into her work, but everyday a little more of Helena's resolve would ebb away.
Helena sighed, putting down the book she was trying to read,the walls of her apartment seeming to close in around her.She could feel herself being pulled to the Warehouse. Not just Warehouse 13, Myka was always there, in her dreams, always in her thoughts.
Helena knew the moment she wasn’t alone, and wasn’t the least bit surprised to find Mrs. Fredric standing in her living room, though she was a bit surprised to see Claudia there as well. In the end it didn’t take much to convince her to return to the Warehouse ;but their visit had left her with the feeling that there was something the two women weren’t telling her.
Pete nearly bowed her over when she entered the B&B, his hug taking her by surprise, he looks tired and there were dark circles under his eyes. He seemed to be the only one there, after convincing him she was “ back-back for good” he introduces her to Abigail. It turns out that Claudia and Steve are off investigating a “Ping”.Aritie and Myka are back at the warehouse.The feeling that there is something more is still there,but she cant help the way hear stomach clenches at the mention of Myka’s name.
When she gets to the Warehouse Artie is leaving,she can’t help but notice he looks just as tired as Pete.
The familiar scent of apples surrounds her when she finally enters the warehouse,here eye are immediately drawn to the woman sitting at a desk,her attention on the paperwork surrounding her.
“Hello darling”.
The sound of her voice draws Myka’s attention,and then she’s in her arms and Helena is burying her nose in dark curls,inhaling the familiar scent of Myka’s shampoo.In that moment she feels more at home than she had in the past year,
Their embrace seems to last longer than it actually is.Both women needing to convince themselves that the other was truly there.When they pulled apart Helena was taken back by Myka's appearance.She looked smaller than the Myka in her memory and her skin was pale.
“Myka.What’s wrong?"
I have cancer.
The words knocked the air out her lungs ,her heart in her throat,Suddenly it all came together,the feeling that there was something more that no one was telling her.Why Pete and Artie looked so worn out. All of a sudden her world was crashing down around her again.
