So this chappie is about Jack getting beaten up by the spirit of fall and then hundreds of years later telling the Guardians.
It had been two days since the nightmares had attacked Jack, and in those two days the Guardians had learnt more about Jack's painful history and regretted more and more their choice to ignore him for the past three hundred years.
"Good news Jack, your wound is healed, you can leave medical room now."
Jack had been cooped up for days and for a free spirit such as Jack it was worse than torture so when North had barged into his room announcing that he was free to leave he needed no further encouragement. All North saw was a flash of white as the frost child sped out of the room.
Several hours later when Jack had worn himself out, zooming along the Pole's many corridors, he collapsed into one of the fur-lined sofas only to be swarmed by the others.
"Jack you never told us about that final scar, the one that…" Tooth broke off when her voice wobbled as she remembered the terrible scar that stretched across Jack's torso.
Jack looked away; the story of that scar still frightened him, even now several centuries after he had acquired it.
"Listen mate, you can tell us we're frien…family."
Jack looked up at Bunny's choice of words and a small stretched across his face and the fear that flickered in his eyes died down.
"Yes as Bunny says we are family, family helps each other." North draped one huge arm across Jack's shoulder, nearly crushing the boy under their weight.
Jack nodded and then for the last time began to tell his story.
Jack Frost was still very young he had only been around for fifteen years; he had no idea of the centuries of loneliness and pain ahead of him before he would get what he wished for so desperately. For now though he just wandered about, bringing the winter weather while searching for a just one person who did not look though him.
He found them in the form of a young boy with flame- red hair, strangely dappled brown and gold eyes and leaf-brown cloak and trousers.
"You must be the new winter spirit everyone is talking about." The stranger regarded Jack with anger in his green eyes.
Jack nodded, slightly star struck by the interaction.
"I hate winter, always have and always will it is the season of death and misery." Jack frowned now, the stranger's criticism of his season irritating him.
"Not like autumn the season of joy and beauty, autumn is the season that everyone loves." The stranger looked down at Jack and he got the feeling that he wasn't strongly liked by the imposing spirit.
"I suppose I should introduce myself, I am Alex Fall, spirit of autumn." Alex bent low in a mocking bow before he rose into the air, leaving Jack alone, again.
The two spirits would accidently meet each other during the next few decades and with each meeting their hatred towards each other strengthened. Until eventually they would go out of their way to make things harder for the other. Alex would make fall last as long as he could, infuriating Jack who in return would hunt Alex down and freeze him to the ground where he would remain all winter until the warmer weather arrived and the ice melted.
Jack went a little too far though. He tricked Alex into following him to the Arctic where he left him completely frozen apart from his head, leaving Alex free to swear and curse but unable to free himself until the fall when his powers were at their strongest.
When fall did come and Alex freed himself from the ice he straightaway set about finding the infuriating winter spirit.
It was the last few days before winter ended and Jack wanted to give the children one last snow day before he left and so he spent the entire night summoning blizzards until the country was covered by a thick layer of snow. Proud but exhausted Jack had collapsed into a snow pile and drifted off to sleep, only to be awoken by a furious Alex.
"You selfish, arrogant, pathetic little runt!" Alex raged at Jack, cursing the day that MIM had created the boy.
"I ought to kill you, it would make the world a better place if your wretched body wasn't taking up room!"
Possibly if Jack had just lain there and let Alex rant until he had gotten it out of his system then maybe everything would have been alright. But no, Jack being Jack had to laugh at the enraged spirit which only created more rage.
Alex swore at Jack in an ancient language, long since forgotten by everyone save the immortals, before taking to the skies and leaving the winter spirit near hysterical with laughter.
Alex spent many days perfecting his weapon, it was a smallish dagger that despite its size was deadly sharp and with the help of the summer spirit (who was completely unaware of the daggers purpose) he had imbued it with the heat of summer.
The heat and the bleeding caused by the dagger would almost certainty bring about the death of the winter spirit.
Finally his perfect weapon was ready for its deadly mission. Alex would seek out Jack Frost, and then with the help of his wonderful dagger, kill him.
It was Jack's last day before he left the country for somewhere cooler (Russian perhaps, he hadn't been there for a while) and so he was whizzing about spreading the last touches of frost before spring arrived and he left. He was so absorbed in his task in fact, that he didn't hear the whistling of a wind that was not his own, nor did he hear the metallic scrapping of a weapon being drawn from its sheath.
"Jack." The winter spirit started slightly as a low voice disturbed his peace, spinning around he came to face to face with Alex and a very sharp dagger. Immediately all of his senses were on full alert and every survival instinct that he had kicked in. Alex lunged forward just as Jack darted back, narrowly avoiding the razor-sharp tip of the dagger.
For several minutes this continued neither spirit able to gain the upper hand. But Alex was far older than Jack and his age gave him added wiliness so when the slightest chance came he took it and scored the blade down Jack's front, causing the winter spirit to cry out in pain as the burning heat from the blade hit him.
