This chapter is for AlphaLuna87 with the prompt: "Either Emma, Regina or maybe both? lose a key sense (i.e. Their hearing or sight) and the other has to help them through it."

"What are you doing?" Emma asked, walking into Regina's crypt.

"Experimenting," Regina replied, completely distracted by the potion in front of her. "I'm trying to figure out exactly how tied that the Evil Queen and I are."

"I think we already established that it was pretty direct," Emma said. "Like Jekyll and Hyde."

"I know," Regina said. "But this is a different kind of test."

"I don't like the sound of that," Emma said. "What exactly are you planning to do with whatever it is that you're making?"

"I'm going to get rid of my sight and see if it does the same to the Evil Queen," Regina said. "If she can't see, it will be much harder to ruin our lives."

"But what about you?" Emma asked. "You won't be able to see at all."

"That's why I have you," Regina said. "I doubt that the Evil Queen has anyone helping her with her sight."

"So what, we render you blind until she's gone?" Emma asked.

Regina shrugged. "Unless it doesn't work on us both. In which case, we would give me my sight back and move on like nothing happened."

"This seems too risky," Emma said. "I don't like it."

"I figured that you wouldn't," Regina said, smiling. "But I have to do this. If I can catch her off guard, we could have an even better chance at taking her down. She's used to always being in control, but without your sight, you can't be in control of anything."

"You're crazy," Emma said, shaking her head. "What if it becomes permanent?"

"Then I guess you're stuck with a blind wife," Regina teased.

"Not funny," Emma said. "I'm serious. What happens if something goes wrong and you're permanently blind?"

"I'm not going to think about that," Regina said. "As long as I remain happy during this process and relax, I'll be fine."

Emma sighed. "Fine. Go ahead."

Regina smiled and squeezed her arm gently before taking her creation and drinking it in one gulp. It took a couple seconds, but her vision finally turned completely black. She smiled as she thought of the Evil Queen collapsing somewhere, unable to see anything.

"What are you smiling about?" Emma asked.

"Just the thought of the Evil Queen as her vision just goes black," Regina said. "I don't know where she is right now, but I have a feeling things are about to get interesting with her."

Setting down her cup, Regina went to leave the room, but ran into the coffee table. After several more failed attempts, Regina finally left the room. Emma had offered to help, but of course she was shot down.

"You're going to need my help eventually!" Emma called after Regina.

Regina just rolled her eyes. "Am not!"

Turns out Regina was the one wrong this time. After only a couple hours, she already needed Emma's help. Emma gladly jumped in, summoning David on an extra watch in case anyone needed anything.

"What do you need help with?" Emma asked, walking into the mansion. "Everything okay?"

"Fine," Regina said. "I just need your assistance with something small."

"Okay," Emma said. "What exactly am I helping you do?"

"Take a bath," Regina said, leading the way upstairs. "I can't exactly do that without risking drowning."

"And we definitely don't want that," Emma said, wrapping her arm around Regina's. She helped her up the stairs and into the bathroom before drawing her a bath with the perfect temperature.

"Thank you," Regina said. "For all that you've been doing throughout this whole process. I hope that I can get my sight back soon. I miss seeing your face."

Emma smiled and put her hand over Regina's. "Don't worry. We'll catch the Evil Queen, and you'll have your sight back in no time."

"I trust you," Regina said. "Now then, are you going to help me with this bath or not?"
