Chapter 88: Feelings and Issues

None of the Jones men were quite sure how they got here. Scratch that, they knew exactly how they got here. A conniving fairy and adventurer set them up and trapped them in the carriage.

The day had by smoothly and they had been setting out on their travels again, when Tink and Alice asked to drive the carriage.

Killian hadn’t seen a problem with it.

Will had grumbled, but Alice’s pleading had done him in.

So the two of them had joined Blackbeard and baby Liam in the carriage, but before they knew it, Alice and Tink had roped them in the carriage, literally. They had taken all the rope they had and essentially locked them in. They also refused to move the carriage any further until everything was settled between the Jones men.

That had been half an hour ago, and the tense silence was getting to Killian.

Both he and Blackbeard had attempted to start a dialogue, but Will just wasn’t having any of it.

Liam pulled at his father’s necklaces, trying to fit the pendants into his little mouth. More specifically the swan pendant that Emma had given him.

Killian gently took them from Liam’s chubby little hands. “No, no, little one.” He didn’t want his son to choke on anything.

Liam pouted at him, but turned his attention to playing with the buttons on his father’s vest.

Blackbeard smiled at the two, though regret seeped in, realizing he’d never had that with Will. His heart sunk further as he realized just how much that he missed out on with Will. He looked over at his son, who was stubbornly looking out the window of the carriage. “You know, we’ll get out of here sooner if you and I talk.”

Killian watched his brother and nephew carefully. He had a feeling that he’d been trapped in here, not only to talk with both of them, but to play mediator.

Will wanted to object, but he knew that Blackbeard was right. “Talk about what?” Will growled. “There’s not much to talk about.”

“Bloody hell.” Killian shook his head.

Will glowered at him. “What?”

Killian sighed and returned Will’s glare. “You’re pissed off at him for abandoning you, he’s pissed off at himself for failing both of us, and I just want to get back to my wife-to-be and my son, so let’s get on with this, yeah? Tell him what you told me. Tell him how you feel.”

A huff escaped Will and he returned to glaring out the window.

Killian rolled his eyes and returned his attention to his son.

Blackbeard wasn’t having it. He swore not to give up on Will, and dammit, he was going to get him to talk to him. “William, I don’t know what the bloody hell to do.”

The use of his full name shocked Will.

“I don’t know what else to do other than apologize and beg for your forgiveness, but you don’t bloody want that, so tell me, what the hell do you want me to do?” Blackbeard snapped, having enough of Will’s attitude.

Killian belatedly thought about covering Liam’s little ears to keep him from hearing the swearing.

Will leaned forward with a glare. “I don’t want anything from you.”

“That’s bull and you know it.” Blackbeard said. “You wouldn’t be so angry if you didn’t care or if you didn’t want something.”

Killian wondered if Liam could teach himself how to teleport if he asked him to.

“Go to hell.” Will snapped.

This time Killian managed to cover Liam’s ears.

“What are you so afraid of?” Blackbeard asked. “Just tell me the truth. Do you think I’ll leave again? Do you think I don’t love you? Do you think I chose to leave you in your mother’s care? I never wanted any of that, but I had responsibilities to you, Killian, and the navy. I thought that sending money and leaving you with your mother was the best thing that I could do for you. You have no idea how many letters I wrote, only to find out that Olivia burned them all, because she claimed she didn’t want you to get ideas in your head about joining the navy and leaving her. Nearly all of my pay went to supporting you and Killian, but I learned later that she only used it for herself. Do you have any idea how many times I came close to taking you away from her? She was still your mother. I thought that she loved you. That she was doing what she could to protect you. Did she not? Was Killian not the only child she abused? Tell me. Because if I had any idea that you were less than cared for and less than loved, I would’ve taken you away. My entire life, all I wanted was a family. You and Killian would’ve been enough. Believe me.”

The shocked silence that followed threatened to overwhelm them all.

Killian had some idea about Blackbeard’s feelings and motivations, but even he hadn’t been prepared for the rant of frustration that his brother had released.

For Will, it was hard to believe the words the Blackbeard was saying, but at the same time, he could see the sincerity and the earnestness in Blackbeard’s entire countenance. Will had no idea what to say. He was at a complete loss for words.

