Chapter 1

Under Brooke was far more different than any of them had anticipated. Snow and charming were careful to stick together, the fear of leaving their son without his parents had them terrified. Emma stormed ahead as if leading a small army, Regina was tempted to grab her arm to slow her down but she knew the dangers of keeping an estranged woman from her love. Henry followed behind her making sure he would notice any change in his mother's stature, often looking over his shoulder to make sure Regina was following. Robin followed behind Regina like a lost puppy, Regina grew weary of his affections. Even though she went through so much to get him back, she wasn't sure that she believed all this soul mate talk. How could her love life be determined by pixie dust and a tattoo.

Although they were on a mission to save Hook, Regina couldn't care less about the one-handed wonder. Honestly, she thought Emma was too good for hook. But Emma was her best friend, Regina couldn't do to her what had been done to herself. Regina had lost track of how far they had walked, but somehow, they had made it to main street.

"Okay let's split up." Emma turned and moved off towards the dock. Snow and charming looked nervous and mentally decided to stay together would be their best bet, and strolled towards granny's. Henry nodded, glanced at Regina and started towards the town hall. Regina turned and moved to walk to the sheriff's station. The building looked more ominous in the red light the Underbrooke sky gave off. Regina swallowed before opening the door, trying to keep her heeled boots quiet in the corridor. Luckily once she entered the room she discovered she was alone and proceeded to snoop around the station, the cells were empty, interrogation rooms empty. She began riffling through the drawers she could find under desks and against walls.

"Regina?" She started when she heard her name being called, she turned, her hand still resting against her chest trying to quell her racing heart.

"David?" Even as Regina said his name she realised that this man being David was an impossibility. Where there was David, snow was sure to follow. That and she was sure David wouldn't have had time to make a wardrobe change since they had arrived in under Brooke.

"Regina, did you find anything?" 'This'll be fun' she decided, 'I know he's not David, but he doesn't know I know'. She looked back in the drawer and smirked as she lifted a pair of handcuffs out of the drawer,

"Just these." Not-David smirked as well and moved towards Regina as though she was his prey.

Regina inhaled and took a small step back. Not-David moved closer until there was less than a foot between them. He reached for the handcuffs still in her hand and lifted them between the two bodies, he smirked at her,

"Well these could come in very handy."

Regina started when he dropped the handcuffs onto the desk beside them, not-David wrapped one arm around her waist and pulled her closer, almost causing her to stumble over her own feet and place her hands on his chest to balance herself. She smirked knowing exactly what he was trying to pull.

"David! We can't do this. What about Snow? And Robin?" Not-David ignored her and crashed his lips to hers in a passionate embrace. She paused before reciprocating, trying to make it seem more realistic, but he was more talented than any person she'd kissed before. This embrace made her weak at the knees and make her lose her breath all at the same time. She melted into the kiss and her eyes fluttered shut. He moved his arms down beneath her thighs and lifted her on to the desk with ease. She moaned at his strength feeling the muscles move in his back.

They pulled apart when the need to breathe became too much.

"Nice to see again James." James smirked and pulled back until his hands rested on her waist.

"When did you realise?"

"The second I saw you." James lifted an eyebrow,

"Glad to see you haven't lost your touch, your Majesty." Regina smirked, she would admit that she missed the moniker. James turned to the desk and sat in the desk chair looking up at Regina the whole time.

"Who's Robin?" Regina cringed remembering the soul mate that had followed her to hell...literally.

"My boyfriend," she grimaced, "kind of."

"Kind of?" The eyebrow was up again. Regina didn't want to get into it and searched for something to change the topic of conversation, it was then she noticed the familiar bright red leather glove with a fur trim sitting on his desk. She leaned over and picked them up, choosing to lift a perfectly sculpted eyebrow in question.

"My girlfriend," he smirked, "kind of." Regina looked at James questioningly, "Cruella." James shrugged. Regina chuckled at his taste, but sobered up when she realised how Cruella had got to hell.

"Speaking of the puppy-murderer, has she mentioned anyone called Emma?" James frowned,

"Now that you mention it, isn't that the 'dim-witted blonde' that killed her." Regina grimaced and nodded. "Only a few hundred times. A day." Regina sighed, pulled out her phone,

"Ugh of course there's no service." She turned back to the man sitting before her, "How about you? Still hating on your bro?" James's face darkened,

"I used to, but when you spend as long as I have down here, you lose interest in petty fights. I used to want him dead. Now I just want to know why my parents chose him over me." James admitted in a rare moment of vulnerability, he looked away from Regina, trying to save himself more embarrassment. Regina, being a former Evil Queen, understood his need to seem dark and immune to feelings. She leaned forward from her spot on the desk and lifted his chin up, leaned even further towards him and pressed her lips gently to his own, lifting her hand to cup his cheek. His own hand lifted to her arm, keeping her hand where it was. They were lost in their own world until a voice sounded from the doorway, causing both parties to part and see the fur covered, two toned woman standing before them.

"James?!"
