Rynn dodged her way around flying punches, bottles and people as she made her way to the back of the room where she knew she could safely search for Jack. Her brother kept up with her. Though he was quite a lot bigger than she was, he was just as agile.

"Tell me again why we're in here," Adam said, ducking beneath a flying rum bottle.

"I already told you," Rynn said, standing up on a chair to look around. "There's a couple people I want you to meet." She scanned the room around her. Then she saw a face she recognized in the blur of the action surrounding them.

"Will!" she said, more to herself, but none-the-less Will looked up and saw her a top the chair and a red haired man beside her. He looked strangely familiar…

Will was leaning against a column supporting the roof and didn't budge as Rynn approached.

"Will," Rynn said again once she had passed the danger zone of flying objects and approached him from his right. Even though she knew that the finding of her brother was an unpredictable event, she knew Will would not find it too incredible, so she decided to keep the introduction simple. "This is my brother, Adam."

"Nice to meet you," Adam said. "And how is it you know my sister?"

"I met her in Port Royal. She burst into the Blacksmith's shop where I work during a raid by pirates one night. I didn't have time to ask questions."

"Really," Adam said, apparently deep in thought, "Maybe you knew a friend of mine. He worked at the blacksmith's al well. His last name was Will Turner, I think."

"Will Turner!" Will; said, surprised, "You're speaking to him!"

"Will?" Adam said incredulously, " It can't be!"

Will looked at Adam intently. He knew he had met him before. He just couldn't place it…

"Yep! He's the one!" Rynn said, smiling.

"How do you know?"

"He's the only blacksmith in Port Royal," Rynn insisted.

"Wait. So you did meet him in Port Royal?"

"Yes, of course, did you think he was lying when he said I did?" Rynn said again.

Adam, with no answer, looked back at Will.

"Don't you remember me? I bought a sword from you a few years ago. We were the same age," Adam said, his eyes twinkling.

Suddenly, Will's face lit up.

"Let me see it," Will said, holding out his hand. Adam quickly drew his sword and placed the hilt in Will's hand. Will held it closely to his eyes. It was a cutlass with copper lining on the hilt. The only one of its kind he had ever made…

Suddenly all his memories came rushing back to him. Memories of a young, red-haired boy searching for his parents, the boy who helped him make his first sword, a boy by the name of…

Adam.

Rynn saw Will's eyes light up. He almost dropped the sword.

"Adam?" Will said, looking him in the eye. Adam nodded vigorously.

"Adam, it's nice to see you again! You have to tell me everything that's happened since you left Port Royal!" Will said, almost forgetting to give Adam his sword back.

"Yes, me too, but before we get too carried away, there's one other person I'd like you to meet," Rynn said, hiding her smile, and taking Adam by the sleeve and leading him around the pillar.

Behind it were two people sitting at table with two pints of rum sitting in front of them. One of them, Mr. Gibbs, had seemed to have dried a little since Rynn last saw him. Jack, who had obviously been explaining something to Mr. Gibbs, paused with his mouth open in mid-word as he saw the two approach.

"Ah, Rynn, luv," Jack said, turning from Mr.Gibbs for a moment. "Nice of you to join us. Where, exactly, did you disappear to anyway?"

"I was just outside," Rynn said. She didn't want to go into detail. She knew that Jack had only said the question to be polite, anyway. "Besides," Rynn said. "I'd like to introduce you to someone." At this she stepped aside to reveal the full body of her brother, who's head was already visible over the top of her own.

"Jack, this is Adam," Rynn said indicating her brother. "Adam this is—"

"Jack Sparrow," Adam cut her off. Before Rynn even had time to turn around, a sword flew from behind her and pointed itself a Jack's features. Rynn looked along it to the hand of her brother, holding the hilt. There was an angry, menacing glitter in his eye. His whole body was rigid and his face was frozen in a look of fierce determination.

Jack paid no mind to the sword dangerously close to his nose and rolled his eyes.

"Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack said, putting emphasis on the two "captains".

"You're no captain," Adam said, his voice low, "no pirate could be a captain."

A frighteningly menacingly glare, that seemed to pierce right through Adam, emitted from Jack's eyes. He was serious now, too. Jack was the most intense and furious Rynn had ever seen him. There was no snigger near his mouth or clever retort waiting at his lips. He was going to teach this boy a lesson.

"Adam, what are you doing?" Rynn said in shock, "He's a good man! You've got it all wrong!"

"Not a captain," Jack said, quietly. Rynn saw Jack's fingers fimble near the hilt of his sword and then, quick as lightening, he whipped it out and clashed it against Adam's. "I'm afraid I beg to differ."

With that, Jack swung his sword around at Adam's exposed side with enough force as would knock Rynn over. But Adam, now a practiced sword's man, flicked his sword around to protect himself. At the clang of the two swords, the people around the pub stopped fighting and turned to look at the two men jumping, slashing, stabbing , and parrying. They seemed equally matched and neither gave the other an inch. At one point, the two leapt at one another caught each other's blows on their own sword. Neither was about to back away.

All the while Rynn was standing beside Will shouting, "Stop it! Stop it! Oh yes, that's a really good reason to take out your SWORDS AND START BANGING AWAY AT EACH OTHER! Stop it!" Her voice was rising to dangerously high decibels.

