"I'm sorry, but what exactly is happening?" Belle asked quietly.
"Enough." Regina silenced her. Hook watched with wide eyes as Belle slumped back on the bed.
"Since you were able to pass all of my guards," Regina grinned at him, her hand tangling in the necklace around his neck, tugging lightly, "you and I are going to work together." She chuckled, "I will help you kill the Dark One, but first you're going to do something for me." She snapped her fingers and the two of them were gone.
Emma carefully emerged from her hiding place, "Hook?" She looked around, "Fuck." She glanced down at Belle and shook her. "Belle?" The woman stirred, "Belle, we need to go." Emma nudged her again.
"What?" Belle murmured.
"We need to go. Come on." Emma tugged the woman forward.
Belle retracted her arm, "No, I will not go with you." Belle screeched. "I will not help you hurt him."
Emma rolled her eyes, "I have no interest in hurting him. He sent us to save you. Killian was just trying to save us." She grabbed the woman's arm, "Now let's go."
The door flew open again, "You." The guard pointed at Emma, "You are under arrest."
Emma let out a shriek as he latched onto her arm, struggling with him as he shoved her out of the dungeon. Realizing that struggling was pointless at the moment, Emma allowed herself to be led down to the dungeons where most prisoners were kept.

Killian glared at Regina, "I really dislike you at times, your majesty." He snapped.
"I can't believe I was stupid enough to believe that line." Regina muttered.
"I can't believe I didn't believe you two and I couldn't help you." Belle sighed, "And that dungeon was rather cold." She snapped at Regina.
"Okay, what is going on?" Ruby demanded.
"Is Mom okay?" Henry asked. "Are you okay, Killian?" He asked. "If something goes wrong could you disappear?"
The room fell silent. Everyone looked between Regina and Gold. Finally, Snow spoke, "This is you Mom and Killian," She said softly, "the two of them never fail, particularly when they're together."
"But what if," Henry sighed, "grandpa?" He looked at Gold. "Mom?"
Regina sighed and wrapped an arm around her son, "Let's not focus on that right now, for the moment, let's just try to keep tabs on them." She bit her lip, "Maybe we should consider trying to reopen the portal."
"And how exactly are we going to do that?" Gold snapped, "We don't have all of the ingredients. Or any of the crazy." He muttered the end quietly.

Emma paced until she was convinced she was alone in the jail cell. Reaching down she realized quickly, "My gun, the bastard took my gun. Motherfucking imp." She cried out. Sighing she chewed on her lip before realizing her hair was being held up by pins. Yanking one out, she dove towards the lock. "It's all about the tumblers." She whispered Neal's words and closed her eyes listening to the lock until she heard it click open. "Well, there's two things I can thank him for. Henry and superior lock picking skills."
Throwing the door open she dashed outside. "Now to find Killian." She looked around and darted down a tunnel. When she found herself outside the gates of the castle she groaned, "Well shit."
A moment later, Emma found herself standing in front of Rumplestiltskin in his estate, "Well, it seems you failed." He laughed maniacally.
"What? Seriously? You couldn't have done this when we were with Belle?" She snapped. "You couldn't have just poofed me where you wanted me earlier? And i want my gun back."
"You found her? You found Belle?" He asked.
"I found her before Regina found us and took Killian. I tried to get Belle out but a guard found us and you took my gun." She snapped. "Thanks so much for that."
"I have no idea what gun is. And I'm really not concerned with the pirate." He shrugged, "Where did you find her?"
"The east tower of Regina's castle. It's well guarded, but you shouldn't have a problem getting in though if you can just poof yourself there." Emma sighed, "Can you get me home?" She asked.
Rumple pretended to think for a moment, "No."
"What?"
"I'm sorry, but time travel is just not possible." He shrugged, "So what I'm going to do is write down where you found Belle." He jotted it down in front of him, "Now, who else did you run into?" He asked.
Emma sighed, "Um Red, Granny, Snow White, Prince James, Regina, King George, King Midas." She listed off. "Oh and of course Belle and Killian, but Killian has his own potion."
"I will handle them." Rumple wrote down the various names on the same paper. "Now, as for you, I'm afraid I can't have you altering the future anymore." He waved his hand and Emma let out a protesting shriek as she was once again moved into another room.
When she looked around, she was in a dark room filled with what she assumed were all magical objects that Gold kept carefully stored. "Fuck. I'm going to murder him when I get back to Storybrooke. I'm going to throttle the infuriating little man." She muttered.

"You're just not helping her, then?" David grabbed the lapels of his coat, "Seriously, Gold?"
Mary Margaret gently latched onto her husband's arm, "Let him go, David, he can't control what he's doing. He can only tell us about it now. At least we know Emma's safe."
"Wait, where is Killian?" Henry asked.
Killian sighed and leaned back, his face furrowing. "I'm afraid I'm about to be of no use to you all." He murmured.
"What?" Granny asked, "Why?"
"I'm drinking the potion."
"What?" Regina snapped.

Hook looked around the queen's chambers. He realized quickly that his only hope was that Swan had escaped with Belle. He was going nowhere fast. Reaching into his coat pocket, his hand closed around the vial from the Dark One. He promised his Swan that he would do that. Before Regina turned, Killian took the vial out and downed it. He stumbled forward, causing Regina to turn quickly.
"Hook?" She asked.
Hook shook his head, "What's going on?" He asked.
Regina looked at the vile, "What is that?"
Hook raised the vial and sniffed it, "Not rum, that's bloody for sure." He grimaced at the smell.
Snatching it from his hand, Regina brought it to her nose, "A memory potion. Who on earth gave you this and what prompted you to drink it?" Hook just shrugged, "Of course you don't know. Very well, I'll just waste my breath explaining what you should already know."

Emma paced around the room, "There has to be something here to get me home. Or at least get me out of this damn room." Throwing open a cabinet she tossed item after item aside. She had the distinct feeling that a bobby pin wouldn't work this time on the lock.
Her hand closed around something thin and long. Pulling it out, she analyzed it. "A magic wand? Really?" She muttered. "What I really need are ruby slippers because all I fucking want is to go home!" She screeched. "Do you hear me, Gold? I just want to go home!"
