Elsa was in the shooting range shooting at paper targets, trying to increase her skills. One of the major factors of being a Guardian was you had to be ready to kill somebody in the blink of an eye so she had to make sure she could hit someone and take them down with one shot.
And as of right now she hadn't been doing a very good job. Half of her shots completely missed the target and the others went in area's like the chest, abdoman or even worst the arm or leg. She had been trying so hard to get a head shot for the past hour but has had little success. After running out of ammunition for the tenth time she threw down her gun and stomped over to the bench in frustration.
"Oh this is impossible." Elsa griped to herself, "I will never get this."
"What seems to be the problam?" Elsa suddenly heard Jack's voice say. Elsa turned and saw Jack standing over her, he had apparently came in to check on her progress.
"I can't get the hang of this gun!" Elsa complained "I keep trying to get a head shot on these stupid targets but the blasted bullets keep going everywhere but where I am intending them to go."
"Don't feel bad Elsa, nobody gets the hang of it the first try. You just need to keep practicing." Jack said sitting on the bench beside her.
"I have been practicing for the last hour and nothing has improved."
"Your problem is you are trying too hard." Jack said "I was watching you from the window and noticed you were way to stiff and that was effecting your shot. You need to loosen up a little, relax." Jack then gets up and offers Elsa her hand and helps her off the bench. "Here, I will show you." Then Jack walked Elsa over to the target range and had her take a shot the same way she had been for the past hour. After Elsa only hit the right shoulder of the target Jack noticed her body was way to tensed up and she only had one eye open.
"See your problem is you are way too tense." Jack said "You are like a statue and it is causing you to miss your target." Jack then grabbed Elsa's arms, and loosened them up a bit to get them in a more relaxing position. "Loosen up your arms a bit and open up both of your eyes it will help your aim out tremendously." Jack also noticed that Elsa's back was staightened up like she was in the military.
"Your whole posture is way too firm." Jack said as he wrapped his arms around Elsa's abdomen and pushed on her belly to try to loosen up her posture. "You need to relax, if your body is too firm you are never going to be a good shot. Loosen up, relax and keep your body at a comfertable position, then you will get your shot. Now try again with how I showed you."
Neither of them noticed Rapunzel staring down at them threw the glass window at the front of the target range. She noticed Jack put his arms around Elsa when showing the proper way to fire a gun and she did not like it. Rapunzel didn't care if Jack refused to have a actual relationship with her or not she still considered him her's. And in her opinion this new girl Elsa was getting in between of them. She already didn't trust her already as it was, she still considered her nothing more then a pesky reporter and nothing was going to change that. But now that she was getting close to Jack made only gave her more and more reason to dispise her, and she swore she was going to watch her every move.
Back inside the shooting range Elsa followed every instruction Jack showed her, she loosened her body up and kept both eyes open, she then looked at her target and aimed at it's head and fired. And to her surprise and relief she actually got her head shot.
"I did it, I actually did it!" Elsa said with excitement.
"See what did I tell you." Jack said "Just listen to my instructions and soon you will be as good of a shot as Merida."
"Well I don't know about that, I have seen Merida in the target range, she can hit a hundred target's right between the eye from a mile away, with a bow a that."
"Yeah well Merida used not to be as good a shot as she is now either."
"Your bluffing." Elsa said surprised.
"No it's true. She used to be as inexperianced as you. But she practiced every day for about four hours a day until she became the best as she could be, and now there isn't a target she can't hit. You will get the hang of it Elsa, as long as you continue to practice everyday and follow my instructions."
"Well I don't no if that is possible." Elsa said
"What do you mean?" Jack said
"I may be a Guardian now but I still have a life back in New York." Elsa said "A job, a family. I mean my dad's a cop for god sakes and if I don't show back up to work after my allowed vacation time he will expect something is up and send out a search party. And it will only be a matter of time before he traces me back here. Is it possible to still be a guardian and have the life I had before?"
"That's kind of a tall order to ask for Elsa," Jack said "Every Guardian here gave up there entire life to join me. Many of them had families to just like you but they gave it up to be apart of this."
