Enchanted Forest - Mill's Castle (Character's Past)

A young Regina was looking out of the window in their castle when her mother came in.

"What's this?" Cora asked

She was looking at the gift wrapped up.

"I don't know a gift, maybe it's a portrait." Regina said

Cora uses her magic to open the gift.

"Oh a looking-glass not nearly as personal. I wonder sometimes if the people really love you." Cora said

"I'm doing my best mother." Regina said

"Oh honey I'm sorry come here." Cora said

She grabs Regina's arm and brings her towards the glass.

"Look at you with your whole life ahead of you and it's going to be better than you can imagine." Cora said

Cora stands in front of Regina.

"The King's not a strong man, the kingdom will be yours. Raise the tributes, form a personal guard, let everyone know where the new power lies and you'll hold the hearts of your people in your hands." Cora said

Regina turns away.

"Is that what you would do mother?" Regina asked

"That's exactly what I would do." Cora said

"Well the thing is I don't want to be you." Regina said

Regina turns around to use her magic on her mother but gets trapped.

"What are you doing? You think it's that easy to get rid of me? You're stuck with me forever darling because I'm your mother and I know best." Cora said

Regina uses all her anger and she uses her magic to push her mother through the looking glass.

Shield

Cora wakes up on a bed. She sees two people walk over. She uses her magic to push them to a wall.

Two more people ran in.

"Wait!" The man yelled

"Where am I?!" Cora yelled

"You're at SHIELD." the man said

"Shield?" Cora asked

"Yes." The man said

"Please put them down." The woman said

Cora releases the two people on the wall.

"Who are you?" The man asked

"My name is Cora." Cora said

Sokovia (Present)

Cora was standing in front of a mirror. She was watching Tony Stark and he was with his girlfriend Pepper Potts.

She was disgusted watching them together.

A person came in.

"Miss?" The guard asked

Cora turns to him.

"Strucker's ready for you." The guard said

With a wave of her hand they disappear from her mirror.

Avengers Tower

Natasha was staring at a picture of her son. She had given birth to him and she was forced to leave him with Hydra.

Tony comes in as Natasha puts away the photo.

"Natasha." Steve said

Natasha turns to Tony.

"Cap called a meeting." Tony said

Natasha gets up and follows Tony.

Conference Room

"We found another Hydra base. They have the scepter and we need to get it back." Steve said

"And where is the base located at?" Clint asked

"Sokovia." Cap answered

Sokovia

Cora was standing next to a guy named Strucker. She was watching the young boy fighting the other soldiers.

"That one." Cora pointed out, "What's his name?"

"We call him Spider." Strucker said

"Tell me about him." Cora demanded

"Natasha Romanoff gave birth to him and she left him here. We've been training him ever since he was four years old. He's fifteen now." Strucker said

Who's his father?" Cora asked

"The Winter Soldier otherwise known as Sergeant Barnes." Strucker said

Cora turns Strucker.

"The Avengers are coming here to take the scepter. Have them bring me Tony Stark but I want him alive and unscathed. If he is hurt in any way I will kill everyone in this room starting with you." Cora said

Strucker nods his head.

"Bring me the Spider while you're at it." She said

Cora smiles and walks away.
