Chapter 12

"All I ask in one day without someone trying to kill anyone." She tells Emma entering the hospital as her sister stares at her sister. "What?"

"You got something on your neck." She says with a pointed look and a raised eyebrow she look for the closer mirror as she curses, the damn pirate left hickeys on her skin. Her perfect light skin was purple. "Should I ask?"

"Not now." She tells her sister looking at her scarf taking from her neck before she could even protest and pulling around her own neck. "So I got some information."

"How the hell did you managed to get information." Her sister says shocked and a bit frustrated and them stares at her cover neck and to a room (probably the one where Hook is). "You gotta be kidding me." It looks like the shocked turned into annoyance. "Hook."

"First it is not what you think." Emma just raised her eyebrow. "I didn't sleep with him. And you want the information or not?"

"Yes."

"He came with Cora who is looking for Regina. God knows what she plans to do with her. And with everyone blaming her for Doctor Hopper not-so-death death, I think things are about to get complicated."

"Do you think you can get more from him?"

"I can try."

OUAT

"Where's Cora?" She asks Hook as soon he's eyes open. She could see his fail attempts to get up. He is handcuffed to the bed so there is no way he will get out on her watch.

"Again? You and your sister are really into this, aren't you?" He says with a grin as she approaches him.

"I don't know about Emma but I do like a man handcuffed to a bed." She says with her face inches from his as he attempts to move again (and close the distance between them) tugging at his handcuff in the process and hurting himself. "Damn, that hurts."

"You cracked a few ribs and the point of being handcuff is having the power taken away from you. Now. Where's Cora?"

"You look good, I must say, all "Where's Cora?" in a commanding sultry voice. Chills. And other things."

"You have all sorts of sore places. I can make you hurt." She says pressing his ribs clearly hurting him but not as much she would like.

"You really are into this." He says as she rolls her eyes and she pulls her hand back making him relax and sigh. "I've no idea where Cora is, she has her own agenda. Let's talk about something I am interested in, my hook. May I have it back? Or is there another...attachment you'd prefer." Seriously does he stop? Ever?

"You're pretty chipper for a guy who just failed to kill his enemy, then got hit by a car."

"Well, my ribs may be broken, but everything else is still intact, which is more than can be said for all the other bad days I've had. Plus I did some quality damage to my foe."

"You hurt Belle." She is actually angry because she likes the nice girl. She encourages protective beehive on others.

"I hurt his heart. Belle is just where he keeps it. He killed my love. I know the feeling." She can't stop but nodding in understanding what he meant.

"So do I, however you failed." She says and then lowers the tone on her voice. "He's on his feet, immortal, has magic, and you've hurt his girl. If I had to pick dead guy of the year, I'd pick you."

"Did you ever avenge the death of the man you loved?" He asked as he saw the torment look on her eyes for a second but soon she put back on her mask and left the room.

OUAT

"We gotta get into his phone. Let me guess another pass code."

"You can't guess! There are a million possible combinations."

"Ten thousand." Helena says entering the room where Emma, Mary Margaret, Ruby, David and Leroy are arguing about a cell phone. She noticed Mary Margaret and David looked surprise to see her and wanted to ask her something but they didn't said anything.

"Ten thousand!"

"Leroy, can you get it open or something? Hack it?"

"Well, you do understand that computer hacking and pickax hacking are different." Leroy then turns to Helena.

"Don't look at me, hacking was never really my thing." It was truth I was more the punching and seducing my way into information.

"Here, let me try." Emma says and them explains to everyone. "I have a thing. And we do know something. There was stuff in his car. Rental agreement, maps, receipts. His name's Greg Mendell. Now, let's see. Pictures of him alone at a bunch of Eastern Seaboard tourist locations, a LinkedIn account, and he tweets pictures of his food. I'll keep looking, but I think what we have here is just a well-documented, real-life, ordinary Joe. Or Greg."

"So, whatever's kept random people from stumbling into Storybrooke for the last 28 years is..."

"It's gone." Mary Margaret finished Ruby thought as they both shared the concern.

"Anyone can drive in. Why are my instincts telling my that's a bad thing?"

"Because you've seen E.T. or Splash or any other movies where they find something magical and study it to death! Think what they'd do to a werewolf."

"Leroy he's right." I tell them as they now stare at me. "I worked intelligence before, believe a town suddenly appearing on their radar, you can expect someone to appear very soon."

"What do we do?" David asks everyone.

"Can you put a word with the big boss?" Emma asked her sister as everyone stared at her question looks.

"I don't know. I think it may be worst if he finds out. Lucky he was enough on his plate right now. Let hope it keeps him occupied." Thank you Norse Gods who appear in the middle of the desert and billionaires with high technology toys. "But I can pull a few calls. Keeping the city on low profile. But no more people entering would be a preference."

"His friends and family, they're gonna come looking for him soon." Mary Margaret says with even more worry in her voice.

"Let's try not to overreact."

