Summary: Killian Jones returns from his canon update. The "Captain Hook" name no longer quite applies.
The Story:

[Killian's in Wonderland again, though he has two hands now, and his clothes no longer look so outlandishly piratey. He's finally gone native in... well, his leather jacket's shorter. That's really the main difference.

This isn't where he's supposed to be, though it wasn't the first few times either. All he can think is that he's so glad he remembers it. He knows that will make Emma happy. Thinking of her lightens his heart for a moment and he strides towards the mansion, ready to find her, to ensure her he hasn't left her, not really, that he's still here and will be with her forever and never hurt her.

He reaches forward with his left hand to open the door, then... pauses.

Can he be certain he'll never hurt her? He knows most of his body wouldn't, but that hand of his... it hasn't been acting right ever since he got it back. He closes his fist and slowly lowers his hand.

No. He'll figure this out. But he can't seek her out yet. Not until he does. He takes a step back, looking up towards the floor where her room is.]

I'll come for you soon, Emma. I swear it.

You know that plan’s really stupid, right? [Because seriously Hook? Have you thought this through at all?] How are you not going to tell her what happened? The second she hears my dad was involved, she’s going to know there’s a catch. And if you don’t tell her, she’s going to go digging until she finds out.

[Hook should know as much about Emma. She doesn’t let go of anything easily, especially not when it comes to people she cares about.]

If she asks, I'll tell her. [lol or he'll just distract her with flirting. He never claimed he was good at this good guy stuff.] But it may not become an issue. I don't... I don't want her to think less of me.

[Good thing. Being a pirate with an evil hand is one thing, but a lying pirate with an evil hand? Unforgivable.]

What, because you got a past? We've all got pasts. I mean, hell. She and I met when she tried to steal the car I'd stolen first.

So long as you're trying to do right now, that's what matters.

I'm trying. I just... don't want to mess it up. And that means fixing things before she has to help me.

[belovedson]

Actually it means taking care of each other--but I get it. You don't want her to remember how much of a dick you used to be.

[Well you were, Hook.]

Just let me know if I can help, yeah?

[unhand]

That's what I'm doing. Taking care of her. [She's the Savior. She has enough to worry about without adding his foolish choices to the list.] I will. Thanks, mate.
