Your Guardian Angel

Chapter 1: Back Home

Wind swirled in a circle at the base of the Great Tree. A figure fell from the swirl of wind. Jenny fell in a bloody heap on the ground. She ground rolling onto her back. The poison was starting to take over her entire body.

The mid-May night air blew over her, brushing her hair across the grass.

Alastar appeared next to her. With a small sigh he pressed his hand her head. The poison slowly followed from her body, but she was still weak. Jenny smiled up at her friend.

"S… sorry for snapping at you" she mumbled, barely audible.

Alastar made a face like he was smiling and rubbed her shoulder gently. Jenny smiled, resting her head against a tree root and dozing off to sleep.

Alastar disappeared into the night.

"Another mission complete!" Kala cheered as Jenny opened her eyes.

She saw the dark creature off on her side of the room, sharpening her claws.

"How many times a day are you going to do that?" Jenny asked sitting up and rubbing her head.

"Hahaha! Anyways I just used my claws to kill at least fifty men! They need sharpening!" Kala stated as Jenny looked up at the ceiling. It was once again a night sky.

Jenny stared at the dark night sky without a word to her dark friend. It seem like days, when it was only a few hours that she slipped into a dream.

(Dream)

Jak stood there smiling at Jenny. She smiled back and moved to get closer to him. But with every step she took Jak got father away. Jenny stopped, confused. Jak took a step towards her and she didn't move backwards.

Jenny didn't move as Jak wrapped his arms around her and held her to his chest. Small tears dripped from her eyes as the man she loved hugged her close.

"I missed you" he whispered in her ear and the teenage girl smiled more.

"Me too, Jak" she mumbled into his chest.

Everything was dark around them, but Jenny didn't mind. If Jak was here, everything was good.

(End of Dream)

Jak groaned getting out of bed once again. Daxter smiled, running into the room. The blonde hero, looked around the room like every morning thinking that the place seem empty without Jenny. All of Haven seem empty without her.

Daxter jumped onto the bed, gripping Jak's hand with both of his tiny hands.

"What Daxter?" Jak asked annoyed that the ottsel had come this early in the morning to get him up.

"Come on Jak, were going to Haven Forest today!" Daxter said and Jak rolled over pulling the blanket over his head.

"I. Want. To. Sleep!" Jak insisted.

"And I. Don't. Care! Your getting you butt out of bed and coming with me to Haven Forest!" Daxter grumbled, jumping up and down on Jak' stomach.

"Fine! I'm getting up!" Jak growled, finally sitting up and climbing out of bed.

He pulled on his usual attire of a blue, long sleeved shirt and tan khakis with his gun. He really needed to get different clothes, it was become summer. It was May 20th, only about a month before Jenny's birthday.

'She should be back soon, I really should start getting up and looking for her' Jak thought to himself.

Daxter jumped onto Jak's shoulder as he left the room.

Jak and everyone else had moved when the new Freedom League HQ was build. There were special apartments made for all of them. Daxter lived with Tess, Kiera lived with Samos, Sig with Torn, Frida with Celeste, Jessica with Patrick and Jeremy, Austin and Heavenly, and Jak with Jenny.

But Jenny wasn't back yet and Jak's room felt empty without her there.

Jak sighed as he climbed onto a zoomer and headed towards Haven Forest. As he landed near the entrance, he heard Daxter snicker.

"Hmm?" the blonde asked curiously.

"I really can't wait for Jenny to get back," the ottsel paused looking at Jak "I miss riding in her jacket!"

Jak laughed quietly and walked through the air lock. He jumped through the warp gate then got on the platform that would take him to Haven Forest. Everything was completely calm as he walked through the forest.

"Yeah know, I forgot how peaceful this place really is" Jak said looking at Daxter as he jumped across the stream.

"Well it wouldn't surprise me. You've hardly done anything since Jenny left," Daxter sighed, shaking his head "It isn't like she's never coming back!"

"I know" Jak mumbled as the climbed the hill up towards the Great Tree. At first, as Jak looked towards the tree, he thought his mind was playing trick on him. But after blinking a few times he realized that there really was a teenaged girl lying on the ground, wearing a navy blue dress and black cloak.

Jak ran towards her, with every stride, his smile grew.

Jak fell on his knees beside the sleeping brunette and quickly scooped the girl into his arms, letting the hood of the cloak fall off her head. She was covered in blood that wasn't her own but it didn't bother Jak. Daxter smiled widely.

"JENNY!!!!" he screamed and the girl's eyes snapped open.

"Oh hey Jak, hey Dax" she mumbled, leaning her head against Jak's chest.

"Jenny are you okay?" Jak asked tilting her head to look at him.

She nodded then rested her head on Jak's shoulder, "Just really tired, it's been a long ride."

Jak nodded and stood up, bringing Jenny with him. The teenage girl wrapped her legs around his torso rested her cheek against his shoulder that didn't have armor on it. Jak held her up by resting his arms under her butt.

Jenny dozed off to sleep quickly as Jak carried her out of the forest. Daxter ran off saying he was going to go tell everyone at the Naughty Ottsel that Jenny was back. Jak was just glad Jenny was safe and sound without a single scratch.

