Chapter Ten
Clothes were scattered all over the ground. On the bed was a little bit of ice, the sheet were a bit burned and in the two bed lay two people.
Elsa awoke to the sun shining in her face. She yawned and sat up.
"Good morning, boss."
Hans was sitting up too and was smoking a cigarette.
"Morning..." Elsa went with her hand through her blond, loose hair. "Time?"
"It's 6 o'clock. Early."
"Good." Elsa grabbed the cigarette from his mouth and put it in her own mouth.
"You could ask." Said Hans.
Elsa pulled the cigarette out of her mouth.
"Say Hans, you asked Jack to accompany us, didn't you?"
Hans chuckled. He rolled around in the bed, so that he was on top of her. Elsa blushed and looked away.
"I did." Whispered Hans. His hand went from her neck to her breast to...
"Hans..." Said Elsa. "Maybe we should...get...get...up..."
She closed her eyes and squirmed when his fingers went down her genitalia.
Her breathing accelerated. She felt that it was getting warm between her legs.
"Ah...ahh..." Elsa put her hands against his chest.
Hans pushed his lips against hers. He forced her mouth open and tongued her.
Ice erupted from Elsa when she reached her climax.
Hans rolled back and lay on his back.
Elsa caught her breath. She sat up and looked at Hans who sat up as well.
"God, I hate you..." Panted Elsa.
"I know Elsa."
"Why did you invite Ja...I mean agent Guardian? He is a newbie, he can't protect me."
"He can. Look, Elsa, I've seen his reflexes. He was able to defeat you...and if he doesn't do his job well, then we can at least use him as a decoy."
Jack was running to the office. He had an exam this morning and was one hour late.
He tried to call the office, but they didn't pick up.
Jack dashed into the building. He stopped in front of Peter's office and knocked onto the door.
Peter opened the door up and shoved some papers into Jack's hands.
"Moon, take these to miss Winters office, they are the records of agents and make sure to tell her that I can't take on the assassination tomorrow evening, I have a wedding of some friends to attend to."
"Sorry, I'm..."
Peter slammed the door shut into his face.
"Late..."
Jack sighed. It looked like the guy didn't care. He walked with the papers to Elsa's was perfect, now he could talk her about her rendezvous with Hans. He thought that it was wrong to cheat in the relationship.
Wait, what should he say? Should he knock? Or just walk in?
"Excuse me...can I come in?..." Jack shook his head. He put his fist against the door and knocked.
"Come in!" Yelled Elsa.
Jack opened the door and stumbled into the office. Elsa was sitting behind her desk, buttoning her blazer.
"E...miss Winters, I have here some records of the agents..."
He put the papers onto her desk with a thud.
"Oh and Peter said that he didn't have time for tomorrow's evening assassination..."
"Right and why doesn't he have any time?" Asked Elsa.
"He has a wedding to attend too..."
"Aha, of course. Dammit!" She stood up and walked over to him. "This stupid blazer...agent Guardian, can you help me?"
"Help you?"
"Yes, do I need to repeat myself? I need some help with this blazer, I can't get the last buttons on."
Jack chuckled. After all these years she was still a clumsy girl.
"Sure."
He buttoned up the last buttons with his hands.
"You know...Hans asked me to accompany you to the party." Said Jack while he was busy with her blazer.
"I heard. Don't worry, I'm fine with it...even though I wonder why he would ask you..."
"Hm?" Jack was done and stepped back. Elsa looked up at him with a serious stare.
"You do realize that it's a dangerous job, don't you? Look, you can just walk away from this job and go back to your normal life..."
"Yeah...no dice..."
Elsa narrowed her eyes. "What?"
Jack put his hands into his pocket. "Sorry, but I'm not leaving you. Not again."
"You are endangering your family-"
"I live on my own."
"What if you get hurt?"
"I'm a stallion."
"Oh my god, you are so annoying!" Yelled Elsa.
"You still care about me, don't you?!"
"Shut up, stupid Jack!" Elsa gave him a push against his shoulder.
"Hey!" Jack pushed her back.
"Hey, don't push your boss!"
