Part 2: Anticipation

"So, what's the plan?"

It was my first mission, and it was clear I was feeling jittery. My legs were shaking; my tongue dry. They expected me to infiltrate  some high-security building for one reason or another and I was nervous.

I've never been nervous before. I've always been so sure of myself, always knowing where I stand and how people truly feel about me. It was safe.

This was not safe.

"All you have to do is get us to the elevator without anyone stopping us," Peter said stiffly.

I tried to ignore his tone of voice and wrote it off as him just being annoyed with me.

I nodded but said nothing. Mohinder stopped the car we were currently in and turned back to us.

"Get in, get Parkman, get out. No stops along the way," he looked pointedly at Peter.

Peter scoffed quietly and slid out of the car. I looked at Mohinder and smiled weakly.

"Don't be nervous, you'll do fine," he said calmly. My head tingled for a moment and I knew he was lying. Something was up. There was something they weren't telling me.

All I knew was that we had to save some guy named Matt from some other evil dudes. But it seemed like there was something else going on too...

I got out of the van and Peter and I walked toward the ominous-looking building.

I tried not to look too suspicious or nervous but it wasn't working. Beads of sweat were rolling down my face and my breath was coming out uneven.

Suddenly I was pulled close into a warm form body and a hand wrapped around my waist.

"Relax, (Y/n). You have nothing to worry about," Peter whispered into my ear.

I could tell he wanted to say more, but the slightly agitated look on his face made me scared to ask.  But even though I was scared and confused, I wiped the sweat from my face and let a small smile show on my lips. I can do this, it'll be easy peasy. Especially with Peter at my side.

But I couldn't get the thought out of my head that something was wrong.

I expected him to let me go but instead he pulled me close and we walked arm and arm towards the scary building.

I could almost imagine us strolling through a park on a warm, sunny day.

Too bad this was the real world.
