D: I do not own any Jackie Chan Adventures copyrights.

Jade stood before the familiar phone booth with a sense of dread beginning to descend upon her. She had just altered a good 15 years of her life, who knows how much had changed? She might not be the captain of section thirteen anymore, or worse, not even an agent. Maybe in this time period the young form of Drago, or the him from before the time jump, could still be at large and out to get her. Jackie could have died, Uncle could have died, anyone could have died.

More worries began to make themselves known but the raven-haired agent pushed them back stubbornly. She couldn't allow herself to get worked up, she had made her bed and would now have to lie in it; there was no point in allowing 'what ifs' to rile her to the point of hyperventilation. If she really wanted to figure out how much damage she had done then worrying wouldn't help, stepping into that booth is what would truly bear fruit.

Using an old breathing technique she managed to calm herself enough to actually step inside the small metal shell, allowing the machine to launch itself backwards with amazing speed. Well that was one good thing so far, if the booth still worked then the base itself should still be there, the only thing left to see was what condition it would be in.

With the same abruptness it had been stopping in for her entire life, the elevator halted so suddenly Jade was nearly thrown into the glass. It almost made her smile that she still hadn't quite gotten used to it.

"Captain Chan!" A deep voice called out the moment she emerged, its baritone tones quickly identified as belonging to an agent called Finley. "You're back!" The heavily muscled man exclaimed as he rushed up to her and gave a quick salute, "Good job out there Captain, I don't know what you did but I am sure am happy you did it!"

Suddenly every pair of eyes were on her, even those of a few agents that looked suspiciously like the J-team; people she hadn't even known were in the country, let alone San Francisco. An almost audible silence filled the air as almost every single person stopped there duties to simply stair at their captain, for by Finley's response Jade knew that at least she still was one.

Thankfully the quiet lasted for barely a second, though Jade wondered if she preferred it to the epitome of chaos that erupted soon afterward. Those who had stared were now surrounding her in a frantic mass of cheers and gratitude. The noise itself was nearly deafening as every man and woman shouted themselves hoarse with words she could only assume were those of gratitude. Everyone seemed to want to touch her in some way, perhaps to insure that she was real, she did not know. Nonetheless, there were many hugs that were placed upon her person, not to mention the quick kiss that she swore came from Paco's retreating form.

Gasping for breath from the sudden invasion of space, Jade extracted herself from the crowd with much effort. Just what was going on here? Were they thanking her for destroying the teeth or for something an alternate her had done? Did this mean that her trip hadn't altered the past at all?

"Jade!" Three voices shouted in union as yet more arms enveloped her; though by the feel of Tohru's huge bulk practically lifting her from the ground, she knew these three a bit more personally from the others.

"Hey guys," She let out with a sheepish smile, "Care to fill me in here?"

Jackie let her go and gave her a suspicious look, "Jade," He said slowly, "What did you do?"

By this point both Uncle and Tohru had also released her from their grasp, both of them starting to sport identical looks of suspicion. She sighed, now they probably were assuming something a bit worse than what actually happened, great.

"Tell me what happened here first," She told them firmly, "I need to know what you guys know first."

There was some shared confusion between the three of them but Jade ignored it, she could explain her method later; right now she needed to know just how to start her story. It would be a lot easier to tell if they already knew her reason for time traveling after all.

Jackie was the first to speak, seemingly realizing that she wouldn't explain herself unless he did. "You defeated the younger Drago, right? After he released the dragons and tried to release Shendu as well?" He gave her a questioning look and was speaking in what seemed to be a rather slow tone. Jade wondered if he was beginning to question her mental state.

"She must have," Tohru let in as he scratched his head, still shooting her that confused look, "The dragons are gone now and the spell that was supposed to summon Shendu is gone. If not her than who else?"

Summoning Shendu? Young Drago? This was different from what she had left by a long shot, yet somehow oddly the same. In her past Drago had released his father's dragons as well, but the teeth had been what he had used on the demon himself, on the stone version of Shendu. From what T was saying, Shendu wasn't a statue anymore. Did they banish him? Destroy him? Her head was beginning to hurt at all the questions that were beginning to flood into her head. God she hated time travel sometimes, she needed an aspirin.

"Do you not remember?" Jackie's voice cut into her thoughts and brought her back to reality. It seemed that they had been waiting for her side of the story for quite some time now. Perhaps they thought she had amnesia.

"Thanks for telling me that," She said with a genuine smile, truly grateful that she now had somewhere to start her rather long tale, "From what you just told me it's obvious that I'm from a parallel time."

They all stared for a few seconds before Jackie began to laugh, "That's crazy! You're craz- Ow!" Uncle had chosen that moment to thump his nephew on the forehead. The old man looked scarily serious as he motioned for Jade to continue.

"I come from a time where Drago never destroyed the teeth, where me and younger Jade never tricked him too actually," Realization dawned on her uncle's face as she said this, he obviously remembered this, remembered her.

"You came back to stop Drago from using the teeth to resurrect Shendu", Jackie finished slowly, as if recalling a memory from a long time ago. "Your that Jade?"

She nodded and gave a sheepish smile, "Yeah I guess more changed than what I had bargained for, huh?"

"Aiyah!" Uncle suddenly shouted as something seemed to dawn on him, "Jade went back in time to save us in that time from young Drago, and because Drago existed here as well even though we banished him, our Jade repeats foolish action!" He shuffled over to her and thumped her on the forehead, hard, barely listening to her 'ow' before continuing, "Both Jade's are the same Jade, so this Jade will be getting fifteen years worth of memories!" He shot Jade an exasperated look, "Will be very painful!"

Jade, Jackie, and Tohru seemed to have all adapted that look of utter confusion during uncle's long-winded speech; none of the three of them seemed to have even grasped a strand of what the 80-year old man was saying.

Jade looked at her uncle and friend for a second before stepping forward, it was clear neither of them would be the first to voice their questions.

"Say what now?"
