Chapter Two
The Second Meeting
Henry didn't tell his mothers about his first kiss with Peter Pan. He hadn't even told them he was gay and now this had happened. He was kept awake at night thoughts about how he could meet Peter Pan again. He wanted to. The only way he could think of was to go to Peter Pans well known club. The Neverland. Or else he could try and grill Wendy Darling. She after all was the one who had invited him along that night…why had she done that?
'She was up to something' he thought 'but what? She is my oldest friend and she invited me along to a party of Peter Pan's? She knows what could have happened to me there. She know who my mothers are'. Henry twisted around in his bed. He wished sleep would come and take him away but he wasn't to be so lucky. His teachers would notice the circles under eyes and the way his head drooped. They would talk about ringing his mother but she was such a busy woman really. They wouldn't bother her. Henry was usually a good student. Another person noticed though. Wendy Darling. She smirked to herself and sighed.
'Won't be long now Bell' she thought to herself as she blushed. Henry kept an eye on Wendy out of the corner of his eye. It wasn't until after School he was finally able to corner her. It was just outside the girl's locker rooms.
'What the hell where you playing at' said Henry as he caught her arm.
'I am sure I don't know what you mean Darling' said Wendy.
'Don't you Darling me Wendy Darling' said Henry 'you invited me to that party. You know who he is and you know who I am. Do you realize what might have happened to me with a guy like that'?
'You would have your first kiss, get hooked on him and what to see him again' she said. Henry's grip on her slack a little and she pulled free. 'I always thought you were gay ever since Nicholas. I'm right then Darling you do want to see him again. I can make it happen' she said smiling.
'How'? Said Henry.
'Meet me tonight at the Neverland and I will get you into the back room to meet him' said Wendy.
'Okay' he said.
'I knew you wouldn't let me down Darling' she said.
'What's with all this Darling Business?' said Henry.
'Just me being my old self again' said Wendy. Henry narrowed his eyes but in the end just shrugged it off. He walked away from her after exchanging times to meet.
'I must be mad to be doing this, utterly and totally crazy' he thought to himself. He headed and as usual it was an empty house with no Regina in sight. There was also no Emma but then again she hadn't been there for a long time.
'I remember what it would have been like to have a normal up bringing' he said out loud to himself 'with both my mum instead of just me and Regina'. There was a photo of Regina and Emma together on the mental piece of the drawing room. Henry took it down. The two women were smiling in it. Regina very obviously pregnant at this stage. Henry smiled. He thought about how Regina had told him. About how he had been conceived.
'I had been told I couldn't have children my ovaries wouldn't work. Your other mother Emma had been told she couldn't become pregnant because her uterus wasn't working properly. So in the end Henry we found some kind of I guess you could call it well a working strategy. We took an egg from Emma and put it inside my uterus' she smiled and refilled his hair.
'What about my Dad'? Said Henry
'We used a sperm donor for that, you can find out who he is when you turn 18 if that is what you want of course'. But Henry wasn't sure he wanted that. He had been happy with his mothers and him after all. Until one left and the other entered Public office and now he felt alone.
'It would be great to have a sibling' he thought 'someone to share it all with'. There had been a time when it looked he would have had a sibling. A little brother called Daniel.
'I wonder if Emma and Regina could ever work things out' he thought 'I would love to live here with the two of them. It would make the house a little less empty after all if the three of us were here. Maybe they could have another child-they still have frozen embryos after all'. But he knew it was impossible 'Emma left Regina while she was pregnant with their child, Regina will never forgive such a thing even though she knows why Emma left now….after all the people I should really blame are my grandmothers I suppose' Cora and Mary Margaret. Henry paused 'guess that's one thing though my mom's got from their mothers, being complicated women. Besides now there is Killian Jones in the picture…he's like a filthy pirate Emma could do better than that guy. She has had someone better then him. My mum why did she leave I wish they could have just worked things out. If only my grandmother had kept a secret. Had kept Regina's secret'.
He headed to his room. Henry could distinctly remember the first time he had been attracted to guys. It had been this boy he had mate called Nicholas at School. Nicholas was handsome and was always flanked by his older sister Paige. They had been Henry's friends until they moved away. Henry sighed it seemed that everyone he cared about left. Nicholas, Emma (although she had come back eventually), his dad was never in the picture, Regina was always busy with work, Wendy had secrets she was keeping to herself. Felix was off his head. Henry sighed and touched his lips again. Then there was Peter Pan. Henry thought of the things he and Peter could do together. The images filled his mind and he felt very hot.
