What I'm Capable Of

As Robin walked through the door, Archie straightened his posture and took his hand away from Zelena's. He had been sitting rather close to Zelena and if the wrong person looked at it, they might mistake this for something more. Zelena looked up at Robin with tears still visible, but she immediately wiped them away with her sleeve. She smiled at Robin, who seemed rather confused at the situation. Archie thought to himself about what was crossing his mind. He looked troubled, but not as troubled as Zelena had been. Either way, Archie could tell the entire family probably needed a large dose of therapy. Zelena had gone back to holding Merida, who wrapped her delicate hand around her mother's pinky. Archie couldn't help but smile and he seen that Robin was smiling too. Perhaps the two were okay with this arrangement. He knew Robin was in love with Regina, but it seemed almost healthy for him to stay and watch over the little baby. Perhaps he was trying to make sure Zelena raised his daughter correctly. If Archie was ever asked for an opinion on Zelena's abilities as a mother, he would most certainly praise her capability. Nevertheless, it was time for him to leave. Time to go back home and rest. More time to think about today's progress. He had done what felt like was the impossible, to calm Zelena's mind.

"I guess I should be going, it's been quite the day. Zelena, if we need to, we can start arranging your appointments as home visits."

"That would be swell, as long as it's okay with Robin. Is that okay?"

"Of course, Zelena. I trust Doctor Hopper with you more than I would most."

Archie cringed as the words passed Robin's lips. Perhaps not the best choice of words he could have chosen. He looked at Zelena who seemed both shocked and lost in thought. Slowly he backed away as a smug grin began to show itself. He knew those words probably stung Zelena, but he also knew she wasn't going to let anyone else know that. Perhaps their next session would cover that. Archie had already stood up, but Zelena struggled holding Merida and getting up from the low couch. Unconsciously, Archie held his arm for her to grab on to. Per the usual, she ignored the subtle act of kindness. The regular Zelena was back... The emotional Zelena he witnessed was nowhere to be found. Maybe Robin and Zelena shouldn't live together, especially with tension so thick, you could cut it with a knife. Archie thought it best to leave straight away, letting the two deal with their own problems. Zelena may have been his patient, but Robin was not. He wouldn't intrude unless asked to do so. Shaking Robin's hand, he nodded clumsily at Zelena and patted Merida on her head ever so gently. Zelena flinched at this, but made no attempt to stop him. Instead she opened the door, motioning for him to leave.

"What did you mean by 'more than I would most?"

"Zelena, I didn't mean it like that, I'm just saying that yo-"

"... That you don't trust me. Is that it? I have done nothing but follow along with every choice that's been made! I have refrained from magic, I haven't caused anyone harm!"

"You have a past, Zelena! Your past has blurred everyone's vision of who you are today. No one trusts you and personally, I don't blame them!"

Zelena's eyes began to burn and her fists began to clench. She knew Robin was right. She had already done so much wrong... Caused so much harm and now she had to pay the price. Magic always did come with a price and hers was an nonredeemable past that would follow her around until her very last breath. No one trusted her... Not her sister, not Robin, she doubted even that clumsy cricket. The one who had just calmed her nerves and yet again, she was having to fight every bitter word away. This conversation was far from over, but Zelena would remain as cool-headed as possible. She noted that it was hard not to give in to the darkness whenever something or someone upset her, but she wasn't going to endanger the well-being of her child with her powers. Speaking of which, Zelena wondered if she had inherited those powers. The possibilities were endless, but she would know soon enough. If she was cursed with them, Zelena could only imagine what would come with them. She stared back at Robin, who looked guilty about what he had said. She knew he didn't mean it the way he'd spoken, but it hurt her nonetheless.

"So this is about us? I have apologized time and time again... I have begged you to stay with Regina, but you still stayed! Because you don't trust me? Is that what everything is about?"

The thief remained quiet, probably afraid to enrage Zelena anymore than he had. Little did he know, not answering her would cause her to walk out. She sat baby Merida down, grabbed her camel colored coat and ran out the door. With her ginger hair flying behind her, she began to cry and wrapped her arms around herself, wishing she didn't feel so alone. She slowed her pace as she made it near the convent. Every ounce of her being pushed her to go inside, to get out of the cold weather. Slowly she walked in, the place was dusty and in need of redecorating. The convent was nearly empty, which made it rather easy to find a seat. As she sat down, she noted one of the women had rushed towards the back. They were probably afraid of Zelena... With good reasoning. Zelena zoned out, holding back tears that were desperate to find their way out. Her face still stung from the cold that had beat against it.

