Aftershocks: Orion, Emma and Henry
"I’ll try not to be worried but I can’t help it." Henry said looking up at Emma. “It’s just…given everything that’s happened to us and to you it’s hard to be hopeful." While Emma and Orion where looking through the books in his grandfathers shop Henry decided to take a little look around so that he wouldn’t be in their way. He didn’t trust Orion even if he was his uncle. Which was something he was still curious about but thought it best to save that question for later on.
"It's all I can do right now. We know better than to just go diving into a portal, especially when we have no idea what's waiting for us on the other side. If...that's even possible." Emma hoped that wherever Graham had ended up...it wasn't some kind of hell world with torture...and fire..and...no, this isn't helping. She continued to turn the pages quickly, scanning for anything that looked like the word "portal" or "vortex" or "other world." "I can't find anything that describes what that thing is." She sounded exasperated. "Henry, don't go too far..." She turned to look at her son with worry filled eyes. "Maybe we should try throwing something into it...and see what happens?" Emma asked Orion, running out of ideas.
"I don't think anyone sure of mind would go and jump in a portal if they didn't know where it led, well at least I wouldn't." Orion took to looking through some of the crocodile's books for anything but like Emma, he had no luck in finding anything to do with a portal. Letting out sigh and shutting the books he listened to the sheriff's solution. As much as he could criticize he knew she did have a better idea about what was going on. "I like that idea but what should be throw in? Maybe something that we could communicate with?"
"Listen, Hook Jr." Emma’s voice had an new edge to it, warning him not to cross her. “I was merely stating the facts. Your father mentioned in passing that he had been to other worlds. This is what I do, connect the dots." Emma’s hand brushed across her badge still mounted on her hip for emphasis on her words. “We have no idea whether or not he’s still alive…but it’s not for you to decide. Mr. Gold is a very powerful man…and I don’t think we could be rid of him that easily." Emma shook her head before turning her attention back to her son. “I’ve seen Neal beat the odds before Henry…plenty of times. Wherever your dad is…I’m sure he’s fighting to get back to you with all he’s got. I’m not worried about him..and neither should you. ok?" Emma’s blue eyes glittered with concern for her son, and for those trapped in…wherever the hell they were. Emma strode over to the book shelf and began pulling books off of the shelf, scanning the words quickly for anything pertaining to magic or portals or swirly blue vortex thingies that steal all your loved ones away.
Orion thought better of challenging the sheriff for the moment and knew that he would cross her path again in the future but for now he wanted to find his father again and try to get him back to this land, He found it somewhat curious than the others. Watching as Emma looked through some books in the crocodile's shop Orion wandered over behind her and stared to read some of the book she had in front of her. "What are you expecting to find lass? Some instruction on how to get them back?"
so is no one online/replying?
Aftershocks: Orion, Emma and Henry

Emma was in the middle of shouting at Orion, something about him being a pirate and pirate was just a fancy name for liar when Henry shouted at them. The usually docile and quiet child was now commanding her to do something, and it rattled her world. "I'm sorry Henry, you're right.." Emma took a deep breath and started again. "I have heard Hook mention traveling to other lands. It was just an idea. I'm the sheriff..I have to go over every detail." Turning back to Henry, she put her hands on his shoulders. "No, I havn't seen Neal...I havn't seen...really anyone...actually..." Emma scanned the room.There was a coffee cup on the counter, turned over and spilling. Emma squinted her eyes into slits as she walked close to investigate. "Gold is a very tidy man...he would never have..." She looked outside again. "He left here abruptly..and my guess is, this wasn't a pre-booked vacation."
Even though the small boy had somewhat calmed the situation Orion was still furious about being spoken down to especially since he had done nothing wrong and to be called a liar was insulting enough. "My father has only traveled to Neverland and to this one. As have I." He said not letting his glare falter even once." The pirate watched Emma closely and saw what he thought was the first time she had done her job since he met her- investigated. "So the crocodile should be dead?" he said with a sinister smile on his face that he didn't even bother to conceal. "That is one evil out of the world."
Aftershocks: Orion, Emma and Henry
Orion stood closer to Emma and his nephew, looking down at the boy to see if he looked anything similar to Orion. “How about we take it easy on the lad?” Orion said gently putting his hand on Emma’s wrist after seeing how hard she was clutching his sweater. “The lad has been through something terrible no doubt so best give him a bit of space to breath.” He looked down at Henry after making sure Emma didn’t seem as frantic as she had. “Now lad, tell us what you saw.”