"I wasn't pushing you!"
"You were!"
"No, I..."
A knock on the door caught them out of their argument. Elsa quickly stepped back and so did Jack.
"Come in!" Yelled Elsa.
Tadashi walked in. Jack noticed how he had gotten a bit older as well.
"Oh, Jack! I heard that you were working for us now!"
He looked very excited.
"Miss Winters, the project is finally done and it's working!" Said Tadashi.
"Oh my god, really?" Asked Elsa. "Let me see it!"
"Okay, follow me!"
Elsa walked after Tadashi with Jack close behind them.
They walked down the hall into the office of Tadashi. It was very messy, unlike the other offices.
A white big, robot was standing in the room. Hiro was also there, looking up and down at the thing.
"What is Hiro doing here?" Asked Elsa.
"I had a free day!" Said Hiro. "Plus, I wanted to be there when Baymax finally works!"
"Baymax?"
"Yes, miss Winters! We call him that!" Tadashi put with his finger onto the 'on' button.
Baymax eyes flutter open.
"Is it...alive?" Asked Jack.
"Hello my name is Baymax. I detect two, no, four people in this room." Said the robot.
Elsa stepped forward. "Whoa...can it fight?"
"Nope, Baymax was designed to care. Baymax was programmed with considerably impressive strength and the ability to store a massive amount of data, making him highly intelligent in several fields, should he take the time to access the information. He is also programmed with 10,000 different medical procedures and equipment, such as defibrillators equipped in his hands and an antibacterial spray that is dispensed from his fingers. His body is also equipped with a heating system that warms anyone lying on him."
"Whoa..." Said Elsa. "Is it-"
"I detect that you are a Natural." Baymax pointed his arm at her. "Should I exterminate you?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Tadashi jumped in front of her. "You should not! That is Elsa Winters! You are programmed to serve her!"
"I am programmed to recognize certain people. Including Elsa Winters." Baymax put his hand down. "I am sorry for threatening you. How can I make it up?"
"Uhm...so can it lift some boxes or something?"
"It can! Baymax, move that chair."
"Alright." Baymax started to move towards the chair. But very...slowly...
"Uh..." Jack cocked his head. "Doesn't he need to move a bit quicker?"
"Baymax, move faster!" Said Hiro.
"I am not very fast." Said Baymax.
Elsa put her hand against her forehead and groaned. "Tadashi, just get the robot fixed. I'm going back to work."
"Yes, Miss Winters."
Elsa left with Jack following close behind her. She went back to her office and sat behind her desk. Jack grabbed a chair and sat next to her.
Elsa noticed him sitting next to her. What did he want?!
"What?" Said Elsa.
"I need to talk to you. You see, last night Hiccup and I encountered you and Hans...I mean mr Westerguard."
"So?"
Jack stared at her. She was frowning, like she used to do...
"Uhm..." He coughed. "I...I uh, hear that you two are making love together?"
Elsa huffed. "Making love...we don't...make love...look, it's none of your business."
"It is when it's involving my-"
Elsa jumped up. "I'm not your sister anymore!"
Jack stood up too. He looked down at her. "Elsa..."
"Things have changed...it will never be like it was. I'm not that little girl anymore and you have grown up too."
"You're right." Said Jack. "We both grew up. But...I..." He clenched his fist. "I don't want to give up on you. I was thinking about you everyday."
"You were?" Whispered Elsa. Did Jack really think about her?
Jack grabbed her cold hands. "I was..."
Elsa stared at him. Jack really became handsome. He wasn't that little boy who used to irritated her and hug her out of the blue...okay, he was still annoying, but he was more mature...?
"...Thinking if you grew in your chest area..."
Elsa pulled her hands back. She grabbed a paper, rolled it up and hit him over his head. "Shut it, idiot!"
"Come on, I was kidding!" Yelled Jack.
"Kidding?!" Elsa put the paper down. "You are still so immature!"
"I'm not! I am very mature!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
Elsa gathered icicles in her hands.
Jack rolled his eyes. "Oh please as if I'm afraid of your powers, I've seen them and they are not impressive, snow monster!"
