Twice Upon A Time - Season 3 (reader x once upon a time)

Quiet Minds - Part 1

Friday, January 14

Angie run up the steps to Granny's Dinner and knocked on the door, ignoring the 'Closed' sign

"If you want privacy, talk fast" Granny said when she opened the door. David, Snow, Regina and Killian were already there "We open in 20, and no one gets between Leroy and his bacon" she warned them

"Is there any sign of our quarry?" asked Killian

"I went all over that farmhouse and the land around it, nothing" Angie replied

"Well, now that the sun's up, we should hit every place Gold might go: his house, shop, his cabin" David suggested

"Can someone explain to me how this is even possible?" said Angie "Emma said he killed himself to stop Peter Pan"

"I might have an inkling" Killian said, getting everyone's attention "When we went back to the Enchanted Forest, Neal was talking about the possibility of getting his father back"

"What?" "How?" David and Snow asked at the same time

"He didn't know how. He just, he missed his family" Killian explained "And he was desperate to find a way to return to this world. He believed that bringing his father back was the key"

"Well, if that was his plan, then obviously something went wrong, because while Gold might be alive and kicking, Neal is, well, we still don't know what he is. We don't even know if he made it back to Storybrooke" Angie pointed out, starting to get really worried about how Emma would react to the news

"He's out there somewhere" David tried to comfort her

"With all due respect, we have bigger issues right now than who brought Gold back" Regina interrupted "The fact that he was in the Wicked Witch's basement, for one. I want to know what the hell she was cooking up with him"

"Well, the best way to find that out would be to ask Gold, right?" said Snow

"He could tell us who the witch is, maybe how to track her down" David agreed

"I'm going to head back to that farmhouse. It's possible this witch left behind some trace of potion or a special ingredient" said Regina

"Have at it, just be careful" Angie told her

"Well, she's the one who needs to be careful" Regina replied "She invaded my space. When I return the favour I'm not pulling any punches" she said, leaving the dinner

"In the meantime it could be helpful to talk to someone who was close to Gold" Angie suggested

"Belle" Killian said

"I summon thee, Dark One" Zelena used the Dagger to call the Dark One from a hill in the woods "Rumpelstiltskin!" she shouted when he didn't appear "It's not working. The Dark One has broken free, and he knows far too much" she said to one of her monkeys "Find him, beautiful one. Find him now"

At Gold's shop, Angie, Snow, David and Killian told Belle about Gold

"So, so Rumple's alive?" Belle asked, examining the golden straw "How is that even possible?"

"We were hoping you might be able to tell us that" Angie replied

"You know him and this shop better than anyone" Snow said "If he's in Storybrooke, there has to be a clue in here about how he got back or how we can find him now that he is"

"Yeah, I'll uh, I'll start looking right away" Belle said

"Keep your eyes out for him too. If he comes into town, he'll-"
