It was good to be back.
The Black Widow breathed in the fresh air in the comfort of her armory around her as she stretched her neck to the side feeling the satisfying crack come from it as she felt some relief from the tension she had been carrying around. She'd been holding too much stress lately. All because of that damn blonde savoir. She should've killed her a long time ago along with the piss poor excuse for a royal prince.
She felt a new sense of newfound purpose as she felt the crackling energy from the threshold of her armory. Closing her hand into a tight fist she sent it towards the barrier only for it to bounce back against the invisible barrier.
"Fuck!" she yelled at the invisible seal the stopped any advancement. The Evil Queen had trapped her. If she had any chance of getting out it would have to be by the Queen herself.
With a huff she stomped back into the to the array of weapons before catching herself in a mirror hanging up on the wall, grimacing at the sight that reflected met her, her hand instantly reached up to her straight hair that went down to her shoulders.
"Gods" she grimaced as she saw what greeted her back "What the hell have I done to my hair?" she groaned out in disgust "I'll have to fix that" she said to the mirror grabbing a long dagger on the table in front of her and pulling her hair up ready to cut it only to stop when she heard a voice coming from down the hall.
"Ugh! Sealed in my own vault?!" she heard the Queen's voice echo throughout the vault.
Looking into the mirror as the corner of her mouth quirked up in a devilish smirk as she eyed the black and purple robes in the cabinet in the reflection.
"Hello Queenie".
John Smith had never thought so clearly in his life as he did know. All his problems with Amelia, his son, his life was all one person's fault
Robin of Locksley.
He took advantage of her when she was mourning him and slept with her. Tom looked to Robin as more of a father than he did and he was the one who sent a curve-ball into his and Amelia's marriage by telling her he was in love with her.
He was out to kill the man that he used to call his friend, and no one was going to stop him.
"Re-giiii-na" the red head drawled out tauntingly through the corridor's "Re-giiii-na" she taunted again "Come out, come out wherever you are Queenie" her voice carried through the vault waiting for the heeled shoes of the Evil Queen slowly approaching the threshold of her armory to see the Black Widow back in her full glory in her black and purple robe's, the ones that symbolized her loyalty to the Queen back home. Her gauntlets resting on her arms and her throwing knives were strapped to her torso ready to be thrown at any moment, she casually leaning against the stone threshold with folded arms over her chest.
"Hello Widow" the Evil Queen gloated at the trapped woman with a wicked smile that would set her stomach a flutter any other day, but now she could only wait to find out what her mouth looked like with her blade in it.
"Nice costume change" the Widow greeted the woman as her eyes racked up the length of the Queen, she knew this dress very well "Did you choose that dress especially for me, sweetheart? You know how much I enjoyed taking that particular dress off".
"I'm glad you like it" she replied in a sweet voice holding the heave train as the paced in front of the threshold "At least you'll get to gaze upon something pleasing to your eye before I take your life" she continued the Black Widow watch as the face fell from sweetness to sourness as she threw a ball of fire towards the Assassin only to hit the invisible without making the red head flinch
"What?" Regina exasperated in disbelief looking down at her hands in annoyance and disbelief she couldn't touch the woman that had hurt her over the years.
"Performance issues sweetheart? Because it's not that common, you know 5 in –"Regina interrupted the Assassin's nonsense as she sent a much bigger angrier fireball that managed to evaporate the barrier between the Assassin and Queen.
Jumping back from the threshold the assassin hidden blades sprung out from there place as the Queen slowly walked into the room, playing right into the Master Assassin's plan all too easily. With a predatory look on her face the assassin took slow steps backwards making the woman in front of her come further into the room.
"I've waited a long time for this. I'm finally going to get my revenge for betraying me".
"Not today, honey. I have bigger fish to gut that your's" Amelia stated before she sprang forward towards the Queen. The Evil Queen threw out another fireball at the redhead only to miss as the woman dropped down onto the floor a slid across the floor between the Queen's leather clad leggings, through the cape to the dress catching the Queen's ankle on her way through taking it from under her making her fall forward.