“They… they fell into it.” Henry replied saddened by the memory. He could hear how worried his mom sounded and wished that he had better news but he didn’t. “It’s just after that blue light and the shake. We went outside to go see what it was and it pulled them in.” He looked at Orion and wasn’t sure if he should trust him or not but still continued to tell his mother everything he knew. “I..I…came to Mr Gold’s shop because he has magic and could get them back but he’s not here and the back is open. Do you think he fell through as well?”
Emma glared at Orion as he grabbed her wrist. She didn't need his opinion on anything regarding his son, but she eased off anyway. He was at least right about that. "Gold either fell through the portal...or he's the one who created this mess in the first place. How do we know?" Emma didn't usually express her suspicions to her son...or mere strangers, but these were special circumstances. "From the way you're describing it...it doesn't sound like Regina. Besides, if she was trying to ship people off to another dimension I think I'd be the first name on her list." Emma stood up from her crouched position. "There is only one more person I can think of who has the kind of knowledge to create something like that." Emma turned to Orion. "Your father..." Her blue eyes were piercing, angry and demanding.
"Easy lass," Orion said glaring back at Emma, "I hadn't seen my father in years before our brief reunion but that was when that damned light came and knocked me off his boat!" Although he hadn't seen Kilian in years he knew that he didn't posses such a skill to create a portal...unless he used a bean. "How could my father create a portal? He isn't magic and wouldn't want to infect himself with that filth."
Aftershocks: Orion, Emma and Henry
Emma was far too distracted by the words "Regina. Graham. through the portal." to get into their complicated family tree just yet. "What do you mean, Henry?" Emma sounded urgent...distressed. "You saw them go into that thing?" She pointed outside at the swirling blue void. "When was that? What exactly did you see?" She probably didn't even notice that she was clutching Henry's sweater a little too hard as she frantically searched his face for answers. If what he was saying was true, then her partner was in that thing...god knows where and she had no idea how to rescue him.
Orion stood closer to Emma and his nephew, looking down at the boy to see if he looked anything similar to Orion. "How about we take it easy on the lad?" Orion said gently putting his hand on Emma's wrist after seeing how hard she was clutching his sweater. "The lad has been through something terrible no doubt so best give him a bit of space to breath." He looked down at Henry after making sure Emma didn't seem as frantic as she had. "Now lad, tell us what you saw."
Aftershocks: Orion, Emma and Henry
"I wish it were that simple." Emma deadpanned back at her newly acquainted pirate companion. "His father has recently come back into his life and also has quite an influence on Henry. The kid wants to know more about his heritage, where we all came from.." Emma shrugged slightly. "He's headstrong and determined. You'll see." A smile tried to make it's way across her mouth at the thought, as they made their way down the street towards the pawn shop. Emma realized how excited Henry was probably going to be at the discovery that his uncle was a pirate. This could go so wrong, so fast. The smile that was threatening to break her stoney exterior was only a ghost now. Turning the knob to the shop, Emma was surprised to find it already unlocked. This is the part where she would have normally exchanged glances with Graham..so she looked over to Orion and for a moment..became very sad. She brushed it off quickly, as she was immediately surprised to find her son standing in the entryway of Mr. Gold's shop. "Henry!" She knelt down quickly to wrap him into a tight hug. "I was so worried about you..are you ok?" She pressed him away from her so that she could get a better look at him, checking for scratches or bruises or injuries of any kind.
"The poor lad will only be disappointed when he learns it was his own grandfather that killed his grandmother. And for nothing." Orion spat. He couldn't, and didn't even bother, to try and hide the bitterness and anger in his tone. He watched closely as Emma opened the door then was a little surprised as she turned to him and gave him a strange look. He quickly realized it was not a look meant for him but probably for the owner of the clothes he was wearing. The quick sadness that flashed on her face before turning away from Orion made him curious but his curiosity was soon turned towards the boy about half Orion's size. Emma had rushed over to him which made him know that it was the Henry she was so concerned about. "So, you must be my nephew," he said flashing Henry a smile, "nice to meet you lad."
Aftershocks: Orion and Emma
Emma was a little surprised by his question. What did Orion know about Gold? "He knows enough. He's a kid though, and wants to see good in people despite whether they deserve it or not. Gold has been showing more of an interest in Henry lately than I'd like." Emma rolled her eyes at the thought. Mr. Gold couldn't seem to pick a path, good. evil. It seemed to be something different every day. Emma obviously didn't trust him. "In fact, we should probably look for Henry at Gold's shop. It seems to be a hub for these things." She gestured towards the portal as they made their way down the street. "what do YOU know about him?" Intrigued, she stared at him with intent.
