Screaming could be heard around the school so jay rushed to around looking for Jafar when a few kids ran out of a class room and two snakes were hissing and following the students until they left the classroom.
Pausing Jay was unsure if the snakes as they looked at him. For a second he thought they were going to come after him. Instead they stopped and slithered back into the classroom causing no harm. Walking into the room he saw Jafar in there flipping through books.
"What are you doing?"
"Research." Jafar turned and grinned. "And have some fun on the way."
"Why did you chase them out?" Jay asked standing next to him. "And what's this?"
"I chased them out because they thought they were going to pull some sort of childish prank on me as I was reading." Jafar grinned. "Look here. An old spell book similar to mine back in my own world."
"Why do you need a spell book?"
"To try and get back to my own world. I can just imagine what those idiots are doing with my stuff back home." Jafar looked at him. "You can help me."
"Sorry, I don't have magic." Jay raised his hands. "I only know how to play games and playing on the field."
"Did my counterpart have magic here?"
"Yeah, he used before the island."
"Then you should have some too." Jafar set the book down and held out his hand. "Give your hand and hold still."
Carefully Jay held out his hand as the other took it and stared at his palm. For a long moment it was quite until Jafar slowly waved his hand over Jay's hand and a heat overcame him before settling making Jay filling a little dizzy.
"You have magic. It's just untapped." Jafar moved his hand to cover Jay's hand. "Alright, close your eyes and concentrate."
Closing his eyes Jay started to try and pull the fire he felt and suddenly an overwhelming warmth came over him and settled in his heart causing him to gasp and open his eyes. When in the world did he sit down? Looking up he saw his father- er, Jafar kneeling in front of him grinning.
"There, your magic has awoken. Come on," Jafar helped him up. "Let's get you something to eat and drink and after that I'll teach you how to control your magic."
"Wicked." Jay grinned. "Oh, what about the snakes?"
"… They're around here somewhere."
"Darling, over here!"
Carlos skidded to stop and backed up seeing Cruella there in a room with all kinds of clothing and furs that made him stop and stare in amazement and she had things on a table. Walking over he saw some designs that reminded him so much of his own designs for his inventions except for clothes. Well, he would admit that he made his own clothes too.
"What are you doing?"
"Well, I was bored and I saw this room."
"It was empty?"
"Now it is, Darling." Cruella pulled out some black fur. "Feel this."
Reaching over Carlos felt it. "It's really soft."
"Yes. Here help me hold it still as I cut the pattern." She said before pausing. "Hold on, shouldn't you be in class?"
"Uh, we saw you four come into the school and got worried."
"Oh, do not worry so." Cruella smiled. "I was just making a dress is all."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Go on, Darling, go learn and then show me what you learned."
"Well… Carlos looked back at the design. "I can help with your fur and then go back."
"Oh how lovely,"
Carlos smiled and sat next to her and soon was lost in drawings.
Maleficent was enjoying a very perfect piece of cake and perfect drink when she saw Mal running around looking for something. Taking a drink she watched for a few minutes before summoning a chair across from her before standing up.
"Mal,"
Jumping Mal turned to look at her.
"Have a seat and join me for a snack."
"What do you think your doing?" Mla said rushing over sitting down. "Why are all you so young and running around the school?"
"We're bored and since this isn't our world what else can we do? Sit at home or sit at a café all day until who kows when?" Maleficent smiled. "Besides it's no fun without your kids."
"Promise me you won't do anything bad."
"But I'm a Queen of Darkness." Maleficent gasp. 'You might as well ask me to stop breathing."
"Please don't do anything. We don't need trouble starting up. Please, just don't do anything that will get us in trouble."
"Look if it makes you feel better I'm going to just sit here and enjoy this cake. The others I can't speak for but I won't do anything to anyone unless they do something to me."
"Just don't do anything please. I need to go see Ben, I'll be back."
Nodding Maleficent went back to eating her cake when some girls and was soon joined by Cruella who was sorting a new coat. She sat down summon some things for herself and soon after Jafar found them an hour later and summoned some rare things to eat.
"Where is Regina?" Jafar asked looking around. "Not like her to miss out on lunch."
"She's probably still chasing down the boy who insulted little Evie." Cruella said fluffing up the coat fur a little. "She's always had a love for her children so it's none too surprising."
"Agreed." Maleficent nodded. "This drink is perfect. I better to make sure to know what's in it when I get home."
"I can't leave." Jafar said going through a phone he had taken from someone. "I told Jay I was teach him how to control his magic."
"I'm not leaving either, darlings." Cruella nodded. "I finally have my happy ending why would I leave?"
"Are you two insane?" Maleficent glared at them in disbelief. "This isn't our world."
"Oh come now, the children love us." Cruellla summoned her dogs and was petting one of them. "I think it's clear that these versions of ourselves didn't even care about their children. All Carlos did was have nightmares but did he tell me about them? No! He's afraid to tell me and he flinches every time I try to touch him."
"Same with, Jay."
"And Mal." Maleficent took another drink. "It seems there's no such thing as love for their own children nor do they even care what happens to them."
The other two agreed and before they could continue Regina appeared and summoned a chair for herself and took a seat look aggravated. She summoned a few things for herself.
"What happened to you?"
"I lost the little brat and Evie asked me not to kill him." Regnina said bitterly. "What are you three up too?"
"Nothing much." Maleficent sat back. "I admit this is kinda of peaceful. Reminds of when we were actually this age."
"That was a long time ago." Jafar said before sensing something. "Here comes… I need to go."
"What's wrong?" Regina asked.
"Jay's magic is unstable."
Meanwhile Jay was having trouble as little sparks kept escaping his fingers and he had trouble controlling them. His hands hurt as well and he had tried to stop the sparks and that ended with him setting his Turerny club on fire which was hard to put out because he kep setting it back on fire somehow.
With shaking hands Jay was feeling the fear bubbling up and ready to burst. What if he hurt someone? What if one of his friends got to close and he zapped them or set them on fire? This power could kill and Jay was regretting it.
"Jay!"
Jumping Jay saw his father rushing towards him. "Stay back! I'll hurt you!"
"No, you won't." Jafar approached him carefully. "Give me your hands. I'll put a block on you so you can learn at a slow pace."
Slowly Jay let him back his hands and felt magic rush through him and the magic settled. Relaxing Jay grinned.
"Thanks."
"Come on, let's go."
"Go where?"
"I need to teach you how to control it unless you want it to harm your friend."
"You… would teach me…?"
"Of course." Jafar turned back into his adult self. "Come with me. We'll start now."
"Awesome." Jay trailed after him and wondered if this was what it felt like to have a father who cared.
A portal was opening and a search party was looking for Storybrook's missing villains.
