Title: Promise the Stars

Disclaimers: I own none of these characters

Show Universes: Once Upon a Time, Xena: Warrior Princess, Eureka, Rizzoli & Isles (TV Show)

A/N: Okay, so, I had this crazy idea. It's sort of an idea that was spawned from my crossover story with Rizzoli & Isles and Xena:WP 'Soulmates'. Then I started watching a little show called Once Upon a Time and it sort of trickled into my brain that Regina and Emma also have some similarities to the story of Xena/Gabby. Then, 'cause I didn't just want to do a R&I vs. OuAT sort of story I chose another couple to pit against the other four ladies.

Now, I just have to figure out which two out of the four TV shows I want to use for the crossover genres. Oh, and see if I can figure out how to put up a poll on my profile... :)

A/N #2: Oh yes, and when does all this stuff take place. Really only the R&I stuff has a set time. Eureka takes place either near the end of Season 4.5, or... hopefully... in the future (darn you Beverly) and the OuAT stuff also takes place during the first season, after Graham is gone, but not after any specific episode.

But with Rizzoli&Isles. That takes place a few months after the finale of the second season, so there are definitely spoilers for that.

"This is stupid Xena."

Xena rolled her eyes, yawned and put her feet up on a conveniently placed tree stump. "Of course it is. Nothing that we do here matters, we've been dead over two thousand years, and really, I'm so very, very bored." She sighed, "Least in Tartarus there would'a been some fisticuffs."

Gabrielle chuckled lightly and wrapped an arm around Xena, putting her head against Xena's shoulder, "This is the reward, remember, and where did you get your hands on the incantations to do all this?"

Xena shrugged, "Guy down the way a bit. Died not too long ago-"

"Xena, to us, the American Revolution wasn't too long ago. You're going to have to be more specific. What was his name?"

Xena shrugged again, "Hey, I'm not haunting random places or things, or appearing in the semi-flesh to people so they think I'm still alive somewhere. I'm bored. This is what happens when I'm bored. So, are we gonna do this or not?"

Gabrielle shook her head, but it was still with a smile, "Go for it. Why the Hades not? I'm a bit bored too."

Xena laughed.

"Maura-"

"Detective Rizzoli."

Jane moved to one side and their shoulders only brushed a bit. Frankie slapped his sister on the shoulder with a laugh once Maura was out of view. "Guess she's still pissed huh?"

Jane didn't laugh. "Did you sweep the house Frankie?"

Frankie bristled, "Of course I did. Any other insulting questions?" He didn't wait for Jane's answer and stormed out the front door.

Jane carefully made her way to the back bedroom where the body and Maura were. She stopped in the doorway and leaned against it, her arms crossed over her chest. "I have nothing yet Detective. Not even the time of death."

"I didn't ask."

Silence reigned. It was Maura who finally broke it, "Twelve hours ago... but..."

Jane finished Maura's sentence, "You won't know for sure until you get him back to the morgue. Not my first rodeo."

Maura looked up, "I'll never forgive you."

Jane nodded, "I never thought you would."

Maura didn't break eye contact with Jane for a moment, a tiny frown creasing the space between her eyes, "You haven't been yourself lately."

Jane stepped into the room, "Maybe who I was wasn't who I should be..."

Maura started to speak, but at the last second she didn't. Instead she dove over the dead body towards Jane, knocking the Detective to the ground as a gun went off. Everything went sideways for a moment, then went black for both of them.

Jack Carter was practically whistling as he stepped into Dr. Allison Blake's office at Global Dynamics. He'd got a call from her while looking into missing cutlery in Cafe Diem. He knew it would be a problem, maybe something big, or something that would start small and turn into something big, but, he didn't care. His daughter would be home from college in days and he was entering the office of the woman he loved, who also happened to love him back.

"So, what is it? Globidium on the loose? Tornadoes on level five, a mutiny in level 27?"

"I'm pregnant."

Jack was stunned silent, "H-how?"

That caused Allison to smile as she stood and walked to Jack, taking his hands in hers. "You seemed to know how when..."

"No- I mean-" He trailed off, "Wow."

Allison started to look just a bit worried, "Jack, I'm sorry, I just sprang this on you, we should talk ab..."

Jack kissed Allison silent, then leaned his forehead against hers, "No, no, it wasn't a bad Wow, just a- wow, wow- unless, I guess you've done this before, twice, so I'd unders-"

It was Allison's turn to kiss Jack silent, "Shh... a child, with you, would be a dream."

Jack smiled, then frowned, "Now, don't take this the wrong way, but weren't you taking- ahh- preventative measures?"

Allison gave Jack a pointed look, "We've been through- more biohazards happen in a week in Eureka than in everyone else's whole lives. Any one of which could have counteracted the birth control."

"Right-" Jack smirked with a shake of his head, "Sometimes I forget. Eureka strikes again." He paused, "I think this is the best 911 I've ever gotten."

