They were in the interrogation room. Emma was furious at the Snow Queen. Her eyes burned as she spoke, defending her friends, her mother and father and everyone. She knew they accepted her, she knew that accepted her. In a sudden burst the side of the building exploded. Emma felt to power travel from her center lashing out through her torso, her palms everything. Her breathing hitched. What had just happened.
"What did you do to me?!" She asked panicking. Her palms were glowing, both white and gold and red. The Snow queen was smiling at her.
"I didn't do anything." Her face made Emma nervous. She was too happy, too excited. Where had all that power come from?
"Make. It. Stop." She felt furious, but she had never experienced power at that level, it felt dangerous- even to her. It was wild, hot and angry. It had exploded so suddenly-
"I can't." The smile was still in place, a wild look in her glassy eyes and Emma knew. She spoke the truth. What ever was fueling her magic- the Snow Queen couldn't stop it. Couldn't stop her magic, and wasn't about to freeze her to help. The handcuffs disappeared and she was gone in a swirl of snow.
Emma bit her lip. It wasn't a pain in her chest, but it felt like she was going to explode. She felt trapped in her own skin, what was going on. She stepped out onto the side walk through her newly made door. She needed help, she needed to calm down- to not be here. Footsteps sounded directly behind her.
"Looks like you don't ned my help getting in after all." Rumple. Se turned her head, her chest sinking. There was Snow White and Charing- her parents. And their kid. Her brother. The child they got to keep. There was Rumple and Bell, she looked concerned, Rumple looked, well resigned. Elsa was pulling up the rear. And then there was Hook. Hook with his wide concerned eyes looking straight at her. Him and her father ran up to meet her but she held her hands out, pointing her palms to the ground just in case.
"What did the Snow Queen do?" Charming asked looking at the building, Hook responding as he pulled up next to him, "She really did a number this time."
Emma couldn't lie. Throat dry, feeling a thousand times worse that she looked that moment she dryly sputtered, "It wasn't her. It was me."
A chill went through the group. "You?" Charming asked. She met his eyes, to his confused ones. It ws like they didn't believe, and that they were afraid. Just like the Snow Queen said. Just the way she didn't want to believe.
"Hang on," Hook said calmly, he was looking at her. She felt sick with herself. "You did this." Emma felt numb. They were all talking, all talking. The noise just grew louder. Hook and her father advanced to her, hands outstretched to take hers.
"NO!" she yelled and silence fell. She looked wildly around the group. Rumple had been silent the entire time, his face- she couldn't describe. Nor her mothers. The mother who was holing her child. Meer second had passed. "S-Stay away from me." Her eyes dropped to look at her palms, her voice lowering. "I can't control it." The realization stung. "I can't control it!" Her eyes burned again.
"Wait Emma-" Hook stepped froward, and she turned ready to run, but a hand gripped her shoulder too tight. Glass exploded, and the side of the building let out a thunderous noise as it split up the side and the sidewalk under there feet cracked, sparks raining down on them from the severed power lines- and in that second she looked at Hook- and saw his face.
His eyes were too wide, his face too pale. Her heart stopped. Her feared her. The street lamp cracked forward, and with a groan started to fall.
"no." was all she could whisper.
Her father lunged forward, pushing Hook into her, and she stumbled back, letting Hook tumble on his own. The building caught the lamp but not before it Clipped her fathers shoulder, bringing his to the ground, and he exclaimed in pain. He wasn't severely hurt, they were fine, the loud noise had stopped but-
"EMMA!" The shout came from her mother, furious. She met the eyes of her mother, who had given her away, Who never wanted her. Who now had a replacement child. Who feared her. Emma stifled her emotional inhale. Her eyes burned. She felt like her insides were bleeding, and power surged through her.
"Emma..." Snow White said again, but the damage was done.
"I need to go." She turned and ran.
"Wait Emma!"
"Come back!"
"Emma!"
"Calm down!"
She unlocked her car and found open the door. "EMMA!" It was Hook.
She slammed the door and floored it.

So this is what it was really like. So this is what the Snow Queen, and Elsa and now she faced. She looked out over the ridge to Storybrook, to the lights of the city. She didn't want to hear the lies they would tell her. That they weren't really afraid. She was their savior, always had been always would be. Her parents had sent her away so she could grow up and save them and save everyone. She wasn't there kid. Sure, genetically- but really.
Tere kid was her brother, a person she was 20 plus years older than, some spit dribbling human that didn't have a clue. The pregnancy Snow didn't have to worry all the way through. The child they could hold, cuddle, that they didn't depend on. Sure they were family genetically. She thought back to the Snow Queens words.
'Do you want to know what they are rely thankful for? That there child didn't turn out to be a freak like you.'
And Emma knew it was true. She had seen it when she used her powers in front of them, when Snow had refused to let her hold her child, when Snow had yelled at her...
She couldn't stop seeing their faces. Fear, anger- pain... She had hurt her own father. She could have killed Hook.
The Snow Queen was right. She didn't belong with them. You can't love someone you put on a pedestal, someone you feared. It was all true what she said.
Now she just needed to know what to do.
