42| SNOWED IN

[ Chapter Forty-Two ]

❝But since we're stuck until further notice, maybe we shouldn't turn on one another?❞

The next few moments were pure chaos as everyone tried to figure out what to do.

"We got to move. They're getting away!" Nate yelled.

"Get us out of here Gideon!" Sara instructed, strapping herself into her seat as the others ran for theirs.

The whole ship shook and Myra and Charlie exchanged worried looks.

"That's not good." Zari voiced all of their thoughts.

"By my calculations, we're buried beneath 357 feet of ice and snow. Plus, our primary temporal delineator has been rendered nonfunctional with the extreme weather." Gideon told them.

"Well shit." Myra murmered, as she got up from her seat.

"Well, so that's it, then? We're just snowed in?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah, at the Donner Pass." Zari added.

"No one's turning me into beef jerky!" Mick yelled.

"Yeah and I'm not volunteering myself to be eaten first." Myra added and looked at Sara, "Well, what are we supposed to do?"

"Everyone calm down! Gideon hail the Bureau." Sara instructed and headed over to the console to check on the call.

Unfortunately Ava didn't answer. Zari raised an eyebrow, "Should we leave a voicemail?"

"Ava will get the alert. In the meantime, we wait." Sara instructed.

"Gideon, how long until the ice thaws?" Sara asked.

"You're probably not going to like that answer." Myra sniped.

"Unfortunately Ms. Shang is right. The Ice Age ends in 11, 121 years." Gideon said.

"Told you." Myra said, leaning her hip on the console.

"All right, who we eating first? Cause shotgun not." Charlie said.

Myra smirked at her, "I already called not being eaten first."

"Captain, we're running on reserve power." Gideon told them, "I recommend disabling all nonessential functions to conserve energy for life support."

"Do it." Sara immediately responded, "We need to be responsible and conserve power. Cut off the main generator, the fabricator, and the thermostat."

Myra sighed, leaning her elbows on the console and burying her head in her hands.

"Neron is out there with Ray and Constantine all because we fell for his trap because you fired on Ray." Nate turned on Mick.

"And what was your plan, pretty? Beat him to death in a snowball fight?" Mick asked.

Before Nate could retaliate Myra stepped in front of him, "Hey. We're all angry, okay? But since we're stuck until further notice, maybe we shouldn't turn on one another?"

Nate ignored her and stepped around her, "We were supposed to take him in, not take him out, Mick."

"Ray's gone! When a team member goes dark you end them before they end you." Mick argued.

Though Myra desperately didn't want to start a fight she was angry, "Okay he didn't go dark. He was possessed. There's a difference. Also, John was down there and you could have killed him too, or are you okay with that as well?"

Before anyone else said anything Nate turned around and left.

Sara sighed, "Rory with me. You made the call. You're helping us get out of here."

"No problem." Mick followed her and left Charlie and Myra behind.

"Well that went well." Charlie said.

Myra groaned, "We better get out of here or I'll probably end up murdering Mick."

"We wouldn't want that." Charlie teased.

Myra never thought that she might die by being snowed in but currently bundled in the largest coat she could find, sitting in her room, she thought that that might end up happening.

Myra rested her chin on her knees as she tried to figure out what to do. Every solution that she could think of wasn't really a solution, and she felt absolutely useless.

A knock on her door broke her out of her thoughts and she looked up as Charlie opened the door.

"Just witnessed Rory and Sara arguing and tried to fix it but it didn't work." Charlie said and then looked at Myra curled up on her bed, "Are you okay?"

"Hmm?" Myra asked and then shook her head to get her mind to unclear, "Sorry, yeah you won't get anywhere trying to solve Mick's problems. Trust me, everyone here has tried."

"Noted." Charlie nodded, "But are you okay?"

"I mean impending doom isn't helping my mental health but yeah I'm doing okay." Myra responded.

"I'm sorry, I know I've asked you that way too many times recently, I just-" Charlie trailed off.

"You feel bad because you broke up with me and you think I'm going on a downward spiral because of that." Myra finished for her, "Well, I'm okay. I've been through break-ups before and this is not the worst thing I've ever been through."

Myra paused, "But thank you."

Charlie was quiet for a few minutes before she spoke again, "I know you're probably not ready yet, but I'd like for us to be friends."

Myra laughed, "I'd like that." Myra motioned for the seat beside her and Charlie came over and sat down next to her.

"I never thought I'd be this bored." Charlie complained as she draped a blanket over the two of them.

"Yeah. You know, I hate to say it but I kind of miss arguing with John." Myra agreed.

""You sure you don't just miss him for other reasons?" Charlie raised an eyebrow at her.

"Charlie?" Myra snapped, "I thought we weren't going to talk about this anymore."

"Fine." Charlie agreed, "Forget I mentioned it."

"Good." Myra nodded.

"Team meeting in the parlour, everyone." Sara's voice interrupted, on their comms.

"Bloody hell." Charlie cursed.

"Wonder what it is this time?" Myra agreed.
