EMILY WAS CURRENTLY sitting at random diner. Getting her thoughts together. These past moments have been a lot to process. She was kind of nervous to meet her sisters again. Is been so long. What if they don't want to see her? Do they hate her?

She broke out of her thoughts took out a burner phone and punch the numbers in. She hope they would answer.

"Hello?"

Emily eyes brighten at the sound of the voice, "Garcia."

Miss Penelope Garcia could not believe it, "Emily! I'm so mad at you for running off on your own. But I am happy to hear for you."

Emily chuckled at Garcia, she really missed her, "Garcia you are rambling."

"Yea, sorry."

"Garcia, I'm not coming back and before you go all crazy on me, is just temporary. I need to do something before I go back. I'm asking you to not say anything and I know is hard for you to keep a secret but promise me. You won't say anything."

Garcia was silent, Emily took deep breath, "Garcia...promise me."

Garcia gave in, "Okay, I promise but you got to contact me so I know you are okay."

Emily got up from the diner and made her way, "I don't think I can do that. But I will try to give you a random check up. I have to go now PG but I miss you okay and I miss the team. I will be back before you know it."

With that Emily hung up, got rid of the phone and made her way to Budapest. But all the way back in D.C Garcia was left with her thoughts. She hope Emily will be okay, "I miss you too."

Confused. That is what Yelena felt. She was finally free but had nothing to go back to. Maybe she can go to her sister's old safe house in Budapest. But how can she move on, while the other widows are suffering? I mean she did mail the vials to Natasha, because of her fancy friends but what if something goes wrong. What if they will never be free. Gosh she wished she wasn't alone.

Natasha was the first to leave out of the three of them, but then Emily left. But to Emily, it was the other way around. She left both of them but it was not that way. Natasha left both of them in 2006 at age of 23, while in 2008 Emily left at 27 and Yelena left barely now in 2016, at 28. Emily and her missed out on their young adult life but at least Emily was free and went to see the amazing advancement of the future while she was still figuring things out. They both found themselves a family while she was here all alone. Complicated family history.

"Ian Doyle is still missing. The Bureau has no new leads on catching him. But I assure you that the BAU team is doing anything in their power to catch him as he hurt one of their members, agent Emily Prentiss....."

Yelena froze. Emily got hurt? Was she dead? Yelena was going to kill him. Simple as that. She knew some stuff about him through the red room for some business shipments. Also that he was here in Morocco. It would risk her getting caught but no one hurts her sisters and gets away with it.

I mean they have not seen each other in over twenty years but if anyone was going to hurt Emily it would be her not some random pathetic guy. Plus if she dies, she would be going down looking like a badass. Yelena chuckled softly at her thought, it was a cool way to die.

Yelena found out he was hiding out at some warehouse. He had men all over the place, but to Yelena this would be fun. She slowly made her way in and knocked out a guard with the gun and dragged him out. She kept walking slowly with her gun pointed ahead of her. Two guards came in and she shot them. Running to a hallway where many came running to her, she threw widow bites that knocked them all out.

She was caught off guard when one of the men hit her back in the head. Then six guards came in and watched one of their men hit Yelena, they were too astonished to move. The small-seeming cowman kicked Yelena so hard in the face that it seemed that Yelena's jaw broke.

But Yelena was able to punch him to his teeth. Then the man stood over Yelena, who spat out blood. Yelena struggled to her feet, the man immediately knocked her down. But Yelena used this to her advantage as she slid under him between his legs, using her arms to get to his shoulder pushing her up and him down, then she used her gun to knock him down.

Yelena turned around and saw the other six men staring at her. She smirked slightly as they backed away from her. She just walked past leaving a widow bite behind that knocked them all out. She walked towards the door where she assumed he was in, opening the door and it turns out she was right. Two guards protecting Ian came towards them and she just shot them.

"Impressive. But this to me seems personal and frankly I have no clue who you are."

Ian Doyle wasn't sure what to feel, who was this woman and what did she want?

"You don't know me but you know Emily."

Yelena looked at him disgustingly. Ian just started to laugh. Ah turns out Emily had more people that care about her.

"What is funny huh, you hurt my sister and now you are going to pay for it." This was more than just revenge. Yelena was mad at the world. Dreyko took everything from. Her chance to become her own person. She doesn't even know who she is or what part of her is real.

"So you are going to avenge her by killing me, how does that help you? Getting rid of me does not get rid of the fact that people are out there watching your sister and her team. So again how does it help you?" 

Ian was just hoping to rile her up so he can make a run for it. But he was right. Killing him doesn't change anything. But she was just so angry and tired. He just threatened her sister and her team in front of her face. He wasn't going to get away with that.

She just felt there was no point in trying to do anything good because it won't change the things she did. But she didn't care, it wasn't her choice to do those things, but he hurts people because he wants to. Yelena knew it wasn't up to her how justice should be handled but she didn't care.

"You are just going to get yourself killed if you keep going the way you are. Anger cannot stay within. You must let it out. If not it becomes poison and it will kill you from within."

But it didn't matter to Yelena. The damage was already done. She was already dead because the person she is now is not that small six year old little girl who loves getting competitive in games. That girl was dead. Yelena shot him, as some of his blood splatters across her face.

"I did die, a long time ago."
