X-Men Movies / Once Upon a time
Plot – What if Henry was really the son of Charles Xavier? After Neal left and had betrayed Emma that met Charles after she was bailed out by Charles when he found her using Cerebo and they started dating, but after having to much to drink after catching Emma Frost, Charles and Emma slept together and the next morning Charles went with the CIA to fight and stop Sebastian Shaw from starting World War 3.
AUTHOR'S NOTES :
- X-Men First Class will take place in 1999 and Henry will be 11 about to turn 12 when he found Emma.
- Charles has lost his legs, 6 months after leaving Emma and he couldn't find her again. He believes she has died.
- Emma's powers are to see if a person is lying or not, to create a shield, hand to hand combat, great reflexes, True love magic (pure white magic use) and her final power is due to the x-gene in her it is the ability to control and grow planets also heal using plants (She does not know about this one)
Emma keeps her last name.
- This will start just around the apple turn over.
- The other mutants in this will be Jean Grey, Scott Summers, Logan, Kitty Pryde, Bobby Drake, Ororo Munroe, Erik Lehnsherr, Raven Darkholme, Rogue, Peter Rasputin (Colossus), Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler), Alex Summers, Victor Creed, Remy Lebeau, Toad and Pietro/Wanda Maximoff. They will not appear for a while, I was going to have Logan and Ororo talking with the professor and then Charles disappeared, but I will not do it, they will appear when Emma is going to find Neal (Baelfire).

Prologue
Emma Swan looked at Regina's mansion with a smile before walking up to the door and knocking. "We need to talk" Emma told the dark haired woman after she opened the door.
"Yes... I believe we do... I was just about to call you... Come on in" Regina told Emma and Emma came into the house "Do what you are skilled at make yourself at home" Emma looked aound before Regina came up the stairs of the entry point "I believe you came to see me".
"Right, look... this isn't easy... I think this whatever is between us needs to end"
"At last something we agree on"
"I want to make you a deal on Henry"
"I am not making any deals with my son"
"I am leaving town"
"What?"
"This... what we're doing is a problem and I am going to go... but before I leave I have conditions" Regina nodded "I still get to see Henry... I get to visit and spend time with him"
"And you get to see him... you are still in his life"
"In any deal both parties... there is a person that is a little unhappy... but let's be honest … we both know the world where I no exist is long gone and there is nothing you can do about that"
Regina looked at the blonde before a beeping sound could be heard.
"You're right... would you mind following me for a moment" the two women walked into the kitchen and Regina put on hand mites and took out a pastry from the oven and placed it on the wooden board "So what are you proposing?"
"I don't know... just figure it out as we go"
"But he is my son" Emma thought before agreeing with Regina.
"Yeah" Emma turned to leave the mansion before Regina called out to her.
"Oh, Miss Swan" Emma turned back as Regina grabbed out a tub "Maybe a little something for the road"
"Thanks" Emma said with a slight smile and she watched as Regina cut the pastry.
"Seeing as we will be in each others lives... we should start by being tolerate each other... my famous turnovers... old recipe... but very delicious" Emma nodded as she was given the tub with the piece of turnover in it.
"Thank you"
"I do hope you like apples"
Emma left the home of Regina Mills and back to Mary Margaret's apartment. She finished packing her bags and was waiting for Henry to come and see her before she left Storybrooke.
A knock came to the apartment door and Emma smiled and headed down stairs and opened the door.
"Hey, Emma... everything okay? You sounded strange over the walkie" Henry told her and Emma let him.
"I'm okay... just... yesterday when I tried to take you away, you were right... I can't take you out of Storybrooke... but I can't stay either"
"What?""
"I have to go"
"Go... you mean, leave Storybrooke?"
"Yeah, I spoke to Regina and we made a deal... I'm still able to see you.. just not every day"
"No! No! You can't trust her"
"I have to... it's my only choice and it is what is best for you... every time I fight her someone else gets hurt"
"No, no, no... you're just scared... this happens to all heroes... it is just the low moment before you fight back"
Emma felt she was going to cry and bent down to Henry and grabbed his arms.
"Henry, this isn't a story... this is reality and things have to change... you can't skip school... you can't run away and you can't believe in curses"
"You really don't believe?"
"This is how it has to be right now and I made a deal... I used my super power... she's telling the truth... she's gonna take really good care of you"
"Yes... but she wants you dead"
"Come on, Henry!"
"You're the only that can stop her or it could've been true love's kiss with my dad but as you told me he is dead"
"Stop her from what? And yes he is dead... all Regina ever done for you is fight for you... it just got out of hand... I'm sorry"
Henry hugged Emma tight and didn't want her to leave and he saw on the table the turn over.
"Where did you get that?"
"Regina gave it to me"
"Apple!"
"So"
"You can't eat that... it's poison"
"What?"
"Don't you see... the deal... it was all a trick to get you to eat that... to get rid of the saviour"
"Henry, come on. Why would she do that when I just told her I was gonna go"
"Because as long as you are alive you are a threat to the curse"
"Henry, you've gotta stop thinking like this"
"But it is the truth and your leaving isn't going to change that" Emma sighed before looking at the turn over.
"I'll prove to you"
"No!" but Emma was faster and grabbed it out of his hands and stood up looking at her son.
