The gang return to Storybrooke!
And Pan plans his next move. Also something is revealed at the end of the chap!
You'll find out why Athena hates Pan.

Zila's POV

"Love wake up we're home" Rumple said gently shaking my body. I opened my eyes just as I felt the Jolly Roger landing in Storybrooke's harbor. I was still groggy but alert enough as the people who were eager to see us began to cheer and clap. I shook Dakota awake and like me she woke up in a groggy manner.

"We're home love" I told my daughter as I helped her up.

"Thank god" Dakota said as she rubbed sleep away from her eyes. Once she was awake enough Rumple, Dakota, and myself got off of the Jolly Roger. Amongst the greeters were Belle, Gabriel, and Maurice. A smile broke upon my face as I rushed to my sister and I threw my arms around her.

"Oh god I missed you Belle's" I told her.

"I've missed you too" Belle said. We broke apart and the two of us smirked as Rumple came over. I hugged Maurice next and Gabriel last.

"My god is this Dakota?" Maurice asked seeing his granddaughter for the first time. I smirked as I turned to Dakota who was at my side.

"Hello to you too Grandpa" Dakota greeted Maurice with a smirk. Maurice chuckled before he walked over and pressed a kiss against Dakota's forehead.

"Belle, Gabriel this is Dakota no doubt you remember her"

"I remember her" Belle smiled as she caressed her niece's face. "You look just like your mother"

"But she has her father's eyes" Gabriel added.

Rumple's POV

After I shared hugs with Belle and Gabriel I saw Athena and Diana smiling at us. Immediately I went over to them.

"Rumple" Athena said as I came over to her. I brought my female counter part into a hug and Athena chuckled before she hugged me back.

"It's good to see you safe and sound Mr. Gold" Diana said as Athena and I broke apart. I smiled at Diana just as Bae came over to me with the cane.

"Will you need this Papa?" he asked.

"No I don't think so" I told Bae.

I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It's good to have you back"

The two of us then shared another hug.

Later

Zila's POV

Nightfall

"Is she asleep?" Rumple asked I came down the stairs. After reuniting with everyone, Rumple and I decided to spend the night at his house. Rumple had actually conjured the guest room into a thirteen year old girl's room which delighted Dakota. It had all of the things she was currently interested in and later I would have her enrolled at the local middle school. I was in a pair of black sweat pants and a dark blue tank top, my hair was wet from a shower that I had craved so much for. Rumple was in a pair of black pajama pants and a white short sleeved shirt. I sat beside him on the couch.

"Aye she is" I told my mate. "She loves her room"

"Good I intend to spoil her"

"Only to an extent I want our child to earn things she wants" I told my husband with a firm tone. "She already demanded wanting to go to school"

Rumple snorted at that comment. However something was bothering him.

"What is it?" I asked my mate.

"Athena asked about Pan and I told her he was trapped inside Pandora's Box, she seemed relieved to hear this"

"Do you think she has more history with Pan than she claims to admit?" I asked. I knew Athena hated Pan because he took Diana from her.

"I don't know, Athena has always had secrets some she doesn't wish to share"

"I wouldn't worry about it mate of mine, Pan is done for, he's in that box for eternity, let's go to bed" I told my husband.

Next Day
Still Zila's POV

Rumple and I ended up sleeping late the next morning and when we woke up we found a note left behind by Dakota. Our daughter was hanging out with her aunt for a bit so Rumple and I decided to grab some brunch from Granny's. The diner was starting to get a little crowded for the lunch rush which was to be expected. Neal was sitting in a booth drinking some coffee; he looked down in the dumps. I forgot Neal had asked Emma out last night when we all went to Granny's to have dinner.

"Go talk to your son" I elbowed Rumple in the side.

"My son doesn't need dating advice dearie" Rumple told me.

"I don't care go see if he's alright before we bloody eat" I ordered. Rumple only chuckled before he went over to make sure Neal was alright while I went to get a booth. My stomach growled as I sat down and Granny came over with some coffee.

"Your daughter and sister came in this morning, I heard you gave birth before heading to Neverland" Granny said as she finished pouring my coffee.

"Don't remind me giving birth to a half immortal child was bloody painful" I told the owner of the diner. "She aged pretty quickly due to her father's genetics, now she will age like a normal child"

"You and your husband are good parents, that girl is well behaved unlike most teenagers"

Granny's comment got me to snort just as Rumple sat in the booth. He ordered coffee from Granny before she left the table.

"Bae got turned down by Ms. Swan"

"No wonder he looks like that" I said looking to Neal. Neal noticed he saw me looking and he smiled at me. I smiled back at him before Granny returned for our orders. Since I was starving I ordered French Toast, Rumple ordered the same. When the food arrived as usual I ate my food fast, and this only got Rumple to roll his eyes.

