In the back room of the pawn shop, Amelia stood over David's cursed sleeping form with arms folded over her chest as she willed the man to wake up with the good news they were all waiting for.
The memory of the cold steel axe poised on the back of her neck, the chill that ran down her spine reminded her why they Prince was under the sleeping curse in the first place.
Cora.
Or known as her more colorful name in Wonderland. The Queen of Hearts.
Though his trips down into the burning room, he had found out that Regina's mother, was alive and well in the Enchanted Forest causing Emma and Mary Margaret trouble getting back to the Land of No Magic.
A sense of unease settled in the pit of her stomach as she thought of her first and last encounter with elder Mill's woman. She could still hear the sound of the woman's voice demanding to know something only the redhead knew, only to find out that the Dark One had the item she was trying to find. Something that would completely shift the power to one side if she ever got her hands on it.
In the meantime, as the Prince slept soundly in the back of the pawn shop, Amelia had been tasked to look after Henry. He'd spent most the evening with her in the loft, asking more questions about the Brotherhood, until he finally gave into the tiredness of the day, falling asleep on her shoulder like it was something he did all the time, finding comfort in her presence he needed while his Grandfather was unreachable.
He trusted her more than she thought he should.
But as she woke up that morning from a restless night on the sofa, her mind became focused on the man sleeping in front of her. Completely unaware of the mess he left behind in her head. The Sheriff's badge threw her off the most. If it came to it, would she be able to gain the support of the other residents to keep this town safe?.
He needed True Love's kiss. And his true love was in another realm.
The bell above the front door rang out followed by quick determined heeled footsteps that hit the wooden floor towards the back room until the reached their destination, to see her there already.
"Amelia" she greeted the red head in surprise "I didn't think you'd be here".
"Came to check on him for Henry" she informed the Mayor not taking her eye off the Prince for a second for any sign he might be waking up.
"And where is Henry now?" she curtly inquired with her former Widow.
"Under the close watch of Little Red and her Grandmother at the diner with a hot coco. Extra whip-cream" Amelia told the woman.
"And where has he been when he's not under their watchful eye?" Regina drawled. She had assumed that Henry would be coming back to the mansion since David was currently under her sleeping curse.
"At the loft where I've taken temporary residence of their couch".
"He's perfectly safe with me" she sniped at the redhead which made the woman take her eyes off the unconscious man, he wouldn't be going anywhere soon.
"Not with your mother on the horizon. If what you told me about her is true, you're the first person she'll visit" Regina knew she was right as her eye's went back to the sleeping man "Besides I gave him my word to keep an eye on him if anything went wrong".
A scoff left the woman's mouth at the redheads answer "Since when do you take orders from the shepherd?".
"Since he saved my life" Regina realized what she was talking about. Daniel. It was David that dragged her out of the stable. While she stood their gawking at her first love.
Not that she could blame her, she'd probably be doing the same thing if she saw John again.
Instead of waiting for the former Queen's retort, she a walked past the Queen back into the main shop with woman following closely behind her to find Gold there casully reading through a book on the counter.
"Any change?" he asked the women.
"None" Amelia answered, giving Regina another sideways glance.
Looking between the pair, the older man, not needing the redheads 'gift' to see the growing tension between the 'lover's' in front of him. He'd never bothered himself between the pair and what they got up to in the confines of the Queen's palace and bedchamber. It never got in the way of his plans, in fact it helped him in the long run as the former Queen had to use the Widow for the ingredient he needed for the woman to create the cure.
"Did I interrupt something?" he asks the pair.
"No" Amelia and Regina quickly responded in union as they both gave the other a sideways glance of annoyance before focusing on the man, that united them in the first place. If it hadn't been for him telling the assassin of Iago's place within the Queen's court, she'd still be wandering the Enchanted Forest with nothing to her name and a burning need for vengeance that would never be inflamed.
"He needs true love's kiss" Regina goes on "He won't wake up until Mary Margaret comes back".
"Until?" Gold asked, raising his eyebrows at the former Queen "Well, that's rather optimistic, isn't it?".
"As appose to what exactly?" Amelia asked the man.
"They're up against your mother" he reminded the Queen "The only chance Snow and Emma have of defeating her, is with the squid ink".
"Which is why you sent the message through David" Amelia reminded the man.