"Nothing will happen" Emma told him and took a bite of the turn over.
"NO!" Henry shouted as he saw his birth mum fall to the floor "Emma, please wake up you are the one to break the curse" Henry shook his mother's body but she would not wake and just in time Mary Margaret came home and saw Emma and called for an ambulance.
Meanwhile in Westchester, New York, a wheel chair bound man felt a sharp pain go though his heart and he disappeared in a white cloud smoke.
Papers from the desk fell to the floor and there was no sign of anyone being there.
Charles Xavier's point of view
I was in my office looking over the new students we had gained, when the pain hit straight though my heart and I no longer saw my office, but a road with old looking buildings and I frowned before deciding to find out where I was, I looked towards a man walking his dog and looked into his memories and his thoughts.
Storybrooke is the town I am now in, but how I do wonder. I went over people he saw and met.
There in his own memories was a woman I wanted to marry and love forever, one I thought lost forever when I found her missing.
Emma Swan, my beloved, you have back to and I am never letting you go again.
Chapter one
Charles wheeled himself towards the centre of town passing a pawn shop where a tall man with pale skin and neck length hair came out and Charles wheeled himself over to the man surprising him.
"Excuse me, would you happen to know where Emma Swan is?" Charles asked and the man nodded.
"Can I ask what she is to you?" he asked and Charles tried to read his mind but couldn't.
"Charles Xavier is my name, Emma Swan is... well I loved her before I had to go and leave her" Charles replied and the man smirked inside his mind 'Maybe the curse can be stopped with true love's kiss, hopefully this man loves Miss Swan with all his heart and soul'.
"I'm Robert Gold... I will show you where Miss Swan is" Mr. Gold told Charles and slowly but surely headed towards the hospital and soon they got to the hospital.
"Who is he? Gold" a woman's voice asked and both men turned to the voice.
"Madam Mayor, meet Charles Xavier, he knew Miss Swan before she came to Storybrooke" Mr. Gold said smirking at the woman with dark brown almost black hair.
"Miss Swan has a no visitor policy" she answered glaring at the man in the wheelchair, who looked so much like Henry.
"Well I would very much like to see her, you see I left her to go and fight someone from starting another World War, so I would very much like to see the woman I loved and still do" Charles told her, his eyes changing to a darker blue.
He passed her much to her shock and towards where he felt Emma's powers and her mind.
Regina Mills glared at Mr. Gold before following the man in hopes of stopping him, but Mr. Gold stopped her.
"The curse is over, dearly, you have lost" he hissed into her ear and he turned her around taking her outside and to his shop.
Charles wheeled into the room where Emma lay, where the doctors had just finished taking the breathing tube out, the doctor turned and saw Charles there.
"I am sorry but she is gone" he told him and Charles looked at him, his mind was easy to control and told him to leave. Once the doctor left, Charles wheeled over to Emma and grabbed her cold hand.
Charles' eyes ran over every detail of Emma's face from her paling skin to her closed eyes and finally her lips where they were slowly turning from pink to blue.
"Emma, I am so sorry for leaving you, leaving you to fight Shaw and leaving no note or sending you word where I was, it was selfish and stupid of me... seeing you like this breaks my heart, I never told you, but when I first met you... god you were so beautiful sure Erik and I had to get you out of jail, but when I first saw you... I fell hard and fast, but as you and I trained our gifts, you grew strong and I could never get anything past you no lie or trick... you saved everyone from Shaw when he attacked the CIA building... however you couldn't stop Angel leaving or Darwin dying, but though that you grew stronger your power over growing plants grew where you could just think of a plant and it grew" Charles felt tears fall from his eyes and he moved his hand from Emma's hand to her cheek and brushed over it lightly.
Charles was unaware of the people watching him from the glass walls, his mind and body were focused on Emma.
"Emma Grace Swan, I love you with my heart, mind and soul, I am sorry I never finished looking for you" Charles moved his chair closer to Emma head, he pressed the bed panel to move down and Charles with easy access to Emma's lips, he kissed her.
The second he kissed her, a wave of power hit him and expanded out and Charles lifted his head and to his shock Emma's lips turned red and healthy while her skin warmed and her light hazel opening before seeing Charles.
"Charles" Emma's voice came out soft and Charles smiled.
"Hello Emma, it is so good to see you" Charles told her and her eyes looked into his deep blue ones.
"You're alive, but how?" Emma sat up and Charles sat up straight.
"I never died, who told you I was dead" Charles asked.
"I got a letter three days after you left saying you did in Cuba" Emma told him and she opened her mind to him.
He watched as Emma opened the letter and the words on it clear as day.
Dearest Emma,
It is with a heavy heart that I tell you this, but Charles Francis Xavier has passed away, he stopped World War 3 from happening, but he died saving the world.
Charles told me to send this to you if he died and I hope you forgive for not telling you in person.
A friend
Charles pulled out from Emma's mind and looked at the tears that fell from her eyes.
"Emma, I never told anyone to send you are letter, please" Charles grabbed Emma's hands and she nodded.
"I know, I can see it, you are not lying, but what happened in Cuba and when did you get into a wheelchair?" Emma asked and Charles looked at her.
