PB's POV

Pitch looked up as a snow-globe portal was activated in the Globe room. North entered with a sleeping Harry in his hold. He was back towards 'normal'.

"Az zoon az hiz body completely took out the pain from the zhildren, he fell down."

Pitch nodded and moved towards the bedroom, North followed him. Pitch opened the bed and let Santa Claus put his lover on their bed.

"Normally Jack has to call me to go get him from wherever Harry fell down asleep." Pitch agreed. He touched Harry, but felt no extra fear. "Did my Nightmares...?"

"Jack brought him to the North Pole after you zent off the Nightmarez."

Pitch nodded.

"I'm not surprised. Even my Nightmares know better than to mess with you without me present."

"I'll have a room ready for a next time... I'm going to call Manny in a couple of hourz az zoon az Zandy and Tooth can zpare zome hourz. Vill you join?"

Pitch frowned and followed North out the bedroom, leaving the shadows to protect Harry from the Nightmares.

"Whatever for?"

"Harry. That'z no gift."

"Manny will tell you to let him finish what he started. To completely turn Harry into that skeleton as he've been trying since Harry first awoke."

North looked back in the bedroom direction and then at Pitch.

"If you zhange ideaz, you know vhere to go."

Pitch rolled his eyes and returned to the bedroom as North picked his snow-globe. He approached Harry and leaned at his side. Harry was peaceful now and Pitch knew it would take hours if not days for him to wake up.

"Pitch?"

Pitch stood from the bed and left the bedroom to find Jack.

"What?"

"How... how bad is he?"

"I've seen worse."

Jack's face was solemn, which was a strange look on the Guardian of Fun.

"Okay... that's good to know..."

"Harry knew." Jack frowned and looked back. "That your centre is Fun."

"Oh... he knew that he'd have to fight you in the end."

"And he'll pay for that." Pitch agreed and turned around. "Come. Your room is this way."

Jack gasped and was fast to follow.

"Really?"

"If I refuse for you to move in, Harry will withhold from me. It's not an empty threat. He really will."
