I am. Very good! Perhaps now that you're not so old, Captain, you might be able to keep up with me.

[ His smile is frank and cocky, and Peter has every reason to be when he is as fleet as the wind, a master swordsman with a lust for battle. None of that is betrayed by his appearance, only the wolfish sternness in his eyes that so often unnerves Wendy and commands the Lost Boys.

He is delighted, he decides, and strolls the edge of the table. ]

Where are your seadogs? I can't remember how many I slew last time. Is there a new Jolly Roger? What of the crocodile?

[ Really, he can't help being a facetious little shit crowing when he feels confident. ]

[unhand]

The crocodile? You mean your son? [This is wrong. This isn't Pan. There are similarities, but he seems like a rough sketch of the version he knows. All the right parts, but connected wrong. A different face, but the expression in his eyes. Naming his ship and his crocodile, knowing him as Hook, but not referring to any of their past dealings or trying to get anything out of him.

Yet.

Whoever this boy is, whether some sort of version of Pan or something else entirely, Hook's not so foolish as to underestimate him or let down his guard. No doubt, the boy's dangerous, whoever he is.]

Last I'd seen, the crocodile had killed you, along with himself. But clearly he was not so effective a murderer as I might have hoped.

[infant]

My what?

[ The mirth vanishes, snuffed out as swiftly as fingers closing over a wick. His distress grows as he paces, blooming to match his indignation over the last argument he had with someone else, someone dear. ]

They're only games. That's all! I am no Father and Wendy is not really the Mother of anyone, my boys belong to themselves. I have no son, Captain!

Stop it, this isn't fun.

[unhand]

Some games have consequences. Those don't tend to be fun.

[They can be. Hook thinks he'd like being a father. But then again, he'd never tried to avoid growing up. Just dying before he could kill his demon.

He stares at this child. He's not the real Pan. He can't be. It just doesn't make sense.]

Who are you?
