"So, what exactly is your plan?"
"I don't actually know the answer to that either. I was practically summoned here to just help out and find a solution to this problem that Tremaine seems to have caused. It's all a bit messed up really"
Lucy gave Robin a confused look, but she was still overjoyed that there was finally a ounce of hope out there for her parents.
"Look, I don't know how all of this is going to work out for your family, but from what I've heard β I really want to help you sort out all of this and I promise I'm going to try as hard as I can to help out", Robin smiled.
Lucy didn't take long to smile back. "Thank you. Thank you so much!"

"What is this? What the hell do you want from her?". Zelena's tone had changed from a suspicious one to an anxious one.
The woman in front of her smiled. "Well, you see Zelena β in a few years time I'm planning on casting a little curse not far from here and I can promise you that it's going to be extraordinarily fun, but the problem is, I believe that there's a small chance that your daughter may possibly end up getting in the way with all of itβ¦ and we don't want that do we?"
She shuddered slightly. "How would she get in the way exactly? And what even is this curse?"
"Oh, my curse shouldn't concern you, it's really not going to be that effective. As for your daughter though, there are certain conditions that must be met in order to keep the curse, and she has a very high chance of being able to disrupt my system. So, in order to fix that.."
The woman once again gave a familiar, threatening stare. "I need her to be gone."
"Are you threatening me?", Zelena responded
"Yes, yes I suppose I am.", she smiled coldly. "Now, I'm going to return to this petty little town tomorrow and I expect your daughter to be long gone before the sun sets. And if she isn't, then I suppose I'll have to get rid of her myself."
"Wait!", Zelena shouted just before she disappeared.
"Oh dear, what is it now?", the woman sighed.
"Why her? Why my daughter? What could she do to break the curse?"
"Oh, you don't even know yourself do you? Your daughter is a lot more powerful than you think, Zelena. I can assure you of that."
She laughed before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

"Oh my god, I've just had the best idea ever!" Lucy shouted. Robin and her were walking down the street, presumably to Roni's but they'd practically lost track of their destination from talking.
"What is it?", Robin asked confusedly.
"Well, if it's true that you came here from outside of Seattle then there must be a way for you to escape and go to Storybrooke, right? You could get someone from there over to break the curse. Someone who loves someone else who's cursed here."
"Uhh, nice idea but I'm pretty certain Tremaine made sure that couldn't happen either. My journey here alone wasn't exactly a piece of cake and I highly doubt someone from Storybrooke would be able to enter without losing their memories or turning into a tree or β something"
Lucy got more and more frustrated. "But now what are we supposed to do?! I mean.. why were you 'sent here' if you didn't know how to help?"
"It's not that, it's..", Robin suddenly became more irate because she knew she had to explain more. "According to my mother, it was predicted a few years ago by Lady Tremaine herself that I would have some way of breaking the curse. I'm not sure how or why it would be me, but I know for a fact that I am supposed to have some way of doing it."
Lucy looked confusedly, because she wasn't paying full attention until she mentioned Tremaine's name. She was too busy thinking of more ways to get rid of the curse. But suddenly, she had an idea.
"THAT'S IT!" she shouted, way too loudly to Robin.
"What, what is it?" she responded.
"It's Regina! You need to remind her of Robin Hood in order to break the curse!"
"Robin Hood? As in my father? Why would I need to remind her of him?", Robin responded.
This was when it suddenly clicked in Lucy's head. "You don't even know yourself, do you? Wow, did the wicked witch tell you anything about how you were born?"

"I'm sorry but, she said what?", Snow asked. Zelena had managed to call everyone to 'urgently' see her at her house after she heard the news. She needed help with this now that she had no magic to protect herself, and this complex family was probably her best bet.
"She said that Robin has a chance of breaking some curse that's going to happen in the future somewhere and that she has to be 'gone' by tomorrow.."
Everyone looked in worry. "But, what curse is this supposed to be? We already got our happy endings so there's no way that there's meant to be another curse.", David spoke up.
"Well, from the way that she said it, it doesn't sound like it's going to be in Storybrooke nor with anyone else from here. I just don't understand why my daughter has anything to do with this."
They all fell silent in pity for a second, trying to think about the entire situation.
"Wait.", everyone turned to Hook when he spoke. "You don't think there's any way that your daughter could possibly use magic do you?"
"How the hell am I able to know that?", she responded.
"Actually, Hook has a point. Regina, do you think that could be possible?", David asked.
Regina looked bothered by his question. "I don't know but considering the fact that Zelena is her mother and that her pregnancy wasn't exactly natural, there is a possibility."
"Does this really matter? We need to figure out how to keep Robin safe as quickly as possible and you aren't exactly helping!", Zelena shouted.
Everyone fell silent for a second.
"Hang on.. I have an idea.."
[A/N: Christ these chapters are getting long .-. , anyway. I'm going to write one more chapter before publishing this so I don't leave you guys on too much of a cliffhanger.
Also, I'm sorry if i'm making any mistakes in my maths and timings or anything! I'm trying my best but it's quite difficult to build around the whole 'a few years later' thing that A&E are doing. From what I've given so far, you can presume that the Hyperion Heights curse happened about 6 years after Robin's death and about 4-5 years after Henry leaves home (probably making Henry quite young but yknow it's very difficult to tell atm).
anyway, continue?]
