[Good morning Wonderland. At approximately 9AM this morning, a bicycle materializes out of thin air and crashes in the woods somewhere.

About half an hour later, the person responsible realizes that maybe that wasn't the best way to get rid of something and decides to address the network about it. So here's Zelena, looking like she really doesn't want to talk about this, but is going to anyway]

If you were out in the woods today and got hit by a bicycle, I suppose I owe you an apology. Decided to do some early spring cleaning, and...well, probably could've picked a better way to do it, but it's too late for that now.

[She smirks, an attempt at humor to go with an apology she doesn't really feel the need to give, but you know, there you go. She tried. And apparently that counts! Or at least that's what she's been led to believe.]

And if you weren't concussed this morning and actually want the damn thing, by all means, take it.

[Not like she wants to deal with it anymore. Especially not today, no thank you.]

[ Sarah can't help but frown deeply at that and apparently it brings an emotional response out of her. ]

That's bullshit. This place, I mean. Taking you away from your infant? God...

[ What the fuck, she'd be pissed. So props to Zelena for seeming so calm about it. ]

I'm sorry you're here. I mean, in regards to not being with your daughter.

Right. I might not have had the best teacher, but I certainly know that much.

[Somebody'll figure it out. Someday.]

Then it can stay up there for all I care.

Not the first time someone's tried to separate us, and at least the cell's nicer.

[...okay, she entirely deserved it and she knows that, but still.]

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be with her, but the fact that I know she'll be exactly where I left her and when I left her if I leave this place, well, that helps.

If we could just...get our hands one one of the people that sometimes come on the network before things happen, maybe...we could get them to have a real conversation with us. One on one.

[ Everything has to have answers, and he wants to know them. ]

I guess that's true. And I'm trying to keep that in mind, too. Still. That doesn't make missing them go away. And yet, at least our kids aren't here. At least, that's how I feel. Kids die during the things that happened. I just...I couldn't imagine it.

[ Even if he came back, she'd never recover from it, there's no way. ]

Henry, are you saying we should kidnap one of them?

[This is why he's her favorite nephew.]

Storybrooke?

[Now, that's just quaint.]

Who lives in a place like that, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?

I refuse to imagine it. Believe me, the day it happens is the day I go back on deciding to not burn this whole place to the ground.

[She's not kidding. If it ever happened, she's going to go on a rampage until she finds whoever or whatever is responsible and makes it pay for that.]

Unfortunately.

[She is dead serious here.]

So. Stories are just real where you're from, but you're hating Snow White?

She a jerk or are you just on the wrong side? I don't mind, I'll side with you either way. You throw around bikes.

I honestly don't know why someone hasn't already tried to burn this place down. But it also seems like a lot of kids are minus any parents here. The only one I know of is this kid named Henry, and that just seems super lucky.

[ No, she has no idea she's talking to family. ]

Whoops.

[ His cheeks redden a little. ]

I guess that's kind of what it sounded like, didn't it?

Oh, that wasn't about her. It's the dwarves I can't stand.

[Hating Snow White was more her sister's thing anyway.]

Tried tearing a hole in it once. Didn't take.

[But on to a more pleasant topic.]

Sounds like you've met my nephew then.

[After all, that's the only Henry she knows that's here.]

More than kind of. Still, I can't say I'm opposed to the idea.

[Because of course.]

What did the dwarves do to you?

[This is turning out more interesting than expected.]

Not a thing. Just don't care for them.

[Yet she considers them somehow worse than munchkins despite this. The mysteries of Once Upon A Time and it's questionable writing never cease.]

Let's say that's a last resort. I don't think my mom would actually approve of me trying to kidnap Alice or something.

[ Yikes. Whoops. Or, you know, Zelena could technically do the kidnapping without Henry knowing and then he could just kind of...show up for the questioning part.

You know. ]

Wow. That sounds...intense.

[ And way behind her comprehension, so, moving on. ]

Henry's your nephew? We've talked a few times. Actually...the first time I met him he was pretty upset. I think some people left here that he doesn't necessarily have back home.

[ Sarah is so blissfully unaware of how complicated it all gets behind the very first few branches of Henry's family tree. ]

He's seemed fine since then, and even offered to dance with me at the last big party. He's a gentleman, for sure.

Who said it was you? Seems your dear aunt Zelena didn't quite understand that good people don't go around kidnapping other ones.

[She's got your back on this one, Henry.]

Edited 2017-03-15 00:01 (UTC)

[At that one, Zelena just looks away for a moment. At both of them actually. The time portal hadn't been the best idea, and those people that Henry doesn't have back home? Whose fault was that again?

Oh right.

Hers.

...it's not often she feels bad about things, rare enough that there's this moment of wait what's this, but man does she dislike it.

So after that moment of wow, that was a mistake, she'll find her footing again.]

He certainly is. All the credit goes to his mother really. One of them, anyway.

Yeah...he's tried explaining to me his whole complicated family...thing. But at the end of the day, he seems really happy that you and one of his moms are here and he definitely feels loved and supported, so. Maybe that's all that matters in this place because God knows a lot of people show up here alone.

[ Sarah's glad he has at least two people here looking out for him. That's more than most of the kids. ]

[ He should not say 'this is why you actually are the best' so he doesn't. But he does grin, and that probably says it all. But he does want to clarify: ]

For the record, you've been a pretty great aunt. Even without the kidnapping on my behalf.

[ And he absolutely means in Wonderland because this is the only place, apparently, they're allowed to all grow as people. ]

So.

[Where does he even go from here?]

How are you on gnomes? Ever kick any over?
