Disclaimer: OUAT does not belong to me. If it did, Captain Swan would've been canon the moment they met.

I literally wrote part 1 when I was up at like 3am pulling an all nighter and half asleep. I'm surprised so many people liked it. Glad, but surprised. So thank you all for reading.

Here's part 2. As promised.

Part 3 should be up within the next few days.

Enjoy!

Chapter 2: The Tape

Emma was damn near burnt out. It had been an eventful week chasing after the Snow Queen.

After reluctantly working with Regina to track her down, they ended up having to save Elsa from the ice bitch herself. Emma's magic didn't work properly, so it fell to Regina to chase her off.

Elsa was, thankfully, okay, but Emma's confidence in her magic was once again shaken.

I don't know what your deal is, Regina had said. But find your pirate and fix it.

Emma wondered what the hell that was supposed to mean, but Regina had stormed off before she could ask.

As it was, Killian had been avoiding her.

He was never at Granny's, when she went looking for him (quite a feat considering that he was still staying there), because they had to talk about this. Yeah, she'd been angry and felt a bit betrayed, but Killian had made the deal for her, because he was insecure.

Guilt twisted her stomach.

She had been so focused on pushing him away and protecting her heart, worried about her own fears that she never thought about his.

As she organized her paperwork, she figured that it was time to go and confront Gold. She had to stop this before it got out of hand, and Killian became Gold's patsy for something or another.

Snow appeared in the station, Neal sleeping in his stroller, with a bag of lunch.

"Hey, mom." Emma greeted as she came out of the office. "This is a surprise."

"Yeah, well, I finally hired an assistant, so I took sometime to bring you guys lunch." Mary Margaret said.

"Who's your assistant?" David asked as he set the food out on one of the desks.

"Kathryn."

Both father and daughter looked at her surprised.

"My cursed ex-wife?"

Mary Margaret nodded. "She applied and we talked. We agreed that everything that happened under the curse wasn't really us. Besides, she's happier than ever with Frederick."

"That's good." David said.

Henry rushed into the bullpen.

"Hey kid, what are you doing here?" Emma asked.

"Can I borrow your VCR?" He asked, holding out a VHS tape.

"Um, sure." Emma's brow furrowed. "What is that anyway?"

Henry walked over to the security television and popped the tape in. "Well, I was at the pawnshop, and Killian was there..."

"Killian?" Emma started. If Killian was there, that could only mean that Gold was enlisting Killian in another scheme.

"Yeah." Henry nodded. "They didn't say anything, but this tape was on the counter, and Grandpa and Killian were acting weird about it. Then they left, so I figured..."

"That you'd steal the tape and watch it?" David asked.

Henry shrugged as the tape begun to play.

"Certainly is his father's son." Emma muttered, earning curious glances from her parents, but Emma was focused on the tape.

Killian had mentioned that Gold had a tape as evidence against Killian.

This could be the one.

The tape played out, showing an old man, that none of the Charmings recognized, and Killian. They watched as Killian attacked the man.

Mary Margaret gasped.

"What is Killian doing?" Henry asked.

Emma quickly ejected the tape. "It's not Killian."

"Emma, we just saw him on that tape." Mary Margaret said.

"It seemed pretty clear what he was doing too." David growled, furiously. "I can't believe this. I thought he had really changed."

"Emma, I know that he means a lot to you," Mary Margaret began. "But he committed a crime."

"Just, stop." Emma practically yelled. "Can I please explain before you guys get the mob and pitchforks?"

Her parents went quiet.

Emma sighed, looking at David. "The day after our date, when Killian was here, do you remember when we went into my office?"

"Yeah." David nodded.

"Killian told me that he found out Gold lied to Belle." Emma began. "The dagger that she has is a fake, and Killian used that knowledge to blackmail Gold into giving him his hand back. Gold manipulated Killian into working for him and used his magic to change this tape to...well, turn the tables."

"And Killian was telling the truth?" Mary Margaret asked.

"I know he was." Emma said. "He doesn't lie to me. He learned that lesson quick back in the Enchanted Forest."

Mary Margaret's lips twitched at the memory. "Well, you did threaten to feed him to the ogres."

"What?" Henry and David exclaimed.

"What, he lied." Emma shrugged. "It got the truth out of him eventually."

"So, if Grandpa is blackmailing Killian, what are we going to do about it?" Henry asked.

"Not "we", kid." Emma told him. "I'm going to deal with this."

"Are you sure?" David asked.

"Yeah." Emma reassured. "This is between me, Killian, and Gold." Emma walked out of the station.

No one messes with my pirate.

Well, there's part two. Hope you guys liked it.

Please review.

Part 3 will have the confrontation with Gold and CS goodness.