Blackbeard sat back and rubbed a hand over his face. He hadn’t meant to reveal all of that, but once he started, he couldn’t stop.

Killian looked between the two of them again, feeling that it wasn’t yet his place to say anything. This needed to be between father and son.

It was a long while before Will finally found the words. “I just wanted a father.”

Blackbeard felt a sharp pain in his heart at his son’s confession and a wave of sympathy shot through him. He remembered all too well wanting a father.

“I just wanted you to be there for me.” Will continued. “I wanted you to be there every day, to play with me, to teach me, to tuck me in at night, to tell me stories. Hell, I’d even take you being a disciplinarian whenever I stepped out of line. But you…you just weren’t there. You visited, but that wasn’t often. I just…I just wanted you to be there.”

“I’m here now.” Blackbeard said, his tone soft. “I know that that doesn’t make up for anything, but I’m here now. I don’t plan on going anywhere.”

Will wasn’t sure if he could trust Blackbeard’s words. He wanted to throw them back in his face. He wanted to question it. He didn’t want to put his faith and trust in the man, especially since he had been let down before. But there was an intense, determined look in Blackbeard’s eyes, and it was one that Will had seen before in Killian whenever Killian set out to do something. Killian was a man of his word, and Will felt in that moment, so was Blackbeard. Despite his own fears, Will decided to take the leap and hope that his father wouldn’t let him down again. “All right.”

Blackbeard looked hopeful. “All right?”

Will shrugged. “Well, we are stuck with each other for a while, so yeah, all right.”

Will was trying to be nonchalant about it all, but both Blackbeard and Killian could see the fear and doubt in his eyes.

Blackbeard nodded. “All right, then.”

“Good.” Killian said. “Now that that’s settled, we can tell them to let us out of here.”

Zelena was overwhelmed by the reception she had received a couple of days ago. Everyone had been grateful to have Grace returned.

Regina had even met her and proved that the second glamour spell to change her hair color and facial features worked. Regina hadn’t recognized her at all.

It allowed for Zelena to stay in the castle with no suspicion.

So far, she was fitting in. She was actually fitting in for once in her life.

Grace talked to her all of the time and even gave her a tour of the castle, having roped August in to help. August was kind to her, and Zelena couldn’t stop the butterflies that fluttered around in her stomach. Ruby and Jefferson were grateful to her, but they were still wary, almost as if they weren’t sure if she could be trusted, but they were still kind to her. David and Snow had been the most welcoming and had thanked her for her heroism and invited her to stay in the castle. Others varied in their reactions to her, but no one suspected her of coming to do evil or harm them. For the most part, as long as she was polite and kind and helped out with things, people liked her.

She couldn’t believe it. People actually liked her.

It made her feel lighter than she’d ever felt in her life. It was as if a huge weight had lifted off her shoulders.

That was, it did, until some called her Lena and then she remembered.

She remembered why she was here. Ingredients for her spell. This was a reconnaissance mission; this wasn’t play time. She had to keep her distance from these people. She needed her time travel spell to be a priority. After all, the whole reason she was doing this spell was because she wanted a better life. She wanted a life where she would always be loved and accepted. A life where she never had had to go hungry, a life where her adoptive father’s wrath still didn’t make her flinch, a life where she had never been alone.

That was her goal.

Yet, she could hardly remember the last time so many people were happy to have her around, even if they didn’t know who she really was. They had all welcomed her into their refuge, the place they were calling home until they could rebuild.

It warmed an icy spot in her heart.

Zelena shook herself. This wasn’t why she was here. She was here for her spell. She had plans and no amount of niceties would keep her from her ultimate goal. Zelena wasn’t weak, and she wouldn’t let these emotions run her life.

She wouldn’t let her growing closeness with anyone her ruin her plans. She would remain apart from them, as she always had been. Zelena just hoped that she was strong enough to push these growing feelings aside.

Snow had just gotten out of a meeting, and stretched. They had finally begun the first steps towards rebuilding. The village that they planned to build come spring now had plans and designers. Marco, August, and the dwarves had the most construction experience, and were the leads, while she and David delegated out more jobs and looked over the plans for the village.

