Oh my god I am so sorry People of the Internet! I knew I promised I'd have some kind of schedule with this posting but life just got in the way and shit hit the fan and I'm procrastinating school work to post this right now and answer reviews. Said review answers will be at the bottom as always. Also there's a little note under them which you can read if you want. Or you can skip. It's entirely up to you. Love you guys! And QUICKLY! IT'S MY GOAL TO REACH OVER 100 REVIEWS BEFORE THIS STORY ENDS! PLEASE HELP ME REACH THAT GOAL! LOVE YOU, YOU AWESOME NERDS!


DISCLAIMER: I do not own 'Now You See Me' or any of its characters. The only thing I own is a Blu-Ray copy and a lot of spare time with only me, my laptop and my messed up head. If I did own a movie, I wouldn't be writing Fanfiction right now! :P :D


This chapter is dedicated to Brinagirl12. Thanks for your great idea. Hope you like it!


"Instant Pancakes available at a store near you for the cheap price of only $2.89!"

The ad for the pancakes played loudly in the apartment while Jack and Danny ate their takeaway. Chinese takeaway as it was Jack's turn to choose and the boy just couldn't resist fried rice and prawn crackers.

"Mm neber had mamabes bebore." Jack's words are muffled and illegible through his mouth full of fried rice and Danny laughed, nearly choking on his own sweet and sour pork.

"What?" he finally chuckled out after quickly swallowing to avoid being choked to death.

Jack swallowed his large mouthful and gulped loudly before he repeated, "I've never had pancakes before."

Danny raised an eyebrow in chock as he turned his head to look down at Jack. "Haven't you?"

"Nope," Jack shook his head.

"Hmm," Daniel said, reaching his hand to grab more food. "I promise we'll make some soon."


Later that night, Jack and Daniel lay in their bed. Jack rested peacefully on top of Daniel's chest and Daniel himself slept soundly, the rising and falling motion of his chest keeping Jack in his peaceful sleep.

Or at least it should've.

A flinch, nearly imperceptible, but it was still there, ran through Jack's body. It was small and the boy himself didn't feel it as his eyes screwed shut, preparing themselves for a nightmare. Jack had no idea what was coming for him.

But Daniel did.

The small flinch was enough. Daniel's eyes snapped open, immediately drifting down to his chest to look at Jack. He easily saw the first signs of a nightmare.

Hefting himself up, Daniel sat, an arm coming up to keep Jack held to his chest as the other reached for Jack's head. His fingers began the all too familiar motions of running through Jack's hair and Jack's head unconsciously tilted, pressing himself into the contact.

"Wake up kiddo," Daniel whispered softly into Jack's ear. "Wake up."

Jack's eyes slowly flickered open and Daniel sighed in relief. Another nightmare successfully averted.

Jack, whose eyes still showed the drowsiness from his recent sleep, yawned before shifting his head to rest more firmly against Daniel's chest. "Sorry," he whispered quietly, shifting his head to and fro as an offer of apology to Daniel.

"Don't worry 'bout it," Daniel accepted the apology with ease and ruffled the boy's hair before drawing him into a tight hug.

They stayed like that for a while, Jack slowly waking up from his sleep and Daniel holding the boy close. At least until Jack's stomach let out a very loud rumble.

Daniel laughed and Jack couldn't help but start giggling a few moments later.

"Tell me Jack," Daniel began as he stood, keeping Jack in his arms. "Would you like some pancakes?"

The reaction was instantaneous. Jack let out yell of excitement and wriggled his way out of Daniel's grasp, hitting the floor with his socked feet and setting off at a sliding run to the kitchen. Daniel followed laughing his head off, pulling his phone out of his pocket as he did so, typing into Google two simple words.

Pancake recipe


An hour later sees Jack sat on the top of the kitchen bench happily munching his way through a chocolate chip cookie. Also covered in flour and dried egg.

To be fair, the kitchen didn't look much better.

Pans and bowls were strewn all across the benches, everything coated with flour, dried egg and pale mixture.

There was a gloop of pancake mess stuck to the ceiling, ominously dripping onto the floor every few seconds.

And in the centre of it all sat Daniel and Jack, munching on their cookies, looking n better than the kitchen.

