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

The Jolly Roger - Part 2

"Don't touch anything" was Regina's first instruction as she lead the twins down to her vault

"How am I supposed to learn magic if I can't touch anything?" wondered Angie

"The same way I did with Rumple" Regina replied, without turning "We're going to create a solid foundation first and then build your skills from the ground up" when she finally turned around, she saw Emma holding a flattened claw, looking at it curiously "I said 'don't touch'" she repeated, taking the claw from Emma's hands

"You really don't have to be here Emma" Angie said

"Yes" Regina agreed "Because while you're here, who's looking who's looking after Henry? The Un-Charmings?" she asked

"Actually, Hook is" Emma replied

"Well, those two have been spending a lot of time together lately" Regina noted

"Hook's surprisingly good with Henry, and Henry likes him" said Emma

"He's prone to violence, impulsive, and has a hook for a hand" Regina listed "What about him would a 12-year-old boy not like?"

"Well, I trust him" said Angie "From what you've all said, it sounds like he didn't have to bring me back to Storybrooke, but he still did"

"Oh, of course he brought you back" Regina said

"What's that supposed to mean?" Angie asked, confused

"Seriously?" Regina asked back "Even without your memories you should be able to notice the yearning looks and doe-y eyes he gives you"

"Uh, I didn't realize gossiping was part of learning magic" Angie said, trying to go back to the lesson

Regina sighed and opened a chest, taking her mother's spell book out "Fine, let's start with roots for incantations" she opened it and gave it to Angie

"What language is this, Spanish?" asked Emma, looking over her sister's shoulder

"We're not making tapas. We're making magic" Regina said coldly to Emma "It's Elvish, well, half- Elvish"

"I don't think I'm going to get this in time" Angie said, looking at the pages "Is this how Rumpelstiltskin taught you?"

"Yeah, just think about your training, what other methods did he use?" Emma wondered

"Rumpel was a bully. He didn't suffer fools, and he certainly didn't coddle his students. And if he tried to teach you how to swim and you couldn't learn, you drowned" Regina explained

"Drowned?"

Regina had an idea then "That's it" she said, ignoring Emma's question

"That's what?" Angie asked, but got no response as well as Regina just used her magic to take them to a suspension bridge

"What the hell are you doing!?" Emma shouted, holding tightly to the rope

"Teaching your sister to swim" Regina replied, with a smile, from the end of the bridge

"Are you out of your mind!?" Emma said

"So much for making sure she doesn't push me too hard, 'sis'" Angie said to Emma, holding on just as tight

"Every time you've exhibited your power, it's been spurred by your instincts" Regina said to Angie as if nothing was wrong "So today, we're going to push those instincts until you master them"

"A little reading doesn't sound so bad right now" Angie replied

"You can stop me" Regina continued

"Stop you from what?" Angie asked, worried
