P.O.V. Change
Days passed and Watcher and Henry were both still under coma.
At Regina's request they now shared a room and were out of observation and breathing normally. Now all that was needed was to wait for them to wake.
Blue and Frankenstein had shown the others the injuries to Watcher and Henry's hands, explained what had happened and their hypothesis and still no one could pin point an idea as to what it was that had caused this.
Hopefully they would get some answers when they woke up.
Regina was seated in the room now.
Eyes red from tears shed for days on end, praying that this would be the last day they would be unconscious. Her prayers were answered when Henry shot up in his bed, breathing heavily.
Regina jumped from her chair and held his shoulder "Henry!"
His gaze snapped to her "Mom? What happened?"
"You're alright now. You're safe"
Henry grunted in pain and held tightly to his shoulder. He screamed, and fell back into the bed screaming.
"Henry! Henry what's wrong?! Help! I need help!"
She hovered over her son, desperately trying to figure out what was wrong but she was pulled away out of the room by Frankenstein.
"What's happening?!"
Emma's voiced floated down the hall followed by David's "Regina! What did you do?!"
"Me! I did nothing! Do you think I would hurt my own son?!"
P.O.V. Change
Watcher was roused from her sleep by someone screaming.
'Never a good thing to wake up to'
She opened her eyes and looked beside her.
Henry was pinned into his bed by two nurses and Frankenstein was examining Henry's left shoulder.
She sat up to get a better look and swore under her breath.
Henry's shoulder was red and slightly swollen, but what caught her attention was the newly formed swirling tattoo like feature that swelled around his shoulder.
She was immediately on her feet and pushing the Doctor out of the way.
"Henry, look at me"
She held his face in her hands "It's gonna be okay"
She placed a hand on his shoulder and felt the Nanos calm under her cool touch.
"I need you to sit up, so I can see the extent of the damage"
He did as was told and Watcher noted that it was only around his left shoulder and shoulder blade and creeped up the back of his neck a little.
She lifted the sleeves on her gown and found that the Nanos from her right shoulder and accidentally transferred into Henry. In its place was a large bandage.
She noticed Dr Frankenstein was holding her up.
"I need my Harb. The rectangular thing with the screen"
Frankenstein motioned for someone to get her effects.
She sat down next to Henry and pushed his hair back from his now sweating face.
"It's gonna be alright Henry"
"What's happening?!" Frankenstein whispered.
"It seems some of my Nanos have inadvertently transferred into Henry. The same reaction happened to me when I got them. He's going through the motions, so to speak. But I can settle them somewhat using my Harb"
The nurse returned with the Harb and Watcher took it quickly.
She pressed some buttons that appeared on the screen and scanned it over Henry's body. His screams turned into heavy pants.
Watcher observed her sister and Henry's family staring in at the window.
"I'll stay with him. I know what's going on. I can look after him if anything else happens. Don't let them in" she ordered Frankenstein, pointing to the others staring in.
Frankenstein nodded at Watchers words and left with the other Nurses. The last person shutting the door behind them.
Watcher gently wiped Henry's head with the bed sheets and sat down on the bed next to him, stroking his hair.
"You okay now buddy?"
Henry nodded "What happened?"
"It seems I may have inadvertently transferred some of my Nanos into you" she pulled up the left sleeve of his gown to show him his new tattoo.
She lay down next to him, looping an arm around his shoulders and pulled him into her
"It shoulder be less painful now. If there's any more pain, just tell me"
"Why would they transfer to me in the first place?" he asked.
She breathed in and sighed it out "Nanos only transfer when A Watcher dying or is injured to the extent were the Nanos are damaged. When this happens they have to find a new host so they can repair themselves. Obviously I'm still here and you were the only logical choice at the time. The good thing about it now is that we're connected. At first it'll seem physical for example, if you fall and gash your knee, I'll get the gash too. We'll be able to control it soon enough"
"You said at first. What'll happen later?"
"Later, when we can control it, we'll be able to say...locate each other. We'll be able to see into the others memories and see what they see. So I'll always be able to find you" she explained to him.
He enjoyed the thought of someone always being able to find him, although he knew that his family would always look for him if he went missing.
Then he remembered the flashes of images that passed before his eyes.
"Before I passed out, there were images, flashes. You were in them and there was another person. There were voices too. You were hiding something. And some guy was screaming that you stole something"
Watcher looked down at her lap, a sad, guilty look flitting across her features, but it disappeared quickly and was replaced with a blank expression. "Did your mum ever tell you about how I know all the stuff I know?"
"She said you read it from some documents. Is that what you were hiding in the wall?"
Watcher nodded.
"I stole some different files from The Watcher Dimension and I brought them here with me to Storybrooke" Watcher admitted.
"The guy that you saw, his name is Greggson. He's an old acquaintance of mine. He was sent to retrieve the files and me. Rumplestiltskin has done something with him"
"What exactly are in those documents? They sound important if someone was sent after you"
"Nothing you need to worry about!" She stated forcefully.
Henry started at her voice but dropped the subject all the same.
Two days later and Henry was out of the hospital, but Watcher was kept for observation.
It was a Saturday and Henry waited until Emma and David had gone out on police work and Mary-Margaret had headed down to the hospital quickly to see Watcher. He was supposed to be on his way to Granny's but he was still inquisitive about the conversation he'd had with his young Aunt.
A lot had happened in two days. Mary-Margaret had headed out to the woods the morning Watcher was in hospital and found Pinocchio, entirely wooden, in a beat up caravan.
And his dad's fiancé, Tamara, had come to Storybrooke.
Henry reached the Mills Mausoleum in record time and proceeded down into the Vault.
In the visions, he'd seen Watcher hide the documents in the wall. Behind her he'd seen the mirror that hung on the wall at the base of the hall. So he knew which wall, but now he needed to figure out which brick was hiding the treasure he sought.
She was taller than him, so he had to take that into consideration as well.
He pushed against the bricks that looked loose until one finally moved some. He had to find something to manoeuvre it out. Unfortunately finding nothing, he resulted to using his fingernails to get a grip and pull it out.
It took some time but he eventually managed it with only a few scrapes to his fingers. He stood on tip toe to reach into the hole and draw out what he was looking for, a large manila envelope sealed with blue wax and an emblem.
The seal was already broken, but he could clearly see the decorative W embedded in the wax.
He looked around him, half expecting one of the Mills sisters to appear beside him.
He opened the envelope and pulled out the papers inside. His eyes quickly registered exactly what it was that he was holding.
'Once Upon A Time...just like my book! But there's my name on the first page'
He tore his eyes away from the page in front of him to share a terrified expression with his reflection.