All in all, it had been good progress. Once the winter weather cleared up, they would begin the process of clearing the woods and using that lumber to build the buildings, starting with houses.

She walked through the hallway, intent on going to find a snack, when an open door caught her eye.

Snow froze.

It was the door to her childhood bedroom. The one that Regina had attacked in anger.

Suddenly, Snow was filled with anger. No one should be going into that room. It held too many memories and too much pain. She took a deep, calming breath. It was unreasonable of her to be angry. It could be that someone, perhaps even a child, had found the room and wondered why it wasn't being used. She was a leader; this was no time to let her emotions rule her.

Snow walked over to the door and looked inside of the room.

Regina was at the center of the room, waving her hands, magic crackling through the air.

The room was devoid of the scorch marks that Snow had found when she had first stumbled upon the room.

As Regina used her magic, the room was slowly becoming clean, being restored to it’s former glory.

Even as Snow saw what Regina was doing, she couldn’t help but feel pain and anger well up in her. Regina had no right to restore what she had destroyed. She had destroyed Snow’s life, had taken away her father, her home, her True Love, her daughter. Did she think restoring a room would make up for all of that? Did she think that after everything that she had done, that Snow could forgive her for it all if she fixed this room?

“What are you doing?” Snow asked with a deceptive calmness. She was trying hard to rein in her emotions.

Regina turned around, a startled look on her face. “Snow, I…I was hoping to surprise you.”

“Surprise me?” Snow questioned. She crossed her arms over her chest, holding herself, trying to keep from lashing out.

“Yes.” Regina looked nervous. “I…I took so much from you. Whenever you beat me, I came here and vented my anger. It was wrong of me. I was trying to restore this room for you. I wanted it to be a symbol of a new start for all of us.”

“You think fixing my room is going to change everything?” Snow snarled. “You think that fixing this changes everything that you’ve done to me? To my family?”

Regina flinched at the harshness of Snow’s tone. “That’s not what I meant. I know that I can never make up for what I’ve done…”

“You’re damn right you can’t.” Snow snapped. “You took everything from me. You killed my father and framed me for it. I spent a decade on the run from you, not getting to live my life, but just trying to survive. You committed mass murder and genocide all to get to me, and then I beat you and showed mercy, and you took away everyone’s happy ending. You took away my daughter, twice, and now any hope I had to make up for lost time is gone.”

Regina swallowed, trying not to let her emotions show. She knew more than anyone that she was deserving of Snow’s anger. She knew what she had done; it was why she was trying to be good now. Regina wanted so much to make up for everything; she wanted to prove that she could be good. Redemption was all that she had left, and she promised Henry, and that was not a promise that she was going to break. “Snow, I know what I’ve done. I don’t need my crimes thrown in my face…”

“Maybe you do!” Snow wanted Regina to hurt. It was only fair.

“Stop it!” Regina cried. “Just listen to me, please.”

“Why should I?” Snow’s glare was fierce. “What have you ever done to make me believe or trust you?”

“I’m trying to fix things now.” Regina said. “I want to change. I want to be better.”

“Why is it always about what you want?” Snow snapped. “No one cares about what the Evil Queen wants.”

Regina nodded. “Okay, you’re upset, so I’m just going to go.”

“You mean you’re going to run, because it’s too tough to face the truth.” Snow said.

Regina had no words for Snow. She couldn’t let this argument go any further, so she poofed away before Snow could say anything more.

Snow shook her head and looked around the room. Regina couldn’t have thought that fixing this would fix all of their problems, could she have? Snow left the room, slamming the door shut.

They didn’t need Regina to make up for anything. They needed Regina to go away and get out of their lives.

It was futile. He was finally giving up. After days of trying to get her out of his head, August was conceding defeat. Apparently, his head wanted to think of nothing but Lena, and it refused to let August stop thinking about her.

Why couldn’t he stop thinking about her?

He shook his head.

It’s not like she was something special, but at the same time, his heart kept telling her that she was. He couldn’t stop thinking about how blue her eyes were; how they reminded him of a cloudless blue sky. Her hair shone in the sun like a fire that he couldn’t help but drift towards. Like a moth to a flame. Her laughter had made his stomach clench, but not in an unpleasant way. She was so kind and sweet and August found himself seeking her out more often than not.

