Wendy had passed out from exhaustion shortly after her revival and make out session. Peter picked up bridal style and turned to Emma, who was hugging her son tightly in her arms. Peter bows his head to the woman.
"I cannot thank you enough for bringing Wendy back to me." He says gratefully and smiles. Emma is not so forgiving about Pan kidnapping her son but will be civil for Wendy's sake, she simply nods. Peter turns heel and heads inside the tree he calls home with Felix trailing close behind. Neil remembers what Wendy told him about Felix's betrayal and quickly rushes up. Hook holds out his hand to stop him.
"No mate, this is something I have to do. Time I finally faced the music." He says calmly, a heavy hand falls on his right shoulder. It was David; his complexion had gotten paler and his eyes more dull because of the poison become more potent in his blood stream.
"I'm staying with you. Don't even try to convince me otherwise. I know if anyone hurt Snow, I would tear them to pieces. You are going to need back up when you tell him. I doubt that Felix would just openly admit to plotting to kill his leader's girlfriend." He explained with laugh which quickly turned into a cough.
"Wendy is much more than just Pan's girlfriend. She is his true love, nothing but her would have stopped him" Snow informs her husband and she hugs him. David hides his wince when her hands touch his infected cut.
"You all would be crazy not to let me join. I would love a reason to smack some sense into that brat." Regina says with an electric crackle of her hands from magic.
"I should come too then" Neil said and crossed his arms but David shook his head.
"You have to look after your family while we are gone. Use this time to catch up. I'm sure they have plenty of questions for you." David says knowingly. Neal looks toward Emma and their son and knows that David is right.
"Alright, be careful and don't do anything stupid. He is already dangerous; you don't want to see him when he is provoked." Neal advised before leaving the group to return with his family; who decided to go to the first camp they had set up.
"Pan, may we have a word with you?" Hook called out as he knocked on the door of the tree home. Peter emerged, curious of what it was that these people had to say to him.
"What is it you would like to speak about, I am busy" He said referring to his looking after Wendy.
"It regards what happened all those years ago." Hook replied and stood up straighter. Pan cocked an eyebrow and frowned.
"I remember very well what happened and I have not forgotten that you are the cause of all of this." Pan said harshly and took an intimidating step forward; he seemed to grow taller in his rage. However, Hook stood his ground.
"There is more to it than you know and I believe it is best we speak privately, so not to disturb the girl." Hook reminded. This made Peter look towards the back of the home where his bedroom curtain hung. Wendy was resting behind that curtain and he did not wish to cause her anymore discomfort.
"Adam" Pan called and the little boy scampered in from the kitchen still holding a beagle in his mouth. He looked like a hungry dog not willing to give up his food. Pan smiled at the sight.
"Look after Wendy for me and let Felix know he is in charge until I get back. I have some matters to attend to." Pan informed the boy and he trotted off to do as he was told. Pan followed the group to a nearby clearing and was beginning to become specious when he was asked to sit down.
"I do not need to sit. Whatever it is that you need to tell me will have the same effect as if I were sitting down." Pan said. His mistrust for the group was eminent. However, he did not see them as enough of a threat to bring back up.
"Alright, let's begin with that I truly apologize that I attempted to kill Wendy, but I was put up to it." Hook began he took in a breath to continue but Pan interrupted him.
"You truly apologize, well that's all fine and good. Would you like a pat on the back or an 'I forgive you', sorry mate that isn't about to happen. You managed to take the one thing that made my life have meaning away from me; this is something that I will never forgive." Pan spat at the pirate.
"It's funny you say that, because you managed to do the same thing to me, Pan. You see I am very much like you: Selfish, foreboding, and controlling. Henry is the only thing in my life that matters to me and you ripped him away from me. You are no better than Hook." Regina explained as she glared at the powerful boy before her. The sky began to grow dark and thunder began to rumble.
"Watch yourself, sorceress." Pan warned and lightning struck a tree a mile away from where they were standing. Regina couldn't help but smile.
