Shortly after Emma opened the door, her ears twitched and she glanced over to see Sarah running at her. "Mom! Mom! Mom! Mom!" Emma raised an eyebrow at how energetic her daughter was. Sure she was always energetic but she seemed more so than usual. "You are in a good mood for someone who is about to get lectured. Why did you throw full grown men through a window of the coffee shop?" she asked as Sarah skidded to a halt in front of her. Sarah stood a few inches taller than Emma, who was naturally kind of short anyway. "Can that wait? I've got some exciting news!--"
"It really can't. The police told me if you got in trouble one more time then they will put it on your record. Meaning you aren't going to graduate from the DMA this year. I told you if some guy is being weird to you, you call him out on it in front of everyone or at least punch them once and walk away. There is no reason for you to be overly dramatic and cause that much of a scene."
"I already heard this talk from Chris!"
"And you are going to hear it again. You know quite well that behavior like that isn't accepted and no matter how many times I tell you, you still go around beating up someone. No. Not just someone. You beat up on regular people using your abilities. People that can't fight back like you can. I've paid a lot to get you into those training seminars at the DMA and you are even qualified to be a teacher to some of the younger members. You go on missions on a regular basis but that apparently doesn't stop you from acting like a kid and thrashing about,"
Sarah puffed her cheeks out and her ears pinned downward as Emma spoke to her. "How old are you?" Emma proceeded to ask and Sarah muttered something. "What?"
"Seventeen..."
"Yep. Are you acting like a seventeen year old? Someone who is close to graduating and is less than a year away from being an adult?"
"No..."
"Exactly. I know you like fighting. You are very strong. But you need to remember when it is necessary to use your powers and when it is not. So with that, no sparring for a week,"
Now normally that wouldn't sound like much of a punishment but for Sarah that sounded like the end of the world. "What?! Nooooo! I have a match coming up next week and I need to train otherwise that one kishin kid is going to beat me and my record will be ruined!" she whined. She clasped her hands together then "Please please please mom! Give me a chance! I need to practice still! I am so close to perfecting a new move but if I don't get in some practice all of my progress will be gone! Don't do this!" Sarah begged with a sort of puppy face. Emma shook her head "That face may have worked on your dad when you were little but that doesn't work on me. I don't want to be a bad guy but you need to learn these things before going out in the real world. I don't want you being some sort of rebel or whatever running around punching random people in the face and then ending up in jail on and off again... You are so much more than that. So I am sticking to my decision and if I get a call from the police again it will be three weeks, then a month , then three months, and so on." Sarah opened her mouth and her mom gave her a look then, almost like she was daring her daughter to object again. The gold haired cat girl made a face then and sighed "Oookaaaay... But I can at least punch a guy if he is being a pervert to me or my friends right?" she whimpered. "Only one good punch to the face. That is all you really need to get those types of people to back off anyway," Emma agreed with a small smile. Sarah managed to smile slightly as well and nodded though that didn't change the fact that she was bummed out from her punishment. She seemed to forget the reason she had ran up to her mom in the first place now.

Emma glanced over at Eric after she was done talking to Sarah "Sorry you had to hear that, I have had the whole spiel in my head all day," she said before her ears twitched. She glanced over and saw Chris step into the house then. She smiled at him before it faded as it looked like something was wrong. Emma was about to ask but her gaze went over to a very familiar face. "This is weird..." Em muttered as she stared down at the future her. "Yeah..." Emma agreed. Her gaze shifted then the the figure behind them. She stared at him for quite a while without blinking before Sarah perked up. "Oh! Right! Mom! Dad and... you are here from the past! He sparred with me and stuff as well as Chris and I won! Isn't that cool?" the girl asked with an excited expression.

Emma's expression was neutral as Herald spoke to her. When he asked where he was, Emma glanced over at Sarah "Why don't you go upstairs and wash up for supper alright?" she asked. Sarah paused for a moment before nodding though she knew the real reason why her mom wanted her out of the room. Em was also rather quiet. After talking to Chris, she had pieced some things together. Now she was just waiting for her future self to confirm them. After Sarah left the room, Emma looked over at Herald "You... aren't here anymore... You and your alternate self went to fight a very powerful kishin known as Atlas a while back when Chris and Sarah were still kids. It was supposed to be you two fighting but there was also going to be a back up group ready to fight if needed. You two went ahead of the group... and you almost defeated him... but you couldn't. By the time the backup team got there, the kishin had left... and you and The Reaver were dead," she explained with a neutral expression. Em listened quietly before glancing at the ground.

