Hello everybody.
So I have decided to make a new story. This idea has been on my mind for weeks now, and I kept telling myself to wait with writing it, till I was at least done with 'Merry Christmas', but I just can't get it out of my head, and I had to write it!
So as you can see in the summary, this story sets after season 5. (I believe season 5 ends when they return to Storybrooke). And as I write as well, Emma and Hook now shares Emma's heart and they are all back in Storybrooke living their life.
I know many of you think, this is going to be all Emma, Hook and the spy, but it's not. It's Regina is a lot more in the story than you think, when you figure out who the spy is, which you will already be told in this first chapter.
Anyway, I hope you like this story. Please review and tell me what you guys think.
Cora sat in her office in town hall. She and Henry had just said goodbye to their daughter and the rest of them. She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice her husband walking in. Henry Sr. sat in the chair in front of his wife and waited patiently for her to notice him. To his surprise, it only took her aora shook her head as she finally noticed her husband was sitting in front of her.
"Henry dear"
Henry smiled and nodded.
"Hello my darling. I am in need to discuss somethings with you"
"Of course dear. Anything", Cora said and stretched out her hand on her desk, for her husband to take. Henry took it with gratitude and smiled at her.
"Don't you think we should tell him? About Regina?"
Cora looked away lost in thought. She didn't know what to say. She knew her son deserved to know about his older sister. Or sisters.
"I know you're trying to be a good father Henry, but you know as well as I do, that if he ever found out that he have siblings, he will go to the living world and find them. And you know he can't do that", Cora said caressing her husbands hand with her thump. Henry smiled at the touch, but sadly at the answer.
"I know my love. I just wish he could know something... He isn't a child anymore. He deserves to know"
Cora saw the plead in her husbands eyes and sighed. She knew her son was old enough, but she couldn't risk him taking the trip to that world.
"Henry... It's to dangerous for him to go"
Henry sighed and knew he was defeated. He squeezed his wife's hand gently before letting go.
"I will go make us something to—", Henry stopped mid sentence as he was interrupted by a knock, both parents knowing who it was.
"Come in", Cora said and stood from her seat. The door opened and a revealed a 6-feet tall boy with a light chocolate skin, brown eyes and short black hair. Cora and Henry smiled at their son and said son smiled back.
"Mother, father", the son said and hugged both his parents and placed a gentle kiss on his mothers cheek.
"Rex my dear. What are you doing here?"
Rex chuckled and walked to the desks drawers taking out a piece of candy, he knew his mother had for good times.
"I wanted to talk to you. Both of you actually"
The parents shared a look and Cora held out her hand towards the couch, indicating for the family to sit. Rex nodded and walked to the comfortable chair while his parents sat on the couch.
"What is it darling?", Cora asked as they were all comfortable seated.
"The group that was here yesterday. They aren't from here are they?"
Cora stiffened and Henry could immediately feel it. Knowing his wife would say anything, he jumped in rescue.
"No they aren't. They are from the living world"
"So they are people who's still alive?", Rex asked, and received a nod from both of his parents.
"Why were they here?"
This time it was Cora who spoke.
"They were here to fulfill a mission"
"Mission?", Rex asked confused. Cora sighed and turned to her husband who turned to her as well. They both shared the same thought and knew what to do.
"They. They were here to bring Killian Jones back"
"Killian is dead?"
Cora sighed and took a deep breath before continuing.
"Yes. And some people from the living world, didn't think it was fair to him, to die the way he did. So they wanted to bring him back"
Rex now stared at his mother in nothing but confusion.
"Bring him back? They do realize that dead is dead, right?"
Cora smiled at her sons cleverness. He was such a quick learner compared to her youngest daughter.
"They do. But you well know that it is possible to bring people back from the dead if—"
"If somebody else takes their place", Rex finished even though he knew how his mother hated being interrupted.
"I'm sorry mother"
Cora smiled and nodded letting it slide. Rex smiled back and sighed in relief. He hated when his mother were on her bad side.
"Did they succeed?", Rex asked curiousness still getting the best of him.
"They did", Henry said and smiled at his son. Rex smiled and nodded.
"Well that's rather sweet isn't it? Actually saving the people you love from death"
"I guess it is dear", Henry said and smiled.
"One of them kind of looked like you, mother. A brunette. She was really beautiful, just like you. She had your cheekbones", Rex said looking at his parents. He noticed how they stiffened and eyes them suspiciously.
"What?"
The husband and wife shared a look and Henry nodded to his wife giving her his permission to tell him. Cora nodded back and turned to her son as she cleared her throat.
"Rex your father and I have somethings to tell you and it's very important that you understand why we waited so long to tell you"
"She's my sister isn't she?", Rex immediately said and eyed his parent until they didn't say anything and he sighed knowing. Cora and Henry waited for the long cliche speech to come up about how they could keep it a secret for so long, but it never came.
"What's she like? She seemed very nervous when I saw her, but how is she like? Was she a good daughter?"
Henry could feel his wife stiffened once more and sighed taking her hand into his own. He knew how ashamed Cora was of how she treated Regina and himself in their past. He knew she wasn't proud of it.
"Alright"
By the time Henry had explained with Regina was, Rex was speechless to say at least, but before he could say anything, Cora's phone rang and she quietly stood and walked to her desk picking up the phone.
