Jack's POV

Jack laughed. This was fun. It had been ages since anyone new had seen him. Granted, he had his suspicions that it was unlikely to be a good thing that Ironman could see him. But so what? This was fun.

Sure Ironman's suit would have been far behind if Jack was actually trying to run away. But he wasn't, this was a game of tag, it wouldn't be as fun if there weren't a few close calls.

The Wind was trying to tell Jack hat aggravating the local hero's was unlikely to be a good thing, but Jack didn't really care. It was unlikely that they would be able to hurt him, besides, he hadn't done anything wrong.

"Jack! Arrow!" The Wind screamed in his ear.

Jack's eyes widened as he tried to turn and avoid the projectile but he was too late. The arrow only skimmed his arm which would normally have left him completely unfazed. Normal did not include exploding arrows.

The Wind momentarily lost its grip on Jack and he felt himself plumment a good ten meters from where he had been flying before.

Once the Wind had managed to stop his descent Jack looked around himself warily. He knew that Pitch could use arrows but he had not known that he could make ones which could explode.

He glanced up. Realised that Iron man had almost caught up to him and decided it would be a good thing for him to hit the ground. Ironman would be unlikely to be expecting that so he could still win his game of tag and Pitch wouldn't be able to get as clear of a shot if Jack was below the line of buildings.

When his feet touched the ground Jack felt the frost begin to cover the tarmac. Jack quickly pulled in his powers and began running along the street to find a suitable hiding place.

The alleyway he chose was dark, Jack pulled up his hood so as to hide his blinding white hair. He watched as Ironman flew down to street level, noting with no small sense of satisfaction that the man seemed to have no idea where Jack had disappeared off to. Jack grinned, this was a fun game, albeit more like hide and seek than tag at the moment.

Jack turned, now that he was hiding in the shadows he knew that it would be easier for Pitch to find him. Jack knew he was going to have to be careful about how he played this.

Jack pressed himself against the wall, constantly looking around himself to try and tell if Pitch was sneaking up on him whilst listening to Ironman to make sure the man had not found him yet.

"Hawkeye!" Ironman yelled, making Jack jump and turn towards him. "Where'd the boy go?"

Another man walked up to Tony. Was that this 'Hawkeye'? The new man shrugged at Ironman. "Don't know Stark, I hit him with an exploding arrow but he seems to have gotten away anyway."

Jack blinked. This 'Hawkeye' was the one who had shot him. The restrained himself from hitting himself in the head. Of course he was! His uncle had already told him about his teammate who was amazing with a bow and arrow, he should have realised immediately. Ah well, at least he knew he didn't have to worry about Pitch now.

He flashed a grin at his uncle's teammates, not that they could see him, and turned to leave. Jack wasn't going to risk a confrontation with the entire Avengers team. He was just going to have to risk not watching this storm run its course.

Huh Wait, the storm. Jack looked up into the sky. The snow clouds were still present, but it wasn't snowing anymore and the Wind was no longer blowing through the city like a gale.

"Wind . . ." He warned his friend and felt it blow apologetically against his skin. Jack knew the Wind had had good intentions but the storm needed to continue.

Jokul reached into his icy core and allowed some energy to leak out, just enough to influence the clouds to start snowing again.

"Kid! Stop freezing everything!"

Jokul swung around, eyes narrowed, ready to fight with his staff raised towards the sound of the Man of Iron's voice. Only to be hit with one of the Man of Iron's energy beams.

Jokul registered shock, then pain as Winter cried out in outrage at its spirit being attacked.

Then there was nothing
