A/N: Hello yes I realize this past chapter is extremely confusing, and I want you to know it is intended to be. I hope it wasn't to awful, but don't worry, all is going to be explained. Thanks for comments and likes and all that jazz! I really appreciate it!

Elsa

"No, no way. You're to emotionally involved." Bunny demands, sparking my anger.

"THERE MY KIDS!" I shout. "I'm a trained soldier! I can handle this!"

"You're only just begging at being a soldier, one, and two, no you can't. Emotions are the strongest weapons and weakness humans posses. It destroys and conquers and it can rip you apart from the inside out. You know that. No." Although Bunny is rudely blunt, he is right.

The fact that he's right makes me even more angry.

"You'd let Jack go!" I argue.

"No, he won't be going either, nor Kristoff. You will all sit here so if it is a trap, we can avoid you getting lost. We already have two missing kids and a complicated conspiracy against you that we don't even know anything about. You're staying put if I have to chain you to this hospital."

"You can't just keep me here! I know those kids more than anyone and I have to go! I have to help!" Honestly, I have no valid reason why I have to go other than I can't stand to know where they are and not go for them, but I'm too angry to care anymore.

"You want to help? Go ask those three guys any questions you can! We know absolutely nothing right now, and it'd help if you could clear things up! I have so much to deal with right now I don't need your emotional baggage to add to that! Want to help? Go check on Jack! Go interrogate! Don't just sit there whining about wanting to see those kids! Guess what? You don't always get what you want! You don't always get to see who you want!" This is the scary side of Bunny. The determined, angry, stubborn side.

I want to scream at him, even if the words were all lies. He may be my commanding officer, but I'd still yell a million lies at his face. Before I can, I here a voice from behind me.

"He's right Elsa. We can't go." He says, exiting the hospital entrance into our outside screaming squall.

I cross my arms, and tighten my jaw. I tap my foot, and huff in frustration.

"We'll leave in an hour. I've selected a small but amazing team members to go find this place." Bunny calms down, but he talks to Jack.

I'm too pissed to look him in the eye.

"Well, can I at least know who's on the team who's finding those kids for me." He says calming, but I know he desperately wants to see those kids.

"There's a team of 5. Hiccup is going to be our brain, finding the place, and determining if we should even attempt entering. Astrid and Meg will be out spies. They're going in, finding the kids, and radioing in if we can enter in too. Hercules and I are there for shooting anyone who dare touches those kids. Not too many kids are being born since the apocalypse started, so if we want another generation of humans, we'll need to keep our kids safe."

Bunny is intelligent in a very stupid way. He is blunt and straight forward, but he speaks truth and doesn't mind the outcome. He seems secretly sensitive about loosing people, especially kids. Maybe he just has a soft spot... if Bunny could even has a soft spot in his solid heart.

"Alright. Thanks, Bunny. We appreciate it." Jack says, like he's speaking for me.

"Whatever." I scoff. While yes, him getting MY kids is great, I'd much more appreciate helping them myself as well.

Bunny walks away, not even commenting on my comment. He walks towards the permanent Hospital where I guess people who need a lot of help go or something. I've only been in there once, but I only went to get Bunny.

"Ugh this is stupid." I complain.

"Look, don't take it personally. He's dealing with a lot." Jack tries to aid.

He's very good at keeping calm, and not exploding over stupid decisions made by men named after a rabbit or something.

"Everyone's dealing with a lot. It's not an excuse." I say, and for once, I think I said something intelligent.

"Yeah, I guess I never put it that way... but he made his decision for a reason. He knows the danger of being emotionally involved in something." Jack tries to reassure.

"He doesn't know squat about emotions. I doubt he even feels pain." I keep complaining.

"Elsa. He knows pain." Jack says in a tone that shines a light on Bunny, projecting him as a broken human being. I refuse to believe it.

"What does he know about pain? He's just pointlessly excluding me." I argue.

"Elsa, people don't do things without reason. And if you knew his story, you would know he has felt pain. A lot of it. You should try to listen to him. It's kind of hard at first, but he taught me a lot, and he could teach you a lot to." Jack says calmly.

"I'm to angry right now, Jack, I swear I'm going to punch through a wall or something." I grunt.

"Okay, well make sure to hit an abandoned building. In the mean time, I'll be in the Interrogation Building trying to sort everything out. You can come if you want." Jack offered... sort of.

"Fine." I say, but fine never means fine.

"So, it that a yes?" He gives a soft smile, but I keep my arms crossed.

"I guess." We walk together, heading through the streets now decorated in a sunrise.

I have to admit, the dawn is always an amazing sight. It blasts colors I never knew existed, and sheds beauty I've never seen before.

