Chapter 3

The next morning, Jack awoke by a loud banging noise. He jumped out of bed, rushed down the stairs, into the living room, and was met with the sight of a broken Jack-bot throwing all sorts of things at an over turned table.

"What the HELL??" Jack rushed over to the Jack-bot to put in the deactivation code…and was promptly thrown towards the table. Jack quickly crawled behind the table, where Zena was saying some strange words he couldn't understand. Before he could ask what was going on, Zena stood up, and shot a blast at the robot, which broke into pieces.

"Finally. That thing was driving me crazy." Zena put her hands on her hips, staring at the spot where the Jack-bot just stood.

"What the hell did you DO??" Jack screamed at her.

"Nothing! I was fast asleep on the couch, when the next thing I know, I'm almost flying through the window! It started throwing things at me, then I got a table fort set up, and it started throwing everything in its' sight. You came five minutes later." Zena turned the table back over while Jack just grumbled.

"Well, whatever, just as long as it doesn't happen again!"

"HEY! Don't accuse me! I'm not the one who-" Zena was cut off by a beeping noise. Jack quickly went to a Jack-bot holding the source of the beeping.

"A wu revealed itself. Damn, two shen gon wu in two days." Jack quickly ran upstairs and got dressed. When he came back down, Zena stood waiting.

"C'mon. I'll get us there." Jack looked at her, not sure if he should, but considering what just happened? He was not going to leave her in his house alone. He took her hand and they were transported to where the wu was.

"YOU IDIOT! CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT?!" Wuya howled at Jack, who just lost the showdown. Sure the wu wasn't very important, but still…

"Hey! I didn't see you helping any!" Jack screamed right back.

While Jack and Wuya where having a screaming match, Chase, who had also come for the wu, watched. He got so caught up at who was screaming what (it had gotten to who's hair was redder) he didn't realize that Zena had walked up next to him.

"…Do they do this EVERY time they loose?" Zena tilted her head to the side, confused by what they were screaming about. Jack didn't want Wuya or Chase to know that she was there, so he made her hide behind a rock, and she watched the Xiaolin Showdown from there. Chase turned to face the speaker, clearly not expecting one. Sure he knew someone was there, but didn't think it was important.

"Might I ask who you are?" Chase asked Zena, which snapped Jack from the screaming match. Before Zena could reply, Jack had his hand over her mouth and responded:

"She's my distant cousin…from America!" He said quickly

"Mmph?!" Zena didn't expect that.

"I couldn't leave her alone at the house, so I brought her with me. She's the only relative who knows about shen gon wu, and all of that. We're real close." Jack finished his little white lie by giving Zena a hug, hoping it would fool Chase and Wuya. Zena, who figured out his little game, played along.

"RIGHT! I'm guessing your Chase right? I've heard so much about you. My name is Zena. It's so nice to finally meet you." Zena held out her hand, which Chase shook.

"Jack's mentioned me in his letters?" Chase raised an eyebrow at this.

"Yep! Says your one of the BEST fighters he's ever met," Zena then looked at Wuya, "…and I believe you're the old hag I've heard about? Ms. Wuya am I correct?" Zena smirked. Payback can be such a bitch.(1)

"What did you call me?!" Wuya became enraged.

"Ah! ZENA! MANNERS!" Jack yelled angrily to said girl.

"You have manners Jack? I'm impressed." Chase replied coolly. Zena cracked up when he said that. Jack didn't know who to glare at then.

"Well it was nice to finally meet you but I think me and Jack need to get going. See ya later!" Zena grabbed Jack's wrist, tugging him along as she ran, still laughing. As soon as they were out of sight, she transported them back to Jack's Lair.

"ZENA! What the hell did you say that for?" Jack screamed once there.

"Why didn't you tell Chase the truth??" Zena shot back.

"Because I don't want him to kill me!" Jack flailed his arms trying to prove his point. Zena gave him an 'I'm not impressed' look.

"Oh whatever. I've got work to do." Jack walked towards his work bench, wanting to finish some projects.

"…You didn't want Chase to know that you're taking care of his daughter cause you don't want to look motherly is that it? AWWWW how cute!" Zena spent the rest of the day running away from a certain evil boy genius, who was chasing her with a very deadly laser in his hand.

(1): Zena didn't like the fact Jack didn't tell Chase the truth, so she made up the 'Old Hag' thing to get him into trouble.
