I won't let you down.

( the 'again' hangs there, unsaid and deafening, and there's only a moment of beth staring blankly at her phone before she looks up the coordinates, scribbles detailed directions up the inside of her forearm and leaves her phone in a drawer. small gesture, the least she can do surely.

she hasn't gotten around to actually getting a car yet for a number of reasons so the transit takes some time. not least of all because wherever the hell MK is leading her seems to be the middle of goddamn nowhere. she's at the point of doubting her directional ability, or wondering if MK has maybe just deliberately led her into said middle of nowhere as.....a prank? Unlike her. Punishment, maybe, but it's still not really her style. And then Beth literally trips over the entrance.

It's a sweaty, mildly frustrated Beth with the beginnings of a scab on her shin that finally clambers into the passage way and finds the Literal Super Villain Lair Door waiting open for her. It's all very creepy and sets her nerves on edge, but then she spots MK in the shadows and all that nervous energy is forgotten. It's her, exactly as she remembers her, and it's a goddamn miracle that Beth doesn't start tearing up all over again. )


Mika. ( It's a champion effort that keeps her voice even, and her lips press tight into a weak smile as she walks closer. ) Hey.
