A/N: All the Once Upon A Time characters look like they do in the show, I don't think I need to go into detail on their description because we've all watched the show. Disclaimer is in chapter one. Hope you enjoy! :D

The first day of school wasn't too bad, except for he was in that we're as low as he could be in until they knew where he was intellect wise. He was given a standard test to see where he belonged for each subject. Even though he had lived in a small town, Henry was a very bright kid. Of course, he had gotten his clever mischievous side from his father. However, he mixed his mischievousness with his actual intellect and that is how he figured out the history within the book. With each class came that subjects standardized test.

By the time Henry got to The Lester's house he was exhausted. The Mrs. Lester stayed at the house and greeted the kids when they got home. Being fifteen Henry was a freshman in High School. He was no exception to the teenage boy snacking. He went up stairs and put his bag on his bed before heading into the living room where Mrs. Lester sat plying with Neal. Henry walked over and smiled at his uncle.

"How was your first day of school, Henry? Did you make any friends?" Mrs. Lester asked when she noticed his presences.

"I just had a lot of placement tests and everything, since they couldn't find anything on me for school. I kept to myself all day," he added the last part with a shrug. "Can I get a snack?"

"Of course dear, mi casa es tu casa," Mrs. Lester smiled.

Henry smiled and headed into the kitchen. Sitting on the counter top in a nice bowl sat bright red apples. He turned away from the apples and searched the kitchen and familiarized himself with the set up as well. Finding the peanut butter and bread, Henry slapped together a peanut butter sandwich and ate it. After his snack he wasn't sure what to do. He was so used to having homework after school, he was lost.

That night the entire house sat at the table for dinner, "Well, since this is our first real meal with our newest members why don't we go around and introduce ourselves!" Mrs. Lester said as they all ate. No one really made an attempt to start it, "Nick, why don't you start? Then we will go clockwise," Mrs. Lester decided.

The big blonde that Henry had to share a room with continued eating. He began talking with food in his mouth causing Henry to cringe in disgust. Through the food and with Nick's lack of grammar he said, "'M Nick. I haven't ever met my parents and I play video games."

"I'm Madeline, I was put in the foster system when I was three. This is my fourth home," said the petite red head next to Nick. She was a freshman too, she had told Henry who to avoid before she had parted ways with him to go to her classes.

Next was Mr. Lester, both adults had introduced themselves to him last night so it was the eight year old, dirty blonde haired, girl, "My name is Elise, I never met my family," her voice was so soft that Henry had to strain his ears to hear her.

Next was Henry, taking a deep breath he started, "My name is Henry. The only reason why I am here is because my family has gone missing."

It was silent for only a moment before Nick stopped eating for a minute. He locked his eyes with Henry's before a devious smirk crosses his face. Henry sat there waiting for whatever was about to happen. For some reason Henry had this sense of fear wash over him, he hadn't felt this since he was ten. The sense of fear he would get when he knew his mother was angry, the anger that made him fearful of what was going to happen to him.

"Maybe, your books have the answer, Nerd. According to your notes they do, Mr. Fairy tale boy. Why don't you go ask Grandma Snow White? She tell you all your problems can be solved with singing," the big guy taunts.

Henry grips his fork until his knuckles turned white. The other two kids are looking between the boys. Mr. and Mrs. Lester are glancing at each other silently asking each other what they should do. Henry was infuriated, the big brute just grinned at Henry. Henry knew the idiot had gone through his things the only question is when, he was playing video games until sometime after Henry finally went to bed.

"What's wrong Henry? Are you having flash backs?"

Without a word Henry stands up and walks into the kitchen. He digs around the drawers until he finds as close to matches as he can and walks back into the dining room. Henry sets the kitchen knife next to Nick and holds his own.

The fight never happened. Instead Nick was sent to a new foster home. As it turns out Henry was not the first and won't be the last kid Nick tormented in hopes of getting them kicked out. Though the Lester's told him he didn't have to, Henry cleaned up the kitchen. After that he showered and just went to bed. At least he told them he was going to bed.

The two girls knew he wasn't asleep. They saw the light of the flashlight under the door. Henry stayed up late into the night jotting notes down and trying to figure out how he was going to get his family back. He had no way to find Isaac let alone get to him. He would have to think like both a villain and a hero in order to stop Isaac. Henry knew Isaac was the villain, the only way to find a villain is to think like a villain.

The next morning Henry was woken up, he had slept past his alarm and only had fifteen minutes left to get ready for school. He had fallen asleep with his story book open to the page that had been changed when his mom and Hook went back in time. With one glance at the page Henry shut the book and put it in his backpack before rushing to get dressed. He grabbed a pop tart as he left for school.

