Author's Note: Second prompt! I wrote this one just before Descendants 3 came out so the events in this prompt obviously didn't happen in the same way. I would also like to add that this is a purely platonic kiss on the forehead so enjoy this Jay being an awesome big brother!

Trigger warnings for a panic attack.

Hope you all enjoy! Let me know what you think!

Jay looked around the barricaded classroom where the other students had taken refuge after Auradon Prep had come under siege from those who'd escaped from the Isle of the Lost and his body thrummed with pent up energy that had nowhere to go.

He knew Mal and the others were coming up with a plan, but he'd never much been the planning type. He was built for the fight, for action, and the others knew better than to try to get him to focus on anything other than that.

A hand tugged on his arm, "Jay?"

He turned to find Dizzy peering up at him worriedly, "Hey, what is it?"

"It's Jane...she started freaking out and I don't know how to calm her down." The girl's hands shook as she pushed up her glasses, "She's worried about her mom and I didn't know what to tell her and..."

He crouched down, "Hey, it's alright, Dizzy, just bring me to Jane alright?"

She swallowed, nodded, and led him to one of the corners of the classroom.

He found Jane curled tightly into a ball, her back pressed against the wall with panic clear in her eyes. Her face was streaked with tears and her breathing shook her entire frame, her body shooting up as soon as she saw Jay.

"I'm sorry to..." she shook her head, "I didn't mean to..."

"Hey, woah, slow down." he put his hands lightly on her shoulders, "Just look at me, alright?"

"I can't..." she turned wide eyes on him as she gasped, "I can't...breathe, Jay."

"You're having a panic attack, okay?" he tried to catch her flitty glances, "I know it's scary but I need you to look at me...just keep looking at me." Jay smiled when she finally looked at him, "Now can I come closer?"

She nodded jerkily.

He pulled her into his arms and pressed her ear over his chest, whispering in as calm a voice as she could. "I need you to listen to that alright? Just listen to it and match your breathing with mine. Can you do that for me?"

"I can...I can try."

Her ragged breathing slowly broke apart into harsh sobs, her fingers curling into his vest as she slumped against him. She was murmuring in a language he didn't recognize, but the worry and the fear didn't need a translation.

He pressed a kiss to her forehead, like he'd done to Evie and Carlos (and on rare occasion, Mal) so many times when their own fears had gotten the best of them, "I know you're scared. I know you're worried about your mom and everyone else who isn't in this room right now. I am too, alright, but I need you to just breathe. You're stronger than you look and I know Mal wouldn't turn down some magical assistance."

She blinked, surprised at the compliments, "I don't know what to do..."

He smiled, "I know you'll figure it out."

"How are you so sure about me? I'm not from Isle, I'm not..." she waved a hand, "you."

"And I wouldn't want you to be. We have enough fighters in this battle." He squeezed her shoulders once before stepping back. "We need a reminder of the Goodness in Auradon when this is all said and done."

"And you think that's me?"

"Yes. You and Ben and Lonnie and Doug...you remind us what it's like to be loved. To be good." He glanced over when he felt Mal's eyes on him and gave her a nod. "I need to go and talk to Mal, but you remember what I said, alright?"

"Yeah, I...I will."

Jay caught Dizzy, "Keep an eye on her alright? Come get me again if anything happens."

She nodded, "Got it."

He ignored the inquisitive looks the others shot him, "So what's the plan?"
