{Regina's POV}
Sitting in her living room drinking wine, Regina was startled by a vicious knock at the door. Robin set his glass down and stood to answer the door.

"No I'll get it, you're playing with Rolland," she smiled resting her hand lightly on his arm. He smiled briefly back up at her before turning back around to his son and presenting a toy monster truck with the addition of manly sound effects. Walking to the door, Regina felt strange. She opened it only to find Miss Swan looking rather paranoid. "Emma, are you okay?" She asked opening the door for her. She walked in immediately not responding for a couple of seconds.

All she could do was shake her head and bluntly reply with a small "no." Killian followed closely behind looking worse than Emma had.

"Killian what's the matter?" She asked as the pirate stumbled into her house.

"Why don't you ask your sister?" Emma replied with a snarl at the word 'sister'. Regina scrunched her eyebrows confused. The only sister she ever had was currently dead thanks to Rumplestiltskin.

"Zelena?! She's dead, Miss Swan, you can't be serious!" Regina was shocked at what Emma was spouting. Robin had taken Rolland outside and told Henry to join him.

"Oh, no she's very much alive." Emma said. "She's been taking on the form of Marian ever since we got back from the Enchanted Forest," she spat. This caught Robin's attention.

"Marian? She's not... what?" He was baffled. "And how do you know this?" He questioned her.

"She's been wearing a necklace with magic. She showed up at the diner and froze everyone in it..." She started to get choked up. "And then she took my son from Ruby's arms and walked out the door as Zelena... We have a crap ton of eye witnesses if you want proof," she claimed as her eyes got slightly misty. Her son, Liam, was gone.

"What about Rolland? What am I supposed to tell him?" He asked shedding a single tear.

"You don't tell him anything, for now..." Emma resolved before turning to face Regina. "She took our son," she said glancing at Killian behind her. He stepped forward.

"If we are to believe she's here to start what she finished with the Charming's baby... then it's only a matter of time before we lose everything, even our lives." He said whipping his sword out. "I'm done talking... I'm going to get my son," Killian said violently starting out the door. Emma followed closely behind pulling out her inner savior which only made her hands gleam with power.

"Wait! Emma wai-" Regina called after them helplessly. She walked towards the back door and yelled out at her son. "Henry, take Rolland to Mr Gold's shop. Belle is going to watch you two for a while," she said not waiting for an answer. Robin grabbed for her hand, and they both began to sprint after the pirate and the savior.

{Emma's POV}
She felt sick. She had never endured this kind of emotional pain that was circling in her head. Emma should have never left him to Ruby. She wasn't blaming Ruby, of course, but maybe if Emma or Regina were there, their magic could have stopped her. Killian was only paces ahead of her, getting into the driver's side of the yellow bug. Emma got in the passenger side and closed her eyes. To be honest, she was terrified... She buried her head in her hands, tears forcing themselves from her eyes.

"Hey," Killian almost whispered in a soothing voice reaching over before starting the car to rub her back. She looked up to see him smile slightly assuring her that everything would eventually be okay. "We're going to get him back, Swan." Killian reached to wipe away her tears gently. She nodded smiling before he leaned forward and kissed her scooping her chin to meet his lips with hers.

"I know we'll find him, and I know we'll defeat Zelena. We have one thing she doesn't have," She said leaning back in her seat coming to a conclusion to their problem.

"What's that?" Killian asked furrowing his eyebrows and starting the car. Regina and Robin opened the door to the backseat sliding in and shutting the door quickly.

"Power, she doesn't have enough power," Regina said smirking into the rear view mirror.

"I was gonna say hope, but that works too," Emma said considering the power idea. Killian cocked his head, so Regina rolled her eyes and continued to explain.

"Have you all forgotten the kind of magic we can conjure?" She sassed to the confused bunch. "Hell, we're Verus Diligo. Let's go pick up the charming softball team," Regina muttered shaking her head. Emma had forgotten. Of course! Why would they ever need to worry when Zelena was the one supposed to be terrified?

"Wait, Henry and Rolland?" Emma realized that Liam was not her only son in danger here.

"Yes, yes they're going to be with Belle. I handled it," Regina said as the boys walked out waving goodbye to them. Gold's shop was only two blocks from where they were, so the walk should be no problem.

"Well, let's get a move on then," Robin sighed patting Killian on the shoulder. Hook shifted gears and sped out of the driveway towards the Charming residence.