"What did you just call me?!"
"Snow...mon..."
Peter was walking down the hallway. He was wondering if Jack was able to give Elsa the papers...
He was almost by her office when a giant explosion appeared in front of him.
Jack flew against a wall and slid down. Elsa was standing in the doorway of her office with a red face.
"And stay out!" She slammed the door shut.
Peter chuckled. He ran over to Jack and helped him up.
"Thanks..." Muttered Jack.
"What happened?"
"The usual. I say something and Elsa almost kills me. Don't worry, she used to do this when we're kids."
"Aha...say Jack, one tip, don't get into her business. If you do, then Pitch is going to come after you and break you. Trust me."
"Mr Pan, Elsa and I were pretty close. I don't want to give that up, just because Pitch has her. I'm not afraid of that jerk."
"You should be..."
Jack ignored him and walked back with him to his office. The hallway was very long...
He thought about when Elsa was small. He would always look out for her and pull her into a sudden hug.
I wonder if she still has her scar...wait, of course she still has her scar! How stupid of me! Thought Jack.
"Okay, so tonight is our first assignment. You ready?"
Jack looked at Peter. "Y-yeah...sure..."
To be honest, he wasn't ready at all.
Not for murder.
Elsa was sitting behind her desk when the door opened up again.
She groaned in annoyance. If Jack came back here...
"Hey, what's up!"
It was Raven, also know as agent December.
"Hi Raven..." Said Elsa.
"So...I heard that you threw Jack against the wall." Raven sat down on her desk.
"He was annoying me, so I threw him back with an ice beam."
"Elsa..."
"I didn't do anything! Jack was calling me a snow monster!"
"And you..." Raven giggled. "Geez, you two are so childish!"
"We're not! I seriously can't believe that Hiccup hired him! Jack is an incompetent, dumb, idiotic..."
"You still love him."
"Raven! I don't love him! I only love you and Anna!"
Raven jumped from the desk. "What about Pitch?"
Elsa kept quiet. She opened her laptop up.
Raven whistled.
"Pfew...well, about the party; I will pick you up and bring you. The others will meet us there. They will follow your direct orders, but also every move. If anything happens, then we will defend you."
"I don't need anyone to defend me."
"Yeah, right. Anyway, I'm picking you up at 6:30. The dress code is gala."
"Are you going to buy me dinner afterwards?" Asked Elsa with a teasingly grin.
"Oh, only if you wear something slutty, dear!" Yelled Raven. She left the room and shut the door.
Elsa giggled. Raven could be so funny at times...she looked back at her laptop and continued to work.
Pitch was at home. He was behind his laptop, taking care of some business when he heard the doorbell.
He stood up and opened the door up. It was Hans Westerguard.
"Hans? What are you doing here?" Asked Pitch surprised.
"May I come in, mister Winters?"
Pitch chuckled and let him in. "Not yet, mr Westerguard."
Hans looked around. It was such a big and clean house. It was very nice. But of course it was. Elsa was the Ceo of a big company and Pitch owned a chain of coffee shops.
The two men sat down on the couch.
"What is it?" Asked Pitch.
"Tomorrow is the party. And Jack Moon is accompanying us to it."
"Alright, I see..." Pitch chuckled again. "Let me guess, he is head over heels?"
"You guessed right."
"You do realize that you can manipulate him? If you convince Elsa..."
"Then we have someone who will do everything for us..." Hans laughed. "Oh, what a great idea!"
"It is, Westerguard. Did Elsa sleep with you tonight?"
Hans rolled his eyes.
"Come on, of course she did. That girl is just as weak as she was when I first met her. She has a big mouth, but a weak heart..."
That night Jack was sitting on a rooftop with Peter.
Peter was opening a briefcase. Beneath them was another house. And in that house was their target, reading a book. The window was open, so they had a good shot.
Peter pulled a gun out, a a sniper rifle. He grabbed a silencer and put it on the gun.
"So...it's a beautiful night." Said Jack.
Peter was done. "It is." He pushed the gun into Jack's hands. "Agent Guardian, take the shot."
"What?"