"Cuba, Erik was going to kill 100s of people on the ships that had come to start World War 3 and Moira started using a gun to take him down... he was throwing the bullets to the sides and the last one hit me in the lower back and I lost the feeling to my legs" Charles explained and Emma smiled sadly and she stood up.
"If I could I would heal you but I don't have healing powers, just the ability to grow and control plants, I'm a lie detector, I create shields..." Emma was cut off by Charles who grabbed her hand.
"You are my everything, I do not need to walk to love you" Charles told her and she smiled.
"Mum you are alright" both turned to the door where Henry, Mr Gold and Regina stood.
"Yes, I am, Henry and I am staying this way" Emma told the young boy, who then looked at Charles.
"Who is he?" Henry asked and Emma looked at Charles.
"Henry, I always thought he died, but it turns out I was wrong... Henry this is your father Charles Xavier" Emma told the young boy who looked at Charles.
"Are you really my dad?" Henry asked and Charles nodded seeing himself in the young boy.
"It seems like I am" Charles answered and Henry hugged the man.
"It seems, your majesty that you have lost" Mr. Gold hissed into Regina's ear.
"If I were you, I would find a place hide" a woman with dark red hair said to Regina and Regina ran to Henry.
"Henry, no matter what you think... no matter what anyone tells you... I do love you" Regina then left the hospital room.
A few minutes, later and a cleared health for Emma, purple and green cloud came though the hospital and Henry hugged his mum while Emma grabbed Charles hand as the smoke and cloud passed.
After it passed Emma looked towards the windows and then to the front door.
"Emma, what is going on? And what was that cloud?" Charles asked and Emma looked at Henry.
"You explain kid, I have to find my parents" Emma told him and Henry smirked at Charles.
Emma left the father and son before she did she kissed Charles on lips.
'Have fun with your son, his name is Henry' Emma thought to Charles and he nodded.
'Where are you going?'
'To find my parents'
'Be safe, I only just found you, I am not losing you again'
'You won't, it is the same for me, but I have to see if Henry is right and when I get my parents I will be right back'
'Okay'
Emma left the room with Charles and Henry following at a slower pace. Emma changed her clothes to her red jackets, jeans and a black single top before she left the hospital.
The town of Storybrooke never felt so large before for Emma but looking for Mary Maragret and David Nolan was getting annoying and she turned down the street that went to Granny's Diner.
There before with their backs turned were the two she was looking for and with them were Leroy and six other men, Ruby and Granny.
"So what do we do now?" Emma heard Ruby ask the group.
"Now? Now I find my daughter" Mary said and Emma walked forward.
"So its true" Mary and David walked toward her looking her up and down and Mary with tears forming in her eyes hugged Emma with David patting Emma's hair and hugging her as well Mary's voice breaks as she whispered in Emma's ear "You found us".
Charles and Henry came up behind Emma, Charles smiling at the reunited family and believing Henry when what he said about the curse due the pain in his heart when Emma ate the Apple Turn-over and how a wave of power washed over him when he kissed her.
"Grandpa?" Henry said and Mary laughed realizing it was true and the group let go of their hug and Mary spotted Charles.
"Who are you?" she asked him and he smiled.
"Charles Xavier, I am Henry's father and Emma's partner" he answered and David and Mary looked at each other in shock.
"But how? Emma said you were dead" David told him and Charles nodded.
"It is a long story but in short, from what Henry has told me about the curse and how Emma ate the turn over from Regina, it brought pain to my heart and brought me to the edge of ton where I met one Mr. Gold and he showed me where Emma lay in the hospital" Charles answered.
"I think it is cool how you are alive and felt Emma in trouble" Henry said and David laughed.
"It was the same with me, Regina locked me up and I felt as Snow ate that apple" David told them.
"I am never eating an apple offered by this Regina Mills" Charles told them and Emma laughed.
"What about from me and my famous apple crumple pie" Emma said and Charles looked at her.
"You are evil, Emma Swan" everyone laughed and Emma glared before smiling at him.
"Before we go on how happy ways, why are we still here in this town and not the enchanted forest?" Leroy (Grumpy) asked and Mary frowned before David moved over to the seven dwarves.
"That, my friend is an excellent question" a man sneezes and David looked at him.
"And what was that smoke?" he had asked and another of the men looked David in the eye.
"Who did this?"
"And what was that smoke?"
"And why?"
"And what was that smoke?"
"It was magic" Emma looked over to her right and saw Mother Superior standing there, she grabbed Charles' hand and looked at him "It's here... I can feel it".
Mary and the woman grabbed hands and smiled at each other.
"Magic? In Storybooke? You're the Blue Fairy... do something magical" Henry said excited but Charles grabbed his shoulder and the Blue Fairy looked sadly at the boy.
"It's not quite that simple, Henry... no wand... no fairy dust... matters are now complicated" she told him.
"Let's go to the person responsible for bringing it, the queen" Leroy told David and everyone agreed.
Emma's eyes looked towards Charles.
"You did you say brought you to where I was?" she asked and everyone looked at the man.
"Mr. Robert Gold, I believe his name was" Charles answered and everyone looked at each other.
"Charles, can you sense him?" Emma asked and everyone looked puzzled by the request.
