For now, it was important to just let Helena get everything out. That had been part of what had caused the whole Trident Incident of 2010, or at least, Myka felt so. If Helena had allowed herself to express what she was truly feeling, hadn't kept all that pain and anger internalized, perhaps she wouldn't have felt that destroying the entire planet, resetting it, was the best course of action. Of course it was too late now to know for certain, but Myka firmly believed this and thus she let Helena speak her mind in regards to what was going on with Moriarty to keep her from going after the bastard.
That. And Myka had a strong desire to go after him herself. He hadn't physically harmed Helena, hadn't killed her. But he had still hurt her. And she didn't want to give him that chance to turn it physical. She wasn't losing someone she loved again. Not that it was the love she had for Sam. It was it's own love. That was friendship. Because... it was. And she wasn't thinking about this because when they got sent home, Helena would still be dead and she would have lost her all over again and she wasn't dealing with that. The fact remained, that Myka wanted to kill Moriarty herself to keep Helena from being hurt or going down that path of darkness again.
Did she think Moriarty would pull her into this? Perhaps on a subconscious level. After all. Helena just said that her being threatened made her lose her impulse control. If Moriarty actually knew that, well, she was in danger. Both Claudia and herself. And Myka saw Claudia as a younger sister, which meant her being in danger because of Irene's folly was not all right and made her more annoyed with the other woman than she had been before. Really. If this hadn't happened, Myka would probably still disapprove of the relationship between Helena and Irene, but it wouldn't be also complete anger at her for putting both Claudia and Helena in danger.
"You won't. I won't let you." The words could be considered laughable. No one could promise such a thing. But Myka was determined to keep Helena from dying. Determined that she be given the chance at life she so desperately deserved after all she had lost and sacrificed, momentary lapses in judgment and all.
Pacing in thought, Myka twirled a curl around her fingers as she didn't have a twizzler in which to chew on.
"The good thing about toying is that it means he won't do anything right away.... at least nothing physical." Or so the hope went. But Moriarty had been here longer than Myka had and it seemed that this was the first time he had outright done something to get those who were displaced thinking. It was the first time he had shown what he was capable of. If he could wait that long for that, messing with Irene would be slow and fun for him. Which meant that outright hurting Helena on the get go wouldn't get his desired end game.
Then again, Myka didn't speak psychopath so she could be completely off base with that assumption. And while that was what she would prefer to believe, they still needed to plan for anything.
"He'll have counter moves for everything, which means we need counter moves for everything...."
But Myka wasn't a chess player. She could come up with strategies to protect people, even the President of the United States, but that didn't mean she knew how to prepare for someone like Moriarty. But she could still use what she knew to protect Helena. Or at least try. It was a bit more difficult when it was really just herself and Claudia but she'd find a way to make this work.
