"Son I don't understand." Gold stated. He was confused on Alex's whole plan. It made sense in a way, but then again would it work?

"Don't worry father. I've got it under control. By the way where is, Mother?"

"She just left town to a library convention. Why?"

Alex rubbed his hands together.

"Excellent. I love Mother, but she would definitely want to stop this plan."

Gold nodded. Based on the parts that Alex had told him, it did not sound like Belle would like it one bit.

"Are you sure about this?" He asked.

Alex nodded confidently. "Like I said I have it planned and it shall not fail. Just do as I say and it will work perfectly."

"So light and dark magic both can destroy the dagger?"

"Well, you have to be able to embrace both the dark and light within you. And you know exactly where we can get the purest and most powerful source of light magic." Alex paced back and forth talking excitedly.

"Of course I know." Gold said thinking about the savior.

"Well then all you have to do is call her and get her here. I'll be the one taking her powers."

Gold thought it through one more time. It didn't matter if Alex casted the spell. He would still be blamed.

"No one will forgive me."

"Emma doesn't need powers. Hasn't she always denied them anyways? Why let the power go to waste. You need them more, to teach me. Besides, I found an interesting thing among Regina's things. There was an old book of spells and I found exactly what I was hoping to find. A forgetting spell. Of course I haven't exactly tried it, but it seems simple enough. I shall just cast it after we have taken all her powers and no one will have an idea where Emma's powers went."

"Well you certainly have thought of everything." Gold smiled at Alex.

"I know." Alex gleamed.

Gold patted Alex on the back. "I'm proud of you, son."

Alex looked up and attacked his father with a hug. "Thank you, father."

"I can't believe we haven't found him yet." Henry said disappointed.

They had been searching all night and they had found no clues as to where Alex might be. Henry and Lily wanted to keep searching but all the adults suggested that they'd take a break.

"He'll turn up. You'll find him before trouble begins. I know." Mary Margaret said while hugging Henry.

Everyone was now sitting around or grabbing snacks.

Lily was playing with baby Neal.

"This is so weird. I'm carrying uncle Neal like he probably did with me."

She bounced him up and down.

"You're so cute. You look a lot like..."

Killian had been thinking worried about Alex who might pop in at any moment, but looked up when Lily didn't finish.

"He looks like who, Lily?" He asked.

"Um. No one."

"Perhaps a brother? Do I have a son too? What's the lad's name?" Killian asked getting up from his seat.

"Woah. Don't bombard the kid with so many questions." Emma replied while walking by.

Killian looked at Lily who casually looked away and he smiled. He knew Lily was hiding something and if she stayed silent then there was a high possibility that he was right.
