So here's is a little one-shot which for some reason wouldn't leave me alone even when I was doing revision and exams-it ate away at me until I wrote nearly 5k based on an OC.
I love Outlaw Queen as a ship-I love anything to do with the Evil Queen really Lana Parrilla plays her so convincingly that even when she's being her most evil you still want her to win-or I do...I really hope that once the Zelena/Robin baby is born Regina will step in as mother and we get to see more of her soft side. And-if something tragic was to happen to Zelena...
This is in the entire Point of View of an OC Allison Mills Hood-in my head she is the biological daughter of Robin and Zelena but Zelena was locked inside some magical box (kinda like Pan was) and when she was accidently released she kidnapped Robin and Regina, and then this was born...
This entire thing is AU, involves kickass Henry and Roland being great big brothers, Zelena getting what she deserves and lots of Outlaw Queen fluff and Momma Regina.
The only other OC written about here is Lasey Gold daughter of Belle and Rumple, because who couldn't see the Dark One's daughter and the Evil Queen's daughter being best friends?
I hope to post more Outlaw Queen-if you have a request for a one-shot then send it in, other pairings I write for are-
-Snow White/Prince Charming
-Emma Swan/Killian Jones
-Belle French/Mr Gold/Rumplestilskin
-Ruby Lucas/Victor Whale
And if your a fan of Once Upon A Time In Wonderland
-Will Scarlett/Anastasia
-Cyrus/Alice
Please let me know what you think of this one shot.
In my mind the look a like for Allison is Crystal Reed-she kinda looks like Robin Hood a little bit and the character she played in Teen Wolf was named Allison and was an archer.
Please read and review
Disclaimer-Nothing is mine just Allison Mills-Hood and Lasey Gold
Regal Under Pressure-
Allison somehow always thought that she would be better at this.
When Robin and Regina are kidnapped by a revenge fuelled Zelena it is up to their daughter (Zelena's biological daughter) Allison to come and rescue them, includes Zelena again getting what she deserves, Kickass Henry and Roland and loads of Outlaw Queen family fluff.
Allison finds them first. Uncle Will owes her fifty bucks.
She'd be a lot smugger about this but right now she's more preoccupied with the whole 'trying not to break one of her legs' thing that she's got now.
Besides she's gonna catch hell when her parents find out she's doing this-hopefully she'll catch the lecture from the both of them. The real good ones come from the both of them.
She winces as she drops from the small hole out the wall, her boots drop into a puddle creating a devastatingly loud splash in the echoing silence. She swears roughly as her ankle goes over and not for the first time she wonders why the hell she decided to wear her black high heeled leather lace up boots that cost her nearly two years of allowance.
Oh yeah, some Witch kidnapped her parent and Allison wasn't sure if there was a dress code for that. She should put together a plan just in-case.
"Dad?" she whispers wincing as she feels something in her ankle click in a way she isn't sure is normal. She winces again as she realises that her magic, something ingrained in her since birth doesn't seem to work down here and she shivers feeling stunningly naked for the first time in a long time.
She doesn't feel safe without her magic-she doesn't feel like her.
She shakes her father again wincing at the stickiness clumping at his temple, he's alive she's already confirmed with shaking hands and she has to pause to breathe again before she checks. Allison can't hear anyone and she's not entirely sure how much noise she's made but so far so good…
She ought to go up to the surface and report to whomever she can find but she knows Roland and Henry will want to hear something other than "I think they might be alive" and the Charming's will want a report and Allison will be damned if she doesn't give them one.
"Allison" comes the reply slightly to her left and Allison whirls around to see another figure straining in the darkness. She staggers forwards wincing again as a breath of cold air makes her shake slightly. She's wearing her dark jeans that clinch around her waist and her black jumper with lace at the hem, winter clothes but even then it makes her shiver. She realises that both her parents are in their bare shirts jackets removed and she grinds her teeth together.
"Allison" comes her Mom's voice crisp and clear in the darkness and Allison near as damn it sobs as she trips her way in the darkness into her mother's lap.
