"Yep." Bunny smiled. It was odd to have a whole group of adults see the guardians. Jack was sitting with Loki on one side and North on the other.
"Umm... Where's Fury?" Tony asked looking around for him.
"He's a little sleepy right now." Jack laughed. Fury was one of the first to be hit with Sandy's dream sand because he was yelling at Jack. "When he wakes up he will think it was all a dream."
"I still think this is a dream." Clint muttered. Tony pinched him and Clint yelped.
"If gods are real then why can't they be?" Steve asked. Clint shrugged.
"I'm going to go have a look around." Jack announced.
"I think it's your bed time. Also your wounds still need time to heal." Loki said.
"No! I'm not tired!" Jack whined. "I slept all day!"
"Ya right." Bunny grumbled.
"It's mostly true." Tony cut in.
"Mostly?"
"He was reading too."
"You got him too sleep and read?" Loki asked astonished.
"Not that I had much choice." Jack grumbled.
"Why?" Thor asked.
"Fury thought Jack would attack us so he put him in Loki's old cell." Tony said sarcastically.
Thor's eyes grew wide. "I'm going to rip his head off!" He yelled in anger. Some of the agents woke with a start, staring at a furious god of thunder.
Jack gave Thor the sweetest smile. "I'm not mad and you shouldn't be." Jack said innocently. He smiled mischievously. "I plan to get him back."
"Isn't a snow ball fight enough?" Natasha asked.
"Nope, he's in for it now." Jack said. "Maybe I could get the help of the April fool and the god of mischief." He wondered out loud. Loki laughed. Thor sat and fumed. He would have to plan revenge too.
"I see that look in your eyes, brother, but remember your pranks suck." Loki said.
Thor scowled. "I wasn't planning anything." He said innocently. Jack rolled his eyes.
"Now that that's out of the way, I'm going to look around." Jack said and before anyone could answer the wind carried him out if the room.
"Be careful!" Tooth shouted after him.
"I bet we find him asleep in the rafters." Loki said. Thor nodded and chuckled.
"Should we follow him?" North asked worriedly.
"No." Thor said. "He'll be fine on his own."
They sat in silence for a while. Tony was researching something on his tablet, Clint was fooling around with one of his arrows and Natasha was cleaning her guns.
Bunny was the one to break the silence. "Why would Pitch attack you?"
Loki shrugged. "His voice was in my night mare, but never him."
"Yes, but he looked familiar." Thor said.
"He's been giving you nightmares?" North asked. The brothers nodded. "That is very troubling."
"I still think I've seen him before." Thor huffed.
"He kind of looked like Loki." Tony said looking up from his tablet.
"You saw him?" Thor asked.
"Just a glimpse." He said. "Tall, dark and creepy."
"I look nothing like him!" Loki growled. "Pitch's hair is short and spiked back, his eyes are amber and he had no eyebrows."
"Thanks for the description." Steve said. "Shouldn't we be out looking for him?"
"You can't simply fine him, mate." Bunny said.
"Bunny is right. Boogieman can't simply be found." North said. "Could he have gotten on Asgard?"
"No, Heimdall wouldn't let Pitch on Asgard unless Odin commands it." Thor said.
"Is there any other way to go to Asgard?" Tony asked. Thor looked to Loki.
"Yes, but as far as I know only Jack and I know how and where it is." Loki stated.
"Could shadow jumping, snow globe or tunnel work?" North asked.
"No. Asgard has magic shields." Thor said. Then shook his head. "I still can't shake the feeling I've seen him before."

Jack wondered around, not sure where to go or where he was allowed to go. Not that that would stop the mischievous teen. All Jack wanted was to be out in the open air with the wind in his hair and the sun warming is cold skin. He felt like he was slacking off at his job of being a guardian. He hadn't brought a snow day to anywhere for awhile. When he was making it snow it was usually at night when the children were in bed. Jack was on his way to see Jamie and his friends when he ran into Thor.
"Frost." Said a silky voice. "What are you doing all alone in the dark?"
Jack stiffened. He raised his staff on instinct. "Pitch." He whispered, then more loudly. "Twice in one day, really?"
Was it really dark? Jack listened. There was no quiet hum from the lights, no heat either.
"You seem not to be bothered by the darkness." Pitch stated.
"I've never been afraid of the dark." Jack blinked. Something was wrong. Pitch's presence was no longer there.
It was quiet, too quiet. No hum of lights, no water sloshing in the pipes, no air from the vents. It was eerily quiet. Something was very wrong.
He took off running for the bridge. On his way he could feel heat coming through the floor in only one place. Jack took to the air letting the wind guide him around corners. The door wouldn't open for him, he was invisible to it. Jack had to pry it open.
"What was that?!" Natasha panicked.
"It's me Tooth." Jack said. "What's going on?"
"Powers out, its pitch black. I can't even see my hand in front of my face!" Tony exclaimed.
"Pitch covered all the windows with nightmare sand." Bunny explained. "Just before the power went out the engine quit because it was overheating."
"Okay let's go!" Jack shouted. "I can fight them off for you. As long as we get there I can help if it is overheating."
AN: next time there will be action I promise. Now I really need to study for my exams. P.s. there is no real schedule for my updating.
