It was only a matter of time.
She's antsy.
It's part the countdown clock, it's part the knowledge that the other shoe's got to drop soon, but it's also because of the vervain. Because of Steve and Bert and Lauren and Sam, because she's the enemy now, somehow. Because she's a bad guy, even though she's done pretty much everything she can to be anything but.
So she's antsy and walking and that's what's got her in one of the observatories, the kind that doesn't really have a door but is just sort of secluded off the main hall. It's a good place. Not hiding, but not really being out for public scrutiny.
And it's a little better, staring out at the silent, turning sky (with the countdown clock in one corner, because this place never lets you forget), until she hears the clink of a glass being set down. She turns, inhumanly fast, only to just... stop.
Because it's Mycroft. It's the one person she's compelled (which surely he remembers) and has fed from, even though she hadn't been herself.
"Hi." She just sort of breathes out that word, and apparently this is the other shoe.
