Later, the next day, Regina and Ciara were in Mary Margaret's apartment waiting for them to return with Henry. Regina was pacing a hole in the floor when the door opened, and the Charming's and Henry walked through the door.
"Henry!" Both Ciara and Regina said when they saw they boy.
"Mom!, Ciara!" They embrace when out of the blue an earthquake occurs and shakes the entire apartment.
"Regina, was that.." Emma questioned.
"Yes. The diamond was activated." Regina said before Emma could finish her sentence.
"So we're all gonna die?" Henry asked, scared as he continued to hug his sister.
"You were born here, so you'll live." Regna explained, which upset the boy more
"But.. he'll be alone." Ciara said, hugging her brother tighter to try and comfort him. "I'm so sorry." Regina whispered.
"It's not gonna happen, I'm not gonna let it." Emma said to Henry before looking at Regina. "You did this, now make it stop." Emma demanded.
"I can't. There's no way." Regina said, glaring at Emma
"WELL, FIGURE IT OUT! It's your fault!" Emma yelled, and Ciara retaliated by using her magic to pin Emma to a wall.
"STOP! I already lost my dad. I don't wanna lose anybody else. We have to work together." Henry said, but while he is talking, Hook enters, unseen by everyone else except Ciara, who went and wrapped her arm around him.
"From the mouths of babes, I'd say the lad has a point." Hook said, making his presence noticed. David doesn't waste a moment and attempts to punch Hook, but his fist is frozen in the air. Ciara steps forward glaring at the prince, "Wouldn't try that mate, unless you want Ciara to melt you inside out" Hook said with a smirk looking at the girl knowing she would kill anyone who tried to hurt him.
David draws his gun once Ciara releases him from the spell, "Tell us why you're here before I use something other than my fist." David threatened, causing Ciara to roll her eyes before turning the gun to ash.
"Seriously Charming." Ciara asked, "You're embarrassing yourself."
"I think threatening to kill me seems a bit redundant when we're all about to die anyway." Hook pointed out, wrapping his arm over Ciara's shoulder and pulling her close.
"No thanks to you. Regina just told us you were working with Tamara and Greg to get your revenge." Emma said, causing Ciara to look at Hook.
"You did what without me?" Ciara asked, giving him a look that caused Hook to laugh awkwardly.
"Well, that was before they told me I had to die to get it." Hook said, stepping forward and pressing his head against Ciara's, "I was doing it on my own so you could focus on your mother." He said and brushed his lips against hers, and she smiled at him.
"We don't have time for this. We have a real problem." Emma said, refocusing everyone's attention on the threat at hand.
"Which is why I'm here, 'cause staring death in the face has made me realize if there's one thing I want more than my revenge, it's my life with Ciara . So should we start this thing now and then resume bickering?" Hook asked.
"There is no stopping it. The best thing I can do is slow it down, but that will only delay the inevitable." Regina explained.
"It'll give us the time we need." David said, making Ciara roll her eyes at his hero complex.
"The time for what?" Snow asked her husband confused.
"Steal back the beans. Use them to get everyone into the Enchanted Forest before Storybrooke is gone." Davis said, sounding as if it was the most simple plan on the planet.
"How? We don't even know where Greg and Tamara are." Emma pointed out.
"Well, I do. I can help." Hook offered.
"Help yourself. You'll take them and leave us all behind. Why should we trust you?" Emma asked, and Ciara stepped in front of Killian being protective of him.
"No, we won't have to. I'll go with him, and if he tries anything, I'll shoot him in the face." David said, earning him a punch in the gut from Ciara. He doubled over in pain, and Emma pointed her gun at Ciara.
"Oh yeah, Charming, good luck shooting him with ash, I'm going with you. No one touches Hook except me, do you understand? " Ciara said, looking at David, silently challenging him to define her. David nods his head, "Glad we have an understanding." Ciara said with a smirk on her face.
"Quite hostile, aren't we?" Hook said mockingly at David, enjoying his pain.
"I'll take Regina to slow down the diamond, give you guys time. Mary Margaret, take Henry and gather everyone. Make sure they're ready to go as soon as we have those beans." Emma said as Mary Margaret and Henry begin to exit.
"Henry, before you go, I'm sorry for what's happened. I tried to be the person that you wanted me to be, and I failed. But I won't let you be alone. You just know that I love you." Regina said before Henry left.
"I love you, too." They embrace, and then they go their separate ways.
"The things we do for our children..." Hook said, and Ciara hit him lightly before exiting the apartment.
...
Hook, David, and Ciara were walking through the cannery, looking for Greg and Tamara when David spoke up. "So, tell me, Hook, all this time, it's been about revenge for you. Why is it suddenly so important that you survive? I know what I'm fighting for—my family. What are you fighting for?"
"Do you think I'm a ghost Charming?" Ciara asked sarcastically.
"There's plenty of motivation, I can assure you." Hook replied, looking at Ciara. Their silent moment was interrupted by a noise coming from further in the cannery.
"Quiet. The beans. Give them to me." David demands as Greg steps forward with a jar of beans.
"You mean these?" Greg asks sarcastically.
Tamara appears and shoots David's gun out of his hand, causing a fight to break out between the four, and Ciara just stood and watched, not caring about what was going on .While David chases after Tamara, Hook and Greg wrestle for the last of the beans. somehow the Greg manages to manoeuvre past Hook and catches up to Tamara. Tamara was cornered by David, so she attempts to shoot him, but Greg stops her.
"No, we got what we need." Greg says, looking at Tamara, and they run off. David attempts to chase after them, but Hook grabs him, preventing him from doing so.
"What are you doing? They've got the beans!" David yells at Hook and looks at Ciara, "and thanks for all your help, " he says sarcastically
"Hey, you're the hero, I'm a villain. you're welcome." The girl replied with a smirk enjoying the fact she was pissing the Prince off.
"Not all of them. I snagged one." Hook said, laughing at Ciara's remark and showed them the bean he took.
"Where are the rest?" David asked.
"Who cares? All we need is one." Hook said back as David attempts to run after them again. "Hey! Live to fight another day, mate!" Hook continued stopping him in his tracks again.
"I'm not you, mate." David spat back, and he takes the bean and puts it in his own pocket.
"If you two are done, I would like to find my mother before she ends up killing herself." Ciara stated as she walked past them both to go and meet up with the others.