"Which would be beneficial, if we knew that message was delivered. But alas, given the Prince's condition, we don't know. As such, it's important we take precautions. We have to consider the possibility that, when that portal opens, it won't be his family that come through. It'll be Cora."
"And neither one of us wants that" Regina pointed out to her ol tutor.
"Alas all three of us won't want that" he retort's as he looks towards the redhead with a knowing grin"Isn't; that right Miss Montague?".
"What are you talking about?" Regina asked the older sorcerer looking between him and the red head in confusion.
"Shall I tell her or will you" Gold asked the assassin, who just continued to glare him out.
"Amelia?" Regina asked the red head who couldn't look at her then it suddenly dawned on the former Queen of what she did behind her back when they just able escaped Wonderland as it was. "You went back, didn't you?"
"Of course, she went back" Gold interrupted the Queen gaining her attention away from the assassin "You really think she'd let you get in the way of her own vengeance?" he says coming to Amelia's defense which took her aback slightly."But I'd hold onto that argument for the time being as we have to find where they're coming through, and destroy that portal".
Blinking back the angry tears that threatened to fall the Queen turned back to her old tutor at his suggestion as the man turned to walk away from the counter with the former Queen rounding it to follow him as the assassin did the same "But whoever came through would die".
"Exactly. But, I'm confident between the two of us, we can summon up enough magic to complete the task and Miss Montague will be able to deal with any surprises along the way".
"What if you're wrong?" Amelia spoke up "Snow and Charming have a habit of reuniting with the odds stacked against them, why would this be any different? What if Snow and Emma do defeat Cora and go through it?".
"Well, I believe in this world, they call that a win-win" Gold tells them.
"How is that exactly?" the former Queen questioned him.
"If we stop Cora, you are protected from Cora's wrath. If, on the other hand, we stop Snow and Emma, well… you become the only mother in your son's life, now don't you?" he tells his old student before glancing over to the redhead "And you, Miss Montague, would take the Sheriff's badge and be seen the hero to the entire town for taking on a position in such dire circumstance with the man's own blessing".
Glancing towards the Queen, the idea of her taking over the Sheriff's station did sound appealing to the redhead. She'd feel like she was in control again. But would she be able to look Henry in the eye and tell him she did everything she could to help his family.
"Look, magic is unpredictable in this world. If something unfortunate were to happen while you two were attempting to help… Henry could hardly blame you for that, could he?" the question was answered by the silence in the room.
"You're a sick old man aren't you" Amelia seethed at the man.
"No" Regina protested "I can't lie to him. I am trying to be a better mother".
"You won't be able to be a better anything if Cora comes through. And if she does, she will be a threat to everyone – including your son. So, if you truly want to be a good mother to Henry – to protect him – if you want to be better, prove it. Help me destroy the portal and end her for good".
Retrieving Henry from the diner the assassin settled the young eleven year old in the back with his storybook wanting to read to his sleeping grandfather as the feeling of unease in her stomach came back knowing what she was about to do. But she couldn't risk Cora getting through, as much faith as she had in the Princess, her fear of the Queen of Heart outweighed it tenfold.
She knew something about her that she would be able to use.
Once settled on a chair next to his cursed grandfather, the eleven-year old was eager to show the redhead that was looking after him what he had found in his storybook.
"Check this out Lia" he tells the woman gaining her attention that seemed to be on something else since she whisked him out of the diner to the pawn shop.
"What?" she asks him crouching down in front of him.
He'd seen her hundreds of times before but never made the connection with the woman in front of him as she was out of her familiar set of long robes. She thought this part of her life was barely touched on, she was surprised she didn't find it when she read through it.
"I found your story" he tells her with excitement in his eyes
"You did?".
"Have a look" he tells her turning the large book in his lap to show her the picture she recognized straight away. It was her wedding. Her first love, towered over her as they said their vow's hand in hand stood in a small chapel with only three people to witness their union. It felt like yesterday she promised to share her life with the first man she loved, she was barely nineteen at the time. And now more than a decade later she still felt the
"This is great, Henry" her voice quivered slightly as tears gathered shined in her eyes as her finger's brushed over the image of her first love "Thank you".
"Who was he?" Henry curiously asks her.
"His name was John" she gulped "He was a Captain, had his own ship. The Godspeed" she answered him with a watery sad smile. One that Henry saw straight away.
"What happened to him?" he asks her.
