Pitch's POV:

I walked out of my lab to go to Jacks. Tooth had given me permission to examine the burns to possibly have more insight on what attacked Jack. As I neared Jack's room the big kangaroo was sitting outside.

"What are you doing here Pitch?"

"Easy kangaroo Tooth gave me permission to look at the healing burns to see if whatever attacked Jack left anything behind, like a calling card or finger print.

Without letting the overgrown rabbit answer I entered the room. It hurt me to see Jack like this, with wires hooked up monitoring his heart along with an IV drip and oxygen tubes in his nose. I went to his bed side and started examining the burns on his arm when out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw Jacks hand twitch I watched for a few minutes and nothing happened. I was about to turn back to what I was doing when Jacks hand twitched again few seconds later a low moan came from Jacks lips I ran to the door and yelling at the rabbit.

"Go! Go get Tooth!"

"What happened?!"

"Jack…Jack I think he's waking up!"

Bunny ran off to get tooth…hopefully. I went back into the room and sat by Jacks side, taking his hand into mine I watched Jack as he slowly came round. Jack tried to speak but nothing came I grabbed a glass of water that was on the night stand. I maneuvered Jack into a Propped up position without hurting his as I brought the glass to his lips.

"Drink slowly so you don't get sick."

"…W…Where?"

"Where are you?"

"Yes."

"You are at the North Pole and Tooth should be here soon."

"How long…"

"How long were you out?"

"Yes"

"You have been out for almost a week."

"…"

"Jack?...Are you Ok?"

"I hurt all over."

"You were burned pretty badly. Speaking of do you remember the color of the flames?"

"Why the bloody hell do you need to know that mate?"

I turned towards the door and the oversized rabbit and Tooth were in the door way.

"Because you daft rabbit if I know that I can narrow my search from a few thousand to a handful of fire beings!"

"By all that pearly white would you two stop fighting!"

"He bloody started it!"

"Well I'm finishing it!"

"…So…frost bite what in the bloody hell happened to you before Pitch found you?"

"…I heard a child crying went looking. I found her she was crying but could hear and see me. I touched her shoulder and she changed and fire came at me everything became dark and all I could hear was her fleeing and laughing. I stumbled as far as I could and I knew only one person who was close enough to hopefully help. So let fear out and hoped Pitch came…he did and now here…so tired…"

"Jack we'll let you sleep as soon as you tell me the color of the fire."

"It…It looked like… (Yawn) a regular fire."

"Good we'll let you sleep now."

"Thank you Pitch…"

I blushed as Jack thanked me. I have never been thanked before and truthfully it felt good. I walked back to my lab finding the others following. We entered my temporary lab as Tooth spoke up.

"Pitch what was all that about the color of fire?"

"In my realm fire abilities are very powerful and different colors are different power levels and how much damage they can do."

I motioned for Tooth and the rabbit to sit as I set up a chalk board.

"Ok ill make this as simple as possible so even the oversized kangaroo can keep up."

"I'm a Bunny boogie man."

"Guy's what did I say earlier. Pitch please continue."

"Ok fire beings/spirits 101: Fire can be broken up into seven categories blue, green, yellow, orange, red, white, and black. Black and White are the highest of fire holders and masters of it there are only a handful in each and most hold positions in society (Chef, Lord/Lady, Governor/Governess, etc.) Red, orange, and yellows are the most common because there like the middle class of society as the Black and White are the high class. But even though they are strong there not as strong as Black and White. Green and Blue are the poor class there are few of them due to the fact no other color wants a weakling in there line. There have been a few times were there was mix but not many. If Jack would have told me he was burned by a blue or green then I could have healed him in a few weeks. Red, orange, or yellow two months to three months. Black or White it would take ten or more years. The situation worsens for the fact that his eyes were burned so it will take longer. But we have some clues form Jack to who his attacker is. The attacker is female, mix flame color, form slider, and the fact she laughed when she fled. There is only one being like that, a Spit Fire."

"Pitch will you be able to heal Jack or make him more comfortable?"

"For the time being I can make him comfortable but as soon as I get the ok from you and the other guardians I would like to try healing him."

"Now hold on their mate how are you going to heal him by everything you have told us there must be something else you haven't said because as North would say I can feel it in my gut."

"…There is. You have to be the same color rank or higher to heal."

"Pitch…Can you even do that?"

"As a matter of fact Tooth I can."

"What color are you mate?"

I held out my hand and white flames engulfed it shocking both of them.

"I am a very special case for I am like Jack in so many ways."

I walked out of the room back to Jack's just barely hearing Bunnymund and Tooth.

"What in the bloody hell did he mean by that?"

"I know…He became what he is through tragedy like Jack."

~Six days later~

It was a few days later when Tooth and the guardians gave me the ok to start the healing process on Jack but on the condition that someone stayed in the room I didn't care. I tolled all of them how the healing process would go then they picked who would go first in the end they picked Tooth then Sand, Rabbit, then lastly North. Tooth and I walked into Jacks room while Tooth sat down on the other side of Jacks bed as I sat beside him. I rolled my sleeves up and I placed my hands over Jack's sleeping form. I let my own white healing fire out slowly. Four hours later I had sweat covering face and when Tooth told me to stop I should have listened I went on for two more hours till I collapsed having Tooth rush out of the room and grabbing the oversized rabbit.

"Bloody hell mate what did you do to get yourself like this?"

"…Hit my limit but kept going then went to the point of exhaustion…should of listened to Tooth."

"Bunny let's take Pitch back to his rooms."

"Tooth how are Jacks wounds? How did I do?"

Bunny paused as he too wanted to hear how I did and how much Jack has healed. Tooth turned and unwrapped Jacks arms I waited in the arms of the rabbit waiting in anticipation.

"Around the edges of the burns are healed about 1/3 of the original outside rims of the burns are healed nothing more than what would appear as bad sunburn. But there is no change in the burns around his face and eyes."

"Area's still too sensitive to suddenly heal… would cause unnecessary pain."

"Bunny tack Pitch back he is falling asleep in your arms."

Bunny took me back to my room and laid me down as I closed my eyes seeing the rabbit at my door I heard a silent whisper.

"You did good."