"No, there is a shield or something blocking me from reading or sensing his mind..." Henry looked at his father head tilted.
"What are you talking about?" he asked voicing many thoughts and Emma looked at her son and kneeled on the ground.
"Henry, Charles and myself are what the world call mutants, people with powers from anything and everything" Emma explained and Henry looked at the two.
"Like magic" he asked and Charles chuckled.
"No, not like magic... what I can do is read minds, freeze people in their spots and one I rarely to never use is control them, I only use it when there is a need for it" Charles explained.
"Mum, you have said about knowing when someone is lying, is that your power" Henry asked and Emma shook her head.
"No, I can creates shields in my mind and around my body" a purple haze appeared from her body shielding her and Charles "But another is communicating with animals and controlling and growing plants" Henry looked in awe and proud of her.
"Cool" Henry said and Emma laughed hugging her boy to her.
Mary Margaret and David smiled at their daughter both were in awe and happy. Mary back in the Enchanted Forest could communicate with animals, while David knew herbs and plants good for harvest before he became Prince James after his twin brother was killed and he was forced to a bid the wishes and want of King George who wanted money to be rich again, so he made a deal with King Midas that his son would marry Princess Abigail to get what he wanted.
Emma looked towards the garden around Granny's diner and walked over to a dying rose bush. She touched a flower and the bush came to life pink roses appeared healthy and stunning smell.
"Amazing" Granny said and she watched as red, white and yellow came up and the vines over the door looked healthier.
Soon the group started walking up the road and Emma walked with her parents just behind her, while Charles and Henry talked more.
"You are amazing... but I want to know is there anything you wanted to ask us? I mean you must have questions" Mary asked Emma as they walked.
"The only questions I have are for Mr. Gold" Emma replied and she frowned in thought "Why did he double cross me and what did he do to this town?"
"Uh... shouldn't we about 'it' first?" Mary asked looking at David before looking back to Emma's golden hair.
"What?" Emma asked looking back to her.
"Us. Your life. Everything?" Snow asked looking desperate at her daughter.
"Can we do 'everything' maybe later? Like with a glass of wine or several bottles"
"I know it is a lot to take in... for all of us" David said his piece and he looked towards Charles and Henry talking with Mother Superior.
"And we don't want to push... but we've waited for this moment for so long" Emma stopped and turned to her parents.
"Yeah... so have I... I have thought about this moment my entire life... I've imagined who you might be... but of all the scenarios that I concocted my parents being... I just need a little time... that's all... Charles and I have only found each other again when I thought him dead and now Henry can spend time with his father and I can practice my powers more..." Emma was cut off from saying any more when she and the group heard shouting up a head of them.
David saw them first "Snow?"
A man came running down to them in a rush and came to a stopped Charles moved up to Emma and her parents with Henry behind him.
"There you are... come with me... I need your help" Emma realised that is was Archie Hopper and he was panting "Dr Whale's whipped everyone into a frenzy... they're going to Regina's house... they're going to kill her"
"Great, let's watch" Leroy said and Henry took his father's hand.
"No... no... we can not stoop to her level... no matter who she is or what she has done... killing her is wrong" Archie said gaining his breath.
"He's right... please she is still my mum even if she adopted me" Henry pleaded walking over to Emma and she patted his hair smiling sadly at him.
"We have to stop them" Emma told the group.
"If the Blue Fairy is right and magic is here... Regina could have her powers back... they could be marching into a slaughter" David said and everyone looked at him and Snow and they started running or in Charles' case zooming after them.
'Emma, how powerful is this Regina'
'I do not know, I only know from what Henry has told me'
'Be ready to help you family in case she has her powers'
'It is magic she has thank goodness and no mutant gene in her'
'Thank the heavens for small blessings'
Emma smiled back at Charles and she nodded, the group could hear the crowd outside of Regina's house and that was when she heard it.
"SHE'S POWERLESS"
"GET HER!"
"DON'T LET HER GET AWAY"
Emma finally got to the house and into the path and saw Dr Whale about to choke Regina.
"Let her go! Let her go! Let her go!" Emma said finally pushing Whale out of the way.
"Why should I listen to you?" he asked and Emma glared.
"Because I am still the sheriff" Emma hissed at Whale and David came up behind her.
"And because Charles saved her and in turned saving everyone" David said.
"Charles?" many muttered and Emma looked to the entry where Charles sat looking at her.
"He is Henry's father and my partner who I thought dead, he awoke me from Regina's curse turn over which had apples in it" Emma explained and everyone glared at Regina started to move towards the woman again.
"You and everyone here shouldn't become murderers now or ever" Henry said and Emma nodded.
"Well, we are not from this world" Whale told Emma
"Well you are in it now" Emma hissed and Charles rolled over to her.
"Relax" he whispered.
"Okay, Whale... we're done" David said walking forward and Whale brushed him off.
"Back off... you are not my prince" Whale hissed and David looked over Whale tying to figure out who the man was.
"Who are you? Whale" David asked.
"That's my business" David scoffs looking at the man.
"Well, my business is making sure this town doesn't go to hell... so whether or not I'm your prince is not the issue... we have a lot to figure out... and this isn't the way to do it" David told Whale right in his face.
