Blizzard, blizzard all the blizzarding time.

North stared at his fellow guardians with a grave expression on his face. He had summoned them to the pole after he had received several distressing reports of blizzards hitting various parts of the world.

"What's happening North?" asked Bunnymund, eyeing how concerned and worried his Russian friend was.

"Iz Jack. I don't know why but there are blizzards everywhere!"

Tooth fluttered around him and then circled the globe, "Where is he? Why?!" she cried, she stopped suddenly, "Has he gone dark? Do you think Pitch-"

"Whoah." Interrupted Bunnymund, "lets think this through Sheila. Jack can be a nuisance and naughty-"

"Top of list!" boomed North."

"Right," glaring at North momentarily for the interruption, Bunnymund continued, "but he wouldn't deliberately hurt anyone. If he's confused or Pitch has his hand in this somehow, we need to find him sooner than later and sort him out."

Tooth, North and Sandy nodded vigorously. Bunnymund swung his neck, letting the bones clicked as he stretched out the tense muscles, "Where to North?"

North stared at the globe momentarily, fingers stroking his chin and trailing through his beard and his eyes widened momentarily. "He is at the … Sahara Desert?"

After the momentary confusion and a minute of arguing whether they would travel by sleigh or tunnel (sleigh won) they made their way across the skyline, hoping Jack was alright.

Jack felt awful

He knew there was a slight problem when he had tried to frost a window pane, had a coughing fit and ended up burying half the street in snow. He had tried to shrug it off but later when his stomach had started to hurt and he had gripped his abdomen in discomfort, it had started to hail. He flitted from place to place but it seemed to get worse. He would bury himself in a snowdrift and when he would awaken and pop his head out, there would be a raging blizzard all around him.

The more upset Jack got about losing focus and control of his powers and abilities, the worse the weather became, the worse the weather became, the more upset he got. With a splitting headache, sore stomach and uncontrollable shivering, Jack could barely sleep without disconnected dreams that had him moaning and jolting awake, just to see more damage he had caused as he dozed.

Jack realized he was going to hurt someone badly so calling upon the wind, he made his way to the desert, hoping that if he just thawed out abit, he would feel better. Except he wasn't feeling better, he was downright miserable. He had dug into the sand with his bare hands, digging till he had made a hole he could curl up in, iced it up and curled in on himself. He could hear the storm raging around him and as he coughed and held his stomach, it just got louder.

Finding Jack in the desert proved to be fairly easy. The raging blizzard was a good indicator and the other Guardians knew Jack would be in the centre of it. "Alright!" yelled Bunnymund over the wind whipping back and forth, "We're in and out! Grab Jack, get him in the sleigh and outta here!" The others nodded.

"Tooth, you stay with North unless we call fer ya. With this wind, I don't want you flying. North, you keep circling."

Strategy taken care of, Sandy wavd his arms, golden tendrils taking shape till a small two-seater plane formed. Bunnymund swallowed his nerves and jumped in. Now was not the time for hesitation. Sandy took a couple of laps around the blizzard and after locking eyes with Bunny who nodded, they made their way through the blizzard. As soon as they hit the wall, Bunnymund lost his sense of sound. The wind was so strong, ice whipped and stung on his grey fur. Bunnymund yelled loudly but all he could hear of himself was a muffled cry. Sandman kept the plane in control, using his sand to replace the stripped sand of the plane as the wind whipped around him. Bunnymund could barely see but squinted his eyes as he saw a mess of white hair sticking up from the sand and some of his staff. "There!" he cried but realized it was useless. He tapped Sandman and indicated what he had seen. Sandman nodded and took them down. As soon as the plane touched the ground, Sandman used his sand to protect them with a large dome of sand. It protected them from the storm that was part blizzard and part sand storm.

"Jack!" cried Bunny, digging the dirt around the boy and pulling him out. "Frostbite?" he tried when he got no response.

Jack turned to him, eyes half opened in small slits and groaned when he saw him, turning away. "I must be in soooo much trouble." He mumbled.

"Is it Pitch?" asked Bunny, "another spirit?"

Jack shook his head.

Bunnymund wasn't sure what to make of it but Jack looked awful and hadn't even attempted to move from the cradled position the Pooka had him in. Jack moaned and clutched his stomach in pain and Bunnymund gave a yell as the sand dome shook with the force of the blizzard.

"Is it yer stomach? You're sick, is that it mate?" asked Bunnymund, beginning to understand.

Jack gave a small nod and grimaced again and the dome shook again, sprinkling them with sand. Sandman tapped on Bunny's shoulder and he could tell from the look on his face that the dome wouldn't hold up for much longer. Bunnymund wasn't sure what to do. Even if they got Jack into the sleigh, since he was the source of the blizzard it would continue as they flew to the pole and that would be dangerous for everyone, He didn't want to transport Jack by tunnel either. A snow storm in an enclosed place like that, a number of things could go wrong.

"Alright how about Sandy sends you to sleep?" he suggested.

Jack shook his head slightly, "when I sleep, I cant rest. I wake up and it's the same, even worse." He tried to lick his dry lips and Bunny could see how cracked they were.

"Ok, so when it hurts, the storm gets worse?"

A small nod.

