Jack was leaned over; elbows against the railing on a balcony that over looked a snowy cavern. The North Pole was always a nice get away from everything, just to watch the yetis make the toys but today it was quite. No toys were being built, not one yeti in the shop. Jack turned and leaned back against the railing.

"I don't understand how I can even be alive, I mean if he did..whatever it was he did to me in the past, shouldn't it have affected my time stream or something…?" Jack was practically talking to an empty room. Bunnymund and North where down in the lower levels of North's workshop, he was helping Bunny deal with his changes to his size again. Sandy was off doing whatever it was North sent him off to do, leaving Tooth who was barley hovering off the ground. Baby Tooth hadn't left Jack's side the moment he arrived at the Pole. She was curled up in a ball on his shoulder.

In her own thoughts, Tooth "hmm?" and looked up at him, "Oh yes, well once you become a guardian you are one forever, you can't really die and you can't have your powers taken away unless the children stop believing in you. Of course Pitch knows this and my guess it he stole..um well your 'frost', what makes you who you are..-were." She paused a moment and grinned looking over at him, "Keeping up?" He was gawking at her and nodding slowly. Hardly, he muttered to himself.

"We all have our power source inside where out powers come from, a core if you'd like. It gets it charge-or fuel from the children that believe in us, but when the Man in the Moon chooses a new guardian it activates sort of..it's all a bit odd but when you were chosen by him and before you became a guardian, you had that power inside it just hadn't been awoke yet, that's why once the children started believing in you became strong, you were a true guardian."

"So your saying Pitch took that from my past life, before I was even able to change into Jack Frost and the only affect it had was turning me back into a human? But wait do that mean I'll start aging quickly and die within days?!"

"No silly, it's like your 'human' life was on hold that day you fell into the ice, now it will pick up where it left off, that's all." Jack relaxed, though this entire situation was a mess.

Tooth glided walked over to him. "Look Jack we'll do everything we can do get it back, but you have to understand…your human now, Pitch can get to you easier, you aren't invincible anymore, you can die now."

Tooth frowned and floated back and up a bit, "We're all losing our power and strength Jack and we won't be able to protect you as much as you may need to be.

As of now, it was just like before, except Jack wasn't there to stop Pitch and he had succeeded in pretty much taking over, filling the world with nightmares.

"Do you guys have any idea what you're going to do, I mean…if the past is catching up it's only a matter of time before all of you loss you power, I mean look how much, how many kids it took to save you guys last time." He crossed his arms and walked into the room. "Let's face it, none of you are really that great with kids, that's why I was the threat, I got Jamie to keep believing which got his friends to."

Tooth landed next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Jack this isn't just about us, it's about you, we need you too, you're part of the family now." She smiled sadly.

"We are not going tu worry, we vill fix this mess." A heavy Russian accent filled the room. Heavy boots strolled across the floor. North, jolly St. North, Santa Claus.

"Yeah? Tell me how you're going to do that North, with no powers against a crazy, powerful demon." Jack's voice was hinted with a bit of anger.

"I have plan!" North stopped a few feet from Jack, a big, wild grin on his face. His hands moved to his hips and he nodded.

"Oh was Sandy able to find him then!" Tooth flew to North, her hand balled up and her arms up by her chest, an excited expression danced on her face.

"Of course, I send Sandy and he found him." North seemed very please as to what, Jack hadn't a clue.

"Are you planning to fill me in any time soon?" Jack glared.

"Actually no, not that we can't trust you but with Pitch haven more power over you then normal mate, we can't risk it." Up over North's shoulder crawled a very small and as much as he hated it, cute Bunnymund. "You'll be staying with a friend until we figure out how to get your powers back." His nose twitched as he looked to Jack.

"Friend? What kind of friend? I refuse to get shipped off to that short green guy or-or that groundhog!" Bunny shuttered and scoffed at the name.

"No, no nothing like that, you know, you'll be fine." North patted his belly as he often did, a reference he did when he thought he was right, he could feel it in his belly!

"Wha-that didn't even answer my question!" North waved his hand towards Jack dismissing him and turned waving his hand for them to follow.

"Come we ride. We're meeting Sandy, then you see." Jack crossed his arms, Tooth smiling at him and took his arm pulling him gently.

After a short ride in North's sleigh, which resulted in Jack having to hold Bunny in his arms, for fear he'd fall out, even though he was completely against it and Baby Tooth having a split fit of jealousy now that someone almost her size, had Jack's attention as well. When the sleigh landed, Jack looked around. Bunny hopped off his lap, and out of the flying death trap, onto the ground.

"I don't know how you still manage to get me into that thing mate; you need to find a new way to travel."

"You travel by ground, I have sleigh. It's a part of me." He patted his belly again and got out.

"Where are we? This looks like a normal neighborhood to me?" It didn't make any sense to Jack. Normally anyone with powers or a potential guardian didn't live in a house like a human would. How was this 'friend' going to even help? He didn't want to just sit around and wait for them to come up with a plan. Pitch wasn't even worried right now, he had everything he needed and there was nothing else for him to do but wait for them to be at their complete weakest and strike.

"Ah Sandy, here he comes!" North was waving to Sandy, who was floating towards them. He was listening to someone keeping pace next to him.

"Who's that?" Jack got up and hopped out of the sleigh. North just smiled and placed his hand on his hips dramatically. Sandy waved back and landed a few inches off the ground. He wore a big smile like always and was motioning for the man to step forward.

"Jack I believe you've meet this young man before, you'll be staying with him just for a bit." Tooth smiled nodding excitedly.

"Hey Jack. Long time no see, even though every kid that speeds by me on a sled reminds me of you." The young man smiled. Jack's jaw just about dropped. He was older, taller, and more mature.

"J-Jamie?!" Jack's face lit up, it was so nice to see such an old friend.

Just to add, it's very difficult writing North. I don't speak Russian hence I don't have a Russian accent so when I try and say things he says it sounds odd lol. I wanted a few videos of Alec Baldwin voicing him and tried my best, that's why some of the words may be spelled wrong. Just imagine reading his dialog in a Russian accent. Jolly old man!

Hope you enjoyed and let me know what you think so far. I'm excited to have an older Jamie now, older then Jack! :3

I also want to just say things to everyone faving/watching/&reviewing! It really means a lot to get some feedback!
