Regina awoke to the heat of the jungle and the noise of chatter outside her room. Standing up, she remembered where she was, and what had happened to make her want to come to this awful place. There was something else, something she should remember but doesn't. She assumed whatever it was, was drowned out by the contents of the empty wine bottle next to her bed, a welcome present she had found on entering her room the night prior. Her head buzzed with the lasting effects of the alcohol but she walked over to the wardrobe, where she found several outfits. She ended up wearing a purple mesh blouse with short sleeves, and tight-fitting leather trousers. When she pulled open the bottom drawer she found three pairs of shoes, a pair of gorgeous stilettos, 'No, too hard to walk in'. Next, a pair of flat boots, 'Not me'. And finally, a pair of knee-high black leather boots, with a 2-inch heel and laces running down the outer side of the boot. 'Perfect'. After dressing, Regina walked out of her room to find Snow reading a note that had been stuck to the adjacent wall.

Dear, Queen Regina and HM Charmings,

Breakfast will be at 7 am, someone will come and fetch you.

After breakfast, you shall be briefed on our plan to save your boy.

Hope you slept well,

Rebbecca

'Ohhh, so that's what I'd forgotten. I'm in Ira's house... OH MY GODS, I'm in her house, after all these years. With the Charmings.'

As the grandfather clock ticked to 6:56 am, Regina and Snow were joined by the rest of the Charmings, awaiting their escort at the beginning of the main corridor.

"Do we really need an escort," Emma said, "It can't be that hard to navigate through a giant tree house."

"If she said someone shall come to take us to breakfast, then we should wait here. I know it may not be how things are done in Storybrooke, but here it is normal etiquette." Snow replied.

As they looked onward, through the corridor, Emma screamed.

Emma turned and reached for her gun, ready to shoot a Lost Boy between the eyes. She saw a hand...an arm...a shoulder...a face, an intoxicating, smug, annoyingly perfect face... Captian Killian Jones, aka Captain Hook. Next to him stood a boy, around the same age as Rebbecca, maybe a little older. However, the thing that caught Emma's attention was the similarity that he had with Killian, both of them had a hook.

After a moment of silence between both parties, Hook spoke. "Sorry Love, I didn't mean to scare you. We were told to come and get you."

Then the boy held out his hand and said, in an Irish accent, "My names Oryan, it's a pleasure to meet you."

At the dinning hall

"So, Rebbecca, you got all this..." David said, gesturing to all the lavish gifts around the room, including the large oak table and beautiful porcelain that they were eating breakfast on, "From Pan. the same man who has kidnapped my grandson and has tried to kill my wife and daughter."

"Excuse me, last time I checked, my son is in danger. I'm sorry if you and your wife had to wake up, out of your 'happily ever after' delusion, and release that life isn't all rainbows and fairy dust!" Regina retorted from the other side of the table, as it was, Rebbecca was at the head of the table, with Oryan at the opposite end. Hook decided to sit to the right of him, then Emma, then the Charmings, and then 2 girls that Emma, nor anyone but Hook and the other pirates knew sat between Snow and Rebbecca. Regina sat opposite one of the unknown girls, then 3 boys that were also unknown to the group from Storybrooke.

"Ok, Everyone," Rebbecca said, raising her voice slightly, much like Regina did to gain the attention of everyone in a room. Hopefully, a comparison that only Regina made. "To answer your question David, yes, Pan gave me nearly everything you see in this house. But, that is unimportant, what is important, is saving Henry. Now, here's the plan......