"It's so pretty..." I think out loud.

"It really is." Jack sighs, looking at me.

"Sometimes I wish I could be a sunrise." I say.

"Really?" He asks, interested. "Why so?"

"Because they're beautiful. Each second brings new amazement, and it's interesting to look at. It makes you feel okay about life, and everything horrible seems to fade away. I don't know... I just wish I could be like that sometimes."

"You already are." He says after a pause of silence.

"Don't lie." I admit. I don't want a compliment. I can't be beautiful. If I was beautiful, then everything would be different. Everything would be better.

"I'm not lying. I'd never lie to you." He answers with a soft-spoken voice. It almost seems genuine... but I know I'm not what he says I am.

I shrug my shoulders, unable to answer with words. It was very nice of Jack to say such things, but I don't think he sees me for me. Ugly. Useless. Pointless.

"Look, I know you don't see it, but you already are a sunrise. You're so beautiful and have a million amazing things about you. I just- you're prettier than the sunrise." Jack somewhat utters out.

I feel a warm feeling into my heart, like an old clock has decided to tick again. I felt flood rush to my checks. I'm unsure what to name this feeling, but it's nice. It's comforting... but it's new. I didn't know this was an existing feeling, so I'm sure it's only temporary.

"sure." I shrug. I don't feel like arguing with Jack about how this. It's pointless, because he can't change a fact.

Jack sighs. I'm not sure if he's annoyed with how boring I am, if he's tired, or if he's just sad I don't see whatever he sees. It could be a combination of both. But all in all, I guess he's viewing me as something I am not. I don't mind too much, since the compliments makes me feel something. Even if it is a lie.

Jack

I can't believe she doesn't see it. It's right there, yet she sees nothing. Her beauty is undefinable, and yet she views herself as nothing. I know she has some flaws, but we all do. Her flaws are just adorable and pretty.

She is the moon that illuminates the sky. She is beautiful and amazing, yet she cannot see it. I guess the most talented and gorgeous people don't see themselves as anything. I guess that's what the world likes to do. It convinces the most brilliant that they are stupid. It destroyed any light it sees. It ruins the most amazing hearts.

Elsa follows me into the prison-holding building. We head up to the second floor, since there's still a mess on the other floors from a day ago. I grab a file on a desk that is labeled for this case. There's little to go by, but we try to piece some things together.

"It's not Pitch, right?" Elsa asks.

"No, but I don't know much. There's so many questions, and hardly any answers. We can try to lay some solid facts out, but if they get our kids, they might know more things." I say, realizing my words.

Our kids? They are. I mean, not really ours ours, but we still protect them. We still love them together. She loves them before she loves herself. They are our kids. We will fight for them. I will fight for Elsa.

It was only four or five hours of waiting, but the anxiety and nervousness made it feel like days. Then, they showed up. Bunny- his crew, all of them. And our kids.

Elsa ran to them before they could take two steps into our building, and tears stained her cheeks as she hugged them both tight. I hugged them close as well. I hugged all three of them close. I love them all. I love those kids. I love Elsa.

After a few moments, Elsa whipped her happy tears away. She had a faint smile. One in which I wanted her to hold forever. One of true happiness, but now I have to focus on sorting this mess.

"Now, I know you just got back, but I need your help, okay?" I kneel down on one knee and ask the kids.

"With what? We can try." Jamie said willingly. He seemed a bit roughed up with dark circled owning his eyes and a sore body no doubt, but he was always willing.

"I need you to tell us about the guy who took ya'll. Anything will work. Just tell me anything." I say as Bunny snaps for someone to get a recorder to record the answer.

"It wasn't a guy." Sophie whispers in her high voice. Elsa picked her up, hugging her and just loving on her. Elsa knew how to comfort her.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yeah, it was an old lady. She had really curly black hair, and she had a red dress. She talked to these guys who wore black stuff, and she told them to look for a red cloth. I don't know if that works, but she told them. She told them she wanted Rapunzel... that she wanted revenge. I don't know, but she was telling him about who her insider is when they made us get into a van, and then we went to where Bunny found us. And... that's all. Remember where the lady's place was. I pretended to be asleep when they drove us away, but I saw the way. I remember things pretty good." Jamie said, whispering towards the end like he was holding back. I assumed he was just tired.

"Thank you, now let's get you both to the apartment. You must be exhausted." I said, grabbing Jamie's hand.

"What's exhausted?" Sophie asked Elsa as she carried her. They followed me out the building.

"It's when you're very very tired." Elsa said calmly, in a voice tone I'd never heard... but it reminded me of the way my mother spoke to my sister. I swallowed hard, pushing away those thoughts.