Regina Mills noticed the letter from her mother when she got back to her office after a coffee break. Without reading it she tore it up. Cora had sent ….Regina had lost count how many….over the years trying to reconnect.
'Well she at least tries with you' said Zelena as she watched her sister rip up with the letter. Zelena was taller then Regina with long auburn locks. She like Regina wore a sensible pants suit.
'A little green with envy sis'? Said Regina 'you know what she is, you were lucky to escape her'.
'I know' said Zelena 'I know that now'.
'Anyway have you done what I asked of you' said Regina and her sister nodded before handed over a briefcase. Regina took it and smiled.
'Everything is there' said Zelena 'as soon as we know which hiding place he is now we can have the commissioner mover in and take him with her men. My informant should be finding out for me know'.
'Very good sis' said Regina.
'One thing though, if we cut off Gold…how do you expect to stop someone from replacing him'? Said Zelena.
'Easy Sis, Gold's business thrived on having heroin addicts but thanks to the new clinics that offer weaning drugs many people are already getting to sobriety and with Gold gone his whole organization will crumble and before anyone new can amass the resources to stop me the number of addicts in this city will have dropped enough for the business to take a serious hit' Regina said.
'You make it sound so easy' said Zelena.
'Oh trust me it was far from being easy but Gold has been losing Ground because of the clinics for a long time' Regina smirked 'it has been a long game but I am finally on the cusp of winning'.
'Yes, you're are on the cusp but sister to sister…don't neglect things closer to home' said Zelena.
'What do you mean'? Regina said.
'Henry' said Zelena 'and Emma'.
'Once Gold and Pan are behind bars then I will have time to spend with him again' said Regina 'this is temporary'.
'Temporary can seem like a long time to a child' said Zelena 'I know he's seventeen but that is still very young'.
'It'll be fine the game is almost over, I've won the battle' said Regina.
'Yes but can you win the war' said Zelena.
'This is hardly a war' said Regina.
'You're right because you can win a war' said Zelena.
Regina went to her car and began driving home when she realized something. Zelena had mentioned Emma as someone she shouldn't neglect.
'We've been over a long time me and Emma' said Regina 'everyone knows that. She left me pregnant with our child and to raise another one on my own. Yes she had her reasons I understand that but that doesn't make it okay. For six years I wiped away every tear, soothed every headache, spent god knows how many nights awake' Regina felt herself grip the steering wheel. 'While she was off doing….whatever the hell it was she was doing. No one else better bring this up. Not Zelena and not Maleficent when she come for dinner tomorrow. She is bringing her daughter Lily. Maybe I'll try and encourage Henry to befriend her. He needs more friends and maybe even a girlfriend'. Regina arrived home to find Henry about to go out again.
'Off again' she said smiling 'with who'?
'Wendy Darling' Henry said.
'Is she more than a friend'? Regina said.
'Mum I have to tell you something' Henry said.
'What's wrong'? Regina said.
'Nothing…I won't ever have a girlfriend…..' said Henry.
'Oh why not?' said Regina.
'We can talk more about this tomorrow when I am home but I really have to get going' said Henry.
'Sure' said Regina. She hugged him. There went her plans to set him up with Lily. Oh well maybe there would be a girl somewhere down the line now. Henry left and Regina decided to call Maleficent. Maleficent was her oldest friend and at times had been her only friend.
'Hi Mal' said Regina 'just making sure you and Lily are still coming by tomorrow'.
'We are' said Mal 'is something wrong Regina I can hear it in your voice'?
'Henry just told me he's never going to have a girlfriend. That's a really weird thing for a kids to say' said Regina.
'Have you thought that he might be gay?' said Mal.
'I have but I wanted him to have an easy life' said Regina.
'He has two mothers, one genetically and the other gestational, his life is hardly part of the norm as it is Regina' said Mal. 'Besides being Queer doesn't mean life has to be hard. I have found my own joy with my daughter'.
'I know but it always feels like there is something missing from my happy ending. I have power, success, money and a son I love. What else is there'? Said Regina.
'You're still you love with Emma' said Mal. Regina laughed but she also coughed.
'You won't be happy until you have made peace with what happened between you two' said Mal 'Look the phone is not where we should have this conversation. We'll talk more tomorrow.' Regina went to bed and passed out as soon as her head hit the pillow.
Henry headed to the meeting place. Wendy was already there wearing a fur coat.
'Hey' said Henry 'do you what to explain to me what your angle here is' he said.
'I have no idea what you mean' she said.
'Don't take me for a fool, is this about a girl for you' said Henry.
'What do you care? If you want to see Peter again I am you best bet Darling' said Wendy.
