AN: Thank you so much to GranddaughterOfCaskettAndTivia for all her hard work on this. And thank you to everyone who has been supporting this story, particularly when we're having kind of a downer season! ~ XOXO MAS

But when she gave you more to find

Henry sighed and took a long sip of the cocoa Killian made for him. "Thank you. And thank you for finding me."

Patting his hand lightly, Killian nodded. "Of course, lad. I'll always find you," he promised.

Henry beamed at him. "Thank you. And that's what we always say. We always find each other." He paused. "I want to see my moms. I'm ready to go home. How do we get home? Even if we get everyone out of Misthaven, how do we get everyone back to Storybrooke?"

Killian took a sip of his milk and contemplated Henry's question. "Well, you said that some author sent us all here?" He asked.

Henry nodded. "Yeah, with Rumpelstiltskin. In Storybrooke he's known as Mr. Gold."

"Here he's Dr. Gold," Killian growled. "Okay, so if anyone is going to know how to get us back it would be Gold and this author."

"So we need to talk to Gold," Henry surmised.

"He's not just going to talk to us, lad. If we want to talk to Gold, we're going to have to make him." Killian sighed. "Which is easier said than done."

"What if we find the Author instead?" Henry suggested. "I mean, he's working with Gold, or at least he was back home."

"But we have no idea where he is. He's not hanging around the institution. We have enough eyes inside now to know when Gold is coming and going."

Henry sighed, "Fine, but there's got to be something we can do."

"Well, you and I are staying here because I am not letting you near Gold or anyone associated with him. And I'm not leaving you alone again," Killian told the boy seriously. "So, we're going to stay here and try to come up with a plan. Robin will work with your mothers, Astrid and Leroy."

Scowling, Henry argued, "But I can help and-"

"You were kidnapped yesterday and held hostage on a bloody ship. You don't honestly believe I'm going to give you the free reign you had before, do you?" When Henry opened his mouth to interrupt, Killian kept talking. "We're sticking together until we sort this entire mess out, then we can talk about you having more autonomy," he bargained.

Henry didn't seem too pleased with this, but reluctantly nodded. "Fine. Let's come up with a plan, then," he grumbled.

Emma paced Robin's office in circles. "He's okay, though?"

Robin sighed. "Yes, Emma, he's fine. Barely even rattled by the situation."

"Yeah, well Blackbeard is hardly the scariest threat any of us have faced. I'm fairly certain Pan still holds that card." She sighed and dropped to the nearest chair, which happened to be the one behind his desk. "I'm just so ready for all of this to be over. He's too young for all of this. My life wasn't easy. My time in the system was hard and living on the streets, jumping from home to home, having Henry in prison and having to give him up. Always being abandoned and alone and fighting for everything." She dropped her head to her hands. "I gave him up so he wouldn't go through what I went through. And then he was all alone anyhow. And all he's done is feel abandoned and have to fight to survive and we call that heroic sacrifice and dress it up with flowery language and elaborate stories that promise happy endings. None of us have gotten our happy endings. All we've done is fight for everything. And gotten nothing in return." She sighed desolately, slumping back into the chair.

When Emma talked like this, Robin understood how Killian fell for Emma, how he believed her story. She was so broken, but very real. "Emma." Robin knelt down by her feet, taking her tiny hands in his. "Life is, sadly, very hard. You have to fight for what you want. And sometimes that fight takes a hell of a long time." He squeezed her hand gently. "I can promise you this, though, everything happens for a reason and if you just keep fighting for it, you'll get your happy ending."

Emma scoffed. "That's what Killian has said, but I just don't know how I can believe that anymore. Being stuck in here makes everything feel so hopeless. I'm not sure I believe in happy endings anymore." She gave his hands a gentle squeeze. "Thanks for the pep talk though, it was a good one." She sighed when there was a knock at the door that indicated her session was over. Biting her lip, she paused at the door. "If there's a chance I can see them, please." She sighed. "I'd really like to. I miss them."

Robin pulled her into a brief hug. "I'll see what we can do. I know both you and Regina could use the boost." He pressed a brush of a kiss to her temple. "Be safe, Emma." He opened the door to find Leroy patiently waiting for them to emerge. "Take care of her," he told the orderly softly.

Leroy gently took Emma's arm. "Always. How are Killian and Henry holding up?"

"Plotting at Killian's house," Robin informed them. "To get answers from Gold."

Emma frowned. "I don't think that's worth it. He's not going to spill anything," she commented slowly. "I think it would be more worthwhile to search his home. He has magic, there must be something in his home." At their skeptical looks, she sighed. "Let Henry tell you about it. He'll know what I mean." Looking back at Leroy, Emma sighed. "Well, I guess we have to go back down there."

Leroy nodded. "Yeah, sorry sister." He gave Robin one last nod before turning to lead Emma towards the elevators to take her back to solitary.

Robin watched them leave, his heart feeling particularly heavy at Emma's earlier words. Pulling his cell phone out of his pocket, Robin shut his office door and pulled up Killian's contact information.

"Dr. Jones."

"Hey Killian, it's Robin."

"How's it going today?"

"It's okay, how's Henry holding up?" Robin asked.

"Aggravated that he's being kept here. How was Emma?"

Robin sighed and scraped his hand over his face. "Sad. It's almost like she's having to fight the urge to just give up on everything," he admitted. "She did have one good suggestion though."

It was Killian's turn to let out a deep sigh. "Maybe we can get Henry in to see her. That may lift her spirits. Anyhow, what was her suggestion?"

"Forget about talking to Gold. Break into his house. We'll lure Belle out of their home and you and Henry can get inside and see what you can dig up."

"It's brilliant," Killian muttered. "We'll get on it. Use Astrid. She and Belle will hit it off and stay out long enough for us to do a thorough search. In the meantime, we'll rack our brains to figure out how to get Henry and Emma together."

"One step ahead of you," Robin replied. "I have an idea, bring him here at 10 PM."

"We'll be there," Killian agreed.

"This is so creepy," Henry murmured. "Gold's really keeping Mom down here?"

Killian draped his arm over Henry's shoulders. "I wish you didn't have to see this, but yes. Your mum is a threat to him, this is the most secure place. Assuming that all the nurses and orderlies and security guards are loyal to him, the patients down here will be invisible. It's like they don't exist." He grinned down at Henry. "Luckily for us, we have friends who are nurses and orderlies and security guards. So all we have to do is distract the special guard Gold put on your mum who is not a friend of ours."

"Who's the guard?" Henry asked.

Killian grimaced. "Her name is Lily."