Em frowned and sighed quietly as Herald and Eric were at it again. She did have to side with what Eric said though and so did Emma who just watched quietly. The whole time she had a neutral expression on her face. When Herald asked about how strong Atlas was, Emma shook her head. "We don't know," she replied. Em's ears twitched and she looked at her future self "W-What do you mean 'We don't know'?" she asked hesitantly. Emma sighed and crossed her arms "We can't really get a read on him... We haven't seen the guy at full power yet so his true strength isn't known. Lady Death and the DWMA created an ability where certain people, myself and a few others, had their souls infused with a deceased ally... We had to do that just to be able to have some sort of chance against him. From how strong he was back when he fought Herald and Reaver to how he is now... that was a walk in the park. So it depends... he could be as strong as myself, he could be as strong as every person in Death city combined, he could be the strongest opponent we have ever witnessed... and I would like to hope that isn't the case," Emma looked at Herald "So we don't know."

"We haven't fought him since you kicked the bucket so you tell me," Emma told Herald, a frown finally appearing on her face as she looked at him. Her gaze shifted to Eric as he spoke. "There is, we have multiple and they all depend on his strength," she said. She sighed as Eric asked what happened to him next. "I really don't like this..." she complained. "You ended up being mortally wounded by one of Atlas' lieutenants... The current Eric Hunter ended up dealing the finishing blow on you upon request," she said, summing it up rather quickly. She wasn't trying to be angered by the fact that she had to be the bearer of bad news, she just already went through the painful experience once and talking about it just brought back familiar negative feelings.

Emma glanced over at Herald and smiled at him and nodded "It's our home. I couldn't part with it," she replied before looking at Eric "The current Eric is doing a great job... he is really loyal to Shira and works hard," she told him with a softer expression now. Her ears twitched slightly and she glanced towards the stairs. Emma was quiet for a moment or so before looking at the three guests. "I... will be right back. If you want you can go ahead and chose a room that you can stay in for your time here," she told them with a small nod before walking upstairs. "Sarah! It's your pick tonight. Also please show them around!" As if on queue, after Emma vanished upstairs, Sarah slid downwards on the stairway rail. "Yes!" she said with an excited expression, her attitude lightening the mood slightly in the room Herald, Eric, and Em were in. "Alright the realm is a bit mixed up now from how you guys remember it so I'll be your tour guide!"
Emma walked through the upstairs halls quietly before making it to Chris' room. She knocked on the door then "Can I come in?" she called.

Sarah continued grinning before she spun on her heel and began walking. "Okay! On this floor you can find a lot of the entertainment stuff and such. We have the library, dining area, movie room, and there is even this huge training area outside because mom was getting tired of us destroying half the yard outside whenever we would practice," she explained. Em followed Sarah quietly, her expression lightened slightly at how much was new to just the first floor. She glanced around and noticed quite a few pictures that were taken throughout the years, mostly of Sarah and Chris. Em stopped finally to view some of the pictures up on the walls. It was obvious that Emma did her best to give Chris and Sarah a happy childhood even though there was a piece missing. Em glanced at one that her future self was actually in with Chris and Sarah. Both looked pretty young still and Chris looked to be eleven at most. The three of them stood behind a rather huge sand castle. Sarah's ears twitched and she finally stopped talking long enough to see Em looking at the one photo. "Oh! That was a fun day! Mom took Chris and I to a beach when she found out we were doing so well in the DMA. I still have a bunch of shells from that time too! Anyway I guess they were doing a group sand castle contest and parents could help but they could only grab things on the beach while we built them. Mom ended up getting a ton of cool stuff but the best part was when she ended up freaking out because she was looking for stuff in the water and a long piece of seaweed got on her leg and she came sprinting out of the water freaking out because she thought it was some gross fish or something. Also we ended up winning! Only cause Chris was able to build some of the higher sand towers though," Sarah said, sounding pretty proud even though it was a moment quite a while ago. Em made a face as she heard about a possible future embarrassing moment "I've never been in an ocean before... so how would I know that wasn't a fish..." she said, almost as if she was speaking for her future self. "That didn't change the fact that it was hilarious!" Sarah stated with a giggle.
Emma walked in then, raising an eyebrow at Chris as he continued staring at the ceiling. "What's wrong?" she asked finally as she walked over and sat on the bed near him.
