It is not clear to me what you are trying to do, but I don't think that you need two macros and that this following code might do want you want:



 documentclass[tikz, border=5mm]standalone
usepackagexparse

newcountermyC
NewDocumentCommandmyLOnorth O0%

path node[draw,mystep](1)at (themyC,0)one;
myL
path node[draw,mystep](2)at (themyC,0)two;
myL
endtikzpicture
enddocument


Here is the output:



enter image description here



Note in particular the use of a .code statement to step the counter. I also added some coordinates for placing the nodes in the path statements since otherwise everything is drawn on top of each other.