He drove quickly to the FL HQ and carried the still sleeping girl up to their apartment. It was simple; a small main room that was attached to a small kitchen, with a hallway leading down to the bedroom and bathroom.

Jak sighed walking into their room and closing the door behind him. He laid Jenny down gently on the bed, then began to pull his effects off. He looked her over with a humorous smile. Since when did Jenny wear dresses?

The hero laid down next to her and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. Jenny smiled and snuggled closer to him taking in his smell. They laid there in silence for a long time.

"Gawd, I missed you so much" Jak whispered in the girl's ear and Jenny just nodding, still tired a weak.

It seemed like only ten or fifteen minutes when Jenny popped her eyes open fully and rolled over to face Jak. She smiled and sat up pulling the cloak off from around her neck and through it in the corner. The brunette looked around the small bedroom, having never been here before.

"Where are we?" Jenny asked. She wasn't all that worried if Jak had brought her here.

"Freedom League HQ. While you were gone this place was built," Jak paused setting up "They made apartments for the 'special agents' like ourselves."

Jenny laughed lightly as she climbed out of bed, "I better go take a shower. I'm covered in blood!"

"Just one question," Jak said and Jenny turned back around to face him "How'd you get all that blood on you in the first place?"

"Well you see there were tons of KG in my way," Jenny laughed about to leave "And where is the bathroom?"

"On the other side of the hall" Jak said getting up.

Jenny nodded and ran towards the bathroom was. It was big and white and blue like everything else in this building. She sighed turning the water on for the shower. She went and looked at herself in the mirror.

Her entire face was covered in dried blood. With a sigh she just brushed her hand over her face. Without another thought, she pulled off the dress that was somehow still in one piece, just covered in blood. It had even survived her transformation into Kala.

After Jenny had pulled off every article of clothing she wore, which was a lot; there was the actual dress, a corset that went under it, a bra, underwear, and lastly a slip, the brunette stepped into the shower.

Like always, the burning water felt good against her aching skin. She didn't waste time grabbing the bar of soap and scrubbing away the blood on her skin and in her hair. Once done cleaning herself she let the water just run over her skin for a long while before she turned the water off.

Jenny stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel. She only half to recollection that she didn't have any clothes. So after drying of she just slipped the bra, underwear, and slip she'd borrowed from Isabella back on and left the bathroom.

The teenage girl found Jak sitting on the couch in the main room. He looked up at her with a bemused smile, he wasn't all that shocked at Jenny wasn't wearing very much.

"Uh… where could I get some clothes?" Jenny asked plopping down on the couch beside Jak.

Jak rubbed his goatee and smiled down at her, "Torn might know someplace to get you some clothes. But you might want to but a little more on."

"Well I'm not going to see him in that dress," Jenny laughed leaning against Jak "One, it's filthy and two, I'd never live down him see me in a dress!"

Jak stood up and held out his hand, "Come on then, you can put on some of my clothes until we find you some."

Jenny took his hand and was pulled up off the couch. Instead of leading Jenny back to the bedroom, Jak wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed his lips to hers. The brunette sighed and leaned against him heavily as he kissed her deeply. Jak pulled back and smiled warmly at her before walking away and heading towards the bedroom.

Jenny followed behind him, just coming into the room as Jak threw some clothes out of the only closet that was to the right of the bed. The clothes landed in her arms and she quickly looked them over. Just a black shirt that seemed to small for Jak yet to big for her, a pair of tan shorts that also seemed way to big for her, and her old pouch that she could use as a belt.

Jenny smiled and pulled the slip off over her head. She quickly pulled on the pants and tied the pouch around her waist to keep them up then pulled the shirt on over her head and tied it at the waist. Jak left and came back as she was tying the shirt, with her combat boots she had been wearing under the dress.

The brunette smiled widely and quickly sat down on the bed, pulling her boots on. Jak leaned against the door frame, waiting for her to get done. Once she stood up and walked over to her, grabbing her hand and pulling her out of the apartment.

Jak took her straight down to the main room where a group of people were. The was small though only consisting up Torn, Ashelin, Daxter, Tess, Heavenly, and Austin. A warm smile spread across Heavenly's face as Jenny walked into the room.

Heavenly leaped at Jenny, knocking her to the floor. Jenny couldn't understand a word she was saying because her sobs muffled out her voice. Jenny just sighed and rubbed her friend's shoulder while humming lightly in her ear.

"See, Heaven? I didn't break my promise" Jenny smiled as the dirty-blonde haired girl smiled and sat up wiping her eyes.

"You're really back" she gasped amazed.

"Heaven! You know me better then that! I never break my promises!!!" Jenny shouted shocked, but still smiling anyways.

Austin fell to his knees next to her a wrapped his arms around her, "I'm glad your back, cuz!"

Jenny hugged him back and stood up. She smiled and walked over to Torn wrapping her arms around his waist. The commander hugged her back awkwardly.

"It's good to see you again, big bro!" Jenny said nuzzling her head into Torn's shoulder. The hardened man didn't say anything as she pulled back.

"Do you know where I could get some clothes that actually fit me?" Jenny asked and Torn smiled lightly now noticing that she was wearing Jak's clothes. He nodded and began to lead her down another hall way. Jak followed them but the other five stayed behind.
