Regina is shaking all over; the only thing keeping her upright is Robin. Leopold’s grave is destroyed- burnt to the ground. Burnt down by a man who killed five people, burnt down to avenge what her stepfather did to her.

How did he know? She has only told a handful of people.

Her mother, Zelena, David, Daniel and now Robin and she knows none of them told her little horror story to someone else. So how does this fucking sociopath knows her dark painful secret?

And how much else does he know?

She hasn’t said a word yet but she can feel many worried eyes on her. Eyes belonging to her team. Gold got Emma, Neal and Archie and Regina knows she has to tell them, has to explain what the killer means with this letter. She doesn’t want to, doesn’t know if she can but the simple truth is she doesn’t have a choice.

This letter changes a lot. They have a motive now. The killings aren’t random, this is about revenge. An eye for an eye. The cycle of abuse taken to a new level.

“Regina…what does this mean? What he is talking about?” Neal’s uncertain voice rips her out of her thoughts. He is nervous; clearly doesn’t want know but is aware that he has to. Emma is unusually calm, reading the letter over and over again.

She has to tell them- thankfully just them for now, Gold assured her but it doesn’t make this any easier. Regina can feel Robin’s grip on her shoulder tighten for a moment before rubbing soothing circles again. Telling her she isn’t alone in this.

She can do this. She has to do this.

“Regina?” Emma asks quietly as Regina still hasn’t said a word.

“Maybe we should do this later, give Regina some space,” Archie suggests but Regina interrupts him. She has to do this, and not telling it now is only putting off the inventible.

“No we’ll do this now. Its needed information and it won’t be any easier if I have to tell you it in an hour. Let’s just get this over with.”

She can feel Robin come a bit closer but he remains silent. He gets that she has to do this now.

“As you all are aware Leopold was my stepfather and that we didn’t get along all that well.”

Regina takes a deep breath and just says it.

“Leopold sexually abused me in my teenage years and as you can all guess was never punished for it. I’ve only told this to very few people in my life whom I trust explicitly to keep their mouth shut about it. I do not know how he found out about it.”

There is a moment of silence in the room before Neal speaks up

“I’m sorry Regina.”

“I have no use for your pity, Cassidy. I need you to focus. This information changes things, we have a motive now. Let’s use that to take him down.”

Regina is completely calm, mask perfectly in place. She will break down later.

“We will Regina. But we are your friends not just you co-workers. Are you… I mean I know you aren’t okay but… are you okay?” Emma babbles, not sure how to comfort her friend just right now.

“I’m fine Miss Swan. Now stop standing around like a bunch of idiots and get to work.”

Both Emma and Neal nod and figure it’s better to do as asked. Emma squeezes Regina’s shoulder on the way out and Regina manages a small smile. She knows Emma’s past wasn’t all rainbows and unicorns either so the other woman might understand more than she lets on.

“Regina if you want to talk… you have a lot on your plate right now.”

“As I said Dr. Hopper I’m fine. Thank you for the offer though. I have work do to now.”

With that Regina stands up and leaves Gold’s office- Gold, who has stayed mostly silent but she can see his anger on her behalf. She needs a moment to herself. She walks out, walks to the bathroom and locks herself in. Her head is throbbing but it’s nothing against the pain in her heart. Memories crashing down on her, memories of Leopold’s hands on her, of him holding her down, of feeling so damn helpless, of feeling worthless.

She’s shaking, not from fear but from anger. This pain- her past- it is her pain, hers alone and he had no right to use it, to compare them, to justify killing those people. No matter what exactly happened to him, to this person… Ruby and Ariel were innocents and he dared to compare them.

Regina can’t hold back the tears anymore, they break free and god it hurts, everything hurts and she can’t breathe. Can’t till she suddenly feels arms around her, strong arms holding her. Holding her soothingly; arms here to comfort, not to restrain and she tenses up at first, struggles against it (he immediately lets go) but then she hears his voice, his warm and calm voice and suddenly all she wants is to be held. She lets him hold her and cries.

Robin can feel the exact moment where she pulls away from before she actually pulls away from him; can feel how she closes herself up again.

And, just as predicted, Regina is not just the one who started the kiss but also the one who stops it. Stops it by jumping up; face on again, pale, eyes sad. Robin would do anything to make that pain he sees go away, but he knows he can’t.

Knows that isn’t his job anyway. She isn’t his to fix, he hates that word anyway. Regina isn’t broken or anything, she is just hurting and he wishes she would tell him. He hasn’t known her for very long but she already means a great deal to him. There had been an immediate chemistry between them- a connection.

Of course working with a gruesome case like they do- a case where you need to have a partner you can trust- helped them along, getting close rather quickly.

He was more than a little surprised when she kissed him, lips softer than he imagined (no matter what will happen this will be a moment he will keep in his mind for a very long time, safely tucked away but highly treasured)

It had been amazing, the touch of her lips against his, his hands in her silky locks pulling her closer. She tasted like apple and vanilla and he wants nothing more than to kiss her again.

But judging by the look in her eyes that won’t happen any time soon and probably shouldn’t have happened in the first place.

“Regina I…”

Robin can’t sleep; too much is on his mind. A glance to the nightstand tells him it’s almost 5 am and he sighs. So much for getting well rested to work. But his thoughts have wandered off- have wandered off to a killer who took the life of two innocent woman. Robin tries not to think of how much pain Ruby and Ingrid must’ve been in; how afraid they must’ve been.

Tries not to think of Ruby’s grandparents and the loss of their little girl, tries not to think of the pain in Elsa’s eyes. He shakes his head to get rid of those heavy thoughts, they are not helping.

But then his mind drifts to different eyes, eyes equally full of pain. Robin thinks of how Regina whimpered and pleaded in her sleep and every part of him wants to make her pain go way wants to soothe whatever is troubling his new partner. He knows it’s none of his business- knows that Regina can handle herself just fine- but he aches to comfort her, to tell her she doesn’t have to deal with it by herself.

Whatever it is she is dealing with.

He is quite taken by his new partner he has to admit. Well so is his little boy, Robin thinks with a smirk. Roland hasn’t stopped talking about Regina since the day they met and has asked multiple times when they could go and visit his Gina again. And Henry of course, who his boy might even admire more than he does Regina.

Robin is still rather fascinated how fast his son came to like his new partner and her son. It’s not that Roland isn’t a social kid or anything but he is shy and it usually takes some time till he trusts someone. Robin always fears that his work, a work where he sometimes sees the worst in people, has affected his son in any way, so he is quite glad that his boy gave his trust so quickly to someone who’s clearly worthy of it.

Once again his thoughts wander to the Lucas’s and the pain they must feel; Robin can’t even imagine losing Roland. Sure, the death of Marian has been gutting- crushed his heart but he survived. He is sure he wouldn’t get over Roland’s death, no matter how hard he tries

His boy is his entire world. He can’t imagine a life without him.

Something he knows his new partner can also relate to. He has seen her with her son, can see the love and pride Regina has for Henry. Justified of course- the lad is a well raised and very bright child. And the protectiveness of the almost 10 year old warms Robin’s heart.

Henry will be a fine man someday, he thinks while also making a mental note to tell that Regina. He knows how much it would mean to her

Robin is just about to turn around and maybe get another hour of sleep or so when the phone rings and his face loses all color.
