[3rd POV]

“You expect us to…to buy books from this place? From some random lady that appeared out of who the hell knows where?” Emma asked with an incredulous expression. She had no idea who Wanda was, beyond the fact that she used magic, and was definitely not a normal person, not at all.

“Well yes, you are in a bookstore, you know. And I am not just some lady! I’m this places owner. If I was just some lady, I wouldn’t be standing here talking to you right now” Wanda replied with an amused expression, finding their worry to be funny.

“What sort of books do you sell?” Henry asked, as his mothers looked at him to stop him, but Wanda replied before they could.

“All sorts. Fiction, Non-Fiction, Comics, Manga, even books on magic. Magic beyond your universe, ones that can help in all sorts of situations, and ones that even Miss Swan there can learn with relative ease, even with her lack of magical knowledge” Wanda replied with a smile, as Emma looked a little surprised at this.

“I could learn magic?” Emma asked, while Regina looked at her with a frown on her face, realizing that she was growing interested in Wanda’s wares.

“Oh most certainly. You are the Saviour after all. You’d be particularly good at light magic, healing, and magic involving protection. While The Queen there would be excellent at curses, dark magic, and protection magic as well, with that overwhelming love she holds for your son” Wanda replied with a smile.

“I’m not going to harm the three of you, I swear. Certainly not like Rumpelstiltskin would have, I simply wish to sell my books to you, and perhaps some baked goods if you’re interesting” Wanda added, inwardly hoping that Regina would have some books to exchange to her, as she no doubt had all sorts of interesting spells that could prove useful to her, or others.

Speaking of others, Raven was currently upstairs, taking the day off as she decided to work on her spell control, and watch some of the shows that Wanda had in her tv, literally every show in her first life, besides the DC comics involved ones and the Marvel ones.

“…How do you know about all of us? How do you know about Rumple? About who my son is?” Regina asked with narrowed eyes, growing more and more distrustful of this unknown woman who was seemingly posing as a simple bookstore owner.

“I did say that existence is infinite, did I not? I am someone who can…travel through it, so to say. And with that traveling, comes the ability to learn about the stories of many many many others like yourselves. Quite interesting really, like how you once loved a stable boy, or how Emma over there was put into prison because of her ex running off” Wanda replied, their eyes widening in shock as she just openly dropped some of their biggest secrets that they keep very close to their hearts.

“Ah, I wouldn’t do that if I was you. I’d rather not fight you, as I quite admire you as a person” Wanda said, looking at Regina as she began to emanate her magical energy, as small as it was in comparison to someone like Raven’s. She could see its potential for growth though.

“You-you speak of such secrets in front of me, and expect me not to react?!” Regina snarled, as Emma looked just as angry, but it was more silent, as she narrowed her eyes at Wanda who sighed.

“Alright, alright, I can see that I went about that the wrong way. So I’m sorry, now, will you stop or will I have to make you stop? I’d much rather not have such incredible customers run off, and your son is barely hiding his interest in some of the books in my store” Wanda replied, as she began to grow a little annoyed with this interaction.

She did feel a little bad though, as she could tell that her words were a bit much.

“Mom please stop!” Henry begged, as he looked up at his irate mother, who slowly turned down to him, staring him in the eyes before letting out a low grunt, with her magic receding a few moments later, deciding to stop for now.

“Good, now, as I asked before, what sort of books are you all looking for?” Wanda asked, as Henry spoke up first.

“Do you have books like this?” Henry asked, holding his storybook up, as Wanda looked down at it with interest, the title of the book being “Once upon a Time”.

“Hmm, I’ve got a few. Stories and myth of other worlds, but this one is quite unique. How about you let me copy it, all of the stories and notes within, and you can pick out three books in return?” Wanda offered, as the child looked up at her with surprise.

“You can copy it?”

“Mmhmm, easy to do. A bit of magic will be more than enough” Wanda said, as he nodded rapidly, causing her to giggle, her crimson magic flaring slightly to give the kid a bit of a show, as forming from it, out of completely and utterly nothing, was a copy of Once Upon a Time.

“Thank you for the new book, kid” Wanda said with a small smile, the book being put into the back where it would be copied a few dozen times automatically, and then sold in her store in one of the special multiverse sections that would only be shown to characters from other universes.

Regina watched in silence at the magic that had been shown, furrowing her eyebrows as she couldn’t sense it at all. It was like Wanda’s magic didn’t exist, couldn’t exist, and yet it did. Whatever form of magic she had just seen, was unknown to Regina, and she didn’t like that, not at all.

“Well? Go ahead and choose your books kid” Wanda said with a small chuckle as his eyes sparkled as he ran off, the area that he was interested in glowing softly as he ran over to it.

“…What are you?” Emma asked, watching as Henry looked over the titles of the books he wanted.

“Complicated question there, Swan. I’m not human, nor am I a god, I’m something…more I suppose. Although I like to just think that I am Wanda, and that is enough” Wanda replied with a small shrug of her shoulders.

“So neither of you are interested in any of my magical books? Even ones that can help you track others, seal dark beings, and all sorts of magical miracles that your universe cannot do?” Wanda asked with a raised eyebrow, as Regina looked interested at the mention of sealing dark beings.

“Your son gets three books to choose from, but you will have to pay the old fashioned way. That or you do an exchange of your own books, or knowledge, the latter is through a simple spell I’ve devised. The more interesting, rare, and powerful the books and knowledge, the more you’ll get in store credit” Wanda added, as Regina nodded slowly.

“I believe I’ll be checking out some of your wares. Let’s just hope they’re as incredible as you seem to believe they are” Regina said, as Wanda just snorted, watching her walk off to the magical section, leaving Emma alone.

“You know, you two are a rather interesting duo” Wanda said, looking at Regina as Emma stopped.

“What?”

“I mean the bond you two have. Light and Dark, quite interesting really. And before you say anything, I am a higher being, Swan, seeing that you’re interested in her is easy enough” Wanda said, before the woman could say anything more.

Emma’s eyes widened slightly at the words.

“Shut it!” Emma yelped, as Wanda just grinned.

“Oh?~ Seems my new customer is embarrassed over her crush on the little Queen” Wanda teased, giggling at the blush that was beginning to form on Emma’s face.

“She can’t hear me, so don’t worry that head of yours about your crush finding out~” Wanda smirked, as Emma glared fiercely at her, wondering if she should stay or not.

“Asshole” Emma grumbled, as Wanda’s grin just widened.

“How would you like some bakery goods and coffee?” Emma stopped at these words, as she looked at Wanda and responded.

“…You got anything stronger?”

So Emma is going to be a frequent guest, probably the most of them all. As she’s going to become a good friend to Wanda, mostly so she can whine about her relationship with Regina.

Anyways, have a good day!