"What are you doing here, Zelena?"

"Mother Superior, you needn't worry ... I'm not here to end your pathetic life. Besides, something tells it will take more to kill you than what I am capable of."

Mother Superior grimaced and made her way by Zelena. Whether she wanted company or not, Mother Superior wasn't going to leave her alone with her thoughts. Zelena sighed agitatedly, but made no effort to move away from her. What good would it do? She already felt uncomfortable in this place. Zelena never considered herself a religious person, but she understood why others had remained optimistic.

"Do you know where she went off to, Robin?"

"I don't know, she just put Merida down and left... I was a little rough on her."

"No, this isn't your fault, Robin... She made her choice. She left Merida and who's to say she won't do it again? I'm coming over."

Regina hung up the phone. She wanted to believe that Zelena had only went for a stroll, but she also believed Zelena was headed to blast the nearest person off the face of the earth. Perhaps she didn't give Zelena enough credit... No one claimed to have seen her, if they would have, the mayor would have been the first to know. She picked up her phone again, if anyone knew where to find Zelena... It might just be Archie. She figured he had spent enough time with her to at least guess where her wicked sister could be. The phone rang twice before Archie picked up.

"It's Regina, do you know where the hell my sister is?"

"She's not a home? Oh dear, let me grab my stuff, I'll meet you outside."

"Dr. Hopper, I understand your worries, but the only help I need from you is a location of where she might go."

Archie felt himself mutter quietly. He should have known she only called with intentions of finding Zelena herself. Archie's lips twitched, trying to stop himself from saying anything else, but alas... It was no use. He proceeded to asking Regina why she left. When she told him what Robin said, Archie felt a pit in his stomach. He could only imagine how Zelena felt, but what shocked him more was that she had left Merida. He knew that since Regina had told him, he would have to put it in Zelena's file. He didn't want to do such a thing, but if anyone ever found out... It would damage his reputation. However, he still felt as if she left Merida for a good reason. He'd just seen the motherly side of Zelena and if she left Merida, it had to be for good reason. Yet again, Archie asked for permission to search with Regina and this time, she reluctantly agreed. Grabbing his umbrella for luck, he walked out his office. It was cold outside, which meant Zelena probably wouldn't be found wandering around in this type of weather. He waited for Regina to pull up and finally she came and he placed himself inside the vehicle.

"Where do we need to look first, Dr. Hopper?"

"I doubt she'll be outside, it's too cold. Perhaps she's inside somewhere... Somewhere safe?"

"There aren't many places in Storybrooke where a witch can find safety, I hope you can think of something a bit more specific."

"There is a place that would make her feel safe... The convent. Call Mother Superior, ask her if Zelena is there!"

Regina did as she was told. Did nuns even use their own phones? She'd never had a reason to call before and she assumed that they might. Would Mother Superior even answer? She wasn't fond of the floating jellyfish, but the feeling was mutual. However, in a time of crisis... The winged freak would have to do. Vague memories of the Enchanted Forest passed her mind as the phone rang... How she had banished Tinker Bell for helping Regina. The Blue Fairy was just as uptight as she was now in Storybrooke. The phone rang twice before Mother Superior answered.

"Tell me Zelena is at the convent? I need to know right now, she's not safe out in the open."

"No and yes, she stopped... I meant to call you if she started to pose a threat, but she left shortly after..."

"Any idea on where she's going? Did she say anything to you?"

It was quiet on the other line. Mother Superior hesitated answering Regina's question. Zelena had said something that caught her attention, if only for a moment. Mother Superior thought deeply about what she could have possibly meant... It didn't make much sense to her. Surely she had heard Zelena wrong. She knew she needed to tell Regina, but Mother Superior had her own demons... Just because you were good, didn't mean you didn't struggle against the darkness. She couldn't let Zelena go as easily as that... The goodness in her wouldn't allow it. Good always won in the end.

"Check the bridge... I'm not sure what she plans on doing, but I know it's not good."
