Just a random thing here: you probably noticed that I didn't bring Hook in the story or even talked about Emma's romantic relationships, that's because I don't really care about CS (AH! *GASP* Kill me now).

Things between Regina and Robin, after the whole thing at the hospital, were… okay. He'd come, play with Lily but wouldn't say anything to Regina, he acted as if she wasn't there, and she was okay with it, she thought it would be easier to leave that way. One day, he talked to her, didn't ignore her.

"So, you are leaving in 2 days?" Robin asked and Regina was surprised, it was the first thing he said to her in a long time.

"Yes."

"Do you still think it's for the best?" He asked again.

"I do, you know I need to keep her safe, you understand the lengths people go to protect their children."

"I do… I am just… angry and… and frustrated… and so many other things, because you are taking her away from me again."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be, sorry won't stop you from leaving."

"Hi." He said as he sat opposite of her.

"Hello. Oh, yeah, please sit down and join me." Zelena said sarcastically.

"The next drink is on me." He said, ignoring her comment.

"You make it sound like I drink alcohol, and who said I'm going to get the next drink? Huh? Can't I just drink one cup of tea in peace?" She asked and sipped her tea. She wasn't in the good mood the whole day, she thought that a tea in Granny's might make her feel better but of course someone had to interrupt her.

"Well, someone's cranky." He said as he called Ruby and ordered a cup of tea as well.

"Sorry, I just have so much to do and I don't really have the time, we're leaving the day after tomorrow or haven't you heard?"

"Oh, I've heard, Neal is not pleased by the way, he finally had someone near his age to play with." He said, remembering how his son started to cry and scream, after they told him, like that would stop them for leaving.

"Yeah, well, this is for the best." Zelena said and she believed it, she wanted them to come back to Boston and she had hoped that Lily wouldn't show any signs of possessing magic even before she came in Storybrooke.

"What's with that? Both you and Regina talk about how this is for the best, to keep Lily safe… Did something happen that we don't know about?" Charming asked, his voice filled with curiosity and concern.

She wanted to say that so many things happened that they don't know about, but decided against it, The Charmings or anyone but Robin, Rumple, Belle, Regina and her didn't know about Lily's… specialness. They (meaning Rumple and Zelena) didn't even allow Regina to tell Henry, Regina endlessly fought with them about that, she wanted to tell Henry and fulfill her promise that she won't lie to him anymore which when she told them about, they said that it wasn't a good excuse because there was a big loophole in that promise, she promised not to lie to him, meaning, that if he doesn't ask about it, she is not technically lying to him about it, she'd just keep the truth hidden.

"What are you doing here, Charming?" Zelena asked, not answering his question.

"I came here to tell you something and then ask you something."

"Okay. Shoot."

"First, I'm going to tell you something. The first time we found out that you were from Oz, I instantly thought that you were Zelena." Zelena awkwardly sipped on her tea, trying to act normal, luckily he didn't notice it and continued talking. "But, we don't anymore because Regina told us that you were a doctor in Oz and that you helped those in need." Zelena nodded as if to confirm Regina's story. "Now, the question." Zelena's body tensed, expecting something suspicious but she instantly relaxed when she heard his question, "How is Oz? Is it beautiful?" His cursed persona David Nolan seemed to have a weird obsession about all things related to Oz, some of that was transferred to his normal Charming self, the stories about Oz were wonderful and so well written and he couldn't deny that he actually liked it.

"I haven't realized just how beautiful and unique the realm was until I left." Zelena said and it was true, only when she came in Boston, when she stopped being obsessed with revenge she realized all the beauties of Oz and Emerald City. "But, I must admit, I do not know this Zelena person you speak about." She added as if not to look suspicious that she didn't ask about it.

"Oh, sorry, I assumed Regina told you or that you've heard of her in Oz. She was The Wicked Witch of The West, she attacked us before Regina left, they were sisters and she seemed to be so much powerful than Regina but then Regina used light magic and the witch was locked up, she didn't last long, she killed herself and her necklace opened up a portal that took Emma and Hook in past."

"Her necklace?"

"Yeah, the necklace kept all of her magic in it and when she died, her necklace released her magic."

"Okay." Behaving like it was too much for 'Elise' to comprehend.

"Should we do something… to help or something like that?" Belle asked as she settled on the couch, they released her from hospital and she should be fully healed in a day or so.

"Well, I'm 'helping' just without Regina knowing it." Rumple answered.

"What? Why?" Belle asked concerned.

"Don't look at me like that… Zelena wanted me to try to teach Lily to control her magic, well, actually, she is helping her, I'm there only to observe and do magic when it's needed. Zelena is walking her through it, trying to help her understand and she wanted someone with magic abilities with them, who is not Regina, in case magic would be needed, she asked me and I accepted."

"I think she should tell Regina."

"Are you kidding? Regina won't hear about Lily teaching magic because she thinks it will harm her or the people would go after her. Regina thinks that it's the best to take her where there's no magic so that she would not even have to learn therefore not risking anyone going after her, but I think Regina is just afraid."

"From what?" Belle asked curiously, Rumple knew Regina the best and if anyone could know what was going on inside her head it would be him.

"Because she has only interacted with magic that is destructive, that hurts people and tears families apart, aside from finding light inside of her and "defeating" Zelena, all of her life she has known dark magic, of course, she knew that the light magic existed but she never performed it, never felt it. So, she's afraid of Lily turning into her and she's afraid of hope, because that was what Lily was to her and she could never be afraid of Lily, she loves her with her whole soul, but this light magic showing itself when it did, it scared her. There is more, of course, with Regina there is always more, her brain works in complex ways, I am not afraid to admit that her mind is the most complicated that I've ever interacted with, and I've met a lot of people. A lot." He said, causing silence to fall over them. That answer left Belle with a lot to think about, she knew Rumple interacted with thousands of people, many of them had owed him at some point. She wanted to think about this more but the tiredness got the best of her, she closed her eyes, deciding that she could think about it once she woke up and when she'd have access to her beloved books.

Sooo… Regina's gonna be mad if she finds out(or not), what do you think will happen? Will Zelena be in trouble? We'll see… Thank you all for reading! -K
