The Sister

Chapter Eleven - Confrontation

Emma stood there telling Steve and Bucky everything she had learned about Jackson and Walker. They went over everything they could on how to get inside and confront them both, but they couldn't be certain what they were walking in on.

"Look, there isn't any other way. I go in there. I find out. You guys stealth mode, or something" She said.

"Emma, that's not much of a plan" Steve said.

"That's what we got. Now, we have to move, because from what I can work out. They are going to be on the move soon, going to sell the crystals"

"Did you find out where they are?" Steve questioned.

"No, but I have an idea on a posibility" She said.

Bucky and Steve both exchanged looks, before she took a deep breath and walked around the corner, heading for the gates, before either of them could stop her.

The place looked large, and she felt like a child walking into a haunted house alone, to show off for her friends that she wasn't frightened. When the whole time she walked, she felt like her legs were about to give out on her.

"Well, well, well. Look what the cat dragged in"

Emma looked over to her right, finding Walker standing there, almost as if he had been waiting for her.

"I'm here to speak with Jackson" She replied.

"He don't want to talk to you. Not after what you did"

"You mean after you lied to him, telling him I slept with you. When I wouldn't touch you with a barge pole" She replied.

He laughed, then slowly walked over to her.

"Honey, we both know, you would if you could"

"more like you would" She replied. "Where is he?"

"Not here"

"Bullshit"

Walker stood in front of her, looking her up and down, licking his lips like he was tempted to do something to her.

"What's going on?" Jackson's voice then said. "Who you talking......"

Walker stepped aside, showing him who was there.

"Emma"

Jackson was surprised.

"Can we talk?" She quickly said.

"Jackson, don't let her get into your head, we've done fine without her"

She could see he was conflicted about this, wanting to obey Walker, but at the same time, wanting to talk to her.

"Five minutes Jackson. Then I will go" She pleaded.

Jackson nodded.

Emma looked at Walker, smirking, before walking away from him, heading into the building, away from Walker, leaving him outside.

They headed into the barracks, Jackson closed the door behind her, then stood himself in front of it.

"Emma, about what happened in New York...."

She held up her hand to stop him from talking.

"I'm fine" She smiled. "Nothing that won't heal"

He crossed the room to her, quickly holding her close to his chest.

"I knew you would understand" He said. "Walker said you were siding with your brother. But I knew you wouldn't do that, that you loved me"

Emma slowly stepped out of his reach.
