{Emma's POV}
Emma's heart skipped a beat as she heard a sound come from Regina's mouth. "Regina?" Emma asked as Robin moved from the door to her bedside.

"You're alive," Robin let out a breath of relief as Regina sat up.

"Robin," she whispered softly as if she was in heaven. She winced laying back down.

"But how?" Killian asked. "You flatlined.." Emma felt his arm slide around her waist.

"True loves kiss.." Robin grinned lifting the back of neck to touch her forehead with his. Emma looked up at Killian and smiled resting her head on his shoulder. She had remembered waking him with true loves kiss.

"But, she wasn't under a sleeping curse, or any magical curse for that matter." Killian's pirate accent echoed in Emma's ears.

"Yes... Why did she wake up?" Emma asked realizing what Hook was getting at.

"I don't know," Robin said looking confused but relieved at Regina. "I've never heard of something like this." Just then the hospital door flew open.

"That's cause it's never happened before." Mother Superior strolled in grinning. "I've never seen anything like it, but I knew it existed. It's rare. Emma, your parents have it, as do you and Killian. Regina and Robin have it as well." Blue walked over examining the newly revived Regina.

"Well," Emma pushed, "what is it?" Blue turned her gaze to Emma and Killian.

"It's called "Verus Diligo" or "The truest love". There is a legend about three pairs of Verus Diligo, and I think you ARE them." Blue smiled ear to ear. "You are all symbols of hope and love. When you put three pairs together, you're unstoppable." Blue looked at each of them in awe. "You saved her because there are two, including you, pairs in the room. That kind of generating power was so incredible, it brought Regina back to life with a single kiss. Regina, Robin, Emma, Killian, David and Mary Margaret are Verus Diligo. And you will save us all." Mother Superior grinned at Regina. "That's why you awoke by the act of true love even when you hadn't been affected by magic."

{Regina's POV}
Regina looked up at Blue. "How come none of us have ever heard of it?" She asked.

"It's a rare and old legend, but I believe it to be true." The fairy paused snickering. "I actually know one other person who has heard of this." She said softly.

"Who?" Emma asked taking a step closer. Hook followed her steps like an obedient puppy in love.

"Gold," She said bluntly sighing. "I think he knew that you all would be the key, somehow. That's why he chose you for the curse, Regina. And that's why he chose Emma to break it. He needed you in one place all at once. He knew your love would follow you." Regina scrunched her eyebrows.

"But... I thought he chose me to perform his curse because I was the most evil person he could find." She was confused beyond anything. What the hell was up with this unpredictable man?

"Quite the opposite, Regina." Blue smiled. "Nobody is villain, and nobody is a hero. We all have both qualities. It's just the matter of which we choose to act on." Mother Superior rested her hand gently on Regina's bruised up arm. "You wanted revenge during that time, and we're doing whatever you could to get it. He knew you had the potential from the beginning for true love. You've had it in you all along, Regina, even if you didn't know it." Robbin squeezed her hand kissing it lightly.

"Wait, so what kind of power do we have together?" Killian asked.

"You can do ANYTHING," Blue emphasized.

Emma snapped her fingers coming to a realization "Then that means-"

Killian interrupted. "We can defeat The Crocodile." Blue nodded unsure about the recommendation.

"Wait..." Regina sat up and leaned against her bed frame wincing. "Why would he want us all together if we can destroy him?" She asked.