Catching herself from her face meeting the stone floor, a growl emerged from the back of her throat, she whirled around on her back to see the assassin back on her feet on the other side of the archway casually tightening the leather gauntlets on her forearms.
"Sorry to cut this meeting short but I have a people see, people to kill. I know you understand" the red head tell her but the Queen didn't let the woman get too far as she raised her hand in their air followed by the hundreds of sharp and blunt objects around her. Her face growing in a wicked grin as she threw her hand forward with malice sending all the weapons the assassin stored in the room towards the red head.
The woman quickly ducked down as a large mace hit the wall behind her where her face was weaving and dodging all the knives and daggers that came her way, however she wasn't quick enough to move out the way of a long knife sliced through her arm before cluttering to the floor with its friends.
"Funny" she gritted through the pain on her arm "Your sister liked it rough too".
"Arrghh! I'll kill you!" the Queen roared as she pushed herself up from the floor and lunged at the redhead. She couldn't afford for the Queen to use her magic against her knowing it was a losing battle from the start as she ran forward to catch the Queen halfway and use her shoulder to send the angry brunette onto the floor ending up on the Queen herself, their face's mere inches from another, green eye locked on brown as the assassin trapped the Queen's head between her hands as she hovered over her queen.
"Now that wasn't smart" she teased the Queen as she felt the tip of one of her blade pressing against where her heart was.
She didn't get a chance to say much as else when she felt a rough hand on the back of her head she felt her head being harshly pulled down until her lips collided with the Queen's in a messy kiss, that was quickly righted by the assassin as she took the blade away from the brunette's heart as she melted into the embrace. The Queen heard the blade slip back into place as the redhead's hand started to explore the bottom of her corset knowing exactly where the tie was to undo it.
As the assassin became distracted as her soft lips left her's, creating a trail heated kisses down her exposed neck the Queen's clawed hand rose up and above the assassin's head as she summoned another fireball into her hand, ready to send it into the woman's skull only to have pushed back onto the ground by a gloved hand by the woman above her, extinguishing the ball of fire.
Brown eye's met green as the Queen looked into the Widow's lustful eye's as the latter pulled out of the distracting kiss "That wasn't nice" the redhead lightly scolds the woman beneath her.
"Brief Pause. Can we get back to killing each other part later?" the redhead suggests with a raised brow as her voice became hoarse paired with a teasing smile that always made the Queen's stomach flutter.
Turning the tables on the assassin, she forced the redhead on her back, straddling her waist as she grasped the woman's chin with her fingers, her nails digging uncomfortably into the pale tender skin, making the assassin hiss in a mixture of pain and pleasure.
"As long as we're quick" the Queen stated before forcefully pulling the red head lips up to hers into a heated kiss. A hiss of pain escaped her lips making the Queen pull away to see blood welt up on her bottom lip from Amelia's sharp teeth.
"No promises" the redhead tells her pushing the woman back onto the floor as she finds the entrance to the corset of the dress once again.
Finding his way through main street to find the source of his anger, the former captain saw everyone fighting each other. Dwarf against dwarf, friend against friend, neighbor against neighbor.
Curling his fist, he walked into the chaos to be ran at by a brave dwarf, with a swift punch to the dwarf's jaw the Captain sent the dwarf to the cold hard ground unconscious to carry on his search for the man that ruined his life.
That when he saw him. Robin holding is crossbow as he fought against the large form of Little John.
"LOCKSLEY!" the voice distracted the thief enough for Little John to land a punch on his friend and leader, making him stumble back a few steps only to regain his footing to face his oldest friend bearing down on him from the other side of the street. Holding up his crossbow the thief aimed true at the Captain's head and pulled the trigger.
Thinking quick, the Captain snatches up the circular metal lid of a garbage can, holding it out in front of him like a shield meeting the bolt in the air and stopping it's flight catching it in the material. With the fist bolt stopped he stepped forward holding the shield up against to catch another bolt and another until he was a foot away from the thief.