"I know but none of them had father's who were cops specilized in hunting people down. The whole reason I came here was because of my job and I can use that as a way to continue to come back here and train and if necessary go on missions with you. I can use my job as a cover up for my activities but I must be careful as long as my dad is still trying to hunt you down. Please Jack the only way to keep us both safe is to allow me to continue with my real life in and only be a member in secret."
Jack sighed as he thought Elsa's proposel over and after a couple minutes he agreed. "I have never allowed any member of my squad permission to go back to their regular lives. But if you believe it will keep you and us both safe then I will allow it."
"Thank you Jack." Elsa said giving Jack a hug.
"But," Jack added "As a result I want you while you are on the job to look up any suspicious activities that you see and report it back to me. If you know of any hunting trips I want to know about it, If you see online any reports of poaching or habitat destructions report it back to me immediately. Remember you are a Guardian now and need to honor that title at all cost."
"I will." Elsa said "Trust me."
"Then I will accept your proposal." Jack said.
Elsa smiled and hugged Jack again before getting up and leaving the target range. Once Elsa left she was suddenly blindsided by a very upset Rapunzel who grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.
"Is this going to be a regular thing with you people?" Elsa asked once she was pinned against the wall.
"Shut up!" Rapunzel said "You may have everyone else fooled I am not quite convinced yet. You intrude our home looking for answers on how we run things and a few weeks later you expect us to accept you as one of us?"
"Jack and everyone else seems to trust me." Elsa said
"Well I don't and let me tell you Elsa I will be watching your every move and if you dare lay one hand on Jack and it won't be Merida who will be killing you but me!"
"Oh I see how this is." Elsa said "You see me as a threat. I heard about your little one night stand with Jack."
"You don't know anything about mine and Jack's relationship." Rapunzel said
"I know that you are wishing for something that can never happen, that Jack doesn't love you the way you want him too, and that you are too madly in love to accept the truth. Admit it Rapunzel, Jack will never love you like you want him to."
"Shut up!" Rapunzel screamed as she put her right hand around Elsa's throat and started choking her.
"Do you really want to explain to Jack why you killed me?" Elsa said in between breaths as Rapunzel's grip around her neck was increasing more and more, and Elsa was starting to choke.
Rapunzel stared deep into Elsa's eyes and knew that Elsa had a point, Rapunzel couldn't just kill her without reason no matter how bad she wanted to. Rapunzel then let go of Elsa and allowed her to catch her breath.
"And just so you know." Elsa said as she caught her breath. "There isn't anything between me and Jack, but I guess you really don't care do you?"
Then Elsa marched off leaving Rapunzel gasping in shock about what she nearly did. She nearly killed a fellow guardian just out of jealousy. Sure she didn't truly trust Elsa yet but that wasn't why she attacked her, she attacked her out of jealousy because she still wanted Jack and saw Elsa as compition. Shocked and horrified over her actions Rapunzel stormed off to her room, locked the door and buried her head in her legs and wept.
Back in the states, Elsa's father was re watching the horrifying video that the Guardians broadcasted to the world. Pausing it every couple of seconds to see if there was any clues that they could gather that would lead them to the Guardians. Sergeant. Winters had been studying the footage for over two hours and the police station was getting ready to shut down for the night, but Sergeant Winters was refusing to stop until he had something, which was driving his Commissioner crazy.
"Winters give it a rest you have been at this for more then two hours already." Commissioner Stoick said
"I can't I got to find something that will lead us to the Guardians. This is out first real footage of them in action and I will not rest until I have something."
"Fine you may give the footage one more run through but after that I am commending you to give it a rest for the night." Stoick said setting his cup of coffee down on Winters desk to look through the footage with him.
"Understood sir." Sergeant. Winters said as he started the footage over for the forth time in the past couple hours. After a minute into the footage however Winters spotted something.
"Hold up a second rewind that." Winters said having Stoick rewind the footage a couple of seconds.
"There pause it for a second do you see that?" Winters said pointing to the screen.
Stoick looked and then his eyes widened in surprise. "What the hell?"
"My, God it cant be...!?" Winters said as they stared at the screen. As they stared at the paused footage, what they saw was the reflexion on a mirror of the person filming the whole incident. But it was the person working the camera that had Sergeant. Winters and Commissioner Stoick up in a frenzy.
"Elsa!?"
