Jack turned the page of his book; he liked it so far, but was growing restless. He wanted to get up and walk around, but the pain in his leg and the thought of walking into something kept him on the ground. Steve and Tony hadn't returned since Fury left; not that he minded though. It was quiet and cold. Just the way he liked it. Every so often Jack could feel someone try to turn the heat on, but stopped when he would make it colder. He could feel the ship gently rocking back and forth in the wind or waves slowly lulled Jack to sleep with the book still in his hands.
"How is he surviving that? I must be -50°c (-58°F/ 223.15°K) in there!" Clint asked. The director had all the avengers except Thor, gathered around a computer screen. On the screen was thermo security camera footage of a boy sitting in Loki's old cell. On the side of the screen the temperature the gage read 30°C (86°F/ 243.15°K) for Jacks body and -47°C (-53.6°F/226.15°K) for the room.
"His body temperature is much lower than a normal human." Banner said. "Who is this boy, Fury? Why is he here?"
"Tony and Steve brought him here." The director said. Tony began to explain what happened at his tower with Steve adding details where Tony missed them, but didn't give any more information about Jack.
"So all you have on this kid is that he's Thor and Loki's little brother, his name is Jack, he fights invisible shadow creatures that you could only see after you put on thermo glasses and he loves the cold? That's not much to go on. For all we know he could have saved Tony and Steve's lives!" Natasha complained. Then she realized someone was missing. "Where is Thor?"
"As far as we know he's with Loki, the Easter bunny, tooth fairy, sandman and Santa." Steve said. Clint laughed. Fury gave him an annoyed look.
"Wait your serious? So we are dealing with myths then?" Clint asked mouth hanging open. "How hard could it be to figure out who he is? His name is JACK, he loves COLD and he's a myth. Google it!"
"We can do this later, but right now we should let the kid out!" Tony grumbled.
"He's right. The boy looks harmless. Has he even moved? Or tried to attack you?" Natasha asked. Fury shook his head. "Then Let him out. There's no reason for him to be in there."
"How long has he been in there? What has he been doing? Is he injured?" Bruce asked.
"He was, but we took care of it. He's been in there for about 4 hours. The kid has been reading Braille. Odd though I gave it to him he said he wanted to learn how to read it, but he could read it right off." Fury explained.
"What book?" Clint asked.
"The only book we had was Twilight. The last time I checked in on him he was ¾ finished it."
"Come on lets go get him out!" Tony said. Fury grumbled something no one else caught then waved for the Avengers to follow him.
Jack woke to the sound of footsteps coming towards him; far away and too quiet to distinguish how many there was, but as they got closer he could here Tony, Steve and the director with 3 other pair's he didn't recognize. Jack prepared himself for more questions.
"Where is he?" One man asked as the group walked through the door. Jack shifted his position to cross his legs.
"What do you mean he's right there!" Tony was saying. "Why can't they see you?"
Jack sighed and looked down. "He doesn't believe. In my case believing is seeing. It's like when you couldn't see the Nightmares."
"If we give them thermo glasses could they see you?" Steve asked.
"Yes, but if they take them off and still don't believe in me they still won't see me." Jack explained. "Those things seem to solve everything."
There was rustling and then gasps. Jack rolled his eyes.
"Whoa."
"You weren't lying. Can it talk?" Someone said. Their voice was oddly calming.
"Ya I can talk." Jack said exasperatedly.
"Aren't you cold?" The same voice asked.
"No I never get cold. Not even when I'm in Antarctica." Jack said happily thinking about more people seeing him.
"Could we test that?" Calming voice asked.
Jack shrugged. "I don't see why not. I've never been cold before." He grew more serious. "But I'm not going anywhere until I have my staff."
"Fine kid." The director said and left the room.
"My names not kid!" Jack grumbled.
"Are you tired?" Steve asked. "Are you in any pain?"
"No I'm fine. The cut should heal by tomorrow, but the wrist will take longer. I'd rather not sleep unless I have to. I prefer to have Sandy close, in a tree or rafter to sleep."
"Isn't that uncomfortable?" A female Russian voice asked.
"You get use to it." Jack looked away.
The sound of footsteps coming towards Jack again caught his attention. They where the director steps, but there was a tapping sound along with the steps. Jack recognized the sound of this staff hitting on tile. He could easily recognize it after years of hearing the same sound.
The director opened the door to Jack's cell with a metallic 'thunk'. He slid the boy's staff along the floor to him. Is skidded to a stop when it hit Jacks toes. As soon as he curled his toes around the old wood the wind stopped rocking the ship. Jack breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you." He said with a smile as he picked up the staff with his good hand. Jack tapped his staff lightly on the ground so no one would notice.
In front of him was a tall, balled, eye patched dark skinned man. Fury wore a long trench coat and big army boots. Beside him were Steve and Tony; behind them were a lady and two men. The lady had shoulder length curly hair. She wore a skin tight jump suit with two twin pistols strapped to her hips. The man beside her wore the male version of the jump suit, but instead of guns he had a quiver of arrows on his back complete with a folded up bow. His hair was short and cropped army style. The last man was slightly shorter and had curly hair that was just I've his ears. He wore a simple button down dress shirt and trousers. A pair of glasses on his nose made him look like a scientist. Jack looked around in his cell. The walls where made of clear glass, but had metal separating the four panes of rounded glass.
