Superwoman knocks on Regina's back door, as she dare not knock on the front door in-case anyone saw her.
She had also had a long day at the police station, where she hadn't been able to concentrate because she had been thinking of this evening so damn much.
She even ended up getting herself knocked over by a shoplifting suspect, trying to run away from her.
Suddenly, the back door swings open with Regina instantly, causing Superwoman to have that fuzzy feeling again.
"Hey" Superwoman then says, feeling a little anxious and Regina says "Hello" and moves to the side, so Superwoman may enter.
"Hows your day been dear?" Regina then asks, while shutting the door and fixing, her already perfect hair.
"Its been okay I guess, I haven't had no major incidents to deal with so that's good right?"
Regina nods and goes to the fridge.
"What you like a drink?" she asks.
"Sure"
"How about the best Apple Cider that you will ever taste?" she smirks at Superwoman, who nods.
"Yeah thanks"
Regina then smiles again and retrieves the drink, before handing it to Superwoman and saying "Dinner won't be long and Henry will be down soon. Especially once he knows your hear"
"How is he?"
"Good thank-you"
They smile at one another for a moment. Until Emma clears her throat.
"So, how has your day been?" she asks, whilst still feeling a little anxious for some reason, that she can't explain.
"Eventful actually" Regina answers and goes to look in the oven, which allows Superwoman to take the opportunity to check out Regina's attire of a simple black dress. Without being obvious about it.
"I had a meeting at town hall this morning, where the bastard pawn shop owner, tried and failed to make me look like an idiot" she smirks and looks back to Emma.
Who looks away, wondering if she got caught staring.
"Do you need him sorting out?" Emma then jokes and Regina chuckles.
"No, your okay dear. I'm sure he'll get his comeuppance soon enough" she replies with a smile.
They then hear a voice shout "SUPERWOMAN" excitedly from the doorway and Regina and Superwoman look to Henry. Who is now excitedly jumping on the spot and clapping his hands together.
"Hey kid"
"You came" he says happily and steps forward, closer to her.
"Of course I did. Wouldn't miss this for the world" she tells him genuinely and this causes both Henry and Regina to beam at her.
"Have you saved anyone today?" Henry then asks, whilst looking up at her expectantly.
"No not today. Its been rather quiet" she partly lies, because she had work at the police station earlier but she couldn't tell them that.
"Do you want to see my room?" he then asks a little shyly.
"Sure"
And with that, Henry takes her hand and pulls her towards his room. Where he shows her his toys and comics.
"That's some collection you got there" Superwoman says, gesturing to his stack of comics on his small desk against the wall. As she sits on his bed.
"Yeah..mom gets me one comic every week if I'm good" he says proudly.
"Really...well it looks like you've been real good"
He nods and goes to pick one up.
"Have you heard of the avengers?" he asks, showing Emma the front cover.
"Yeah sure I have, their actually friends of mine" she jokes but Henry takes it seriously and goes wide eyed.
"This looks pretty cool" Superwoman then says, gesturing to a xbox game that is laid upon the bed.
"Its a magic quest game..mom doesn't let me play fighting ones as she says um to young and violence is bad"
Emma nods.
"Violence is bad Henry. Its probably best that you stick with these ones anyway. Your become more clever that way"
He tilts his head and puts his comic down and asks "Will you be coming back here again soon?"
Emma chuckles.
"I've only just got here Henry"
"Yeah i know...but mom doesn't have friends. I think she would like it if you came more"
Emma nods and thinks that makes two of us.
Regina then interrupts, by standing at the door and saying "I hope your being nice to our guest Henry"
"Yes mom" he smiles. "I just showed her my comics"
"Oh did you now" she looks to Emma who nods.
"She knows the Avengers mommy"
"Really!" she raises an eyebrow at Emma, who just shrugs.
"Okay well, dinner is almost ready and we should go back downstairs"
Superwoman takes that as a cue to stand up, Before Henry takes her hand and leads her out of the room with Regina following close behind and shaking her head in amusement, as Henry starts to tell Superwoman about his day.
During Dinner, Superwoman shifts in her seat a little anxiously.
"Are the chairs to hard dear?" Regina asks with a smirk.
"Oh no. I just, I'm not used to having dinner with people that's all"
Regina tilts her head and suddenly sees that Superwoman is out of her comfort zone here and she tries to reassure her.
"Its okay dear. I also am not used to having dinner with anyone other than Henry"
Emma looks surprised.
"I thought a lovely woman as yourself, would have many friends"
Regina shakes her head, as she picks up her glass of wine.
"I have one person that I can call a true friend. She's my best friend even but other than that the people in this town seem to find me...not friendly" she could think of harsher words but Henry was present.
Superwoman frowns and thinks about her conversation with the waitress at the Diner.
"But who wouldn't like you? your a good person. I don't understand" she then says a little baffled.
Regina scoffs.
"They are they ones that don't seem to understand me dear" she then says lowly and Henry says to Superwoman "You understand my mommy"
"Yeah, I think I'm beginning too" Superwoman replies and Regina ducks her head and tucks the loose hair behind her ear, before looking up bashfully at Superwoman. Who is looking at her with a smile.
Emma then continues to eat her rather delicious meal. That Regina has made for them and she can't help but think, where this might lead.
Whilst also hoping, that there will be more occasions like this with her new found friends...