"I can do this all day" John say's before throwing his 'shield' towards the thief's head, starting a battle he's been wanting to start ever since Amelia told him about them.
After failing to cut the ribbons off their wrist from something from Gold's shop Emma and Elsa ran to the graveyard to the vault at a last-ditch attempt to get them off.
"Okay, stand back" Emma warned the Ice Queen as they came to the mausoleum picking up a rock from the grass she threw it at the stone building only for the rock to bounce back off the spell that surrounded the crypt "Containment spell" she observed rubbing her hands together in preparation "Okay. Here goes" taking a stance the savior held up her hands, palms facing the stone building, only for nothing to happen.
"You can do it" the Ice Queen encouraged her from behind.
Emma tried again holding her hands up at the crypt this time closing her eyes in concentration and used her magic to successfully take the barrier down "Well, I'm still getting the hang of the controlling the magic thing. But lucky for us, the next part should be easy for me".
"What's that?".
"Be prickly" she tells Elsa before they both head into the mausoleum to face the Evil Queen head on.
Entering the vault, she was met by Regina sat with a book in a long elegant dress "Whoa. Little late for Halloween" she greeted the Evil Queen in surprise.
"You" the Queen snarled out as she stood to face the savoir that had ruined everything for her at every corner.
"How do you walk in that thing?" Emma asked the woman.
"With the poise and composure of a Queen" Regina answered them, the blonde pair heard footsteps behind them making them whirl around to see Amelia in a set of dark Assassin robes that matched her now darker persona of the Black Widow. From one glance they could see her armed with swords and small knives that sat on her waistline and her leather braces that housed her hidden blade on her forearms "Perfect timing, Miss Swan. I was just reading up on how to turn you into a garden topiary" the Queen tells her as blonde carefully eye's the redhead.
"What's she doing here?" Amelia glowered from behind them looking at Elsa who was taken about how her old friend now acted.
"I wanted to see your face when you both learned the truth" Emma said to the Black Widow and the Queen.
"The truth about what exactly Swan?" the Widow asked from behind her as Elsa held up a hand in warning to her old friend she didn't recognize in the dark robe, as the savoir looked straight at the Evil Queen.
"I lied to you Regina, about John" she tells her "I knew all along. I brought him here on purpose".
"Tell me something I don't know" Regina replied with venom lacing her voice.
"What you don't know is why" Emma carried on "Not only did I wanna break your heart, I wanted to see me and Hook together, see the happiness you could never have, and ruin it again, just like my mother did" Emma heart jumped into her throat as heard the distinct hissing sound of Amelia's hidden blades flicking out of her bracers.
"I've been waiting a long time for this" Regina seethed out in anger as she shoots a fireball on Emma and Elsa. The Widow could only watch as the savior did something rather odd, as she grabbed Elsa's hand up with her's as the fire destroys the ribbons that were tied to their wrists.
Seeing this, the assassin went to attack the pair as a burst of light magic emitted from the savor's hands sending the magic either side of her so that it hit the Queen sending back further into the room she was stood in only for the assassin to quickly crossing over both her blades in a 'X' making the magic deflect over her head as her feet her forced to slide back, the assassin forcing herself to stay on her feet as the last of the burst of magic quickly disperse as she sharply uncrossed them.
Wide eyed Emma and Elsa saw that the assassin had managed to stay on her feet looking straight at them.
"Run" was the only thing the redhead said to them before the pair of blonde's ran up the stone steps as the Queen pulls herself off the ground to head straight of the exit with her Widow following close behind.
"Swan!" The Evil Queen and Black Widow screamed into the night as they set out to kill the woman who started all their problems.
She liked a good hunt.
He had no idea how long he had been locked inside the room until he groggily woke up on his side in the middle of the hall. Fighting through the fog that clouded his mind, his feet stumbled towards the set of doors only to find they had been locked as he tried to pull them apart.