"Mom"
It comes out a broken syllable and Allison smiles as she smells that comforting smell her Mom always has, suddenly she feels like the scared little girl who used to crawl into bed with her parents whenever she had a nightmare. Back then it was her Mom who would wake up and wrap her arms around her letting her cuddle into her lap rocking her back and forth. Allison wishes she would do that now.
Her Mom, Regina makes a choking sound and Allison shudders slightly unsure of what to do still crouching there awkwardly. She knows from the fact that her father is unconscious and the fact that her mother is unable to use her magic…the fact that the Evil Queen is unable to use her magic makes her shiver with something nameless that she knows isn't cold.
She reaches to pull her Mom back from the wall only to realise that she's bound with chains behind her back her whole body taunt. Allison cannot help the wounded sound that escapes her throat.
She collapses forwards then unable to stop herself curling two arms around her Mom's chest and burying her face into the crook of her neck. Her Mom moves her head so that her chin's resting on top of her black curls and Allison sniffs again feeling impossibly young and hating herself.
Her parents shouldn't be comforting her.
"It's Ok Ally" her Mom says her voice comforting and soothing and Allison squeezes her eyes shut again. "It's ok, you found us, God knows how you did it but you did"
Allison wants to scream, she didn't find them due to planning-she found them due to sheer luck. Henry and Roland had ripped the town and the forest apart over the last day and a half and it had only been Allison who knew about the underground tunnels under Storybrooke simply because she and Lasey Gold had stumbled across them when they had been drunk running through the mines having a drunken fireball throwing competition.
It wasn't the smartest idea but still…
She is so not cut out for all this hero shit…
"Allison…Allison" it's her Mom again and Allison strains to pay attention in the darkness, her Mom's voice has that tone that she uses whenever Roland or Henry do something stupid which for a man of nearly thirty and a man nearing twenty one happens quite a lot. Allison's only sixteen and that tone of voice makes her want to cry all over again.
She sniffs forcing her hands into her jeans pocket to hide the shaking.
"Come on sweetheart you've done brilliantly…but I need you to go now"
Her head snaps up at that black layers falling into her face, she brushes them back irritably. She is Allison Mills-Hood, she is the daughter of the Evil Queen and Robin Hood, she won't leave the two of them here to run off and hide…she can't… she won't…
It might be the last time she sees the two of them again…
"Allison listen to me" her Mom says her tone hard as if she knows what Allison is thinking, "I need you to go and get help"
"Dad" she chokes out when her leg brushes against her father's and her Mom shakes her head.
"He's fine Ally" she says firmly "He's fine, she…he got knocked out…" she sighs again leaning back against the walls closing her eyes "It was stupid" she says tiredly "I didn't see it coming…stupid"
"Whose she?" Allison asks though she has a sinking feeling she knows who her Mom is referring to.
"Nobody" her Mom snaps her tone a clear reminder of why she's still known as the Evil Queen.
"Go back and get help, get Roland, Henry, the Merry Men, even the God Damn Charming clan but go and get help now…"
"Mom…"
"Allison Malia go now!"
Allison grits her teeth against the urge to argue when a voice cuts out in front of them, a beautiful voice that instantly sooths her.
"Ally listen to your mother"
"Dad"
"Robin?"
"Hey Princess" Robin shifts slightly coming into focus and Allison bites her lip as she takes in the blood seeping from his temple. Her Dad takes her over with his eyes before grinning before switching to her Mom. "Are you ok?" he asks shifting against his chains.
"I didn't see it" her Mom confesses and Allison sniffs again at the small voice and the sliver of defeat slipping into her voice. This is her Mom for Christ's sake, she shouldn't sound like this.
"Don't" her Dad says flatly his tone harsh and it reminds Allison of that nightmare a few years back when Roland had been in a car accident. That voice that makes her shiver again, it reminds her of a man desperately trying to control his rage.
Her Dad moves then, he shifts slightly straining his arms and Allison watches as her Mom leans her head against his shoulder and her Dad moves his chin so it's nuzzling her hair. Her Mom closes her eyes.
Such is the situation that there in Allison cannot even find the strength to bitch about how soppy they are.
Lasey would be appalled.
"You found us Princess" her Dad says smiling fondly and her Mom nods. Allison swallows again at the pride in their faces and she wants to curl up next to him, between them and let them lull her to sleep.
