Tensions were high in the group of heroes, villains and assassins as they re-entered their camp as the truths they had revealed to the other's echoed throughout the group. Mary Margaret refused to David. Hook kept his distance from Emma. And every attempted Romeo tried to step closer to his only daughter she took a further away from him as her admission for what she had lost in result for his lifelong mission to keep her safe from those they called their family.
Everything.
But the group couldn't think on it for too long. They had to move forward with a way to save Henry while finding a way of escaping the island. Now with the boy's own father with them and his experience of getting off the island they could now focus on the task in hand.
He was the most important thing now.
"Pan's shadow?" Emma asked her ex from next to him as the group gathered around the campfire "That's your way off the island?"
"Unfortunately, it's the only way" her newly discovered cousin confirmed for the group as he eye's glance over to the male assassin in the group. Despite Romeo Montague now looking a lot older than he first met him, he still held himself the same way he did. But he couldn't trust him as far as he could throw him. Even if he was related to him through his Aunt Juliet and the redheaded assassin that sat a distance away from the main group.
He heard everything that had been said on the other side of the cave. In spite of the Brotherhood she had been raised in the and her work for his own father he felt the for the woman that looked lost in her own mind. She looked like Juliet on those long nights he would find her in Pan's camp sat away from the ruckus of the lost boys gazing up at the stars as if she was dreaming of the place far away from where she was.
"Oh. We thought you learned how to navigate the stars" David spoke up for the group
"I know how to navigate the stars, but I can't fly" Neal clarifies "That's where the shadow comes in. That's why we have to capture it"
"Capture it?" Emma questioned "We've never been within feet of Pan unless he wanted us to be. Sneaking up on him to steal his shadow? That sounds insane"
"Except Pan's shadow is rarely with him" Hook corrected the savior "It's an entity unto itself. It can carry out his will from miles away"
"What does that mean for us?" David asked the pirate
"It means we can get his shadow without having to be anywhere near Pan..." Neal explained "as long as we know where to look. I know where to look"
"Okay. You and I are on shadow duty" Emma decided for the group and she and Neal stood up from their log
"As am I" Hook quickly volunteered "This trek won't be easy. You could use another veteran of the island"
"Thanks, man" Neal gave a grateful nod towards the pirate
"Lia?" Emma looked towards the female Assassin for assistance.
Hearing her name the woman slowly looked towards the blonde as she thought about joining her cousin his ex and Hook into yet another long trek into the thick jungle to god know's where to capture Pan's own shadow. But she didn't have the energy anymore.
"Not this time Swan" the redhead softly declined the offer. Emma could only nod at the woman's decision to stay out of the next part of their plan. Only, she couldn't shake the unnerving feeling that settled into her stomach at the redhead's decision.
"Well, in the meantime" David speaks up gaining their attention "We'll give Tinker Bell a heads up, see if she can make good on her promise to get us into Pan's camp" he says referring to himself and his wife who could barely look at her true love.
"Okay, we meet back at Tink's" Emma replies "Then we get Henry and get the hell back to Storybrooke. Okay"
With the plan set, the group disbanded from their 'meeting' as they readied themselves r to prepare for their tasks. The redhead headed for her's and Regina's own tent seeing Romeo's leather bound journals that had been left hap-haphazardly since the last time they had been in camp. It seemed like an age since they had discovered the ruins of the Jackdaw so soon after making land unaware the author of the journals was still alive on the island. It also reminded the assassin how long it had been since she had gotten any sleep.
The out-pour of emotion in the cave had made her more tired as she longed to be able to lie down and catch up on some much needed sleep. The only thing that stopped her was how easily the boy leader had slipped through the mental defenses she had spent everyday since she the age of five to build that impenetrable wall around her mind.
"Why didn't you tell me?" she suddenly heard Snow White voice say from behind her making the assassin blink out of her thoughts making her turn around to see the woman herself stood in front of her.
"What?" she spat out in in irritation
"About David. About the uh..dream-shade" she gulped "You of all people could've told me"
"If you hadn't noticed Snow" the redhead started taking a dangerous step towards the former Princess her eye's zeroing onto her target, making the older Assassin take notice the pair from his spot in front of the campfire "-I've been a little distracted ever since I had to drag your self-righteous husband to the top of Dead Man's Peak to find a cure for the poison he took to save you" she tells her making the woman tear up at the hard truth she was getting from the sleep depraved assassin in front of her "David would be dead if Hook and I hadn't ignored his moral compass because he thought dying was the right thing to do"
"So be angry at him all you want, but we saved you from the most painful thing in the entire world. You have no idea how it feels for your true love to be ripped away from you. You don't even need to see my heart to see what losing John did to me. That is something I never want you to feel"The irritation the assassin had felt had been replaced by anguish and heartbreak
The tears finally fell down the pixie haired teacher for the pain that the assassin had been carrying for so long. Not only had she lost the man she loved she also lost her child. She thought losing Emma for twenty-eight years was bad enough. But at least she was alive.