"Do I need to repeat myself? Hans learned you how to use a gun, right?"
Jack nodded.
"Then let's take a shot and get it over with! I have some dinner in the fridge at home and I want to warm it up before I starve to death!"
Jack shakily pointed the gun at the target. He looked at Peter.
"Peter...is this alright? I mean...if this goes wrong...and it's murder."
"It's our job."
"I know...but-"
Peter sighed. "Look, if you get this job done, then you're in. If not, then Elsa will fire your ass faster than you can say her name."
Jack nodded. He looked back at the target. He had to do this. This was his job now.
He closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.
The gun went off. It felt a bit heavy in his hands when it went off.
Jack opened his eyes again.
The body of their target lay on the ground. Blood was spilling out of his head.
Jack felt his heart sink. He lowered his arms. The world felt like it was slowing down. In a bad way.
"Good job." Peter took the gun from him and put it back in the suitcase. "Let's get down."
Without a word the two climbed down with a ladder. They jumped down onto the street.
"Hey..." Peter gave Jack a slap on his back. "Do you wanna grab a beer?"
"Didn't you want to go home?"
"Nah, come on, let's grab a beer together. You need it."
"R-right..."
Peter took Jack to a local pub, that somehow was still open at this hour. They sat down and ordered two beers for themselves.
"Hm..." Said Jack when he took a gulp. He really needed it.
"When I did my first kill Tadashi took me to this pub as well." Said Peter. "With Elsa."
Jack put his beer down. "With Elsa?"
"Yeah..." Peter chuckled. "We got pretty drunk...you should have seen Elsa, she started to sing and dance on this very bar!"
Jack laughed. "Really?"
"Yeah! We had a really good time! I still have a picture of it..."
Peter grabbed his phone and showed him the image. Elsa was up in the bar. Her eyes were glazed and she was holding a beer in one hand.
"But I never blackmailed her, I swear!"
"Do people do that a lot in the company?"
"Some guys. Hans would probably do it. And...just never mind. Tomorrow is the party, huh?" Peter took a big gulp and let out a burp.
"Yep."
"Good luck. One tip; don't let Hans keep you away from Elsa. He might be using you as a decoy or human shield."
Jack swallowed nervously. Peter didn't noticed and took another big gulp.
Little Anna took a few steps back. A big guy with dark hair stood in front of her.
"What did you do?!"
All the other children in the orphanage took a few steps back.
Anna shrieked. "I...I..."
She accidentally spilled a glass of milk onto the floor. And today this big man was here. This guy was never nice. Everyone was afraid of him.
"Anna!"
A little girl with blond, messy hair ran to her. It was Elsa who grabbed Anna's hands.
"Anna, are you okay?"
"I spilled some milk, I-"
Elsa hushed her. "Ssshhh..." She stepped in front of Anna and looked at the man. "I spilled the milk."
The guy grinned evilly. "Of course. A fucking Natural like you is the culprit."
"No, Elsa..." Whispered Anna.
The big man pulled Elsa up by her arm. Elsa yelled in pain. She felt her arm snap a bit. Anna yelled her name, but to no avail.
The man threw her against the wall. Elsa slid down to the floor. Her old brown dress teared a bit and her head hurt.
She saw the man pull a knife from his pocket. Elsa tried to crawl again, but he pulled her back by her ankle.
"ELSA!" screamed Anna.
Elsa shot up. Sweat was dripping down her back and she was panting heavily.
That horrible memory always found a way into her dreams. As she calmed herself down she looked to her side to see that Pitch was gone to work.
She got out of bed and dressed into a white t-shirt, blue blazer and a dark skirt. She had no other combinations left.
She put her hair in a bun and grabbed a quick sandwich from the fridge, but before she could grab her suitcase the doorbell rang.
Elsa walked to the door with the sandwich in her mouth.
She opened the door up. When she saw who it was her heart skipped a beat.
It was Ariel!
Her old friend from high school. She lived in the neighborhood and was the only friend Elsa had. She never saw Merida and Tiana anymore. Not because they weren't friends, but because her friends left town for their studies.
