Regina watched Emma turn towards Killian and her head head buzzed. What just happened. Was that a sleeping curse? Emma held her hand. When she woke up, Emma had moved her head away from Regina's hand. Was that...?
"True love's kiss?"
Killian's voice was breaking with pain. Emma turned to Regina but Regina looked back blankly. She didn't have an answer. She tried to speak but couldn't find any words.
Suddenly, Emma sprung upwards. "The evil queen. She took Henry."
Regina felt all the colour drain from her face and she went cold. Apparently Emma felt the same.
"We gotta go, Regina."
Regina stood and the two women fell into step.
"Wait!" Killian still stood at the front of the isle, face crumpled in pain. "Emma we have to talk!"
Regina studied the ground.
"No, Killian. It's Henry. I've got to go."
Regina looked up and locked eyes with Emma and the two of them strode from the room, leaving a spluttering pirate and dazed townsfolk in their wake.
They stepped into the cool air outside the hall and Regina drew a breath into her lungs. "Where could she have gone?"
"I don't know, she's your other half!"
Regina looked at Emma condescendingly. "Thanks for the help, I hadn't worked that out."
The two of them stood an awkward distance apart, unsure how to get back onto familiar territory. They needed to talk but now really wasn't the moment.
Regina racked her brains to think where the queen would have taken Henry. "Well, I would take him to the house," she said hesitantly. "But she's different. No emotions, just tactics. She would want him somewhere out of the reach. Hard to get to."
She looked at Emma and they moved as one towards Emma's bug. It didn't need to be said out loud, they had both thought of Regina's vault. It struck Regina as they were climbing into the car that that trust that Emma could read her mind was a link between them. A bridge. She wondered what they would do once they found Henry.
She dipped her head and stepped into the car. It was only at this point she noticed that Emma was still in her ridiculous wedding dress, and the thick fabric was crumpled around her in the car. Today was meant to be Emma's wedding day. A wedding that would most likely be continued at some later date. Emma wanted Killian. She loved Killian.
Regina looked at Emma. At where her hands lay on the wheel. "We need to go, Emma."
"Uh-huh."
Regina dipped her head to see Emma's face. She was frozen. "Emma."
She jerked awake and turned the key. She turned to Regina. "We can do this."
Regina smiled but Emma wasn't talking to her. She was talking to herself. Preparing herself.
They drove away.
