Twice Upon A Time - Season 2 (reader x once upon a time)

The Doctor - Storybrooke

Thursday, April 9

Regina was driving back home during a thunderstorm. She was near the clock tower when she stopped abruptly. Another car had cut her off at the intersection. When she looked through the windshield to check that the road was clear, Regina saw a man standing in the rain across from her. Lighting illuminated the dark sky then, allowing Regina to see his face, recognizing him immediately. It was Daniel

Regina looked down to grab her purse, intending on going to him, but when she looked back up, he was gone

Friday, April 10

During the whole morning, Regina had been unable to stop thinking about what she had seen the previous night, so she went to her father's mausoleum to check Daniel's coffin. When she arrived she found it empty so she went to the hospital. She needed to talk to Dr. Whale immediately

After searching the hospital, Regina went down to the basement, but the psych ward was deserted

"Dr. Whale? Where are you?" she called out entering the autopsy room "Dr. Whale?" she repeated, looking around the trashed room. Things had been thrown to the floor, the light were dangling out the ceiling and flickering constantly. There was a trolley with bloody sheets on it. Regina lifted them up and gasped in shock, stepping back. There was a severed arm underneath the sheets. She quickly recovered and noticed Dr. Whale was lying on the floor behind the trolley. She pushed it away and kneeled next to him

"Whale? Whale?" she asked, waking him from his unconscious state "I know you took Daniel's body and you took one of my hearts. Why?" she asked. When he didn't answer, she insisted "Why!? Did you bring him back?" she asked hopeful

"I did it" Whale answered painfully

Regina smiled "He's alive?" she wondered

"Yes, I brought him back but" Whale said softly before shaking his head "He's not Daniel"

"What?" Regina asked confused

"He's a monster" Whale whispered

After picking up Henry from school, David drove him to the town's stables. David got out of his truck, Henry following him and yawning. David saw this and asked

"Come on, what's with the yawn? This isn't school. It should be fun"

"I couldn't sleep" Henry replied

David sighed, stopping at the stable's door and looking Henry in the eyes "Hey, I know. I miss them too" he said "Now, just think how happy Emma, Angie and Snow will be when they come home to find that you've become a proper knight" he continued, walking into the building with Henry by his side "Say hello to your steed" he told Henry, showing him a row of stalls with horses

"Is he mine?" Henry asked excitedly, going over to one of the stalls

"Nt, nt, nt, nt. This one's yours" David said, petting the horse in the first stall

"Really?" Henry asked, still shocked "So... how do I get on him?"

"Oh, you're not riding today" David told him

"I'm not?" Henry asked confused

"No, there's much to learn before you hop in the saddle" David explained

"Like what?" Henry wondered

"Well, every morning you'll have to muck out his stall. Then you'll brush him and feed him. After school, you'll do it again. Every day, twice a day" David told him
