(Before I start, I would like to thank again to everyone for the good reviews, for favoriting and following this story. To be honest, I am not sure how I remembered this Adda, since he is probably one of the most minor characters of the show, but when I did, I realized this could be a great story. I actually had another name for him, but apparently he already had one. Not sure how, since Merlin doesn't mention it in that scene, but I decided to go for what IMDB and the Once Upon A Time Wiki told me, and named him Adda too. One of the points of this story is also solve some plot holes the show left umexplained, and hopefully you guys will realize that when you finish this chapter. Hope you guys enjoy this one, and please keep reviewing. Good or bad, I would love to know your thoughts about this story.)

Regina woke up feeling refreshed. The previous night had been very long and very frustrating and a good night sleep definitely helped. Well, technically it was a good day sleep, because when Regina woke up she realized it was 11 am. She got up quickly and headed downstairs. There was still so much to do, but of course the most important one was go check on the newest member of Storybrooke. Regina was headed to the kitchen when she heard a noise coming from there. Could it be Adda? Maybe. Regina was definitely not taking any chances and ignited a fireball in her hand.

"Zelena!" Regina said relived after she saw it was only her sister "You scared me. Don't sneak in here like that."

"I didn't sneak in, I live here remember? When I got here this morning you were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you, so I went to my bed and when I woke up I decided to make breakfast, even though it is the middle of the afternoon." She said laughing.

Right. With everything that is going on, Regina totally forgot about her sister completely moving in. Zelena put the breakfast on the table: Bacon with eggs. "Thanks sis. I was starving." Regina said while she walked to the table and seated.

"Regina, you opened your home to me and Robin, you gave us a family. Making breakfast is really the least I can do." Zelena said sitting across from Regina.

"Speaking of which, where is Robin?" Regina asked finally remembering her little niece too. Sure having a baby at the house was great, but waking up every day in the past week to a baby crying isn't really as great as advertised. Maybe that was the reason why she wasn't remembering she and her sister lived together: She woke up peacefully for once.

"Oh, she is upstairs sleeping. She was very tired. Henry and Violet really did a number on her last night."

They ate breakfast as two sisters living together should, and of course, even talked about Adda and what that might mean for Storybrooke.

"But I don't understand." Zelena said somewhere during the conversation, "Shouldn't it all be over by now? You know, the book ended, Snow White gave her full hope speech, we group hugged... Shouldn't all that mean it is over?"

"Maybe." Regina made a small pause. "If Adda is really here for the landscape, then this doesn't change any of that." Regina said not wanting to consider the other possibility. "And speaking of which, I have to go try to check up on him." Regina cleaned her mouth with a napkin, got up and took her plate to the sink, ready to start cleaning it.

Zelena got up too. "You don't have to do that. Let me, since I am going to stay here anyway."

"You will?" Regina asked surprised. It wasn't like Zelena to skip these kinds of things, with or without magic.

"Of course I will. You know I am useless now. Plus, I have to stay here for when Robin wakes up."

"Oh, come on Zelena. You aren't useless. And don't use Robin as an excuse, we can totally call a babysitter." Regina really wanted to make her sister feel better. She was trying her best to do the right thing, and she could totally relate to that.

"No, it's fine. You can go." Zelena said pushing Regina away from the sink and starting to wash the plates.

"Are you sure?" Regina wanted to give her sister one last chance.

"Yes, go." Zelena said without looking at Regina.

"Ok then. I'll see you later." Regina waited a few more seconds, trying to give Zelena a third chance, but when it became clear she wasn't going to say anything else, she poofed away.

Zelena started doing the dishes, rubbing them a little harder than they actually had to, and when she finished, she was about to go upstairs to check up on Robin, when she heard a "Hello" behind her. Zelena jumped, surprised, turned around and saw Adda.

"You! What the hell are you doing here?" Zelena didn't try to run or hide because she knew it would be useless. She couldn't anything. Without her magic she was defenseless. If he wanted to kill her, then she would die, because she knew there was nothing she could do against Adda. And then it hit her, what if he wanted to kill Robin? Maybe she could never stop him, but if that was the case, Zelena would die before letting anything happen to her daughter. All of this went through her head in not a lot more than a couple seconds, but that moment in which everything was silent felt like hours to Zelena.

"Relax Zelena" Adda said starting to go near her "I am not here to hurt you, nor your daughter. I am here to help you protect both of you actually." He added before she could ask anything else.

"Just get out of here. I want nothing to do with you." Zelena turned around, like she didn't care about him at all.

"Are you sure?" Adda ignited a fireball, but his intentions, as he said, weren't to hurt Zelena, but to show her something.

Zelena totally felt what he meant. Her eyes widened as Adda ignited the fireball. Even though Zelena wasn't look at it, she knew exactly what it was. She turned to face Adda again, looking at the fireball in his hand. "No. It's not possible!"

"Oh, but it is Zelena." Adda said as the ball of fire illuminated his face with a green shade. "This is your magic. You didn't really think you destroyed it, did you? Well, actually you almost did, but luckily for you, I absorbed it before it was destroyed for good." Adda smiled at her and closed his hand, making the fireball disappear. "I can give you your magic back, if you want."

Zelena was still speechless about all that. She hadn't yet adjusted to a life without magic, but maybe she didn't have to anymore. But she knew Adda wouldn't just give it to her. There had to be strings attached, there always were. "What do you want in return?"

Adda's smile grew. He knew she would give in. He knew magic meant everything to her, and she would do just about anything to get it back. "Not much really. I simply want you to work for me."

"Work for you? No way. Why would I ever do something as foolish as that? Despite what Regina might believe about you, I know you are bad news. People like you don't come to places like this to live a normal life. Trust me, I know." Zelena secretly wanted to just yes, but she knew she couldn't betray her friends and specially, her sister.

"Maybe you're right, but let me put it like this: you don't have to agree to anything yet, let me just take you on a little trip." When he realized she wasn't going to say anything, Adda continued. "Come on, I know you want to. As I said, you don't have to agree to anything yet. And your sister doesn't have to know about it, of course."

Zelena struggled. She didn't want to go, she was trying to turn over a new leaf. It really felt good standing aside with the heroes in the final battle, and win. It really did. But Adda could give her her magic back, and she wanted that more than anything. Zelena never had many friends growing up. The only thing she could always count on, was her magic. She knew she had to get it back. "Fine, one trip. But the minute I start not liking things, you can't stop me from walking away."

Adda smiled. "Of course. A deal's a deal." He said raising his hand and poofing them both to another side of town.

Zelena, now with Robin in her arms, looked around. She had never seen that place before. She was about to ask where they were, when she heard a voice behind her.

"Adda. Finally, you're back." The voice said, bored.

Zelena turned around and saw her. She couldn't remember her name, but of course she recognized her. "You. I know you. Lucy, right?" Zelena kind of knew it wasn't Lucy, but she knew it was close.

"No, not Lucy." Adda started saying. "Zelena, meet my daughter. This is Lily."