"And Regina's death won't provide any answers" Mary said running up the steps and stood by Regina's side and she looked at her step-mother "She needs to be locked up... for her safety and more importantly... our own" Regina smirked at Emma and Charles before David grabbed her agreeing with his wife.
As David, Snow and the dwarves went to the town jail, Emma looked at the town still there.
"Okay, nothing more to see, go back home" she ordered and the crowd left.
"You are amazing, Emma Swan" Charles told her as he, Henry and her headed to the station.
"Charles you got me out of a bad place and taught me control, I have to tell you are the amazing one" Emma told him and Henry looked at his parents.
The three of them got back just where David had placed Regina into a cell and locked it.
"So, I'm a prisoner now?" Regina asked looking at David.
"If the curse is broken, why didn't we go back?" David asked.
"Because there is nothing to go back to... That land is gone" Regina replied and Snow looked at her husband.
"We should get to Gold"she whispered and David and Snow left, while Henry looked at his adoptive mum.
"I am sorry, but this is for your own good" he told her and Regina nodded.
"I know, but Henry just know that I love you and always will" Henry nodded and left with his dad.
Emma, Ruby, David, Charles, Mary and Henry stood outside of Granny's diner.
"Henry" Emma whispered kneeling to Henry "You and your father are going a ride around town so the two of you can show Charles where places are, Ruby will be driving the two of you" Henry nodded and smiled over to his dad.
"Cool, I can show dad everything" Henry said with a smile and Charles laughed.
"Yeah, buddy you can show me the town" Charles said and Emma helped Charles into the car, while David placed the wheelchair in Granny's diner.
"Keep them safe Ruby" Emma said once both Charles and Henry were in the car.
David and Snow stood away from Emma as she watched the car drive away.
"You guys ready?" Emma asked walking over to them while her eyes watched as Charles and Henry in Ruby's car disappear around the corner.
"We need to talk" Snow said in a rush.
"Well, I don't... I don't want to talk" Emma told Snow.
"But I do, okay?" Snow took a breath "Gold can wait... I can not... I mean you're my daughter and I wanna talk to you... I know we have talked... but we didn't know that we were talking... and we talked about things we probably shouldn't have talked about... one night stands and the like" David looked at his wife in shock.
"One night stands?"
"Whale"
"Whale?"
"We were cursed that is neither here nor there... the point is we didn't know we were mother and daughter... and now we do... and, so, please let's talk"
Emma at looked at her mother and then her father.
"Okay... what do you want to talk about?"
"We're together finally... and I can not help but think you are not happy about it" Snow said looking at Emma sadly.
"Oh... I am... but see" sighs before looking at the both royals "Here's the thing... no matter what the circumstances for 28 years I only knew one thing... that my parents sent me away"
"We did that to give you your best chance" snow answered
"You did it for everyone because that's who you are... leaders, heroes... princes and princesses" sighs before going on "And that is great and amazing and wonderful... but it does not change the fact that for my entire life... I've been alone" Emma told them truly and from the heart.
"But if we hadn't sent you away you would've been cursed as well" Snow told her.
"But we would've been together... which curse is worse?" Emma looked at them sadly before sighing "Come on... let's just... let's just find Gold"
Snow, David and Emma entered Gold's shop as he was finishing serving the tea.
"What can I do for you?" he asked.
"What you can do is tell us what you did" Emma stated.
"I'm sorry... you're gonna have to be more specific" he answered.
"You know damn well what we are talking about" David shouted a bit.
"You brought that cloud to this town, bringing magic here... for what?" Emma asked.
"Let me ask you something Miss Swan... I brought your partner to where you lay in the hospital... his kiss awoke the curse from you... you got Henry's father back... your parents who I might say you have been looking for.. for 28 years" Mr Gold told her and Emma glared.
"Why did you bring magic here?" Snow asked him and gold smirked.
"Not telling" a rumble was felt though out the town and in the shop.
"What in the world was that?" Emma asked and Snow and David looked out of the window hearing roars, car alarms and lights turning off.
"That is my gift to you... that is gonna take care of Regina" Gold stated and Emma looked at him in horror.
"Emma come on" Snow said watching outside and David turned to his daughter.
"We need to go and take care of this" he told her and Emma looked towards Gold and into his eyes.
"We are not done" she hissed softly.
"Oh, I know... you still owe me that favour"Gold told the blonde and Emma left with her parents.
The three of ran to the station and got in there just in time for David to throw a chair at the creature.
David was knocked away and Snow grabbed a lighter and spray bottle.
"Over here" the creature looked over and Snow clicked the lighter on and push the spray trigger down making a blow touch of the lighter and the creature leaves.
Regina coughs from where she was on the ground and Emma ran over to her.
"What the hell was that thing?" she asked the three of them.
"A wraith... a soul sucker" Regina answered tying to get her breath.
"Did I..." Snow started but Regina stared.
"Kill it? No it is regenerating... it will be back... it doesn't stop until it devours its prey... me" show her hand, everyone saw a mark on the evil queen's hand.
"So how do we kill it?" Emma asked.
"There's no way" Regina answered and Emma saw no lie "You can not kill something that is already dead".
"Then we have a problem" Emma stated looking at her ruined station.
"No we don't... Regina does" David told the three women and Regina looked at him.
