this story takes place when Gold is in the hospital and he just "blinked" to let Zelena know that he agrees to her deal.

Zelena chuckled to herself as she took out handcuffs and tied Gold to the hospital bed, hands and feet.

"What," she murmured, "did you think I would let you drink the potion and just leave?" she teased.

He struggled weakly, but couldn't fight her as she fastened the cuffs securely before removing the pipes from his mouth and letting him sip the potion. The second he swallowed the potion she quickly stuffed a gag in his mouth and said, "I will take the gag out if you promise not to yell for help. If you do decide to scream," she warned showing him a full needle, "I will sedate you and do whatever I like to you - for old time's sake," she cackled.

He nodded, making his angriest face to mask the terror he was feeling. when she took the gag out he asked, "what do you want -now-?"

"I just want to talk to you. you see, I have to make sure you understand the terms of our deal," she replied pouting.

"I agreed to it," he breathed.

"How can I be sure you will not tell Robin or Regina anything?"

"You can't," he said, "you just have to trust me."

"I trust you will find a loophole," Zelena cooed, "once you are out of this bed, I can't control you anymore. So I will warn you now: if Robin or Regina or anyone ever finds out anything, I will kill Roland. In fact, if anything doesn't go according to my plan Roland dies."

"And what makes you think I care about Roland," Gold snarled.

Zelena chortled under her breath, "oh, Rumple, don't you remember the loophole you found? While I had the dagger! Remember how I commanded you to kill the boy after you get Regina's heart? You found a loophole in the form of a protection spell around Roland? I am sure you remember," she cooed, "I know exactly how much that loophole cost you."

"I won't tell anyone, OK? I never break deals, you can trust me," he said angrily, "can I please go now?"

Zelena took out some keys and opened each cuff teasingly slow as she gloated at his increasingly annoyed expression.

A few minutes later, Gold was out of the hospital when he saw Robin holding an enormous box.
