Alpha 26
"Found it!" Steve yelled. The avengers and guardians were spread out across the floor looking for any sign of Jack. The avengers and guardians quickly found Steve and looked around. They were in a long white hallway, with windows down the right side and no doors on the left.
"Are you sure? There's nothing here." Tony pointed out. Steve's smirked and tap the wall.
"There is a room here. If you listen you can hear the fighting." Steve explained.
"Hulk, smash it!" Tony commanded. The Hulk smiled and picked up his fist and punched the wall. Suddenly wolves burst out of nowhere and ran into the room in front of the others.
Tony spotted Jack hunched over with red ice on his arm and side. Pitch and the Templar was froze to the ground, but trying to get out. David had a small pool of blood spreading from under his shoulder. The wolves rushed to their Alpha side.
Pitch finally broke from the ice with a snarl. He looked to the guardians then over to the avengers and back to Jack. The nightmare King flicked his wrist and formed pitch black sand wolves.
"Really? Wolves? You can't think of something more original?" Jack said with a cough. Pitch narrowed his eyes and pointed at the winter god. The nightmare wolves rushed forward to attack Jack, but the assassin's wolves met them instead. Jack's wolves had no problem taking the imposters down with sharp teeth and claws.
The avengers and guardians quickly jumped into the fight stepping between the nightmare wolves and Jack. Thor and Loki thought their way to their younger brother. Once they were at his side they could see how bad Jack was really hurt. They tried their best to keep the wolves at bay, but Jack was still doing a lot of fighting and they could see he was weakening.
"Are you okay Jack?" Loki asked kicking a nightmare wolf in the jaw.
"Just peachy." Jack grumbled. Thor and Loki both raised an eyebrow. "Really guys, I'm fine. It's just a scratch." He lied. "I'll patch it up later."
"Does it hurt?" Thor asked.
"Gee I don't know!" Jack growled annoyed. He remembered the Apple and quickly looked around for the glowing orb. It was still in the same place in the corner of the room. David was still reaching for it but the ice had reached his shoulders. The winter assassin called the wind and took off. He flew high above the battlefield out of reach of any of the nightmare wolves.
Jack landed beside the orb and picked it up. He whistled loudly and called for Ipsum. The Wolf turned and looked at him. Jack through the Apple across the room where Ipsum caught it in his mouth and ran out the hole the hulk made in the wall. He looked back down to David. The ice has grown over his hand and spread across the floor. The Templar was completely encased.
Pitch's nightmare wolves' numbers quickly fell and he was unable to make more. The avengers and guardians stood back and watched as Jack's wolves circled around the nightmare wolves and Pitch. They'd lost sight of Jack until they spotted a pure white wolf amongst the others. The night mare wolves kept their head down in submission.
With a single flick of his tail frost spread like wild fire and crept up the nightmare wolves legs freezing them solid and shattered from the intense cold. Jack shifted, standing right in front of Pitch looking directly into his golden eyes. "You're done Pitch." He snarled.
The guardians and avengers step forward in approval. Pitch looked over the group was fearful eyes. He quickly gathered his shadows and vanished into thin air.
"Where'd he go?!" Clint asked loading another arrow.
"Gone for now." North said putting his sword away and relaxing.
"He won't be back for a while." Tooth said trying to calm down the avengers.
"But shouldn't we imprisoned him or kill him or something?" Natasha asked.
"You can't kill fear." Jack said with a smirk. "North, you got a first aid kit around here somewhere?"
"There was one out in the hall on the wall. I'll grab it." Bunny said before hopping out of the room. He came back with the kit in his hand and handed it to Jack. The assassin thanked him and sat on the ground looking through the kit for what he needed. He easily found what he needed and started to melt the ice off his side.
"Shouldn't your blood heal that?" Banner asked.
"No. It only heals others, not me." Jack explained will disinfecting his wound. He grabbed the needle and started to stitch his side back together. The avengers and guardians stood and watched in amazement at Jack's needle work. Once he was done with his side he started on his arm. The arm was the easier one out of the two and took little time to sew. The assassin put everything back into the kit and handed it back to Bunny. "Thanks."
"No problem mate." Bunny stuttered.
"Where did all the wolves go?" Natasha asked noticing they were gone.
"They're at the assassin bureau. Jamie and Amelia are there too." Jack answered.
"Where's that?" Tony asked.
"Sorry can't tell you." Jack smiled innocently. "Assassins only."
"So you can tell Clint and Nat then?" Tony smirked.
"They maybe assassins, but they're not assassins." Jack said as they headed out of the building. "That sounded better in my head. Any way, I need to check on the packs and get Jamie home. Do his parents know he's gone?"
"Yes, the local police made up something." Steve said. "We can take him home if you'd like?"
"No it's fine. I'll meet up with you later." Jack said as they walked out the front door. Police had surrounded the building and had weapons drawn as they exited. The cops quickly lowered their weapons as they saw the avengers. They split to let them pass. No one asked questions or batted and eye.
A loud conversation caught Jacks attention. Three people were standing next to the building. One was tall and blond; the other two were shorter and looked identical except ones hair was a darker shade of mahogany. Jack assumed they were twins or at least brothers. All three had weird curls sticking out of their hair.
"Sorry about that dudes." The blond one said. "I'm not sure why they acted out like that, but it was wicked cool!"
"You better be sorry." The darker haired brother growled. He has an Italian accent. He looked down to his shorter sibling before looking back to the blond. "You hamburger loving idiots need to keep your 'heroes' under control!"
"Oh Lovi, you need to be more kind." The shorter one said with a smile. "We accept your apology, but please do not let it happen again."
"Of course." The blond said with a charming smile. "You guys got any pizza around here? I'm starving bro!"
"Jack? Hey! Jack!" Tony yelled waving a hand in front of his face. Jack blinked and looked over to the armored man.
"What?" He asked.
"We'll meet you at my tower." Tony said. The assassin nodded and watched the avengers and guardians walk off. He called the wind and flew to the coliseum. He found the entrance and flew into the main hall.
Wolves were everywhere with a few assassins among them. Jack spotted Amelia and Jamie running towards him and they jumped into his arms.
"Daddy! Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" Amelia asked quickly.
"No I'm fine." Jack lied. He set the kids back down. "We need to get you home." He said to Jamie.
"Aww! Do I have to?" Jamie complained.
"Yes." Jack sighed. "What would your parents think?"
"Yeah I guess so..." Jamie trailed off.
"I need to check on some wolves." Jack said. Amelia and Jamie nodded and went back over to the pups. The assassin called the alphas forward to get reports on the battle. The alphas reported that there were no deaths among the packs or serious injuries. Jack was relived. They got lucky this time.
The assassin dismissed the alphas and walked back over to Jamie and Amelia. As he walked he noticed that the packs were mingling a lot more. He was happy that the wolves were getting along better and not at each other's throats. "Okay guys time to head home." He said reaching the kids. The wolves would start the trip back to their territory soon as well with Heimdall's help.
-"Sometimes you gotta run, before you can walk."-
"We'll be back with the first snow fall." Jack smiled.
"Then we can play and have fun for months!" Amelia jumped up and down with excitement.
"You better." Jamie joked. "I better go inside. Mom will be mad." He smiled and ran off into his house.
Jack turned to Amelia. "Piggy back?" Amelia nodded and the winter god bent down and she climbed onto his back. "Hang on." He said before taking off into the sky.