"Don't roll your eyes at me Rumplestiltskin Night, remember us wolves have a fierce desire for food and eat more than the average human" I scolded my mate.

Rumple smirked before he went to eat his food. A half hour later I paid the bill and Rumple and I stood up to leave. Snow and David were in another booth and Rumple went over to them and set a bottle down on the table. I forgot Rumple had made an elixir so David's Dreamshade could be cured.

"This will cure your poison" Rumple said to David.

"Damn you already found a cure?" David asked.

"I am a man of my word and it's on the house, my wife will have my hide if I asked for a deal"

"Damn right" I voiced in.

"Zila you really have changed him" Snow said eying Rumple.

"Thank you" David said to my mate.

Rumple nodded and the two of us left the diner and headed in the direction of the Pawnshop. We ended up spending the rest of the afternoon there.

"So Rumple" I said getting my mate's attention. Rumple had just finished checking everything was still in place after we left for Neverland.

"What is it love?" Rumple asked coming over to me.

"I want to still work at the shelter but I think I will do it part-time and help you with the shop part-time if that will suffice" I explained to my husband.

Rumple smiled telling me that he liked my idea. We were in the back office at the moment. His tie was loose and I walked over and began to straighten it out.

"That should do" I told him as I finished tying the tie up properly. Rumple had another smile on his face and I felt my face blush.

"What?" I asked.

"I was just thinking how much of a good wife and mother you are" Rumple said. "You and I have been through so much together that's all"

"Don't you even start mate of mine, I don't need to be crying" I said.

"You look beautiful when you cry though love" Rumple said as he caressed my face. Today I was wearing blue jeans and a matching t-shirt with my hair loose, I wore my black leather jacket over it, and I had black boots on. My two necklaces were around my neck. Rumple pressed his forehead against mine and we closed our eyes. A second later Rumple's lips met with mine for a much needed kiss. Still to this day every time Rumple kissed me, it always made my heart go wild.

"You should hear my heart going crazy it always does that when you kiss me" I told Rumple after we broke apart for air.

"You do the same to mine love" Rumple said to me before he kissed my forehead. My I-Phone then buzzed and I read a text message from Belle asking if it was okay for Dakota to have dinner with her. Of course I sent a text back telling her that was perfectly fine. Rumple and I finished up our work before we closed the shop for the day. As soon as we got outside Emma hurried over to us with her parents. Immediately I could tell something was wrong.

"Whatever crisis you're dealing with I'm done for the day"

"Rumple don't start something isn't right" I said to my mate. "What is it Emma, what has you and your parents so freaked out?"

"The blue fairy was killed by Pan's Shadow" David said.

"What?" Rumple said not believing his ears.

"We need to open Pandora's Box" Emma said.

"What are you crazy?" Rumple said.

"Somehow the shadow is being controlled we need to know why"

"And you think opening the box is a good idea no disrespect Ms. Swan but doing so is dangerous, if I learned one thing it's not to tempt fate"

"I'm not looking to apprehend him but I think it's a good idea to be absolutely certain, Henry has been acting strange"

"Rumple she's right, if Pan is somehow loose in Storybrooke, our daughter isn't safe"

"Alright you have a point there" Rumple agreed giving in.

Town Line

I got out of the car as Rumple put the car in park.

"If we release Pan outside Storybrooke, he'll be powerless to fight back" Rumple had Bae's shawl and was about to cross the line when Emma stopped him.

"Unh-unh I'm doing this" the Savior told my mate.

"I can cross the town line and retain my memories"

"It's not about that, there's no magic over there, all due respect the real world is my expertise, I'm gonna deal with Pan on my own terms"

"He is my father"

"My hunch if I fail your more than welcome to pick up the pieces" Emma said before she crossed the town line and she got out her gun.

"Emma be careful" Snow told her daughter.

Emma nodded and Rumple waved his hand over Pandora's Box activating it. The same red smoke appeared and my mate placed the box over the line and in front of Emma who held her gun ready to use it. We all watched as the smoke began to form into a person and a second later Pan was on the road his back to Emma's. Pan stood up and looked around as though he had no idea where he was. He then turned to us and he looked alarmed, he then turned to Emma. His eyes went wide when he saw that Emma held the gun.

"Mom?"

"What?" Emma said.

"What are you waiting for shoot him" Rumple said.

"Don't! Please, I'm Henry, Pan he switched our bodies"

"You expect me to believe that?" Emma asked.

"Don't listen to him this is one of his tricks" Rumple growled.

"No it's not! He did it right before Grandpa captured me in the box I swear!"

Pan made a walk towards Emma but Emma held her gun up and told him not to get any closer.