"Lia.." she whispered "I am so sorry. If-"
The former Princess was cut off by the redhead "There was nothing you could've done. So just leave it" she tell the woman before leaving the woman at her tent to find some sort of solitude in the jungle away from the camp to gather her thoughts.
She knew the woman was just trying to give her some sort of comfort. But she didn't want it. Now now. Not ever. What done was done. Nothing could change the past as much a she wanted to. She didn't notice anyone following her until she heard her newly discovered cousin softly greet her from behind her
"Hey" he gently gained the redheads attention with only her back facing him "I saw you come though here, I wanted to see if you were okay"
She turned around to regard her older cousin "Can I say, no?"
"You can" he says "I heard what you said about your family. I'm sorry you lost them the way you did"
"It doesn't matter" she replied "I found my vengeance and it got me nowhere"
"Maybe, but it got you here, helping us save my son" he tells her repeating her previous words in the cave
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that letter" she argued
"But you're still here" he pointed out taking a few steps closer to the redhead "The last Assassin that made promises to me, broke them"
"If I can help it, I would never let what happened to anyone reminds me of my son"
"Thank you" Neal held out his hand towards his cousin, Amelia looked down at it before mirroring him and gasping his hand with her own
Neal went to take his hand away only for the assassin to grip it harder, stopping him from leaving as her green eye's that he once seen on Juliet looking back at him
"Romeo" she quietly stated keeping her eye's bored on his, the same ones that Henry had "He was the Brother that let you down, wasn't he?" she quickly figured out from the way he would keep looking at her father, like he was the last person he wanted helping him get Henry back. He could only nodded in confirmation letting his hand go Neal turns and leaves the assassin.
The cousins re-entered camp as the final preparations were made to capture Pan's shadow and find Tink again. Amelia figured she should go find the fairy not doubting for a second that her father would follow his god-daughter. But she needed to speak to him first. Without the presence of anyone else to overhear them. She needed to find out what else happened to him on the island before she was born if they had any chance of moving past her truth in the echo cave.
"Lia, ready to go?" Mary Margaret called out to the Assassin as Neal, Hook and Emma left camp to find Pan's shadow. The redhead still saw the tension between the married couple regardless of her own explanation of what happened.. It looked like they weren't the only ones in need to clear the air after the echo cave.
"Change of plan" she tells the former Princess setting her bag onto the ground "You two can find Tinkerbelle while we will stay here, in case any Lost Boys are brave enough to follow any of you"
"Lia…"
"Go Snow" Romeo tells his goddaughter with a gentle smile "We'll find you soon"
He needed to speak to his daughter.
As peace and quiet finally settled within the camp, the redhead used it to her advantage settling herself onto the ground with crossed legs and closed eyes as she concentrated on her breathing. Not only did the meditation help with keeping Pan out of her head, it also allowed her to rest her body and conserve energy as her mind re-built the walls around itself. After ten minutes of nothing the older assassin decided he needed to assist his apprentice as she tried to ease her mind as he took a place on the ground opposite her, mirroring her body closing his eye's to join his adult daughter as she attempted to put her mind at ease before they joined the others.
"You've never struggled to meditate before Amelia" Romeo opened the conversation
"Well, recent developments haven't allowed me the time to meditate. Not without the Brady Bunch interrupting every time with every little drama"
"Brady what?" a confused brow rose on his face Even without seeing his face the redhead silently smirked to herself knowing the look on her father's face.
"Nevermind" she hummed out as the pair went back into silence. The red head breathed in through her nose and back out of her mouth as she tried to clear her mind, but her mind was too active to get a single thought
"What made you try again?"
Assassins never meditated other than to keep their demons at bay. He had them, everyone did. Meditation allowed an assassin to reset their mind to once again to find balance within themselves.
