AN: Hey everyone thanks so much for all the positive feedback so I'm going to post this next chapter really quickly. I don't know when I'll be able to post again this week but I'll do my best. Once again none of this belongs to me…he we go
Steve:
Steve Rogers was not having a good day. He had hoped that after fighting in World War Two, getting frozen in ice for seventy years, and then getting thrown into another battle but this time against aliens, he would get some time to just relax. Sadly though, he was mistaken.
The day had started off with a new mission from Director Fury, which in itself wasn't such a bad thing. He had been on a few missions since the invasion and even some with the other Avengers. This one though he knew was going to be different. All of the Avengers had been called in. Even Thor was there after being summoned from his visit with Jane Foster.
According to the Director a possible new threat had turned up on SHIELD's radars. In a place called burgess unusual weather patterns had been reported that were only affecting that area. This unusual weather included extreme sudden drops in temperature, high winds, and large amounts of sudden snow. Most of the extreme weather could even be said to be concentrated towards a single street. Along with that, reports of a mysterious boy that apparently only children could see has been luring children out of their homes to "play". The children also clam this mysterious friend of theirs goes by the name of "Jack Frost" a mythical creature even Steve has heard of. Most of the town's people wrote these stories off as wild imaginations but SHIELD's reports showed that the high levels of snow were not from natural sources and posses "unearthly" qualities. SHILD suspected that the source of the snow could be related to the stories so the Avengers were called in to investigate.
The plan was for Steve, Clint, and Natasha to investigate on foot and question the towns' people. Meanwhile Tony was to scan the skies and area in his Iron Man suit for unusual readings. All of those readings were to be sent back to Bruce who was in the Helicarrier's labs for examination. Thor was to remain with Bruce for Back-up considering he wasn't really the best when it came to stealth. There wasn't an obvious threat yet so there was no need to alarm the public with a Norse god running around their streets looking for "Jack Frost."
Everything had gone according to plan until Steve came across a group of kids having a snowball fight in the streets. He wanted to ask the kids questions about this so called Jack Frost so he had gone up to the eldest looking boy there. He looked to be in his teens and was by far the most animated of the bunch there. He was throwing snow balls with much more speed and accuracy than Steve had ever seen before. The much younger children he was playing with didn't stand a chance. The boy's appearance was a bit of a shock to Steve, and not because of his height and scrawny figure or even his crystal azure eyes filled with delight and snow white disheveled hair. It was the fact that despite the below freezing temperature, the boy was only wearing a hoodie and some thin pants. No gloves, no hat, no scarf, not even shoes. Also clutched firmly in one hand was also a long wooden…branch? How the boy was not a Popsicle was beyond Steve and all he wanted was to take the boy inside, plop him in front a fireplace, and force him to have a steaming cup of hot chocolate in order to bring some color back into his ashen face. Instead he called out to the boy.
Immediately the boy froze and after a beat the boy slowly turned to face Steve, a questioning look in his eyes. He pointed to himself with his mouth hanging ajar. The sounds of the game died down until Steve had the attention of all the children around them. Steve frowned at the unusual reaction and silently pressed a button on his ear piece that alerted the other Avengers to his location. Then he raised his hands slowly and let out a nervous chuckle. "Hey I didn't mean to ruin your game or anything but I just thought your friend here might be a little cold." No one moved if anything the boy in question became even paler at the statement.
"You can see Jack?" one brave boy called out from behind a snow fort. The question only confused Steve more but at the same time warning bells had begun to go off in his mind. His name is Jack and the kids think I shouldn't be able to see him. Steve saw Tony flying in from behind the boy and he prayed that he didn't do anything stupid.
"Of course I see him, and I also see he isn't wearing any shoes. Maybe he should dress warmer so he doesn't catch a cold."
The brave boy just laughed at that, "oh that won't be a problem for Jack." At that, so swift that if Steve had blinked he would have missed it, Jack pelted the boy with a snowball. Steve hadn't even seen Jack make a snowball.
"I think you all should go home now." Jack finally spoke up, his face perfectly calm. All the surprise was gone from his voice, or was masked for the children. The children began to whine at that but Jack just laughed and promised he would be back to play later. Once they were alone Jack turned back to face Steve, weariness edged with curiosity were plastered unabashedly on his face. By then the other Avengers had arrived and had surrounded the boy at discrete distances. "Well it was nice of you to see me but I really think I must be going." The boy quickly spurted and made a move as if to run away but before he could the other three stepped out of their hiding places.
"I wouldn't do that son." Steve cautioned but the boy didn't listen he took off running. Tony blasted off a warning shot at the boy but he just went faster. Steve heard the sounds of Tony preparing to fire again and before he could stop him Jack did something that stopped him mid breath. Jack jumped and just kept flying, yes flying. Tony too was in shock but it was due to that shock that what was supposed to be a warning shot that went high over a running target actually hit a flying one. Steve watched in horror as the boy dropped to the ground limply. He didn't even notice he started running towards the boy until he reached down to check for a pulse and felt the deathly cold skin. His heart stopped for a second before he realized no skin could become that cold just after dying and therefore it was mostly likely from the snow the boy was freezing. Steve felt a pulse and sighed with relief, the boy was alive by the looks of it unharmed. He was just unconscious.
They took the boy back to the Helicarrier where he was examined by a medical staff that was at the ready. While they waited Fury chewed out Stark for mishap that could have taken the boy's life. It was during his rant that one of the doctors came rushing in breathless. Fury quickly left the room with the doctor to emerge again a short while later. Things moved in a blur for Steve after that. Between test results, arguing, and a lot of chaos it was decided that the boy was indeed not human and might very well be the mythical Jack Frost. The boy was removed of his tree branch that for some reason had been taken with him to be tested and then he was moved into the old cell that once housed Loki. It had been replaced after Thor…broke it the first time. Shortly later Thor left to consult Asgard… and he returned with Loki. Let's just say he would have been happier to let Tony fly around using civilians as target practice than to see Loki.
AN: Well there it is my second ever chapter. It did not go at all where I had planned and was also a bit of intro stuff and was still kinda short but I swear the next one will actually get to what I think will be the good stuff. Once again thank you for all the nice reviews and follows, they were what got me to actually sit down and write this today. Tell me what you think
