Chapter 2: Starting to feel like home – Part I
It seems trying to walk the Evil Queen to the asylum was completely useless and Emma was completely tired of arguing with this woman.
"You know what would be great? You to stop struggling." Emma frowned at the Evil Queen as she kept a tight grip on the brunette's arm.
The Evil Queen winced already tired of the tight grip on her arm, she was pretty sure there would be a nasty bruise, but she's also the one to blame because she just keeps fighting against it.
"Ugh, where's Regina? We will never get there at this pace." Emma huffed out as she eyed her parents.
Snow and Charming kept a safe distance from the Evil Queen and David made sure to always have a hold on Snow in case anything happened he'd be quicker to protect her. "She didn't want to bring Henry along, I am sure she's almost done." Snow replayed as they all basically were in some kind of alley while waiting for Regina to get out of her mansion and just poof them to the asylum.
"Henry? That boy has issues." The Evil Queen commented.
"Hey! Watch it." Emma groaned. "You are talking about our kid."
"Our?" The Evil Queen quickly rose her eyebrows, not so amused.
"Yeah, Henry's your kid and mine. Maybe not yours yet, but he will be one day."
The Evil Queen was even more confused by that. "Impossible. I cannot carry children." She admitted only because she was tired of people assuming she had a child or was going to have one.
"What?" Emma stared at her confused before shake her head. "You weren't pregnant, I was."
Now the Evil Queen was even less amused. "Another impossible chance. I'd never let somebody like you carry my features."
"What?!" Emma was now more confused.
"I think she means genes." Snow almost tried to not stutter.
"I know that! I am just wondering why she thinks she got me pregnant?!" Emma now stared at Snow like she couldn't believe what was happening.
"Pardon me, dear, but you did say he was our child."
"Yes because you adopted him! You didn't get me pregnant, that's not even possible!"
"Adopted?" The Evil Queen frowned at the strange word but shrugged it off. "It's not impossible a woman impregnate another, but it is impossible I'd pick you for that." She stated coldly.
"I don't even know if I should be flattered or offended." Emma frowned at her, but now the words hit her. "Wait, so you are saying two women can have a child? Same genes and stuff?"
"Genes?" She was really tired of this unknown words. "If you mean a child can share blood of two women, then yes. Powerful magic is enough for that."
"But I thought magic couldn't do anything about life and death." Emma was completely forgetting the fact she was talking with the Evil Queen, while Snow and David stared at them like they were insane, well at least Snow looked like she wanted to throw up, because she always heard tales back at the Enchanted Forest, two women couldn't indeed share a child; but she wasn't feeling nauseous because of that, she was only feeling sick by the thought of her daughter and the evil queen indeed sharing a child.
"Dear, every powerful magic can do anything, of course the price is higher to pay." She explained, actually stopping with her rage and take her time to explain the blonde how the magic worked.
"This is crazy." Emma admitted, but before she could ask any further question related to that subject, Regina showed up.
"Shall we go?" She asked while placing her palms on her hips; forcing Henry to stay at the mansion wasn't easy, the teen boy said he was capable of helping and he wanted to help, he wasn't going to stay behind and let his family take care of another issue, he wanted to be part of it, and he was already thinking about names for a suppose operation but Regina quickly shut down any further thought his young mind could have about this subject and demanded for him to stay at home; but knowing her boy pretty well, she knew he'd escape any moment he had a chance to, so she made sure to put a protection spell around the mansion, nobody could get in or out.
Now that she was here, she noticed every one had a different expression on her face, but the one that looked more troubled was Snow. "What did you guys talk about?" Regina asked, pretty sure the Evil Queen said something that upset Snow White, or she was simple bothered by her old self's presence.
The Evil Queen opened her mouth to explain but Emma quickly tugged on the brunette's arm she was still grabbing. "Nothing important, can you just poof us to the asylum? Cause she struggles too much and I am pretty sure its gonna be very troublesome once the whole town sees her."