Elsa quickly removed the sandwich from her mouth. Ariel was no longer a geek. Okay, she was, but she lost her glasses for lenses and her hair was now a bit straighter.
"Ariel! What are you doing here?"
"I thought that you might wanted to grab some breakfast together before work. You know, like we did in high school."
Oh yeah, that was right. When they were studying they would always grab a quick breakfast at a local coffee shop.
"I see...then, let me grab my suitcase before we go!"
Ariel laughed. Elsa quickly grabbed her suitcase and the girl walked to the local Starbucks.
There they ordered two latte machiato's and two bagels. The girls sat down at a table.
"So..." Ariel looked at Elsa. "I heard Jack Moon is back in your life."
"Yeah..." Elsa broke a piece of her bagel and put it in her mouth. "But..." She swallowed it quickly. "I don't care. He is just an employee to me."
"As if. What happened yesterday with him?"
"I...I threw him against a wall with my powers. But he was annoying me!"
"Poor Jack. He always gets the short end of the straw."
"What do you mean?"
Ariel smiled. "Nothing." She grabbed her coffee and took a big gulp. Elsa decided to ignore it. She grabbed her coffee too and drank it up.
After that Ariel went to her own work and Elsa went to the company.
"You're late."
Elsa just got into her office. Hans was leaning against her desk with a look of annoyance.
"You're just early."
"It's 7:30 am. I expect you here at 7."
"Hans, it's..."
"You do realize that you can't be late, especially as a boss, do you?!"
"Hans, I-"
"Do you?!"
Elsa swallowed. "Yes, sir..."
"Where the hell were you?!"
"I was drinking with a friend."
Hans scoffed. "Drinking? I hope it wasn't wine!"
"It was coffee, excuse you."
"Yeah, right. Just go and do your job like your dad used to."
Hans stormed out of the room. Elsa slammed her suitcase onto her desk.
Fuck my life. She thought. Fuck, fuck, fu-
"Miss Winters?"
Elsa turned around. Hiccup walked into the office.
"What?!"
"Tonight I can't accompany you to the party. Instead of me, Tadashi will go with you."
"What is your excuse?"
"I...I uh, I have a birthday to go to-"
"Of course, a birthday!"
Hiccup noticed how it slowly got a bit colder in the room. "Uhm..."
"How about you go and take off right now! How about you stop working here?! Now unless you want something important, get the hell out of my face!"
"Yes, ma''am."
Hiccup quickly ran out of the room. He ran back to his small desk in a small room, which he shared with Jack.
Jack looked up when Hiccup slumped down in his seat.
"Hey, did you get her to tell her?" Asked Jack.
"I did. But it was not a good timing. She was pretty mad." Said Hiccup. "I guess that mr Westerguard tore her new one since she was late."
"Elsa was late?" Now Jack got a bit worried. Why was Elsa late? Did something happen to her?
"Yeah. Traffic or something I guess."
Jack sighed. Thank goodness...
Hiccup chuckled a bit.
"What?" Asked Jack.
"Nothing...it's funny how much you still care about her."
"I...oh shut up."
Hiccup laughed as Jack kept glaring at him.
It quickly became night.
Soon the company was closed down for the night. Every assassin either went home or to a night job.
Jack, Hans and Tadashi were waiting at the front of a big building for Raven and Elsa.
They were all wearing suits. Jack looked on his watch. It was already 7 pm.
"They're late." Said Hans annoyed.
Tadashi pointed to a black Hyundai driving towards them.
"There they are."
The Hyundai stopped in the street. Raven stepped out, she was wearing a dark small dress. Elsa stepped out too.
Jack gasped.
Elsa was wearing a short, blue dress with high stilettos and she was holding a small black purse. Her hair was up in a high ponytail. She was wearing dark blue eye shadow and lipgloss.
A valet took the keys from Raven and drove away to park the car at the nearby parking lot.
Hans whistled. "Damn. Girls, you two look stunning."
"Thanks." Said Raven. "You boys look pretty good too."
Elsa noticed how Jack was staring at her.
"What?" She asked.
"N-nothing..." Whispered Jack with a blush.