The two imagined themselves back in Monteriggioni, under the Villa, in the Sanctuary that served as a room for the assassins to be completely alone surrounded only by the statues of the first assassins that served the Brotherhood in it's infancy, Including Altair, the supposed founder of the Creed tasked by Merlin himself to protect innocents from dark magic. The only sound that could be heard in the room was their breathing as the outside world melted outside it's walls.
"Pan got into my head when we first made camp" she tells her father feeling his calming presence wash other her like it away's did when he meditated with her. It was comforting knowing he was trying to help her like he would always help her "I had a dream the first time we took some time to get some sleep..I think it was a dream anyway, I'm not really sure what it was anymore. It felt real before I felt like I was falling into an chasm that never seemed to end"
"Calm Amelia" his smooth voice washed over her as she felt her heart starting to thump harder in her chest "Fear is the path to your darker side...Fear leads to anger..anger leads to hate...hate leads into suffering" he repeated the mantra that had eased her darkest thoughts in the first few years of training. It seemed to help as the redhead let out a calmer breath, continuing her time of reflection.
"Pan used that old trick to keep me up at night the first few weeks I was here. After I while, I learnt how to block him out so I could get a decent night"
"Then why can't I do the same?"
"You've lapsed your training for so long" he lightly scolds her "You've let your emotions get the better of you, it's easier for Pan to get into you head"
"Then how do I made it harder for him to stay out"
"Getting off Neverland" he tells her straight. Her eye's snap open to find herself back in Neverland instead of the peaceful Sanctuary sat in front of Romeo who was looking straight back at her.
"Thanks for the advice" she huffs pushing herself off the ground leaving her Master on the ground "I'll be sure to tell everyone that when I'm on the Jolly Roger while they go save Henry"
"There is no quick fix for this Amelia" Romeo tells his daughter getting on his feet "you've let yourself become consumed by anger and hate, it's made you.."
"Dark?" Amelia carps at him finishing his sentence "Because it's not a bad word to say. I was called the Black Widow after all"
"Amelia"-
"I know how consumed I became. When I killed Ophelia, she tried to tell me that you were still alive, but I..or the Widow didn't believe her because that's all you did. How can I trust you when everything you've ever taught has been one big lie? The Brotherhood is just as corrupt and diseased as any Lord or royal we've ever killed. It's no better than any evil queen or dark sorcerer that's ever walked the Enchanted Forest over the last three hundred years"
"Your right" he admitted talking a deep breath "That's why I had hoped you'd be the one to change all that. I saw the way Richard seethed over kind-hearted monarchs, how Iago's thirst for power was put over the good of the people-"
"You really think I could fix all that? I was eighteen. I had barely begun to understand how everything wasn't so black and white"
"You were meant to put the Brotherhood back on its original path. You were the chosen one. Bring balance to the world. To protect people from the likes of The Evil Queen and Rumpelstiltskin, not join it!" he yells the last sentence at her in anger.
Amelia was left in stunned silence as his words sunk in. He believed in the prophesy as well, so much so he was willing to die to see her become the assassin she was supposed to be. Instead she let her fear turn into anger, her anger into hate and she was now suffering for the hate she allowed the Black Widow to take over and consume her.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, father" she says snatching up her shoulder bag of his journals before following the path that the Charming couple had to taken to Tinkerbelle's treehouse.
Nothing had been said between the assassin's as the younger of the two lead them back through Neverland's jungle on the path that would take them to Tinkerbelle's tree house. Amelia swung at anything with her Kukri blade that got in their way, no leaf or branch had been left unharmed in the assassin's way as she let out the frustrations she felt towards the man behind her out on the foliage. The sharp blade was the only thing that could be heard as it whistled through the air.
"What was his name?" the older Montague suddenly asks daughter breaking the silence making the redhead cease her onslaught on the greenery around them
"What?" Amelia said glancing back to her father not stopping
"Your husband" he says "He must've been something if you married him"
"His name was John Smith" she answered his original question "He was a privateer. A Captain. Had his own ship"
Amelia heard her father laugh which made her stop and look back at the man that had trained her into the Assassin she was today "What's so funny?"
"Nothing" he shook his head trying to hold back the grin that wanted to spread on his face "I never saw you marrying, that's all. Let alone a sailor" he defended himself
"I'll try and not be insulted by that" she tells him as she takes out her water canteen and takes a swig of the refreshing water "And he was. When I ran I sneaked aboard his ship as a crew mate. The rest is history" she shrugs at him
"Did he find you?" he knew what some crews thought about having a woman on their ship. They thought it was bad luck to let someone of the fairer sex to set foot on their deck.