"Yes, I will teleport us all."Regina corrected Emma with a slight frown as she made everybody touch each other and in a blink of an eye everybody was at the asylum hallways in front of Zelena's old cell. - Regina with a flick of her wrist, snapped the door open and allowed Emma to take the Evil Queen inside.
"I refuse to stay in a dirty dungeon!" The Evil Queen gasped as she tried to not let Emma take her in.
Emma clenched her jaw and wrapped her arm against the brunette's slim waist, while grabbing her still by the arm and finally being able to put her in the cell. "It's not dirty, you majesty." Emma rolled her eyes.
"This is no fit for a queen." She complained.
"It's clean, there's a bed, and I am sure there will be no rats, it's enough." Regina finally decided to interfere.
"Outrageous." The Evil queen mumbled.
"There she is!" Another different voice broke in the argument, and it belonged to Grumpy, but he wasn't alone, he had bunch of people behind him, and it definitely looked like an angry mob by the all weapons they had in their hands.
Everybody turned to see what was the fuss about and when the Evil Queen noticed the angry mob, she just smiled wickedly. "Ah, finally starting to feel like home.."
"Hey, wow, wow!" Emma quickly let go off the Evil Queen but only to stand in front of her, as she used herself as a human shield. "What are you all doing here!?"
"We know you are arresting the Evil Queen, sheriff! But we believe it's our time to take care of this!" Some upset voice from the mob spoke.
"How did you guys found out?!" Emma asked with frown, wondering how the hell the news travelled so fast through this damn town.
"I saw her at the wood with Henry." Happy answered. "And I well..I had to tell it to somebody.." He gave a sheepish smile.
Emma groaned and rolled her eyes. "Of course."
"I must ask you people to leave, we have this under our control." Regina stated.
"We are not letting this evil witch escape!" Grumpy quickly spoke. "She brought us too much harm, its time for our revenge!"
"Leroy!" Snow gasped.
"I am sorry, sister, but its true. You can't expect us to forget everything she did to us."
"But revenge is not the answer." Snow told him in her motherly voice.
"Oh delightful, Snow White against her munchkin." The Evil Queen let out a sarcastic chuckle.
"I am a dwarf!" Grumpy shouted at her as he pointed his pickaxe at her.
"That's not any better." She rose her eyebrows, not so amused.
"Regina.." Emma groaned lowly as she looked at the Evil Queen over her shoulder, basically warning her to stop with the sassy comments.
"Pardon me dear, but a little more respect wouldn't harm you. It's your majesty." She rose her chin proudly with a smirk, but only now she was starting to feel something awful familiar with this blonde but she just couldn't put it together, but it'd come to her.
Emma fought the urge to not roll her eyes again.
"Let's kill her!" Another voice from the angry mob spoke and everybody else cheered.
"Hey hey, no! Nobody's going to lay a single finger on her, got it!?" Emma almost barked and it made everybody flinch, it seems being the Dark One made her act more stronger against everybody else and have more respect from the others; something at the beginning she completely hated because everybody acted like they still feared her and didn't trust her any more, but in moments like this all she wants right now is to these people respect her and keep away.
"I don't need a peasant to protect me." The Evil Queen mumbled only enough for Emma to hear it, but the blonde completely ignored; but even if she said she didn't need anybody to protect her, she still remained quietly behind Emma and only watching everything unfold over the blonde's shoulder.
"You all need to leave." Regina warned again; having the Evil Queen here was already pissing her off, she didn't need an angry mob to bother her more.
"This isn't about you, Regina. This is about her." Grumpy said.
"But you fools! She's the past Regina, so if you harm her, our current Regina will be harmed as well." Emma clenched her jaw completely hating that idea.
"Oh.." Now Grumpy looked down at his pickaxe, wondering if it was worth t, Regina did prove herself to be completely different, she helped Sneezy and many others.
"Maybe she's from another parallel universe!" The same annoying angry voice spoke again.
"Yeah!" Now everybody else cheered again.
"Okay, I am tired of this, who is the bastard that keeps speaking!?" Emma shouted as she looked through the mob, and nobody dared to move from their spot or admit who said it, so Emma just rolled her eyes. "Guys please, we have got this under control. We will make sure we get rid of the Queen as soon as possible, okay?"
