Hi, this is my first fanfiction so don't expect to much. I had this random idea to pair springheeled jack with someone and ended up with China Sorrows of all people.

China Sorrows waited on the rooftops off London for her informer. He was due any minute now and China was getting impatient.

"China." Said Springheeled Jack with a nod of his head. China turned and looked at him.

"I trust you have the information I need." She says.

"Of course." Jack says in his London accent.

"Well?"

"You really are beautiful you know."

China immediately turned off her power.

"Even without that power of yours."

For some unknown reason China felt herself blush. She immediately felt furious at herself. She was not one to blush. She was China Sorrows, loved and feared by all, yet she never felt the smallest sign off affection for anyone else, and she most certainly didn't blush.

"Tell me what you know Jack. My patience is wearing thin"

"I know lots of things."

China was getting irritated. She brushed the sigils on her fingertips and went to grab him but she felt herself hesitate. She knew the pain these sigils would bring and she knew they would make him talk, yet still she hesitated. Not quite so sure that this was the best thing do to. That slight hesitation was enough for Jack to flip out of the way. His signature top hat staying placed on his head, despite the backflip he just did.

"Alright, no need to get nasty."

China raised her eyebrow ever so slightly, reminding Jack that he couldn't talk.

''I heard that they were meeting in Australia, some place in the south called the Eyre Peninsula. I don't know much more than that."

China looked at him, not quite satisfied.

"What about Arskan? Will he be there to?"

"I'm not sure, but I doubt he'll miss out on such a meeting as this."

"Can you find out more?"

"Why of course I can, I'm Springheeled jack."

And with a tip of his hat, Jack flipped off into the night, leaving China to gently smile as she walked away, looking forward to the next meeting with Springheeled jack.

Springheeled Jack flipped and ran his way across the London rooftops, he knew the powers China possessed and he knew that the so called "love" he felt for her was artificial and fake. But why didn't it fully disappear when she so obviously turned her power off? Jack shook his head to clear his thoughts, he needed to focus on getting that information. He decided that a good way to clear his head was to kill someone, so he jumped down to an alley way where a man was walking by.

"Hey there, could you help me for a minute." The man hardly even glanced at jack as he walked past.

"People are so rude these days." Jack mumbled to himself as he pulled the man into the alley and used his fingernails to silence the man's screams by ripping out his voice box. Jack let it drop to the ground and stuck his pinkie finger into the man's heart to be sure that he would die. He then walked down the street a small way before climbing a building. He did a little somersault before finding a place to rest for the night. After all, even the most unique people need their sleep, tomorrow he would find out more for the stunning China Sorrows.
