Hello everyone, sorry for the wait. My summer has been crazy with work and awesome! Here you are!


Avery stared for a minute, wondering if letting Regina drop Emma was the right thing to do. Then Emma appeared floating on the broken bridge. Avery was impressed, Regina looked annoyed.

"I was just thinking of fixing the bridge." Regina said, not hiding the feelings that Avery Read on her face.

"I saved my own life, isn't that the point?" Emma said Confused at Regina's attitude.

"Its not how you did it." Regina said. "Its that you have all this power and you are wasting it."

"Come on, let's go see Henry. Plus I'm starving." Avery said.

''When aren't you hungry Preggers?" Regina laughed.

They magicked back to town and Emma called Henry to see where he was at. All three went to Snow and Charming's apartment. Regina looked nervous, and Avery understand why, She had heard about the awkward 'introduction' the two had. Regina took a deep breath before they entered the apartment.

"Hey Mom and Aunt Avery." Henry called then saw Regina standing there. "Oh, and hello Madame Mayor. "

"Hey kid, how was your day?" Emma asked.

"Sheriff Nolan taught me how to drive." He said happily. "WHAT?! "all three women Said in unison." What were you thinking?" Regina started on David. "He could have been hurt or killed." She sounded like Henry's mother then she caught herself. "And as the mayor, I can't let under aged, unlicensed drivers run amuck in my town."

"How did you do?" Avery asked. Emma and Regina both turned to stare at her. "What? He's already done it, we can't change that." She shrugged.

"I hit a mailbox." He said sheepishly.

"Did you put a big dent in David's car?" Avery asked.

"Kind of." Henry looked apologetic.

"Serves him right. He's the sheriff and he should know better." Avery said. Henry went to go get his Stuff when David asked,

"Avery, do you think you could fix that dent?"

"No. I meant what I said. Serves you right. You should also see to it that the mailbox gets fixed sheriff. "Avery said. She said her goodbyes and left. One the way to find Archie, Avery got a call from Belle.

"Avery… umm… Can you some to the shop now?"

"I'm looking for Archie right now." Avery told her.

"I have him with me. "Belle Paused and Avery was sure something was wrong now.

"Belle …" Avery asked uncertain.

"What do you know about time travel?" Belle asked shyly.

"That it hasn't been done …" Avery was conserved now.

"Well… "

"Coming. "Avery said and magicked to the shop. "What is going on?"

"I think I figured out Zelena's plan. It has all the ingredients except babies." Belle said.

"But, none of the past attempts have worked.'' Avery said.

"Yes, that is where we think your father and the babies. " Archie said.

"What do you think she needs to go into the past for?" Belle asked.

"I don't know… hold on." Avery said, she picked up her phone and called Regina.

"Avery… what is wrong?" Regina asked.

"Zelena wants to travel back in time… we maybe need to find out why and worst case Scenario… when." Avery told her.

"Time travel isn't possible." Regina said.

"Yes, like crossing realms." Belle fail a little too loudly. "I'm going to go tell Emma.'' And she left.

"Fair enough." Regina responded. "Do you think you can get Snow and Charming to my house?"

"Yes. " Avery said.

"And I need the candle. I assume you know which one."

"Oh. Yes. I do." She understood. Avery turned to Archie.

"Yes?" he said.

"I have to do a séance with a very dead, very powerful witch." She sighed.

"As long at you eat something, I'm okay." Archie smiled, kissing her forehead. Avery grabbed the candle and culled Charming, Snow and Emma. She told them to meet her at Regina's. Avery stopped by Granny's and plucked up French fries and a banana shake. She arrived at Regina's in the middle of an interesting conversation.

"Avery. Tell David that Leopold is a wonderful name." Snow said.

"Your father actually was not a fan of his name either in his youth. He only came to accept it after he became King. That was only because he knew there was no more running from it." She told Snow. Avery opened the lid of her shake and plunged three fries in it and ate them.

"That isn't a normal way to eat those, is it?" Hook asked.

"Hook, love. One it's delirious and two, if Regina's idea works well… your night is about to get a whole lot weirder." Avery ate another handful of shake dipped fries.

"She's right." Regina said placing some necessities on the table. "Did you bring it?"

"What are we doing?" Emma asked.

"We are going to try to contact my mother." Regina responded.

"I didn't know you could contact the dead." David said.

"The process is easy. The ingredients are hard to get'' Regina told him. "You kneed the murder weapon." She held out her hand, and Avery passed the candle. "And the Murder present." She turned to Snow. Charming looked defensive.

"Don't worry Charming, she just needs to be here." Avery assured him.

"Everyone hold hands." Regina instructed. Avery sat between Charming and Hook. She held Charming's hand then noticed she was on Hook's name sake side.

"Em… switch me sides." She said.

"Deal with the Hook." Was Emma's response.

