AN: My 3rd fan-fiction in the Avengers, Rise of the Guardians crossover category, but this one has elements form Assassins Creed (weapons, armor) and Nightshade (werewolf). I've actually planed this one! Now I've just got to write it. I can finally describe things with color.

Sorry for spelling or grammar errors. I know I will make a lot of them.

Jack yawned and opened his eyes. It was time to get up, but he didn't want to. Amelia, his daughter kept him up most the night. She had been whimpering and whining in her sleep. Jack had to wake her more than once for the nightmares to stop. Now she was sleeping peacefully under his chin.

Jack lifted his head and licked her forehead. Amelia's bright blue eyes slowly opened. She blinked a couple times then yawned.

"Time to get up." Jack whispered gently trying not to wake the other wolves. She nodded and stood up, a little wobbly on her paws. Jack stood and stretched. "Go sleep with the other pups."

"No, I want to go with you." She whined. Amelia looked up at her father giving him her best puppy dog eyes.

Jack smiled. "They don't work on me, only your uncles and grandparents. Come on your still half asleep. You won't know I'm gone." He grabbed her by the scruff and carried her over to another wolf with pups around her age. She curled up and went back to asleep.

The pack they where currently staying with was one of the biggest, just over 20 wolves. Each with a touch of winter's magic in their blood. Jack and Amelia where the only two real winter spirits. They can shift from wolf to human and back again whenever they wanted. The winter pack wolves where born wolves and stay wolves, never changing.

Before Jack was asked to take over the packs by Manny and Mother Nature they were constantly fighting causing super storms. The previous head winter spirit had no interest or connection with the packs. He had let them fight and kill each other almost causing another ice age.

Jack walked out of the den and looked around at the snowy landscape. Today there was a Guardian meeting and the pole wasn't too far away. Jack decided it was a good idea to run there. As soon as he stood to leave the morning patrol was just coming in. The pair nodded respectively and padded into the cave.

The white wolf took off running to the cost, paws kicking up snow. He was very fast for a wolf thanks to his small size. His pure white coat helped to camouflage him in the snow he lived in. Through his training as an assassin both on Asgard and on Earth made him one of the most deadly people alive. Jack's over protective older brothers where very skilled with their powers. Jack hadn't seen either in 30 years. Amelia has been bugging him to visit her uncles and grandparents, but Jack is busy leading the winter packs and keeping up with the Guardians expectations. North decided it would be a great idea to meet almost every week to get to know Jack.

Once Jack reached the coast he shifted back to human form. Each time he shifts complex magic is used. Technically Jack is both human and wolf at the same time and can move between the two forms freely. If one form is occupied the other is still there, just invisible. Jack's wolf instincts can take over when human if angered or threatened.

Jack stood looking over the ocean. He flicked his wrist making sure his hidden blade was working properly. It flicked easily in and out without any difficulty. Jack reached behind his hood where he kept a set of 5 throwing knifes. He never went anywhere without them; even a Guardian meeting. The rest of his weapons where in his room at North's. Jolly old Saint Nick had insisted that Jack needed a room at the pole and it seemed like a good place to hide his weapons away from Amelia. She might be old enough to know better, but Jack still worried that something, even an accident could happen.

He unclipped his staff from the small silver band around his neck. Years after Odin gave him the shepherds crook, Jack discovered he could shrink it down to a smaller size and use other weapons, but still have control over his powers as long as the staff was touching his skin.

The Guardians where so used to Jack having it full size that if he showed up without his staff they would make a big deal about it. Jack flew on the wind over the ocean and was soon over polar ice. The North Pole pack was running under him. Jack waved to them and the wolves howled back.

Jack landed on a windowsill and pushed the glass open. He floated down where North and Bunny where waiting beside the globe. The winter spirit landed on the wooden railing.

"Oi Frostbite, what's with the blizzard in Calgary?" Bunny asked sticking his nose in the air. Jack rolled his eyes. Bunny has been getting on his nerves lately. He turned to North.

"Where are Tooth and Sandy?" Jack asked with a yawn. He needs to get more sleep.

"Just finishing their jobs. They're about 5 minutes away." North said. "Didn't get much sleep last night?"

Jack shook his head. "Not a very fun night."

"Why didn't you use your room?" North asked.

"I was busy." Jack lied.

"With what?" Bunny asked. Jack hated when Bunny stuck his nose where it didn't belong.

"Seasonal business." Jack snapped. He was cranky and Bunny wasn't helping.

A smoky grey furred yeti walked up to North with a green wooden airplane in its paws. North picked it up and inspected it carefully. Then gave it back. "Good build, but paint it red." North said. The yeti groaned and nodded. Jack laughed.

Christmas had just ended and the yetis where already busy building next year's toys. The workshop was busiest Jack had ever seen. Yetis were moving packages and trying to find tools in the mess. Jack sighed and laid back on the railing blocking out the noise.

