It had only been 12 hours.
12 hours since Homecoming and 8 hours since the news that Adrian Toomes had in fact been The Vulture had broken to the citizens of New York.
After making sure Peter was all stitched up last night from his injuries, Mira had spent the rest of the night with Michelle on Skype with Sammy, the three of them finally going through with their original plans for her birthday.
It was almost 2 pm when her mom finally let her leave the house. Her mother and Rhodey had bit their tongues about what had gone down last night until the second Michelle went home promising to be back in a few hours. Her mother was obviously concerned given the news that the father of one of their fellow students was in fact a crime boss.
Mira didn't want to even imagine how much Jessica might hate her if she found out who her father was.
After two hours of lectures and worried hugs, followed by more no walking into danger without warning them speeches, Mira was finally standing in front of a familiar yellow building.
SAFEGUARD SELF STORAGE.
Staring up at the building in front of her, she locked her jaw, determination spreading through her veins. She was going to do this. She needed to do this. The past few weeks, hell, ever since Germany, maybe even since St Louis, she had been living in the past. Trying to convince herself that she was fine despite the fact her mind kept yanking her back to a safe space pre-getting her powers. Her hallucinations were a trap, keeping her locked in place, unable to truly move on and push forward with her new reality.
This storage unit was the only chance she had at finally gaining some semblance of closure.
Mira didn't want to be lost.
She had felt so lost in oblivion since the truth about her father had come to light, she had done nothing but stumble and lose her way since that moment, trying to pretend that she wasn't completely falling apart at the seams.
—She didn't want to be trapped anymore.
She wanted to be free, to finally have peace even if she would never have a proper sense of closure. But...she didn't need it. She didn't need her father to re-appear in her life to offer her some semblance of sanity, she didn't want to let him keep having that kind of control over her even while he was millions of miles away.
Mira didn't want to be helpless in her own mind anymore.
She wanted to figure out who she was on her own accord, something that would never happen while every decision she made was still somewhat influenced by a missing face who had betrayed and abandoned her.