The redhead paused as she tried to find the right words to answer the boy in front of her as she knew Regina was only in the shop behind her possibly listening in on what she was about to say "He died" she finally tells him "A long time ago" she adds as her smile falters on her lips.
"Oh" he stuttered I'm sorry" he tells the redhead. Seeing how upset this made him the redhead quickly
"It's okay. We had four very happy years together".
"Is he why you became the Black Widow?" The question always played on his mind on why Amelia darkened her heart while she worked for his adopted mother.
"He's one of the reasons" she tells him "But that's not important now. I need to do something. Why don't you read David his story and I'll be back as soon as I can".
Henry nodded as the redhead stood back up before leaving a kiss on his forehead that was warmly received before turning to leave the boy reading Snow and David's story once again.
Walking into the shop she wasn't surprised to see the former Queen stood in the middle of the shop. She didn't stop until she stood next to the former Queen facing the exit with the Queen looking towards the back, ready to her part of their plan to stop anyone from returning from the Enchanted Forest.
"Ten minutes. Outside the Mines" with a simply nod from the older woman the redhead let herself out of the shop
With the comforting weight of her hidden blades back on her forearms, the Master Assassin waited for Regina and Gold to appear at the Storybrooke Mines after checking they were dwarf free for them. Apparently they needed something from inside the mines that would help stop Cora from every stepping a foot in Storybrooke.
The familiar feeling of their magic made the back of her neck tingle as she looked to see both finally arrive at the mines seeing a torch in the former Queen's hand.
"You two took your damn time" she greeted the pair as they walked towards her.
"Patient as ever Ms. Montague" the old man responded at her impatience as the pair continue to walk towards the entrance of the mines "Anyone ever tell you is a virtue?".
"Good thing I never had that virtue" she retorts as she joins them to walk into the mines as she blinks on her sixth sense to see through the darkness leading the pair through the graveled tunnels "We're clear for now. But we've only got twenty minutes until the dwarfs come back from lunch at Granny's"
"We won't take long" Rumple tells her.
"I hope you're right. You've never been on the receiving end of an angry dwarf and his axe" she grumbles to him before the trio are engulfed in silence.
The only sound that was heard was the sound they made as the gravel crunched under their feet through the barely lit mines where the dwarfs had found the fairy dust.
"I'm really glad you, uh, came to your senses" he told the women accompanying him.
"Let's just get this over with" Regina replied after a few more steps Amelia stopped, and her vision went back to normal when they came across the fairy dust clung onto the ceiling of the mine like a starry night.
"Ah, yes. Should suit our purposes, no?".
"How much do you need?" the red head asked him.
"All of it" he answered the women.
The pair blinked at him in unison at his request. What was he expecting her to do? Climb up there herself.
"How are we going to do that?" the former Queen blinked at him.
"With a little help from a fairy" Amelia glances at the older man as he held up a fairy wand over his head "Dead one. Believe me, no one mourns her"
Waving the wand the object glowed as it absorbed the power from the diamonds that clung on the ceiling until nothing was left as the starry night above them was no more. Giving them the means to stop anyone from crossing realms.
Leading the Queen and her Widow through the woods, the trio of villains followed his lead as he would take him to the place where the portal would appear "You're certain the portal's going to open up all the way out here?" Regina asked her old teacher as the redhead kept a eye out. It wouldn't be long until the dwarfs discovered the dust missing, it would just be a matter of time until someone came to try and stop them.
Emphasis on try.
"There" he pointed to the well in the middle of the woods, the same place here he brought magic to the sleepy town as the three deviated off the path to approach the stone well as they climb up the small incline up to the stone structure "This is where things once lost are returned to us. This is where Cora's going to come through" The three of them look inside, the water at the very bottom of the well bubbling.
"Unless, it's Snow and Emma" Amelia pointed out to the old man.
"I highly doubt it".
The former Evil Queen wrung her hand together in anticipation as her Gold and Amelia looked down the wishing well that would be the place either Snow and Emma or Cora would come back to Storybrooke as the water continued to bubble inside the well.
"It's time" Gold announce to the women.
"So, what the hell are we waiting for?" Amelia replied as all three stepped away from the well.
Taking out the wand, the sorcerer held it towards the blue sky summoning a thunderstorm above them that had the wind swirl around them. A flash of green lighting flashed above them that was controlled by the sorcerer and guided into the well creating an electric barrier in the lip of the well that no-one would be able survive.
