Hook Discovers... Mirrors
Oh mirror, mirror on the wall... who is the fairest of them all?
It had been an all right day at work, consisting of several fender-benders on the roads (the people here were never the best drivers) and a broken window report from Ruby. Actually, compared to most days, it had been rather eventful.
She had come home to the sight of Henry working on his homework. Emma had peered over the kid's shoulder to look at what he was doing. Math. Her nose curled in disgust, she always hated math. "Eaten anything yet Kid?" She asked, smiling. He shook his head. "Alright then, what do you want?"
"Anything but corn." Was his response.
It was funny how much her kid had hated corn and how often he had to remind her. Her head dipped to his hair, "of course. But one day, you will have to grow to like it."
He made the motion of poking out his tongue in disgust, making a wrenching noise and shaking his head before spilling back into the works.
Her hands glazed over a pot of Mac & Cheese before she realized how quiet it was, "Henry..." The child looked up, enthralled. But he did not speak, he waited for her to finish. "Where is Hook?"
He shrugged, pointing lazily towards the hallway, which led to the rooms. "We disappeared in there right before you got home." His eyes squinted together. "He's been to quiet..."
She had never heard better words coming out from her son's mouth. "Man the food kid, and don't let it burn." He obeyed wordlessly, abandoning his homework.
She wiped her hands along her pants and walked swiftly down the hallway. God only knew what he was doing. First she looked in the bathroom, nothing. Then Henry's bedroom, again nothing. And finally, feeling slightly annoyed, she looked in her own. For a moment she didn't see anything then noticed the strange flicker of shadow that pelted her back wall.
Brow furrowed she approached, reaching her head into her closet. The sight that reached her was just as confusing as the night before when he had discovered electricity. But this was on a different scale, because he didn't see her.
Hook was looking in Emma's full-length mirror. He had obviously abandoned going through her drawer of lingerie which she was grateful for. However, it was not curiosity in his eyes, but raw lust. He was so consumed with the image of himself that he hadn't even noticed as she approached him. "Hook." Her words were sharp and filled with curiosity. Like she was prodding a wild animal.
He jumped then smiled at Emma. "What excellent witchcraft this is! Ooh its better then the lights!"
She sighed, brow furrowed. "Its not witchcraft Hook, its sand at extreme heat."
"Witchcraft my lass," he assured her while still looking at himself.
She rolled her eyes, but he continued to talk. "Have you ever noticed how well my muscles look? Why did you never tell me? And don't let me begin on my butt..."
If she was drinking anything she would've spit it all out on her shoes. Emma attempted to keep a straight face, but his grin was nearly impossible. "Show off." She mumbled before flicking a hair behind her ear.
He raised an eyebrow at her, "I know you'd never want to admit it lass, but that is alright. I want one of these, everywhere. Its like... contained water mirroring reflective metal."
"It is called a mirror." Her frown was evident. And then she thought she smelled something burning and gritted her teeth. "Listen Hook, I don't want to have to explain science to you, it is to late. Dinner is almost ready, be quick. And don't go through any of my stuff."
Again he grinned and as she walked away she swore she could hear him whisper, "Mirror... mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" It was almost impossible not to laugh.