"Don't sleep Frost. They will be here soon." Bunny hissed. Jack closed his eyes anyway. He tuned into the pack alphas hive mind. It was like a radio for all the alphas to plan the winter without causing too much damage at once or needing a messenger. Only the leading alphas of each pack could use the hive mind. Jack listened for any tension among the packs, but there was none. A few of the North American alphas were planning a storm close to the Canadian border and another smaller storm in northern Ontario.

Sandy and Tooth flew in seconds later and North started the meeting. Jack sat up straight on the railing. He didn't have much input other than nodding once and awhile. He usually spaced out, like he was doing now. Seasonal spirits are not allowed to tell non-seasonals about weather patterns and the animals. No one, but the seasonal knew about the animals. Winter had wolves, spring had chickens, summer had snakes and fall had horses. Spring, summer and fall all more than two human spirits and less animals than winter. While winter had two human spirits and a lot more wolves.

"Jack?" Tooth asked fluttering over. She put a hand on Jacks shoulder.

"Huh? What?" Jack blinked groggily. 'Did I fall asleep?' He thought.

"I told you he wasn't listening." Bunny hissed. "You're so irresponsible."

"Sure Bunny, where ever." Jack said. "I'm not in the mood today." He grabbed his staff and hopped off the railing.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Bunny growled stepping towards Jack.

"None of your business." Jack said calmly. He needed to keep a level head and not let his anger and annoyance get the better of him. Jack could already feel his teeth sharpening. Most people knew to never look a wolf in the eye, but Bunny didn't seem to be one of them.

"No, Bunny. It's not." Jack growled turning away. "You know the season rules."

"Rules? Since when did you follow rules?!" Bunny laughed mockingly. Jack turned to face him. "You don't care about anyone, but yourself! You're a winter. All you do is hurt and kill people."

Jack narrowed his eyes. "It's part of the job." He hissed between sharp teeth.

"You're no Guardian. You're a cold hearted killer." Bunny yelled. Jack growled. He took a step back readying to shift and attack, but stopped. Jack needed to get away before he hurt someone. He jumped out the closest window. The wind lowered him down and as soon as his feet hit the ground he shifted. The wind blew snow up around the running white wolf, camouflaging him and covering his tracks. Jack ran until he reached the ocean. Then shifted back to human and flew over and landed on the coast Jack shifted back to wolf form and ran for the pack Amelia was with.

The winter spirit decided he needs time away from everything. Amelia had been bugging him to visit Asgard and it seemed like a good place to level his head and cool off.

Jack slowed his pace as he approached pack territory. A hunting party was just leaving and they asked Jack to join them. He politely said "no." And padded into the den. Amelia was wrestling with the other pups. She heard his approach and ran over.

"Daddy!" She barked happily, jumping up and nipping at Jacks ears.

Jack smiled. "Ready to go?"

"Where?" She asked tilting her head.

"To Asgard!" He yelled excitedly. Amelia's eyes widened. Her tongue lulled out in a wolfy grin. "We have to get outside of pack territory before we can call for Heimdall."

Amelia nodded and waited outside while Jack thanked the packs alpha. He walked out of the den and into the forest. Amelia followed close behind; dark brown fur shining almost red in the sunlight. She started to nip at his heals. "Hurry up!" She groaned. Jack smirked and slowed. "Come on, come on, come on!" Jack stopped and sat down. "Daddy!" She whined.

"Okay. We are far enough away now." He said. Jack lifted his head and howled. Amelia joined him. When he reopened his eyes Heimdall stood in front of him.

"Welcome back Jokul, Amelia." He said. Jack smiled. 'It's great to be home.' He thought. Footsteps came towards him. Jack looked to the sound, Thor, Loki and four other people he didn't recognized walked towards him. As soon as Thor caught sight of Jack he ran for him. Jack huffed. Every time he came home Thor chased him around until he got a hug. 'Might as well get it over now.'

"Jokul!" Thor yelled happily. He picked up the annoyed wolf. Thor squeezed him tight. Then set him back down next to his daughter. "You brought Amelia too!"

"Since when did Thor get a dog?" A man with a glowing blue circle in his chest asked.

Amelia growled angrily. "We are not pets or dogs!"

To everyone, but Jack and Amelia it sounded like a series of barks and growls.

"I wouldn't say that." Loki mumbled.

"Oh and why not?" The man asked.

"That 'dog' is our brother." Thor said. "And the smaller one is our niece."

"It is not." The man said. Jack and Amelia shifted and crossed their arms at the same time. "Holly crap! You're werewolves?!"

AN: Any questions? Just ask! This might be confusing, but if you have read Nightshade by Andrea Creamer than the wolf part would hopefully make more sense. This fic will be on Fanfiction, Wattpad, Deviantart and AO3. Same username!
