Lady Razeli
Chapter One
Emma and Regina's Cuban Villa
"Again!" King yelled at Regina. Regina obliged and struck again at King as they trained in the yard of their Cuban home. Henry and Emma sat with the girls under a shaded patio. Viveka had needed a few weeks in the hospital, but at five months was now thriving like her sister, which meant that their return to Storybrooke was imminent. King had been pushing her harder and harder in her training. "Weak show me why they call you the Evil Queen!"
"Hey, she's not the Evil Queen," Emma complained.
"She is to those who stand against her, and we will not disappoint," King said. "They call you that because you hit hard, fast, and accurately. Not because you are a weak, you strike as if you don't have children and people to protect." Regina's rage flared at the insult and she hit harder that time until she had knocked King to the ground for the first time since they had started this months ago.
"Yay mommy beat King!" Henry cheered.
"Take it back," Regina said standing over her looking every inch the Queen she was.
"I take it back my Queen," King said. Regina nodded and her face softened before she offered King her hand.
"I can't believe you were serious about boxing without gloves," Emma said pushing the hammock the girls were napping in.
"Gloves are for bitches," King muttered so Henry wouldn't hear. Emma snorted.
"King language," Regina said as she unwrapped her hands. King took out a measuring tape and Regina rolled her eyes and submitted to the measurement. Once King had established ideal measurements for her height as well as her weight, she would work towards that and they'd go home. King wanted her at peak strength.
"Well?" Emma asked.
"Ooh very nice my Queen, you managed to lose an inch on your waist, but I am pleased that you have put on a sufficient amount of muscle mass to return home. Dark Savior if you will please." Emma pursed her lips but stood up and Regina took her place pushing the girls gently as she smiled at them sleeping peacefully for once.
"I don't like that title," Emma grumbled.
"What you wanna be known as just another Dark One?" King asked. "No Dark Savior is much more fitting to be paired next to the Evil Queen, just as Savior pairs well with My Queen. This will stick, so get used to it."
"Oh, I should have known that this was only about how this pairs with your Queen," Emma said rolling her eyes.
"Are you complaining that I thought of something, so you fit together?" King asked raising an eyebrow.
"Of course not, you know I like it when we fit together," Emma chuckled. "Well?"
"Well you lost the weight, but I don't think your muscles have gotten any bigger," King sighed. "You need to work out better."
"I'm fine, the way I am," Emma grumbled.
"I remind you that you have my Queen to protect, where were you when that scum came after her in her office?" King asked. Emma frowned.
"Your guards failed too," Emma grumbled.
"We don't have all seeing magical powers," King told her.
"King leave her be, that was no one's fault but Arthur's and Hook's," Regina told her. King nodded.
"King check my muscles!" Henry cried. She made a show of measuring him and telling him he had bigger muscles then both of his mothers' combined. He gave her a huge grin.
"You're going to be so big and strong my prince," Regina told him giving him a kiss just because she could.
"Why don't we go for a hike, I need to patrol anyway," Emma said. Regina nodded.
"After I feed the girls, they'll wake up soon," Regina agreed, Emma nodded. Sure, enough the girls woke up after they had taken them inside. Regina got settled while Henry practiced his reading with her. He loved reading in Spanish to his sisters the same way Regina read to him. So far both girls seemed very happy, and there was no sign of the magic making Rhiannon older than she was. Regina was a little afraid this would change once they were in Storybrooke again. Rhiannon however would never nurse from Emma, and Emma was convinced she did remember after all. Regina couldn't tell her, she wasn't connected in the way she used to be, but again so much more could change when they entered Storybrooke.
"Emma are you all right?" Regina asked interrupting Henry. Henry paused in reading with a pout, but Regina was half turned. She could sense that Emma was worried.
"No, I think he's nearby," Emma said just as Rhiannon became fussy and released her latch on Regina's nipple. Emma came into the room as King stood up from where she was flipping through a magazine.
