The Cube was a total wreck. I really wanted us to take the Nissan Xterra (or as Elle called it the SEXterra, based on several of the more pleasurable adventures we had in it) because it was sturdier. But Claire said that my Cube was more thrifty, and with gas about $4 a gallon, I could understand.

Claire, Elle and I were on sabbatical from tending to the "family business." Claire and Elle had finally gotten married two years ago. I'm kinda the third, though I know I am an equal partner in all this, with legal papers to prove it. We made the decision to take some time off from the business. Our partner in that , the amazing Karen Roth, made sure everything was taken care of, and so we went on our merry way.

Claire's bio-dad knew of a great fishing spot in Maine. Neither of us were into fishing, but the place was secluded, so no one could hear any errant noises. And the three of us can get loud on occasion.

So it was dark, Claire was driving, and Elle and I were fooling around..

"Gretchen Berg, I swear you are the horniest woman I've ever met!" Claire complained while trying to drive.

"Are we complaining, baby?," I replied.

"No Gretch, but it would be nice if the two saved some until we get to the cabin, ok?"

"You, cheerleader, are a party pooper!" It's been eight years since Claire wore a cheerleader outfit for any reason (ok, 6 months ago...but it was Vegas, and she was wearing nothing underneath...), But Elle still love to call her that. And Claire still loved hearing it.

But all that lightheartedness stopped when a wolf suddenly appeared on that lonely stretch of road. Claire swerved and missed the wolf. She didn't miss the sign she hit, or the tree that stopped us.

It was not long before we heard sirens, I tried to get up but Claire stopped that. "Stay down, Gretch! We don't need anyone asking any questions until we need to." I stayed down. There was a cut on my wrist, but it was going away. I noticed the bruises on Elle were also healing, albeit with the usual visual effects.

Soon there was one squad car, but the people in the car was calling for an ambulance. Two women came out...both rather attractive. The one in the uniform was tall, fit, blonde. The other was brunette, darker, even more striking in her purple business suit.

The women pulled us out and propped us against a tree. They rummaged through our purses and got our ID's

"California licences...let's see...Claire Bennet...Ellen Bishop...Gretchen Berg.." said the blonde.

"What are they doing here?" inquired the brunette. Both were whispering, but I could hear what they were saying perfectly. Play along, and we all might get out of here alive. The two women knelt down to where I sat and they smiled.

Those smiles could power Pittsburgh almost as well as...well, one of the women I sat next to.

"Well," said the blonde in the uniform, "you did a n umber on our town sign there?

I asked the usual question, where were we?

The brunette responded: "Well, I am the mayor here...my name is Regina Mills...and this is my wi...ummm...Sheriff, Emma Swan. Welcome to Storybrooke, dear..."

So...we have SwanQueen from OUAT and eClaireGretch from Heroes. I wanted to start this crossover for a long time, and I hope you are intrigued to want more. Comments and likes are very welcome. but I also need feedback in terms of how I should continue this...

And of course, all OUAT characters are property of Kitsis/Horowitz/ABC Studios/Disney, and all Heroes characters property of Tailwind Productions/Universal Television/NBCUniversal

In addition, some characters and situations inspired by the eClaire writings of erimthar and Alex Foster. Check them out, why don't 'cha?

Additional (4.21.17): The reason is called a "remix" is because after four years I think I finally found a way to move thing along. And I wanted to get come of my friends invoved into this too (Zelena, Ingrid, the Frozen twins, the QoDs, etcetera)

So as you read along, the timeline is closer to to current, and we do have a split Regina (though the EQ is not as E as she used to be), no Dark Queen. And someone lied about that "Land With No Magic."

So let me know if you like this new story.
