A/N: Thank you for your adorable reviews. I am glad that you liked this story and favorited it. This story is still continuing as I am busy with one class and work. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I know that some of you are curious about Cora.
Chapter 5
The blonde agent still smiled at Regina's mother and waited for the chaos. Cora walked toward the sitting room near the window and gestured them to sit down. Emma nodded at her and gently sat down across from the oldest woman.
She was using her proper manners toward Cora and crossing her legs. Cora gave her a small smile and turned away to the window then spoke lightly.
"I know who you are."
"Oh dear, what do you mean by that?" Emma tried to avoid the question that she didn't want to reveal everything but went with her curiosity. The oldest woman chuckled and tilted her head while looking up at her.
"You are the infamous Agent Emma Swan that I had heard from everywhere."
The golden-haired woman slowly widened her eyes while hearing a statement from Regina's own mother and gulped. She couldn't say something after listening from Cora's mouth but still frozen like a fish in an ice.
"I heard some stories about you. You want to know why I knew you in first place?" Cora inquired and received a negative nod from Emma then continued to explain her knowledge.
"I am sure that you knew Agent Henry, 0005. He used to work as a special agent for CIA."
"Yes, I remembered him. And how did you know him?" Emma furrowed her eyebrows at the mention of his name and asked with her curiosity.
"He was my husband." Cora said while watching the blonde agent's facial expression altering.
"Henry Mills?! Your husband!? What the F-." She exclaimed. The oldest woman nodded while looking away from her to the window. It was beautiful outside while the leaves changes from green to orange, red or brown. The blonde agent was shocked when she received that her client knew her well and Agent Henry. She didn't have any word to say it back but just her slack-jawed face.
"Well, I knew he worked with you for several years. He showed the picture of you when you were fourteen at the summer camp. He said that you were his best student. I was enjoying his stories about you. That's why we agreed to be together and support what we had in our life. When he was away one day, I was raising my knowledge while Regina went on her first year of college at Storybrooke University. I couldn't help by coming to check on her every two weekends or when I came to her events that she was involved. After few weeks, I got a random text by someone and I tried to call my husband. He didn't answer my calls or anything. I decided to contact the director to search for him. So, I have no time to find my husband and I decided to continue on watching over my daughter."
"Well. I knew what happened to Henry. But I'm not sure if they already informed you when you received the urgent message from my director of CIA. Didn't you?"
"Of course, I got their message and I was upset. Regina didn't understand why he left us behind. I tried to explain everything to her but she won't understand because she was very younger."
"How old was she when her father died?"
"At the age of thirteen." Cora said sadly. The golden-haired woman nodded and waved her hand to continue on the oldest woman's story about her husband. But Emma knew it was not true that Henry died on his own and didn't say anything at all about him. She kept putting her face into a sad face that Cora bought it from her.
"He was a truly greatest man I had married. Oh, you should see him when it came to his little girl. He was very affectionate when Regina came to our world. I had been never forgotten that moment."
"I am sure that he would be proud of you and Regina when it came to his death. I'm sure that you have praised for your daughter's success, do you?" The blonde agent asked. Cora smiled with a nod until the knock on the door startled them. They didn't realize that they were chatting for few minutes and the oldest woman sent her an apology look with a reply.
"Before I open the door, could you do me a favor?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Please keep my girl safe and I know you are in a good hand since I knew my husband's secret life. If something happens to me, please take her out of here and escape somewhere they don't find her."
"U—h. I will." The golden-haired woman felt out of the blue when she was asked to do something for her in an odd way.
"Swear to the CIA." The oldest woman pledged her with a sad look.
"The secret must be passed after the generation." Emma continued. Cora nodded with a satisfied look then went to unlock the door and opened it. There was Regina, who was flustered and perplexed at same time. The blonde agent sent her a friendly smile after seeing the brunette woman standing outside by the door. The oldest woman chuckled and gestured her to come in then nodded at the blonde woman before retreating out in the room.
"What did Mom and you are talking about?"
"My intentions with you for our new friendship." Emma quickly retorted with a smile. Regina exclaimed with a big smile. The blonde agent decided to talk to her director when she decided to go home after dropping Regina off. She kept a mental note in her mind while listening to Regina's babbling mouth about her life as a college student with a political side and law.
