Fire and Ice

Wanted

Sorry that this chapter is a day late, I was helping my aunt move pretty much all day yesterday and i didn't get a chance to do any writing.

"What are we going to do Jack? We are now officially wanted worldwide and they know exactly where we are." Marco said. Jack either didn't hear Marco or completely ignored him.

"Dammit. Tom must have noticed the energy spike of the universal portal."

"Probably. But what are we going to do?"

"I have no idea. We most likely only have a few minutes before the cops turn up on your doorstep so we need somewhere to hide."

"Do you have anywhere we could go?"

"I think I do. I have a friend in New York. Cassandra."

"We'll need disguises, everyone everywhere knows what we look like now."

"We'll just go buy some in a shop. We can use the armour."

"How? It's just armour."

"Didn't you know it could teleport? Well I'll do it know and teach you how to do it later." Jack walked up to the armour, which was by the stairs, and got in.

"Write a note for your mum before we go." Marco grabbed a piece of paper and a pen then quickly wrote something before leaving it on the table. They heard sirens approaching outside and decided it was time to go. Biscuit walked over to Jack and whimpered.

"Not you girl. Now both of you grab my arms." Marco walked up and grabbed his arm but Ambrosia stayed back.

"Are you sure you want me to tag along? I feel like I'd be a burden." She said.

"Na, its fine. Anyways I'm sure Cassandra would appreciate some company from a girl rather than just us annoying guys."

"I have to come now. Can't leave a girl in peril!" Ambrosia grabbed Jacks arm just as the police burst in with their guns up.

"FREEZE!!" one of them yelled.

"I'd love to stay but I've got to run! Tata!" there was a flash of light and when their eyesight became normal again the officers saw that the trio was gone.

"Where the hell did they go?"

"They probably used a flashbang and ran off. Come on, they can't have gotten far." The officers ran out of the house unaware that the fugitives were not close at all. In fact they were on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

The trio landed outside of a clothes store somewhere In Europe. Jack stepped out of the armour and it shrunk down small enough to fit in his pocket. They walked into the store quick so no one would see them. Inside they split up to find new clothes to wear. Jack found a black trench coat, some plain black track pants and a grey top with a snowflake and the words stay cool. Marco got a top with the Zen symbol and a sweatshirt with the words cool story bro but he kept his jeans. Even though Ambrosia wasn't wanted worldwide she still decided to buy a top that said extraordinary because Jack was buying everything. They walked up to the counter with their clothes and Jack pulled some money out of his pocket. The guy working at the counter looked up when they approached and got out of his chair.

"Hello, how may I help you?" he said.

"We'd like to buy these clothes." Jack handed them to the cashier and he scanned them.

"That'll be three hundred and fifty five pounds." Jack gave him the money and they walked outside. Jack went to make the suit regular size again but a hat in the second hand shop across the street caught his attention. It was a brown leather thing that was slightly battered but otherwise in good condition. He popped across the street and was back in a minute with it on his head.

"Let's go." He made the suit big again and got in. There was another flash of light and they appeared in the hallway of an apartment complex somewhere. Jack stepped out of the suit and it shrunk down again.

"Where are we Jack?" Ambrosia asked.

"We're trying to find my friend Cassandra. I doubt she still lives here but her parents might." He knocked on the door and a women with greying black hair opened.

"Hello there, how can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Cassandra."

"My daughter? She moved out of here a couple of months ago to live closer to her work."

"Could we get the address? We really need to talk to her."

"About what?"

"I'm Jack Frost, did she ever tell you about me?"

"Ah yes. Jack Frost. You gave her that bracelet thing that has some sort of power. She uses it to fight crime now."

"That sounds like a big cliché." Marco said.

"I know it is but she wants to help people so who am I to stop her?"

"Were can we find her? We need some help and she has my wand."

"Well I don't know you so I won't give you any personal details but if you do want to find her you can just look for crime at night. She'll probably turn up at some point."

"Okay. Thank you mam. Have a good day."

"You too." The women closed the door and they were left in the hall.

"Guess we have to find somewhere to stay until tonight."

(Midnight)

A women walked alone down a dark alley. She looked up at the sky and saw the red moon. She shivered at the sight of it, it was creepy. Just like this alley. She was beginning to regret going down it. Anyone could be hiding there. Turned out someone was there. He jumped out from behind a dumpster and grabbed her arm. She tried to scream but he put his hand over his mouth and pulled out a knife.

"Hand over your money and you don't get hurt." she fumbled around in her purse and pulled out some money. "That all you got in there little lady? Or are you trying to cheat me?"

"N...no. This is all I have." They heard a sound behind them and turned to see another person standing behind them.

"Leave her alone and I don't hurt you." The person said.

"Make me." The person fired a beam of energy at the man but he just deflected it. He took off his ski mask and voice distorter. "Just the person I wanted to see." Jack said.

"Jack? Is that you?"

"Yep. Is that Cassandra?"

"Yes! You came back!" Cassandra ran up to Jack and hugged him.

"Good to see you to Cassandra. So you fight crime now?"

"Yep. I figured out how to use your wand and decided I'd use it to do something."

"Cool. Now I can tell you why I came."

"You mean other than trying to mug that poor woman?"

"Her names Ambrosia and she was in on it. We had to find you somehow. Her boyfriend Marco is just around the corner."

"Ohhhh."

"Anyways, I'm here because of the alien that is threatening the Earth if me and Marco are not handed over."

"I heard about that. Why do they want you?"

"I'll tell you later. Right now we kind of need a place to stay so we can plan our next move."

"Are you going to hand yourselves over?"

"We'll talk about that later."

"Then you can come stay at my house. It wasn't exactly made for four people but it'll do."

"Thanks Cassandra. Let's go this way so we can get Marco."

"Okay." They walked off joking and chatting like it was just a regular day, unaware that someone was in fact in the shadows watching them. Gathering information. Learning their weaknesses. Waiting for them to let down their guard just for a second so he and his colleagues could strike.
