Jack woke to a yeti staring down at him. He yelped and grabbed for his staff, only to remember, painfully, that it was broken. He wasted no time beginning to put it together again. He needed his staff in order to fully heal, and he felt broken without it, so he sucked back the nausea and got to work.

ROTG

Tooth rushed into the workshop, her wings beating furiously as she joined the others as they waited for Jack to finish repairing his staff. Bunny shuddered as a cold breeze leaked out of the winter spirit's recovery room.

"You know, I've been thinking about what Summer said and...what if she's right?"

"Don't be silly Bunny. Jack focuses power into staff to fix it. That is why cold comes out of room. You'll see. Jack is fine after he fixes staff." North said reassuringly.

A half hour later, the yeti in charge of Jack's recovery gave the others the ok to come back into the room. Taking deep breaths, the four Guardians stepped into the room, all of their eyes focused on their youngest member, who was sitting up in bed with his staff resting across his legs. His eyes were closed, and they all held their breath again as he slowly opened them.

"Oh Sweet Tooth..."

"No...come on mate you can fight this...Frostbite can you hear me? Fight it!"

"No vay...it cannot be..."

The eyes that stared back at them were glacier filled, dead, and pitiless. He shook his head, and for ten painfully long moments, the others were sure they had lost him to his Dark Age persona.

Just as suddenly as it came, however, the glint left, the boy closed his eyes and when they reopened, their normal ice-blue tint sent the Guardians into relieved sighs.

Jack was back.

Tooth threw her arms around him, minding his still-sensitive burns "Oh Sweet Tooth!" she sobbed happily "I knew you'd be alright!"

Jack was puzzled. Sure he had been out for a longer time than he estimated, but surely they knew he would survive right? The heart was not lost on him though, and he smiled warmly at each of his new family, touched that they cared so much about him.

"Good to be back." he said, then covered his mouth in horror. Bunny shared his look, and Tooth looked like she was going to cry and run to find and beat Summer again. He tried again "Hey kangaroo, mind if I-" he stopped. It was pointless.

Jack Frost was half mute.

On to part 2, Silent Winter arc! Yay!

BTW I have a bit of a dilemma...

I want to do a Jelsa arc...but I don't know how it would work. That's where you guys come in. Suggestions would be most excellent!
