Author's Notes:
1. I do not own Xiaolin Showdown but I do love both of the series. I do own Gloria/Gizmo who is Jack's daughter in fanfiction; she'll be a character throughout the story and I hope you will all like her
2. This fanfiction is an updated version of a story that I had started writing in 2014 and stopped working on in 2016 due to a lack of time and inspiration. Unfortunately I lost the original files and thus have no other choice but to post an entirely new version of the story that was copied and pasted from the original and then edited. Hopefully this version will be grammatically correct and have less errors overall.
3. There's a bit of hinting at yaoi in this chapter, all in all nothing more than a little teasing about what is going to end up being a lemon in a later chapter.
Anyway enough with my yapping, let's move on to the story Shall we; I hope you enjoy.
Jack was still furious as he made his way into the throne room and Chase could easily see it on the young man's face.
"Hello Jack, you seem displeased about something. What happened?" Chase asked curiously.
"That cat you sent to greet me was extremely rude to both myself and Gizmo... I liked it a lot better when that panther was at the door, he's much more polite." Jack said gesturing toward the panther he recognized who was sitting next to Chase.
"Oh really, well I'm sorry to hear that Jack but don't worry... I'll take care of the offending cat for you later, in the meantime I must say I'm glad you're here as it appears you'll be staying" Chase said darkly at first and then looking the slightest bit more pleased.
"I've decided to accept your proposition Chase, I'm ready to serve you Master." Jack said, kneeling after having put Gizmo down and stopping himself from chuckling as she copied him.
Of course he couldn't see it because he was kneeling and his head was bowed but Jack could almost sense the smile that came on to Chase's face, he stayed kneeling with his head bowed until suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"You may rise Jack, and you may rise too little Gizmo... you are now my apprentice Jack." Chase smirked as he helped Jack to his feet.
"I'm honored Chase but what about Gizmo?" Jack asked in a bit of a confused way.
"Your daughter is a bit young to be my apprentice and besides as you had mentioned yourself; I only need one. Nonetheless I will of course allow her to stay and will teach her to control her powers as I will do with you... though I can promise you that her training will not be as hard as yours will be." Chase explained to Jack.
"Oh well that's good, thank you Chase." Jack said with a polite bow.
"Now Jack, no need for that, yes you're my apprentice but you don't need to be so formal all the time." Chase said with an amused smile.
"Oh okay, sorry I guess there's just some things I'm still not sure about yet." Jack said with an embarrassed chuckle.
That's okay Jack, you'll learn." Chase chuckled in amusement as he quickly rubbed a finger in a gentle but nonetheless clearly seductive way under Jack's chin.
"Now then follow me." Chase added chuckling at the blush that started to creep on Jack's cheeks.
"Oh um okay... where are we going?" Jack asked, unable to help but stutter in embarrassment as he did so.
"You'll see Jack, now come along." Chase said, still looking amused.
"Oh alright." Jack said, trying to ignore the fact that both Chase and Gizmo were smiling.
"What are you smiling about Missy?" Jack added to his daughter in a whisper, pretending to be annoyed despite actually being embarrassed and slightly turned on by what Chase had done.
"You're all red Daddy, not as red as your or my hair but still red." Gizmo said giggling and knowing full well that her father wasn't really annoyed with her as they both followed Chase.
"Yeah I guess I am, but I can't help it. Anyway, we better pay attention to where Chase is going or we'll both get lost." Jack said, attempting to change the subject.
Gizmo didn't argue but Jack could hear his little girl giggle as they continued to follow Chase, silence fell between the trio and had it not been for the fact that his old model Jackbots were following behind them it would have been almost too quiet.
"He had to have been just playing with me, but if that's the case why did it feel like when he kissed me?" Jack thought to himself still blushing as he and Gizmo followed Chase.
"Even if he was just teasing it didn't feel that way, it looks like I still feel something for Chase only this time it's more mature of course and the better question is... Does Chase really have feelings for me or is he actually just playing with me?" Jack continued to wonder to himself, feeling just as confused as he would have back in his preteen years which he didn't like one bit.
Of course since Jack was deep in thought he wasn't paying an ounce of attention to where he was going and the poise and grace he earned through the years flew out the window and like his younger preteen self would have done Jack smacking into a wall.
"Ow, shit that hurt" Jack groaned as the impact against the wall jolted his broken ribs slightly.
"Oh dear, are you alright Jack, you seemed to have drifted off a bit while we were walking." Chase said, raising an eyebrow slightly and not bothering the fact that he was amused by what had just happened.
"Yeah sorry about that, I was just thinking to myself about some..." Jack started to say but was stopped before he could finish by Chase randomly teleporting in front of him and lifting up his shirt.