"Right...come on, let's go."
They walked into the building. Elsa gave her name to the bodyguards by the door and they were let in.
The party was really busy. A lot of important people were dancing and chatting about their businesses.
"Ah, look who we have here!"
A man with short blond hair and stale blue eyes walked towards Elsa. He was a bit taller than her, but smaller then Hans.
The man was wearing a blue suit. He smiled as he stood still in front of Elsa.
"That is mister Spegill." Whispered Raven to Jack.
"Miss Elsa Winters, it's truly a pleasure to meet you!"
Mr Spegill bowed down. He grabbed her hand and planted a kiss onto her hand.
"It's good to meet you too, mr Spegill." Said Elsa.
"Please, call me Eduard."
"A-alright..."
Eduard stood up straight. He looked at the Jack and the others. "This must be your bodyguards?"
"These are a few of my employees. As you must have known, my company deals in assassination. A few of my employees with me won't cost me any bodyguards."
"I see. Walk with me, miss Winters."
Elsa and the others walked after him to a buffet table. Eduard grabbed a small macaron.
"Macarons are really tasteful, don't you think?"
"I suppose..." Whispered Elsa.
Eduard smiled. He was very calm. He put the macaron down and held his hand out.
"Shall we dance?"
"I would love to." Said Elsa with a fake smile.
Eduard Spegill took Elsa up the dance floor. He held her hand into his hand and the other one onto her back.
Raven looked a bit nervous. "Come on..." She whispered.
"Raven?" Asked Jack.
Tadashi leaned closer to him with a small smile.
"Elsa has a scar on her back, remember? If she gets upset..." He looked on as Elsa somehow remained calm. "...Phew..."
Jack remembered. But he always touched Elsa on her back when they were little. Maybe it was more with new people?
"My company is very interested in yours." Said Eduard.
Elsa looked up from her feet to him. "Right. I already read that in your email. You deal in assassination as well, am I right?"
"That is right. I oppose that we can help each other out in the future...but more importantly...I also wrote in my email that I'm an Ice Natural too."
"Yes, you told me. That's why I was very eager to meet you."
"Me too, you are even more beautiful then what they told me."
Elsa blushed a little. "T-thank y-you!"
Eduard grinned. "It is truly a pleasure to meet you in person. I've met your father years ago."
"Aha..." Elsa looked at him. The guy seemed about in his 40's.
"Maybe one day you can show me your powers?" Asked Eduard.
Elsa swallowed nervously. "I...uh...maybe..."
Eduard slowly went up and down with his hand on her back. Elsa held her breath. She didn't like this.
"Is something wrong?"
Elsa didn't hear him. She only felt his hand going all over her back. All over her scar.
"Of course. A fucking Natural like you is the culprit."
No, no! She didn't want those memories to repeat! Not now!
"Anna, are you okay?"
"I spilled some milk, I-"
If this would go on...she would lose control...
"Elsa!"
They stopped dancing and looked to their side to see Jack.
"What is it?" Asked Eduard.
"Mister Spegill, I think Elsa would like to change dance partners for now."
"Oh? Would she?"
Elsa stepped away from the man. "Y-yes...sorry, but we've been dancing for very long. Plus, some other guests would probably like to talk to you."
Eduard nodded. "Alright then, I suppose we can continue our talk later. For now, I will talk to some other guests."
He walked off. Jack turned back to Elsa and grabbed her hand.
"J-Jack?" Muttered Elsa.
Jack pulled her close. He put one hand onto her waist and with the other he held her hand.
"Raven forced me to dance with you. Everyone saw how uncomfortable you were getting."
Elsa sighed and smiled. "Raven...I swear, she keeps saving my life..."
Jack grinned and they started to move with the music.
"What were you two talking about?"
Elsa raised her eyebrows. "Come on, that's confidential."
"Fine, then don't tell."
"I won't."
"Good..." Jack blushed a little. "S-say , t-this is the first time we've danced..."
Elsa became flushed too and looked away. "R-right..."
The two kept quiet. Raven, Hans and Tadashi looked from the side.
"How cute..." Whispered Raven. "They are just like two teens..."