The golden-haired woman was surprised that Regina was determined to be a mayor or lawyer included her dream of going to New York City. Emma was having a similar goal that she wanted to live in New York City because of her dream when she grew up hearing a beautiful city. She smiled at her thoughts while they were chatting in the sitting room. Cora came back to remind them that they had a dinner coming up but went to ask Emma if she could stay for dinner.
Emma nodded after being asked by the oldest woman. Regina was more excited to have her new friend to stay at her house and looked back at her mother with a reply. The blonde woman felt her heart clenching in her throat because she wished she had a mother like Regina had. She wondered how she felt like having a mother in her life since she was a foster child in her years.
She was stranded by St. Cecilia Parish on one night while crying on the stairs. It was a loud cry. No people wandering on the sidewalks to hear her cry but it happened when the knock was being heard. The nun was confused when she heard a sound outside and walked toward the door then opened. She looked around to find no one there but heard a loud cry on the ground by the stairs.
The nun gasped when she saw the beautiful baby and looked around the church. She wondered why they dumped a baby on her steps and decided to take her inside the church. In her mind, she would call the police to find her parents for missing their child. She looked down at a baby who stopped crying and spoke lightly.
"Don't worry, I will find your parents and you will be safe in God's arms, my little child."
The next day, the nun went to Boston Police Department and explained everything about the baby. The police were shocked and decided to use the DNA test on her then sent the squad to find her parents. The nun was her temporary guardian for few days and took her under her wing in the church.
After few weeks later, the baby's parents were nowhere to be found. The nun was planning to bring the baby to the child services but she had decided to adopt her for a short time. She knew her name, Emma because she brought a baby to the police station for a DNA test. The nun and several of the members in the church practically raised her out of the church.
Until, the nun buried herself on the ground and others couldn't keep Emma in the church then decided to take her away to the foster home when Emma was five years old. That's how she grew up in her childhood life until now, she saw Regina's mother who cared about her daughter.
Emma was drifting in her memory lane while she was with Regina all day until their dinner. She was quiet while Regina chatted about her classes. Cora asked several questions about her courses and approved what she had for her fall semester. The Mills decided to ask the blonde woman for a question until the golden-haired woman was called by Regina several times.
"Uh, I apologize for my silence. So, what are you saying?"
"I said, 'if I could ride in your car to school next week, would it suffice?'" Regina repeated her question while Cora was furrowing her brows and staring at Emma. The blonde agent hesitantly nodded with a reply.
"Sure, you can ride in my car. Are you planning to stay there in your new dorm room?"
"No. I am a day student. I prefer to sleep in my bed instead of that lumpy bed in the dorm room." The brunette woman chuckled. Emma nodded while looking up at the oldest woman's face then found herself smiling at her. Cora nodded and decided to leave herself to the office to work on her paperwork. Regina told her that she would clean up on the table then kissed on her mother's cheek then went to do her chores.
Emma was drifting for few minutes but decided to leave right away. She helped the brown-haired woman to clean up on the table and dry the dishes. The ladies chatted about their college days and the golden-haired woman looked up at the clock above the doorway toward the dining room then continued.
"I think I am going now. Thank you for inviting me in your house and dinner."
"Sure no problem. Don't forget to pick me up at 7:30am." Regina exclaimed with a smile. The blonde woman chuckled and asked.
"Do you have a car to drive around?"
"Not yet, I'm still on my permit license. I can't drive myself to the school because I'm still learning how to drive." The brunette sorority girl frowned at the question and explained with a sigh. Emma nodded and continued with a smile.
"Why not, in an exchange? I could teach you how to drive and you teach me how to cook like this dinner."
"Deal. I owe you that. I can tell my mom about it, you mind?" Regina slowly smiled and clapped excitedly with a reply. The golden-haired woman laughed at her excitement and waved her dismissal.
"No problem. I'm leaving right now before I get addicted to your voice." Emma blushed after realizing that she just said it in front of the brunette woman. Regina chuckled with a smirk and gestured her out to the front door then waved her hand. Emma walked back to her car and drove away.
Few minutes later, the golden-haired woman finally got home after closing the garage door. She checked on her boundaries around her place. Emma was relieved that she was not followed and immediately called her director after entering in her home office on the third floor.
She saw her remote and clicked right away. The screen made a sound and went on. Emma hung up on her cell phone and looked up at her television. It was the logo of CIA. The blonde agent went to check on her computer for her security lines around her property and overlooked on the campus on a daily basis.