She opens her mouth to tell the both of them is she was half as good as they seem to think that she is she would have found them a hell of a lot sooner but before she can there's a sound behind her. It's the sound Allison knows intimately as high heeled boots scraping across rough stone.
Shit.
She turns around, both her parents are sitting up now, fear bleeding into their expression, their bodies tense and taught against the wall.
Allison will be damned if she leaves them like this.
"Allison" her Dad says his voice breaking slightly when he reaches the second syllable, "Go…now"
The footsteps get closer and closer and her Mom lets out a frustrated little gasp "Go now Allison…now" she twists slightly trying to wrench her arm free and it looks like she's attempting to pull it out of its socket.
She looks up her dark eyes wide with something Allison realises is fear…in the last sixteen years Allison can count on one hand the amount of times that her mother has looked at her like that. "Now"
Allison resists literally until that last comment. She stands up on shaky legs before dropping down again.
"Princess please" her Dad begs, he looks like he's a good five seconds away from breaking his arm and forcing her through the hole in the wall. "Before…"
She wraps two arms around him and squeezes praying it's not the last time she'll ever get to do that and her Dad chokes out a little groan pressing a kiss into her hair like he does when he gets home from work, she repeats the hug with her Mom who manages a small smile and then she moves past them hoisting herself up into the small pipe.
It's difficult, she's has to turn herself around in a small enclosed space to reach for the iron grate. She catches her Mom's eyes again and then moves back into the shadows. She can tell by the look on both her parents faces that they think that she's gone. She can tell by the way their relaxing only slightly.
She doesn't leave however because at that moment the door slams open and the light spills onto the woman in the doorway. She has long red hair swept up onto her head, green eyes and a smirk that rivals even Allison really wishes she could slap off.
She knows who this is. This is Zelena. This is the woman who killed Henry's biological father, this is the woman who terrorised and tormented the town for months and nearly turned Neal into time-portal soup.
This is also Allison's biological mother.
She's known for years, a blood drive requested after another threatening curse proving that she was neither compatible with either of her parents. It was easy to do a DNA test after that. Even easier for her and Lasey to test a truth spell on one of the Dwarfs.
It hadn't been easy. It had taken a lot of vodka and a lot of time searching these very tunnels at night to come to terms with it. She had watched her parents like a hawk for months afterwards wondering if she should say anything about the woman trapped in the mirror that was trapped underground.
She watched as her Mom tilted her head to the side (and even from a distance Allison could tell she had adopted the smirk that she pulled out for situations like this one.
"God you look hideous" was all she said before Zelena reared back her hand striking directly across her Mom's face making her head snap to the side. Allison physically has to clamp her hands over her mouth in order to stop the whimper escaping.
Her father growls slightly "I swear you green bitch I will break every bone in your body for every bruise you leave on hers"
Allison swallows feeling her way back blindly. Her parents are the Evil Queen and Robin Hood-they have survived a lot worse than this.
It's not much but it's a hell of a motivation.
She's borderline…hell she is hysterical when she eventually staggers upright into the bright light that is Storybrooke, she doesn't have to ask for a mirror to know that she's a mess, her jeans and jumper are torn, her face is covered in dirt and her hairs a mess.
The hysteria doesn't help either.
It's Uncle David that finds her shaking down the street and he takes one look at her before sweeping his jacket around her shoulders and directing her into Granny's. Suddenly she has Roland on one side and Henry on the other and she's still shouting odd bits of information nobody can understand and for some reason she feels as guilty as sin.
She's forced what she thinks is Uncle Killian's rum and she forces it down wincing at the taste but it does seem to make her more coherent. "I know where they are" she says finally her teeth chattering.
"Yeah we got that" Uncle Will says leaning against the door and handling a rather wicked looking sword. Roland nods slinging his arm around her shoulders "Take it away kid" he says calmly nobody but Allison or Henry picking up on the tension between his shoulders.
She tells them what she knows silently her hands still shaking. Henry covers one with his own reaching behind him for some long and evil looking sniper rifle a glint in his eye when she mentions Zelena.
"Can they walk out do you think?" Aunt Emma asks.