With their faces six inches apart, Adam said, "Foul pirate. I'd been hoping that someday I'd meet you and teach you a lesson. How does my sister know you? Why is she so friendly with you?"

"I, unlike you, didn't abandon her," Jack said in response, a mocking tone now entering his voice, "I, unlike you, didn't leave her behind."

Adam wasn't expecting this. Rynn saw him falter. Jack seized this moment and thrust his sword on Adam's with all his strength. Adam, losing his balance fell over backward and hit a table sending two bottles of rum flying through the air. Both hit the floor by Rynn's feet, one lay unbroken. Suddenly, a spark of a plan formed in her mind.

Adam scrambled to his feet. Now he was frustrated. Now he was even angrier.

Rynn gingerly picked up the unbroken bottle at her feet and snuck around behind her brother, hidden by the people watching the battle in front of her.

The two were circling each other like wild animals, each one the hunter and the prey at the same time. Jack was waving his sword ever so slightly as to be ready for anything. Adam had his hand out for balance, ready to parry any blow that Jack might send his way. Suddenly, Adam broke the silence and began to charge at Jack…but was stopped.

He felt a dull cracking blow shatter on the back of his head as stars erupted before his eyes. He felt a numbing pain envelope his head and then he fell, unconscious, to the floor.

In his wake, stood Rynn, shattered rum bottle in hand, smug look on her face. The crowd around her cheered. She tossed the bottle aside and leaned her knocked-out brother against a different side of the same pillar Will was leaning on.

"What was that all about, luv?" Jack questioned, sheathing his sword as he walked up to her. "He is your brother after all."

"I knew if I didn't do something, one of you would end up killing the other. I'd prefer it not be you, but he is my brother. I can't just let him die, can I?"

"No, I suppose not," Jack said, grinning. 'Thanks for that."

He sat back down next to Mr. Gibbs as though nothing had happened. Rynn seated herself on a side of the pillar that had not already been taken.

"Anyway," Jack said, taking a sip of rum. "You were saying."

Mr. Gibbs had a flabbergasted look on his face. He regained his composer and turned back to Jack.

"What, exactly, were we talking about?" he asked.

"I know where the Black Pearl is, and I'm going to take it," Jack said.

Mr. Gibbs had been taking a slurp of rum when Jack said this and he spewed it all over the table.

"Jack," he said, shaking his head, "it's a fool's errand."

"Good thing, I'm not a fool then, eh?" Jack said grinning.

"Prove me wrong!" Gibbs retorted almost simultaneously, "What makes you think Barbossa will give up his ship to you?"

All this time Rynn had been listening to this conversation intently, staring at her feet.

"Let's just say it's a matter leverage," Jack said as though he was carefully picking out his words.

At this Rynn looked up, surprised. Was she the leverage? She looked up at Will and saw he was giving Jack the same look, which he didn't see, before turning back to watching the brawls that had continued after Rynn had knocked out her brother.

She saw Gibbs give Jack a questioning look. Jack twitched his head towards the pillar that the three, (Rynn, Will, and the knock-out Adam) were leaning on. Gibbs gave him even more of a questioning look.

"Huh?"

Jack made his nod more and more evident until Gibbs got the idea.

"The kid?' he asked. Jack nodded.

Who were they talking about? Rynn thought. "The kid" could mean any of them.

Jack said the next thing so quietly Rynn couldn't hear it. She did see Gibbs's face light up.

"Is he now?" Gibbs said, obviously intrigued about what Jack said.

Oh, so it's a he, Rynn thought, it's obviously not me.

"What about the lass?" Gibbs asked.

Rynn was definitely listening now. She made it look like she was fiddling unconcernedly with something on her boot.

"She may come in useful, but she be a help none-the-less. She's as much of a pirate as you or I." Gibbs was obviously satisfied.

Rynn felt her heart swell and couldn't help but smile.

"Ah, I'll find us a crew," Gibbs went on, returning to their previous subject. "There's bound to be some people on this rock crazy as you."

"One can only hope," Jack said, raising his pint of rum.

"Take nothing back," Gibbs said, raising his own.

At that, the two hit mugs, took a gulp, and smacked each down on the table at the same time. Rynn wasn't sure what it meant but she felt the whole other part of her adventure coming to a start.

Whew! Sorry it took a while for me to get this chapter up. School just started and I've been pounded with homework. I did my best to get it up even when it wasnt that fast of an update.

I have a question for all those who review.

Do you think Rynn has become a bit, I don't know, wishy-washy? Do find this story less entertaining? For some reason I find the addition of Adam has kinda made the story less fun. Do you think so? let me know in a review and I'll try and fix it next chapter.

Thank You to: ThunderBenderPricess, Butwhyistherumgone (Sorry if I didn't write that right!), Jousting elf with a Sabre, Andromeda Potter, -Jack is Back 2007-, dangerous addiction, kamooi-of Black fire glow, and Queen of Randomess! You guys rock! You keep me writng. All those who read and don't review, you better thank them because it's because of them that you still have a story to read! Well, not really! I'm persistent! I'd keep writing anyway! But you guys still rock!