A scream of frustration left his mouth as he tried to think of way to get out of the prison his own mother had left him in. His gauntlets had been taken away from him, he had no other weapon on him except from his fists and the strength he had built through his training with Amelia.
The fog seems to clear each time his closed fist met the hard glass pane that was encased in the wooden frame. Each time a scream of pain left his lips as the skin on his knuckles split open with the force he was hitting the glass. His breakthrough came when he started to see the glass crack and splinter like a spider's web.
With a one final punch, the glass gave away under his strength as his fist fell through the hole he had made as his hand screamed out in pain as he ignored pain to reach for the handle on the other side. At that moment he was thankful for the sleeping serum as it helped him not to feel too much of the shard cutting his hand as he using all his strength the pull the handle out of the door before pulling his hand back through.
Steadying his stance in front of the doors he rubbed the remaining sleep out of his eyes before kicking the door's open with force.
Glass crunched under his sneakers as he found his freedom again as he ran into the night. He struggled to think straight to who he should go for first. His mother, for abandoning him. Emma for tearing apart the family he was finding with Regina and Henry to be stuck with a complete stranger for a father. Or should he just go for him, he wasn't the man Amelia and Robin spoke of when they talked about him. He was a fraud looking to cause his family so much strain form his mere presence.
His dark thoughts came to abrupt end went something hit in the back of his shoulder, making him topple over slightly before finding his footing again. Looking up he saw the source of his stumble to see a familiar navy coat run away from him. Seeing red the teen growl out as he started his hot pursuit of his younger cousin and friend only get stopped as the back of his own coat is pulled back by a sharp hook.
"Easy lad, your not going to hurt your mate" Hook says as he pulls the cursed teen back. He had his mother's anger that's for sure as he walked pass the broken set of doors on his way to run after Emma's son.
"Get off me you ass" Tom sat at him as he twists himself out of the pirates hook.
"Did your mother teach you that language?" the pirate scoffed at the teenager.
"It's your fault I was taken. I hate you!".
"This isn't you talking lad" he tried to simmer the teenager down. Only to infuriate him more.
"You ruined my life" he said before jabbing his left fist into the pirates side making him double up in pain before straightening up to sock him in the jaw with his bloodied hand Grabbing the pirates face he dragged it down to meet his knee half way.
Leaving the pirate a little dazed the pirate tried to lash out widely throwing his fist towards at the teen to try and knock him out only for the the novice assassin to duck under his fist. Tom rose up again as he sent one final punch into the pirates face before swiping his ankle out from under him. The pirate lurched forward before he felt Tom's foot stomp onto his back, making him fall face first into the dirt.
The pirate groaned in pain as the teen ran after his little cousin as he pushing himself onto his back.
"Bloody demon child" he cursed to the sky as his back throbbed out in pain.
The first place the Evil Queen and Black Widow went to hunt down and kill the Savior was her office in the sheriff's station, the pair ran to the office door only to find it empty, as the Widow stopped herself on the desk while the Queen stopped herself on the door-frame.
"Ugh! She's not here" Regina growled pushing herself of the doorway in frustration.
Looking out of the office window the redhead saw four very familiar people in the bullpen. Seeing Elsa's younger sister, Anna rocking a baby stroller, Kristoff handcuffed to a desk while Tweedle-dee and dumb locked the cells making her chuckle darkly to herself "I think I've found something much more to your liking, Your Majesty".
The Queen looked at the redhead in confusion before she directed her gaze to the bull-pen of the station. The group froze seeing both the Evil Queen and Black Widow in the station with them, with the only person who broke out in a wide excited smile.
"Lia!" Anna exclaimed in glee seeing the redhead that helped save her sister three decades ago "I can't believe it's you, Elsa said you where here but- " Anna began to ramble only to get interrupted by her old friend.
"Shut up Annie" Amelia suddenly snaps at her "Or you'll find your tongue on the floor" she says as a hidden blade slips out of her wrist. Silently warning her to keep her mouth shut. Anna clamped her lips together to stop anymore words to escape her mouth.