"Haha, yeah. Maybe those two will end up together." Said Tadashi.
"Yea-"
"Guys." Interrupted Hans. "Look at that man over there."
He pointed at an unknown man in a dark suit. He slowly drew a gun from his pocket and pointed it towards Elsa.
"Shit, I knew this would happen!" Yelled Hans.
People in the room started to panic. Some moved out of the way. Elsa and Jack both looked confused to the side.
"Elsa!" Yelled Raven. She put his hands onto the ground. So did Hans.
Fire and ice shot out of the ground in front of the man. He stumbled a bit back and his gun went off.
Jack pulled Elsa close to his chest when he heard a gunshot and jumped away. The bullet missed it's target and flew into a wall.
Jack flew against the ground. Elsa held him tightly.
The man who tried to shoot them growled and looked annoyed at Hans and Raven.
"Evacuate the building!" Yelled Mr Spegill.
All the guests ran to the outside. Jack stood up and dragged Elsa with him. But there were a lot of people who were pushing through the doors and Jack lost her for a second. He quickly ran back inside, only to find Raven, Hans, Tadashi and mr Spegill and his bodyguards.
"Jack! Where is Elsa?" Yelled Tadashi.
"I...I don't know!" Yelled Jack. "I'm going to look outside!"
Without a word he ran back to the outside. He looked frantically around, but he didn't saw her.
Elsa looked around. People were all around her, but she didn't see Jack anymore.
"Jack!" She yelled.
A minute ago she still felt his hand in hers. Now he had disappeared without a trace. Where was that idiot?
Okay, maybe she should just head back inside. But...no, she couldn't! The guy who tried to shoot them was still inside. She should head back to their car, which was still in the parking lot. There she should wait for the others.
She quickly ran to the empty parking lot. The black Hyundai was still standing there.
Elsa took a deep breath. Now she just needed to wait here...
"Miss Winters?"
Elsa turned around. Three men in dark suits walked towards her.
"Y-yes?" Asked Elsa.
One of the men smirked. He slowly drew a gun and pointed it at her. "If you would like to come with us?"
"Come with you? Sorry, but I'm waiting for someone..."
"That wasn't a request."
Elsa narrowed her eyes. She took a few steps back.
"Again, would you-"
"Stay away!" Yelled Elsa. An ice spike flew out of the ground close to the guy. He stumbled back, but fired a shot at her.
A wall of ice shot out of the ground and protected her from the bullet, which got stuck in the ice.
"Watch out!" Yelled one of the men.
Elsa ignored him. She put her hands forward and stared with an angry look at the man.
One of the men shot another bullet at her. Elsa shrieked and quickly jumped out of the way. She fired an ice beam at the men, but they all dodged it.
"Looks like she can fight."
Elsa ignored them. She quickly made another wall of ice as the men shot at her again.
Shit, I can't get away from them! Thought Elsa. I can try for a close attack...
Elsa took a deep breath. She held her hand out to her side. The ice wall started to get a bit loose from the ground. Elsa started to run with the ice wall moving with her. The man kept shooting, but every bullet either missed or got stuck in the ice wall that was protecting her.
She got close to the men. She threw the ice wall away, made a dagger out of ice in her hand and slashed it at the man.
The guy was hit in his chest and fell down to the ground. Elsa looked at the other men...or man...wait, there was only one, weren't there two...?
Suddenly she was hit in her head. Elsa fell down to the cold hard ground.
"What a bad fighter." Said the man who hit her over her head.
Elsa turned around. She saw the guy slowly pointing his gun at her.
"I'm not..." Elsa held her shaking hand out. The man smirked and suddenly grabbed her wrist forcefully. He pulled her up.
She closed her eyes as he was just inches away from her face. He smelled really bad.
"Everyone hates people like you, miss Winters." Said the guy. "Naturals who have everything..." He chuckled shortly. "Naturals shouldn't even exist."
He put his gun against her chest.
"Now, let's finish this."
"Hey!"
The two men looked around.
Jack was standing behind them. He shakily pointed his gun at them.
"Get away from her." He said with a low voice.
