Jess hadn't wanted to do this.
She liked Severus thinking she was dead.
How would he take this.
Avada Kedabra, that's how.
Jess sighed and knocked on the door.

Snape had been feeling ill all morning.
Both physically and mentally.
Lea and Magda had given him a wide berth.
But as Lea was upstairs playing, and Magda was sleeping, it was up to him to answer the door.
Grabbing cane he headed toward it, feeling sicker and sicker as he got nearer.
And when he opened it, he understood why.

Jess held up her hands "Before you curse me to high heaven, read my mind."

His cane had all ready transformed back in to his wand and he held it at her throat, as he plunged in to the mind of a woman that looked to be his dead sister.
His sister who'd split her personalities in to two, one of which wanted him dead.
One of which had cursed his leg so that it could not heal.
Her mind was an open book to him, because she let it be, he saw memories of the night on top of the tower of London, memories of Bruce Wayne, memories of living homeless in London, memories of his old maid helping her back on to her feet, memories of a new man named Tony Stark.
He blinked.

It hurt, having all of those memories dredged up.
But it was necessary for both of them, so he wouldn't curse her and she could explain.

Severus stumbled back "Why did you stay hidden so long?"

"I figured you'd be happier thinking I was dead" she looked him in the eyes "who would want to think that their sister, who tried to kill them, was still alive? Personally if Jenn or you tried to kill me, I'd very much want you dead."

"To the contrary, I wished you alive" his wand returned to it's cane state and he stood up, feeling older than his 38ish years "I wanted a better explanation than good guesses."

"I'm certain that your guesses are spot on Severus, don't give me that" she smiled softly.

"From what I saw, I was" his smile was weak, he opened his arms slowly, inviting his sister in to a hug he never thought he'd give.

Jess fell in to his arms and hugged tightly "I'm so sorry Severus, with everything you've been through, I shouldn't have been another damn problem."

He stumbled a bit and adjusted his leg "In the end it came out all right" he laid his head on top of her's.

Jess looked down at his leg and frowned "What happened?"

He put his arm around her and ushered her in, closing the door behind her "The beast your alter brought forth was made of something magic can't heal, therefore I've been walking about with a bum leg for two years."

"Oh Christ" she looked disgusted for a moment "I'm so sorry."
