Jack
He paced back and forth in front of the globe, frustrated to no end. It had been a few days since the guardians had defeated Pitch, but he still hadn't remembered all of his memories. He still felt like something was missing, and he sure as hell didn't like that feeling.
He turned to the other four members who were listening to him as he paced.
"It's been four days! Five in an hour! Shouldn't all of them have returned by now?"
He turned to Tooth, desperation in his eyes. She sighed and lifted up from her perch on a table and flew over to him.
"Jack, these things take time. If I took the block off your mind right now, it would be like getting hit with a train," she said, "And it could damage your teeth", she mumbled as an after thought, shuddering.
"Wait, but you could do that?"
"Didn't you hear what I said? An onslaught of memories? Getting hit with a train?!"
"Could you ease it off maybe? That way, instead of all of that in a second, during the course of the next day?"
"Jack, you'll be living 18 years in a day. Isn't that a little extreme?"
"No."
"But-"
"Please."
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you."
She placed her hands on either side of his head and closed her eyes for a minute or two in concentration. The other Guardians had stopped what they were doing, watching the events with thinly veiled interest.
"Okay, there. I suggest finding somewhere comfortable to sit for awhile, because you're going to feel absolutely exhausted fterwards."
Jack nodded and flew up through the the large glassless window in the ceiling.
***
He was sitting on a roof overlooking the Colorado River when the memories started. He kept his eyes closed the whole time, living memory after memory after memory. Traveling through a different time.
Sometimes he would smile or frown, but mostly he kept a calm straight face.
When he opened his eyes awhile later, there was a collection of emotions in them: Sadness, hope, loss, anger, hatred, and love.
And desperation.
