The taxi was cramped, even with Lillian in the front seat beside the driver. Emma was relieved when they finally pulled up in front of an apartment building, allowing Henry to literally jump out of the car to stretch his legs. Emma and Mr. Gold followed him out as Lillian paid the driver and stepped out herself, coming to Henry's side.

Emma turned to see Gold tighten his grip on his cane. ''What's wrong?'' She asked, looking between Lillian and Mr Gold. ''This is the right place?''

Lily gave a small nod. ''Yup, positive.'' Correctly reading her expression Emma sighed. 

''Let me guess. He's not expecting you?'' When neither Lillian or Mr. Gold answered she gave a soft nod. ''Well, who doesn't love a surprise?''

''Bealfire.'' Lillian dryly replied, looking at the tall building.  


-----------One upon a time------------ 

Pan watched in silence, on leg hanging off the thick branch as Lilith was softly singing to Bealfire. Waving her fingers through his hair as they shimmered a small shade of gold, making Bea fall into a deep sleep. As she was singing he was captivated by her voice. 

''I am a lost girl from Neverland,
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan,
And when we're bored we play in the woods,
Always on the run from Captain Hook,
Run, run, lost girl, they say to me
Away from all of reality.''

She smiled as Bealfire fell into a deep sleep. Looking up into the tree she smirked, allowing Peter to come down. Softly removing Bea's head from her lap, she took Peter's extended arm which pulled her up. Sneaking an arm around her waist he gave her forehead a small kiss. Grabbing her hand as he moved towards his tent, already pulling off her shirt.

Looking at the names Lillian shook her head as she took a step back.

''No Bealfire.'' Henry noted as he looked back at Lily who was currently tugging on her gloves. 

''Yeah, that probably wouldn't be an alias.'' She looked back at the pawn shop owner. ''Your magic globe didn't give you an apartment number?'' 

''It doesn't work that way.'' He snapped, leaning closer to the name plates. Names are what I traffic in, but none of these I don't know.'' Emma than pointed at a plate with no name at all, just the apartment number as she pressed it. 

Listening to a loud metal sound. ''He's running!'' Lilith yelled out a she ran outside, ready to run after him before her father pulled her back. 

''That favor, this is it. Get him to talk to me.'' Lillian looked back a her wrist while Emma looked at her. 

''Watch Henry.''

''Good job Lilith.'' Rumple told the eight year old. She looked up from healing him, he gave her a soft nod and stood up. Helping her from her seat as he smiled at her. ''I have a surprise for you.''

She frowned at her mentor who had a huge smirk on his face. ''My birthday isn't for another two months.''  

''Oh I know, but you'll love this.'' He knew he most certainly would, he was eager for Lilith to have her revenge on the person who hurt her most.
