There's a crunch and Peter Pan reaches up to hold his nose, which is now trickling blood, much to my satisfaction.

"Ouch!" He bites his tongue and waves his hand frantically over it. With a crunch, he drops his hand and frowns. "Nice to have you back."

"Oh my gosh." I remember trying to hug him... being all gushy. I want to puke. "Ugh." I gag as I think of all the things I just did. "Did I really just..." I don't want to know the answer.

"Yes." He says, still slightly annoyed. "You really were that awful. Now, please, if you don't mind...." 

"How... how did you let me do that?!" I ask, aghast, feeling like puking.

To my amazement, he starts laughing. Really laughing. "You seemed to enjoy yourself. I have never seen you so...

"Would you quit it?" I ask. "I have a feeling you brought me back from the dead because you want something, am I right?" 

"I'd rather not go into details, but yes. I do. I'll wait until you're better though." 

"Oh how considerate." I say dryly. "Well as it so happens, I want something from you, too. Let's make a deal."

"Hold up." Emma and the others come through the forest to find us. "Pan, you promised we could go home if we helped you. Well... we've upheld your part of the bargain, now you have to uphold yours."

"Very well." He nods. "You can all leave."

"Not without Ruby." Henry crosses his arms over his chest and comes to stand beside me. I smile at him.

"Hey Henry."

"You remember now?" He smiles.

"Oh yes. And if I had to do it all over again, I would. I promise." I kneel down to his height and hug me feircely.

"There's the problem." Pan snaps his fingers. "Ruby can't go."

"What?" Bae frowns. "you said..."

"No I never said anything about her going back. Storybrooke is not her home. And besides that, she can't leave even if she wants to."

"W... oh." David looks down. "Dreamshade... the water..."

"That's right." Pan says snidely. "And you can't leave either, Charming, in case you've forgotten."

"Gold, surely you have something... back at your shop?" Bae says imploringly. "Remember our deal?"

Rumple nods with a sigh. "Yes. I did agree to that. And I will do that for you, Bae. But I can only save one person." 

"Everyone go." I get up from hugging Henry. "I'll be alright here."

"I'm not leaving you with... him." Emma glares at Pan. "He's a monster."

"Lucky I know how to control him." I wink at her. "Please, everyone, you've done more than enough. You should go back to your home. I don't belong in Storybrooke. I don't belong in the other world either."

"Then..." Mary Margaret starts.

"I don't know where I belong." I admit. "But I'll figure it out." 

"Well, you can all be on your way." Pan says cheerfully. He produces a vial of the Neverland water. "Here's the water to keep you breathing until you recover, Charming."

"Thanks a bundle, Pan." He says wryly as he takes it.

"Goodbye love." Hook gives me a hug. "I'll miss your bright red hair."

"Thanks Hook." I smile.  Emma leans over and smiles at me.

"Beat him. Hear me?"

"Yeah." I smile tiredly.

Henry runs into me, almost bowling me over.. He wraps his hands around me, pulling me down to his size. "I'm going to miss you." He mumbles, leaning his head against my shoulder.

"I'm going to miss you too kid." I whisper. "You're safe now, though.

"Thank you Ruby." He says.

"We're leaving, Henry." Regina says. She summons a whirlwind around them. 

In a few moments, we're left in the swirling dust of their departure. "That was nice of you." I say dryly.

"What?" He asks, eyes wide.

"Letting them leave."

He shrugs. "I have what I need. Now... are you ready to make a deal?"

A/N: YES I'M A CRUEL BASTARD!!! HAHAHA. Not really. ;) Keep guessing on who the parents are - I may not be the best author but I always keep my promises. ;) For anyone who can get it, they'll get a dedication, and a follow and reads and votes on a story, or stories of their choice. KEEP THE GUESSES COMING! I'm sure one of you will get it eventually. ;)