"Hook you mean?" King asked. Emma nodded. "The call of the sword is weaker out here, it must have been much harder for him to navigate it's call. That's why it has taken him so long. I think we should leave now." Emma gently took Viveka from Regina and lifted Henry as well. Regina secured her bra and shirt before standing with Rhiannon. When she was upset, she would only stay with Regina, so it was no use giving her to Emma not when they needed to hurry. King grabbed a few things before locking up the house and following the small family to the boat. They had upgraded the yacht to sail back towards Maine. No one wanted to get back on a plane except Henry.
"Feels like running," Emma grumbled.
"It's not, but we can't take the chance of the kids getting harmed. He is weak in comparison to you and Little Queen, let's not forget that," Regina reminded her. Emma nodded as she watched them get further and further away from shore. She wasn't surprised when Hook was standing on the dock.
"SWAN!" He yelled. He shot his hand out and black lightening struck at their boat. Regina and Emma blocked it though. Together they were stronger and could manage much more than Hook out here. He tried several more times, it hit the water around them causing the boat to rock dangerously, but eventually he couldn't throw it far enough to cause them any real problems, so he set their house on fire.
"Damn it I really like that house," Regina grumbled. Emma kissed her head.
"I'll buy you a new one," Emma said. "The women are too hot not to come back." Regina shook her head and gave her a shove.
"Honey really, I thought we had established that they don't want you, because I want you," Regina said.
"Regina you can't keep me to yourself, these women love me here you know. They're always saying how pretty I am," Emma replied.
"Aye, mira que lindo," Regina said to King who was driving. King chuckled. To Emma she said, "You sound pretty sure of yourself for someone who doesn't speak the language." Emma pouted.
"What do you mean when you say that, you say that a lot to me here."
"Nada," Regina said waving her off as she went below deck to finish feeding the girls and Emma naturally kept watch until Henry came back up to play with her. She entertained him, but she kept an eye on the horizon, Hook didn't get further away, but he wasn't close either.
"Can you still sense him?" Regina asked later that night, they were both still awake and everyone else was inside the boat sleeping.
"Yes, I think he must have taken a smaller boat to follow us, it's not fast enough to catch up, but it keeps him near."
"Great, I was hoping we would have a large lead on him," Regina murmured as she set up a small computer with a satellite.
"Maybe the coast guard will come after him for money," Emma shrugged as Regina typed. "What are you doing?"
"Coordinating with Ruby and Maleficent so they know our return is eminent. The number of dwarves has gone up to twenty-five, she says they've almost mined every bit of fairy dust inside of Storybrooke.
"So, we just need to destroy their supply then?" Emma asked.
"Fairy dust can't be destroyed, it can become inactive if people forget to believe, but it only takes one true believer."
"So why don't we make the population of Storybrooke forget that fairy dust is real, that the fairies themselves are the mythical beings in our world," Emma said.
"Because she would come for Henry," Regina replied.
"Oh," Emma said. Two beats of silence passed before she spoke again. "Well then that's not going to work out well for her."
"No, it's not," Regina muttered, but then she paused and looked at Emma who was looking unusually straight ahead. Regina tilted her head to the side. "Em?"
"Hmm…baby?" Emma said.
"What's wrong with you?" Regina asked.
"What do you mean babe, nothing is wrong," Emma lied as she pretended to scan the horizon in the dark.
"Emma?" Regina asked crossing her arms. "Why are you being weird?"
"I am not being weird babe," Emma replied.
"Oh yeah why won't you suddenly look at me?"
"Oh, you know I think Viveka is fussing, I'll go nurse her," Emma said. "You should take the wheel." She didn't wait for Regina to take the wheel and practically ran from her. Regina glared at her retreating fiancé as she quickly took over driving the boat. Emma meanwhile did do a quick check of the children before she fished out the satellite phone and dialed Ruby's number.
"Hey, I thought we were supposed to go online together in a few minutes," Ruby said.
"Ruby we have an emergency, you know that idea I had about the fairy dust, and everything and Mal said something about only deactivating it?"
"Yes, that was such a brilliant idea, I was actually just going to report that the dust is inactive, Blue is totally raging right now."
"Yeah reverse it," Emma said.
"What, Emma we can't do that," Ruby said.
"Yes, you can, because it was stupid, and I just found out that she would need Henry to reactivate it. Regina is going to kill me."