"Loves, no need to fight over me good hand, I know how to use my hook." The pirate winked.

"No thanks." Avery said.

"I'm out." Emma said.

"If you two are finished. We need to focus." Regina sighed.

"What exactly do us non-magic willing people do?" Hook asked.

"Just focus on Cora." Regina said. Everyone held hands and closed their eyes. Nothing happened at first I but Avery knew better. All at once a vortex opened pink the ceiling. "Keep focusing. "Regina told then and looked towards the vortex. "Mother?" Regina asked but there was no answer. "Cora! Speak to us! We need to know why you gave Zelena up." Still nothing happened. Regina still kept begging the vortex. Then as quick as it came, the vortex collapsed in upon itself.

"Do we try again?" Snow asked. Avery saw the mix of hurt and disappointment on Regina's face. Even from beyond the grave Cora knew hereto make her daughter feel inadequate.

"No." Regina said sadly. "Whatever secrets my mother has, she doesn't want to tell." Then the turned to Avery. "You knew my mother longer, and probably better, than I did. Do you know why my mother would give up one of her children?"

"Regina." Avery sighed. "When I met your mother, it was at your naming ceremony. I'm sorry." Regina's face notably fell. "Although." Avery said, thinking "Eva and Cora seemed to have history when I met them. Maybe there was something I missed at the time."

"How can we know that?" Emma asked.

"My Evil Queen, might you have a spare mirror?" Avery chuckled. "Preferably one large enough for everyone to sea?"

"I think I may." Regina laughed a bit. She waved her hand a full length mirror appeared."what are you going to do?" She asked.

"Look through my memories, to see if I missed something.'' Avery told them. She put her hand on the glass and tried to remember the night Eva and her met. She couldn't clearly enough but the magic showed another memory, Regina's tenth birthday.

Eva and Avery were sitting in a carriage.

"Eva, I'm not entirely sure this is a good idea."

"And why not Averianna?" Eva sighed, not really caring.

"Let's start with we don't have an invitation. We don't need a slight between the families, and Cora does not like us." Avery's past self said.

"My betrothed is there, the Prince and his sweet further love me, and if the Millis daughter slights me well." Eva giggled, "I'll have her head. Problems would be solved then."

"Leopold is there… that is your defense. You two have been engaged since you two were born and in ten years I've been your advisor this is the third time I will see him." Avery pointed out.

"I wanted to be Queen before I marry. And now that I am I will marry him within the year." Eva said. "And I bring gifts for the sweet girl. Sadly not a new mother though."

"Fine… fine. Although anew mother wouldn't help her." Avery muttered.

"I have faith in her. I know your father wants her for a reason, but I have faith that Regina will have a good enough heart to resist."

"You may have too much faith my friend." Avery sighed.

"Nonsense. I am giving the girl a wonderful gift. A passion that I have been told is building within her already, to her mother's horror." Eva Smiled at the carriage stopped at their destination, "My gift will be Regina's Savior. Something to escape the woman who would set her own children to be Queen. Or at least she thought she would be. My kingdom world suffer under her heartlessness.'' Go stepped out of the Carriage and under an awaiting parasol. "Thank you Johanna my dear."

"Lady Averianna, may I get you one?" Johanna asked.

"I'm fine. Thank you." Avery smiled. They. Entered the ball and they were announced and the crowd parted and bowed. Eva and Averianna walked to the front. Cora was angry, Prince Henry seemed both delighted and humbled.

"My Queen." He went to kneel.

"None of that Henry." Eva smiled and hugged him. "This must be the birthday girl. Hello Regina"

"Your Grace. It is an honor to have you at my birthday." Regina curtsied gracefully.

"I have your gift." Eva smiled. Servants walked in with a beautiful young colt. "He is beautiful." The girl gasped.

"Sadly. We have no one to care for this animal." Cora said, with no hint of sadness whatsoever.

"Worry not." Eva smiled to Regina, who face fell at her mother's words. "I have brought you a stable boy. And he will be paid from mine own purse, as not to plight you Cora." A smirk crept on the Queen's face. "Although, such a strange plight for a woman who can turn straw into gold." Cora looked as though she could spit fire. The stable boy stopped forward and bowed. "I am Daniel" He said respectfully.

"I will name him Rocinante." Young Regina reached out and touched the horse. Then the memory stopped

"See what I meant about history?" Present Avery said.

"I never knew my mother to be spiteful. "Snow said shocked.

"She wasn't, only to Cora was she that way. I never understood why." Avery said.

"Well we did find out one important thing." Regina said.

"What?" Charming asked.

"Eva knew about Zelena." Hook Said.

"she said 'sold her children'" Regina said shocked.

"Did everyone around me know about Zelena but me?" Avery said upset.

"Eva had hope for me." Regina whispered softly and sadly I and she got up and left the room.