"Doesn't matter who come through now" Gold tells the women either side of him "No one can survive this".
A the three stood by as the lightening barrier continued to flash to itself they waited in trepidation for Cora's attempt to get through until the distinct hiss of a pair of hidden blade sliding out of place from Amelia's bracer's making them jump.
"We've got company" the red head announced to the pair as she turned around to meet Henry and Ruby making Gold and the former Evil Queen do the same a second or two later.
"Mom? You're not helping Emma and Mary Margaret, are you?" the young boy asked her.
"I'm helping you, Henry" she simply tells him.
"What are you talking about?".
"You're going to kill them" Ruby says taking a step forward to sop them as Amelia bent her knees and brought her fists up ready to take on the she-wolf herself only for Gold to magically throw her aside with a flick of his hand, landing heavily onto the forest floor away from them, knocking her out cold.
"Sorry, dearie" Gold said brushing the werewolf aside.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Henry asked his mother again.
"We can't let Cora come through the portal" she tells her son "You have no idea what she would do to us".
"Emma and Mary Margaret are going to defeat her. They're the ones that are going to come through" Henry told them
"Henry, your mother's right" Amelia speaks up from her place as she wind starts picking up around them "It's going to be Cora".
"No. It won't. Good always defeats evil. You should know that more than anyone. You told me you would help me. You promised me!" he yelled at the redhead above the swirling wind.
Her heart sunk at this. She did promise to help bring Emma and Mary Margaret back. But he didn't know what Cora was capable of. She and Regina did.
"I'm sorry Henry, but I can't take that risk of her coming through" she tells the boy in desperation as the former Queen say something she saw very rarely coming from in all their time together. Fear.
"What I know, is my mother will destroy everything I love" Regina spoke up from behind the redhead "– and that means you and Amelia. I can't let that happen".
Henry ran for the well only for Amelia to sheath her blade and grab the boy around his waist stopping him from going toward the portal. Henry tried to wiggle out of the Black Widow's grasp but failed to overcome the strength she held from years of training
"You can't!" he yelled at his mother as the redhead held the boy in her arms "Stop it! You can't! You're going to kill them! Please! No!".
"They're going to make it through! We have to turn it off! You're going to kill them!"
Managing to break free of Amelia's hold the eleven year old ran to the well making it to the edge only for the seasoned assassin to quickly run after him to grab hold of him and drag him away from the danger that sat inside the well to turn him around in her hands to face her.
"Henry!" the redhead yelled at him like a scolding mother as she looked at him in pure horror of his actions as she held him firmly in her hands "What are you doing?!".
"Emma and Mary Margaret are going to come through" he pleaded with the former Assassin "I know it. You said it yourself we always have faith in the impossible. Well this is it" he turned to his mother who was stood behind the redhead "You said you wanted to change – to be better. This is how. You want me to have faith in you? Have faith in me" after a pause Amelia's face softened letting his word sink in. She let go of the boy and stood up straight to face the former Queen.
Gold could see what the boy's speech had done to both women as they held the same expression on their faces. It was a shame to see two powerful women such as the Evil Queen and the Black Widow in their respective abilities to be melted by one boy and his unwavering belief in the impossible, but it be a greater shame to see them die for making such a mistake.
The pairs silent conversation, spoke volumes as the brunette approached the well and the red head approached the Dark One putting herself between him and Regina, the former Evil Queen placed her hands over the swirling green vortex starting to absorb the magic.
"You don't want this fight dearie" he snarled at the assassin.
"I don't but I have more faith in Henry than you" Amelia snapped her arms out as she extended her hidden blades "Trust me I've wanted to do this for years".
"Just like your father" Gold sneered at her showing his teeth "Doesn't know when to step back from a fight he couldn't win" he summoned a fireball in his hand and sent it towards Amelia's face.
Crossing the blades in an 'X' in front of her the blade easily dispersed the projectile from hitting her face. Rushing towards the Dark One, the man sent out a wave of magic towards the attacking woman in an attempt to stop her only for the seasoned assassin to easily see the move and jump over the wave of magic that would've sent her flying across to the other side of the town, landing on her feet again as he suddenly saw how close she truly was to him. Leaping up into the air the assassin sent her foot and knee into his bad knee as a closed fist hit the side of his face, sending him onto the ground.
Placing a heavy boot onto his chest to keep him down the redhead looked back to see Regina's convulsing form.