"You mean Regina doesn't know?" Ruby asked.
"No, and you're not going to tell her until after you reverse it and you need to reverse it before we get there. And don't tell her you already know we're coming. She's going to tell you in the video ch…."
"EMMA SWAN MILLS GET UP HERE NOW!" Regina yelled. Emma groaned.
"Sorry I didn't make it to Maleficent in time," Ruby said. Emma bit her lip and looked upward knowing Regina was waiting for her. She took several deep breaths.
"Okay, okay, just please make sure my kids know who I was," Emma told Ruby before hanging up. King poked her head out of her room.
"What did you now Dark Savior," King said.
"You may as well come up, I really fucked up," Emma said. King groaned and put some clothes on.
"You better magic me a sweet bed when we get back with fur blankets for the winter," King grumbled.
"Honestly King, I don't know that I will be making it back to Storybrooke with you. Before I go, I'd like to know your full name."
"Regina," She replied as they made their way up. Emma had a look on her face that said now she knew why she had never heard anyone call King by her first name even privately like the others.
"King come take the wheel," Regina said when she appeared first. Emma finally came up after another few minutes making sure to kiss all three of her children one last time. Regina was standing by the computer again arms crossed and face impassive.
"When pray tell did you hatch up this plan, before we had discussed it?" Regina asked her. Emma toed the deck of the boot.
"It wasn't really a plan, it was more I just thought we should do this, and Ruby agreed. I didn't know they were like gonna do it though. I tried to stop them, but I was just too late."
"It's true, I didn't really tell Maleficent that you weren't in on that idea nor was I sure it would work, so I told her not to mention it!" Ruby chimed in. "I swear I am not just covering for Emma."
"And I didn't know the story yet about Peter Pan and Henry or I definitely would not have made the potion," Maleficent told her.
"From now on, no more rogue side plans, we talk about this all together!" Regina yelled at all three of them. Maleficent and Ruby jumped even though there was a screen and large land mass between them and Regina. Emma bit her lip as she jumped too. "Emma get over here, we'll need to strategize and protection of all three children just got even higher priority." They talked for a long while about getting them safely from the harbor to their side of town. The town line itself was heavily guarded by Arthur's soldiers for their return.
"What if because of Hook though, they know you'll be at the harbor," Maleficent said.
"We'll monitor their movements closely, if for any reason it looks like the harbor is compromised, we'll transport to the town line just outside of it, They won't cross, and then when their attention is on us, we will attack them from behind," King said.
"Emma the girls are awake, can I trust you to handle that?" Regina said. She couldn't hear them, but she sensed that at least one of them was needed.
"I will do my best with Rhiannon if she's really upset, but otherwise yes," Emma replied. She waved goodbye to Ruby and Maleficent before heading downstairs. Regina finished up and left King on watch while she took care of her little Queen who didn't want to nurse from Emma at all.
"How did he?" Emma asked right before their boat was hit hard from the side sending them all rolling. Henry woke up with a scream as he hit his head. They were trapped as water rushed into the boat. Emma and Regina struggled to keep all the children above water as there was screaming and crying.
"Emma you gotta get to the office and pull the red lever, it's a beacon," Regina coughed. She used her magic to ensure they had a pocket of air in the darkness.
"Mama!" Henry cried.
"It's okay Henry, it's okay Mommy's got you," Regina told him as he clung to her back. The boat shifted again so it was completely upside down. They managed to put the girls on a floating piece of furniture though.
"I can't leave you guys though," Emma said.
"Emma you need too, the water is getting cold, we will die from hypothermia or lack of oxygen first," Regina said. Emma grimaced and nodded. She kissed her family and dived down. She felt around in the dark until she found a door at first, she found herself in the little closet, but then she managed to make it through the door. For Emma it was slow going as she tried to feel her way in the darkness of the water and try to remember the lay out of the boat. Meanwhile Regina was trying hard to find something to get Henry above the water further and preserve his body heat as well.
"Baby climb on the chair, you have to stay out of the water as much as possible," Regina instructed. It took some forcing but she got him on. "It's okay loves, Mama is going to go hit the beacon and we'll be out of here in no time."