Amelia was meaner than she remembered.
"Well, well, well. Isn't this my lucky day?" Regina drawled as the pair stepped forward with the redhead stepping out of the office "We had come here to kill Emma, but now I get to kill the two idiots who started it all".
"Hey, I wasn't the one that told Cora about your secret boyfriend" David quickly defended himself.
Mary Margaret looked at her husband in disbelief "Are you selling me out?".
"Shut up!" The Queen interrupted her whine "You both deserve to die. Not just for what you did, but for your whining. But your punishments should fit your crimes" the Queen tells the couple before turning to Mary Margaret "Mary Margaret, you took my first true love from me. Now I'm going to return the favor by taking your baby".
"No! Regina!" the couple protested as the Queen approached the stroller only to be stopped by a gloved hand on her shoulder, the Queen turned to be met by the evil smirk that covered the redhead's face.
"Let me have him" she asked the woman referring to the Prince in his own cell "I'll be more than happy to bring you Prince Charming's head on a platter".
"Urgh" Mary Margaret made a noise of disgust at redhead snap their head towards the Princess "Don't you get tired of being up her ass all the time".
Amelia's mouth quirked up in half a smile "You should try it sometime Snow, its quite enjoyable".
"Well at least we all know now you have a type" David added making the woman look at him "Dark hearted and evil to the core. Especially if they're related" he snipes at her making her hostility step forward towards the Prince only for Anna to pushed her back.
"Please, Your Majesty. Amelia. let's be reasonable" Anna pleads to the pair "You're under the Snow Queen's spell. You don't actually hate Mary Margaret and David".
"It does sound like she has her reasons" Kristoff spoke up before looking at the redhead "Hey Natasha" he greeted her with a wave "Lied to anyone else recently?".
"Kristoff!" his fiancee quickly scolds him.
"Only to idiots like you, reindeer man" the redhead quickly snipes at him.
"Hey! Keep Sven out of this!" he barked at her.
"Bite me Ice Picker!".
"I don't know who you are" the Queen started interrupting her Widow looking at the couple "but why don't you go back to where you came from?" with a wave of her hands the couple were engulfed in purple smoke and disappeared leaving the stroller with the infant inside sleeping peacefully "Now. Where were we?".
The Queen magically opens both cells freeing the couple as the Widow moved to zero on onto the Prince "Gonna use your magic, Regina?" Mary Margaret challenged the Queen "You afraid to get your hands dirty?".
"I don't need magic to kill you" the Queen says as she gives Mary Margaret a sword while a longer sword appeared her own hands "Magic is too good for you. I want to watch you bleed".
Crossing her arms across her body the Black Widow unsheathed both her her cutlass swords, tossing one to David who easily caught the sword with his sword arm "Ready for round two Shepherd? I'm gonna enjoy cutting out those pretty eye's. I'll give them to your daughter as a gift before I cut her throat open".
"Your on" he growled out before rushing at the assassin.
The fight in the middle of Main Street continued without any outside forces as John and Robin continued to throw punch after punch through evident fatigues they started to slow the pair down. Bruises and blood on the men's hands and face's showed that this wasn't a fight anyone was going to get out of alive.
The crossbow and temporary shield had been discarded and forgotten about as they used their strength and stamina against each other. The pair came together again sending their fists into each other's face's, the blow sent both tired men to the floor clenching their face's as pain flowed through the nerves the men look back at each other as the town continued to fight around them.
"You stole everything from me" John said through the pain in his jaw, he felt the dried blood on his upper lip from when his nose was hit "My wife, my son, what else do you want from me".
"I never stole her from you" Robin tells the man "You died!".
John shook his head in denial "You're my friend" he huffed out.
"Do you know how ridiculous you sound mate?" John scoffed at the man as he made himself stand up with the help of a parked car as Robin struggled to stand up straight "Have you ever thought how happy she was before you showed up here, she has a family she's been searching for her whole life, she found a life after you, it may have taken darkening her heart but it was worth the pain".