"Evil Queen." Both Gumpy and Regina corrected her and they kind of stared at each other slightly surprised.
Regina only corrected because she didn't want people to think this was her, this was her past, she wasn't this person any more and she didn't want to have any connections with her past. While Grumpy simple corrected her because for him it was offending the all other Queens who weren't evil.
"Whatever." Emma quickly dismissed it. "Now will you all please just leave and carry on with your day? She won't go anywhere, so I can assure you, she will be no harm to you guys."
"Try me." The Evil Queen smirked.
"Shut up." Emma mumbled as she moved her left hand behind her and pinched the Evil Queen's side, well at least she tried, the dress wasn't thin enough for that, so she just gave a strong squeeze, making the Evil Queen growl lowly.
"We shall leave now, but if anything happens we will be back." Grumpy announced with a frown as he eyed the Evil Queen one last time.
"Alright, go." Regina said as she moved her hand like she was swatting them away.
And just like that the angry mob left and Emma sighed relieved. "Crazy town." She mumbled under her breath.
"This time Snow White managed to keep a secret." The Evil Queen mocked.
And Regina felt a strange twist in her chest, that she always felt every time she thought about Daniel.
While Snow was completely loss at words, not sure if she should even say anything, she could upset the Evil Queen and also Regina, and she didn't want that, so she closed her mouth again and looked down.
"Oh now you are mute, dear? Wonderful, no more annoying singing!" The Evil Queen chuckled.
Regina had enough of it, so she marched towards them and grabbed onto Emma's elbow to snatch her away from the cell before flick her free wrist, making the door sell shut. "There." She let go off Emma's elbow and let out a sigh.
"You can't keep me here!" The Evil Queen shouted. "I will find a way out and make sure you all will suffer the consequences!"
And that seemed to be her last warning because everybody stared at each other, wondering if she would say anything else, but she didn't, so it was time to start think. "We need to get her back." Regina said.
"We aren't even sure how she got here in first place." Emma folded her arms. "Henry said that she's from the past, but what if the others are right? What if she's from a parallel universe or something?"
"Whatever she is from, doesn't matter, Miss Swan. She doesn't belong here, so we have to get rid of her." Regina frowned at Emma.
"Jeez, you sound more angry than the mob." Emma commented.
And before Regina could snap, Snow quickly interfered. "Maybe we should go talk with Gold."
"Are we trusting that imp?" Regina looked at Snow.
"Hey, he doesn't care about revenge and dark magic anymore. He's too into his happy ending with Belle." David reminded them.
And Regina had to admit that was true, but she still held lots of grudges against that man. "Alright, I shall go have a word with him."
"Great! In the mean time, I can interrogate the queenie over there and see if we get more information." Emma clapped her hands together.
And Regina completely tried to ignore the nickname. "You are not stepping in there with her."
"Why not? Her magic's sealed, she is that cell, she can't do nothing."
"I said no, Miss Swan. I did not forget my old self, and trust me magic isn't the only thing she can do to harm you."
"Fine, fine, whatever. Go talk with Gold then so we can solve this." Emma sighed.
"Good." Regina nodded. "I'll see you in a bit." And with that she disappeared in a purple cloud of smoke.
And Emma waited exactly ten seconds before turn around and reach for the door from the cell.
"Emma, what are you doing?" Snow asked.
"What do you think? I am going to interrogate her."
"But Regina said no." David added.
"And? I am the sheriff not her, and I am doing my job by interrogating this woman who showed up in Storybrooke out of nowhere." Emma looked at them with a slight frown.
"But Regina still stated the Evil Queen is dangerous despite having her magic sealed." Snow said a bit worried.
"Oh please, I have fought men twice my size, she isn't a match." Emma let out a small chuckle. "Plus if it was somebody else, we'd be interrogating that person right now, so I don't see why I should do my job any different."
David let out a sigh. "Just be cautious."
"Got it!" And with that she quickly opened the door and stepped inside to close it behind her, so the Evil Queen would have no time to escape.
