So these are just random things that pop into my mind, and I needed to do something with them. They're parts of larger stories I'll probably never get around to writing, because currently the show is killing me. Much like that other one I've written for. :) So enjoy. All Swan Queen except for one, which like I said is part of a larger SQ that I had an idea for.

Also, I zombied up R&I, and I did it here briefly too :) I couldn't resist.

I don't own OUAT or it's characters.

"Mom! Have you been watching the news?"

Regina took a deep breath and glanced over at the TV. "Yes, we're leaving now."

It was quick. Two days ago, they were packing up Emma's apartment with no sense of danger. Now they were scrambling to leave. Th blonde came out of the bedroom, dropping two bags by the door. "They're saying people are getting sick."

Her son's voice came to her over a distorted line, and she found her attention solely on him. "We haven't seen any of it Henry. We're ok. We'll see you soon."

Emma came closer leaning against her to hear what their son was saying. Her hand rested lightly around the brunette's waist. "Mom...news...shutting down the highways."

Regina shot a worried glance at Emma as Henry faded out briefly. "I know Henry. We love you. We're coming home."

"I love..."

There was more distortion then silence and she pulled the phone from her ear, glaring at the display.

No signal.

"Let's go. We'll try again once we get moving." Emma moved toward the door, snagging the bags she'd thrown there. Regina looked at the television, not bothering to turn it off, as she hurried after the woman.

"Authorities are urging people to stay off the streets and avoid anyone who may be infected. Avoid hospitals and public transport..."

Regina shut the door on the increasing warnings.
