Our world is a land without magic, but that doesn’t mean it has no magic in it. Regina still had her crypt of magical objects and beating hearts. Graham’s heart was glowing so it had some magic attachted to it. And if Hook is in Ouat, that means Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle aren’t far behind. Both Peter and Tink visited our world. So I’m not ruling out something magical was in the box.
I don’t know, I’m not really sold on Neal being anyone but an ordinary guy.
BUT this question really has me thinking and overthinking different scenarios.
Could Neal be Bae
Could Neal be PeterPan, and like you said ultimately have come to our world with the help of Tink and stayed here (the movie Hook has Peter falling in love with Wendys daughter I believe?)
Could Bae be PeterPan
Could Neal be someone entirely different altogether from the FairyTaleLand…?
Reginas hearts had no magic, when Jefferson came looking for something with magic in it to power the hat she had to give him the ring Daniel gave her because it was the one of the only things in this world that had any magical properties – I could be wrong about that, maybe the hearts do have magical properties and she didn’t want to waste them to get the apple.
Now the writers set it up so Rumple was Hooks crocodile. Hook kept the bean and went to Neverland (a land he described to Smee as a place where they will never grow old). Now the writers have not introduced Hooks PeterPan (I mean they made Rumple the Beast, and the Croc, and Cinderellas ‘fairy godmother’) BUT the possibility that Bae got transported to Neverland (a place with limited magic, maybe Rumples magic doesnt work there, or even a place that the only magic that works has to come from an item with magical properties ie the bean Hook used) is a slim chance. AND on top of that, it also leaves room for Bae to be PeterPan.
My whole problem with Bae being PeterPan would be that Peters nemesis is Hook and Hooks nemesis is Peter, Hooks quandary with the Croc is brought upon because Peter feeds the Croc Hooks hand. In OUaT, Rumple cut off Hooks hand to get the bean, becoming Hooks Croc. So with those facts stated, it can only make sense that whatever they do with PeterPan can’t be related to Rumple therefore thats why I don’t think Bae could be PeterPan.
I think Neal being PeterPan and following more of a story line like the movie Hook is a possibility.
BUT that brings us back to the whole ~what was in that box?~ question…and at that stage I don’t think it could be TinkerBell or anything Tinkerbell related (reminding him of the FairyTaleWorld).
And all that is because I am pretty set on that Neal is a normal character…
BUT I really don’t know, cause that box has me all sorts of messed up haha
