Glass

Reemergence

Three months later...

Elijah was entering his large office in his comic book shop where he had stored some important documents last time he was here, he was in quite a good mood as he had found a gang of thugs who were willing to work with him in the future, they would be essential to his plan to take down Crumb in the future. The documents in question happened to be Stevens files on each of his alters, Elijah was planning on using that to find their weaknesses and take him down that way. He stuffed the documents in his brown leather bag before locking the door behind him.

He was about to walk out when he felt like he wasn't alone, he turned to look around the shop but couldn't find anyone, shrugging it off as just nerves he carried on walking towards the exit until he heard footsteps coming from behind him, he turned around and saw nothing again.

"Is someone there?" he called out walking back a bit to see if he could see anyone, when he was adamant no one was there he turned around to carry on walking outside when all of a sudden a gunshot was sounded and it hit him right in the shoulder, he fell to the floor screaming in pain until he saw his attacker "Emma" he said surprised that she would do this.

"We have waited a long time to see you again my friend" Emma said in a malicious voice that, despite coming from her, didn't sound like her at all.

"How did you find...me?" he asked

"The gang you've been having meetings with for the past couple of months have been working for me, they led me straight to you for someone so smart you really do lack a certain amount of caution when trusting the common thug" she explained 

"Why are you doing this?" he panicked as he saw her take out a wicked looking knife, twirling it in her hand, she laughed hysterically an insane, dangerous laugh which spiked fear into Elijah paralyzing him to the ground.

"You have been a pain in our ass for too long "Mr Glass", I think it's time to put a stop to that don't you?" she whispered kneeling down next to him an evil glint in her eyes.

"No, no please don't, this isn't you Emma please have mercy" Elijah begged, he had pushed her too far and now he realized there was no way out of this.

"Shush, shush, shush, I'm sorry Elijah the time for mercy has passed you are too dangerous to be kept alive I'm afraid" 

"Your not Emma who are you motherfucker who are you?" Elijah cried out until Emma put her gun to his head.

"Your right I'm not Emma I'm someone better...Emma has always been soft on you, she wanted to arrest you but look how well that turned out last time" she said whilst cocking her pistol "Oh well looks like I'll take care of you more...permanently"

"Who the hell are you?" Elijah whispered 

"You know I'm surprised you didn't do your research on us, all this time you were focusing on Crumb...maybe you should have been paying more attention to your sister instead cos I'm way more dangerous than Crumb could ever be" she chuckled as the realization dawned on Elijah's face.

"Your one of them" he stammered "I thought you were gone"

"No, not gone simply biding my time before I took the light again, You see as much as Emma thought she got rid of us she was wrong about me at least I remained hidden, weakened but very much alive and now as the grand entrance to my first appearance what better way to start with a bang by killing you"

"No,no please don't" 

"No, no please don't shut up there's no dignity in begging for your life especially since I'm not giving it to ya" Emma spat.

"Emma why are you doing this?" Elijah begged, Emma huffed as her eyes narrowed, looking more like snake eyes.

"Don't call me that, that's not my name" she growled digging the gun closer to his head

"Then who are you?" Elijah whimpered

"My name is Jason and I'm the one who's gonna stop your reign of terror" Jason whispered psychotically, his finger coiling around the trigger "Goodbye brother" he sneered.

Elijah realized there was no way out of this and closed his eyes praying that this Jason would make it quick when all of a sudden he felt the pressure of the pistol that was pressed against his head subside as he heard Emma gasp as she forcefully took back control of the light. She tried catching her breath and dropped the pistol, her hands curling up into a ball as she fought against Jason's attempt at taking over again. After a few minutes Emma felt Jason's presence disappear and she turned to face her brother, Elijah was frozen in place with fear which then turned into shock and disbelief.

"What the hell was that?" he yelled angrily as Emma sat up cross legged next to him

"I'm okay just so you know" Emma retorted unfazed by Elijah's outburst 

"I don't give a damn about that...you nearly shot me in the head" Elijah growled, Emma sighed before replying 

"Okay one, that was Jason, my crazy ass alter not me, secondly a little gratitude would be nice especially since I did just save your life back there" Emma shouted angrily

"Thank you for saving my life, but what exactly are you planning to do with me now?" Elijah replied sarcastically, Emma studied him.

"I'm still gonna arrest you Elijah, one thing I agree with Jason on is that you are too dangerous to be left alone...I won't have you endanger my family or anyone else ever again" Emma decided, grabbing her phone and calling the police.

Three hours later Elijah was officially arrested and sent to a secure and secretive location far away from Philadelphia, Emma refused to find out the location of his whereabouts since she didn't want to have any information to do with where he was being kept, just to be on the safe side.    

Emma was sat on the bed in her temporary apartment thinking about the recent events, she had definitely not expected Jason to come back out of the blue but then she wasn't surprised he had popped up again given the horrors she'd endured over the past six months.She just hoped it was just a one off and that it wouldn't happen again, however she was a bit pissed that out of all of her alters Jason had to be the one to reform again.

"You couldn't keep me shut away forever Emma, I am apart of you and like it or not we are inseparable" he smirked as Emma shook her head trying to look out any form of communication he could use to reach her. Emma couldn't help but wonder if the others would form again or if that was just wishful thinking.

"Hello...are you there, can you hear me?...no of course not, why would you be, you didn't come back when I needed you before why would you come back now...he's back and I could really use a hand or two to get rid of him again...I don't want him hurting anyone from my new family...please if you are there just say something" Emma cried as she tried reaching out for the others again.

There was a long silence before a soft gentle voice whispered 

"Hello again Emma, it's been too long" 

"Harper?" Emma whispered "Is it really you?"

"It's really me it's good to see you again" she replied "Now we have work to do"
