"Stop looking around like someone is going to come after you," Emma said, grabbing Regina's hand and squeezing it gently.
"A lot of people are down here because of me," Regina said, looking out of the window into the street below. "Of course someone is going to come after me."
"They're not even going to get close to you," Emma said. "You're safe up here."
"Do you really have to go?" Regina asked. "It's not like they even need your help down there. Snow and David can do everything just fine."
Emma sighed and kissed Regina on the cheek. "I'm the Savior. It's my job to make sure that everyone finds happiness, including those who have already died. We need to help these people with their unfinished business."
"So I'll come with you," Regina said.
"No way," Emma said. "We have no idea if anyone's unfinished business is killing you or something. You're going to stay here where it's safe."
"I'm not going to hide up here forever," Regina warned.
"You won't," Emma promised. "It's just for today as we figure out what everyone's unfinished business is."
"Fine," Regina said. "But please be careful."
Emma smiled. "Always."
"That is not being careful," Regina muttered to herself as she looked down at Emma, David, and Snow interacting with those who had died. They were all out in the open, completely unprotected.
"They left you all alone," a voice said from behind Regina.
Regina froze, instantly recognizing that voice. She would know that voice anywhere. That voice had haunted many of her nightmares before. "What do you want?"
"You could face me," the voice said. "It would be nice to see your face after all of these years."
"You never cared about me," Regina spat. "Why would you suddenly start now?"
"Because you're my unfinished business," the voice said softly. "Now please Regina, turn around."
Regina slowly turned around, facing the person who had made her life a living hell. The person who had been another that pushed her to be the Evil Queen. The person she had murdered. Leopold.
"Why am I your unfinished business?" Regina asked. With her back turned, she lit a fireball behind her back, the signal to Emma that something wasn't right and she needed help. Hopefully Emma would see it.
"I did so much wrong by you," Leopold said. "You were forced into a marriage shortly after losing your first love, and I need to apologize for my actions."
Regina huffed out a laugh. "You think after all these years I'm just going to be able to forgive you?"
Leopold winced. "Perhaps not. But I need to try. I need to explain myself."
"You don't need to explain anything," Regina said. "I was nothing to you but a trophy. You drank to dampen the pain of losing the wife that you loved, and took out your pain on me in your drunken state. Relax, I know how this worked."
"It wasn't right of me," Leopold said.
"Of course it wasn't right," Regina snapped. "You were abusing a girl who was forced to marry you. You helped create the monster that I became. Congratulations."
Leopold took a step towards her. "Regina-"
"Don't you dare come any closer," Regina said, taking a step back so that her back was pressed up against the window. If she was honest with herself, the presence of Leopold was becoming scary. She didn't know how much longer she could keep up the composed part that she was currently playing.
"Please, can't we talk about this?" Leopold asked. "I know that I did wrong by you, and I want to make things right. That is my unfinished business. Making amends with those that I wronged. You're the only one left."
"I'm not interested in what you have to say," Regina said, gripping onto the windowsill to keep herself from falling. She was starting to shake, and her legs felt like they would give out at any moment.
"Regina please," Leopold pleaded. "Just hear me out." He reached out to grab Regina's arm, causing her to whimper and shrink away from his touch. It had taken her months to allow Emma to touch her. There was no way that Leopold would be able to.
"Get away from her!" Emma shouted, storming into the room. She had her gun raised, aimed perfectly at Leopold's head. "I'm not afraid to shoot."
Leopold held up his hands in surrender. "I didn't mean any harm. I only came to get help with my unfinished business."
"If you are who I think you are, then you need to get away from Regina right now," Emma growled, stepping closer. "You're not welcome here."
"I can see that," Leopold said calmly. "I suppose I'll just have to come back another time."
"Come back again and I'll shoot you without thinking twice," Emma said. Leopold's eyes widened before he quickly exited the apartment. Emma hoped that Snow wouldn't see him. She had been through a lot today.
Regina let go of the windowsill and slowly sank to the ground. Emma quickly put away her gun and crouched down to Regina's level, cupping Regina's face in her hands. "Are you okay?"
"No," Regina said softly.
Emma let go of her face and hugged her tightly. "I never should have left you alone. I'll never leave your side again, I promise."
"What about helping with people's unfinished business?" Regina asked, her shaking stopping as she relaxed in Emma's arms.
Emma shook her head. "You're more important to me."
"More important than being the Savior?" Regina asked.
"Listen to me," Emma said. "No matter what happens, you will always be the most important thing in my life. Not even Henry is more important than you. It's you, and always will be."
Regina smiled and kissed Emma gently. "I love you."
Emma smiled. "I love you too."