"What?" Regina asked looking at the man.
"David?" Snow said quietly.
"You wanna let her die?" Emma said looking at her father in shock.
"Why not? Then it goes away... then we are all safe from it" David answered and Emma turned away from him.
"It's quite the example you're setting for your daughter, there" Regina hissed.
"No... you don't get to judge us" David yelled at her.
"Let me ask you something... where do you think that thing came from?" Regina said with a shout in her voice "Gold".
"I made a promise to Henry" Emma said coming to her father "She's not dying".
"If it can not be killed, what do you suggest?" Snow asked the other three.
"Send it somewhere, where it can not hurt or killed another human or creature" Regina stated with shrug of her shoulders.
The group of four walked back to the town hall where once there up to Regina's office and as the three watched as Regina opened a cupboard and pulled out a box thing and opened it before she did she looked at Emma.
"Did Henry really ask you to protect me?" Regina asked Emma.
"Yes" Regina smiled at the thought and she took out a hat that Emma knew "The hat... you had it all a long"
"What do you mean?" Regina asked.
"That's Jefferson's hat" Emma said and Regina looked at Emma.
"Who's Jefferson?" Regina asked and Emma spotted the lie straight away, but said nothing.
The door to the office opened and in walked Snow and David each holding brooms.
"Torches... for when the wraith comes back" David announced and placed the two he was holding on the table "I know it is old fashioned... but so am I?"
"So how does it work" Snow asked looking at her daughter and step-mother.
Regina smiled and walked out of the office everyone following her and they found themselves in the town hall.
"It will open a portal to our land and all we have to do is send the wraith in there" Regina told them and placed the hat on the floor in the middle of the room.
"Oh... yeah. Just that" David said.
"I don't understand I thought our land was gone" Snow said walking over to Regina and her daughter.
"It is. But sending it to a place that no longer exists...well that's banishing it to oblivion" Regina answered her step-daughter, rumbling and the lights of the town were started to turn on and off and the roaring of the wraith could be heard.
David and Snow lit their brooms with David lighting Emma's one while Emma watched the door. Emma decided to summon some vines to hold the door for a little bit longer.
"Regina..." Emma whispered watching her vines thicken.
"I'm trying" the wraith roars and with a bang the vines and doors were forced opened.
David raced forward and tried to hit the wraith with the fire on his broom.
"Regina" David yelled.
"I know" Regina answered trying to work the hat. Snow emptied a bottle of alcohol on the rails and watched David fight the Wraith.
"DAVID" Snow yelled after she got to the end and David looked behind him and closed the rails over stopping to look over to the wraith and he lit the railings on fire.
"Hurry" he said looking at Regina.
"It's not working" Regina shouted and in terror "It's not working" Regina looked over her shoulder to where David was.
"What's the problem?" Emma asked looking between her father and Regina.
"Magic... it is different here" Regina muttered and Emma looked over to her mother.
"Now would be the time! Uh" the Wraith roars and growls trying to get past the pest of a human and to it's prey.
Emma grabbed Regina's arm and the hat started spinning, David is knocked over to the side while, Emma and Regina back away from the hat.
"It's coming" David shouted looking over to where the three women were.
"REGINA" Emma shouts and pushes Regina out of the way of the Wraith only to be pulled into the hat as well.
"NO" Snow yells watching her daughter disappear with the wraith "I'm not losing her again" snow jumps into the portal with David getting to his feet and jumps over the rail and the portal closes on him and he lands on the floor.
David looks at the floor and to the now broken and burnt hat.
"No" David whispers feeling around the floor and he looked at Regina and he stood up.
Regina on her part looked shocked and to where Snow and Emma disappeared.
"Where are they?" David asks in anger.
"I have no idea" Regina answers truthfully.
"Are they dead?"
"The curse, it destroyed all the lands"
"ARE THEY DEAD?" David yells tears forming in his eyes.
"I don't know" Regina yells back.
"I should've killed you myself"
"Well... then... what's stopping you?" Regina pushes David in to the wall where vines appeared and grabbed David stopping him from moving "You think you're some heroic prince... please... you're nothing but the son of a shepherd... I should've killed you when I could... and now" David gasping for air "And now I can"
"Mum?" David and Regina looked over the door and there Henry and Ruby stood while Charles was looking at them.
"Henry what are you doing here?" Regina asked the young boy.
"What are you doing?" Henry did replied to Regina's question and looked at her in horror and shock.
"It's okay... you're safe now" David was released from the wall and fell to the floor grasping for breath. Ruby runs over to him while Charles wheeled to Henry's side and looked at Regina.
"Where is Emma?" he asked calmly folding his hands on his lap.
"Where's my mum?" Henry said looking around and then to Regina, before looking over to David holding Ruby's arm as he stood up.
"They're gone" Regina replied to the father and son "They fell through a portal... they're... Henry... I'm sorry" Regina begged her son.
"No... you're not... you wanted Emma gone... didn't you... are you going to hurt my dad and grandfather as well" Henry hissed and Charles placed a hand on his shoulder.
"No... why do you think that?" Regina asked and Henry said it bluntly and it cut through Regina's heart.
"You really are the evil queen" Charles had tears forming in his eyes at loosing Emma "I don't want to see you again"
"No... don't say that" Regina begged looking in her son's blue eyes "I love you".
