So do you think it's possible that WR Robin Hood is actually the Black Fairy in disguise?

I feel like it just seemed a little too easy that he believed Regina when she told him that they were together in another realm and that he was happy and gave to the poor, then willingly went with her to Storybrooke. And also the fact that he had not aged a day led me to believe that there's more they're not telling us.

My theory is that the Black Fairy was waiting with a back up plan in case Gideon failed to kill Emma. However, when Emma was sent to the Wish Realm, it changed her plans causing her to force herself into a disguise of a familiar face (Robin) so she could easily gain Emma and Regina's trust. When they are about to escape the Black Fairy prevents it by pretending to rob them, but then she fails once Henry arrives, and she must flee. She manages to reunite with Regina and then once Regina tells "Robin" to come back with her to Storybrooke, she agres, knowing that she can have Gideon (and possibly her son) at her disposal.

Another more likely outcome is that WR Robin was really a copy of Robin, but the Black Fairy killed him and and disgusied herself as him when Regina and Robin passed through the enchanted tree. Why else would there have been a delay with Robin's entrance?