"He did, he wanted to kick me off straight away once he knew who I was running from. But there was a bad storm one night, I saved one of his deck boys from the crow's nest after he got tied up in the ropes. I fell overboard trying to open up the main sail. John never stopped looking for me, I was lucky I hadn't already died by the time he found me again. I gained enough of his trust to allow me to leave on my own terms. After about a month he dropped me off in a place called Arendelle. Fate intervened again and he ended up saving me again form a curse"
A fond smile grew on his face as he listened closely to his daughter's story. She had found happiness even if she didn't believe in the fate that surrounded her life in this John Smith
"I remember how dedicated you were to the Brotherhood. Some part of me wanted you to one day go out on a contract and never come back because you found a life beyond the Creed"
"Like you saw in my mother?" at the mention of her mother's names her father's eyes softened
"Exactly"
"Then why didn't you leave the Brotherhood if she was so important"
"Because I wanted to finish the job I had just started. I thought I was careful, not telling you was one ways of keeping you safe"
"Who did know?"
"King Leopold and Queen Eva. I only told them after your mother passed because they were the only people I could trust if something happened to me"
"What are you trying to say? That Claudius was tipped off?"
"He was" he tells her "Someone at the palace must've over head me one day or made a connection when you stayed at he Palace for a while. But it couldn't be just anyone. someone respectable enough like a..."
"Queen" Amelia finished for her father quickly catching onto his train of thought "No. She wouldn't.." she tried to defend her Queen only for her throat to dry up as her mind spun at the accusation.
"It could have only been her Amelia" he softly tells her "Leopold and he would never betray me like that. Especially if it hurt you"
"Why are you telling me this?" she almost whispers
"I've seen the way she looks at you, and you her. You need to think twice whether you want a relationship with a woman that would destroy everything in a heartbeat for something as petty as vengeance, you told me about the animosity she held towards you when you left, tell me this isn't something she wouldn't do"
"She's not like that anymore" she croaked out
"Perhaps not, but if she truly cares for you, she would have already told you"
"Do you have proof?"
Romeo silently reached into the inside of the robes and brought out a piece of folded parchment, she saw the familiar insignia on the purple wax seal straight away "Claudius made sure I kept this, so I knew who betrayed me in the end"
Amelia silently reached out for the parchment that Romeo readily gave to his daughter
It felt like she's gained a hundred pounds as she and Romeo continued their trek through the thick jungle, the letter in her robes would stay there until she got definitive proof that the woman she fell for so hard was the one responsible for the hell that followed her. But she'd have to wait until she saw the Regina again, until then it would stay where it is.
The more time she spent on the island the more accustomed she got to the noises that lived in the think jungle around them, the leaves brushed against their legs as there was little to none wind in the humid jungle. The creatures in the bush that called out into the eternal night. The soft sound of breath's leaving their mouth as they pushed their legs further through the jungle.
What wasn't natural was the rustling she heard to her left. The younger assassin froze on the spot hearing the new noise with her father stopping just short of his daughter seeing her sudden stiffness.
"Ame-"
"Shhh" she quickly quietens her father pulling her hood up over her head as she goes off trail slinking into the foliage around them to find the source of the new noise. Pulling out one of his saber's he waited searching the area with his normal sight for the threat his daughter had heard in the distance. Suddenly two figures come crashing back into the trail in front of him with Amelia firmly sat on top the other with one hand holding the figure down by his chest and another in the air with a hidden blade ready to strike when Romeo recognized the figure his daughter had pinned to the ground.
Tom.
"I thought I told you to stay down" the red head growled at the lost boy she had fought in Pan's camp. She goes to strike the young boy only for one of her father's saber's to stop he hidden blade fro meeting it's mark. She looked up to her father's hard face totally focused on her. The same face that would punish her for any minor indiscretion
"Let him go" his stern voice. She didn't need to be told twice as the blade slipped back in place standing up from the lost boy she had encountered earlier, pulling her hood away from her head as Romeo sheathed his sword back in place.
The Lost Boy's eye's widened in surprise to see the redhead he had been wanting to see ever since his altercation with the other women. This was Amelia.
She watched as Romeo helps the older lost boy back onto feet with a hand on either shoulder looking for any cut or bruise she might have caused him, only to see nothing "Are you okay, Thomas?" he asks the boy as the redhead looks closely at the interaction
"I-I'm fine Master Montague" the lost boy reply's to the older assassin
"Good" Romeo says with a gentle smile "I apologize for the fright. It's seem's my daughter has forgotten her manner's over the year's. Please forgive her" the redhead rolled her eye's at her father's words folding her arms across her chest. Tom's eye found her again seeing how unabashed she was at nearly killing him.