Today he had been given classes he was smart enough to be in. Most of them were Honors classes. In his English class he met a girl with reddish brown hair and freckles. Her name is Lux Kennedy. At lunch Lux invited Henry to sit at her table with her friends. He hesitated, Lux's friends didn't look like the crowd he belonged to, he sat down anyway and was introduced to each of them. It wasn't until he started talking to them that he realized they were his crowd. Some of them had more reasonable subjects to talk about, others would be on one topic one minute you tune out, you tune back in less than a minute later and they are on a completely different topic and you try to connect the two topics, but you just can't.

Days turned into months and though Henry wouldn't admit it, he was starting to lose hope in ever finding a way to save his family. With each passing day Henry read deeper and deeper into every line in Isaac's evil book. Not once had he seen Emma's name even mentioned by a character. All he found that could even remotely be her was a crazy hag locked away in a tower. If Henry wasn't trying to save his family or going to school, he was helping take care of Neal. His phone never left his hand while with Neal. He recorded and labeled each day.

The day Neal said his first word was a Saturday. Neal had been "m"-ing a lot in the months leading up to it. So on the day Neal spoke Henry had been video taping.

"Neal, can you say hi to mommy and daddy and sissy?" Henry asked in that baby voice he didn't know he had picked up on. Mrs. Lester always spoke to Neal that way and so at some time Henry started to as well.

"Mmm. Mama Dada!" Neal squealed bouncing as he continued, "mama mama mama!"

Smiling behind the camera Henry layed out the four pictures for Neal,"Neal, whose this?"

"Mama!"

"Whose this?"

"Mama!"

"No, that's Emma."

"Mma!"

"Whose this?"

"Mama!"

"No, that's Daddy."

"Dada!"

Henry shut off the video as Mrs. Lester walked in with a smile as Neal continued squealing. She then walked over and sat down next to Henry looking at the picture on the ground.

"That's a cute family. I can see why you want to get back to them," Mrs. Lester smiles, "You look like you mother. She looks like her sister, but also like your father."

Henry holds back a smirk. Mrs. Lester assumed Emma was married to David. He shook his head, "That isn't my father that's my g-u-Godfather."

Mrs. Lester scrunched her eyebrows together in thought, "Whose the other woman?"

"That's my adopted mom. My birth mom gave me up but had an open adoption," it was true to an extent and that's all that mattered.

"Mrs. Lester?" Henry looked up and asked, "Can I have friend over? She and I have an English project to work on," another half truth.

"Yes, of course Henry. She can stay over for dinner to if she'd like. And please stop calling me Mrs. Lester, call me Alex," she smiled at him, as Neal babbled throwing Mama's out randomly making Henry smile a bit.

He collected the photos and kissed Neal's head before he headed up stairs and texting Lux. About fifteen minutes later a small car drops Lux off and Alex answers the door. She invites Lux in and calls for Henry. As Henry comes down the stairs he hears Madeline call from upstairs, "No girls allowed in your room with the door shut, Henry!"

Henry rolled his eyes and stopped int the kitchen where Lux and Alex were. Lux looks over and smiles, "Ready to work on our project?"

"You can be upstairs in your room just leave to door open," Alex states causing Henry to blush a little bit.

Henry turns and heads to the stairs with Lux following. That is until she see Neal in the living room, "Whose this little guy?"

"That's Neal."

"Now, is he?"

"Yes, I'll explain later."

"No! Mama!" Neal yells, looking at Henry.

When the two get to the room Henry grabs the books and sets them on the ground for her to look at. She starts flipping through Once Upon A Time.

"Okay, so how are you and Neal related?"

"He's my Uncle. My mom is Emma or Princess Leia," he says showing her the picture of Emma being put in the wardrobe and at the Royal Ball.

"How did your mom go from a full grown woman to an infant?"

"She fell through a time portal. She had messed up something so she had to fix it that's why she is at the Ball. Anyway, Neal is my mom's brother. Their parents are Snow White and Prince Charming. This is the true History of my family."

Lux flips through the book trying to retain as much information as she can to tell her sister. Henry then shows her Heroes and Villains. He lets her look through the paper back.

"This is what happened to them after we released the Author so my mom, Regina, could finally be happy."

"Wait, I thought you said Emma was your mom."

"She is. She's my birth mom. Regina adopted me."

"Okay, so what are we going to do?"

"We need to find out exactly what happens and find Isaac before he seals their fates by writing a sequel."

"Okay, I'm in. Saving Fairy tale people, is it okay if my sister helps?"

"Sure, I'll take as much help as I can," Henry says, smiling thankful that he didn't give up hope.
