"Blah, blah, blah…" Regina muttered in her head, as she tried to block out Peter Pan's rant about her and her family's mistakes. Her blood pressure was skyrocketing with every regret he proclaimed for them to have. The second she got out of the Tree of Regret's binds, she'd tear out his tongue, and make him swallow it. Then she'd slowly proceed to break every bone in that tiny frame of a body of his, and if she could, she'd strip him of any dignity and self-worth he had for himself. "This kid is an even worse nutcase than Rumple, Mal, and I combined!" she muttered under her breath.

It was apparent that Emma and Snow had been listening, as they both let out muffled giggles, before straightening their faces. A smirk came across Regina's face, as she decided that enough was enough. "Are you finished yet?" she asked.

"Last words from the Queen?" Pan began as he made himself over to her side, a mocking tilt of his head as he grinned. "Perhaps a death bed confession from the one who has the most regret of all?"

"Yeah…there's just one problem with that," Regina lightly laughed. "I did cast a curse that devastated an entire population. I have tortured and murdered. I've done some terrible things. I should be overflowing with regret but," she began with a shameless shrug. "I'm not."

The second Regina pulled away from her restraints, and the branches broke around her, Emma, and Snow, everyone glanced toward her with looks of horror and astonishment. Regina smirked evilly at the look of fear in Pan's eyes, and couldn't help but feel the swell of pride that she made Peter Pan, the one man Rumple himself was terrified of, almost wet his pants. "Because it got me my son!" she added before thrusting her hand in his chest, and tearing out her son's golden heart.

Regina watched as Pan crumbled to the ground, and had to resist the urge to burn him where he lay, but holding her son's heart reminded her that Henry wouldn't want her to exact that type of vengeance. She'd settle with seeing this broken lost boy rot with the fact he had been beaten. Regina glanced down to the Pandora's Box that held her former master, and quickly snatched it from Pan's reach. She glanced between her son's heart and Pandora's Box…the grin on her face only widening at the fact she had won.

"Now ladies…" she began looking toward the still stunned faces of Emma and Snow. "Let's go save Henry," she smirked before walking away.

After recovering from their shock, Emma and Snow could only think of one word to say as they followed Regina back to camp. "Daammmn…"