In unison Roland, Allison and Henry look up at her. The thought that the Evil Queen would need help being carried out of anywhere is ludicrous to them. To the three of them the mother they had all shared at some point seems utterly invincible.
Allison just hopes that she stays that way.
"Swan" Uncle Killian says at the corner of the table "I'm sure the Evil Queen is still being as regal as ever" it's meant to lighten the mood and to some extent it does but everyone is tightly strung up on different emotions.
Allison wants to fight the post-adrenaline exhaustion that she feels creeping on but her head is leaning against Henry's shoulder. When she falls asleep the discussion has turned to trying to re-trap Zelena.
When she dreams she dreams of green skin and ripping people's hearts out and being like…Zelena…and there's the hard truth that maybe not only will she end up like Zelena but her family might not want her when truth hits the fan.
It's been three hours since she left them and once again Allison is stood at the dark fork in the tunnel. She's supposed to lead the way and then Uncle David, Henry and Roland are going to follow her as soon as she's confirmed that her parents are indeed in fact…alive.
It takes longer this time, exhaustion, adrenaline and a bone-deep insecurity that seems to have sprung up out of nowhere making her go slower, stumbling occasionally. And then she finds equal footing, finds the tunnel and grins.
"Got it" she mutters into the earpiece she's hooked up with.
"Confirm their there and then were right behind you" Uncle David says soothingly down the other line.
She drops down wincing again as she lands in the same puddle as before.
"Allison" comes the hiss from behind her and she turns around to see her father watching her with wide eyes.
"Wha?" comes the mumble next to him and her Dad shifts slightly wincing as her Mom comes into view. "Ally's back" he says grimly.
"Ally" he says turning slightly and Allison has to fight down the wave of nausea coupled with the desire to…kill.
Whoever has done this is dead.
Her Dad looks like he's had the shit beaten out of him, but her Mom…her Mom is covered in little bruises and cuts, blood dripping steadily from a gaping wound in her temple staining her hair and dripping down the side of her face.
"Get here now" she hisses to Uncle David before disconnecting the damn thing and sliding forwards until she's kneeling in front of them.
"Fuck" she chokes out shivering slightly.
"Hey" her Mom admonishes softly though there's no bite to the words. "We are going to have a long talk about what not coming back here means, later…for now I'm cold and you're a mini furnace like your father so get over here"
Allison scoots over so she's leaning her head on her Mom's shoulder, her Dad moves as far as his chains will allow him creating a little barrier for the two of them and Allison is quite content to let her eyes fall shut and fall asleep again.
And that is naturally when it all falls to complete shit.
The door slams open at that point and Allison can tell from the slight noise her Mom makes that this isn't Uncle David and the rest of them. She knows who this is.
Her hands shake with something that she knows isn't fear, its building and building and building and she feels like she's going to explode, she stands up turning around to face her ignoring the way her Dad shifts slightly as if to stop her.
"You" is all she has to say and Zelena's eyes widen with glee when she realises who she is.
"Me" she says smiling and Allison is stunned into silence when she realises that the woman that has tortured her parents, has somehow deluded herself into thinking that this is going to be a mother-daughter reunion to end all mother-daughter reunions and Allison really, really wants to smack that smug grin off this woman's face.
"Do you know who I am?" she asks taking another step closer and out of the corner of her eye Allison can see Henry lining up a shot. She wants to shake her head because if anyone is going to get this bitch then it's her.
"You're the woman who gave birth to me" she says without any emotion (it's the tone she's copied from her mother when Aunt Emma has done something stupid but she cannot get the soft tone of derision right)
And if she gets a sliver of satisfaction at the way the room seems to go very still, the way that Zelena's smirk seems to drop off her face and the way she can feel without looking what this admission has done to her parents.
She steps closer her fingernails itching with the need to do something, she's face to face with the woman who for nine months was keeping her alive and suddenly it feels like every vein in her body has been doused in gasoline and lit on fire.
"Thank you" she says pulling herself taller and she's rewarded with a look of confusion.
"For?" Zelena asks her hand coming forwards to toy with a loose curl and Allison carefully refuses to shudder even as her father snarls loudly and she can hear Roland and Henry's heavy breathing from where they're both positioned, it's like everyone is under a spell.
