"Right," Henry brushed off. "It's not like those will happen anyway. If they did, we'd be screwed."

Emma's eyes widened. "Henry!" she scolded while Indiana snorted and gave the kid a high-five.

While the entirety of Storybrooke had set their hearts on discovering where the malicious witch, Cora had run off to, Indiana Jones would be found in the forest. She had chosen to brush up on her dagger-throwing ability, considering she felt as though she had lost her touch. This was ironic because even after not using a whip or knife for 30 years, Indiana Jones could still easily take out a group of soldiers.

The brunette's wrist cranked backward as she gripped onto the hilt of the sharp-ended weapon. She narrowed her eyes at her target, which was a shiny, red apple. Flashbacks of her training in Neverland played in the back of her mind, but it wasn't enough for her to break down crying because she felt so bittersweet about the island.

Sharply, Indiana Jones flicked her wrist and allowed the dagger to slice through the air until it landed in the center of the apple. The force that was used was so strong that it slice straight through the core before getting stuck up against a lone log.

Indiana was having a hard time trying to realize what she missed more: the Enchanted Forest, Storybrooke during the curse, Neverland, or simply life before Aunt Lucy passed away. She had come to many conclusions since the curse had been broken, but the one that had been bothering her the most was the idea of Anna James – her Storybrooke counterpart.

See, back in the Enchanted Forest before she met Peter Pan, Indiana Jones was a child. She never cursed, always sticking to her comical and sassy roots. She was always very obsessive. Then, when Indiana left Neverland, she became the exact opposite. Indiana swore all the time, using a lot of dry humor with the exception of her outspokenness and sarcasm. She became ruthless and vengeful, not to mention cold-blooded. But she blamed that personality change on the forgetting potion and learning the truth about what she'd been looking for all her life.

Then the Evil Queen cast a curse that ripped the majority of the civilians living in the Enchanted Forest and dropped them into Storybrooke, giving them brand new counterparts. Each person's counterpart had something to do with their identity in their original realm. For example, Granny owned her own Diner because she had a knack for cooking.

However, everyone had a similar counterpart to their real personality, except Indiana Jones. Anna James was very quirky and awkward. She was kind and polite, but still naïve. She apologized over anything that could have even been interpreted as rude.

This was how Indiana came to the conclusion that Anna James was the version of Indiana that should have been born. "Anna" was who Indiana was supposed to be the version of Indiana that would have been created if she had never been abandoned as a child. Think about it, Indiana had heard plenty of stories of Killian's life as a child. He was an angel. But then his father abandoned him, and his life turned upside down.

The whole idea of it was bothersome to Indiana. It made her think about what life would have been like if she never lived with Aunt Lucy, if she had always stuck with her big brothers and father.

It made her think about what life would be like if she were good, rather than bad.

This was how Indiana found herself daydreaming about what would have been for the next few hours.

Until her phone suddenly began to blare in her ears.

It was a message from Snow White that was a bit discrete. All it said was: GIANT ON THE LOOSE. That was enough to make the brunette go running into the town.
