Prologue
"Freeze!" cried the officer.
"One step ahead of you," came a cool voice. A lean, white haired man gave the cop a coy smirk as he proceeded to cover the ground in frost with a flourish of his hand. Mist shot out of his hand, turning into frost upon contact with any surface, while a particular bit of the mist concentrated around the officer's feet, encasing the shoes in a prison of ice, effectively halting all of the policeman's prior advancements.
"You little piece of-"
"Uh uh, watch that tongue, officer." Jack chided as he expertly scaled a nearby apartment building on his way toward the roof. Understanding Jack's getaway intentions, the cop took out his gun.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you Officer... Maximus, was it?" Jack paused in his trek to playfully tap his chin in fake thought. "Wouldn't want to disturb civilians by endangering them now, would you? A bullet could easily go through the wall and..." Jack made a gun with his hand and pointed it to his head, letting the action finish his sentence. Officer Maximus growled in frustration and began using the butt of his weapon to chip away the ice at his feet.
"Seems like our little encounter must come to an end. I would say that I'd like to stay and chat, but my mother raised me to not be a liar," the white haired teen drawled, "I could say that I'd see you later, but I would prefer not having to see your face again." Jack smirked, one hand hanging onto the roof ledge and the other giving a mock salute. In a fluid motion, he propelled himself to the top of the building, tauntingly waving the stolen manila folder in his hands in the process.
The officer let out a string of curses directed at both the thief and the ice around his feet, which he had barely made a dent in.
"This'll teach you to stay out of our hair," Jack called out. Officer Maximus watched in horror as the man jumped off the building, but just before thief could land on top of him, a strong gust of wind blew at them and carried away the man into the night.
"Damn you, Jack Frost!" cried Maximus as he stood at his spot uselessly. "Damn all you mutants!"
*AN: I prefer the comedy genre but I wanted to try out a plot bunny that's been in my head for a while now. Just want to see how this goes. I may just stick to one-shots. Much less commitment to worry about.
One more thing- I'm not particularly fond of making author's notes, so I won't be making a lot of them. :) But I do appreciate all the readers, followers, favorite-ers?, reviewers, etc, whether they be from this story or one of my others. I just don't voice it out as much as I should. Feel free to pm me though.