He couldn’t help it. She was like some kind of magnet that just pulled him to her.

August wondered if he should court her. Should he even try? Should he approach her and ask her to dinner? Should they just stay friends? Were they friends? They had just met only a few days ago.

Okay, so he needed to pace himself. Right now, it was just a little crush. He shouldn’t act on it. First, he needed to get to know Lena better. He needed to know that there was a possibility for more than just a physical attraction. Maybe then, after they got to know each other, then if she was interested, he’d take the chance.

Right now though, staying friends was good. It was also safe. If they remained friends, then there wasn’t a chance that he could screw things up. August definitely didn’t want to screw this up. He had never felt this kind of crush before.

Lena made him feel something more, and he wanted to know what it was and why she made him feel this way.

August knew that he couldn’t rush through this. He needed to take his time. Besides, so far, Lena was proving to be a great friend.

Now August just needed to come up with more excuses to be around her.

Maybe he could help her settle in, or maybe he could convince her to help him and his Papa with some odd jobs.

Yeah, that could work. He could work with that. Now, he just had to keep his cool, and not act like a nervous schoolboy. He had to be smooth. He could do smooth.

August swallowed. Yep, smooth.

Aurora couldn’t believe that she was doing this, but it had to be done.

Mulan had been avoiding her for too long.

They needed to talk about the kiss, about the unspoken…something between them.

Aurora wasn’t content to leave the matter unresolved. Mulan was her best friend and her closest companion; maybe she felt more for Mulan than she should, and maybe Mulan didn’t feel the same way, but if they didn’t talk about this, then they’d never get their relationship back on track.

Which was why Aurora was heading to Mulan’s room, where she hoped Mulan would be.

She knocked on the door, trying to ignore her nerves that were telling her to back out and leave while she had the chance. “Mulan? Are you in there?”

There wasn’t an answer.

Aurora sighed. Maybe Mulan wasn’t there. Aurora turned around, ready to go search for the warrior, when she came face to face with Mulan.

Mulan looked tense. “Yes, Aurora?”

“I…I wanted to talk to you.” Aurora said, recovering from her surprise.

“About?” Mulan asked cooly, crossing her arms over her chest.

Aurora tried not to be hurt by Mulan’s coldness. She tried not to be disappointed that Mulan might not feel anything for her. Her heart was trying not to break. “About our kiss?”

If it was possible, Mulan stiffened even more. “What is there to say? You were drunk.”

Somehow, her blasé response hurt Aurora even more. “I know, but…the kiss…”

“The kiss was a mistake.” Mulan said. “You were drunk and affectionate.”

Aurora composed herself, trying to hide the hurt that Mulan’s words inflicted. “It was more than that.”

“No, it wasn’t.” Mulan said. “It was a mistake. I’m sorry that it happened.”

Aurora bit the inside of her cheek. Mulan wasn’t going to budge on the matter. There was nothing more to say. All Aurora could do now was to shove aside her own feelings, and apologize for her mistake. “I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have done that. It was a drunken mistake.”

Something flashed in Mulan’s eyes, but Aurora didn’t know what it was.

“Apology accepted, princess.” Mulan said.

It was too formal, too stilted, and Aurora felt then and there that she would never get her friend back. “Thank you.” Aurora turned around and walked away, holding back her tears, and trying desperately to keep the ache in her chest from overwhelming her. It was clear that Mulan had no feelings for her, and it was clear that Aurora could never let her feel anything for Mulan again.

Killian was getting frustrated. They had been traveling for weeks and still no sign of anyone. Any village that they had come across was abandoned. It seemed that most everyone on this side of the Enchanted Forest had gotten caught up in the curse.

That wasn’t exactly helping make the search for portals any easier; he knew it would take time to get back to Emma and Henry. He wasn’t going to give up, but it was disheartening to say the least.

He wanted more than anything to be reunited with them. For Liam to be reunited with them. For them to be a family again.

“What’s on your mind?” Tink asked.

“Emma and Henry.” Killian answered.