"I have a bad feeling about this, David." Snow mumbled as she placed her palm over her lover's strong arm.
"It's gonna be fine." David assured her but not even him was so sure about that.
Gold's Store
Gold was calmly looking through some items over his balcony as Regina showed up in his store out of nowhere. "Regina, welcome." He greeted.
"Hey." Regina greeted back with a slight frown. "Straight to the point, it seems the Evil Queen is here in Storybrooke and we need your help."
Now Gold stopped looking at the items and up at Regina. "The Evil Queen? As in..?"
"Yes." Regina quickly said, not wanting him to say it.
"But how?"
"We are not so sure about that yet, but Henry was the one who found her and he seems very confident that she's from the past."
"Well the boy isn't any fool, he might be right. Plus if it was a simple teleport from the Enchanted Forest to Storybrooke, it couldn't be you, because you are already in Storybrooke." Gold told her. "So there's 50% chances she's from the past."
"Just 50 percent!?"
"Well the other 50 is that she's from a parallel universe."
"Oh not you too." Regina groaned and dropped her head slightly forward.
"Huh?" Gold perked up an eyebrow.
"Nothing." Regina quickly dismissed that subject. "So she can be indeed part of another parallel universe?"
"Yes, she can and in that parallel universe the whole curse might not even happen yet, but for us to know that we need to know a lot more about her life. Information I doubt she's willing to give."
Regina clenched her jaw, hating that she was agreeing with Gold. "In a fit of rage she did said to Snow she hoped the magic price to pay would her unborn child."
"Magic price?"
"Yes, Emma put the bracelet around her waist to conceal her magic, and when she saw Snow she assumed she asked you for the bracelet and we all know magic comes with a price." Regina explained.
"I see, then that means that in her world or time Emma isn't even born." Gold stated. "But that still doesn't answer us if she's from the past or from another universe."
Regina let out an annoyed sigh before rub her forehead with her fingertips. "We need to get more information about her."
"Indeed."
"But how do we get her back?"
"If she's from the past, then it might be simple, we just open a time portal and send her back. We also have to make sure to erase her all memories from the past to not interfere with anything in our time." Gold answered. "But if she's from another universe, then that's going to be a lot more complicated."
"And why's that?" Regina frowned.
"Simple because portals to another universes can't be created."
"What?!"
"Funny thing is Regina and I am sure you know, magic can have a mind of its own and be just twirling around without any creator of it. So portals to another universes are created on their own but to actually open one so you can use it, you do need magic, very powerful one."
"Powerful enough for her to open it?"
"I am not sure, you were very powerful but to open portals like that would take you lots of energy and you'd be in bed rest for few days." Gold stated as he placed his palms over the balcony.
"So somebody else did and she used it?"
"Perhaps." Gold shrugged. "But its all assumptions now, you should really get more information from the Evil Queen so we can know what exactly to do about this."
Regina let out a sigh and nodded. "Alright." She turned around to talk out of the store, but then stopped to look at Gold from over her shoulder. "Thank you." She said like it was a big struggle but she still did thanked, before step out of the store.
And Gold just shook his head with a small smile. "Any time." He mumbled.
Asylum
When Regina got back to the asylum, she quickly frowned because she didn't saw Emma. "Where's she?"
David folded his arms and he cleared his throat. "She's interrogating the Evil Queen, just doing her job, Regina."
"I especially told her to not to!" Regina huffed out. "How long has she been in there?"
"For awhile now." Snow said with a shaky voice.
And Regina could tell they were both nervous and fearing for their daughter. "Have you heard any kind of alarming noise?"
"Such as?" David perked up an eyebrow.
"Screaming, David." Snow quickly said. "No, not any kind of struggle, they seemed to be quietly speaking."
"I see.." Regina looked at the door as she placed her palms on her sides, wondering if she should just ask Emma to get out of the cell now and tell her about what Gold said, or if she should let her carry on with the interrogation and see if the blonde would get more information.
However, their fears were all answered when finally Emma started screaming.
"Oh god! Regina, no! Stop! Shit!"
"She's in danger!" Snow quickly exclaimed.
