Alice didn't know what was worse waking up alone the next morning or thinking over how awkward seeing both Robin and Targo will be once she left the room.

"Hey, sleepy head."

Alice didn't roll over at the sound of the voice nor did she move when the bed dipped beside her back. Not that Targo moved to touch her but the heat of her body so close in the chill was raising goosebumps along Alice's back where the blanket didn't cover in its tangled mess around her body.

"Al please." The copy of her archer pleads when she continued to face the wall instead of looking at her. Alice shrunk away when she felt the body beside her roll into her and not away from her like she wanted her to. She hated that her tortious body unlocked at the heat of her body pressed against her back clothes as she was while Alice was just wrapped in a sheet.

"Look Tower Girl I know you think I'm upset about what happened between you two last night and I will admit that yes I am jealous about it but I'm the one that pushed you to do it so it's my own fault I feel like this."

"What?" Robin wondered when Alice rolled around in the half circle of her arms to look at her "Oh, you thought I was her didn't you?" she let out a soft "Sorry to disappoint baby but your all mine again." at Alice's guilty node.

"The other one is out back hacking up some poor trees in 'sword training' or whatever it was she said this morning."

"On her own?" Alice asked her voice scratchy from the night before

"Humm I really got you going last night huh?" Robin murmured rather than answering her question as she leaned in to press a kiss against the exposed skin of Alice's shoulder letting her tongue run over some healing scratch marks. "A bit." The blushing blonde confessed knowing that under the sheet her body had more than a few love bites and other marks peppering her skin. From the look in her eyes, Robin knew as well but didn't say anything other than lean in to kiss Alice's lips in a greedy kiss.

A kiss that was cut too short or Alice's liking so early in the morning.

"And yes. Other me…."

"Targo," Alice says. "What it keeps the two of you straight to me. You're Nobin and she's Targo." She calcifies at Robin's groan at the name.

"I've never been happier to be called that."

"Told you Nobin will be cool someday." Robin rolled her eyes at that pressing another softer kiss to Alice's lips letting the blonde cuddle closer. "Yeah yeah Nobin's cool I guess anyway, Targo went out don't know where."

Alice felt that disconcerting pull tugging at her heart to go check on the other archer dispute the rest of her wanting to stay right where she was in her Robin's arms for a little while longer.

"What's wrong?" Of course, Robin noticed. Her Robin always seemed to know when she was upset. "Remember when Tilly used to have that buzzing in her head?"

"Yeah, it's a little hard to forget when it put a damper on our second first date." Robin tried to joke giving Alice's nose a soft kiss at the pout she was getting at the reminder. "but didn't you say that was just the pull of the dagger calling you?"

Alice nodded pressing her forehead against Robin's shoulder. "I'm not the guardian anymore but I can still hear it." She whimpered "Ever since last night but it's like I just realized that was what it was now I'm not distracted."

"Yeah you and me together is a pretty nice distraction." Robin agreed but Alice shook her head again propping herself up on her elbow to look at her better. "It's not that. It started long before that happened. Almost as soon as you tried to take Targo's heart from her." she says trying to think passed the growing thrum of pain in her head as if admitting it out loud

"How about we not think about that anymore for now and get you a nice hot shower, into some clean clothes and maybe stop off at Granny's for a bite then we can ask the Sheriff when he comes back tonight?"

Alice lets out an agreeing mew at the idea losing herself in the feel of Robin's fingers against her skin rather than the dull ache in her head.

No matter how much she tried to drown it out it was always there when she'd look up. Even when she'd smashed the mirror in yet another attempt to forget.

She needed to forget, to think about something anything other than how an Alice that wasn't hers had in the course of a night broken and awakened her all at once.

Not even the buzz in her head could drown it out. The guilt. The rage. The pain. But most of all the craving for more. Who was she kidding? She needed Alice. Being with her Tower Girl helped keep the darkness from destroying her all over again. Not that she'd ever get the chance after what she'd done. Or rather the who she's done.

God, there can't possibly be enough liquor in this bar to make her forget but hell she was going to try.

"Might want to slow down."

The comment was ignored in favor of grabbing the bottle of thankfully harder whiskey that Robin uncapped with one of her hunting knives rather than show her surprise at the sudden appearance. She was sure she'd disarmed the alarm and killed the cameras on her way in.

How the hell had he gotten in?

"Not like it can kill me." She grumbles downing half the bottle in one long drink only for her arm to be forced down onto the bar top the icy chill of the steel against her skin making Targo's unfocused eyes move up the arm to the concerned face of her companion as the half-full bottle is knocked from her grip falling to the floor instead. "I was drinking that."

"What happened to you?"

Robin rolls her eyes at the question twisting her trapped wrist, but the metal hook stayed where it was only to use his other hand to pin Robin's to the bar when she tries to use her free hand to grab another liquor bottle. "Seriously?" The one-handed man didn't say a word or act as if he'd heard her grumbled whine as he sat down at the bar without releasing his hold.

God she was too sober to deal with this, so she gives up and tells him. Maybe then he'll see why she needs to drink away her feelings like he used to.