'True, I could be walking into a trap here but I guess that's a risk I am just going to have to take' said Henry. Wendy smiled then but it looked rather forced. Her grip on her coat then also slacked.
'This way then' she said 'we'll go in the back door.' Henry followed her. He felt uneasy. What was going on? He had had known Wendy Darling for years and she had always had thing for fur but her recent thing of calling people Darling was strange.
The Neverland was a large and impressive building. It was one of Storybrooke's large skyscrapers with a night club at the top. The back door as Wendy had referred to it as was more of side door she opened with a swipe card. They stepped into a plain white room which was ridiculously clean and took an alleviator from there. They rode up….to Neverland. They stepped out of it into the night club at the top. Grabbing hand rather roughly Wendy guided him throw the crowds to a door at the back of the bar. A young woman garbed in dark green with curly blond hair stood guard there smoking a long black cig. She nodded at them and Wendy thrusts Henry inside and the door closed with a snap.
'I gave orders to be left alone' Pan said turning. He froze. Behind him Henry could see his friend Felix. He gaped. Felix looked down at the ground. 'Out Felix' Peter ordered. Felix left. Peter stared at Henry. 'What are you doing here wasn't once enough.'
'Are all of my friends in league with you, Felix, Wendy, what about Violet? Don't tell me she works for you' said Henry.
'Violet doesn't work for me' said Peter 'although I was considering recruiting her at one point'.
'Oh lovely, it's like you wanted to find me' said Henry.
'No I didn't. I don't know what it is about you but have some sort of effect on me. If I knew Wendy was going to bring you that night I wouldn't have gone near you. Well except to kidnap you maybe and hold you as ransom for you mothers. They really have become a nuisance for me' said Peter 'why are you here'?
'Because I can't stop thinking about you' said Henry. He crossed the room and cupped Peters face. The older boy tried to step back but Henry held him there and they kissed again. This kiss was hard and rough nothing like their kisses before.
'Well you're in for it now Henry Mills' said Peter grabbing the other young man's ass and squeezing it hard 'I let you go last time. Not again. I am going to fuck you' He kissed him again and then again. Before pulling him out of the room and to the alleviator. He was going to take Henry back to his apartment and fuck his brains out. Peter could feel his hands trembling as the two kissed again and again in as they went down. Henry pulled at Peter's hair and Peter ran his hands under Henry's shirt feeling his muscles. He ran his hand up to Henry's nipples and gave them a squeeze. Henry jumped. Peter laughed.
What the two boys didn't see was Bell, Wendy and Felix's watching them from the shadows.
'Someone want to explain to me what is going on' said Felix.
'Henry is not only gay but screwing Peter Pan' said Bell.
'I gathered that much but….how did this come about' said Felix.
'Well we all agreed that Peter needed to meet someone' said Wendy.
'Yes but the son of the commissioner and the mayor'? Said Felix 'just want are you two up to'?
'What do you know you're not as slow as we thought you were' said Bell 'but really all good things in time, right Wendy'? She took hold of Wendy's hand and smiled.
'Well if it is the Tinker and the devil on the job then I am staying out of the way' said Felix.
'No one calls me that any more' said Wendy 'and don't call Bell such a slur either'.
'Sorry but Cruella Darling just doesn't have the same ring. So what if you are able to dethrone Peter. Someone else will take his place and you will be right back to where you started. The while thing is a pointless pursuit' said Felix.
'I will never go back to where I started Darling' said Wendy. She clicked her tongue and taking Bell's hand walked away through the crowd leaving Felix alone. He sighed and then turned. He walked out of the nightclub making a mental note to pay a visit to his employer in the mourning.
Emma Swan was at the moment her son was kissing Peter Pan outside the hotel Gold. It belonged to Robert Gold. He was Pan's great rival. Emma knew he was in the pent house at the top of the hotel. She had a warrant for his arrest in a small black bag. He was to be arrested on grounds of Trafficking Drugs and on furthering conspiracies against the city of Storybrooke. Emma was not exactly certain on what Regina had on Gold as she had only been given the word on hour ago to arrest him. But Regina had asked Emma to trust her and that was what Emma was going to do.
'I bet it has something to do with her sister Zelena' said August who was standing next to her 'her and that one Maleficent have their hands in places we can't get into'.
'Guess it pays to have once been on the other side of the law' said Emma 'you gain their trust. Which means you get to betray them later of course.' She clicked her tongue and then saw a black van mover into position. A man with a brown beard and curly hair dressed in uniform got out. Emma nodded to him. She then pulled out her gun and her batch.