Tink gave him a sympathetic look. “They’re always on your mind.”

“That they are.” He agreed. It was true. Ever since his return to the Enchanted Forest, Emma and Henry consumed his waking and sleeping hours. While he was awake, his goal was finding a way back to them, and while he slept he had those dreams of them living their life in that apartment that he wasn’t even sure was real. It felt real though. It felt as though he was really watching their lives in the Land Without Magic.

“Don’t worry, Killian.” Tink reassured him with a pat on the back. “If there’s one thing I’m sure of, it’s your knack for getting the job done despite all odds. You will be reunited with them again.”

Killian sighed. “I know, but it’s so hard. I miss them so much, and Liam is growing up without them. It isn’t fair. We deserve to be together.”

“I know.” Tink said. “And you will be. I know it’s hard now, and that we haven’t had any success, but you have to have hope. We will find a way, Killian. I promise.”

“There has to be something out there that can traverse realms.” Killian said. “Something that the Dark One and Regina missed.”

“Well, there’s always mermaids.” Tink suggested. “They can open portals to other realms.”

Killian shivered at the thought. His only experience with mermaids was in Neverland and that wasn’t exactly pleasant. Mermaids in Neverland were absolutely viscous. “I’d rather exhaust all other options first. Mermaids would have to be a last resort.”

“Unless Anton has more magic beans hidden somewhere, or unless we find more giants, then I think our options will be severely limited.” Tink wasn’t keen on mermaids either, but she knew that they all had to be realistic in this endeavor. Especially Killian. This was his promise to keep, and he needed to be aware of as many options that they could get.

There was another reason that Killian was hesitant to use mermaids. Mermaids could only open small portals and only under water. Killian would do just fine swimming and holding his breath, but Liam was just a baby. If they used a mermaid, then Killian couldn’t take Liam with him. It was too risky. “I know, Tink, but let’s just try. There has to be something other than magic beans and mermaids. There has to be.”

“A Dark Curse?” Tink suggested with a cheeky grin.

Killian shook his head, his lips curving into a small smile. “You’re not funny.”

“I’m hilarious.” Tink winked at him.

Killian chuckled. “Ladies and gentlemen, my sister.”

Tink started at the term, but felt a surge of warm affection for Killian. “Come on, little brother. Blackbeard might need saving from your son’s diapers.”

“I’m three hundred years older than you.” Killian said with mock offense.

“All right, come on then, old man.” Tink giggled. “Let’s save your brother from babysitting duties.”

Killian couldn’t help but laugh. It was nice to have people around, to have family around. It kept him sane and it kept him from wallowing in his failure. He couldn’t wallow. Emma and Henry needed him to stay focused. Liam needed him to keep it together.

He would do it for them. His family.

And one day soon, they would all be together again.

Regina found herself in the stables. Horses and being with them had always calmed her when she was younger. Before Daniel’s death , it was the one refuge where she could go to without having to think of her mother. Her mother had never set foot in the stables until Regina had gotten older, so the stables had been her safe haven.

It was her thinking spot. After her argument with Snow, Regina needed a place to think. Would she ever be able to make up for all the wrongs that she committed? Would she ever be seen as more than the Evil Queen? Was she doomed to be seen as evil for the rest of her days? How could she make up for all that she’d done?

Regina entered a stall and patted a mare, feeding her an apple. “Good girl.” At least horses didn’t shy away from her. She took a brush and began to groom the mare to help calm her own nerves. As she brushed the sable coat, Regina lost herself in her turmoiled thoughts. Was Snow right? Was Regina redeeming herself for selfish reasons? Was it all about what she wanted? All Regina was trying to do was be a better person. All she wanted was to be accepted again. Was that too much to ask for?

She couldn’t just give up though. What was the point of all of the hard work she’d already done if she just gave up now?

“What are you doing here?” Robin’s voice came from behind her.

Regina sighed. She was tired of people asking her that. She lived here for crying out loud. “Would you believe it if I said I just like horses?”

Robin scoffed. “I figured queens weren’t the kind of people that would set foot in a stable.”