"Shoot him!" Rumple shouted.

"Maybe he's telling the truth, maybe that's why I can't shake this feeling something's off about Henry"

"Maybe that's what he wants you to believe if he steps over this line we're all dead" Rumple said.

"Alright if you really are Henry prove it, tell me something only Henry would know"

"I got trapped in the mines, I tried blowing up the well, I like hot cocoa with cinnamon"

"This proves nothing"

"Gold's right Emma, Henry could have told Pan all of this in Neverland" Snow told her daughter.

"Pan might know facts, but life is made up of more than that, there are moments, he can't possibly know all of them, the first time you and I connected you remember that? Not met, but connected"

"Yeah"

"Where was it?"

"In my castle right after you came to Storybrooke"

"And what did you tell me?"

"That I knew why you gave me up"

"Why?"

"You wanted to give me my best chance"

"Bloody hell that's Henry all right" I said realizing that Henry was in Pan's body. Emma lowered her gun and put it away just as Henry went over to Emma and hugged her. Rumple actually blushed and I smirked. Emma and Pan, well Henry in Pan's body turned to us.

"Promise you're not going to incinerate us when we step over the line"

Then the two of them walked over the line and Henry went over to his grandparents and hugged them.

"I'm sorry I doubted you Henry, and I'm sorry I put you in this box in the first place"

Henry turned to me and Rumple.

"It's okay I would have done the same thing" Henry said. Then Henry walked over to me and I hugged him. Rumple placed a hang on Henry's shoulder as I hugged my grandson.

Outside Regina's Vault

It was no doubt that Pan was with Regina and knowing Pan he would be at Regina's vault. Rumple held his hand up and he used his magic to undo whatever magic that held Regina's vault in place. The doors opened and I breathed a sigh of relief. We all went down the stairs and on the floor was an unconscious Regina. Snow hurried over to her stepmother while David went to look for Pan. Of course he was gone and Emma called for Henry. Rumple bent down and he used his magic to heal Regina. Regina woke up a second later.

"What happened?" she asked as she sat up.

"Pan somehow managed to switch bodies with Henry" I answered Regina.

"And I fell for it"

"We all did" Snow voiced in.

"I wanted to believe what he was saying so badly, I missed the signs, I just wanted to believe that he still needed me as his mother"

"I still do" Henry said as he walked into the room.

Regina looked to Henry.

"Henry?"

Henry went over to Regina and hugged her.

"So what exactly did Pan come down here to get?" David inquired. Rumple was standing over a box.

"Rumple what is it?" I asked noticing the serious look on his face. My mate turned to Regina.

"Please tell me you didn't keep it down here?"

"Where else would I keep it?" Regina asked.

"What did Pan take?" Emma asked.

"The curse" I said realizing why Rumple looked so alarmed.

"Why would Pan even want with the curse?" Regina asked. "I already cast it"

"And I broke it" Emma added.

"But that doesn't mean it can't be casted again" I said turning to the others. "And that would send us all back to the Enchanted Forest and all of our memories will be erased again, and this time Emma, you won't be able to break it"

Pan's POV

I finished putting the ingredients into the well. Felix was with me because I needed his help.

"Are we missing something?" Felix asked.

"Yes"

"What is it?"

"The heart of the thing I love most"

"You mean your son's heart? Rumplestiltskin"

"No, no I never loved Rumple"

"Well than whose heart do we need? Who do you love?"

"Love can mean many things, Felix, it doesn't just come from romance or family, it can also come from loyalty, friendship"

Felix look afraid now as he realized it was his heart I needed.

"Don't be afraid be flattered"

Felix was about to protest when I plunged my hand into his chest and I took out his heart. I then crushed it and the grains went into the well activating the curse. A second later I was suddenly pulled away from the well by dark magic. When I was done being transported I was still in the woods, and Athena the female Dark One stood in front of me.

"Hello Athena it's been a long time"

"I should have known you would be pulling something like this" Athena said to me. She was dressed in a black strapless dress with a purple train flowing behind it; a red sash was around her waist. "In the end you will die"

"No is that really a way to greet your father?"

"You never were my father" Athena snarled. "You were dead to me the day you left me alone with my broken hearted mother, she cried for you every night, she eventually died because of a broken heart, you left her and me, like the pathetic coward you were and still are"

"I've always wondered why you never told Rumple you were his sister"

"I had my reasons" Athena hissed. "You may have think you have won but your death will be at my hands"

"Then try and stop me my girl"

"Oh I intend too"

With that my daughter disappeared into a cloud of crimson smoke.

^^
Wasn't expecting Athena and Rumple to be siblings huh?
One of them will die with Pan at the next chap.