"Mama hurt?" Henry asked.
"No, no sweetie, she's not hurt, she had to swim to a different room to get the beacon. It's like a phone that sends a signal and then the right people can come help us out of the water.
"Mommy it really dark," Henry said.
"It is my little prince, but there will be light again soon," Regina reassured him. She managed to stroke his head before she checked on Rhiannon and Viveka by touch. They seemed fine if not cold. She didn't even want to think of the possibility of them not making it out alive even if she wasn't technically sure they couldn't still be killed after all. The only thing she knew was that she wasn't going to chance it.
"Mommy what that?" Henry asked as a loud banging noise sounded on the haul above them.
"It must be King checking if we're alive," Regina said as she tried to find something to bang back, but she ended up just using her fist with a touch of magic to it. "Or maybe Mama got to the beacon and a boat was nearby come to rescue us."
"Not quite your majesty," Hook said as a hole magically appeared in the haul. He was squatting over it. "Bitches like you have a bad habit of underestimating me. Now I'd like the sword and your son please."
"Over my dead body," Regina said
"That can certainly be arranged but you are in no position to argue," He told her with a laugh. "Now if you'd liked to be trapped for eternity on the sea floor with infants in water, or you can give me your son. He's the only truly vulnerable one here, look at him, his lips are already blue."
"Kill me if you think you can," Regina said. "And you'll never get the sword or the dagger. Emma has them both, and she's not here." He growled and yanked her out by grabbing her shirt.
"Then I guess we'll just be bargaining with you won't we," He said.
"Mommy!" Henry screamed.
"Don't worry lad you'll be with your mother soon," Hook told him as he strained to magic cuffs around Regina's hands and threw her onto a small boat. Henry soon joined her minus the cuffs.
"Hmm which one are you?" Hook said picking up one of her daughters. She knew it was Viveka and she was screaming at the unfamiliar hands on her. "Nope you're the useless one." He threw her into the ocean.
"NO!" Regina screamed as she fought to get out of the cuffs, but her magic had been keeping the water at bay. She wasn't as strong out here alone, not without Emma. Rhiannon, he pulled out just as the boat was sinking lower as the water got higher. He threw her into the boat as well and got in. Regina was going to kill him when they got to Storybrooke. Henry grabbed his sister and pressed them closer into Regina. "I will not stop until you are dead, you know that."
"I imagine you won't, but it won't matter, soon you'll be dead too, and Emma and I will rule supreme."
"She doesn't love you," Regina told him.
"That's just what she tells you, but I know that you are nothing more than a fling, and now that she thinks she's made it up to you, I can free her. Now we have quite a long way to travel, Blue will be pleased to see you."
"I'm sure she will," Regina said. She tried not to think that Viveka was dead, they had started Infant resource training earlier than most, but they knew they would take the boat, and this was the outcome, Hook could have just as easily been a storm. She had to hope that Viveka was floating and someone would pick her up. She also had to hope that she was more resilient then most babies. And she knew Emma would get out of that wreck to come after them. But she had Henry and her little Queen with her, and she had to protect them. "You know the least could do is offer the children your jacket, they're freezing."
"Nah," Hook replied. Regina was just grateful the night air was warm this time of year, they had sunk enough for the cold water to quickly replace the warm surface water.
"If you truly believe that Emma loves you, then you must know that she loves Henry, will you let him freeze. He will tell his mother."
"I'm sure, but I doubt young Henry will live long, I don't know or care why Blue wants him, but it will just be Emma and I to start a new family," Hook said as he drove. Regina shook her head; she was going to murder that blue gnat. She was grateful her hands were cuffed in front of her, so that she could get both children in her arms. Her little Queen screamed the entire time and Henry was sniffling and asking where Emma and Viveka was. Regina reassured him that, they were both fine, and coming for them soon.
"You shouldn't lie to them," Hook said. Regina glared at the back of his head just before her eyes went wide as a soaked King was using her daggers to keep attached to the speeding boat. He didn't hear her get onto the boat from the roar from the engine and the water splashing by or he was faking it either way. King approached with caution, and she was right to do so as she ducked as he swiped at her with his hook. King pretended she would go for his feet prompting him to jump so that when she came up, she had jammed a dagger straight to his heart. It delivered a potent shock through him and so did the second dagger she put in his back, but not before he cut her arm with his hook, he began to pass out.
