Jack And Katherine One-Shots

A Run in With The Delancey Brothers

"Well you never told me ya real name!" They were arguing. Again.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Katherine said putting her hands on her hips. They always fought about the stupidest things, right now it was about why Jack wouldn't let Katherine buy him new shoes. Where he got 'well you never told me your real name' out of shoes Katherine will never know.

"Look Kath I don't want to argue with youse, please stop trying to make things better!" He told her and turned for her fire escape.

"Oh no! You are not leaving after what you just said!" She said and stormed up to him grabbing his arm.

"Let me go Katherine." He told her his voice low. She glared at him, why did he alway insist on being so impossible all the time?

"I will not let you go! Jack I'm just trying to help." She said in an attempt to sound kinder.

"Look, I don't need ya help. I love you but I can't have you buying things for me, what would the rest of the boys think? It wouldn't be fair." He said still annoyed at her.

"I'll buy the rest of the boys new stuff too!" She said desperately.

"With who's money? Your fathers? No we ain't doin' that." He said and yanked her window open.

"Don't go!" She said, even though she was mad at him she still wasn't to keen on letting him go. He was obviously ignoring her because he continued to climb out onto her fire escape. "Jack!" She shouted as he turned from her. "Jack stop! Or-or so help me I'll come out there and get you!" Jacks head ducked back into her window.

"No you won't." He said simply and disappeared down her fire escape. She let out a noise of shock and irritation does he really think she wouldn't come after him?

"You watch me." She breathed under her breath and climbed out of her window after him. He was at the bottom of the fire escape by the time she got the last of her skirts out the window, she angrily gathered them up and followed down after him.

"Katherine go back inside." She herd Jack call as she reached the bottom.

"No I won't! Not unless you come back with me." She called back stubbornly. He was walking with long quick strides that made Katherine have to practically jog to catch up.

"Well, well, well." Jack and Katherine herd a voice call from a shadow in a near by ally. The voice was a familiar sickly sweet that made the hairs on Katherine's arms stand on end. Jack stopped suddenly in his tracks causing Katherine to run into his back, Jacks hand found her arm and he gripped her tightly and pulled her closer in a protective manner.

"Jack what's-" Katherine started to say but was cut off.

"Look at who it is. The great Jack Kelly and his little rich girl taking a midnight stroll. Could we get any more lucky?" The man stepped into the light and Katherine nearly let out a yelp of surprise. It was Morris Delancey and right behind him was his brother, Oscar. Jack grabbed her shoulders and spun her around and they set off at a brisk pace back to her apartment.

"Hey! Where you running off to?" It was Oscar who called this time. Katherine glanced back to see Oscar standing with his arms open like he was innocent, she looked around for his brother but couldn't find him.

"Just ignore them, all they want is trouble." Jack whispered in her ear.

"Trouble?" A voice said suddenly appearing out of nowhere in front of them. Morris stood in front of them a smirk on his face, he must have taken a short cut thro the ally's. How the heck did he move so fast? Katherine thought to herself. "Why is it you always think we want trouble?" Morris asked.
