As Emma finally made it to Sarah's room, she opened the door and closed it. Her attention was drawn by a simple annoyed groan. She looked to see Sarah staring angrily at her broken pencil. Before to Emma's surprise, Sarah threw the pencil across the room, nearly hitting Emma in the process. Sarah caught sigh of her sister, and got up from their father's old desk.

''What's wrong?'' Emma simply asked. As Sarah wrapped her little arms around her, her eyes brimming with tears and staining Emma's jacket. ''I miss them,'' She sobbed. Emma now understood what this was about. She missed their parents. And it pained Emma to see her little sister in such a bad state.

''Sarah,'' She whispered. ''I miss them too. but the past is in the past. and we must face our future.'' Emma explained. Slowly Sarah's tears began to decrease as Emma wrapped her arms around her protectively.

While Emma was only 17, Sarah was 9. And Emma knew from experience that losing parents was difficult, especially after their real father died. As Emma held Sarah, Pops took this moment to open the door.

Emma saw him, she held her sister even tighter against her, as Pops approached. She was not going to let this 'thing' touch her sister. She knew what Kyle had always said about 'Them' the machines. She could always her his voice in her head.

'' It cant be bargained with. It cant be reasoned with, It doesn't feel pity nor remorse nor fear . And it will not stop ever until you are dead.''

Emma froze when she remembered what Kyle had said, before he was killed. She looked up and saw Pops was only seven inches away from Sarah, causing her to glare at him. She didn't trust this, this 'Thing'. She didn't like the idea, of her sister being protected by 'The killing machine'. She didn't like Sarah calling him 'Pops' when he really was supposed to be called an 'it'.

''Sarah,'' Pops chipped in, interrupting Emma's thoughts. ''It is time for you're training.'' Emma frowned when she saw Sarah's eyes shine brightly, and how quickly she was to leave her arms and follow the machine out the door.

Emma cursed. Before quickly making her way after her Sister and the machine. As she headed out the back door, she saw no sign of Pops nor Sarah. Immediately anger began to rise from her chest. That's when a scream, made Emma charge into the woods.

''Sarah!'' she yelled, hoping Pops hadn't hurt her. But as she pushed her way threw the tall bushes. She saw Sarah laughing at Pops for some reason. Quickly making her way from the bushes she glared at Pops.

''What happened?'' She demanded. Sarah stopped laughing for a moment, trying to catch her breath, as Pops stood emotionless as ever. ''Show her pops.' Sarah laughed. Emma frowned when she saw some kind of purple substance in Pops face. Deep down Emma wanted to join in her sister's laughter but Kyle's voice always stopped her.

''Very funny.'' Emma said sarcastically, rolling her eyes. Before Sarah suddenly grabbed her sister's arm. ''What?'' She asked. Sarah motioned to Pops to tell her something. Crossing her arms over her chest Emma watched as Pops sat down onto the bench he had made.

''Sarah would like for you to help reset my Cpu,'' Pops explained. ''I cannot learn the basics of Human life. or the basics of fitting in without it.'' Emma sighed. But nodded.

''Fine,'' she grumbled. ''Follow me.'' Pops stood, and followed, Sarah immediately following. As they made their way back into the hideout. Emma ordered for Pops to sit in front of the mirror so he could see what she was doing.

Soon enough Pops sat in the chair. ''So you can learn...to be more human?'' Emma asked. As she took of his leather jacket.

'' My CPU is a neural-net processor... a learning computer. But Skynet presets the switch to "read-only" when we are sent out alone.'' Emma frowned at him but kept doing what she was meant to , as Sarah watched. '' Doesn't want you thinking too much, huh?'' Emma growled. ''No,'' was Pops simple reply.

Soon enough Pops began to explain the basics of resetting his Cpu. Emma did as he instructed and cut into his head, and pulled open the cover protecting the Cpu.

'' Hold the CPU by its base tab. pull.'' Pops said. Emma immediately pulled it out, Pops once light eyes blackened as he was shut off. Emma studied the small chip, before walking over to one of the desks, and placing it upon the desk, as Sarah checked Pops out.

Quickly and without any emotion, Emma grabbed one of the hammers from the tool box and looked back at the Cpu.

''Can you see the pin switch?'' Sarah asked. Before her eyes widened in realization of what Emma was about to do, quickly running over she covered the cpu with her hand.

''No!'' she screamed, just as Emma brought the hammer down to finish Pops but stopped, to avoid hurting her sister . ''Out of the way,Sarah.'' She breathed. Sarah shook her head angrily, her hand still covering the Cpu.

''Don't kill him.'' She pleaded. Emma frowned, and shook her head. Her eyes filled with anger and betrayal.

''It, Sarah. Not him. It.'' she growled. Remembering that was what Sarah had said to John in the alternate timeline.

''Alright, it! We need it! Sarah replied. Emma shook her head, her hand holding the hammer tightly.

''I don't trust it! These things are hard to kill, Sarah, believe me, I know. We may never have this opportunity again. so move.'' She demanded.

''Look, Sis.'' Sarah growled. ''he's my friend. he saved me from the t-1000. he told me he would protect me. and here you are trying to kill him!'' She yelled. ''And if you wont see the humanity in him than nobody else will.'' With hesitance Sarah uncovered the chip.

Emma had taken in what Sarah said about 'It' Before she swung the hammer down. Causing Sarah to close her eyes. But the hammer missed the CPu and landed on the table creating a loud bang. Sarah opened her eyes, to see the Cpu not damaged. and looked at Emma with surprise.

''Fine,'' She said. ''Have it you're way.'' Emma dropped the hammer, and angrily made her way over to the wall, watching as Sarah inserted the chip back into the machines head.

Pops eyes blinked as he was given new a data. ''Was there a problem?'' He asked. And Emma could see Pops glance at her right as he said it. Sarah shook her head. ''No problem. None what's so ever.''