Jack swallowed his mouthful of cookie and said, voice filled with snark, sarcasm and cheek, "Thanks for the pancakes."

"Oi!' Daniel shouted, hands placing his cookie down on the bench in favour of reaching out and tickling Jack's sides. Jack squirmed with delight and laughter filled the small apartment, coming both from Jack and Daniel.

Eventually, Daniel's hands slowed and pulled Jack closer to him, the height of the bench allowing Jack to sit in front of Daniel with his back to Daniel's chest, head resting comfortably just under Daniel's chin. Daniel simply held Jack like this, comfortable and secure, as the young boy ate his cookie, unaware of the whirlwind tearing its way through Daniel's head.

"I love you," Daniel whispered, so quietly it was barely heard as he planted a kiss on the back of Jack's head.

There was silence as Jack finished his cookie, brushing his hands free of crumbs before he spun around and threw himself on Daniel, hands clinging tightly to each other behind Daniel's neck. His head burrowed its way into Daniel's neck where he whispered against the skin softly.

"I love you too."


REVIEW ANSWERS:

NotUrAverageMusician:

It was pretty bad, y'know, getting stabbed in the arm. Made it hell trying to play guitar. I'm playing and all of a sudden my arms going, "NOPE! BAD IDEA!" At the recommendation of my older brothers, I've stopped music for the moment. I am feeling better though and I stumbled upon the opportunity of punching the guy who'd done it. Feeling of satisfaction was worth the subsequent wound pain! :P I'm so glad you still think it's amazing and here is more for you.

CinnamonBones:

Hey there! Thank you so much for the compliment. I'm glad you like the writing. And I'm happy to be writing a fanfic which isn't just meaningless smut. I don't actually read stories with smut in them, or at least I try not to. My favourites list would say otherwise but sadly those are my younger sister's reading choices. Sigh. Unfortunately though, we're coming to the end of the Little Jack era. This is the end of him. AAAHHH! Thanks for the cookie!

JackFrost23:

Sure will mate!

Book Girl Fan:

I have been so busy you would not believe. And 110% serious. I got freakin' stabbed. In the arm. With a pocket knife. SERIOUSLY?! Could my life just be any more UGH?! I'm ok now though. But I was actually surprisingly calm about it all. Gabby was laughing at me. Klaus was just doing his frowny face of twinly concern. While my older twin brothers were doing their Smother-Hen routine. It was actually quite annoying, and nice, because a girl can never have enough hugs from her brilliant older brothers :P.

Skylaeatpie:

Thank you for caring. It means a lot that a random stranger would care about my problems. Ranting does relieve stress, I agree. It was a nice opportunity to get it all off my chest without having to do at the psychologist's office like I'm required to do twice a year. Glad you're so excited. It's things like that that keep me writing. Thanks for the talk poppet!

SiriusDancer (For BOTH reviews):

Thank you. I do try my best. I'm not going to give too much away, but Jack will not be running away from Daniel. Mini-Jack is adorable and he's so much fun to write. I'm sad to say that this is his last chapter. Glad you're super excited! SO AM I! (If you can't tell… :P)

Anna:

Thank you so much Anna. I'll try and get my updates out quicker.

BookDancer:

Poor Jack, I know! I don't think anyone likes being sick. Thanks dude!

Book Girl Fan:

I'm glad you liked it much. I was worried that it wouldn't meet your expectations but I'm so happy that you loved it. Your welcome my friend.

GeorgiaSwagMasta3000:

Thank you SOOOO much! I'm glad you got to leave me a review. I'm so glad you're enjoying and thank you for telling me I'm a great writer. It means a lot. Bye!


Just a heads up.

I've had people ask me a few times (not always through reviews or fanfiction. Amazing I know... I have friends!) if this story is going to be Jack/Daniel or whatever their ship name is.

THE ANSWER IS NO!

With this headcannon, there is NO WAY that Jack and Daniel will ever have a… thing. It'd just be weird and wrong and weird and UUUUHHH!

I think it'd be creepy so it's never going to happen. Daniel's practically going to have raised Jack, it'd be like incest and that is DEFINETLEY NOT where I want this story to go.

If anyone's disappointed by this… sorry.
