Lea groaned to herself once Jaime had left. She really didn't want to go home, but knew she would have to eventually. Her father would be beyond furious already since she was late coming back. So she muttered "goodbye" to Jack and headed towards her house. When she got there, she could see her father waiting for her on the porch. She hesitated, knowing that it would be a long night. She took a resigned breath then walked up onto the porch so she was standing with him. "You're late." He commented. She nodded and said "I was out with a couple of friends." She was on the ground before she realized her father had lifted a hand. The middle of her chest was on fire from the pain. It took her a moment, but she finally realized that her father had punched her square in the chest. "LIAR" he screamed at her. "Who in their right minds would want to be friends with a worthless, good-for-nothing nothing like you?" he growled. "Now tell me where you have really been!" he ordered, aiming a kick at her. But as his foot left the ground, he slipped. Lea looked up as a patch of ice appeared under his feet. She looked over and saw Jack through the porch window. He looked at her and pointed at the door urgently. The message was clear 'get inside'. She nodded and painfully stood up, making her way inside quickly before her father was able to get up and stop her.
Jack had followed Lea home, to make sure she got there safely, and to make sure she was safe once she was there. Just as he arrived he saw her father yell at her and hit her. Jack felt his anger rising within him. Beating a child at all was horrible, but trying to kick her when she was down? That was completely barbaric! His temper flared and he felt himself slipping into a mode where his only desire was payback. So he made a patch of ice appear under that man's feet, making him fall heavily. He motioned for Lea to get inside. Then he made frost on the door to give her a few seconds head start as her father struggled with the door. He felt like harming the man, but it was forbidden for spirits to intentionally harm a mortal, so Jack left the man outside and ran inside to check on Lea. He stopped outside her room and took a moment to calm himself down so he didn't frighten her. Heck, he even scared himself when he got angry, especially when it meant his hidden powers can come to play if he ever lost control. Hearing Leas' father coming, he sighed and ran down the hall and flew out an open window.
