Hey:) Anether chapter of I'll be your Hero! Serious chiz is going down in this chapter so brace yourself ;)

Jack and Clarke stood there in awe as the two girls walked down the steps. They walked right towards them. Clarke and Smith went of to do some final preperations for the plan. Kim stood there infront of Jack, not knowing what to do or say. Jack was utterly speechless. God was she ever beautiful.

-Flash Back-

For some odd reason I was called down to the principles office in the middle of the day. To make it even weirder he addressed me by my whole name, Jackson when I walked in the door. He jestured me to sit down, thats when I saw him.

"Grandad?" I asked confused "What are you doing here?"

"Your Grandad and I were disusing yout school arrangement. Do you want to tell him or shall I?"

"No I will" My Grandad answerd. He turned to me looking me strieght in the eye. I was so confused. What the hell was going on? I saw him inhale a deep breath before he continued speaking "Jack your being transfferd schools"

"IM MOVING" I wanted to scream, but I didn't. Instead I sat there awating for him to continue as all these thoughts flooded my brain. Of school and the Dojo... of god the Dojo, what were they going to do with out me! And my friends how could I just leave them like this! Jerry, Milton, Eddie and Kim.. And what about the dance! I couldn't let Kim go with some jerk!

Oh yeah thats the concern there. You just want to go to the dance with her.

No, shes my bestfriend I just want to protect her.

Mmmmhmmmm

Oh shut up.

"Jackson, your being transfferd to a special school in New York run by the CIA. To train future agents. They saw you at your last tournement and want you to come and train with them" My Grandad explained. Everything stopped. All my thoughts, plans, and I swear even my breathing stopped when found out I couldn't inform my friends on where I was going. Telling the principle was mandatory, but no one eles could know all the details. So now, I stand before them in the Dojo telling them I have to drop everything and attend an all boys privite school for the last year of highschool. Yeah, really believeable.

"We're really going to miss you Jack" Rudy said snapping me out of my thoughts. Everyone nodded in agreement. I pulled him into a hug telling him to keep everyone in line. They I flashed him a smile moving to Jerry who stood beside him. I pulled him into a hug aswell. I told him to stay out of club Jerry for a while and keep and eye on milton. Then stood eddie. He hesitated at first then pulled me into a very... tight hug.

"Lay off the flaful balls" I said sarcasticly. He responded with 'you wish'. I laughed at his remark them moved to Milton. He was balling. I pulled his tiny figue into a hug telling him to keep up his good grades and don't give up karate. He responded with a nodd. And then stood Kim. Kimberly Crawford. Looking at her I could tell she was doing her best not to cry. Her tough reputation wouldn't let her but I new it was killing her. I knew this because it was also killing me. I pulled her into a really long hug. I didn't want to let go, because when I did, I had to leave.

"Keeps the boys in line" I said smiling. I could feel the burning sensation in my throught begin to build up.

"You know I will" She said sarcasticly. But I could hear the want to cry in her voice aswell. I pulled her into a quick final hug and walked out the doors. Outside I stood for a second, taking one final look at he dojo waving at my friends. I turned around and walked away, without looking back. Because if I looked back, they'd see me cry.

-End of Flash Back-

"Jack you alright?" He heard Kim say snapping him out of his trance.

"Uh yeah. Come on, I'll show you where the guards are." He said talking her hand leading her to the far corner of the room. In the corner was a hallway, entry blocked by two large men. From a distance, it was invisible. Jack moved Kim against the wall placing his hands on the wall beside her hips.

"You see them?" He asked quietly, his glare never left her face. She nodded in agreement continueing to stare at his face. Wasting no time he grabbed her hand again tugging her back towards dancefloor. "Remind you of prom?" He said sarcasticly flashing her a smile. That award winning smile.

"Wouldn't know..." Kim responded quietly directing her glare to the ground. Jack gave her a puzzled look. "I didn't go.." she clarified.

"Why not? Kim you love dances, you can't dance but you love dances" A smile grew on her face as she gave him a friendly shove.

"I don't know, no one asked me." He shot her a look "Ok, a cuple guys asked me but they were all jerks and losers. I didn't want to go with them. The guy I wanted to go with had something unexpected come up". Her glare never looked up once. Jack was worried over nothing. Kim didn't even go to the dance. And he thought she'd go with a jerk.. Wait. What was that last thing? He replayed her last sentece in his head "They guy I wanted to go with has something unexpected come up." She ment him! On the inside he was jumping for joy but on the outside he reamained cool. Kim Crawford liked him. A smile grew on his face when he came to this realisation.

"May I have this dance Mrs. Crawford?" He said in a deep tone extending his hand. He had a devilish smile on his face. Almost right on cue a slow song began playing, 'Safe and Sound' by Taylor swift. Kim let out a laugh before taking his hand as he spun her on to the dancefloor. Kim was laughing along with Jack as they waltzed around the room occumpinied by about 20 other cuples as the beautiful song played. He twirled her then brought her back into his conferting grip. It was so perfect, the song suited them both. It was like, at the moment it was writtin just for them. They slowed down the pace of their dancing to match the speed of the tune. Suddenly, it felt like everyone eles just melted away, and it was just the two of them dancing.

