“Yes, we need to get home.” he nods as he rushes around to grab the handle of the cart and begins to push it ahead quickly, running with it, grinning as he does. “This is going to be great! Do you have any gloves I can use or am I going to make them from any material around the place? I could use the curtains, I don’t know… gah, so many ideas…!”

She giggles as she follows him, sometimes rising a bit into the sky as if floating higher. She can hardly control her powers and it shows. “W-Whoa! U-Um..I have some blue gloves that match this dress.”

Speaking of, when she begins to float upside down, she shrieks a bit and tries to hold her dress down so her panties don’t show. How she isn’t floating away is anyone’s guess.

“Whoa hello!” Jack yelps, before grabbing hold of a long extension cord he bought. He unpacks it, swings one end like a rope. “Katelynn, catch! Tie it around your ankle or something!” he calls before throwing it.

But then he pecks her lips quickly with his own. It barely lasts a few seconds but it happens, and he pulls back, blowing out a small puff of cold air as he does.

“Sorry. Worth it.” he says with a smile.

She giggles lightly, still blushing. It’s like seeing someone splash red paint on a canvas. “Silly…” she whispers, feeling happy he’d risk it, though concerned for him. “A-As long as you don’t get frost bite from me or something..”

But she is anxious to get those gloves and if he can make them to help her out, then the faster the better. She walks over to the cart, her feet sort of floating off the ground. “We should..get home then..? I don’t want to cause havoc with these powers and I do..want those gloves..”

“Yes, we need to get home.” he nods as he rushes around to grab the handle of the cart and begins to push it ahead quickly, running with it, grinning as he does. “This is going to be great! Do you have any gloves I can use or am I going to make them from any material around the place? I could use the curtains, I don’t know… gah, so many ideas…!”

Then he smiles at her and, oh yes. There he is. It’s that same smile of a man who would do anything for her, attempt anything at least once to see her smile at him. Jack nods his head a few times. “U-huh, I already have a few ideas here.” he points to his head. He reaches out, and traces his fingers against her cheek, feeling the cool air coming off of her but he doesn’t mind. He doesn’t care. “Don’t worry. I’ll do my best for you.”

She smiles back at him, a blushing appearing on her pale cheeks. “Jack..thank you..but you shouldn’t touch me..I might freeze you by accident..”

She bites her lip, wishing to kiss him but knowing she can’t. It’s so hard… “My whole body might hurt you..I don’t know how to touch you right now and yet I want to..”

But then he pecks her lips quickly with his own. It barely lasts a few seconds but it happens, and he pulls back, blowing out a small puff of cold air as he does.

“Sorry. Worth it.” he says with a smile.

“I have all my memories, yeah. I remember everything. I mean. I have a good memory but it’s like a light’s been turned on. I remember being a baby and that’s just weird.” he shakes his head, before clapping his hands. “Oh! I can make you some gloves! Specially made so you can touch anything and not freeze it! Do you want those?”

“Su-Sure Jack..” she whispers, still trying to get over this shock of him. “Can you really make them?” Walks a bit closer to him, keeping her hands behind her and looking into his eyes, still searching for her Jack, for the man who she met.

Then he smiles at her and, oh yes. There he is. It’s that same smile of a man who would do anything for her, attempt anything at least once to see her smile at him.

“U-huh. I want to make some things. I mean I just have all these ideas, in my head, and I have to make them. You know? And… oh. Wow.” Jack says as he reaches out, touching the dress, touching her but not her hands. He’s mindful of her hands. “You look so beautiful in this color… with your hair how it is, it looks even prettier than normal. But then again you’re always pretty to me.”

She blushed which stood out more in her pale skin. “T-Thanks Jack..” she whispered, keeping her hands away from him. “A-Are you on your way now to go make these things? Do you..have all your memories also? Sorry..It’s just..so weird..seeing you this way..”

She peeked at him shyly from behind her bangs, biting her bottom lip.

“I have all my memories, yeah. I remember everything. I mean. I have a good memory but it’s like a light’s been turned on. I remember being a baby and that’s just weird.” he shakes his head, before clapping his hands. “Oh! I can make you some gloves! Specially made so you can touch anything and not freeze it!

“Wow. That’s… amazing! I can’t believe they’d do that to you, it’s also pretty cool. Ah. Hah. Sorry, no pun intended.” Jack said before touching himself on his chest. “I just feel… more confident. Suddenly. I don’t know what, or why, I was just sitting at home and next thing I know I want to be out here, doing things, making things, helping the guys out and you know. Doing things!”

She stood up slowly, her long hair shielding her body as she was dressed in what she had wanted to show Jack; a blue dress she had gotten while out with Metro Man.

It fit really well with her current powers.

“R-Really? Oh Jack..” she said softly, sounding sad. When this magic wore off and he went back to his normal self, would he suddenly feel worse than before, knowing he had confidence only for it to leave?

“S-So you’re just collecting scrap metal..?”

“U-huh. I want to make some things. I mean I just have all these ideas, in my head, and I have to make them. You know? And… oh. Wow.” Jack says as he reaches out, touching the dress, touching her but not her hands. He’s mindful of her hands. “You look so beautiful in this color… with your hair how it is, it looks even prettier than normal. But then again you’re always pretty to me.”

Was this really her Jack? she wondered as she stared at him. He had so much confidence in his eyes and the way he carried himself. He was outside without his watch for crying out loud! “I-It looks good..b-but..what are you doing? I mean I’m glad to see you as yourself but what about staying safe with the watches?”

“Ah ah, you didn’t answer my question.” Jack points out, gesturing to her. “What happened to you?”

Her hair is still as long as always but has an icy shine to it and the ground where her hands are resting are frosting over in her confusion. “S-Some magic anon gave me super powers..I think I turn things to ice…”

She looked down at where her hands rested, some steam coming up from her hands as if she were dry ice itself. “I can’t seem to touch things without turning them into ice..”

“Wow. That’s… amazing! I can’t believe they’d do that to you, it’s also pretty cool. Ah. Hah. Sorry, no pun intended.” Jack said before touching himself on his chest. “I just feel… more confident.

“Jack!” she cries, getting off of him and seeing the items in the cart. What was going on? She dared not touch him though or risk him getting hurt by the ice. “Jack what are you doing? Where did you get that leather jacket?”

He stares at her before he grins. “Katelynn! What are you doing?” he asked, before gesturing to her hair. “Your hair! Looks exciting.” then he recalls she had asked about his jacket, and he tugs at it. “Oh this, you like? My uncle Tony gave it to me years ago, I just never wore it before. Pretty slick huh?”

Katelynn had been floating for a while now, still shocked when it came to her powers. Anything she touched turned icy and cold and she tried hard not to but it was rather difficult. She groaned as she held a piece of grass which frosted over. How did the supers deal with this? “What if..I can’t touch Jack because of this? How long is it going to last?” she wondered, still trying to learn to fly. She ended up landing on her butt.”Ow!”

It was only by chance she happened to land just as Jack was rushing around a corner, dragging a shopping cart full of pieces of metal and welding material. He stops when he sees this long haired pale woman on the floor but she looks familiar. He strides up to her, stopping behind her, and tilts his head.
“Where did you fall from?” he asked.

“Jack!” she cries, getting off of him and seeing the items in the cart. What was going on? She dared not touch him though or risk him getting hurt by the ice. “Jack what are you doing? Where did you get that leather jacket?”
