~Tony Stark~
Tony was watching the kid curiously as everyone else argued about the situation quietly. No one wanted to wake the poor kid. Tony had already figured out that these Guardians were people he had always thought of as fairy tales. He smiled as he thought of just how wrongly the media had portrayed these childhood icons. A Russian man with sabers and tatoos who claimed to be Santa Claus, a human/hummingbird hybrid female who spoke about a mile a minute and was obsessed with looking at people's teeth and claimed tobe the tooth fairy. Then there was the 6 foot Australian rabbit with boomerangs and a bad attitude that claimed to be the easter bunny. Lastly, there was the 4 foot man made of golden sand, who spoke with sand images above his head and claimed to be the sandman.
He looked at them and shook his head at the idea that he was actually surounded by people who weren't supposed to exist. He blinked and looked back atthe child in the bed beside him and stared in shock as the childs skin began to turn to ice. His clothes changed to ice armor that was the common clothing for Jokul. The crown of ice slowly grew in his frozen, spiked back hair. The room grew quiet as everyone stared in shock as Jack slowly changed into Jokul Frosti.
Somewhere in the background he could hear that Pitch fellow mumbling something like 'believe me now? Stupid Guardians...'
~ Jokul ~
Jokul could feel the frigid cold air around him and for the first time in far to long, he took a deep and long overdue breath. He smiled a little even as he felt the stares of the people around him. He didn't care, he was alive and determind to find Seraphina and speak to the spirit whom he owed so much to. He slowly openned his icy silver eyes and looked around at the people surrounding him. He sat up slowly and tilted his head curiously and smiled. "Is there something on my face?"
That broke the trance everyone was In and suddenly he was being pinned down by four Guardians as he yelped in confused surprise. "What are you doing?! Has common curtacies been abandoned since I last woke?! Or did you learn manners from the fire demons?!"
Itwas clear by their expressions that they had no idea what to do. Jokul groaned in annoyance before relaxing under them and staring at the ceiling as he conversed with his other selves on what to do. He sighed but nodded his head slightly as he agreed to try Jack's suggested approach first. "Look, I know you do not want to hurt me and I definitely do not want to hurt you. So just let me go and we can talk through this. I am not here to fight nor do I want anyone to get hurt. I only came back to speak to an old friend and to apologize for what I did. Pitch I swear if you try to put one more shadow in my head I will freeze you where you stand and trust me, my ice will not melt."
Everyone turned to look at Pitch who looked visibly nervous at the threat. Jokul was surprised when the hands holding him down began to let go. He smiled gratefully as he sat back up and looked at each of the Guardians before looking at the Avengers. He stopped and stared atthor before smiling and letting out an icy laugh. Not in a cruel or emotionless sense but in the unexpected and surprising way. "I do not believe mine eyes! Thor! Long has it been since last we met! To think young Jackson had me thinking you were long dead! Oh, what a most welcome surprise this is indeed! Tell me how is Lord Odin doing these days? Well I would hope."
Everyone stared at Thor bwho laughed in surprise. "Jokul indeed this is a surprise. My father is indeed doing well. Thouh I must ask, how is it you are here?"
Jokul smiled and nodded seeming lost in thought. "I have always been here. Now, as much as I would enjoy spending my days here with you Thor Odinson, I am afraid that I have much to do and very little time. I must find here before I am tooo late." With that Jokul snapped his icy fingers and vanished in a cloud of soft snowflakes.