“Maybe you shouldn’t judge people you don’t know all that well.” Regina snapped. She was so tired of everyone just seeing the Evil Queen. When was anyone ever going to see Regina for herself?

Robin gave her a distrustful look.

Really, Regina should be used to it by now. No one else in the castle seemed to trust her. Everyone just seemed to tolerate or ignore her presence. “How about we skip the formalities of acknowledging each other’s presence and just ignore each other?”

“You’re hard to ignore.” Robin said.

Regina didn’t know what he meant by that, but his expression had turned dark. “All right forest boy, you have something to say, then just get it out.”

“Fine.” Robin said. “I think that you can’t change. You’re the Evil Queen, and spots don’t change overnight. I think that you have some kind of endgame and that you’re playing all of us.”

Regina hated to admit it, but his judgement of her hurt. She didn’t know why she thought he’d be different. He certainly hadn’t trusted her in Neverland. But that was it, wasn’t it? Robin, Snow, David, August, they had all been in Neverland, they had all been there to see her try to change for Henry. Hell, other than Robin, everyone else had been in Storybrooke before the whole Neverland thing and then Regina had not done an evil thing. She’d killed her own mother to protect Henry and the town. But it wasn’t enough. Regina was starting to think that nothing would ever be enough. “I know what I’ve done, and I’m not going to make excuses. I am trying to change. Believe me, or don’t, I don’t care.”

“Of course, you don’t.” Robin said. “You don’t have a heart.”

His words were like a slap to the face.

Regina dropped the brush and pushed past him, running from the stables.

Robin tried to ignore the fact that Regina had tears in her eyes as she left.

David knew as soon as he walked into their bedroom that Snow was upset. He walked over to where Snow sat on the terrace.

She was staring out at the sky. There was a lost look on her face.

David had seen that look before, and he wondered what put it on her face this time. “You want to talk about it?”

Snow turned to look at him. “After everything Regina has done, why do we let her stay here?”

The question startled David, and he had no idea how to answer it. “What exactly happened?”

Snow sighed and explained to him how she had found Regina in her old, childhood room and what Regina had been up to.

David wasn’t sure how to react to this. On the one hand, he definitely understood where Snow was coming from and that she was venting over Regina; airing out her grievances against her stepmother, which had been a long time coming. On the other hand, Regina might’ve have been trying to do something nice; Regina had been trying to change, she had helped them all with the refugees, she had run the Wicked Witch off, she had returned the hearts that she had taken. What if fixing Snow’s room was Regina’s first steps to making amends with Snow specifically? After all, Regina had done so much more to Snow personally than anyone else. “Snow, I know what Regina has done. To all of us. She ruined so many lives.”

“Why do I feel like I’m about to hear a but?” Snow didn’t look to happy about that.

“She’s done nothing against us since she killed Cora.” David said. “She killed her own mother to save Henry, to save all of us. Then she went to get help from Archie and she helped us in Neverland. She gave Emma and Henry happy memories when we were taken from them. Ever since we’ve been back, she’s actively worked to shed her old persona.”

“She also teamed up with Cora.” Snow reminded him. “It was easier for her. They killed Johanna.”

“But after that, after Cora died, Regina stayed on the right path.” David said. “I know you have every reason to hate her, hell, I wanted to execute her all those years ago. But you let her go, you showed mercy, and the Snow that I fell in love with, she would give Regina another chance. Especially with all the good that Regina has done now.”

“But how can I ignore everything that she’s done?” Snow asked.

“I’m not saying ignore it.” David said. “I think you need to work through it, and then I think you and Regina need to sit down and have a talk.”

Snow had no idea how she would ever be able to work through any of it.

David pulled her into his arms, hugging her tightly. “I’m here, you know. Whatever you need to talk about, I’m here.”

Snow returned the hug. “I know. I love you, David.”

“I love you too.” David kissed the top of her head. “We’ll get through this. Together. Just like we always have.”

Snow pulled away and looked at David with love in her eyes. “That we do.”

David gave her a reassuring smile.

Snow tucked herself back into David’s side. She could get through anything so long as she had him with her.

It was odd to find himself clean shaven after three hundred years of having a beard. He’d never shaved it before, only trimming it, and after all this time, he was looking at the face of Liam Jones.