"King!" Regina exclaimed. King looked at her wrists and quickly looked for a key but found none. "No, you have to control the boat." King slowed the boat down before she threw Hook overboard and returned towards the way they had come. They were shivering by the time they made it back to the area and had to follow slowly behind the crew that had picked up Emma or Viveka, Regina didn't know. What she did know was the coastguard would take one look at her cuffs and attempt to find Hook if they believed it was not King who had done the kidnapping. She scanned the water though for Viveka.
"My Queen, the Savior had her, of that I am sure," King said.
"But you didn't see," Regina said still looking just to be sure.
"No, but I know she made it," King said. "I have no doubt of that." Regina nodded, but she still looked and listened, but she only heard the crying from her Little Queen.
"Shs my little Queen we're going to get you dry and to your Mama and sister, everything will be fine. Regina nearly cried when they were able to spot Emma being taken to a hospital with a baby on her chest. King found a quiet place to park before they managed to break the cuffs. He hadn't had enough magic to make them solid so to speak.
"We can't walk in there looking like drowned rats," Regina said. Regina pulled her drawstring bag out of her pocket. The idiot didn't even realize she had the dagger and sword, the entire time. Out here Emma was right up close he wouldn't be able to tell it from his own dark energy.
"What are we going to do?" King asked.
"Break in for a change of clothes," Regina said. They found a small shop and Regina attempted to pick the lock until King just kicked it in.
"Oh, King now we have to pay for that too," Regina grumbled. They went in and thankfully there was no alarm system or cameras. They changed clothes and found a bag for their wet ones; Regina didn't want to leave any evidence. And she also got new clothes for Viveka and Emma. She left enough cash for the clothes, and to fix the door with a note that said sorry. They made it to the hospital and found Emma and Viveka.
"Can you leave?" Regina asked.
"Officially not until morning," Emma said after she hugged King and thanked her for saving Regina and the kids Henry was practically crying and happy to see Emma and Viveka.
"See didn't I tell you Mama and Vivi were okay?" Regina asked him. He nodded.
"Where's Hook?" Emma asked.
"Swimming back in, but hopefully still passed out from the spell you put on my daggers," King said. "We aren't safe here."
"Well we can't get on a plane this late," Emma said.
"No, we'll take a car to get out of the area tonight, I'm pretty sure he walks everywhere, and doesn't know how to operate a car," Regina said. "I mean the darkness didn't teach him to drive right?"
"Not out here, also the darkness would see us prevail. Why would it settle for Hook when it could have Rhiannon or me?
"Hablemos a calzón quitao, preferably Rhiannon, unless it is using Hook to get Rhiannon back to Storybrooke, we still don't know what is going to happen," King told them. She'd told them to speak honestly particularly Emma in not denying that the darkness would love Rhiannon.
"She's right we don't know, but we must return that is inevitable and deal with the consequences whatever they may be," Regina said even as she kissed her Little Queen hoping and praying that if she did age, she had given her more than enough love to combat it, to be her own person.
"I know God, let's just put some distance between us and him, it will still take him time to swim in, I'd rather not be anywhere in the city when he does," Emma said. They nodded. Emma was easy to discharge against Doctor's wishes, Viveka not to so much without lots of arguing, but they got her while King went out in search of a car. They dressed Viveka warmly, like her sister she was now in a thick sweater. Once they were all leaving, they met King in the last hospital parking lot.
"I broke into a rental place and took off the tracker thingy, you told me about when you said you used to steal cars," King said.
"You learned how to steal a car from my stories," Emma said. "Where did you even get the tools?"
"My Queen's bag," King shrugged. Emma turned on Regina.
"You have car stealing tools?" Emma asked her. Regina shrugged.
"And lock picks, I had to be prepared," Regina said.
"Did you learn how to steal a car too from my stories?"
"No, I focused more on lock picking, but I couldn't unlock it at the clothes store, so King just kicked the door in," Regina pouted.