"When I first Rumpelstiltskin I was only a child. He was the Dark One then." Orion thought back to that day like he had so many times. He would never forget the scale skin of the Dark One, it had frightened him as soon as he saw it but now it just made him angry. "You should have seen his skin. It was disgusting. I don't know much other than he killed my mother and cut off my fathers hand. I didn't know it then but it turns out your Henry's father and I share blood. We have the same mother." That revelation still made Orion uncomfortable. To know his mother was married to the Dark One just wasn't something that he would ever expect. When they reached the shop Orion recognised it from when he went to confront Rumple when he first arrived in the town. He turned to Emma, "I wouldn't let your boy anywhere near him. He can't be trusted."

Emma was surprised at how easily he had accepted the fact that he had a nephew. And a half brother. And a whole new family entirely. "You must have seen some crazy stuff to be so accepting of all this. I definitely didn't take it this well." Emma gave him a once over, noticing the height difference also. "You'll grow into em'" She smirked as she led the way back out the door. "Henry is probably with his grandfather." She realized that was pretty vague. "The one that's....my...dad." Still felt weird calling him that. She wanted to believe Henry was safe, with Regina...god help us, or David..or snow. She wouldn't accept any other reality.
Orion chuckled and tried to fold his clothes over so that they wouldn't cause him to trip over and fall. "Aye, I have." He said thinking back to some of his memories briefly. "When you grow up with things that are strange it is hard to find something that surprises you in that way." After trying to get his clothes to fit better Orion followed Emma out the back door. "This boy of yours, Henry, does he have any idea about what his grandfather is like? I mean the one from his fathers side."

Emma realized, of course he hadn't heard of Henry. "He's...well...he's my son. His father is your half-brother Neal." She raised her brows at Orion. "Really you're...you're doing this here? ok." She turned around as soon as it was apparent that he was getting undressed in the middle of the Sheriff's station. "I guess it doesn't really matter with all that chaos going on outside, but in our world we tend to like our privacy when taking our clothes off." This kid was definitely Hook's son after all. "As soon as you're decent, we need to go find my kid."
"Another relative? Well isn't this just the strangest turn of events. I take it this means we are all related?" Orion let out a little laugh when Emma raised her brows at him. He was used to changing in front of people and didn't think anything of it. When he was done he fastened the clothes as best he could to make them fit better, the original owner was taller than him. "I'm doe. Let's find my nephew."

"He never mentioned that he has a son.." Emma could see that he was clearly telling the truth, but she still couldn't believe it just yet. Not completely. "That guy and his many layers of secrets." Emma thought she knew the guy. "Wait...did you say Millah?" She put two and two together in her head. "That makes you...Neal's half brother." She practically cringed. "And Henry's Uncle." She sighed...glancing around the room. "I'll get you something to wear." She pushed off from the desk and begrudgingly went to the back of the building, rummaging through drawers. "Biggest disaster of a family tree in history." she muttered to herself. She found some khaki slacks and a button down shirt and brought them back out to Orion. "Here, these should work." She shoved them into his chest and went to sit at her desk.
"Who is Henry?" Orion asked curious that this Henry was somewhat significant to his family considering that they where related through Neal. "I used to think it was my father and me. It's quite strange finding out about new relatives." He looked down at the clothes suspiciously. They looked nothing like anything he would have wore in his land but took them anyway and got changed straight away. Even if they it was in front of Emma.
Aftershocks: Orion and Emma
"Hook has a kid?" Emma screwed up her face at the boy. "You're.....kidding..." She slumped against her desk, apparently forgetting about the dry clothes she had promised him completely. "Who....how...?" She shook her head, expression blank...trying to grasp the reality of it. "Yeah I know him all right, better than I'd like to admit. We've crossed paths several times...unfortunately."
"Aye lass, he does indeed." There was always surprise when Orion revealed who his father was. At first it was entertaining but then it just grew to annoying. "I take it the who is aimed at who my mother is. her name was Milah. You may know her other son, his name is Baelfire." Orion's clothes where sticking to him and becoming more uncomfortable as time went on. "About those dry clothes..."
Aftershocks: Orion and Emma
Emma was rolling her eyes at the young man in front of her, listening to the usual "tip toe around the truth" kind of introduction that was common with everyone she met. At least the ones that weren't "from around here." She nodded her head along as he spoke, realizing she wasn't going to get much out of him. Not yet anyway. Though, as soon as he said "Jones" her attention was his, undivided. "I knew it." Hook. This kid must be his brother or something. "Are you related to a Killian Jones, by any chance?" That's all she needed. Another pirate running around, making trouble for her while a freakin portal was smack in the middle of town...freaking everyone out.