"Hmm you seem to still have a cracked rib or two, I was going to show you and your daughter to your rooms but I think we need to heal you up first." Chase said gently rubbing a finger along Jack's chest and very much enjoying the shiver of pleasure that he felt from Jack.
"Well I mean if you think we should, I don't want to impose on your original..." Jack started to say trying hard to stop from blushing even more when he stopped because Chase put a hand under his chin and leaned in close to his ear.
"I insist Jack, it'll be hard to train you and do other things if your ribs stay broken." Chase said purposely whispering in a seductive way both because he wanted to and because he knew it would get Jack's attention.
"Now come on, let's get you to the healing room." Chase added be for Jack could comment, still keeping his voice mildly seductive as he removed his hand from Jack's chin and signaling for Jack to follow him.
"Come Daddy, Mr. Chase wants us to follow him." Gizmo giggled as she followed Chase but Jack didn't at first.
"That tease, he knows exactly what he's doing to me and yet I still can't tell for certain if he's just playing or not." Jack thought to himself as he watched Chase and Gizmo's retreating form.
"No time to think about it now, if I don't hurry I'll lose both Gizmo and Chase and I'll have to wander around lost." Jack continued to think to himself as he caught up with Chase and Gizmo.
Eventually the trio reached the room that was apparently the healing room, Chase was polite and held the door open and despite being confused still Jack had to laugh a little bit as Chase blocked the Jackbots from going in the room.
"Oh no you don't, make yourselves useful and follow one of my cats to your Master and Mistress's room" Chase ordered the Jackbots looking annoyed that they had even tried to follow Jack into the healing room.
"You heard him, just because you're my oldest models doesn't mean that you can't hear and obey." Jack told the bots when at first they just continued to hover in the air.
Without responding, mostly because these old models couldn't do so, the Jackbots disappeared as had been ordered.
"Sorry about them, I don't really know why I reactivated those old models; I guess I was just..." Jack started to say with an embarrassed sigh before being interrupted by Chase wrapping his arm around Jack's waist.
"No need to apologize Jack, I can understand the feeling of wanting to be nostalgic on occasion... Besides, I must admit that seeing your beginning inventions again is a bit amusing." Chase said with a seductive smirk as he pulled Jack very close to him.
"Well I'm glad to have amused you... hopefully I get to amuse you in more ways some other time." Jack said using the closeness to Chase to whisper seductively in the warlord's ear in an attempt to play Chase 's game of seduction only reversed.
"Are you two going to come in or am I going to have to wait for both of you all day." Gizmo interrupted suddenly with an impatient sigh, completely stopping Chase from commenting which Jack was oddly glad for.
"You're right sweetheart, sorry about that... we're coming." Jack chuckled, gently removing Chase's arm from around his waist and going into the room where Gizmo was waiting for him.
Jack could almost feel Chase's displeasure as he too entered the room, it wasn't that the warlord was mad at Gizmo but Jack could tell without looking at Chase that he hadn't wanted to let Jack go after what he had done.
"Well then, now that we're here, why don't you lay down while I look for what I need to heal you." Chase said, gesturing over to what looked like a couch.
"Actually before you lay down I'll need you to remove your shirt." Chase added as Jack made his way toward the couch.
"Wait what... Why do you need me to do that." Jack asked, stopping in his tracks and looking back at Chase in a confused way.
"The healing potion I'm going to give you is more like a powder, I'll need to rub it on the spot where your broken ribs likely are." Chase said making up a reasonable excuse but still failing to hide a less than innocent smirk on his face.
"Oh I see, well alright if that's what you need to do." Jack said, raising an eyebrow skeptically but doing as Chase said.
Had it not been for the fact that lifting up his arms and removing his shirt actually hurt a bit Jack would have been more teasing about it, unfortunately it did hurt and Jack decided that this was one seductive teasing attempt he'd have to miss. Once his shirt was off Jack carefully laid down on the ouch without being asked while Gizmo sat right next to him.
"Ah good you're all ready, now just hold still... I'll try to be gentle so that this doesn't hurt you." Chase said, looking pleased that Jack was laying down.
"I'll hold you to that Chase." Jack said knowing full well that, despite the fact that Chase would have to behave slightly because Gizmo was around, the warlord was going to find some way to tease and seduce him.
Chase smirked at this but didn't comment as he opened the vial containing the healing powder and carefully rubbing the powder on his hands, once done with this Chase carefully began rubbing his hands across Jack's chest. Jack couldn't help but flinch as Chase's cold hands touched his chest, quickly however he got over the coldness as Chase hands and fingers began to seductively danced across his chest.