"Ok lets have a look." Bunnymund lifted the hem of his hoodie and pulled it up and saw how swollen Jack's small belly was. He placed a firm paw and began to rub in a circular motion, not too hard. Jack stiffened then seemed to relax into it, now curling around the Pooka. Bunnymund turned to Sandman who was eyeing the structure and Sandy returned with a thumbs up. Jack's body then began to spasm slightly as he was reduced to a coughing fit and Sandy's thumbs up became a thumbs down as the dome shook again.

Bunnymund motioned for Sandy to come next to him and yelled, "When I give you the signal, take us straight up, ok mate?"

Sandy nodded and Bunny turned his attention back to Jack, "Frostbite, I'm gonna keep holding you and rubbing yer stomach but I need you to do something for me. When I give Sandy the signal, I need yer to hold yer breath. NO coughing, got it?"

Jack shook his head slightly, "Why? Just leave me, I'll be fine and I wont hurt anyone here."

Bunny was a little put out, did the kid real think that after all this effort they wwould just leave him? Nevermind if he wasn't hurting anyone, they weren't going to leave Jack in this condition even if he would be fine in a couple of days.

"Not up for discussion kid. Now Sandy!" yelled Bunnymund and held onto Jack as they were shot up into the sky. Jack did as Bunny had instructed and held his breath despite a strong tickle and lungs itching to cough. Sandy took them high and they flew through the dome, the blizzard and up into clear, dry desert air. There was a yell of, "got you my friends!" as the sleigh swooped beneath them and they landed in an undignified heap on the floor of the sleigh.

"Is he alright?" asked Tooth, trying to get a good look at him. She was thrown backwards as the sleigh shook, being hit by frost and snow as Jack coughed, sounding like he was about to hack up a lung. "Sleepy time." Said Bunnymund and Sandy gently sprinkled some of his dreamsand on Jack's nose and they could see his body relax as sleep overtook him.

When Jack awoke, he blinked at the ceiling and then frowned when he realized he was staring at a ceiling. He usually awoke to the sky and open spaces. He turned over and groaned as he was met face to face with North.

"Morning Jack." He said with a smile.

Jack eyed the steaming bowl of water in the Russian's hand and large towel. North helped him sit up and then lean forward slightly as the bowl was placed in front of him. He jerked back slightly as the steam hit his face but North firmly grasped the back of his neck and kept him forward and placed the towel over his head. "Trust me Jack, this will help. Bear with it."

Jack didn't have much choice as the hand continued to grasp his neck and hold him in place. Not long, Jack felt his chest convulse as another coughing fit took over, except this time something was coming up as he coughed. North removed the towel and helped Jack, rubbing his back as he coughed into another towel. North continued with the process till he was satisfied.

"What was that?" asked Jack, exhausted.

"Phlegm in your lungs, is very bad. You were sick but this will make it better. Few more times and you'll be better." Said North, washing his hands in a basin on the other side of the room. He came back and seeing Jack still wasn't relaxed, he helped the boy lie down and covered him with a thin blanket. He sat on the edge of the bed, his large body causing the whole bed to dip and inadvertently making Jack slide closer. Jack was looking everywhere but at him, playing with the frayed edges of the blanket. "Where are the others?" he asked finally.

"Bunny is having a very very warm bath and Tooth is in kitchen making you lunch."

"Why is Bunny having a bath?"

"Everytime you coughed, you iced him".

There was silence again for a few moments till Jack asked, "Did I hurt anyone?"

North reached out and out a reassuring hand on Jack's shoulder and didn't fail to notice how tired and worried he looked. He looked even smaller than usual with his head dipped low and shoulders hunched.

"Even if you had hurt someone, we know it wasn't your intention, you were sick. Buuuuuut-"

He tried to look stern now and Jack noticed and tried to keep eye contact even though he wished a hole would appear that he could disappear down and hide forever. "Why didn't you call us Jack? We would have helped you. You should have called us or come for help."

Jack shrugged but when he realized North was still looking at him and expecting a verbal response he answered honestly, "I didn't think of it."

North sighed inwardly. He could see the child had honestly thought that he would deal with his illness on his own. "And the desert?"

Jack shrugged again, "I was worried about hurting people so I went where I couldn't hurt anyone and I hoped the heat would take out some of my powers. If I'm too hot, my powers aren't as strong so I hoped-"

"I know Jack." Said North understanding, "but being that weak and that sick, you could have hurt yourself."

"Rather myself than others." Said Jack defiantly, a glint in his eyes.

North nodded, "that's why we are here Jack. We are friends, come to friends and there is no need for anyone hurting hmmm?"

Jack sighed and closed his eyes, he heard the door open and close and thought North had left so jumped a little when he heard North say, "Time for sleep a think. Bunny told us about bad dreams making bad weather, Sandman will give you something so there is no dreams, no worries.

Sandman appeared in his line of view and Jack smiled. Before he knew it, he felt himself grow drowsier. He was too tired to open his eyes when he heard Tooth flutter in, the buzzing of her wings too distinctive to be anyone else and he heard North tell her Jack would eat when he awakened. He heard Bunny hop in as well and chat to the others. Jack's lips curved into a smile as he heard the Pooka whisper in a loud whisper, "Ye know, maybe the blizzard of '68 wasn't his fault. He was probably just sick an' –"

"Nope," said Jack, just about to drop off into sleep, "I did it just to annoy you."

He fell asleep to the outraged yell of Bunny and the sound of a scuffle as the other three guardians restrained him with a yell from North, "you cannot kill Jack, he iz sick! Kill him later when he is better!"
