Neal sat at the Formica table with his hands laced together. They rested on the tabletop. He stared at the fake wood grain. The artificial light glint off the top and distorted the uniform design. He felt like he blended into the whole room. He had on a khaki uniform with tan shoes. The walls were an off olive color. The floor was the hue of oatmeal. It was the first time ever being in this room. He never thought he'd ever come here. But he had a visitor. He never thought he'd have a visitor.

Eyes grew wide when he saw who it was. Well this got even more unusual. "How did you... how did you figure out I was here?" he asked. "It's not like anyone knows. I couldn't let someone take the fall for something I did."

“Why are you staring at me like that?” Neal isn’t unused to stares. He’s a man constantly on the run. A criminal. But this person is looking at him like they KNOW him. Which would be strange since HE doesn’t even know himself. Since he woke up in New York a year ago he’s been attempting to piece his life back together. Work out just who he is.

“we should probably find a place to get some rest,” he suggests all of a sudden, looking back at the other. they had been walking for a while now, and neal’s limping leg’s starting to take a toll on him. plus, hunger’s another one of his problems, so he’s hoping to brush that off with a nice nap. “it’s almost night out, and those damn guards will be out soon.”

@innocentiaperdita asked: “I keep having these… memories. I see flashes. I think I have a life here. But I can’t tell if it’s real.” [Jen @ Neal]

"Flashes huh?" His gaze moved from the open drawer, there was a lot of old papers in his Father's hand but nothing of value to Neal now. There's bits of his Father, both the good and the bad, and it feels like a ghost that's continued hovering over his shoulder. The lines between Baelfire and Neal Cassidy blur in a way that would put him on the edge. It's not until his eyes settle on Flynn that he realizes that his friend is already free-falling. "Yeah, I know the feeling." He gulped, "You ever make a deal with the Dark One?" | &. Captain Marvel Sentence Starters / Accepting

@thesearetheirstcries gets an AU starter for Emma

Neal Cassidy was far from perfect, but he constantly tried to be the best father he could be to his son, Henry. Still, there was a lot of guilt he held on to. Neal had found out Emma was pregnant from August. How August had managed to find out, he'll never know. It was after their conversation in Vancouver, when Neal had given him the keys to the bug and the twenty grand for Emma. Neal had promised he'd stick with their plan and stay away from Emma. But, as much as he tried, he couldn't.

Neal had tried to find her. He'd been doing research on the sly, hoping against all hopes that he'd be able to locate her. Only August found him first. And he was none too happy that Neal was breaking their agreement. So, he made a new one. If Neal cooperated and left Emma alone, so that she could fulfill her destiny and break the curse, Neal could have his son.

That had stopped him in his tracks. His son. His and Emma's son. He'd been sucker punched at the reveal that Emma was pregnant. And it only made him feel like a bigger asshole for going along with any of this. But, it was too late to undo it. He knew that. And the idea of his son growing up without him? It was that unsettling thought that led Neal to agree to August's terms.

And so, he stayed away as promised. And sure enough, August had pulled some strings (haha, get it pulled some strings? I'll go away now xD), and Neal ended up being able to adopt his own child. He'd raised Henry on his own for the last ten years. Neal had made a life for the two of them, though it wasn't easy at first. He had to take odd jobs in the beginning, and it wasn't until Henry was five that Neal was able to make his dream a reality and actually make a living doing what he loved: drawing and painting. He was now a successful artist.

He had been determined at all costs to stay far away from Storybrooke, Maine, but fate had other ideas. The two had been on a road trip two years ago, and due to a storm, Neal ended up getting lost, and as luck would have it, they ended up in the last place he ever wanted to be. The cursed town he knew his father was in. And yet, Henry immediately took to Storybrooke and Neal couldn't break his son's heart by making him leave. So, they'd made it their home.

The day Henry came home from school with a book of fairy tales from his teacher, Mary Margaret, was the day Neal knew that everything was about to change. Part of him wanted it to. Because he knew the curse could only be broken by Emma, and of course he wanted to see her again. But, breaking the curse also meant facing his demons, and Neal had been running for so long he wasn't sure he knew how to do that.

Henry was enthralled by the book, and he'd already figured out who quite a few people in town were. When he told Neal about the curse, he was surprised that Neal believed him, but Neal, unable to lie to his son, told him the truth. Well, most of it. Neal never talked about Henry's mother, and Henry never really asked. But, the more he read, the more he knew he had to find her.

The book gave him the information his father wouldn't. Her name was Emma Swan. With that information, Henry, being the bright boy he was, did his own research into Emma Swan. And he located her in Boston. He just needed to get there. He swiped Neal's AMEX and Mastercard and set off on a bus for Boston.

It only took Neal a few hours to realize what had happened. First a call from his school saying he hadn't shown up. And then the discovery that his credit cards were missing. A quick call to the company told him the card had been used to purchase a bus fare to Boston. What the hell? Did they not check ID's anymore?

Henry wasn't one to run away, so what was he doing? What could he possibly want in Boston? A search of his room garnered the answer. An address on a notepad. Emma. Neal looked at his watch. If he left now, he could probably beat Henry there. Buses make stops, he wouldn't. Racing out of his apartment, Neal got in his car and sped out of Storybrooke, the town line becoming a blur as he headed off.

Nearly four hours later, Neal pulled into a small parking lot just off an apartment building. His heart sped up as he realized he was closer to Emma than he'd been in years. Physically, anyway. Parking his car, he got out and was about to go inside when a bus pulled up. Right on time. A few people got off and Neal spotted a familiar face among them. He leaned against a light pole as he stared at his son expectantly. 

"Uh...hi dad." Henry said, looking both surprised and a bit scared. "Are you mad?"

"Mad? Henry! What are you doing?"

"Dad, I had to! She has to break the curse." Neal realized a few people were staring and he took Henry's arm and led him to the side of the building. "Kid, listen, I know you want to see the curse broken and for everyone to get their memories back, but we can't just waltz up to her door and say 'Hey, we need you to break a curse.'

Henry frowned. "It's true, isn't it? She's my mom?"

Neal sighed. "Yes. Henry, it's true."

"I'm not leaving until I talk to her."

"Alright, alright, but I'm coming with you. I'm not leaving you here alone. Oh, and uh, hand over the credit cards." Neal held out his hand expectantly. Henry looked sheepish and handed over his dad's cards. "Never again, Henry. Ever." He warned.

"Come on." Henry said, running inside. Neal sighed. This was it. It was now or never.

As they took the elevator up to the second floor, Neal listened to his son talk excitedly about Emma's role as the savior and speculating how she might break the curse. He never should've told him. The doors opened and Henry headed down the hall. "Two oh five...two oh five." He stopped in front of her door, with Neal close behind. Henry knocked and Neal's eyes widened and he hid against the wall. Shit. If she saw him, she wouldn't even open the door.