'Let's go' she said to August and then walked into the Hotel followed by him and Graham. She headed to the receptionist. The young woman stood as though transfixed as she watched Emma approach.
'I want the key to Robert Gold's Pent House' said Emma. The young woman silently handed it over. Emma took the alleviator with August while Graham took the stairs. Emma reached the door to the Pent house first she banged on it. It was opened by a young woman in a yellow dressing gown.
'Belle Gold I believe' said Emma Swan, the young woman nodded 'out of the way your husband is under arrest' the young girl hesitated as she thought about for a split second but in the stepped aside and allowed the police entrance. Robert Gold was still dressed in his business suit. He was a much older man then his wife. He was grey and balding. His suit was dark purple and made of the best material. Emma produced a pair of handcuffs. While August read him his rights. Mrs Gold stood by. She was very strangely calm as her husband was arrested. As August and Graham lead Gold away Mrs Gold turned to Emma.
'On what grounds are you having him place under arrest'? She said.
'Grounds of Drug trafficking, grounds of further conspiracies and god knows how many other crimes' Emma said.
'When can I see him'? Said Belle.
'Not for a while yet' said Emma. Belle nodded. 'You need to get dressed and come with me. We will want to question you as well'. Belle moved to the bedroom to change out of her dressing gown.
'Who's we'? She asked Emma.
'You're not at liberty to ask such a question' said Emma. But Belle could guess it would be Swan, Regina and Zelena who she and her husband would have to face tonight as they were questioned separately. Belle inhaled deeply before going to get changed.
Peter pulled Henry into his apartment. Kissing him. He pulled at the younger boys cloths. He ripped off Henry's jeans as he pushed the younger boy onto the bed.
'Last time was your first kiss' said Peter 'so I take it you have never been fucked before'. Henry didn't say anything. It wasn't a question after. Peter Pan unzipped his jeans with his trademark smirk. He took the lube from the door bedside cabinet and coated his fingers in it. Henry spread his legs. He was giving Peter easy access. He inhaled as the first of Peter's fingers went inside him. Peter fingered him slowly before adding in a second and then a third finger. He then pushed something much bigger inside Henry and the younger boy's back arched. He clawed at Peters back. This was certainly not how he pictured his first time and it was certainly not with Peter Pan but he didn't care. He pulled at Peter's hair pulling him down for another kiss. Peter's hand grabbed Henry's cock and began to jerk him off as her fucked him. Henry's back arched for the final time before both he and Peter came. Henry screaming out Peter's name as he did so. The two boys then curled up together and slept cuddling together.
Regina smiled as she watched Gold being taken away. His court case would be in a few days' time. It was all coming together almost too nicely.
'So what's next then Regina'? Emma said 'I assume your sister already has people watching Peter Pan for'.
'Watching would be the wrong word we can't get anyone that close to him but what we can do is keep an eye on those just slightly lower on the food chain. Finding information is what Zelena is good at' said Regina 'beside we don't need to get that close it's not like we need to know who he is sleeping with or anything like that'.
'I wouldn't put it past Zelena and you to find that out if it could serve some sort of means to an end' said Emma. She looked at Regina at it struck not for the first time how beautiful the other woman was when she was powerful. Beautiful but dangerous. That was something Emma knew Regina got from Cora. Even though Regina would hate to hear her say that. 'So when do you want me to arrest Peter Pan'?
'Not yet all the pieces aren't in play just yet' said Regina 'on a more personally not though I think we need to sit down and talk to Henry'.
'Why has something happened'? Said Emma.
'He told me he will never have a girlfriend' said Regina
'I guess he doesn't want one' said Emma.
'I just think we should talk to him at all. He is awfully young still' said Regina.
'Too young to know what he wants? When did you know what you wanted?' said Emma.
'Point taken but we still need to have a chat anyway it is long overdue' said Regina 'I was hoping to wait until we had Peter Pan locked up but Zelena said something that made me realize that was bad idea' she said.
'What did she say'?
'Just that I shouldn't neglect the people I love' said Regina.
'She's right we shouldn't neglect our son' said Emma.
'No we shouldn't'.
'Well I have to go I have to get home to Killian' said Emma.
'Give me him my best'. Emma paused as she was about to leave as though she wanted to say more. But none the less she left and headed to her car. She and Regina were long over but every time Emma saw her she felt a pull towards her even now. But Regina had kept things from her. Things that shouldn't have been kept between two people who loved each other. But Emma had also done something pretty awful.
'It's all in the past now' she thought as she drove her way home 'all of it and I am with someone new now. It's all gone into the past. So why can't I leave it there? I really wish I could'.