"Then prove it... bring Emma and Mary Margaret back and until you do leave me alone... leave everyone alone" Henry pleaded.
"Well... where will you go?" Regina asked and Charles moved a little forward.
"With me" Charles told her "I am his father after all".
"Or even with me" David told her and Regina looked at the two men.
David came forward and left with Henry while Ruby followed him.
"You will leave my son alone or you will face my wrath" Charles warned Regina.
"What can you do to me?" Regina hissed and she jumped.
'I can control your thoughts, actions and read your mind' Charles voice sounded in her head.
"What are you?" she asked.
"I am a mutant as is Emma and I believe in time Henry will show abilities as well" Charles answered and he left the woman standing alone in the town hall.
David waited for Charles at the car and he looked at the man.
"I did not hurt, just gave her a fright" Charles answered and together the two men, Ruby and Henry got back to Mary Margaret's apartment that she and Emma shared, Ruby helping Charles up the stairs and David pulling the wheelchair up the stairs, it's back wheels climbing up the stairs first.
Henry opens the door and enters, while Charles gets back into his chair and David turning the lights on.
"Do you need anything? Charles, David, Henry" Ruby asked and the three of them shook their heads "See you in the morning then" Ruby left and closed the door.
"Henry" David started and Henry stared at his grandfather.
"Yeah?"
"Don't worry... Emma and Mary Margaret, they're alive" David told him and Henry looked at a photo of the two women.
"How do you know?" Henry asked and Charles chuckled.
"If Emma was ever hurt plants around her started to wilted while letting me know and I would feel it she was dead" Charles told his son.
"I have faith, I know both Emma and Snow will get home to you, Charles and myself, keep believing they will" David told him and Henry nodded.
Charles watched as David cooked Henry pancakes and Charles thought of his X-Men.
They will be fine for a little bit, but tomorrow I will contact Ororo and leave her in charge till Emma and I can visit, my place is by Emma's side and help raise Henry.
Charles thought with a smile and laughed when Henry put floor on David's head and David chasing Henry around the apartment.
Notes from the chapter
Next chapter we will meet Ororo, Jean and Scott. Emma and Snow will not appear again for till chapter four at the end where Emma and Aurora dreams the room with the fire.
The next chapter is short, but it is a fritter chapter.
Do you want Charles to go under the curse or keep it Charming.
Before forget, no one goes to get the true love potion for Maleficent and there is a reason for that, plus Gold had another hidden away.
Chapter Three
The next day dawned bright and very little clouds in the sky.
"Charles" David said looking over to the couch to where the long dark brown hair man slept that previous night.
"Yes" Charles answered moving into his chair and looked at the man.
"Over the course of today, I will be in and out trying to figure out how to bring Emma and Snow back, do you want to spend the day with Henry?" David asked and Charles smiled.
"That would be fun, but I will head out of the apartment and seeing the sites around the town" Charles answered and David nodded.
"Morning grandpa, morning dad" both men looked to the stairs where Henry was coming down the stairs.
"Morning Henry" they replied and David gave Charles a coffee while Henry grabbed the milk and his cereal.
"So what will be going on today?" Henry asked and Charles placed his coffee on the table.
"You and I will be spending the day together, getting to know each other better and where you can hear some funny stories of Emma when training for gifts" Charles told the boy and Henry smiled.
With David's help Charles got down the apartment stairs, David headed over to Regina's while Henry and Charles walked or in Charles' case rolled around the town before heading over to the town to see if anyone needed help.
The two got to the where most to nearly the whole town were, putting posters up for missing loved ones and for others like friends to anyone.
"Henry can you go and stay with Ruby help her out I am going to contact some friends to tell them I am alright" Charles told his son and Henry nodded before walking over to Ruby who was handing out blankets and drinks of water.
Charles wheeled himself into the town hall and saw no one there.
'Ororo' Charles called and hoped that his powers could reach Ororo's mind or even X-Mansion.
At X-Mansion, Ororo was grading papers of her new students she gained when she felt a familiar tingle in her mind, but no voice follow.
'Professor' Ororo said in her mind and nothing came back.
Ororo ran out of room and to the Professor's office and when she opened the door papers were a mess some on the floor while others messed on the desk.
"LOGAN, JEAN, SCOTT" Ororo shouted and many running foot steps could be heard.
Charles sighed at only tickling Ororo's mind at lease Ororo found out he was gone, but Jean not could use Cerebo to find him, so he had no idea how they were to come here.
'Later I will use a phone, I believe I got Ororo and possible Jean, Scott and even Logan if he is at the mansion' Charles thought to himself.
Meanwhile outside David had finally gotten to the town and he saw Henry helping around.
"Henry, where is your dad?" David asked and Henry pointed to the town hall.
"Contacting friends of his so they do not worry about him" Henry replied and David nodded.
"Anyway, have you seen Blue... Mother Superior?" David asked his young grandson.
"No... but everyone is looking for you" Henry told him and Ruby came up to David and Henry.
"Do we know where Rum... Mr Gold is?" Ruby asked
"Wait, does the Queen still have her powers?" Archie Hopper asked.
"I thought I would find my boy" Marco
"He's gotta be planning something"
"I really need..."
