As you arrive near TinkerBell's hideout you hear angry voices. "Where is this bloody fairy?!" You frown when you recognise it as Hook. Pulling out a small pouch of Poppy Dust you silently creep closer and closer, only to see Charming, Snow, Regina, Emma and Hook poking around the base of TinkerBell's treehouse. Throwing the dust towards them you spell the air to carry the dust into each of their faces, knowing that they would be extra eager to find Henry when they woke.

"Y/n?" You turn around to find TinkerBell, looking tired and angry, and without her wings. "Tink? What happened to you?" At first you and TinkerBell had had a strained relationship, but over time you had helped her out and vice versa creating a cautious alliance.

"What have you come here for?" You frown. "Why are The Saviour and her golden bitches here?" Tink walks closer and stares into your face. "They have come for my help to get them off the island." You cross your arms, "And you said....?" You harden your tone. "I said No. I want to get off here but I can't- not when Pan would kill me for the betrayal to the island." You nod your head.

"True. So I'm offering you a deal- magically binding of course." Her face perks up and eyes you. "Yeah?" You stroll around the base of her tree. "You answer one question of mine truthfully, I give you your wings." She thinks. "But I won't be able to fly away! My last vial of pixi dust is dead!" You smirk. "Then I'll make it work again." Tink's face betrays her and you see she wants to take your deal- badly. "But there is a catch of course.." the hope falls from her face. "Whenever I am in need of your services, you must carry them out exactly as I say, they will not come through often, and you cannot tell anyone about the deal unless I give you explicit permission." You stop in front of her again as you finish circling the clearing. "So- do we have a deal?"

You hold out your hand, and  after a few beats she takes it. Green threads of magic twine around your linked hands before fading, marking the deal as magically binding. "Glad that's settled then. Now answer my question and I shall give you your wings." She let's go of your hand and nods. "My question is: who is my fated soulmate?" TinkerBell frowns and pulls out her vial of pixi dust. "If you make it glow I will blow some into your eyes- then when the time is right you will see your soulmate." You hum but take the dust anyway.

After only a few seconds in your hand the vial glows iridescently. You hand it back to Tink, who pours the smallest mound into her palm before gently blowing it into your face. You blink as your vision blurs. "Tink- i can't see properly!" You see her blurred face smirk. "One of the side affects- sorry." You growl and continue to blink furiously. "Maybe I will make you to do something bad tonight Tink." That stops her chuckles, and you grin evilly. "Now for your wings- but I command this. Once I enact the spell step into the moonlight on the highest peak tonight and they will blossom stronger than ever from your back. Throw the durst over your left shoulder using your right hand and you shall be able to fly off the island. Before then however, when The Saviour wakes, you must urge them to find Henry and myself, tell them what they need to fear Pan. Don't tell them or help them to leave the island. Clear?" You see the blurred outline of Tink's unhappy face. "Clear." It comes out strained and you mock bow. "Pleasure as always Tink." 

Flashing away you arrive at Pan's camp, the sun showing it to be noon. You see a blurry Felix talking to Pan and you walk over, trying not to trip over anything.
