Roses | Killian Jones

18

Neal had met his untimely demise, but now the people of Storybrooke have something much worse to worry about.

The trigger.

It's a failsafe Regina implemented into the curse.

Greg and Tamara activated the trigger, and there's not a lot of time to stop it.

In fact, there's not much that can be done to stop it.

Scarlett and Killian sit on the deck of the Jolly Roger and look out to sea.

Scarlett sighs and looks down at her lap. Killian notices this, and uses his hook to gently tilt her head up so she looks at him.

" Are you alright, love?" He asks.

As she looks into his deep blue eyes, she feels a sense of calm wave over herself.

" Yes, darling," Scarlett says.

She leans forward to peck his lips. Killian tries to deepen the kiss, but she pulls away.

" What if I told you that we could go back home?" Scarlett asks.

" Do you have any idea how hard I worked to get here? And now you want to go back?" Killian asks.

" I have a magic bean. We can use it and go home... together," She says.

Killian tucks a piece of her hair behind her ear with his hook as he looks her in the eyes.

" My home... is you, love," He says.

His words make her smile, but only momentarily. She know that the trigger will soon wipe Storybrooke off the map.

Little did she know that at this very moment, her mother was underground with the trigger. Regina used everything she had to try and slow down the trigger... but she ended up destroying it completely and saved the town.

Killian and Scarlett look off to the side and see Greg and Tamara dragging Henry to the edge of the dock, followed by the Charmings and Regina. Before Scarlett can even move, a bean is thrown into the water to create a portal, and Greg and Tamara jump through, taking Henry with them.

Scarlett and Killian are quick to jump off the ship and join the heroes and the mayor.

" What the hell just happened?!" Scarlett exclaims.

" They took Henry..." Emma says.

" No shit," Scarlett says, " I mean, where did they go?"

" They've taken Henry?" Gold asks as he walks up to them.

" Yeah, you're the Dark One. Do something," David says.

" Gold, help us," Emma pleads.

" There's no way. I spent a lifetime trying to cross worlds to find my son. There's no way in this world without a portal," Gold says.

" Actually... I have a way to fix that," Scarlett says as she takes the bean out from her pocket.

" Were you going to just leave us here?" Emma asks.

" Yeah," Scarlett shrugs, " But now we can use it to save Henry."

" And we can use my ship to save the lad, " Killian says, " The Jolly Roger has faced many a portals. She's a fine ship."

" Are you over compensating a little bit?" Emma asks, earning a dirty look from both Scarlett and Killian.

" Let's do it," Mary says.

Everyone climbs aboard the Jolly Roger. Gold waves his hand, and a magic globe appears on a crate. He pricks his finger, then lets the blood drip down onto the globe. It forms a map, and the terrain is all too familiar to the pirate.

It's off to Neverland they go.