"Cora Mills"
Henry and Rex watched the woman as she spoke into her phone.
"Why do you need to see my son?", Cora asked getting angry. And got even more angry when she heard the response.
"He's not—"
"What time do you wish to see him?"
"I'll see you then", she said and hung up. She looked over at her two boys and sighed.
"Hades wants to see us. All of us"
Henry showed a face in horror and immediately turned to his son who sat with worry in his eyes.
The three of them walked towards Hades house but was stopped by a couple of guards.
"Your names", one if the guards asked and waited for an answer. Cora immediately stepped forward.
"Cora Mills. Hades has called be for a meeting"
The guards instantly walked to their sides, allowing the family to walk by. The doors to the God's chamber open as they reach the end of the hall and they see Hades stand and looking at a mirror.
A magic mirror, Cora thinks as she sees the mirror and she turns to her son who surprisingly doesn't seem scared or frightened at all.
Like mother like son
Cora smiles proudly at her son and turns once more to the God in front of them.
"Ah! The Mills family! Glad you could join me!", Hades says and turns around seeing the family. He holds out his hand towards three chairs beside the family, silently asking for them to take a seat. Both Cora and Henry nods in gratitude while Rex just eyes the God with deadly eyes.
If looks could kill, the God thought as he obviously saw the glare he received from his project of a boy.
"We are very thankful for your to invite us, Hades. So how can we help?"
"Your daughter and the rest of her of her group recently just broke the laws in living and death. And I need your son to help me replacing the damage it has costed me"
Cora and Henry shared a look and Henry nodded towards her.
"What does 'helping' indicating?"
Hades smiled at the question. He loved to tell his plans to his people.
"I need your son to travel to the living world and bring back Killian Jones"
"Absolutely not!", Cora said as she stood up from her chair protectively.
"Mother..."
Hades smiled evilly at the woman's outburst.
"Let me refer it to you. Your son does as I say or your daughter will suffer far worse consequences than you can possibly imagine"
That made Cora sit down again and she turned to Henry with pleading eyes. Henry saw the plead and turned to the God.
"Why do you need Rex to do this? He's not even 18 yet"
Hades turned to the man and smirked at him.
"Your daughter broke the law. Now your son are fixing it", he said and stood from his chair. He walked around and towards the door.
"Cora, Henry you may leave. I need to discuss a more private matter with your son"
Rex walked into the white mansion, he has called home the last almost 18 years. He could immediately smell the good amount of food and he walked inside the kitchen seeing his mother standing and making food.
"Hello Mother", Rex said and walked over and placed a soft kiss on her temple, before helping with the dinner.
"Hello dear. What did Hades say to you? It's been hours, since we the office"
Right to the point
"Let's discuss it over dinner, shall we?"
Cora nodded despite her worry.
"Alright, dinner is ready in 20 minutes. Please drive to the stables to get your father"
"Of course mother"
Rex drove to the stables and did indeed saw his father standing at his favorite horse.
"Father"
Henry turned and see his son walking towards him.
"Rex, my boy"
Rex smiled at his father and turned to the horse caressed it gently.
"Rex, my son. I need you to understand that no matter what you choose, your mother and I will always love you and we will support your decision"
Rex smiled sadly and looked down.
"Have they contacted you?", Henry asked his son, changing the subject completely. Rex turned to his father and shrugged.
"A couple of times. But I don't want anything to do with them. I don't need four parents. I need two, and I already have those"
Henry smiled proudly at his son and took him by the shoulder.
"Rex, it's important that you know, that it's okay if you want any sort of contact to them. They are your birthparents. They are the reason you are here. They are the reason your mother and I have gotten this privilege of having you in our lives"
Rex smiled and looked down, his face red in astonishment.
"Thank you father. But I will not be needing their company any time soon. You and mother are enough... And... Hopefully, Regina very soon"
Henry smiled and hugged his tall son.
"I am sure you will love her"
"I already do father. I already do"
Cora, Henry and Rex stood in front of Hades house and was currently saying goodbye, since the parents couldn't come in.
"Alright. Take care of yourself dear. And say hello to Regina from you, alright?"
"Of course mother. I will"
"You need to go now", one of the guards said and Rex hugged his parent one last time before being followed inside by the guards.
When he was inside he was met by Hades standing in front of his magic mirror.
"Mr. Mills. How nice of you to come by"
Like I had a choice
"Of course Hades"
Hades turned around and stepped towards the 17 year old.
"So... How are you feeling?"
Rex eyed the man suspiciously.
"I am fine, thank you"
"Good. But... Rex, was it?"
He received a nod.
"Right. Rex. Do you remember what I told you yesterday?"
"I can't tell people my true identity. That I'm from the underworld nor that I'm Regina's brother"
Hades saw the obvious hatred to the plan.
"You seem against my idea little Mills?"
Rex shrugged at it.
"Yeah, I—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was waved unconscious by the God and said God stood and smiled evilly at his work.
"Don't worry my dear Mills. You don't have to worry about your dearest sister. Because you won't remember her at all"
When Rex woke up he felt the biggest headache he ever experienced. He groaned as he could open his eyes properly and saw all the threes around him. But he knew the forest all to well, to know that he wasn't on the forests grounds. But rather on something hard. Like a road. He stood from the spot and looked around. He was at hire way. He stopped his search when he saw a green sign saying 'Welcome to Storybrooke'