The men laughed at him.
"Who is this?" Asked the men holding Elsa. "Your boyfriend?"
Elsa kicked him down his crotch. The man doubled over and released her. Elsa quickly ran over to Jack.
"He is not my boyfriend!" Elsa looked at Jack. "I lost you, where did you go?"
"You lost me? I lost you in the crowd..." Jack sighed. "Never mind. Who are these guys?"
"I don't know. But I guess they are here to assassinate me."
The man stopped coughing and looked at them. He immediately raised his gun. "Get out of the way boy. We are only here for Winters."
Elsa quickly made an ice wall. The men started to shoot again.
She looked at Jack.
"Jack, we need a plan, now!"
Jack lowered his gun. "Okay, okay, okay...I could fire..."
"Wait." Elsa put her hands against his chest. She put her hands together and created a long stick made out of ice. "Here."
Jack shivered when the cold item fell into his hands.
"I saw you fighting with a stick." Said Elsa. "Use this."
"Elsa, they have guns." Jack flailed with his arms up and down. "Guns!"
"Jack, come on, I can't hold this wall up forever!"
Jack sighed. He clenched the weapon in his hands. "Fine. But if I die it's your fault."
"I know. I'll create some ice dust to blind their vision."
"Okay."
Elsa stepped away from him. She put her hands up. The wall disappeared and dust appeared all over the ground.
The two men couldn't see a thing. Jack used this as a change.
He ran forward towards the men. He raised his stick and hit one of the men in his side. The other man fired at Jack, but he missed. Jack hit him against his head. The guy fell unconscious to the ground.
The mist cleared. Elsa took a deep breath and lowered her hands.
"Whoa..." Jack walked back to her. "That was pretty cool!"
Elsa raised her eyebrows. "Cool? We almost got killed!"
Raven, Hans and Tadashi ran into the parking lot.
"Elsa, Jack, are you alright?" Yelled Raven worried. The three stopped running when they saw that the three men were on the ground.
"We make a good team!" Said Jack. He looked at the others. "Guys, you should've seen her! She made an ice wall and an ice stick and then she made ice dust and I hit those guys and-"
"Calm down, Jack." Said Elsa. "We got lucky."
"Lucky? We defeated them in one whip!"
"Calm down, Agent Guardian." Hans looked at the men. "We were indeed lucky. These weren't some guys who tried to kill Elsa, these were skilled assassins."
Raven sighed. "Yes. They were...do you think that mr Spegill..."
"No, he wouldn't." Said Hans. "He wouldn't endanger his own guests or sabotage his own party...I think."
"You think?" Elsa narrowed her eyes. "Get your head together, Westerguard. These guys were here to eliminate me. We can't single anyone out."
Mr Spegill ran towards them with a few bodyguards behind him.
"What happened?!" He yelled worried.
"Nothing. Just some goons who tried to attack Elsa, but one of our agents stepped up and defeated them." Hans looked at Jack. "And he did a pretty good job for himself."
"Thank-"
Elsa put her hand onto Jack's shoulder and shook her head.
"Good. Then you can leave, miss Winters." Said Eduard. "I'll take care of these bad guys."
Elsa nodded. She and the others said their goodbyes and walked to the car.
"Elsa."
Before she could step into the car, Raven was already in the front seat, Jack stopped Elsa.
Elsa looked at him. "Hm?"
"Just...do you have my number?"
"N-no..." Elsa shook her head. "Why?"
Jack pulled his phone from his pocket. "Do you want it?"
Elsa grabbed her phone too. "Sure. Give me."
"Alright..."
They switched numbers and Elsa and Raven quickly drove off after that.
"So..." Said Raven while they drove. "What was that about?"
"What?"
"Come on, you two switching out numbers! What are you, teenagers?"
"What?" Asked Elsa. "I was just giving him my number, just in case!"
Raven stopped the car in front Elsa's house. She looked back at Elsa.
"Els, you know how much he cares about you. Just...be careful."
"Don't worry, Raven. Now, I'll see you on Monday."
"Good, take care."
Elsa stepped out and Raven drove back.
