Ever since that terrifying day, Jack grew afraid of what he could do, and isolated himself within his room.

Once in a while, Jack would allow Loki to come in, but in short time, Loki would have to be forced out. At nights, Jack would scream tears as a nightmare haunted his preciouse mind; Loki just hated that his son's door was always locked, so he could not go in and comfort him.

Jack's screams were like hearing a thousand. One time, it was so terrible, a blue light filled the room and a blizzard formed outside, scaring the wits out of Loki.

"It's all my fault he is like this, father," Hiccup once said.

Loki disagreed. It was his fault Jack was the way he is. He was not there for his son to help.

Years past, and Hiccup was now twenty, Merida was seventeen, and Rapunzel would turn eighteen in a few days. Jack was sixteen, and everyone except Loki had no idea how Jack looked like now.

Like Rapunzel said: It's like he's gone away.

Loki had to agree with that. Jack was his son, and without him... He did not feel like he had a complete family. Not since Maranda- his wife died of a terrible incident. One he wished to not recall.

Anyways, Loki watched in his chair as Rapunzel colored and painted, Hiccup sharpened his dagger, and Merida shot arrows at a wall target. The father missed seeing all four of his children togther, laughing... He missed their horse playing... He mostly missed Jack.

Suddenly, Loki smirked. Rapunzel's birth day might be in a few days, but he had an early present for Jack. Getting up, Loki briskly walked down the hallway till he had got to a frosted door.

knock, knock, knock!

Loki waited impatiently for a response. "Yes?," a raspy voice spoke on the other side of the door. "Son?... It's me," Loki said. There was a groan or a mumble, then a click sound of the lock and the door opened, revealing a much older Jack.

"What do you want now, dad?," Jack questioned. Loki only smiled, letting Jack know what he wanted first. With a sigh, Jack stepped out of the way and Loki stepped inside. "What is it, dad?"

"What? I can't spend a little quality time with my youngest?"

Jack only looked at him plainly with a frown. Loki sighed and stepped towards the bed. "Listen, son. I know that your ongoing child hood is being rough, so..."

Loki bent down abd pulled a small box with blue wrapping from under the bed, and walked over to Jack. "Dad, Rapunzel's birthday is in a few days, not mine," Jack exclaimed. Loki shrugged.

"I know. I just thought since you might freeze yourself in your room before your birthday even comes, that we can count this as a early gift."

Jack grabbed the box and frost curled around it by his touch, making him cautious a little. Slowly, he pulled the ribbon off and opened the box lid, revealing two white gloves.

"Gloves? Dad, I am not cold," Jack muttered.

"No, put them on, blizzard," Loki chuckled. Jack slowly did so and Loki back a distance away.

"Okay. Now aim your hand at me an shoot," he instructed.

"What?! I'm not going to do that!," Jack shrieked, holding his glove covered hands away.

"Just shoot at me, Jack."

"Hell no!"

"Jackson, just do it!"

Jack shook his head in stubborness, so Loki had to take desperate mesures. "Jack...," he began sadly. "Hiccup died."

Jack froze. "What?," he whispered.

"It is all my fault. I accidentaly crushed him with a boulder."

Jack had tears brimming in his eyes of both pain and anger, before waving his hands at Loki, causing the father to brace himself... But nothing came. Jack looked down at his gloved hands in confusion, wondering why ice did not shoot out. "They worked!," Loki exclaimed happily.

Jack turned away from him and started to mourn for the death of Hiccup. Loki face-palmed his forehead. "Jack, Hiccup didn't die," he said. Jack gazed at him with a sniffle.

"Hiccup didn't die?"

"No. The only dead thing about the boy is his childish creativity," Loki muttered, holding the dragon knife Hiccup made for him, "I only lied to you so I could test the gloves."

Jack's eyes revealed anger. "You're crazy! I could have killed you!," he shrieked.

"But you didn't. Don't you see, my son? You can conceal your powers better and not hurt anyone!"

Jack understood his father's words and for the first time in five years, a smile married his face. "You mean I-I can go outside now?! I can talk to Rapunzel and Merida?! Hiccup?!" Loki smiled and pulled his son in a hug, tears and laughter coming between them.

A delicate layer of frost crept up Loki's torso, causing Jack to yank away. "What? I thought you said I could conceal my powers?," he asked frightfully.

Loki dusted the frost off his torso. "No harm done, my boy. Just as long as you do not have fear... Sadness... Or any thought of losing it, you will be fine," he swore. Jack soothed by the advice, and gazed at the door with anxious eyes.

"Can I?..."

Loki smiled and nodded. "No need to ask twice, son." Jack let out a breathless chuckle and darted out the door, and through the hallways till he nearly pasted his siblings, but skidded to a stop.

Rapunzel looked up from what she was doing and her eyes widened like a deer's in headlights. "J... Jack?" Her whisper was just enough for Hiccup and Merida to hear; They too gasped. Jack rubbed the back of his neck nearvously.

"H-Hey, guys... Oof!"

One by one, each body collided with Jack's, causing all of them to fall back, laughing in tears. "Yer no' in yer room!," Merida squealed in delight.

They all stood, gazing at Jack in question. "How can you control your powers?," Hiccup asked. Jack held up his gloved hands. "Father gave them to me," he chirped. The four turned to see Loki watching them with a full smile. "I miss seeing you all together," he said gently.

The siblings chuckled. Jack suddenly got a great idea.

"Hey, let's go do something!"

Rapunzel's eyes looked to her father along with the others, their eyes glistening anxiously. Loki nodded. "Go on. Let Jack live a little," he said, but then tossed a staff in Jack's lap. They watched as frost curled around the stick by Jack's touch.

"Use it when needed," Loki informed, "now go have fun."

With no hesitation, Jack, Merida, and Rapunzel ran outside. Hiccup on the other hand, hugged Loki.

"Thanks, father," he whispered.

Loki hugged him back. "Your welcome, my son. Now go watch over your brother and sisters." Hiccup nodded and ran outside... But little did he know, eyes were watching...

Oooh. I wonder who could it be? REVIEW!
