They pleaded with him to stop. Hades had them right where he wanted them, holding the Olympian Crystal threateningly and he could easily finish them off before Zelena returned. Robin glanced at Regina, he couldn't let anything happen to her or his daughter. The words Hades was spewing felt distant as the thoughts of what he should do swirled in his mind. Hades raised the crystal, pointing it at Regina. "No!" Robin yelled and ran towards Hades to tackle him.

With one simple flick of his hand, Robin went flying and hit the wall; slumping onto the floor, unconscious. Regina's eyes widened, seeing his unmoving body. "What's going on here?" came Zelena's voice as she walked into the tense room. "He's trying to kill us," Regina shot Zelena a desperate look. "I'm doing this for us, so we can have a quiet life together," Hades still had the crystal pointed at Regina, glaring at her.

"Stop, you can't do this," Zelena cried, "we don't have to kill them to be happy." Hades shot a look at Zelena now, "They'll do anything to stop us, they'll take your baby away, do you really want that?" "Don't listen to him, we won't take her away from you as long as we know she's safe and she can't be with him." Zelena looked down trying to take it all in, it sounded exactly like she was having to choose.

"She doesn't care about you, none of them do, I'm the only one who does," Hades tried reasoning with her.

"He's lying just like he lied about helping us."

Zelena looked over at Regina then at Hades.

Hades gave Zelena a hint of a smile, "I'm doing this for you." He raised the crystal and Regina closed her eyes tightly, expecting pain, or at the very least some kind of feeling of leaving her body...but it didn't come. Instead, when Regina opened her eyes, she saw Zelena grab the crystal and try to get it away from Hades. There was a brief struggle when Zelena rammed the crystal in Hades' chest.

He screamed and became nothing more than dirt on the floor. Zelena's eyes widened in horror and immediately filled with tears. Regina looked sadly at her sister then hurried over to Robin and kneeled down beside him just as he was coming to.

The memory flashed once more in Zelena's mind as she sat alone at Granny's diner. A big celebration was happening due to the fact that Zeus had sent Killian back, alive and they were all now safe from Hades.

Emma, Killian, Snow and David were sitting at a booth talking happily while across the diner at the bar stools, Robin sat with his baby daughter safely in his arms. He was smiling down at the bundle of joy while Regina stood at his side holding Roland so he could get a good look at his baby sister and Henry by his mom, stroking the baby's head, softly.

Regina's eyes scanned over to where Zelena sat and nudged Robin's arm with her elbow. Robin followed Regina's eyes to her sister and took a deep breath with a nod. Regina instructed Henry to watch Roland before her and Robin walked up to Zelena's table, but she didn't look up at them.