Alex looked down smugly at the small figure curled up in the snow beneath him.
"I said when we first met that I would kill you now I am just fulfilling that promise." With that Alex tossed down the bloodied weapon and left the frost child bleeding to death in the snow.
Jack sobbed quietly to himself as he felt his lifeblood gush out of his deadly wound, his wind howled around his head as it mourned for its frost child and raged over the fact that he hadn't been there to protect its beloved child.
Slowly Jack faded into unconscious, believing that he would never awaken.
So when his eyes flickered open to gaze upon the beautiful world around him it came as shock. What shocked him more was the lack of blood flowing from his wound, granted there was still small droplets but nowhere near a life-threatening amount. Confused and very groggy, Jack sat up. The snow around him was covered in his blood as was his staff which he had unconsciously pulled closer towards him while he was seeking some comfort from the pain.
Jack mentally steeled himself and looked again at his wound. It was almost completely healed over, only a few areas still leaked blood.
"Good your awake, I was starting to think that you weren't going too." Jack yelped in surprise when a voice came, seemingly from nowhere. Sitting carefully balanced on a staff much like his own one, but lacking the beautiful frost pattern, was a young girl with long, slightly wavy blonde hair and brilliant green eyes. She was dressed simply in light green trousers and a white shirt. Her smile was her greatest feature though; it seemed to make everything around her much brighter and just looking at it made Jack feel warm for the first time in years.
"How did you know I was here and why did you help me and who are you?" Jack had so many questions that they just burst from him in a steady stream.
This seemed to amuse the strange girl who laughed before flashing her stunning smile again.
"I knew you were here because I had been tracking you ever since… I helped you because you were dying and I owed you, and my name is Aurelia Calor but please call me Lia."
Jack was silent for a moment as he processed this.
"You said you were tracking me, since when?" This new question prompted another smile.
"The spirit who wounded you, Alex Fall, sought me out to help him prepare a weapon." As she spoke the enchanting smile fell from her lips and her green eyes became guilty and sad.
"I had no idea that he was planning to use it on you, he told me it was for self-defence, I soon realised what he was planning to do with the weapon that I had helped create after speaking to several other spirits about you and Alex, so I followed the winter weather and found you here." She finished speaking and once again the smile was back. Jack nodded, silent again as he digested this new information.
After a minute or so Jack had another question
"How did you stop the bleeding?"
"Some of natures gifts, and age-old traditions." The girl smiled again (she never seemed to stop smiling) at Jack's frustrated expression.
"I am sorry to have to leave you, but I believe that neither of us are needed here just yet." Jack sighed as he realised she was right. He should have already reached Russia.
"Although it was my pleasure to meet you Jack Frost."
"The pleasure was all mine, and Aurelia if you ever need a favour just ask me, I owe you one."
With one final smile, a slight nod and a cheerful wave Aurelia was gone.
Jack was sad to see her go but at least now he knew he wasn't completely alone. There were spirits out there who cared.
Jack smiled to himself as he flew off, and for the first time in a long time, with his encounter with Aurelia still fresh in his mind, he felt so much less lonely.
As Jack finished his tale there was an uproar.
North and Bunny were baying for revenge while Tooth and Sandy were trying (and failing) too calm them both down.
Jack just balanced carefully atop of his staff and watched the goings-on with amusement. He was glad that the Guardians were ready to confront Alex but as much as he tried to hide it a small part of him was still scared at the thought of Alex (to be fair he had been stabbed by him) and the idea of seeking Alex out then extracting revenge simply terrified him.
"What do you say Jack?" Jack was shaken from his thoughts when he noticed the Guardians all staring at him waiting for an answer.
Stammering, Jack struggled for an answer that would show he was grateful and still convince them that he was with not getting revenge on Alex.
"Yea no, don't worry about it, it happened three hundred years ago he's probably forgotten." The Guardians frowned at this less than satisfactory answer.
"No mate, he needs to learn that he can't do this and whenever it happened he is going to be punished for it." Bunny and North both nodded firmly and drew their weapons, with fierce warrior-like expressions.
Jack sighed, he always knew that he was going to have to face Alex again but a part of him had hoped that it would be when Alex was possibly dead or dying and then the sight of him wouldn't make Jack remember the pain Alex had inflicted on him. Although judging by the faces of his friends…family then quite possibly in the near-future Alex could be dead or dying...
"This summer spirit you spoke of, Aurelia do you know where she lives as she may be willing to help us?"
Jack was silent as he struggled to remember, in later years he had met Aurelia a few more times and she had briefly mentioned Africa.
"Oh crap!" Jack cursed as he realised where they were headed, his least favourite country Africa!
"To de sleigh!" Despite his growing dread about what was coming (Africa and Alex) Jack had to laugh at Bunny's terrified expression as North yanked him onto the sleigh.
Sighing Jack leapt up onto the sleigh and steeled himself for what was to come.
