Time After Time

Chapter 1: Trouble

Green eyes with purple streaks in them slowly opened. Her brunette hair was spread out over the blonde hero's chest. He gently shook her shoulder and the teenage girl mumbled something and snuggled closer to the hero. The blonde rolled his eyes then slowly laid the girl's head on the pillow and climbed out of the bed.

He walked quickly over to the bathroom and quietly closed the door behind him. Though it wasn't quiet enough. The brunette sat up in the bed. She heard the water running and sighed then climbed out of the warm bed. She walked across the freezing tile floor to the closet on the left side of the bed. She quickly rummaged through the clothes and found her old clothes, the black tube top and pants.

She sat them on the bed then went and sat by the fireplace while she waited for the blonde renegade to get down with his shower. It wasn't long before she heard the water shut off. She stayed staring at the embers left by the fire as the hero walked out of the shower.

He was towel drying his hair then smirked and through the towel at the brunette, "So, Jenny, did you finally decide to get up?"

The towel wrapped around her head and she quickly unwrapped it and threw it back at the hero, "What was that for?!"

The blonde shrugged and dodged the towel then threw one of the pillows from the chairs by the fireplace at her as she jumped up from the one she was sitting in. The pillow hit her full in the face. Jenny narrowed her eyes then ran and grabbed a pillow from the bed and charged at the blue eyed man and hit him over the head with it.

He knocked the pillow out of her hand then grabbed her around the waist and slung her over his shoulder. She kicked and screamed as he walked over and grabbed the clothes she had pulled out of the closet and head for the bathroom.

"JAK!!! Put me down, now," Jenny shouted then was dumped into the bathtub "Jak!!!"

"What? You said to put you down" Jak said innocently as he reached over and turned the water on. Freezing cold water rained down on Jenny as she sat in the tub, legs hanging over the edge.

"JAK!!!!"

"What I thought you were gonna take a shower?" he stated smiling as he turned away from her and put her clothes on the counter.

"It's freezing!!!" whined Jenny, then she smirked and grabbed the back of Jak's pants and pulled him into the tub also.

They laughed for a long time before Jenny climbed out of the tub and held out her hand to help Jak. Jak was pulled to his feet and then bent down and gave Jenny a small kiss before speaking.

"I'll let you get your shower now" he said then left, closing the door behind him.

Jenny sighed, turning to the shower and changing the temp of the water. It quickly began to warm as she pulled off her soaked clothes and threw them in the sink. Jenny quickly stepped into the shower and let the warm water run over her bruised and cut skin.

The water got warmer and warmer and soon it was hot enough it hurt her skin as it washed away the dirt. Ever since the Metalhead Leader was defeated a week ago, the new commander of the KG, Torn, had been sending them to get rid of metalheads that still were in the city.

Sighing, Jenny grabbed the bar of soap and began scrubbing her skin and hair. Once done she rinsed off then turned the water off. She stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel from the rack over the toilet. Jenny quickly dried off then toweled dried her hair and put her clothes on.

She pushed open the door and saw Jak sitting in one of the chairs by the fireplace. She dumped her towel in the clothes hamper then walked slowly over to him. She passed him up and went to sit in the other chair. But Jak just grabbed the back of her pants and pulled Jenny into his lap.

Jenny laughed as she fell back against his chest. She curled up into a ball inn his lap and laid her head against his chest, taking a deep breath through her nostrils and inhaling his scent. Jak smiled and gave her a small kiss on her slightly wet head.

"I don't want you to leave" he whispered in her ear as she cuddled closer to him.

"I don't wanna leave either," she began quietly "But I have to go save your baby self from the evil Baron Praxis!"

"Dax called while you were taking a shower," Jak said "He wanted us to go help with decorations at the Naughty Ottsel, but I told him we were busy today."

"Nice," Jenny said standing up "What are we doing today?

"We promised Torn we'd help train new recruits, remember?" Jak teased as Jenny's eyes got wide.

"Oh shit I forgot about that!" Jenny stated walking back over to the bed and grabbing her effects from underneath it.

"I can't wait to see how you torture those more guys" Jak commented as Jenny walked towards the door.

"Oh really? You know I could just send you out there with them" Jenny joked as Jak followed her out the door.

Once outside they headed down the hall towards the elevator. Jenny pushed the button to go up then they waited for the elevator to get there. When the door slid open Jenny growled.

General Black stood there talking to another guard member. He didn't realize that his ex-girlfriend had just climbed on the elevator till the door had closed and the other guard had spoke.

"Well good morning Jenny!" the guard said cheerfully.

Jenny's head snapped over to the guard as he pulled off his helmet, "Jeremy! It's good to see you again!"

Jeremy smiled holding his helmet under his arm as Johnathon spoke, "Yes good morning Cooper."

"You too, Black," Jenny hissed then turned her attention back to Jeremy "So what have you been up to?"

"Not much, just running the rest of the Metalheads out of the city," he paused then continued excitedly "The entire guard heard what happened at the Nest. Did you two really defeat the Metalhead Leader?"

"Yes, we did. In fact Kor's head is hanging in the Naughty Ottsel right now. You are coming to the celebration party tonight, right?"

"Of course," Jeremy said stepping off the elevator as the door opened "Well I'll see you later tonight then, mate!"

"Yeah, see you later" Jenny said just as the door closed.

Johnathon laughed quietly as the elevator continued upward. Jenny snapped her head in his direction and gritted her teeth.

"You never change, Cooper, your so predictable" he commented looking ahead.

Jenny narrowed her eyes, "And some people change a little to much!"

"You know that wasn't my fault" he said keeping his voice strong.