Despite having Gizmo in the room Chase was managing to be seductive but do it in a very subtle way, it was all Jack could do not to moan in pleasure as Chase continued to rub the powder on him.
"There we go, you're all finished Jack... stand up carefully and tell me how you feel." Chase said after what seemed like forever.
With a groan Jack stood up despite really wanting Chase to continue, as he did stand up however Jack was pleased to discover that he felt so much better.
"Oh that feels so much better, I can actually lift my arms now without it hurting." Jack said with a relieved sigh as he put his shirt back on and not missing the disappointed look Chase gave him as he did so.
"Hooray! You're all better Daddy!" Gizmo squealed happily before running up and jumping into Jack's arm's and hugging him happily.
"Yep daddy is all better now Gizzy, and now that he is he can carry you off to bed without it hurting." Jack said, chuckling as he hugged his daughter back and chuckled as she looked up at him in a very disappointed way.
"But Daddy, we don't know where our rooms are... I can't go to bed if we don't know where our rooms are." Gizmo said quickly thinking of an excuse but trying to play innocent about it.
"No need to worry Gizmo, I'll be happy to show you to your rooms." Chase offered knowing just as well as Jack did that the four year old was making excuses to not have to go to bed.
"Did you hear that Gizzy, that's really nice of Chase isn't it?" Jack asked, trying not to chuckle as Gizmo's hopeful expression turned to disappointment.
"I suppose so, okay Mr. Chase lead the way." Gizmo sighed in a slightly defeated sounding way.
"Very well, follow me then." Chase said trying just as much as Jack was to not crack a smile.
Gizmo didn't look happy about it but nonetheless the four year old followed willingly behind Jack, funnily enough it actually didn't take long for the trio to reach the rooms but Jack had to admit that he was surprised to see that the rooms seemed like they were all set up.
"I had my jungle cats help your Jackbots set up while we were busy." Chase said as though reading Jack's mind.
"Wow, your cat must work fast because there's no way..." Jack started to say before a very excited Gizmo interrupted.
"Daddy I know I have to go to bed soon but can I have a quick look in my new room, I'll get myself in my pajamas all by myself if you let me." Gizmo said pleadingly.
"Oh alright, you have five minutes to take a quick look around and to get your pajamas on." Jack said unable to resist the cute look his daughter gave him.
"Yay! Thank you Daddy." Gizmo squealed happily and hugged her father.
"You're welcome sweetheart but you better start looking around now, I'm going to set my watch and you better be in your pajamas and in bed by the time I come in." Jack said, chuckling.
With big eyes Gizmo let go of Jack and zipped into her room, the little one had barely been gone a second with Jack suddenly felt himself being pushed against the nearby wall and Chase's lips latched to his. Despite the shock that Jack initially felt he quickly recovered in time to become determined to show Chase that he was not a pushover, the battle for dominance had barely began when to Jack's great displeasure his watch went of; at first Jack was planning to ignore it but this didn't go as planned when he heard Gizmo's voice.
"Daddy, are you coming or not?" the little girl asked, sounding a bit confused.
"Seems like I'll have to let you go, shame really... I was enjoying myself and from the way you're panting I'd say that you were too." Chase said, releasing Jack's lips from his own.
"We could always continue this later." Jack said as he attempted to catch his breath.
"Perhaps tomorrow, you need to sleep tonight... After all, you start training tomorrow." Chase said in a purposely teasing way despite clearly not wanting to.
"You're a damn tease Chase Young, you know that don't..." Jack started to say with a frustrated sigh when suddenly the tiny head of his daughter peeking out of her room stopped him.
"Daddy I know I'm supposed to be in bed but I just wanted to make sure you were coming to tuck me in." Gizmo said, popping her out of her bedroom door and looking both slightly sad and worried.
"Aw of course I'm coming to tuck you in sweetie, I just got distracted talking to Chase is all." Jack said bending down and picking up his daughter sweetly because he felt bad for making her sad.
"You were talking to Mr. Chase? Where is he now, did he go somewhere?" Gizmo asked, looking confused.
"What to you mean sweetie, Chase is..." Jack started to say turning back to where Chase had bee standing only to stop talking because Chase was not there.
"That Damn tease, I'm going to get him tomorrow for doing this to me." Jack thought to himself and sighing out loud.
"Daddy are you okay?" Gizmo asked, sounding really worried.
"Awe baby I'm okay, I'm sorry I worried you. Now come on, let's get you tucked in" Jack said sweetly cuddling his daughter against him before walking into her room all the while thinking of a way to get Chase back.