"You're wrong" John growled out balling up his fist again and swinging it towards the thief only for the letter to easily duck under the offending arm allowing the thief to sweep a leg under the Captain's foot making him topple over heavily onto the ground. After a second the wave of dizziness John rolled onto his back for the thief to take a fistful of his shirt and pull his torso off the ground.
"When Amelia found me in the Forest again, she was a broken woman barely functioning as a human being. She's blamed herself for so long for what happened to you. She moved on. Albeit not with me, but she did. You can't keep her living in the past".
John paused even through his hate fill haze taking in his friend's words before he swallowed the bitter pill that was the truth, before meeting his friends eyes and nodded before swiftly sending his forehead into the thief's nose making the thief let the Captain fall back onto the ground clutching his now bleeding nose and falling onto the ground next the blonde man, one holding his forehead and the other his now broken nose.
"Can we take a break?" Robin panted out from the ground as he laid exhausted from the fight.
"Okay" John readily agreed as his body ached in way it hadn't for a good decade.
Metal clashed with metal as the two battle's inside the sheriff's station ensued. The Queen and Snow White and The Black Widow and Prince Charming's swords met in a clank of metal as they swung at their opponent. David swung his cutlass at the Assassin making her jump back from the sharp weapon, while the Queen threw Mary Margaret on the desk next to the infant who hadn't made a peep during the fighting around him.
"Careful!" David called out to his wife as he kept the Widow in her heels "The stroller's not under warranty anymore!".
Mary Margaret look at her husband as Amelia sent her sword back at the Prince "You said you bought it new!".
"It was gently used!"
Using the distraction the redhead slipped under the prince's wide stance, quickly getting back on to her feet before sending a hard foot into his backside making the Prince stumble forward onto his front as she stood over him. He quickly turned to sit up to face the Assassin with the tip of his sword at his face.
"Cheap shot!".
"Pathetic" the Widow spat at the Prince "You fought better with your daughter in your arms".
David let out a growl as he lunged at the woman wrapping his arms around her waist to send her onto the floor with him on top of her, only for the Assassin to quickly use his momentum against him she pushed her feet into the man's stomach, making him tip over her and into the cell bars.
"Hey!" the redhead heard a shrill yell form her left to see Mary Margaret swing the sword towards her only to be met with Regina's long sword and push the blade back only for the Princess to swing her sword wildly at the Queen only to keep missing.
"Let me know when you're tired of missing, Mary Margaret" the queen seethed at the Princess with her back on the cell David was kept in.
"I only have to hit you once. Uhh!" Mary Margaret went for the Queen once again onto to be pushed across the room. Amelia turned just in time to defend herself from another attack from the Prince easily parrying him away,
"Come on Shepherd, you can do better than that" she baited him before he went onto the offensive again, both clashed with their sword this time as the assassin lacked the strength the Prince had as her sword was forced out of her hand, the sword clanging to the floor out of her reach.
With a swift hard kick tot he man unprotected stomach she pushed him back against the bars just as Mary Margaret had manged to hold Regina in a choke hold next to him as a quick thinking David held the Queen's arm against the bars forcing her sword out of her own grasp.
"Your not much without your sword" David grinned at the Assassin as he held her Queen.
"Wrong again" Amelia told the Prince as she threw a small throwing knife into his forearm making him let the Queen go and drop his sword as he clutched the injured arm in pain just as the Queen forcibly push Mary Margaret off her into the bars next to her husband, retreating back to her Widow who was stood next to the stroller.
"Argh!" he screamed out seeing small but lethal knife in his arm "Hey no knives!".
"My, my" The Queen gently cooed into the stroller stroking the infants cheek Aren't you a good a sleeper?".
"You think this spell has made me angry?" the Princess asked the Queen and her Assassin "Do NOT wake my baby!" Mary Margaret ran at the Queen with her sword up to push herself and the Queen over a desk.