The beeping sound alerted her that the director wanted to video-call on her. She turned around to see the banner alert then answered the call. It was the pixie cut woman in her office who was smiling at her. Emma was relieved that she called her when she had some information about her clients.
"I have some information that you will be surprised. I promise you." The golden-haired woman explained while Mary Margaret furrowed her brows. Emma chuckled and sat down on her leather chair.
"Oh? Tell me." The director went curiosity with a short response. The blonde agent nodded and cleared her throat then continued.
"Cora is not our suspect anymore. Even her daughter, Regina."
"Why is that?" David appeared in the screen behind his wife. Mary Margaret was surprised when receiving an odd information. Emma nodded.
"Not to mention that Regina didn't know her father's job. –"
"Who was her father?" They asked in unison. The golden-haired woman held her finger in the air and replied immediately.
"Agent 0005."
"Henry Mills." David said after widening his eyes. Mary Margaret was confused and looked at her husband then asked both of them.
"Who was he?"
"He was our top operation when Emma became the first agent in CIA. He was her mentor and even my friend. Emma, did Cora know that he is still alive?"
"No. She didn't know about his fake death since the case went into chaos five years ago. You and I only knew his location but no one knew even his family too."
"Shit." The blonde man mumbled under his breath. Emma chuckled and explained why she knew that she could trust Cora's story and they finally removed them as their suspects.
After the conversation with the director, the golden-haired woman saluted them with her farewell then investigated on the campus route for Professor Glass's office and wondered how she could put the cameras in his office and even in the hallways.
Few minutes, she decided to set up on her spy equipment since Dr. Hooper explained everything on the new materials. The blonde agent smiled when it came to her music equipment. She took the iPod and a stand then strolled to the window that viewed the campus of Storybrooke University. The golden-haired woman was aware that it has a 10 feet in the distance.
She looked over her computer and the office was in the front of the campus. Emma exhaled in the air and realized that she was lucky that she could hear from the building where Professor Sidney worked. She settled the iPod stand on the ledge of the window then scrolled in the screen of the iPod then found the voice activation with 24 hours. Lastly, she reminded herself that she planned to get a recording tape from her kit then connected to the iPod.
After she settled her spy gear on the ledge and checked on her wrist watch that she previously put a small recording/voice activation pin on Regina's backpack. The blonde agent walked back to the computer and activated on the brunette sorority girl then checked on her iPod for the activation. Now, she finally settled everything with a good night.
In few minutes later, Emma heard Regina's voice in the background and she was lucky that she fixed on the pin that it has a recording camera. The pin was viewing in the width of Regina's bedroom. The room was beautiful with the black theme. The blonde woman chuckled and remembered that the brunette woman has her favorite color, that was black. The bedding set was black with flowers. The bookcases were full with a lot of books. The windows were closed with the black curtains.
Regina stood between her bed and chair which it was beside the backpack. Emma recognized that the backpack was on the top of the desk until she realized that she was watching Regina in her tank top with a g-thong. Her blush got bigger and she swallowed a lump in her throat. The brunette woman was talking to someone on the phone and got a name. It was Kathryn Midas. The golden-haired woman tried to hear their conversation but got lucky that she can adjust the voice activation to get clear in the conversation.
Several minutes later, Emma was shocked that Regina was talking about her to her friend, Kathryn and went to listen on every word. She just chuckled when the brunette woman moaned and dreamily chatted about her body and voice. It kind of turned her on when it happened on the voice activation.
After an hour with Kathryn in the conversation, Regina finally shut the phone and put away on the desk then walked back to the bed. The brunette woman stripped her tank top and threw her g-thong then went to tuck herself in the bed. Emma went pale when she saw her gorgeous body in the view. She gulped and shut the screen off then decided to go back to her bedroom after locking the office on the third floor.
In her mind, she was still reeling on the scene where Regina got her pajamas off on the repeat. The golden-haired woman tried to shake her thoughts and went to tuck herself in the bed. She struggled to close her eyes but stayed awake. Regina was fucking gorgeous with her body but Emma finally distracted herself when it came to Cora's voice about Regina's safety. She suspected that Cora knew what's going in the campus.
"Cora, what secrets did you have with Storybrooke University?"
