The Jolly Roger was anchored at the docks of Storybrooke, he saw that the coast was clear and he jumped off the boat then proceeded to assist Cora off the ship, "Well, my dear Cora, this is where we shall part ways. Thank you for everything. It's time for me to skin my crocodile," Captain Hook said and turned to leave.

Cora disappeared in smoke and reappeared in smoke, in front of him, "You might want to rethink this," Cora said.

"We had a deal. Get out of my way," Captain Hook said.

"Believe it or not, I'm doing you a favour," Cora said.

"By preventing my vengeance?" Captain Hook said.

"Ask yourself how I'm doing that," Cora said.

"What vessel?" Cora asked.

"What vessel?" Cora asked

"W...why that one right..." The fisherman pointed towards the Jolly Roger but Cora waved her hand and the ship turned invisible, "Hey, that's a neat trick," He looked at her, "You some kind of magician back in our land?" He asked her.

Annoyed, Cora waved her hand and transformed the fisherman into a fish and it flopped on deck.

Captain Hook approached it and kicked it into the water and turned to Cora, "What did you do to my ship?" Captain Hook asked

Captain Hook approached it and kicked it into the water and turned to Cora, "What did you do to my ship?" Captain Hook asked.

"I hid it from prying eyes. For what we both want to do, we need the element of surprise. Now you ready to listen to me?" Cora said.