"If I'm so weak and I was able to go through the DWP without breaking, I wonder how weak you are?" Jenny snapped.

The two stood face to face, growling at each other until the elevator finally stopped and the door opened. Jenny turned on her heel and quickly got off the lift with Jak right beside her. She took one last look over her shoulder and saw the Johnathon was following her.

"What now you're going to stalk me!" she growled over her shoulder.

"No," Johnathon hissed back walking up beside her "Actually Torn asked me to train new recruits today."

Jenny groaned almost knowing where this was going. She pushed open the door where Torn's office was and quickly walked over to him.

"Finally you guys are here," he said looking up from a list of names and handing it to Jenny "I want you three to take the newbies out to the Pumping Station and hunt metalheads. Make them run a lot too, especially if they get out of hand. This group has hardly any endurance what so ever or stamina for that matter. They group should be waiting for you three by the time they get there. If they aren't they are punished. They need to be on time. Report back at the end of the day. Now get to work soldiers!"

"Yes sir" Johnathon growled leaving the room quickly.

Jenny nodded then left the room also with Jak beside her. She glared at Johnathon's back as he walked away and headed for the elevator. She followed him and gritted her teeth. It was going to be a long day.


Jenny growled as she turned away from arguing with Johnathon and turned to the group of new recruits that were getting out of hand… again. It was like a high school classroom. Jenny growled as she turned to the group.

"Listen up!!!" she shouted and everyone quieted quickly and stood at attention "You now get to run laps around the Pumping Station until the end of the day because you cant keep your mouths shut! Get to it, NOW!!!"

The group groaned then took off running. Jenny mumbled something about stupid boys and slackers that no one heard but herself. She turned back to Jak and Johnathon. Jak rolled his eyes as he leaned against one of the few trees at the Pumping Station while Johnathon growled.

"What's the matter with you?" Jenny hissed shooting a glare his direction.

"Those men need to be actually training, not running!" Johnathon commented taking a step closer to her.

"Torn gave us specific orders on how to handle this bunch, I'm following order" hissed Jenny stepping closer to Johnathon. Jak pushed off the tree ready to break them up if they got in a fight.

"Oh what are you the commander's pet! Anyways Commander Torn needs to focus on actually training and breaking those boys not making them run" Johnathon shouted in Jenny's face.

"Why?! So they'll turn out like you!!!" Jenny shot back.

A loud smack echoed through the Pumping Station. All the recruits that had yet to round the corner turned and looked over their shoulder as Jenny stumbled backwards landing on her butt in the water. She jumped up and punched Johnathon in the face. He stumbled backwards holding his bleeding nose.

Johnathon tackled Jenny and they went rolling down the hill into the water. Jenny rolled on top of him and pinned him in the shallow water. As she began to shout in his face she clasped her hands around his throat.

"What have I ever done to you," she shouted slamming his head against the rocks "You're the one that betrayed me!!! Not the other way around!!!"

She stopped slamming his head against the rocks as Jak spoke, "Jenny?"

Jenny stood up and turned on her heel walking away from Johnathon. She ran out of the Pumping Station. Jak called to her as he followed her out of the Air Lock. Jenny didn't here him as she climbed on a zoomer and took off back towards the palace. Jak sighed as he watched her drive off.

Johnathon stood up wiping the blood from his nose and the back of his head. He ringed out his shirt and pants.

"Damnit!" he hissed as he ran off to find the new recruits.


Jenny sighed letting the breeze blow through her long hair and across her bruised cheek. She landed near the entrance to the palace and walked inside. She headed straight for Torn's office to give him the report. She pushed opened the door and it slammed against the wall.

Torn looked up while the guard that he was talking to jumped and spun around pointing his gun at Jenny. He didn't realize it but he pulled the trigger when he saw Jenny standing in the doorway. Jenny ducked and the bullet went in the wall behind her.

Torn sighed and rolled his eyes, dismissing the guard. As the guard passed Jenny he mumbled a quick apology then ran off. Torn looked up as Jenny walked over to his desk and saw the large bruise on her cheek.

"You and Black got in a fight didn't you two?" he questioned, also noticing that she was wet.

Jenny nodded slightly then spoke, "We got in an argument about how we should be train the new recruits and he slapped me."

"What did you do after that?" he questioned curiously and also hoping she didn't just take it and walked away.

"I punched him, he tackled me, we went rolling into a pond, I strangled him, and beat his head against the rocks" she said quickly, keeping her hands clasped behind her.

"Is he dead," Jenny shook her head "Damnit I was hoping he was," the brunette laughed at this as she sat down in the chair in front of Torn's desk "Well as long as you alright everything's good. Like I said before, you're trouble looking for a place to happen."

"I though I was and accident looking for a place to happen?" she questioned looking up at Torn.

"Well now it's trouble, squirt," he smiled slightly and handed her a stack of papers "Now that you've got some free time you can help me with all this paper work. I need those forms put in alphabetical order by last name then sorted into five groups."

"Fine, your lucky you're my boss!" she stated rolling her eyes as she started pulling papers from the stack and putting them on top or on bottom.

"Not necessarily, you're not technically part of the KG," Torn paused grabbing a pen from his desk "Oh! And Ashelin is changing the Krimson Guard entirely. Said something about that they needed to have a huge change so people wouldn't continue to fear them like they have. She's changing there color to blue and is trying to figure out a new name."

"That's cool, has she got a name yet," Torn shook his head as he started reading over some papers then signing them "Well what about the Freedom League."

Torn thought about it for a moment, "Yeah that would work, I'll tell Ashelin about it tonight."

Jenny nodded then continued sorting the papers.
