Chapter three – Nanda Parbat

A\N : Hi guys, sorry I took a long break I had school and stuff.

starting this episode, I'm going to add dates to the flashback so the timeline will be clear for you as much as I can.

Something to notice I am going to take the whole ARROW timeline ten years back meaning, things that had happened in the show at 2007 actually happened in 1997 in my fanfic.

Love you all! And thank you for reading and comment! Please continue!

Previously on Double Life:

"helicopter? Really? There was never helicopter in Storybrooke!" Emma declared

The helicopter was now closer and they could see black hooded figures, half body out of the helicopter and it seems like they starring on them.

August 1996

This day was just like yesterday. And like the day before. And like last week. And last month. It was the same daily routine for now 13 years. that's not what I wanted Regina thought. I wanted a fresh start. a happy ending, and this is not how a happy ending looks like.

She needed to do something else.

Maybe the world outside will have something to offer.

Over the years, the internet developed and Regina was amazed by the technology of this world. She was quiet fond with the computers and found out she was good at it. That's actually how she busied herself, with time and practice she learned how to hack and connect to the internet's underline.

Now, it was evening and she knew where she should look for that something else. She opened her computer and connected she looked a little between the websites and then she saw something that caught her eye. It was a riddle, a poster and two people were drawn on it. They had black masks on their faces and their outfits were warrior's alike. They both had swords and they were turning one at the other. The figures were in a dark room looked like even sort of a cave, two torches at the sides filling the room with little orange light. The poster carried the caption "who wins?" and was added an URL address for replaying your answer. She looked at the picture and thought, she examined it carefully.

'their uniforms are alike and their possessions aren't fight-to-death mood' she thought.

Being The Evil Queen and trying to hunt Snow White down for years had skilled her with knowledge about fights, weapons and such. Save to say she was quiet fond of it too.

'none of them is going to win, they just fight until one or the other surrenders.'

Regina clicked on the URL address to answer and wrote her answer in the blank where it said 'TYPE YOUR ANSWER' and sent it.

Not thinking about it much, she continued to move between websites and then she looked at the clock '22:13' and decided it's best to go shower and sleep. She closed her computer and went up the stairs.

September 1996

"Here is your coffee Madam Mayor, have a good day" Ruby handed Regina her coffee over the diner's counter and Regina paid. "thank you Ms. Lucas" she knew exactly how Ruby would greet her and what she would say. this daily routine is sucks! over the last month Regina didn't found anything else to do and she looked up everywhere. She pushed the door and moved towards her classic Mercedes car, she got in and drove to the town hall.

Later that day, she was still working and then she heard the fax machine beeping. She got up and took the page that was sent from the printer, seeing what was on it she frowned.

She saw a strange logo on the top of the page and the paper was tilted with the caption "The League of Assassins" 'who are they?' Regina thought. That was very odd but the logo looked very familiar. Where have she seen it? She looked at the massage below and read it "Hello, we received your answer to the riddle we posted on the internet and we wanted to offer you to join us" 'join to a league of assassins?' Regina mentally laughed 'seriously?' she shake it off and kept reading "You might be wondering how we found your number" well, that's one way to describe her wonder "We have our ways for those kind of things. if you want to accept our offer then be at the Twin Towers in December 13th at 12;00 p.m. exactly. A black car will be waiting and will take you to a heliport and from there to our headquarters. We trust you to keep it all in secret otherwise there will be hard consequences. In case you'll come, you don't have to bring anything with you other than yourself. And a bag with things you want with you" The end of the document was sealed with the caption "The league"

Regina did not know what to do. It was indeed something new and a fresh start but did she really wanted to become an assassin? 'well at list I have enough time to think about it and it's not like I haven't killed back in the Enchanted forest…' sighing she folded the paper and put it in her bag and went back to her work.

December 13th 1996

Regina was now standing side to a bunch, she was looking for the black car but there were plenty of them. 'couldn't they be more specific?' she thought annoyed.

Even being here, she still couldn't believe she was actually doing this. Yesterday morning, she was actually going to work as usual but when Ruby greeted her with the daily sentence "have a good day" like for the last 13 years, she had realized she doesn't want to do this anymore so instead of going to work she drove back home, put some cloths in a suitcase and put her passport in her bag, locked her house and turned to look at it one last time. She was nervously excited but she knew in her head she had to do this, so she took a deep breath turned around. She opened the baggage of her car and put in the suitcase. she closed it and got in the car herself. She drove to the town line, at the town line she stopped the car, it was silly of her to be nervous she knew nothing would happen to her memory because she wasn't cursed and she knew she could come and go from Storybrooke as she desires, but yet she was nervous "okay" she told to herself "here we go" she started the car again and drove crossed the town line.

When she arrived to Boston at first she looked for a place to eat. She got into a small nice café and ordered when she finished she went back to her car looked at the map and planned her way to New York.

New York was huge.

Boston was like a big town compare to New York City. She looked at her map again, looking for a hotel to stay in that was near The Twin Towers and when she found one that seemed nice and she went to it. In the hotel reception she rent a room and got her key, the number "1213" was on it. Regina found her room and unlocked it, she got in nice she thought. It was a good choice of place to stay in. Regina decided to stay in the hotel for the rest of her time until tomorrow 12:00 p.m., New York was a huge city and the last thing she wanted was to get lost in it.

Now she was searching for the black car in the sea of all the possible transportations but then she saw it, it was small and almost unnoticeable for those who weren't looking for this but she was and she saw The League's logo on one of the black cars it was a Mercedes modal very similar to her own. They were obviously clever because sure they did not want to attract unwanted attention. She walked towards the car at each step she took she got filled with strength and courage. She felt like the queen she was at the Enchanted Forest once again.

When she approached the car, the front door swung and opened. A man dressed with a black suit and black sunglasses came out of the car and opened for her the back door.

"Are you Regina Mills?" the man asked her. Regina nodded and he moved away so she could get in the car.

"your suitcase Ms. Mills" The man offered her help.

"thank you, sir" Regina replied and handed him her suitcase. Once he took it she got into the car. The car was as black in the inside as it was at the outside. Regina tied her seat belts and got comfortable in her seat

Inside the car there was a glass window that prevented from Regina to see the driver but a moment later the man who helped her with her suitcase came inside the car and sat next to her. He took two bottles of water out from aside and offered Regina one. Regina never wanted to take anything from people she doesn't know and the people in the league were not an expectance. She took the bottle but gave the guy a questioning look.

"I don't take a drink from people I don't know." Regina said to him. The man nodded and then spoke "you're a clever woman indeed. It contains a liquid that will make you sleep until we will get to Nanda Parbat." He answered to her question

"And why would you need that for?" Regina asked

"We may want you in the league as one of us but we're not stupid either and for gaining our trust you will have to work hard." He said

Regina nodded. It's only logical for them to do so. She opened the bottle and closed it to her mouth "cheers" she said and drink some of the water then she closed the bottle and handed it to the man. He took the bottle from her and she start feeling sleepy.

"Sleep well" the man's word was the last thing she heard.

April 2015

The helicopter lowered to the ground and three black, hooded figures jumped out to the street. One of them took a step closer to Regina and pulled the hood back, reviling her face.

"Nyssa?" Regina asked almost disbelieve

"Long time, no see Regina" the woman whose name is Nyssa greeted Regina.
