The Bombshell

Part 27: Henry's Pov

   "My name is Henry. I'm your son." I didn't expect her to recognise me, but I hoped she would believe me. If I was going to make things right again, I was going to need help. I couldn't trust Isaac, so that help had to come from those I did trust, even if they didn't remember me.

.

   "I don't have a son." She exclaimed; bow and arrow drawn. I didn't blame her for being defensive Emma was too when I first found her in Boston. "And what about him?" Regina was of course referring to Isaac, but how could I explain who he was without sounding even crazier.

.

   "He's irrelevant. And I am your son, you just don't remember." I tried to get through to her. I glanced back at The Author who seemed quite bored and maybe a little angry at the fact I called him irrelevant.

.

   "Okay, so lets say for argument's sake that you're telling the truth... why don't I remember any of it? Why don't I remember you?" This was going to be hard to explain. "Well, I'm waiting!" She was still as impatient as ever. I guess some things never change, no matter which version of reality we were in.

.

   "In our reality, you were The Evil Queen, not Snow White. She was the one who caused the death of your true love and in order to get your revenge on her and take away her happy ending, you cast the darkest of curses and sent everyone to a small town in Maine where no one remembered who they were for 28 years... except you. You adopted me and it wasn't until I brought my other Mom to town and she broke the curse that everyone's memories were restored." She stared at me blakly as I continued. "Years later, The Dark One; Rumplestiltskin, used him," I pointed to Isaac. "The Author, to rewrite all of our stories so that it was The Villains who got the happy endings instead of The Heroes. That is the version of the story we're in right now and it's the wrong story." She looked totally confused and bewildered. I was pretty sure she didn't believe me, but I thought it best to keep trying. "I have a plan that should put things right... You need to find and kiss your true love." She burst out laughing as if the idea of her ever finding true love was completely impossible.

.

   "And just who do you think my true love is?" I had no idea who he was in this version of The Enchanted Forest, but I did know he'd be here somewhere. The challenge would be finding him.

.

   "His name is Robin; Robin Hood." The look on her face told me that she knew exactly who he was. "Do you know him?" She avoided eye contact with me which confirmed my suspicions that she did.

.

   "I know him alright, and if I ever see him again, I'll sink an arrow into his chest!" There was obviously animosity between the two of them and that wasn't right. In fact, something was seriously wrong. If they already knew each other then they should be falling in love already. It made no sense.