"Safe and sound" The song sang. Those words kept repeating themselfs in Kim's mind as Jack continued to dance around the room. 'Safe and Sound'. Thats what she felt when she was with Jack, safe and sound. Like nothing bad could ever happen to her. She always felt this way around him, ever since the day she meet him and she dropped that stupid apple on the floor. She looked up at his face and found herself staring into those coffee brown eyes. She could of melted right then and there. She removed her hand from his grip and placed it on his shoulder digging her head into his crease of his neck where it fit oh so perfectly. He placed his hands on her waist pulling her closer. They remained like this till near the end of the song, just standing there swaying back and forth. Kim lifted her head up staring back into his eyes. She could feel him begin to tence up as he inhaled a deep breath. And thats when it happend. He began to lean forward. Kim didn't shut her eyes yet, she just waited as his lips crept closer to hers. They were so close, she could feel his warm breath on her face. Then the song ended. All the cuples broke apart causing Jack and Kim to look away.

"That was cute" Smith said sarcasticly as herself and Clarke approched them in the middle of the dancefloor. Clarke gave her a friendly smack in the arm.

"Uh guys, we have a problem." Clarke said hesitently.

"What kind of a problem?" Jack qustioned.

"Cheif just called. He was right. There on to us. They cut the connection of the agency disabling all the cameras, thank god for the back up ones. They picked up men in black at every single subway stop, they're waiting for some sort of signal. Police can get to them as soon as X is out of the picture. If they move in when hes free he'll drop under the radar and we'll lose him. We got to do this now." Clarke explained.

"Right now?" Jack asked.

"Right now" Clarke clerified.

"Alright team, lets move" Jack said as the four of them spit up into relitive opposite directions. Kim walked over to the guards because it was her job to distract them. Jack and Clarke movied into the boys washroom. When the coast was clear the undid the air vent lifting themsleves into it. They closed it behind them heading in the direction of Kim. Smith took a different approch. She went into a corner and when she was certain she was alone she undid her dress letting it drop to the floor. She was now in a skin tight black suit occumpinied by a belt with gadgets attached to it that her dress hid perfectly. She tucked the dress behind a plant and pulled her body out through the glass window pulling herself on the ledge. She was now cascading the building.


"Hi" Kim said as she approched the gaurds. Hopefully all those years she spent taking Drama classes instead of art were going to finally pay off. But they didn't flinch.

"Hi" she repeated. Nothing.

"Hello, I was wondering in you could point me towards the bathroom?" She said innocently. So innocently she actually came across stupid. They just pointed in the direction behind her. She turned around to she a bathroom sign lables 'womans' right there. "Oh." She said quietly. She continues to stand there twidling her thumbs.

"Can we help you Ms?" They asked sternly. Not looking in her direction, they just held a pissed look off into the distance. She was biggining to panick. What was she supposed to say? All those Drama classes, improve has always been her flaw. Thats when she saw it. Jack and Clarke opened the air duck about 20 metres behind them. She had to act now. She subtley pulled down her dress a bit so more of her breasts were showing. This better be freaking worth it.

"Can I be totaly honest with you?" She said, still in that innocent tone. She had caught one of their attentions now. She saw his eyebrows raise when he caught a glimps of her. Am I that hot? The other one still remained fixed in the same position. "The reason I came over here is because I wanted to talk to you." It wasn't compleatly unbelieveable. They wern't all that unattractive. They were built and tall and maybe had 3 years on her. She wasn't that far off.

"Is that so?" One of them asked. She now had both of their eyes fixed on her.

"Yeah" She said in embaresment crossing her arms. Not it was obvious what they were staring at. All boys are really the same. "Look, my brother is a Police Officer, and I wanted to know how two, strong and cleary attractive guys like you got stuck working this lame party.." She let her voice trail off. The innocents to her voice had left and now remaind a sexy ring to it. It was working. Neither of the men flinched as she watched Jack and Clarke lower their bodies down and silently closed the vent behind them. She just caught the end to one of the men babling about something as she watched them escape down the hall.

"... so this isn't just some stupid party. Besides, we ran into you didn't we?" He responded in a flirtatous tone.

"Is that so?" Kim asked clearly not paying attention. For security guards they didn't catch on very quickly. "I'm gonna go now, but if you want a fun time, call me later" She shot them a wink and with a flip of her hair she left. When she was out of their sight she rolled her eyes. I can't believe that worked. She pulled out her phone and texted Jack she was perfectly fine and they didn't suspect a thing.

Jack pulled out his phone when he felt it vibrate in his pocket. A wave of relife came over his body. She was fine and they got off scot free.

