A/N: Here's the second chapter of my double post! My story is going to get a little more sci-fi like Buffy or Roswell. Where each person has a different power. And I'm pretty sure my fellow Jaters are going to love this chapter:) The bad news is, I'm going on vacation next week and I'm not sure when I'll be able to update again. I could update next week, but if I can't, I should be back on Sept. 4th.

Chapter 12: Healing Hands

Jack woke up from his sleep. He looked down at Kate sleeping in his arms. She looked peaceful as she clung to him. He kissed her hair. Jack never felt a love like this, like he did with Kate. He did love Sarah, but the feelings he had weren't as strong. He felt Kate stir as she started to wake up.

"Morning." He ran his hand across her cheek. Jack realized he lifted his right hand. It was fractured just last night!

"Morning." She smiled. Then understanding hit her. "You moved your arm!"

"I don't understand." Jack moved his right arm in different directions with no pain. "It's healed."

Kate looked into his eyes. His black eye was gone. "You don't even look like you were hit by them at all."

He got up from the bed and headed into his bathroom. She was right. Looking into the mirror, all the cuts and bruiser were gone. "How?"

"Ow!" Kate had joined him but she cut her arm on the door.

"Kate!" Jack went to her. He looked at her left arm and saw that the cut was a little deep and bleeding.

"I'm ok. Just clumsy." Kate winced at the pain.

"Let me help. I can fix it." He gently inspected the cut, tracing his fingers over it. He ten covered the cut with his right hand. "I'm just going to apply pressure." Jack said looking into her eyes.

"Why is your hand glowing?" Kate asked looking down.

"What?" He laughed, but looked down. What he saw shocked him. Sure enough, where his hand was now, was glowing white. The light soon disappeared.

Jack raised his palm. "It's gone." He said in disbelief. They both looked at her arm now completely free of the cut.

Kate's eyes were wide. "You healed me!"

Henry saw this on the TV monitor. "Good! Jack's ability was released. The plan's working."

Juliet smiled. "I'm very impressed sir. Only you could think everything up."

"It's a good thing Desmond turned the failsafe. Their abilities will come out now that the power has been released. It figures Jack's healer. Just like Chris." Henry smiled his creepy smile.

"Should we take Kate back to her room?" Juliet asked.

"No. Her ability will only intensify and finally surface if we keep them together. Let's leave them alone till tomorrow." Henry switched the TV to monitor the other captives.

"Do you think that the violet light changed all of us?" Kate asked worried.

Jack hugged her. He was still in disbelief himself, but her question made sense. Something odd was happening on this island. He hoped Claire, Aaron, and everyone else were all right. "Kate, even if we are, it doesn't change anything." He cupped her face in his hands. "I love you."

She smiled. "I love you too. Always."

He pulled her closer and their lips met. This kiss was so full of passion and desire, so they deepened it. They had never felt feeling for each other so strong and right for anyone before. Jack moved his head to kiss her neck, as Kate let out a little moan in delight. He kissed the other side and worked his way back to her mouth.

They recaptured their lips as her hands went around his neck. His arms went around her back as they kissed more. Kate started tugging at Jack's shirt, but he stopped her. He looked straight into her green eyes. "Are you sure Katie?"

Kate met his brown eyes and smiled. "Yes." And they went back to kissing.

Jack tugged at her shirt. They stopped kissing to get it over her head. Kate then reached for his t-shirt and they worked it off. She laid her hands on his bare chest as he kissed her again. Their jeans soon were unbuckled and laying on the floor.

Jack placed one arm to hold her back and put the other under her legs. She held on to his neck as he carried her to the bed. He laid her down gently, and started kissing her again.

They worked off the rest of their clothing and made love for the first time.