"Prince, are the nuns still nuns or can they... well can they date?" Whale
"I don't know..." David answered and found Mother Superior "Blue" he called out to her and the woman turned to David "Could there be a tree on this side? The way we sent Emma through as a baby... maybe I can go after them that way"
"It's possible... but without fairy dust to guide us here, I... no it's hopeless" Blue answered.
"You will find another way... in the book, things always look worst right before there's good news" henry stated and just as Charles exited the building and rolled over to where David and a crowd stood, everyone heard shouting coming closer.
"Terrible news! Terrible news!" Leroy's yelled coming into the square where town hall stood and the crowd gasp as Leroy came into view and came to a stop in front of David and Henry, with Charles just behind them "We were out at the town limits... tell them who you think you are, sneezy" Leroy told one of the men.
"Will you stop calling me that? You know who I am... I'm Tom Clark... I own the Dark Star Pharmacy... what's going on here?" Tom asked looking at David.
"If you cross the border, you lose your memory all over again" Leroy told everyone and Archie Hopper looked at the men.
"What? And coming back doesn't fix it?" he asked.
"If it did... would I have come running in yelling 'Terrible news!'? If we leave, our cursed selves will become our only selves" Leroy told David who looked up.
The crowd started speaking at once and over the top of another. David started moving to get out of the crowd while Charles watched thinking of what Leroy had said.
"People! Everyone! Everybody meet back here in two hours and then I will tell you my plan to fix everything" David told the people in the square and he left with Henry, Charles and Ruby following him.
"What's the plan?" Ruby asked and David looked at her.
"I don't know... I have 2 hours to figure it out" David answered and he walked forward and Ruby stood there and looked back to the crowd of peple some walking home and others getting blankets and putting up posters.
"Do not worry, Ruby... David will find something" Ruby looked to Charles who was passing her.
"Charles, do you have any ideas how to fix this?" David asked the wheelchair bound man.
"No, I have no idea how this curse or even work, if I did I would not know what to do" Charles answered and David sighed before pacing the floor of Mary Margaret's apartment, while Charles and Henry watched.
"Here how is this 'People of Storybooke... I know we are trapped again and things look bleak... but they're not'" David stopped and placed his hands on his head.
"No keep going you were onto something" Henry told his grandfather and David sighed.
"No, I wasn't... I was one who did the fighting... Snow did the talking" David said walking to the kitchen bench and opened his bag and took out the hat.
"Can I see that?" Henry asked and David nodded.
"Yeah" David handed Henry the hat.
"I think I know what this is" Henry said looking happy ad he ran over to the book of fairytales "It's the Mad Hatter's hat... it is a portal between worlds".
"Mad Hatter?" David whispered and Charles over to them.
"You've heard of him... no I mean... yeah, I mean the Prince-me doesn't know him... but David had memories of reading Alice in Wonderland in school... I need to get it work again... who is he?" David looked over to Henry and then back to the book "I mean who is he here?"
"I don't know... maybe he'll check in at the crisis centre... you could check after the thing" Henry told his grandfather.
"What thing?" David asked studying the picture of the Mad Hatter.
"The meeting? Where you tell us all your plan? Remember the speech you were doing?" Henry said to David and Charles chuckled quietly watching David space out and the man left "What did I say?" Henry asked to his father.
"Your grandfather believes he has found a possible way of getting Emma and Mary Margaret back to the town" Charles explained to the young boy.
I AM SKIPPING TO THE EPISODE OF THE DOCTOR AND BITS OF X-MEN.
For the past few days, Charles got to know Henry and David really well and heard stories of how David met Snow, how Snow went under the sleeping curse and how the two of them took back to kingdom.
David and Henry learnt more of Emma's past with the man, Charles did not reveal how he found Emma only just training with her and falling hard for the blonde woman.
"So dad, when did you know that you loved Emma?" Henry asked one afternoon when he and Charles were just were having a light meal at Granny's.
"I really started falling for your mother one month into our training to stop Sebastian Shaw and training our powers, Emma and I were outside in my parent's mansion garden trying to create other flowers different from roses and vines, I remember Emma was looking at a daisy flower when she lost focus and ended wrapping myself and her in a vine and we fell to the ground, her hair longer than it is now, it smelt like honey and roses, her hazel eyes looked up at me and it was then that I saw that I could spend my life with her" Charles explained and Henry smiled happily.
"Why don't you propose to her when she comes back?" Henry said bluntly.
"I would love to, but the ring I had planned to get her is back at my mansion hidden away in my safe" Charles replied having a drink from his tea.
"Then I will go with you and get it" Henry said excited.
"It is not that easy, Henry, one I can not drive nor can I take you from this town, your grandfather would try to follow even if we were to tell him or even your adoptive mother, who I do not like one bit" Charles told Henry who looked down before smiling.
"Why don't you call one of your X-Men to bring that cool jet you were telling me about and take you to get the ring" Henry said and Charles looked down.
"I am not sure if your mother would want to marry me" Charles whispered and Henry stared at the man.
"You broke the curse by kissing Emma, but in order to break both you and mum had to still love each other" Henry explained and Charles looked at his son in awe.
"Emma still loves me" Charles muttered and Henry nodded.
