Sick and tired of the constant humiliation in the Xiaolin world, Jack discovers a secret about his family lineage and finds a way to really shine.
Coming into his family inheritance, will Jack fit in at this Magical world as a 'good' student or will...
"Is it me or has everyone been acting weird today?" Jack asked obliviously as another group of students gave him a wide berth as they walked past.
"They probably heard about your little speech in Defence" Ling explained casually.
"What about it?" Jack blinked cluelessly.
"They're freaked out by the fact that if you were around during the war You-Know-Who would have won" Hikaru stated bluntly.
"What? You really think so?!" the Goth asked far too enthusiastically for his friends liking.
"Yeah... you know what, Jack? You weird me out too sometimes with how well you'd do as a Dark Wizard"
"Nah!" Jack waved off Hikaru's concerns just as a first-year caught sight of them heading her way and ran in the other direction fearfully "No worries! I gave up the life of Evil months ago"
"...Did he just say 'Life of Evil'?" Johnny whispered nervously.
"Sure did" Jack grinned as they finally arrived at the Lake where they planned to spend their free period "It's kind of a family tradition or right-of-passage" he shrugged as they settled under one of the larger tree's "Well, on my dad's side anyway. Being Evil is kinda seen as a teenage 'phase' on my mom's side though, nothing really serious, just petty stuff like how Fleur used to help find me minions"
"Wait! Fleur was evil?!" Hikaru gasped in disbelief.
"Psh! Nah, Fleur was more of a troublemaker" Jack snorted "Now, Gabrielle! She's gonna be Evil, I can tell!" he stated proudly.
"When you say 'evil', how evil are we talking about?" Johnny asked fearfully "Is she going to start randomly casting the killing curse or something?..."
"Doubt it" the Goth shrugged, leaning back against the tree trunk casually "She's a Delacour, not a Spicer. Besides, when I say Evil I mean it in a more detached scheming sort of way. Not a psycho maniac type of way"
"So she's more likely to ruin someone's life than take it?..." Ling summed up, deciding to just go with it. He was from an old Chinese family too so he understood how weird some family traditions could seem to outsiders, and as long as they stayed on the Goth's good-side they should be okay.
"In a nutshell" Jack nodded "The psycho's come from my dad's side. It's rare, but they do pop-up every couple generations. I bet the next one will be my cousin Megan, I can see her doing some fucked-up shit once she hits puberty"
"But she'll grow out of it... right?" Hikaru wondered, following Ling's lead and just accept it. They'd know Jack was weird from the start so there was no use freaking out about it now. In all honesty, it just made the albino more fun to hang out with; boring people were never fun to be friends with.
"No telling. Most of my family grow out of it quickly, others dedicate their entire lives to being evil to some degree"
"You have a weird-ass family, Jack" Hikaru snorted in amusement.
"Eh, it keeps thing interesting" Jack shrugged before glancing at his watch and climbed to his feet "We better head for the dungeons now. I don't wanna be late for Potions"
