Vanessa's pov 
"Oh, God! Is he unconscious?" Emma asked. 
"Henry, can you hear us?" Regina asked. 
"He passed out as soon as his heart went into Pan." Neal said. 
"Is he breathing?" Regina asked. 
"Just hang in there, buddy." Neal asked. Peter lowered himself to the ground. 
"What the hell did you two do to him?" Emma asked. 
"Oh, we didn't do anything, Emma. It was Henry." I said. 
"He offered me his heart of his own free will." Peter said. Emma took out her sword. 
"I'm gonna take it back from you." Emma said. She tried to attack us but we teleported to the other side. Peter took the box with Rumpelstiltskin. 
"I don't think you have it in you. Rumpelstiltskin didn't. Why should you?" Peter asked. 
"Where is he?" Emma asked. 
"What did you do?" Neal asked. 
"Why, he's right in this box. Safe and sound and out of the way. Unfortunately for you, he can't hurt me anymore. Neither can you." Peter said. 
"Really?" Emma asked and nicked him on the arm. "How did that feel?" Emma asked. 
"Like a tickle." Peter said. Peter and I flew away. 
No one's pov
"How is he?" Emma asked. 
"You're gonna be alright, Henry. We're gonna get you home." Regina said. She did a preservation spell on Henry. "This preservation spell can keep hin in this condition for a while longer. Buy us time to get to Pan." Regina said. 
"You were a Lost Boy. Any idea where they went?" Emma asked Neal. 
"I know where he lived. His compound." Neal said. 
"Well, that's idiotic. We all know that. You think they're stupid enough to go back? You're useless." Regina said. 
"Okay, enough." Emma said. 
"Don't tell me what's enough! My son is dying." Regina said. 
"Our son. So, yes, I know how you feel." Emma said. 
"You have no idea what I feel. You have your parents. You have this... person. A pirate who pines for you. You have everything, and yet you claim to know what I feel? All I have is Henry. And I'm not about to lose him because he is everything." Regina said. 
"You're right. I don't know what you feel. So, what do you wanna do? You wanna run the show? Run it. How do we save Henry?" Emma asked. 
"I don't know." Regina answered. 
"Even if we can find Pan, he was powerful before. With Henry's heart, I don't know if we can hurt him." Neal said. 
"Yes, we can. Look, you nicked him. If he can bleed, we can hurt him. And if we can hurt him, we can kill him. And we will." Regina said. 
"Gold is in a box? Then David can never leave the island." Mary Margret said. Henry lay in a bed. 
"Mary Margret, that doesn't matter. I've already made peace with that. What matters is Henry. How much time do we have?" David asked. 
"Maybe an hour before the preservation spell wears off." Regina said. 
"If they're airborne, they could be anywhere on the island." Neal said.
