Guys, I am SO SORRY. I haven't checked my account recently, nor have I checked my email, and I'm so sorry to keep you on the wait. Also, I'm going to alternate viewpoints. So the last chapter was Emma's, and this one will be Regina's.
Regina entered the house of the Charmings, carrying a black bracelet with which she had a past. They'd asked her to find somehting that could neutralize the Snow Queen's powers, so the townsfolk wouldn't be as afraid of her.
Emma and Ingrid were in the room, alongside Mary Margaret Blanchard and David Nolan. Henry was at Regina's home, needing a little comfort after Rumplestiltskin's latest stunt in trying to kill Captain Handicap. Anyways, Regina did not care about the pirate, but Gold was messing with the minds of everyone in this town and she was partially glad he left. But he wasn't the only one.
No, she thought, you're thinking about him. Let him be happy. You're not the Evil Queen anymore.
"Sorry for the delay" She said, trying to put on a fake smile.
"Regina, you never smile like that" Mary Margaret commented "You're not even snarking. You don't have to pretend you're happy about the whole situation"
Thank you so much, Snow, she ironically thought, are you trying to make me sad about my love life, once again?
"Wasn't this the bracelet Greg put on you that stole your powers?" David asked
Ingrid stepped forward and put the bracelet on. And then, she added:
"Is there any way I can repay you?"
"Don't sweat it, it was on Gold's shop" Regina said. So here was she, helping Emma integrate her former loving foster mother, alongside her actual biological mother. The whole situation made Regina a little bitter about her past with Cora, but then again, Zelena had it worse. She wasn't going to pretend that seeing the Charmings being so supportive of a villain getting redemption didn't warm her heart on a personal level, but she was dealing with too much as it was. So, in a puff of purple smoke, she teleported back home.
"To walk in town,you're going to need new clothes, Ingrid" Snow said. "Well, you're bigger than Emma and Regina, and me too, but the dresses I wore during the pregnancy might fit"
The Snow Queen patiently tried them. All were too big, and the other ones, too small. The wardrobe she kept at her shop had been ruined by angry civilians under the Shattered Sight.
"I can sew them if you want to"
"I don't plan on being much of a bother" Ingrid said, and waved her hand. Nonetheless, nothing happened. Then, she remembered, she didn't have any magic now. Oh, how useful those cuffs would've been when she were a child. Helga would never have died, and Gerda wouldn't turn against her.
"Well, actually, I wouldn't mind now" The Snow Queen solemnly said, leaving the room, disgruntled at what the loss of her powers meant for her in the present.