"Emma. We don't need outsiders here." I tell her. "Hook says he doesn't know where Cora is, and God knows what she's gonna do. With other people coming here, that's not gonna be good for anyone."

"We need to find Regina, tell her we know she was framed."

"I've been tracking her, but no luck. She's gone underground." I informed them as they just keep staring at me.

"But what if Cora finds her first?! I don't wanna think about the damage those two could do together. This could not have come at a worse time!"

"It's okay. The guy's being patched up right now. He'll probably be on his way home by morning."

"Not quite." Doctor Whale says entering the room. "He's bleeding into his chest cavity. It's not a full flood, you know. But pretty soon he'll be drowning in his own blood."

"So make it stop. Aren't you a doctor?" Mr. Gold enters the room and Dr. Whale approaches him.

"Gold. You fixed me. Now fix him. Please. It will take you seconds and cost you nothing."

"No."

"No. Just... no?"

"Yes. I owe you nothing, Whale. I owe none of you anything. And some of you owe me. So yeah, just "No." Oh, and point of interest? The driver? He saw me throwing some magic. So instead of trying to get him outta here, you better be hoping he dies, because if he doesn't, he's gonna be driving tour buses up and down Main Street. So glad I don't give a damn."

"Look. Letting him die is easy. I can do that. If that's what you decide."

"Let's take this somewhere private." I tell them looking around the room. We turned out to enter the supply room and speaking with lower tones.

"It's not really murder if we let him succumb to his injuries."

"Pretty sure it is."

"Of course we save him."

"Obviously." God this family is so made of good guys.

"Well..."

"Leroy." Mary Margaret almost reprehends him and suddenly Helena is happy she wasn't the one to voice her opinion.

"We gotta think it through. We save him and kill the whole town. Is that really better?"

"So we have to choose between our lives and his?" Ruby speaks and Helena nods agreeing with her however Emma was the only one to noticed and knew she needed to have a conversation with her sister after this one.

"We can worry about the town later."

"Which doesn't mean we should abandon him."

"I know, but let's worry about Storybrooke after we've saved a life. Dr. Whale, prep for surgery."

"I'm gonna get some air." Helena says following Whale.

"You don't agree with them."

"No, but your drunk of your ass. If the patient is going to die it's not because the alcohol on your blood."

"Don't worry about it. How's the leg?"

"Much better, if Emma comes looking for me, I'm outside by the river."

OUAT

"Whale it's Frankenstein's Doctor." Emma says approaching her sister by the river. Of course she would be here. The sea always calmed Helena. And yes Emma could see the irony on that. Her sister probably not so much.

Emma was expecting her sister to act different since the return but it's the same calm level, cold, stoic mask. Her typical armor against the world. However Emma was worry about her.

"Really? He exists too?" Emma sits next to her sister seeing her playing with a sharp knife on her hand.

"You're not actually stabbing him to death?"

"I could do it you know." Emma turned to her sister. She looks like she's talking about making breakfast or dinner, a normal daily thing, not murder that scare Emma. A lot. "I could do it quickly, he wouldn't even suffer."

"We are not killing him. You aren't killing him."

"Do you think Regina can change?" Emma blinked at the question not understanding the change on her sister.

"I want to hope that she can change. She's Henry's mother after all."

"She loves the kid, unconditionally. It's a type of love that changes people."

"Have you thought about talking to Archie?"

"I can't talk about that with him Emma. It's classified." She says the last part with a dark smile.

"You need to talk to someone." She says as her phone starts to buzz.

"Go they need you."

"You know Mary Margaret and David are worry about you. You haven't talk to them."

"I will deal with it later." She saw her sister leaving as she answer the phone call. "Did you find him?"

"Yes, he's in a evil corporate meeting around the Hamptons. Why don't we have meeting like that?"

"So he has company."

"I don't think SHIELD or even INTERPOL would matter if they turned up death since they are after them. Fury gave the green light."

"I will meet you tomorrow."

OUAT

"My son. It has to be today, because every minute I'm here, is a minute closer to me killing Hook. So it's really best for all concerned if I leave, and you're going to come with me. Oh, and, um, we have a long history. So know this, and know it to be true. If any harm comes to Belle while I'm gone, I'm killing all of you. I'll see you at noon."

So Emma was leaving with Gold. That might not be a bad idea.

"Do you think I can crash the party?" She asked Emma as they walked away from the hospital.

"You wanna go to New York?"

"You're right, I should talk to someone. Someone who knows me that I can talk to them. We can meet in New York."

"That sounds good." Emma said with a smile as Helena hides the pain that she felt for manipulating her own sister.

A.N. Please don't hate me for having Helena manipulate Emma, in fact she is probably going to do that I couple of time in the next chapters. So who is she meeting? Clint, Natasha, Phil or Ward? I plan to make the next two chapters about Helena so it won't be any Storybrooke character in it. However very special SHIELD guest are making an appearance.