David took the opportunity to pull the small knife out of his forearm and pick his sword back up and attack the distracted Assassin. Swinging his sword towards the woman he was taken aback when his sword was met by a long silver blade and being easily parried away.
Taking a second look at the assassin, she seemed more dangerous than just minutes ago holding a long dagger in her hand and venomously looking at the Prince before he went for the attack.
In break neck speed the Assassin had manged to step forward and catch the Princes sword arm in hers before sending her foot in his stomach once again forcing him to drop the sword. In a flurry of attack the Assassin swung the dagger toward him only for him to block her every move with his hands and arms.
At one point he swore he saw her drop the dagger mid air making it spin before catching it again as they heard Mary Margaret push the Evil Queen into the glass wall of the sheriff's office.
The assassins head snapped towards the commotion to give David a chance to hit her square in the jaw before grabbing her and throwing her in the cell bars before running at her landing a knee into her chest making her drop the weapon, she quickly recovered to block David's fist and use the other to send into his face before grabbing his neck and pushing him over the same desk Mary Margaret had sent her queen over, with the infant undisturbed to see the princess being magically thrown across the floor of the station.
"You said no magic" the Princess whined at her former stepmother.
"And you said you could keep a secret!" The Queen retorted angrily.
"I... Was... 10!" Mary Margaret screamed at eh woman getting up from the ground with her sword to attack the Queen again.
As she breathed through the ache in her chest from David's knee, she saw the Prince pull himself up from the other side of the desk making the Assassin chuckle to herself as he lent on the desk heavily with a bleeding lip and staggered out from behind the desk to face her "You don't' give up do you?".
"I could do his all day" he answered laughing at the assassin meeting the woman in the middle to continue their fight.
After their brief interlude John and Robin continued their one on one fight in the middle of the street. The men used their fists against one another in a fight that saw no clear victor. John used his superior strength to throw the thief around against, other people, car's and wall's. While Robin used his slightly small structure to evade the Captain's hit's.
The wind suddenly howled with a flurry of snow washed over the residents of Storybrooke that seemed to signal the end of the curse of Shattered Sight lifted.
The squared off men suddenly froze as the angry haze lifted off them stopping John from landing a punch on the thief face as he felt a great weight lift from his chest making him pause and see the damage he had made on his oldest friends face, bruises were growing around his eye and jaw as dried blood covered his face from the cuts across the bridge of his nose.
Lowering his fist he instead held his hand out to his friend on the ground who look it without hesitation pulling the Captain into a tight brotherly embrace, before pulling away to face the man his wife had fallen in love with, when her whole world fell apart.
"I'm sorry" John exasperated to his friend as he caught his breath.
"I know mate, I'm sorry too" a tight smile grew on Johns face before pulling Robin into another hug that went envied by everyone else on Main Street.
Elsewhere Tom had finally caught up to his younger cousin grabbing the back of his coat before forcefully dragging the twelve year-old onto the ground onto to be dragged down himself, the pair tumbling across the ground as they tried to get the better of the other Their small skirmish came to an end as snow fell around them as they fell onto their backs watching the snow fall from the sky.
In the station the Widow held David in a tight choke-hold around his neck with the end of one of her hidden blades poised at his neck as Mary Margaret was on Evil Queen's back as they heard a whoosh as the curse lifted from the room.
Pushing the Mary Margaret off her back Regina whirled around to see Amelia letting David go of his neck as her hidden blades slid back into place into her gauntlets as they stood up straight to look at Mary Margaret and Regina who were looking at them in a mix of relief and confusion
The former Widow and Queen looked each other as they took in each other's appearances. Regina in her royal dress and Amelia in her assassin robes.
"What are you wearing!?" Regina and Amelia exclaimed in unison looking at the other's attire.
Laughter bubbled from the former Princesses throat after a beat of silence had fallen onto the group before the other three joined in forgetting about the fight that had wrecked the bullpen.
With a quick wardrobe change and couple of healing spells later. Amelia, Regina, Mary Margaret and David made their way down main street with Neal in his stroller as snow continued to fall around them.