"Normally I'd go find a bar fight to jump into but seeing as I can't use magic." She rolls up her sleeve showing off the leather cuff her mother made her put on before she'd been allowed out of the vault. "and even in Storybrooke the bars aren't open this early I had to settle for a bar raid than bar fight." When Hook didn't look convinced Robin kept going. "Yesterday I finally got revenge on the woman that destroyed my life worse than my mother ever could, I came to a parallel realm from the one I've known for a fresh start found out that the woman I love more than my own life maybe isn't dead and I celebrate that fact by jumping into bed with the version of her from this realm."

Hook tilted his head to the side at least interested in what she'd said just annoyingly not so inclined to give her back her drink choice, "After all this time apart you still love her?" was the only answer he can think of to say and had Robin had the use of both her hands she would have punched him. As it was, she couldn't even head butt him properly with the bar between them. "That's the stupidest question I heard in this realm so far. Of course, I still love her. Never stopped before and don't plan to stop."

"We still needed to check."

Robin rolled her eyes again with a defeated huff at the newcomer striding into the bar. Her usual and now signature red leather jacket replaced by a black hooded bomber style that seemed to have come from Robin's own wardrobe rather than from Hooks. "Sure, cause me declaring that I still love her will make everything better when she finds out what I did." Robin laughs while the savior and her pirate have one of those unspoken conversations that Robin wasn't really in the mood to witness but did end in the pirate tugging his hook out of the bar top giving Robin back the use of her shooting hand.

"You slipped up but at least it was still with at least a version of Alice." Hook says handing his wife the whiskey with a grin as she takes several long drinks it right out of the bottle like a pro. "Gah rum is better." She comments coughing a little had she hands the drink back to Robin before speaking again. "What he's saying is is that you messed up and messing up is part of being human. Everyone messes up now and then but at least you know that you screwed up otherwise why would you be here trying to drink away your feelings."

"Worked for him." Robin defends pointing with the whiskey bottle toward Hook, but Emma shakes her head holding out her hand.

The sigh of her name at her refusal to hand over her chosen drink had Robin's eyes closing involuntarily her mind covering up another woman with honey-colored hair instead of the one who's hand now closed around her wrist across the bar top. Although Robin had to admit she liked the sight behind her eyes of her Alice in that same black leather jacket muted blue shirt and mild blue jeans. "Please."

Robin relented at last hearing more than seeing Hook sliding behind the bar to help her when she swayed on her feet. "Let's get you cleaned up before we head to Granny's for a bite ay." He suggests sharing a look with his wife that Robin barely registered as she nodded in agreement.

(At the same time right outside the bar)

"This would be a lot easier if we called Emma to help." Zelena comments as they pull up along the curb. "I know but ever since they told Hope she was going to be a big sister they've been busy getting the house ready for baby number two." Regina says turning the car off and opening her door to get out.

"That I understand but still just four weeks along is just too early to spill the beans if you ask me." Zelena says leaning up against the back panel of the car as her sister rounds the back to step up onto the sidewalk beside her.

They'd just started toward the front door when it opened seemingly on its own ushering out an obviously intoxicated Targo Mills out into the world with a giggled "Thanks pirate jirk." To the air somehow managing to stay standing as the door swings closed behind her.

"Targo?"

"Sweetheart."

Robin looks up with a groan at the names with a muttered "Do I have to? Why can't I stay with you guys?" as the two witches approached as if she were a skittish animal.

Regina shook her head just ad puzzled as her sister at what she was talking about but guesses it was because of her current state of being pickled in a mix of cheap and expensive whiskey at the moment.

"Emma let me have it." Targo grins in pride showing off her new jacket that Regina and Zelena have to assume she'd most likely stolen before hitting the bar while the younger woman talked as if that was the reason her mom and aunt were looking at her like she'd grown a second head turning her unfocused eyes toward the empty space beside her as if the Savior was standing right beside her rather than across town playing mediator as her just turned two-year-old daughter and her husband argue over what color to paint the new babies' nursery.

"But I don't want to go with them." Robin whined still looking at air as she swayed again on the spot. "Shut up other pirate." She snapped this time looking toward her other side only for her face to crumple into a wounded puppy pout seconds later. "Sorry Hook." She mutters then turning to face the only other two around. "Can you take me home, please? I still need to get cleaned up before I meet them later at Granny's." Zelena instantly nodes her arm sliding around Targo's waist to support her when her legs threaten to buckle under her.

"Come on Monkey." Zelena whispers more than a little uneasy by the one eighty change in the copy of her daughter now nuzzling her head against the crook of her shoulder as she guides her back toward the car.

"I miss Alice." Targo sighs feeling tears sting in her eyes as she says the name as she glances one last time at the couple still standing guard beside the car.

Hook has his arm around Emma's waist her head resting against his shoulder as she watches Zelena buckling Robin into the back seat as if she's five again. "You'll see her again soon." the savior tells her her voice cracking as if she's about to cry as well as she leans even more against her husband's side.

"We'll be back to check on you soon okay lass?" Hook says making Robin's eyes slide to him instead.

"Promise?"

The pair node at the same time in quiet answer. "Mmmkay." Robin yawns pillowing her head against her own shoulder as the car pulls away.