"I-t's okay" the boy stammered looking between the two assassins with a nervous smile "Easy mistake"
"You know him?" she repeats her earlier question
"I do" Romeo answered his daughter question with one hand remaining on the boy "I'm more curious why you nearly killed him"
"He's a lost boy that attacked us in their camp, he's been following us for the last ten minutes"
"That's because he was following me" Romeo tells his daughter before looking at Tom "Thomas, this is my daughter Amelia" Romeo introduced the pair "Amelia this is Thomas, he's been my apprentice of sorts over the last few years"
"Hi" the teen awkwardly waved at the redhead "I-I'm Tom"
"Hi" she drawls out before looking back at father "How the hell did he find us?" she asked her father suspiciously ignoring the lost boys greetings
"Thomas possesses our sight, he found me one day and the rest is history"
"Still doesn't exactly answer why though"
Romeo looked at the teen "Thomas?"
"Pan's bringing forward his plans forward with Henry" Tom informed the Master Assassin "We have days if not that to stop him"
"You're a spy?" Amelia spoke up looking at the boy in bewilderment
"He's been wanting to leave the island for some time" Romeo informed his daughter "he didn't have a way until you came here. And now with a plan to leave, he only wishes to go with you"
"What about you?" Amelia sent her father the question "You'd really think I'd leave you here after everything"
Instead of answering his daughter he looked to the teen "Go back to camp, we can't have Pan suspecting anything this close, we'll be there soon" with a sharp nod Tom leaves the pair running back into the foliage
"You know I can't leave" he started
"There's always a way. Snow will want her husband to come back home, she'll get a cure out of Rumple as soon as she touches dry land"
"If there one thing I learnt from my past on this island, is that I won't make the same mistake again"
"You mean Neal?" she call him out "I know you were the assassin that let him down"
"Yes" he breathed bracing himself for what he needed to tell her. He was ready to tell her in the Echo Cave only for Emma to look for her for one final truth to get to Neal on the other side "He doesn't know the circumstance around my departure from Neverland and I don't blame him for his mistrust in me"
"What happened?" she gulped, not ready for what he had to say for himself. No one get's left behind. Once an assassin makes a promise they have to keep it even if they got hurt. She made one when she promised to get Snow and Regina home to the palace after the mercenaries tried to kill them, she kept it in spite of the injuries she suffered for it.
The older assassin took a seat on a nearby rock as Amelia waited for his answer "Before you were born, I came here on a mission to find out as much as I could about this island's magic, to see if could be used in our fight against the Templar's. Meanwhile your mother had been sent here some years before on the same mission only to become trapped here. During my time here I met your mother and quickly let myself fall in love with her. At the same time I had been keeping a boy out of trouble with some of the older Lost Boy's"
"Baelfire?"
He nods "However when I found out whom with your mother's true allegiances aligned with, I sent her away. Unknowingly, I put both of you Pan's clutches. When it came to leave I had promised Baelfire to take him with me. Only Pan found out about my plan to take him with me. He stopped me. He took me to the echo caves to find your mother and Bae there on the other side.
"-Pan gave me an ultimatum; I could either take him or Juliet with me on the Jackdaw. Never both. So, I chose my wife and unborn child. That's why Claudius banished me here and not some other world because he knew what I had done to get you back home. And I don't regret it for every second I got to hold you in my arms after you were born"
She would have to accept his answer for now. Everyone deserved a second chance, even Neal would understand one he understood what happened all those years ago.
Regina had no idea how long she and Rumpelstiltskin had been waiting for the return of a friendly mermaid named Ariel.
They needed a something that could be used against Pan and the only it remained in Storybrooke while they shipped off to Neverland. Perching herself on some driftwood that had washed up onto shore they waited on the beach for the mermaids return, hoping the enchanted sand dollar that Gold had given her with a message to his precious Belle had reached the librarian in time.
Gold himself stood looking out into the dark horizon waiting patiently using a branch as a 'cane' as time slowly went by. It hadn't come as a surprise to the Dark One that the Queen was the first to know about his blood relation to her assassin, and he knew Amelia wouldn't be announcing the news to the others willingly anytime soon. They both knew her too well for her own good. But something that did disturb the pair was when Regina had told her about Romeo's sudden re-appearance. Even he didn't see that one coming.
