Chapter One:

Just as the guy in front of Jack turned, lifting his gun, a redheaded blur bowled him over before the man's finger reached the trigger. Bobby rushed to the door in time to see a girl with bright red hair snap the guy's neck with a vicious growl. She grabbed the gun, checked it out in a matter of seconds and tossed it to Jack.

"You're getting soft, J," she hissed.

Seven identical little boys with pure black eyes, guns resting on their backs, came from behind the Mercer house. That's when the shit hit the fan. Jack took a shot to the shoulder and leg, the little boys dragging him out of the way. The redhead blurred from her spot over the man who's neck she snapped, up to the man who shot Jack, dislodging the gun from his hand with a kick. She wrapped the lifted leg around the man's neck and brought it down, smiling when she heard a crisp snap. She looked up and toward the Mercer house, her cat eyes locking on Bobby. Take care of Jack was all that her eyes said before she turned to the men who approached.

"What is she doing?" Angel called to Bobby over gunfire.

"What she and Jack were made for," Bobby called back, adding, "take Jerry and Sofi and follow the boys who dragged Jack off. I gotta pull her ass out of there."

"Why?" Sofi stopped him with a hand on his arm.

"You saw her eyes, did you see that?" Bobby sighed, adding softly while looking out the window, "she doesn't plan on coming out alive."

..

Jack looked up to see Angel, Sofi and Jerry. The boys around him tensed.

"It's okay, guys," He said to the boys, who just went back to what they had been doing before the trio found them.

They had been patching Jack up before the other three came up, so they went back to that. Jack looked at them, then looked around.

"Where's Bobby?"

"Pulling your chica out of the line of fire," Sofi answered.

Jack cringed and it wasn't from the X7 that was patching him up.

"Sounds like Reno," He sighed, "always trying to get herself killed."

...

As the body of the last gunman hit the ground, Bobby approached her, albeit carefully. Reno breathed heavily, covered almost head to toe in blood, very little of it hers or so she thought. She was beginning to feel weak and she didn't like it. She felt someone coming up behind her and braced herself.

"Jackie's okay," He said softly, reaching his hand out to her.

She turned and Bobby supressed a gasp. She looked like she just walked out of a body double audition for Carrie. He noticed that she had a few nicks on her arms, but nothing serious...unless you count the blood loss from the grazes on her left shoulder. She looked at Bobby's hand, then the knife in hers before holding the knife out to him, handle first.

"Some kids with black eyes dragged him off," Bobby told her and Reno looked relieved.

She dropped her other weapon and smiled softly before her eyes rolled up into her head. Bobby caught her before she hit the ground, bringing her into the house where Angel, Jerry and the kids moved Jack.