"Told ya she would be fine. I'm suprised she went with sexy, I'm not suprised they fell for it though. Told ya she was hot" Clarke snickerd. Jack let out a laugh and shoved him into a wall. That might be the last laugh he'd ever have. The tow of them walked down the hallway and pulled out their gun, tucking it into their sleves put keeping it active in their hands. The first two men they came across didn't think anything of them at first, but when they heard one mutter "What the..." They each shot one of them in the head, execution style. Jack sat the mans corpse up while Clarke continued down the hall.

"What are you doing!" Clarke hissed when he realised Jack was no longer beside him. Jack bent down and grabbed the mans name tag. He rubbed his hands together and ran off after Clarke. The two of them continued walking down the very many, long hallways, killing anyone who caught on to the fact they wern't supposed to be there. The type of gun they used was small with a silencer, none of them saw it coming.

"They're bad men Jack, just collateral damage" He mutterd to himself over and over again. He didn't like the killing part. But then again who did?

"Come on Jack" Clarke said. He opened the door to the far east stairwell. In about two minutes now and they'd be with X. This was all happing so fast. It was now or never. He pulled out his phone and sent a text to Smith as they started up the stairs.

"2 minutes" Smith read on her Iphone. She carfully placed it back in her pocket as she continued up the building. Her part was to find X's office and let Anderson and Clarke know how many bodies where in there. Also to have their back if anything went wrong. The problem wasn't finding his office, she was already informed of it's location. It was getting there. Constantly having to duck for cover eveytime she passed a window with a person inside. Finally she made it. She pulled out her phone and responded to the text. Then she set herself up, connceting herself fermly to the wall insuring she couldn't fall over. Then she said up her gun pointed in the room ready to fire, she had their backs.

"7" Jack read alloud. That means there was 7 bodies in the room. Peice of cake. Himself and Clarke exited the stairwell, killing the two men that stood outside the door, aswell as the two witnesses down the hall. They aproched the door.

"The count of 3?" Clarke asked. Jack nodded.

"1" Oh good god.

"2" Here we go

"3" It's happining now Jack.


Kim plumped herself into a seat awaiting a text message that either said "We're fine, the plan worked" or "Jack died sorry". She let out a loud sigh before getting up to the food table. Her starving stomach wasn't going to help them an their mission. That's when she saw him. The attractive, male around her age was standing there talking to some lady dressed in purple. She watched as he said goodbye to the woman and began to walk away. Her eyes grew wide with fear as she realised where he was headed. Do whatever you can to provent him from coming in the back hallways. She put her head down and began to head in his direction.

"Oh my gosh 'Im so sorry" She said with a quiet laugh. He was almost caught off guard at the sight of her. She watched him stand there for a few moments then shake the thoughts out of his head.

"Ah that's ok. Accedently running into a pretty girl like you isn't all that bad" He responded flirtatiously. She felt herself biggining to blush.

"I'm Kim"

"Exavier." He relpied extending his hand. She took it with a smile.

"If you don't mind be being incredibly forward, would you like to dance?" She asked sofly. Nevousness filled her voice as she stood there bitting her lip awaiting a responce. You doing this for Jack.

"A beautiful girl like you? I'd love to" He said flashing her a smile. He really did have a gourgous smile. Him calling her beautiful replayed in her head. Kim had been called alot of things regarding her apperence, but with the execption of her mother, beautiful was a first. This made a smile creep on her face as she took his outstretched had and began to dance. Her mind never waunderd from the thought of Jack, not once.

"Shall we go outside?" He whisperd in her ear. His warm breath reached her neck sending shivers down her spine. It reminded her of Jack, when he first rescued her from the alley. God she had it bad. But something about his breath was odd and unsettling. She took his hand anyways as he lead her outside. Anything to keep him away from the hallways. The place where the party was being held backed on to a small lake, she saw the glow of a city in the distance.

"It's breathtaking" She said staring at the veiw that stood before her.

"Not unlike yourself" He replied flashing her anether smile. Being hit on my stangers was nothing new to her, but this was wierd. She had never recieved this many pick up lines in one sitting. Something didn't feel right. "You really are pretty you know, no wonder Anderson likes you" This time, there was no smile.

"What?" It came like a smack in the face. She took a few steps back processing what he had just said. Anderson? Jack.. shit. Her steps broke out into a run but was quickly stopped by a hand tightly gripping her forearm. How did I not see this coming?

"You not going anywhere" He whisperd. That same unsettling breath crept on to her neck. She clenched her teeth fighting the urge to cry. "Shhh, don't be scared" He continued to whisper moving lose stands of her hair away form her face and tucking them behind her ear.

"Im not scared" She said bitterly. She pivited on her foot bringing her knee up pulling it up to his gut with great force. She tried to scramble away when his grip released her. She had almost made it out of there when anether great force grabbed her from behind. His large hands tightly clamped her nose and mouth shut before she even had a chance to scream. She couldn't breath. She could feel her head being overwhelmed with dizziness as eveything went blury. The last thing she saw was an ugly smile planted on Exaviers face as everything slowly went black.