We arrived to the apartment, and we set the kids down in their room. Jamie fell asleep almost immediately, but Sophie didn't want Elsa to leave.

"Elsa, please. I don't want her to take us away again." She begged.

"Don't worry, Sophie. We're here. We'll protect you. Now go to sleep little monkey." Elsa joked, lightening to mood.

"Okay. I love you Elsa. And Jack too." She said falling asleep.

"I... I love you too." Elsa whispered, shutting the door.

Elsa

I shut the door, and sit on the couch next to Jack. I don't know how to feel, or why I'm not scared of those kids.

"You're really good with them." Jack says.

"I guess." I start. "I see myself in them. I see how scared they are. How horrifying the world can be to kids. I know what they feel like, being small in this giant world. Everything bigger and more powerful."

"We'll take care of them. We can make them feel not-so-small, okay?" Jack asks, stretching his arm around me, pulling me closer as to where I'm leaning on him. I don't mind this.

"We have too. I can't let them feel this way. It'll break them. It broke me." I stare off into the distance, because when speaking such truth, it's scary.

"You're not broken. Elsa, you're amazing." Jack tries to compliment me, but it's not true.

"No, I'm not. I am broken. We all are. We have been broken by everything we've been through. It's just the way it is." I say.

Jack sighs, but he doesn't respond. I rest my head against his shoulder as his fingers trace my right arm.

"We're going to get through this. Tomorrow, we'll let Jamie show us the place this lady is, and we'll figure it all out. It will be okay then." Jack says, and his voice calms me.

His voice makes me not feel so shattered and small. His voice makes everything calm. So calm, that I fall right to sleep on his shoulder.

I open my eyes to see where I ended up. He arms are wrapped around me, and we are lying down on this small couch. He smiles when I look up at him, but I just get up embarrassed.

"I-I'm sorry. I guess I just haven't really gotten much sleep and I just sorta collapsed. It won't happen again." I say, buzzing up to see the gorgeous purple glow of a night sky. How long were we asleep?

"No, it's okay Elsa. Really, I don't mind." He says, smiling like an idiot and staring at me with wide eyes. ?

"Why are you staring at me like that?" I ask.

"Because you're just so beautiful, and I can't help it." He sighs.

"Well cut it out. We have work to do, and we only have so much time to prepare for finding this lady who stole my kids." I sass. I don't mean to be so rude, but it's all I can do.

I don't believe his comments being true, but I know he's not a liar. He shows affection for me and I don't know how to handle this. No one's ever shown such affection to me. I can't figure out how to respond, so I just hope he'll cut it out.

He sighs, and get's up. "It's 5:14am. We have a few hours before the sun's up, and even more time before the kids will want to get up. Who knows when Anna and Kristoff will be back from the hospital. You'd think they'd be back here since the kids are back. And-" I cut him off with a loud shush.

I was walking around as he spoke, and I saw Anna's door creaked open.

"Shush! They are back, but they're asleep." I whisper.

"haha, I guess they went to bed after we all did." Jack laughs.

"Don't you dare wake them!" I loudly whisper. "Just go cook breakfast or something. I'm gonna go and get the evidence from the political building. Try to plan a team to go to this lady's place."

"Let me go get the evidence. You can't go alone, someone might still be after you." He offers.

"I can handle myself, plus Jamie said they were after Rapunzel... and I can't cook." I whisper and at the last part, I barely let myself say.

"What?! No way!" Jack bursts as I shush him.

"Look, I was never really taught okay. Just, let me go okay. I'll be fast. 20 minutes, tops." I whisper, heading to the door.

"Elsa, wait." Jack grabs my arm, pulling me into him. We are barely an inch apart, and I stare into his eyes, which are quite beautiful. "Please be careful." His face is so close to mine.

"I will." I say, keeping my eyes stuck on his. Something inside me feels that weird feeling again, and my cheeks feel hot. I hate this.

I head towards the door, and I'm about to close it when Jack says one more thing.

"Promise?" His round eyes are like a puppy dog.

"I promise." I say, shutting the door. I stay outside the door, and I let myself bite my upper lip and smile like a googling idiot.

This feeling is odd. I feel so safe. So free, and so... so loved. It can't be true. We're friends, that's it. I can't love a man. No. The men in my life are the reason why. I never liked Hans much, but if that is what love is supposed to be, I don't want it. My father says he loved my mother, but he constantly brought her down, and destroyed her. I don't want a part of that. I've had to much of that.

I know Jack couldn't hurt me ever... but love is a burden. I'm already carrying to much.

I'm already too broken.