"Regina!" she yelled out in worry. Using the distraction the sorcerer on the ground flicked out a wrist making her fly way from him across the forest floor before landing heavily on her back as a pulse-wave of energy shot from the well, sending the former Queen onto the ground.
The crackling ceased from within the well silence engulfed the clearing as the redhead looked up from where she landed to wait for anyone to appear from the otherside. But no one did. Not even Cora.
"No!" Henry exclaimed in distress. Amelia let her head drop down in failure. She tried, she really did.
"I'm sorry, Henry. I'm sorry" Regina whispered to her son from the ground as Amelia remained on the ground as she saw the look of heartbreak on Henry's face. unaware that Gold had already stood himself up from the ground.
Suddenly, a hand comes out of the well and grabs the edge. Henry gasped as Regina and Amelia stared in silent shock as Emma pulls herself out red leather jacket and all, quickly followed by Mary Margaret close behind her daughter.
"Mom?" Henry called out.
"Henry!" Shouted Emma Henry runs into Emma arms. Emma hugged him tight, smiling as Snow joined in the hug throwing her arms around her daughter and grandson. Amelia watched the reunion with ache in her heart, not only from her own trauma but from the look of heartbreak from Regina.
"Oh, I missed you" the blonde whispered into her sons shoulder.
"I missed you, too" Henry replied.
"I missed you so much" Emma said into her son's shoulder as Amelia watched Gold silently slink away as she caught her breath. She forgotten how much that used to hurt.
Snow drew back from the group hug, and saw Amelia on the forest floor sat up on her knees and Regina still on the ground as she recovered from breaking the barrier that would've stopped the mother/daughter duo from coming through and Ruby finally coming around from being knocked out.
"What's going on? What happened?" Amelia straight up to meet Snow's questioning gaze. The red head ignored it and staggered over to Ruby with a small limp and held her hand out towards the she-wolf as Henry spoke to his family.
"They saved you. They saved both of you" Referring to Regina and Amelia joyfully smiling up at his mother. Hesitantly Ruby took the Assassins hand and stood up with Amelia's help.
Emma looked at Regina "Thank you" the blonde told the woman hugging Henry again
"You're welcome" Regina stiffly nodded at the blonde.
Running from the assassin, the she-wold ran towards Mary Margaret, the two of them sharing a welcoming hug .
"Where's my husband? I need to find him" Snow asked her friend.
"Sleeping soundly in the pawn shop" Amelia answered the Princess's question from her place making her look towards her childhood friend turned enemy. Snow gave the assassin a grateful smile before approaching her and engulfing the red head in a hug. The redhead stiffened under Snows touch unsure how to react. She opted to staying still until it was over. Snow stepped back and looked at her old friend
"Thank you Lia" the red head stiffly nodded at the princess before the dark brunette left her with Ruby into the woods to find her husband.
"Um, your mom… She's, uh… She's… A piece of work, you know?" the redhead overheard Emma say to Regina.
"Indeed, I do. Welcome back".
"Thanks" Emma went to leave with Henry arm in arm. Leaving Amelia with her Queen alone in the middle of the forest watching the semi-reunited family walk back into town.
The small pulse-wave of light magic that she felt was all she needed to know that David had woken from his sleeping curse. Knowing she wouldn't be welcome for the hero's celebrations, the assassin went straight home to start her recovery from the fight she had with Rumple, starting with a hot shower to ease the muscles that ached from being thrown around by magic.
But despite her best efforts, her back still ached as she sat on the wide window ledge of her living room that gave her a good view of main street with a near empty glass of amber liquid nearby. Even catching a glimpse of David awake and walking towards Granny's with his wife in his arms and his daughter and grandson nearby. Taking note of who was with them as the dwarfs happily followed their hero's to the diner with the she-wolf.
Her short damp hair stuck to the back of her neck as the sun dipped into the horizon as she sat watching the world go by in a tank top and cotton shorts contemplating whether she should just go to bed, only for a gentle knock at her door to disturb her thoughts of an early night after an eventful day.
"It's open!" she called out without looking back the assassin heard the door open and close and heels walk across her wooden floor.
"I see you've found another perch" Regina greeted the former Assassin referring to her sat at the window.
"Can't perch on the clock tower anymore. Sheriff's back in town" Amelia replied "You weren't invited to dinner" she observed out-loud to the older woman as she took a long sip of her drink.
