Losing All Sense of Control

Chapter 2

I woke up the next morning, got ready, and headed out to the kitchen where I found Seb and Bucky talking to each other.

"Morning guys." I said and they turned to me.

"Morning Myra. You're up early." said bucky.

"Yeah, I figured I'd get up. Couldn't sleep."

"Something bothering you?" asked Seb.

I shook my head and asked, "So, when is the meeting?"

"It's scheduled for 8:30. Everyone will be there."

"Oh okay. I guess I'll see you guys then." I said and they said 'bye' also. I returned back to my room and not long after, there was a knock at my door. I walked over and opened the door revealing Seb. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"I was just checking up on you. Why couldn't you sleep?" he said and we went inside.

"You know, just couldn't"

"Myra." he said in a warning tone.

"Fine... I had a nightmare about all of you guys."

"What happened?"

"I don't know, I can't remember all of it but something went wrong with us trying to break the bonds and... and... you died. I couldn't save you. I can't lose you. You're the only person that I have that I care about. It felt so real."

Seb hugged me reassuringly and said, "Don't worry. It wasn't real. You won't lose me. I'll be fine."

"But what if you won't? I can't live with the thought of that."

"I'll be fine." Seb said while embracing me still. We stayed there for a little while longer until he let go and said, "Come on, go get dressed. We have a meeting to attend."

I nodded and he let me be and left the room

When I was ready, I headed downstairs.

When I reached the sitting room, everyone was already there, except for Seb. I walked over to Lance and asked him if he knew where Seb was. "I think he said that he wasn't going to today's meeting."

"Huh... that's weird. I was just talking to him."

"What do you mean?" Lance asked, "He left a little bit after we got back last night and shouldn't be back til tonight. He said he needed to meet someone, or something like that."

What did he mean he left? Who was I talking to earlier? "Thanks Lance."
Millions of questions were swarming my head during the entire meeting that I didn't even listen to what Coulson asked me. "I'm sorry, what did you ask?"

"I asked if you could go back to meet Jim Moriarty for information on what he knows about you. We have a feeling that he knows more than we think."

"Oh, why can't you get Lieo to do it. She's his daughter."

"It's complicated." Lieo said.

"You're already affiliated with him from one of your past lives. So that means that you have, let's say, experience, with him." said Coulson.

I sighed and agreed, "Anything else? Or could I just go already?"
"Yeah one more thing..." he paused, "You're going to have to do this alone."

"What? Why?"

"It would be easier to get to him alone."

I nodded and asked, "When do I leave?"
"In a couple of hours. But when you do find him, be careful. He's dangerous. And when I said 'alone', I mean it. No help from Sherlock Holmes or John Watson, or anyone else in that world. Do you understand?"
