"Ooh, you're cooking?" Mira practically dashed into the kitchen. "You know, I skipped dinner at the estate because I was in no mood to eat. Not with my brother keeping everyone on edge. But coming over here and getting a whiff of this? I change my mind." She returned to the paper bag she had brought and proudly pulled out a bottle of wine. "Good thing I came prepared." Adrian only sighed. "Stand back, you might burn yourself." A few minutes later, he plated everything and carried it to the living room. There wasn't a dining table yet, so they ate around the coffee table instead. Mira kept trying to start conversations about random things. The weather, Snow City, the neighbors, a stray cat she saw on the way over… Eventually Adrian told her to focus on eating before her food got cold. After that, they ate in comfortable silence. When they finished, Adrian uncorked the wine and poured a glass for her first. He slid it across the table, "Drink." Mira looked at the glass, then at h

The next day was charity day for Mira-Jane. From the moment she stepped out of her hotel, supporters waved signs with her name on them and children held up drawings they hoped she would notice as cameras captured every moment. She smiled through all of it. Her first stop was an orphanage on the eastern side of Sunset City. The building had suffered damage during the war but had recently been renovated. The staff welcomed her warmly, and dozens of children rushed forward excitedly. For nearly an hour she played games with them, helped them paint pictures, listened to their stories and posed for photos. At one point, a little girl wrapped her arms around Mira-Jane's waist and refused to let go. The cameras practically exploded with excitement. It was the perfect image. Mira-Jane somehow maintained her smile until she finally made it back to her vehicle. The moment the door shut behind her, she immediately grabbed a bottle of hand sanitizer. "Oh my goodness." She squeezed half t

Scofield Estate. Barry scoffed as he watched the replay of Mira-Jane Fletcher's arrival on television, "She must feel like some kind of hero or something. Look at that crowd." The screen showed thousands of people cheering as Fletcher waved from her convoy. "Let her have her moment." Michael said calmly from his chair. "Soon, she'll be regretting all of that." Barry looked away from the television. "You still haven't told me what you're planning. Everything we've tried so far has failed. I even spoke to Isaac, he got nothing. How are you so calm?" Michael folded his hands. "Because I'm Michael Scofield." Barry rolled his eye. Michael continued, "And because I believe desperation will always overcome loyalty. Especially when the people you're loyal to keep screwing you over." Barry's expression changed, "Is this about Cobe Marshall?" "We'll see." Barry swallowed. Even after all these years, there were times when Michael completely lost him. The frightening part was that he us

After a series of practiced smiles, endless handshakes, and enough waving to make her arm ache, Fletcher finally arrived at her hotel. The moment the elevator doors opened onto the private floor reserved for her, the cheerful expression she had worn all day began to crack. By the time she reached the presidential suite, there was nothing left of the charming public figure the city adored. The door shut behind her and she immediately kicked off her heels and sent them flying across the room. "What an exhausting ride." She groaned, dropping onto the edge of the bed. "Are the roads always that bumpy?" Her assistant calmly set down a folder. "Most of the roads affected by the war are still undergoing repairs. Reconstruction efforts are ongoing throughout the city." Mira-Jane stared at her. "Okay, know-it-all." The assistant remained silent. Mira-Jane rolled her eyes and stretched her legs. "Now get out, all of you. I need to get some rest." The assistant nodded and the guards began

The reporters immediately swarmed Jane the moment she stepped out into the open. Microphones were pushed toward her from every direction. "Is it true that you dated Michael Scofield briefly?" One reporter asked. "What was he like?" Another followed. "Did he ever hurt you?" "Was he difficult?" Jane slowly removed her sunglasses and cleared her throat, it was obvious she was enjoying every second of the attention. "Well, Michael and I did date briefly…" She began with a small smile. "But I was never aware that he was a Scofield. Well, except maybe those two lackeys he always had around him. Ben and Jack? I don't remember their names, but they seemed to trust him a lot." Her friends standing nearby nodded along. More questions came flying at her, but Jane ignored them and continued speaking. "Oh, and Celia too. She definitely knew. That's why she always defended him. Hah, That bitch sure played the long game." With that, she pushed past the crowd and continued walking. Then sudde

"So now what?" Barry asked in frustration. He dropped heavily into his chair and stared at the dead monitor. "We can't even hack her. She seems invincible." The destroyed system sat in front of them like a trophy belonging to Mira-Jane Fletcher. Nobody liked it. Adrian rubbed his face and let out a tired sigh, "We'll look for other ways." Mira immediately rolled her eyes. "Oh come on." She leaned back in her chair, "What other way is there than to snipe her? She's already proven that she has us right where she wants us. What she won't see coming is a bullet heading straight for that brain of hers." Her gaze shifted toward Michael. "Come on, brother. You're thinking about it too. Let's just get this over with, yeah?" Michael looked at her firmly. "No. And let this be the last time you bring that up." The room fell silent immediately. Mira's smile disappeared, "Or what?" Nobody spoke, the atmosphere suddenly became too hard to breathe in. Max quietly leaned back in his chair, “
