Mystery from Another World--MHA

Part 132: Silk solves the problem

Mirko didn't care for Miss Joke's questions and intrusive curiosity...and the fact that she caught on.

But the whole thing with the LOV was over, once and for all, Rumi thought to herself. After this, there was no point to it anymore...unless the Originals struck again around them...which they probably would, but that could be weeks or months from now. And she wasn't going to be poking around the LOV any more if she could avoid it.

The whole thing made her uneasy. She didn't like not knowing what was going on with that cult.

She must have spent hours patrolling before she finally went home. She spent way more time here than usual lately... She was almost getting used to the place feeling normal.

Come to think of it, she really should clean it or something if she was going to spend more time in the area...

She went up to her door and unlocked it. Going in, she turned to shut it...and froze.

Stuck to the inside of her door was a throwing star and another note.

She flipped on a bright light and stared. This one was not in code like the other one. At least it didn't seem like code.

It just said a few short sentences: It will be your time soon. Be ready. Rabbits are in season.

Mirko thought the last part was in really poor taste...

She stared at the note.

Then she looked around her house.

First a tree...now they'd actually come in here--they could still be in here now.... 

What was this, a threat? A warning? An offer?

She started shaking, not sure what to do or why it was getting to her so much.

She was afraid to even go into her house, but then she smacked herself. This was stupid. Why leave a note if they were just going to wait for her in person anyway?

She forced herself to go into the other areas of her apartment: the kitchen...the bedroom...the gym...nothing. No one was there. The window wasn't even open.

But they could come back at any time. It wasn't just a one time thing...

Mirko bit her lip. Then she grabbed her travel bag out from under her bed. 

"Frick this, I'm not staying around here waiting for them," she muttered.

But...where would she go? Any hotel they could trace her to... She didn't have any friends. Likstar would let her stay at UA...but that was no good. She couldn't work from UA. Someone would see her leave. It was ridiculous.

There wasn't anywhere to go. Mirko started to have something like a panic attack. She had to calm down...

This was not like her at all! What about this group rattled her so badly? Just not knowing when they could strike?

Even so, she took her bag, once it was ready, and walked out of her house, locking the door. She took the note with her and the throwing star. 

She doubted it was chipped. Why chip the house of someone you knew? And why bug it if you knew they'd get rid of the weapon?

She wasn't sure where to go now...

After finding somewhere to crash temporarily, the LOV didn't talk much about what happened as a unit...

Silk and Compress discussed it privately-- and what happened to Medea

Medea's headache kept getting worse and better by turns. If she slept, it would go away, but she would have dreams that seemed like half memory and half nightmare.