Allison curls her lips into the worst smirk imaginable.
"Being a monumental disappointment" she says loudly so that everyone can hear it.
"Keeps the memory of my real mother perfectly intact"
There's a second of perfect silence as Zelena's face twists into snarl, but Allison is ready.
She's so angry she cannot even speak.
She just brings her hand forward and slams it straight through Zelena's chest. She can feel her fingers clench around Zelena's heart the muscle pumping in her fingers and she feels the undeniable urge to kill.
She's so preoccupied with the need to turn the heart in her hand to dust that she doesn't hear the door bang open and Henry jumping down his gun smacking into one of the minions, Roland's there trying to undo the chains, Uncle David hauling her Mom to her feet and then suddenly someone's arms are around her pulling her back.
"Ally" her Mom says gently in her ear brushing her hair back as Zelena gasps through her teeth "Let go sweetheart"
It's the gentle tone that makes her let go as suddenly the mixture of adrenaline, exhaustion, anger and fear floods back into her system with such a force that she stumbles backwards straight into her mother's arms.
She turns around burying her face into her Mom's chest, as her Dad's arms curl around her keeping the two of them locked together and she knows…standing.
And then Henry's there and Roland hugging their parents, helping them each step of the way out of the room and the tunnels. Her Mom's limping badly but she's still got that same powerful commanding presence that she always does.
They get back to the house, the Mayor's house in silence. Well. If you count Roland and Henry whooping at the joy of recapturing Zelena finally sinks in. Once they get home and Doctor Whale looks over both of her parents and Allison finally gets changed into her old ratty checked pyjama's and her Mom and Dad are wrapped up on the couch with Uncle Killian's emergency supply of rum and everyone has left, Uncle Will on his way slips her fifty bucks.
"I owe you kid" he says before grinning wickedly at the spluttering sound her Mom makes before escaping out the door.
"What did I tell you about gambling with the Merry Men?" her Mom asks one eyebrow raised and Allison shrugs hoping she might just escape this one by playing cute.
"That if I play it right it might help us pay for college?"
Roland snorts into his third beer and even her father cracks a grin looking completely unrepentant, and even her Mom looks down at her lap to hide her grin.
"You ok?" Henry asks apparently deciding to take the leap and address the elephant in the room.
"Speaking of which" her Dad says moving off the couch to sit next to her on the floor, "I suppose we have to have another talk about disobeying us in the face of danger" he pauses bringing up a hand to stroke it down the length of her hair.
"You had us so worried Princess" he confesses and Allison's eyes burned with tears at the sound of his voice breaking halfway through her nickname.
Perhaps her stunt with Zelena perhaps hadn't been the most sensible plan.
"I'm sorry" she confesses shaking her head "I don't regret it though, I just wanted to find you and then nobody but me knew the way there and then I was just so…angry…"
"There are a lot of things we need to talk about" her Mom says soothingly "Namely how you came to know what you know, how you knew about the underground tunnels, and more, but we will have the conversation tomorrow, when I think we can all hold a coherent, civilised discussion".
She directs this at Henry and Roland who are have just opened a bottle of tequila and look disturbing unrepentant.
"Can I?" she asks pointing to the shot glasses and she rolls her eyes when the only thing she hears back is a vehement 'No' from both her parents.
Honestly do they think she was born yesterday? Did they think that she and Lasey simply painted each other's nails when they got together? She is the daughter of the Evil Queen and her best friend is the Dark One's daughter, did they really think that she is a stranger to alcohol?
But that's a story for another day.
She mutters something about ice cream slipping into the kitchen her hands shaking again. She feels sick to her stomach again. She had wanted to kill Zelena, she had wanted to rip her heart out and turn it into dust in her hands and that had scared her shitless.
"You ok?" her Dad asks from where he's watching her from the doorway. She turns around shaking slightly her whole body a taunt line. And then suddenly everything seems to rush out of her "I wanted to kill her" she confessed "I had that heart in my hands and I wanted to crush the fucking thing"
Her Dad frowns maybe at the language or the confession she isn't sure but he frowns all the same. "I'm gonna be just like her" Allison confesses feeling small and stupidly inconsequential. "I'm going to be evil, I can feel it" she bits her lip then feeling the sting of tears forming and feeling utterly helpless, completely powerless.