Storybrooke was once again back to peace as the former assassin eyes saw the image she had been waiting to see since Elsa arrived. Her and Anna arm in arm once the pair of sisters the redhead smile grew wider as they saw her. Rushing forward the assassin ran past the blonde as she found her parents.
"Amelia!" the sister's exclaimed in unison seeing the redhead coming towards them. The pair eagerly wrapped their arms in a three-way embrace. The sisters held the former assassin close to them as Amelia buried her head between theirs as they took a shoulder each, the same way they hugged the woman just as she was leaving Arendelle with her new husband
"I'm sorry Anna" the older redhead told the younger one as they held.
"It's okay. Elsa explained everything, I mean you looked really scary in those clothes-"Amelia squeezed the younger woman extra tight to make her squeak to stop her rambling.
"Shut up Annie" Amelia breathed out before the three of them laughed. Only something was missing from this group hug. Or someone"Wait" Amelia says pulling away from the pair of sisters as the redhead held both their hands in hers "Where's Kristoff?".
"Oh, I kind of knocked him out on the beach" Anna tells them "We should probably go get him soon".
"I'm sure he'll be fine" the older redhead shrugged at them before two pairs of footsteps quickly round the street corner. Whirling around she see's Tom and Henry appear with bruises and cuts covering their faces.
"Mom!" Tom threw himself into his mother's arms who happily took her son in a loving embrace holding her son tight to her chest.
"Who's that?" she heard Anna quietly ask her sister seeing the strange teenager call Amelia his mom. Elsa quickly whispered the answer into her sisters's ear as Anna's face lit up.
"They have a son!".
"What the hell happened!?" she suddenly heard Regina exclaim seeing the welts on Henry's face and cut lip. She turned to see Amelia and Tom to see just as much damage made to Tom's face as Henry.
"We're fine Mom" Henry reassure his mother as he went to Emma to hug her.
"What did you do to your hand?" she asked her son as she saw the deep cuts on his fist.
"I broke the doors" he confesses to his mother "Also I think, I might've beaten Hook up a little bit" Tom quickly confesses to his mother as she inspects his right hand.
"Everyone has eventually, don't sweat it" the redhead quickly brushes his concern off.
"Dad!" Tom suddenly yelled out seeing his father and Robin Hood join the celebrations making the former assassin whirl around to see the evidence of their heated fight during the curse. Her heart dropped to her stomach seeing the dried blood that covered both their hands as well as their faces.
"Shit" she whispered the curse out as she stepped towards the pair only for a shrill voice to stop her.
"John!" Anna exclaimed excitedly pulling away from her sister she threw herself into the man's arms.
"Anna" John breathed in relief seeing his old friend that he had spent so much time with in Arendelle "It's good to see you" he replied politely letting the younger redhead jumped out of his arms.
"I can't believe you're here! I mean I can, but I,.. oh my god your hair is so short" she suddenly changed the subject looking at his more modern haircut.
Clearing her throat the older redhead gained the Princess's attention making her look back to her with her arm's across her chest, waiting patiently to speak to her own husband.
"Right not important, I should let you get back to your family" she tell him before seeing the brown haired teenager that had hugged Amelia "I still can't believe you have a son, he looks so grown up and he looks just like you…".
"Thank you, Anna" Amelia dismissed the young woman approaching her husband and friend as the Princess scurried back to Elsa who was chuckling to herself at the interaction.
"She's still scary" Amelia heard Anna whisper to her sister as went back to the main group.
Amelia looked between her husband and friend seeing all the injured they had given to each other "I guess you two talked it out?".
"We did" Robin answered for the pair.
Amelia met her husband's eye's in a silent question "We can talk about it later" he said before she turned back to the main group to see the Charming couple in a passionate embrace as Henry came to her, giving her a hug that she returned.
Stepping back from the embrace she kept her arm around his waist as they walked back other's to continue the small victory against as worthy foe as the Snow Queen.
Is was good to be back.