Orion noticed the sudden intrest she had when he told the sheriff his name. It was a look that she shared with most people when he shared his last name because of how known his father was. "You knew it?" Orion laughed. "I do favor my fathers side rather my mothers I suppose." He took a char from one of the other desks, dragged it to the opposite side of the desk so that he could properly talk to the sheriff. "Aye. I am of his blood. His only son it seems. I take it you know my father?"
Aftershocks: Orion and Emma
"You said you were from the enchanted forest." Emma wasn't about to show him all of her cards, she didn't even know him. "Look....I know you're lying, it doesn't really matter how I know...does it?" Telling a stranger she had a "special ability" was going to sound crazy coming out of her mouth...it didn't matter to Emma that they had just ducked inside from a big blue portal and clearly this person wasn't shocked by it. Now who was it that he reminded her of...she couldn't quite place it yet subconsciously. "What's your name?" She narrowed her gaze at him, her suspicion growing.
"I am from the Enchanted Forest. I was born and raised there for a moment of my life. Another part of my life was in another land but we needn't go into that." Orion said flashing a smile at Emma. The boy didn't want to divludge everything about himself to the sheriff. He hadn't seen her in either of the lands he had spent time in before this one so assumed that she knew nothing or very little about the people in his birth land. "Jones. Orion Jones. What is yours, sheriff?"
Aftershocks: Orion and Emma
Emma watched him closely. First of all, she had never seen him before..and Storybrooke was a small town. "That's a pretty good guess.." Emma glanced around at the chaos around her. She still wasn't sure how to get all these people to calm down. Looking back at the boy, she realized that there was something familiar about him. Something..she couldn't quite place...but his eyes told stories. Stories of the sea, and worlds she'd never seen. "Let's get out of the way of this stampede..." The blue void didn't seem like it was going anywhere, and standing around staring at it wasn't going to help. Emma turned and began walking towards the Sheriff's station. "You can borrow some of my partner's clothes. We always keep spares around in cases of emergency." She led him inside, keeping the door unlocked in anticipation of the townspeople coming to her for help. Emma leaned up against her desk and looked him over. "How about you tell me why you lied to me, and then I'll get you something dry to put on." She raised her eyebrows.
The sheriff's close gaze made Orion uncomfortable, whenever someone looked at him like that he knew that it meant they suspected him of something. As far as he knew there was nothing to suspect him of. Regardless he followed Emma to the station and waited for her to fetch him some dry clothes. He watched slightly confused as she just simply sat down at her desk. "I didn't lie to you," he said leaning against the wall, "what is that you assume I lied about, mate?" Even though he was shivering from the cold and water he tried not to let it show.
Aftershocks: Orion and Emma
Emma tried to calm everyone down. "Running around like this isn't going to help!" She called to the aimless and frantic townspeople. "Stop...just...let me...try and..." Emma shrugged, giving up. She didn't have any idea what the giant blue thing was. If she had to guess, she'd bet it was a portal...but you don't just go blindly jumping into portals, hoping for the best. She'd seen enough bad things happen with these things to know better. It made her nervous that she hadn't seen Graham anywhere in all this mess, or her son..or Regina for that matter. The morbid thoughts were already starting to creep into her mind. If it weren't for the voice calling to her and grounding her back in reality she could have really done some emotional damage to herself. Through the crowd she could see that it was a young man, dark hair with striking blue eyes. Weird, she didn't recognize him. "I wish I knew" She yelled back at him, weaving through the mob to get to him faster. "You're soaking wet, what happened?" She stared into his face "Where did you come from?" People didn't just....appear...in storybrook...
Orion moved in time with Emma to get closer to her so that he wouldn't have to shout or be too strained to hear her. "I'm guessing the big hole in the ground has something to do with all the panic." He looked to the hole and wondered if his father had fallen into it but his attention was bought back to the blonde sheriff when she asked him about what happened and where he came from. "Aye, I am," he said shaking his sleeve behind him as if he would suddenly become dry, "I fell into the water when the ground shook...I couldn't see anyone around so I came here." Orion thought about where to say he was from. Neverland was his first thought because he had spent hundred of years there so it was his home but Neverland came with suspicion and it was not a well thought of place. "The Enchanted Forest," he replied keeping his gaze at the sheriff. It wasn't a lie since he was born in there. "I'm Orion. I take it you are the sheriff by your badge?"