"Resorting to lightning again, Pan? We all know how well that turned out last time" she taunted and that was the final straw and Pan lunged at the woman. He was at that moment shot with an arrow. It merely grazed his arm but that was enough: the paralyzing agent began to work immediately.
"Sorry, laddie but can't have you doing that. You won't get to hear the best part of the story." Rumple announced from the tree he had been hiding in. Tinkerbelle was with him, she had used the paralyzing pollen of a golden flower call the "Feracia", to coat the arrow and subdue Pan. The boy snarled at the pair in the tree. They descended and joined the rest of the group on the ground. Regina was about to antagonize Pan a bit more when Snow stopped her.
"Enough, this constant battle will leave us nowhere. Pan, I need you to listen to what Hook has to say. It can mean life or death for you and your lost boys" Snow pleaded. Pan was still enraged but he had no choice but to stand and listen.
"Go on" Pan instructed. Hook cleared his throat.
"As I was saying, I was put up to the act of killing Wendy by none other than your second in command." Hook informed and Pan just laughed at the seemingly preposterous statement.
"You really must think I am just a child, someone you can make believe anything you want. You want to push the blame onto someone else; which I can relate to because I have done it before. But to blame Felix, that was bold." He says while still laughing. No one else was laughing and at this point Tinkerbelle walked up to the boy.
"It's true, he always hated Wendy and it wasn't the first time he tried to get rid of her. One day, I overheard him telling her to get out while she could because you would replace her soon enough." She explained softly and Pan looked incredulous. He shook his head repeatedly.
"I always knew he was jealous of her but I never thought that he would...No, and why should I believe you; so far you are the one who has betrayed me, not Felix." He says accusingly to the fairy. Tinkerbelle sighs and outs her hand on the boy's shoulder, his neck muscles clench as he attempts to get away from her but the paralysis prevents him from doing so.
"I have been looking out for you for four hundred years, I needed to do what I thought was best for you. Right now, what is best is for you to know the truth. You need to listen, Peter Pan." She advised.
"He sought me out on my ship, he made me a proposition. If I killed Wendy then I would be able to leave this wretched place. Being the coward I was, I followed through." He explains. Pan's face loses color.
"That's why you were able to escape… He is alone is there with her now. Release me now!" Pan shouts as he tosses his head from side to side trying to break free. Rumple waved his hand in front of the boy and immediately he was released. He sprinted towards the tree home with the rest of the group following close behind. He burst through the door and ran straight for the bedroom, there was Felix holding a pillow over Wendy's head. Pan thrust his hand forward and Felix slammed into a wall but he was still holding Wendy's unconscious body.
"You, traitorous bastard!" Peter shouted and began to clench his fist; Felix began to gasp and clutched his throat. As he began to turn red in the face, Felix smiled.
"C-careful, Pan" He managed to say as he held a poisoned tipped arrow to Wendy's throat. Pan stopped and Felix laughed hoarsely.
"See, she has made you weak. Getting rid of her once and for all would be a great service." Felix said and he stroked Wendy's still damp hair. Pan's muscles in his arms flexed from the other side of the room.
"Skinning you alive would be a great service." Pan growled and Snow felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end from the venom in his voice. Adam, who had been knocked unconscious by Felix was beginning to come to, he groaned in pain from being slammed head first into a wall.
"I have been your best friend, before this girl's parents were even thought of. You would just throw me away for a pretty face." Felix chuckled at the last part.
"Well, it's not so pretty anymore." Felix mocked. The heat of the room intensified rapidly but Felix didn't seem to mind, despite the heavy sweat that appeared on his brow. There was something odd though; Wendy's skin began to glow. The blue of her veins turned a few shades lighter. In an instant her body released an electric shock and Felix screamed at the intensity but still managed to stay conscious. The poison arrow was still being held tightly in his hand. Wendy had regained consciousness and carefully began to stand.
"Well that's an interesting new power." She said almost to herself as she looked at her hands. Peter rushed forward to help her but she stopped him.
"I think I have had enough dying for three lifetimes, it's time I protect myself and that starts with dealing with him." She said motioning her head towards Felix. He stares defiantly at the electric girl.
"It's time we end this" She says.