"Sexiest thing you ever said, I'll teach you how to pick locks, in our free time," Emma said. Regina gave her a smile before turning to King.
"Did you leave money?" Regina asked King.
"Yes, well not physical cash, I also put my new computer skills to use, I mean but it wasn't really that hard because someone left their password out, and then I just completed a sale. So unfortunately, it is traceable to you Emma, but I thought better not to ruin my Queen's reputation she is a mayor."
"Well that card is going to bounce for sure," Emma said.
"No, I put extra money in your account just in case," Regina said.
"Like fifteen thousand dollars' worth, because that's what you must have paid," Emma said as they got into the car.
"Yes," Regina said securing them in the car seats, King no doubt had picked up from the place as well.
"Why do I even bother asking of course you did, is always the answer," Emma muttered as she got in the driver's seat. Regina only demanded one stop and that was to get them some coffee for warmth and Henry a hot chocolate. She nursed both girls individually during the drive. Emma was extra careful in her driving if each child was not in their car seat. By the time they were in Orlando, Emma could sense that Hook was following more quickly then they hoped.
"Plane, we need to take the plane to Boston. He's moving too quickly," Emma said. Regina nodded as they were stopped at a store picking up diapers for the girls first thing that morning.
"Okay pay for these will you," Regina said. Emma nodded and took the supplies to the counter to pay. Regina found a burner cell and plan before joining Emma at the counter. Once she had it hooked up, she was looking for flights out that day.
"Southwest?" Emma asked when instead of going to information, Regina took them straight to the check-in counter.
"What can I say, they're really awesome with their wanna get away deals right now. Well I mean it was expensive, but for our needs they're great," Regina said. Emma nodded.
"No, no checked bags, just three children," Regina said.
"And you booked one seat for your four-year-old, but the infants will be in your lap." Regina nodded. Once they had their tickets they hurried to the gate.
"I can't believe you got four things of soup through security," Emma said eating as they waited to board. King had picked up four soups with Henry.
"They can't see all that I hold," Regina shrugged. The girls were sitting before her on the seat while she squatted in front of them with her soup. They drooled and opened their mouths for some soup. She let them decide what they would eat, and they were mostly on breast milk, but occasionally like now, they wanted in on proper food as Emma referred to it. Rhiannon growled as she looked at Emma.
"Now how come when you want Mama to share you growl at me, but you babble at your mommy?" Emma asked as she blew on the creamy potato, bacon, and green bean soup she had. Rhiannon only gave her a big smile that she returned. Viveka not to be left out bounced and growled as they looked at Emma too who gave them their next spoonful.
"Well if you answer her every time she growls," Regina chucked. Rhiannon had growled at her before, but she'd ignored her until she found a new way to get her attention aside from crying.
"What and not be happy that she has specific signs for me, I think not," Emma said.
"Then don't complain Dark Savior," King chuckled as she finished her soup.
"Mommy where we go?" Henry asked.
"Home my little prince, to Ruby, Lily, Mal, Robin, and Roland. Oh and don't forget your Uncle, he can't wait to play with you." Henry smiled.
"No more bad man?" Henry asked looking between his mothers.
"Lo siento querido, but Hook will follow us, that's why we have to go home where King has more friends to help protect us, and our magic will come back so he can't get near us again."
"You fire ball him?" Henry asked.
"Oh as soon as possible my little prince," Regina told him. Henry nodded.
"Okay mommy if you make a big fire ball that good," Henry said.
"Very good, Hook won't know what hit him when your mommy gets to him!" Emma declared.
"And Mama," Henry added matter of fact making Emma smile.
"Yes, definitely Mama, he won't even see her coming she's so quick!" Regina told him. Emma beamed more at her family. Rhiannon and Viveka growled again and she quickly got back to feeding them. Once they were done, they settled to nurse from Regina until finally they were called. They were in the air when Regina and Emma blocked a strike from Hook, not that it got close to the plane. He just didn't have the exact reach he needed.
"Let's hope he doesn't know where we'll land and it will take him longer to get back to Storybrooke, I want him to be the only threat left when he arrives," Regina said.