"Dam its cold in there!" Tony shivered. "Are you coming ki-Jack?"
Jack nodded and stood up. He limped over to the group. Despite the gash on his calf almost being healed it still sent a stab of pain up his leg when he put weight on it. Jack cradled his broken wrist to his chest because it still dully ached. He felt his staff tightly in the crook of his arm.
Steve noticed Jacks discomfort and asked: "Are you sure you don't want any medications?"
Jack shook his head. "No thanks. Remember what I said earlier."
"Right no meds." Tony said. "Oh! Almost forgot; this is Natasha, Clint and Bruce." Tony gestured to each person. Oblivious to Jack not seeing the gesture. Jack all ready had a good idea of who was who.
Jack smiled brightly. "Hello I'm Jack."
"Are you sure?" Bruce asked. Jack shook his head again. "Why? You look to be in pain."
Jack went on to explain how medicine affects his body and to never- no matter how much pain he's in to give him medicine.
"Wow. I've never thought a body would work that way." Banner said. Jack raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"He's a doctor." Tony smirked. "He has lots of patience."
Jack giggled remembering what Tony said before when they thought he was asleep.
"Enough jockeying around. We still need to locate Thor." Fury said.
"And Loki." Jack reminded.
"And Loki?!" Clint, Natasha and Bruce yelled at the same time.
"Ya Loki's with him too." Jack said.
"How did he get out of Asgard jail?" Clint asked.
"Never was there. It was all an illusion." Jack explained.
"What? How?"
"Well after New York your shield agents left him an unguarded room. He left a clone and teleported away." He explained.
"Are you saying that Loki was never in Asgardian custody?" Clint asked in disbelief.
"Exactly." Jack said with a smirk. "What did you expect? He's the god of mischief!"
"For the Asgardians to keep their prisoners in check." Fury growled.
"That's never been one of their strong suits." Jack huffed. "I swear if you hurt him or try to put him in there I will freeze you and leave you in Antarctica." Jack threatened.
Steve winced. "We won't do anything unless he does." He promised.
Jack narrowed his eyes. He didn't believe them.
Bruce broke the awkward silence. "We would be looking for energy signatures."
Fury nodded. He led the way to the bridge. On the way Jack had to avoid the agents walking by him, but sometimes the agents would walk through him. Jack should gasp and hug his staff tight. Tony and Steve noticed and walked on either side of him.
Once they made it there, the Avenges were focused on the computer and Jack couldn't help, but he offered to look around outside. The director said no because he wanted Jack to be in his sight at all times. So the boy balanced on top of his staff wishing he brought the book, but when he thought no one was looking Jack blew one of his special fun snowflakes to one of the agents he could hear walking near him. The agent giggled and crumpled the papers he had in his hands and threw it at one if his colleges. Jack let more flakes find their way to other agents and soon the whole room was in the middle of a huge paper ball war. The agents split into 3 groups; girls, guys and the Avengers. Jack floated above the play-field laughing at the Avenger trying to stop the fight, but only getting sucked into it them self's. Jack formed a snow ball and threw it at where he could hear Steve yelling. Judging by the surprised yelp the snowball hit its target square on.
"Jack!" Steve yelled then laughed when a paper-ball hit him.
"There it is!" North yelled over the wind. He led his reindeer to one of the airplane runways and landed. Once everyone was out he ordered the reindeer back to the pole. "Where is Jack?"
"Most likely in the main control center or medical bays." Thor said walking toward the door. The guardians and Loki followed him through the long hall way. There was no one around to ask. Everyone was gone. "Where is every one?"
The question was soon answered when the group stepped into the control room. It was in chaos; paper was everywhere along with some oddly placed snow piles. All the usually boring humorless agents were engaged in an all out paper ball war. The Avengers where stuck in The middle of the room and surrounded by the shield agents. They were covered in a mountain of paper and snow. Floating above it all was Jack Frost. He was throwing snow balls at the unsuspecting people with deadly accuracy.
"How does he do that?" Tooth asked.
Loki shrugged. "He's always had good aim. Not only with snow, but knifes and bows too."
"Jack!" Bunny shouted, but was answered by a snow ball to the face. "That's it Frostbite! You're getting it now!" He threw a snow ball back at Jack who easily avoided it.
"Nice try cottontail!" Jack shouted at Bunny. North shook his head slowly watching Jack and Bunny run around the room throwing snow at each other. North opened his mouth to yell at them, but a snow ball hit him square in the mouth. Loki laughed and threw a paper ball at Clint. Hawkeye gave him a dirty look and returned fire. Sandy was avoiding all the snow, but threw dreams and at the agents. Just over half of them were asleep including Fury. When everyone finally tired out they all sat in a circle laughing at each other and marveling at the fact Santa and the Easter bunny where real.
"So you're really the Easter bunny?" Clint asked.
AN: Sorry it's late I know, but this week was really busy despite having two snow days (thanks Jack!). I'm still not sure where I'm going with this. Willing to take suggestions for one shots after the main plot!
