For the next day or so Myra refused to go on any missions or basically even come out of her room. She knew Charlie was just trying to do what's best for Myra, but that didn't make Myra feel any less terrible. Myra knew that Charlie had to be upset about the decision to break up as well but she also knew that Charlie hadn't missed any team meetings because of it.

Finally, Zari knocked on Myra's door and when Myra didn't answer, she let herself in.

Myra was curled up on her small couch under a blanket, watching Netflix, drinking an iced coffee and eating from a large bag of chocolate covered pretzels.

Zari looked at her, "What's going on with you?"

Myra looked up at her and paused her show for a minute before looking at Zari, "I don't want to talk about it."

"Breakup, huh?" Zari asked her.

Myra nodded, "Charlie broke up with me."

Zari sat down gingerly on the end of the small couch and stared at Myra, "Yeah we figured. Charlie's not doing so hot either."

"But apparently she's doing well enough to go to team meetings." Myra grumbled.

"I mean she's not really being helpful, if that makes you feel better." Zari said and then quickly added, "Don't tell her I said that."

Myra managed to crack a smile, "Don't worry, I won't."

"Anyway, Nate texted and asked why you don't answer him." Zari said.

"Ooh Nate?" Myra said in a teasing voice.

"Shut up." Zari blushed.

"And I'll answer him, I'm just not really in the mood to talk to people who aren't going through a bad breakup at the moment." Myra said sarcastically.

"Sorry." Zari apologized, "I just wanted to make sure you were okay."

"Yeah, I know." Myra answered her and tucked her knees up to her chest.

"Anyway. We were actually heading to the Bureau to drop off a mummy we captured, if you wanted to tag along." Zari said and then added, "Charlie won't be there, if you were worried about that."

Myra sighed, "I mean I should probably come anyways. Ava and Mona are having book club today and they invited me last time and it was actually fun so, I figured I'd keep going."

"Right. Anyway, we're leaving in like ten." Zari said, getting up from the couch and leaving the room.

Myra groaned and set her stuff aside before turning off her Netflix and getting up. Zari was right, she should go talk to Nate as she'd basically just ghosted him after the whole Neron thing which hadn't been her plan.

Myra changed into a different outfit and cleaned up in the bathroom after that before she joined Sara and Zari on the bridge who had the mummy.

"She's alive!" Sara teased.

"Shut up." Myra grumbled and looked at the mummy, "Sorry I wasn't there to help you get the mummy."

"It was pretty easy, luckily." Zari answered.

Myra nodded, "Regardless, I'm still sorry. I will try my best to be a proper Legend again."

Sara opened the portal and the three of them plus the mummy went through to the Bureau. The mummy snarled something as they led him down the hall.

"Yep, that's what they all say." Sara nodded.

"Oh, hey, ladies. Is he any trouble?" Ava asked as she approached them.

"Slam dunk. Honestly, with Neron gone, catching fugitives has never been easier. I thought it was gonna take all week." Sara answered.

"And Myra, how are you doing?" Ava asked.

"Great, everybody knows, huh?" Myra asked, glaring at her Captain.

"Sorry, Myra." Sara apologized.

Myra turned to Ava, "Doing okay. Zari dragged me out of my room so-"

Ava nodded, "Well, it will get better, promise." She then looked at Sara, "Well, that's great. Because it means you won't have to miss book club tonight."

"That's right-" Sara said slowly, "Book club."

Nate suddenly approached from behind them, "Whoa, smells like somebody hasn't showered since birds were letters. That's a hieroglyphs joke."

Myra backed up from him and went to stand next to Sara.

"Hah. Nice." Zari answered.

The mummy snarled at them.

"Whoa, buddy, don't talk with your mouth full, am I right?" Zari teased.

"Mummy's are the biggest dummies." Nate agreed and looked at the mummy, 'Hey you big dummy mummy, got your containment cell all set up, and we upgraded you to a king-size sarcophagus."

"Oh, and would you like a wake-up call from the front desk in I don't know, about a thousand years?" Zari added.

Ava, Myra and Sara all exchanged confused looks.

"What is happening?" Myra whispered.

"Nice." Nate said.

"Alright cool. Bye." Zari smiled.

"Bye." Nate said, leading the mummy away.

Ava looked at Sara and Myra, "I mean, what the hell was that?"

"On it." Sara agreed grabbing Myra.

"Yeah." Ava nodded.

Sara and Myra quickly caught up with Zari, "Z, how's it going?"

"It's going super awesome." Zari smiled.

"How are you and Nate?" Sara asked.

"It's, uh, it's going totally great, in a super platonic way." Zari answered.

Sara and Myra exchanged a look and Sara asked, "Then why are you guys being so weird?"

"It was that awkward huh?" Zari asked.

"Yeah, seriously, Z? That was probably the most awkward thing I've ever seen." Myra added.

"Even the mummy thought it was awkward." Sara stated and then said, "Look, I mean you like him, right?"

"Yeah, I think so, but I don't know what the next step would be." Zari said.

"Oh, that's easy. You just jump his bones." Sara said.

"Sara!" Myra grimaced and then looked at Zari, "You need to tell him how you feel, Z."

"What if it screws up our friendship?" Zari asked.

"Look, Z, sometimes for the good of the relationship, you have to put yourself outside of your comfort zone." Sara stated and then added, "For instance, I am going to read 500 pages of some trashy novel by tonight for Ava."

"Okay but trashy novels are great." Myra commented.

"Look, with Neron gone, now's the time for us to get our personal lives into order. I will help you." Sara finished.

"So will I!" Myra piped up.

"Please don't." Zari pleaded.

"Z, I need something to get my mind off of Charlie." Myra told her, "Plus, if I have to witness another awkward conversation between you and Nate, I think I will jump into the temporal zone."

"Besides, I'm a relationship expert." Sara said and walked away.

"Okay then." Myra said, "If you're not going to go find Nate, then I will."

"Myra!" Zari pleaded.

"You're the one who told me to." Myra said looking confused.

"Oh. Right." Zari looked relieved.

"Relax Z. I'm not going to talk to him about you if you don't want me to." Myra told her.

"Okay, I'll see you later." Zari nodded.

Myra nodded and went to go find Nate.