That caused Allison to chuckle and she kissed Jack again, "Well, it wasn't the only reason I called you. We had a break in..."

Jack gave a faux sniff, "Oh, I see, you just like me for my uniform."

Allison put her hand over Jack's Sheriff's badge, "Actually, I think I like you better out of it, but... the theft."

Jack gave a bow towards the door, "Lead the way la... Ow..." He rubbed where Allison had playfully hit him as they walked towards the elevator. "Just tell me it isn't Level Five." Allison was silent, "Aww... C'mon Allison... Level Five, again?"

Allison pressed the button for Level Five, "Sorry Jack."

Jack made a face, but managed not to grouse as they rode the elevator down and down and down. When they stepped off he spoke again, "What was stolen?"

"A centrifuge."

Jack frowned, "Seriously?"

"It's a..."

Jack cut Allison off, "I know what it is. I've seen CSI, well, once, and I think I fell asleep halfway through, 'cause at the end the grey haired guy and the young dark haired woman were kissing. Uh... I'm just wondering why in a building... a complex... a town... full of amazing doohickies and watchamacallits, they steal a centrifuge?"

Allison hid her smile, "I believe motive is your job Sheriff. Here we go..." As they entered Allison tripped. She threw her hands out at the same time that Jack lunged for her. But before her hands were far enough in front of her or Jack could get to her, her head hit the edge of the nearest console, a beaker tilting over as well and something splashing into her face and eyes. All of this closely followed by a brilliant flash of light.

"Who the Hell do you think you are? He's MY son."

Emma blew out a breath, "Yes, and I'm the Sheriff, and even though you may not like it, I care about him."

Regina crossed her arms over her chest, "Well, I love him and I know..."

Emma stepped into Regina's personal space and poked her in the chest, "No. You don't. You think you do. Love is more than just about feeding and clothing him."

Regina pushed Emma backwards a step, "You think I don't know what love is. Everyone in this damn town thinks that I don't know what love is."

David appeared out of nowhere, of all things a sword in his hands. "Back away Emma."

Emma didn't move, just frowned at the man, "David... what are..."

"Move backwards. Someone needs to fix... fix all this, break this curse. Killing her will do it."

Emma sighed and slowly drew her gun, "David, I don't want to use this. Please, put down the sword, okay?"

David looked somewhere between aghast and seriously angry, "You're going to side with HER?"

Emma put up her other hand, the gun still pointed at the ground. "I'm not on anyone's side David. Put down the sword. Please."

"Why don't you..."

Emma cut Regina off, "Shut up Regina."

Surprisingly the Mayor did. "Violence isn't the answer David. If you think for a second you'll realize that. How do you know that if you kill her that..." she managed to keep the disbelief out of her voice, "...you all will go back to your... kingdom. Maybe it will strand you all here forever."

"No." He waved the sword, "No, no... she has taken all our happy endings for herself, and I'll get them back." He took a step towards Regina and Emma took a step towards him.

"David. Does she look happy? Hmmm? Does she?"

But, David was past talking. He rushed at Regina and with a wince Emma raised her gun and got off a shot. He was hit, but only in the shoulder, and it didn't seem to slow him down. Emma's finger started to squeeze the trigger again, but he was too fast.

Then, it was as if everything slowed down for the blonde. The tip of the sword preceded David, and because Emma was beside the Mayor it would pierce Regina's flesh before Emma could shoot again. Instead she did the first thing that came to her mind and stepped in front of Regina, the blade of the sword plunging into her just under her left breast.

A half cry, half gurgle came out of her mouth as she fell backwards. Regina getting under her just in time to catch her before she hit the ground. Except, Regina had only just caught Emma when the world went sideways, and everything went black for both of them.

Xena made a face, "Ooh, damn, you know what we forgot?"

Gabrielle watched the six people in their forests for a silent moment and then nodded. "An antagonist."

Xena smirked, "Well, I was gonna say a proper baddy or two, but, if you wanna go with the fifty dinar word."

"Cent."

"Only if we're in the United States." Xena tapped her fingers on her knee for a moment. "Huh..."

"Xena..."

Xena kissed Gabrielle, then brushed a hand through the short woman's short blonde hair, "Do you trust me?"

Gabrielle pursed her lips, "Since you know that I do... this won't be good will it?"

Xena's eyes twinkled with something that Gabrielle hadn't seen in a long time. The bard sighed, "Do it, whatever you're about to do, do it. Pick your... bad guy."

"How about... guys..."

Gabrielle was silent for a moment, "You don't mean..." Xena nodded, "X- That's not fair. You could barely..."

"We..."

Gabrielle narrowed her eyes at Xena, "You

"This is a test to see which one of them carries us in them... I think this is an apt bunch of... baddies to test them against."

Gabrielle took in a breath and blew it out, "Okay, okay... will they die if they... die?"

Xena winced, "I ah... I'm not actually sure about that."

Gabrielle made a face, "Well, how wrong could this go then..."