"No" Regina simply stated to the woman.
"I take this isn't a social call" the red head stated turning her head to face her former employer "You want to know why I went back to Wonderland?".
"I think that's the least you owe me".
"I needed to kill Ophelia and I did. End of"
"Why didn't you tell me?".
"Your father" she tells the woman "He asked me not to. We were so close to casting the curse he didn't want anything to get in the way. We needed to get you as far away from her as we could. I agreed".
"What did she do?" the woman asked in trepidation.
"What she does best" Amelia stated as she stood from her perch to cross the room until she was stood in front of the dark brunette. Taking the Queen's curiosity the assassin turned her back to the former Queen before lifting up the short hair the covered the scar that was left over from her meeting with the Queen of Hearts.
Slowly the former Queen lifted her hand to trace the thin white scar that trailed from one side of her neck to the other as the assassin did her best to ignore the shivers that went through her body as reacted to the woman behind her.
"The axe just made that cut. Fortunately my head stayed on my shoulders. But the message got through" she said turned around to face the woman in her apartment.
"She knew" the red head told Regina "About us" she clarified rubbing her arms "Rumple was right about something for once. Love is weakness" she mused out loud making her scoff before meeting the former Queen's gaze once again.
"Cora knew that and used my it against me" she paused gulping "For the first time in year's I feared what I would've lost if I failed. It was the moment I knew I was in love with you"
The admission of love sent the pair into an uncomfortable silence until Regina close the distance between them capturing Amelia's lips in a bruising kiss taking the former Assassin by surprise before reciprocating the gesture. As their hand groped for anything that kept them on the planet, she was never so grateful for her cursed shorty hair as she felt Regina's nails scraped her head.
After their lungs burnt for air the pair separated lustful eyes boring into each-others, Amelia gently brushed a lock of dark brunette behind the Queen's ear as Regina lovingly stroked Amelia's cheek.
"I love you Regina, I always have" the red head told the brunette feeling the weight on her chest lift off since she returned from Wonderand (the second time). Amelia closed distance like she had many time before in the Enchanted Forest, but this time the kiss was gentle, loving, slow as Amelia gently pushed the Queen's coat off her shoulder's onto the ground as a moan came from the Queen's throat sending them both over the edge as the grabbed each other's clothes in desperation as Amelia did her best to guide her and her Queen to her bedroom were they reacquainted themselves for the first time in years.
Meanwhile at the docks Puck stood overlooking the moonlit water with a small piece of paper in his hand, in the middle of the paper sat a red heart on its own with the crease of the paper that had been perfectly folded in the middle, he had found it on his welcome mat in his apartment when he returned from the closing shift at the Hidden One's.
He was the one Amelia trusted the most to run the bar and her businesses in the Enchanted Forest. Her work stretched far and wide while she worked for the Evil Queen. It was a chance encounter she had met him. He was had recently left the comfort in Wonderland when he found himself falling through a portal that took him to the Enchanted Forest, to Amelia.
He was a day away from being executed by the Evil Queen when the assassin stopped the Axe halfway down to his neck. She managed persuade the Queen to spare him and to work for her instead, the pair quickly becoming close with their shared trauma's, he became like a son to her. But her compassion became her greatest weakness, and as soon as he found out what she, Gold and the former Queen were planning to do to stop his Queen from getting to Storybrooke. Well that was just rude.
He may love Amelia like a mother, but his loyalty to the Queen of Hearts was unwavering even to this day.
The young brown haired man let out a puff of smoke from his cigarette as he heard a couple of footsteps approaching behind him, dropping the cigarette on the floor of the wooden dock and stubbed it out with the ball of his foot he turned to see the person who had sent him the piece of paper.
He quickly dropped to his knee and bent his head down in respect of the monarch "Your Majesty".
Cora let a tight almost fond smirk grew on her face as she saw the young man that had served his so well in Wonderland "Puck" she greeted him with a sweet smile "Tell me. Is she here?".
Still on his knee he looked up to the older woman in wonder and awe "She's here your majesty" he confirmed.
"Who are we looking for exactly?" Hook asked the witch in annoyance, he had no idea someone was waiting for their arrival "I thought we were here for your daughter".
"We are Captain, but we're also here to deal with a pesky spider" she tells the pirate "Come Puck. We have work to do" at that the young man stood to his feet and followed his Queen and Captain Hook into Storybrooke.