Blackbeard didn’t know what to feel about seeing his face like that after so long. He didn’t feel like he was that man anymore, but he had to get back to that man. He had to be better. For Will, for Killian, for Liam, for Tink, for Alice. They were his family and they deserved the best version of himself.

“Look at that.” Killian’s tone was amused.

Blackbeard looked up from the river. “I look like my old self again.”

Killian smiled. “How does it feel?”

“It feels good.” Blackbeard admitted. “Really good.”

“That’s good.” Killian said. “Change can be good.”

“That it can.” Blackbeard sighed. He ran a hand over his now smooth face. “It feels weird too though.”

Killian chuckled. He knew all too well that shaving made him feel odd. Of course, Emma didn’t like it when he shaved. She was a very big fan of his scruff.

“Do you think Tink will like it?” Blackbeard asked. There was nervousness in his tone.

“I’m sure she’ll love it.” Killian said.

Blackbeard let out a small laugh. “I hope so.”

A comfortable silence fell between them as they walked back towards their camp. As Killian watched his brother rejoin the camp, the pleasant surprise on the others faces as they took in a clean shaven Blackbeard, Killian felt pleased.

He might just be getting his brother back after all.

“Are you sure about this?” August asked Robin as Robin packed up his saddle.

“It’s time.” Robin said. “I’ve done all that I can here. My men need me. Besides, I’m sure there’s a lot I can do at Aurora’s castle to help the refugees there.”

“You sure I can’t convince you to stay?” August asked. “People like having you around.”

Robin gave him a grin. “You all have been great hosts and fantastic friends, really. But it’s time for me to figure out what I meant to do now. To do that, I need to return to my men.”

August chuckled. “Off to go find any riches to give to the poor?”

“No, I think those days are over.” Robin said. “After all, we’re all in the same boat now.”

Roland waddled over to his father.

Robin knelt down and picked the boy up. “Ready to go see the Merry Men?”

“Yay.” The toddler clapped his hands.

“You know, you’re always welcome here.” August told him. “You have friends here.”

“I know.” Robin shook August’s hand. “Thank you all, for everything. Some day, I might return, but I have things to do.”

August nodded. “Just be careful. Watch out for any wicked witches and flying monkeys, okay?”

“Will do.” Robin led the horse out of the stable, carrying Roland with his other arm. As they arrived outside, Robin bundled Roland up tighter. Robin handed the boy over to August before mounting his horse.

August handed Roland over.

“Safe travels, my friend.” August said.

“Thank you.” Robin said. “If you need anything, you know where to find me.”

“Same to you.” August said.

Robin commanded the horse forward. He felt a pain of regret over his final words to Regina, though he wasn’t sure why. He believed what he said, didn’t he? She had committed so much evil, that she could never redeem herself from it.

Still, guilt ate at him.

He ignored it and rode of towards Aurora’s castle, hoping to make it there before mid-afternoon.

Zelena was back at the Dark One’s castle for the first time in nearly a week. Her monkeys had been restless, waiting for her return.

“It’s all right, my darlings.” Zelena cooed. “I’m back, now.”

Zelena wondered though. She still had misgivings about her plan, and she wasn’t sure if it was her newfound feelings, or if it was the thought of the Savior that was always at the back of her mind.

The Savior could ruin everything if she was given the chance. She needed to ensure that the Savior couldn’t come back. She needed to make sure that someone kept the Savior in the Land Without Magic for good.

But who could do the job? Who would be completely loyal to her and her endgame?

Her monkeys squawked for attention.

A lightbulb went off in her head.

Her monkeys. It was perfect. She could send one of her monkeys to keep the Savior busy. Her eyes caught sight of the perfect one for the job. “Oh Walsh, could you come here.”

It was perfect. She would give him the orders and send him through to the Land Without Magic. She’d give him everything that he would need to set up an identity and a life in that land. Of course, since portals couldn’t reach the Land Without Magic, the easiest thing to do would be to send Walsh to Neverland where he could fly into the Land Without Magic, and start setting up his life.

Once he did, all that was left for him to do would be to keep an eye on the Savior and stop her from ever returning.
