Once upon a time (Once upon a time, Rise of the guardians crossover)

Chapter 10: Storyteller.

Storybrooke.

On the street was the stranger fixing his motor, while some raindrops fell out of the light, grey clouds in the sky.

Henry and Jackson were slowly walking to him.

"What are you doing here?" Henry asked, because it also could be possible that he wasn't send by Tsar Lunar and since Emma was here, strangers maybe could come into the town.

Besides none of them had heard anything form Tsar Lunar since their... fused nightmare.

"Fixing my bike." The stranger said.

"No, I mean in Storybrooke." Henry said.

Jackson wasn't really paying attention to the conversation, since he was too busy imagining about having a motor himself and taken girls with him and all the other guys being jealous on him.

"Just visiting." The stranger answered.

"What's that?" Henry asked while he looked at the box that was tied on the back of the motor.

"A box." The stranger said.

"What's inside it?" Henry asked.

"Just something I need to do what I came here for." The stranger said.

Jackson, who hadn't really heard anything of the conversation and didn't think as much as Henry, suddenly asked, "Did Tsar..", but his sentence was cut off by Henry who shushed him, and pointed at Regina walking out of the door of her home.

Regina saw the stranger and it immediately left her with many questions like: who the hell is this guy?.

"I thought you were just visiting." Henry said with a little smile.

"Doesn't mean I haven't something to do." The stranger said and then he started the engine of his motor.

"Henry." Regina called.

She didn't like it that there was a stranger in town, but what she didn't like the most was the fact that Henry was talking to the stranger and you never know what happens when your kid does that.

"You two could better go to school. It looks like a storm is coming." The stranger said and then he went away.

Regina was walking as fast as she could on her high heels to Henry.

When she reached Henry and Jackson she asked, "Henry. Who was that?"

Henry put his shoulders up and down to let her know that he didn't know who the guy was, but he had a theory, but if he told that to Regina, the stranger would be in big trouble and probably end up dead or something even worse and the wrong person would get punished for a crime that person never did.

"Why were you talking to him?" Regina asked.

"We were just wondering, what he was doing. That's all." Jackson said.

"You would think that you would know better than to talk to strangers, since you're older." Regina remarked.

"It wasn't his idea to talk to him." Henry said.

"He could have stopped you." Regina said.

"Hey, I'm standing right here." Jackson said annoyed because they were talking about him like he wasn't standing between them.

"I'll bring Henry to school with my car, so you don't have to bring him to the bus." Regina said and then she took his son's hand and they both walked away while Henry whispered, "I'm sorry."

Jackson watched them get into Regina's car and left.

He stood there for a few seconds and then remembered that he had to go to school, but he didn't want to.