She hates that feeling more than anything.
Her Dad pauses a second before wrapping her in his arms securing her against him like he did when she was little.
"Listen to me" he says carefully into her hair even as she sniffs slightly "You are nothing like her, Zelena…the only good thing that came out of being tricked by her was you, and when you were born I looked at you and I knew you would never be like her"
He pulls back then to pull her head up so her eyes meet his. Both sets, her and his are wet.
"You are an amazingly good person Allison, what you did today wasn't evil, you stopped something Zelena would have never have been capable off. You are so brave Princess and I know grown powerful people who would have never have been able to do what you would have done today, you are not evil, and you will never be like her I promise you"
The sincerity in his voice makes her feel like a little kid all over again and she sobs again against his chest.
"Lord Ally you scared me so bad today" her Dad whispers into her hair again "I thought she was…" he swallows against her head, "Just promise me you will never put yourself in danger like that again"
Allison grins shaking back her head. "No can do Dad" she says feeling more like her own self again. Robin groans grinning "Between you and your brothers I will be lucky to make fifty you know?" he says and Allison nods grinning letting him tuck her into his side.
"I know Dad, I know"
It's some time later when she wakes up. Henry and Roland are in the beds they have in the house when they can be bothered to sleep over, Allison's been sat on her big double bed, the light pastel pink and grey quilt digging into her legs when she suddenly needs to reaffirm something.
Maybe it's the bottle of tequila that Henry and Roland let her finish (and she knows from bitter experience either she or them will regret that in the morning), either way it has her padding down the stairs to the living room arms crossed across her chest.
Her Mom and Dad are curled up together on the couch and even now safe and sound in their home Allison still cannot mock them for the obvious sappiness.
"Mom?" she asks wincing at the roughness of her voice.
Her Mom turns around taking her head off her Dad's shoulder from where they've been sat in front of the fire.
"Ally?" she asks reverting back to the nickname that Allison has grown up with, and Allison is suddenly shaking again and she really wishes she could stop that.
"Are you still my Mom?" she demands forming her hands into fists to stop them shaking. She can't count the amount of times her hands have been shaking over the last day and a half and she really wishes it would stop.
"I mean" she elaborates when she realises that her Mom is looking at her funny, "Do you still wanna be my Mom? I meant what I said to Zelena but…I need to know that you still want me…"
She trails off feeling stupid and insecure but she was fourteen when she found out that Zelena was her mother (the word doesn't even connect with her) and she needs affirmation.
Because Regina Mills was Allison Malia Mills-Hoods mother regardless of whoever's legs she had been pushed out off. Crude but accurate.
This is the woman who held Allison when she had a nightmare, who talked her through the mechanics of sex and what it meant to be in love with someone, who helped her when she started her period and was too scared to tell anyone and who held her hair back the first time she was sick due to drinking (and just to clarify she wasn't to blame for that Neal and Lasey were) this is the woman who taught her everything she knew and this is the woman Allison looks up to more than anything…
This is her mother.
And this is the woman that Allison needs to know will catch her when she falls.
She barely gets the sentence out when two arms pull her into her embrace and Allison nearly sobs when she realises that her Mom is hugging her tightly like she never wants to let her go.
"Allison Malia" her Mom says finally her tears welling in her eyes, "I will never not want you, you are my daughter, I promise you that I will always love you, please never think that I will never love you like your my own."
It's enough to make the last day and a half worth of stress slip out of Allison's body and she goes literally boneless in her mother's arms.
She feels her Dad slip his arms around the both of them pulling them onto the couch like it's a regular day despite it being past midnight.
"My girls" he mutters softly more to himself than anything "My boys upstairs, my family"
It's enough for Allison to curl up onto her Dad's lap and let her Mom rock her to sleep like nothing ever changed. She wants this, right here and now, she wants this, her family, her Mom and her Dad and Roland and Henry and her friends Lasey, Neal and the rest of them. She wants this…
She wants her family.
And right here and now, cuddled and protected in her parents eyes feeling her parents rock her to sleep she feels protected.
Allison Mills-Hood feels loved.
And it's good.
So let me know what you all thought please
