Issue #6

(Was planning to release 3 this morning but my company is moving offices and I gotta help. On a Sunday. So I will release the other chapter or 2 later today. If I feel like it. Which I probably will.)

"Hey there. Jack Frost," Jack introduced himself to the young woman while studying her.

Anyone could tell through the girl's tight outfit that she had a curvaceous body that would make most women jealous mature women jealous. She was also tall for a woman, being about 5'10" even without heels on. But Jack was able to tell from her youthful face that the girl could barely be 18.

"Like what you see, Mr. Frost?" Felicia asked. Seeing him studying her, Felicia smirked before she made several sexy poses.

"Hmm. Your appearance is definitely top class. You all can go bring her to Scott or Ororo so that they can get her enrolled. I have some other things to attend to," Jack said before walking through the door and heading toward the basement.

Felicia watched him walk away with a smile on her face. She instantly felt attracted to Jack and wanted to get closer to him.

"Don't even think about it," Jubilee warned her. "He has a fiancee and 6 daughters."

Felicia looked at the other girl and flashed her a smile.

"I have a nose for men. He isn't the type to only have one woman. I think I still have a pretty good chance," Felicia said confidently

Jubilee shook her head as she thought about how the school had gotten another weirdo to join them. The rest of the team went back to their rooms so it was up to Jubilee to bring Felicia to the headmaster's office to get enrolled.

Meanwhile, Jack's elevator arrived at the basement level, where he saw the Stepfords. They seemed to have just gotten done with a training session in the Danger Room.

{Girls.} Jack greeted them

{Dad.} They said back at the same time. {What brings you down here?}

{Was going to check on Luara since she seems to be in a bad mood, but it's been a while since we have had some one-on-five time. I figured we could talk for a bit if you wanted.}

{No thanks} they rejected him instantly. The last time they had spent some time talking, he had gotten them to open up far more than they had expected to.

Even after getting to know him for over half a year, the girls still weren't willing to open up so much with Jack due to their insecurity because of the experiments conducted on them. While they loved and trusted him, they were much closer to Emma.

{Boo. You girls are no fun.} Jack complained but he quickly recovered {Let me know if you need anything, though}

{We will, Dad} they quickly agreed before boarding the elevator and heading upstairs. Jack continued through the basement before he arrived at the Danger Room control center. He walked up to the glass to see the simulation that was running in the main room.

Laura was fighting 2 Sentinels by herself and doing a pretty good job from what Jack could see. Laura was digging into the neck of one of the two Sentinels with her claws.

'She is smart. She retained what I taught her and is using it properly while also adapting it to her own style. It would take at least 5 Sentinels to bring her down.'

Just as Jack thought that Laura burst out of one of the Sentinels' heads, causing it to fall over onto the other one. Taking that chance, Laura climbed into the other one before tearing through it just like she had done the previous one.

[Nice job, Laura] Jack said over the intercom

The teen girl looked up as she saw the holograms were turning back into data. She could see Jack looking down on her from above before he phased through the command center and landed in front of her with his usual smile plastered on his face.

"What's got you so stressed?" Jack asked worriedly

Laura didn't want to say anything at first but when she saw the genuine concern in Jack's eyes, she felt that she should be honest with him

"...I have no friends," Laura finally said, her cheeks gaining a slight blush

"Oh. I see. Well one question, Laura. Have you tried to make any?" Jack asked in his usual tone before sitting next to her. Laura also sat done by his side.

"Yes. I have tried with several others but they say the way I speak is weird or that I don't respond the way other people would. I'm not like that new girl we brought back," Laura admitted

Jack looked at the girl and chuckled. She was indeed very different from your average teenager. The Stepfords had each other and were used for spying so they learned how to communicate with others and understand emotions. Being telepaths also helped.

Laura was raised as a weapon so those two skills were unnecessary. All she was required to know was how to kill so she had a more robotic or direct way of speaking. With most people, she still spoke that way even after leaving the Weapon's Program.

But Jack was laughing because Laura couldn't see that there were several girls her age who truly wanted to befriend her. Jack had seen it in the cafeteria and hallway several times.

"Laura, there are actually several people that consider you a friend here. But you prefer to train or eat alone when they ask you to hang out. So for the next week, when a girl asks you to hang out, why don't you say yes?" Jack requested before hurrying to add, "Only a week. If it doesn't work out or change your situation, you can try another method."

Laura looked at Jack for a few moments before nodding.

"Fine. But only a week," Laura said before laying her head on Jack's shoulder. She took a deep whiff and smiled when she smelled the scent of an autumn forest on Jack's body. He always made sure to smell like that when she was around since it seemed to relax her

The pair stayed like that for another 10 minutes before Laura got up to go and try out the new plan of making friends. Jack smiled as he saw her off before teleporting to Emma's office at Frost International.

When he appeared, he saw two faces he was glad to see and two he wasn't.

"Christian, Emma. I came to see if you wanted to have dinner together tonight. May I know who these two beautiful ladies are?" Jack asked even though he knew his answer

Chrisitan also knew Jack had the answer but played along since the women weren't familiar with him

"Jack. This is Adrienne Frost and Cordelia Frost, our sisters," Christian said with a smile

Jack looked at both women and flashed them a smile while suppressing his desire to kill them then and there.