"You really believe Belle can succeed?" Regina broke the silence between the villains
"Yes, I do" he answered her plainly
"Are you sure it's not your feelings blinding you?" she questioned the her former tutor
"Or perhaps it's my feelings illuminating me" he retorted to the woman taking her by surprise
"You really love her" she states to the older man in front of her in surprise. He'd never shown his affection for anyone.
"Is that jealousy?" he questioned her
Regina laughed at the old man "Of Belle?" the Queen gives the man a pointed look "I think not"
"No, no. Of having someone" the Dark One almost spat at the Queen before he turned to speak to her "If I were you Your Majesty. I would figure out whether or not you want to be with my niece, because if her father has truly returned, then it's only a matter of time until he turns even the Black Widow against you for good"
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" she retorted dryly
"I'm sure you are fully aware that our Widow has only got a tolerance for disappointment from the people she cares for before she grows tired and eventually cuts them out or kills them. You dearie are certainly no exception. She grew tired of you once before when chose Cora over her and she'll do it again once Master Montague reveals to her the one responsible for his banishment here and the eventual demise of her family that pushed her over the edge into darkness"
The letter. Her eyes widened as she remembered the words she had written in hate after first meeting the redhead. She would hate her forever if she ever found out "He wouldn't"
"He's a father desperate to get his child back, even if that child has grown, he'd just do just about anything to keep you away from her"
"Sorry I'm late" Ariel voice interrupted any further conversation between the pair. Gold dropped the stick he was holding as he walked down to the waters to meet the returning mermaid. Shaking her head Regina quickly joined the older man, she had to focus on getting Henry back before she could deal with Amelia.
Once he's safe, then she could fix things with Amelia once and for all
Each step they took they were one step closer to the tree house. It had taken them a while longer with the few interruptions they had as they aired out each other's past and dealt with Romeo's little spy. They were only a few hundred meters away from their destination only to come across three people they knew on their way from capturing Pan's shadow.
"Well, isn't this a small world" Amelia sighed out greeting the Emma, Neal and Hook as they all came to a stop . The three stopped seeing Amelia and Romeo emerge from their trail.
"Too small" Neal grumbled to himself, giving Romeo a sideways glance
"I take the plan went well?" Amelia continued the conversation
"Aye it was" Hook spoke up quickly for them. But the assassin's could feel the tension that still remained with the three in front of them
"Come on we need to get to Tink" Neal reminded the party before heading down the trail leading to Tink's treehouse with Hook and Romeo following suit leaving the two women to trial after them.
"Hey" the blonde greeted the redhead in slight confusion "I thought you were already at the tree house " Emma inquired with the female Assassin as they followed the men
"We stayed behind at the camp for a while after your parents left. We needed to talk" she tell her as they follow the men ahead "And you know me, not too far away from the action"
"Yeah I do" Emma huffs out. "How'd it go with your Dad?" the blonde gently pressed the redhead
"Still some way to go. What about you and the guys?"
"Don't ask" she huffed as they heard Tink's voice ahead of them
"Yeah, I'm not lifting a finger until I see some proof that you've actually succeeded" Tink tells the Charming couple as Neal, Hook, Romeo, Amelia and Emma file into the small clearing where Tink's treehouse was
"Hey" Neal announced his presence holding the coconut shell that contained Pan's shadow "Here's all the proof you need" he shows her the shell "It's been a long time, Tink"
"Bae?" Tink asked the man "Is it really you?
"Yeah" Neal confirmed "Most people call me Neal now" Tink then looked to the rest of the party to see the Master Assassin that had been banished here for so long. she saw that the robes that Amelia was wearing were singular to the ones the older Assassin wore.
"Romeo" Tink nodded towards the man
"Lady Belle" Romeo greeted the fairy
"We did it" Hook tells the fairy gruffly "Are you finally ready to do your part, Tink?"
"Yes" the fair says looking at group in front of her "Yes, I am"
AN: A lot of info to fit into cover in this chapter. A lot of Romeo and Amelia moments.
So if you haven't already guessed yet I'm using Monteriggioni from Assassin's Creed II/ Brotherhood as the Brotherhood's HQ for the purpose of the story. If anyone isn't familiar with it I would recommend watching PS4 Assassins Creed II Monteriggioni Free Run on YouTube. The maker of the video takes you all over the city and inside the Villa I've mentioned a few times already.
