Jack could see Loki's top lip curl as he listened to Theros explain what had happened. Jack honestly didn't know much about Loki, but he reminded him of Pitch and it made Jack uneasy. He didn't want to trust someone who had darkness in their heart to help get his love back. The deity's posture was perfectly straight, almost intimidating. Jack stood far enough away to not know what was being said, but he could only guess. Loki hadn't said a word, but continued to nod his head occasionally and look disgusted. Eair stood next to Jack, keeping her arms crossed and studied her sister. It felt like their conversation was going on forever, but Jack knew he was just being impatient.

"We might need all the help we can get." Eair said suddenly, narrowing her eyes as Loki began to walk away from Theros.

"Why do you say that?"

"Well," She turned to look at Jack, "He's only one god. Hades has an army in his realm and he could easily take us four if he wanted."

"Who else would help us?"

Eair cocked an eyebrow at him, not believing he was clueless. "You just became the newest member of the Guardians, right?"

"The Guardians? I don't know if they would want to help." Jack said uncertainly. He knew he could ask them, but he was sure they wouldn't want to be involved with Gaia and her children.

Eair sighed heavily, obviously frustrated with him, "Just ask them! If you want Clem back we'll need a help. Loki won't be enough."

"Can't you get some more of your 'family'?"

"Why would they want to help? You're seriously lucky Theros is willing to help. No one wants to be involved with this mess. They think Mother's right to punish Clem like this. She knew better than to talk to you."

Jack scowled, flying off without another word. So that's how the sisters were seeing this whole situation. They couldn't see that the grudge between them all was pointless and infantile. Jack slightly hoped to run into Gaia so he could speak his mind. It was absurd that she would summon Hades to punish Clementia. He didn't know why she would go to such extreme measures for something as innocent as conversations. Granted, he knew they weren't just going to continue with conversation anymore. He was concerned that he had lost her tooth box, but hoped that she had been able to get it before Hades took her away.

Jack was at Tooth's palace within minutes, zooming past the mini fairies and to the larger pillar that Tooth usually flew around and gave directions. Baby Tooth was in front of him suddenly, chirping excitedly. Jack didn't have time to talk to her. He could see Tooth pointing to individual fairies so he grabbed Baby Tooth and placed her on his shoulder like she used to do. She nuzzled his neck affectionately, but he ignored it.

"Tooth!" He yelled, zigzagging through the thousands of fairies that were awaiting orders.

"Jack! What are you doing here?"

"I need your help. All of the Guardians, actually."

"With?" Tooth looked at him suspiciously.

"Gaia had Hades take Clementia to his underworld. We have to get her back."

Tooth respectfully gasped, violet eyes widening in horror, "Hades? She called Hades to help her? Why would she do that? Oh Jack, I don't know if we would be able to help at all. Hades is merciless."

Jack groaned, thinking quickly to try and convince her to help him and the two seasonal sisters. Jack still felt as if Loki would have more power than Eair gave credit. "I need your help, Tooth. I know it may seem like a long shot, but the more help I have the better chance I have to save her."

She looked at him dejectedly, wings missing beats occasionally as she thought his request through. He was starting to shake, wanting her answer as soon as possible but also wanting to leave so he could meet up with the sisters and Loki. He hoped they would want to take immediate action like he wanted.

"Okay, Jack. I'll get the others. We'll meet in Paris."

Jack sighed in relief, but was confused, "Why in Paris?"

"That's where the entrance is, right?"

Excited, he shrugged and flew off. Baby Tooth left him as soon as he exited the cave, but he knew she would more than likely follow Tooth to help out. The tiny fairy never liked to be excluded from their adventures since she had taken a liking to Jack. He knew the larger fairy would contact all of the others so he went back to find the sisters. If they had already gone to Paris then he didn't know if he would be able to find them. He didn't know why Hades' would make his entrance in the city of love. He could see Eros using that city for his own place, but not Hades. Death and despair wasn't something he thought of when he thought of Paris.

He got lucky when he returned back to the sisters. They were still talking to Loki but ceased when he dropped down next to them. Eair looked at him expectantly and he simply nodded. Loki smiled sinisterly and patted Theros on the back. He turned away and Jack saw the sisters look ready to leave.

Once they took to the sky, Loki beckoned jack to fly next to him. "We have to come up with a plan."

Jack had never heard to god's voice before and was surprised at how childish and jovial it sounded. He didn't know much about this god other than it was unwise to anger him, "What do you have in mind?"

Loki smiled again and Jack could see a glint of the darkness that the sisters had talked about, "We'll have to trick him if you want Clementia out alive or in one piece. I heard you like to play tricks on people."

"Only if they're fun and games; I don't really want to hurt anyone." Jack explained, hoping Loki didn't want to kill and wage a war on any other immortal. Jack wasn't even sure if immortals could die.

"We're not inflicting pain, Frost. We just have to distract him. I can take the shape of anything, so I was thinking…" he trailed off, looking down to the city below and noticed the Eiffel Tower. Jack was starting to feel nervous, wondering how they would ever be able to get away with tricking Hades. The Lord of the Dead really didn't seem like someone to that would fall for silly tricks easily. "I was thinking I could shift into Clementia after you get her out of wherever he's keeping her. I guess I could play dead or something."

An idea came to Jack suddenly, hoping to do something more convincing and not halfhearted, "Doesn't Hades have a wife?"

"Persephone, why?"

"Can't you just change into her? I think that'll lure him away from everyone long enough."

Loki smirked again, flying lower into the city, "You might be on to something. We'll have to try that, but it's not winter in his area; that's the only time Persephone visits him."

Jack shrugged, smiling, "She missed him."

Loki laughed loudly, landing outside of a small and dark green building. Surprisingly, the Guardians were outside waiting for them. They smiled sympathetically to Jack and eyed Loki suspiciously. The sisters landed behind the two tricksters silently, not giving the Guardians any kind of greeting. Jack knew the only reason they were joining them was to save Clementia. There was no way this moment would stop the grudge between the two families.

"It's always exciting when you're involved, Frost." Bunny said, smirking at the pale boy.

I'm so excited to write the next couple of chapters. They should be decently long too and exciting!
