regina's face lit up when she heard the sound of the front door opening , assuming that it would be her son coming through the door. wiping her hands on her apron she walked around the kitchen island to greet him. " hi honey ! " she quickly pulled him into a short embrace , pressing her cheek against his. regina was careful not to get lipstick on him --- knowing the kind of embarrassment it could cause. while she enjoyed the confidence karate had given him , there was a deep change in him. a new hurt and anger in his eyes that she too easily recognized. some days neither of them could tell if it was going to be a good day or not. " how was school ? " her smile was warm as she looked at him index finger and thumb holding his chin for a second before letting go. " do you want dinner before or after karate ? "

the cold city air whipped the fabric of her skirt like some menacing flag on the rooftop. frozen eye lashes were felt with every blink. yet the thrumming of cold pounding through her viens was quickly ignored upon seeing THE BATMAN. teeth were turned into a threatening smile , eyes wild as the freezing air accentuated her words like ghosts. " well ! if it isn't the big bad vermin. " regina slowly descended down from the ledge she was leaning upon , smile sliding off her face as her words shaped into disgust. " GOTHAMS protector --- i don't suppose you're one to talk things out either. "

white knuckled hands had stayed splayed on the cold stone floor beneath her. the up-do and care taken with her hair was tossed aside over her exposed shoulders. the white gown in all its shimming perfection only made her feel more suffocated by her situation. so she flipped through the pages of her mothers black book and chanted for someone to FREEZE HER HEART. to end the waves of grief pulling her under over and over again. it did not matter that she could not read these symbols. regina knew the cost of magic and was more than willing to pay it now.

by the time she heard his voice her cheeks were flushed and stained with tears. glossy brown eyes so tenderly looked up at the man in her room. " please. " quickly from her knees did she rise to stand before him. wiping her eyes with the sheer fabric of her robe , she sighed hoping to gain composure. " please just take it. i-i don't know who you are but if you could just take my heart and freeze it. " she had no more options left . regina could let these feelings swallow her whole, or hope for a strangers pity. " i've seen my mother take out a heart before i'm sure it that different. " she sighed and looked him in the eyes. " i'll give you anything you want. "

" did something happen ? " her brows pinched together just a bit , as red lips pursed together with worry. jordan's visits to her home were frequent but never without purpose. before the curse she could not imagine him coming to her for anything. there was nothing she had nor knew that he could not conjure or already knew himself. that knowledge kept her feelings away from him. knowing that he could only want something from her. she could never be needed by jordan. " do you want to come inside ? " she crossed her arms across her chest, now cold from the night air in only her silk shirt. even with the curse broken she had mayoral, motherly and magical responsibilities. the door leaning against her was moved as a further invitation to lead him inside the house. regina's voice echoed in the emptiness of it all. " did you eat ? "

" oh really ? " there was a subtle change in her dark brown eyes, one that exchanged rage for something deeper and darker within her. the long brown tresses moved ever so slightly over her shoulder as she cocked her head to the side, beckoning him to continue. " you think that because you can just peek into my mind you know it all ? " regina smiled at him , the crimson lips lifting to reveal bared teeth. quickly she grabbed his cheeks her hand, squeezing just a bit til she could feel his teeth. ( for she was not sure that he had a heart to take ) " you know NOTHING about me and mind controlling me won't get you there you know why ? " she looked him in the eyes now, unafraid and uncaring if he took control away from her. " you never had a mother. or a father. " although it was silent where they were , regina kept her voice at a whisper between them. " you cannot know the kind of betrayal i have been dealt and the sacrifices i have made to be where i am. i am THE QUEEN , and no amount of magic you have will ever make you understand how i feel. " she let go of his face and stepped back. " how could you ? you were made to destroy the world. "
