Chapter 2:

Kurt looked at the young Mutants before him with interest.

The two girls, Rapunzel and Elsa, had been sitting silently for the last couple minutes. Rapunzel, the shorter one had immediately kicked off her flip-flops and was currently sprawled across an old armchair, tenderly petting a chameleon and openly staring at Kurt's strange appearance with an interested and excited smile on her pretty face, while Elsa sat primly on a bench, her back ramrod straight, as she tried and failed to discreetly stare at him out of the corner of her eye. From her frightened reaction at his unusual entrance a couple minutes ago, and her nervous expression, he would say she probably hadn't had many interactions with any of the less human looking Mutants before. A small part of him wilted at her fear of him, but he quickly pushed it away. It wasn't her fault he looked like a monster. Everyone was shocked the first time they met him, he was used it. Besides, she'd warm up to him, they always did.

He was brought out of his thoughts by a loud bang as the library doors flew open.

He looked up in surprise and saw that the boy had just arrived, bursting through the doors with a surprised yelp (as if a certain someone with adamantium claws and a short temper had lost his patience and given him an unexpected push) , and startling his future teammates so much that one dropped her chameleon and the other fell off her perch with an undignified Thump!

The young man recovered quickly from his shock however, and decided to introduce himself with an enthusiastic "Heeeeeeeeres Jackie!" in a sing-songy tone that made Rapunzel giggle, and Elsa roll her eyes as she picked herself off the floor.

"Oh good, you're here. Now we can begin. Please, have a seat." Kurt gestured to the various chairs and couches scattered throughout the room.

'Jackie' flew over to a chair between the other two Mutants and sat down, leaning back and putting his bare feet up on Elsa's bench. A self satisfied smirk crawled across his face when he saw Elsa's disgusted grimace, and he winked at her as she gave him an icy glare before deliberately turning away from him and focusing her attention on Kurt.

"Hello! I am Kurt Vagner, Velcome to Xaviers School for Gifted Youngsters! This school has been a Mutant safe haven for decades, a place for Mutants to feel safe, learn how to control their powers, and, if they are interested, learn how to use their powers in battle. Ve are both a boarding school, which teaches grade 6 to 12, and the home of the X-men, a large superhero team composed entirely of Mutants who want to help people with their powers. Students can sign up for the X-men program at fourteen, though they're normally not allowed on missions till they're at least 16, and many of them choose to stay here as full time X-men after they've graduated."

"Why don't you teach younger than grade 6?" Elsa asked quietly.

"A Mutants powers almost always manifest during Puberty, so zheres no need for any younger grades. The youngest student currently enrolled here is twelve."

"If this place ends at grade twelve, then what are we doing here?" Jack asked him. "I thought this was a College course."

"Ve're branching out. You see, last year Professor Charles Xavier, our founder, decided that too many Mutants were joining the X-Men, instead of going out and forming their own government sanctioned crime fighting teams. Thats vere the Guardians program comes in. You three are our first class of Mutants who vill be affiliated with the X-Men but have your own fully independent, self-sufficient team. Vonce you graduate you vill be making your own decisions, on vhere your headquarters will be, vhat your code names are, vhat kind of crime fighting you do, its all up to you."

"Wait, when do we graduate again? And why are there only three of us?" asked Rapunzel, who seemed slightly overwhelmed.

"Vell, it's a three year program. You vill be trained by various members of the X-Men and sometimes guest teachers, on basic hand to hand combat, how to fully control your powers and use them in battle, Mutant history and diplomacy, designing your names and costumes, and pretty much anything else you need to know in order to become a smooth, well oiled machine. As for the number of students in this class, Professor Xavier went through a great deal of Applicants, looking for people who were powerful enough to properly protect themselves and their teammates, weren't interested in money or power but actually vanted to help people, and vere physically and mentally able to handle the difficulties of this kind of life. Zhen he went through again and picked the people who would not only get along with each other, but would make a great team. You three met all his requirements."Kurt smiled at them, revealing his sharp fangs.

"We gotta wait a whole three years till we're allowed to help people?" Jack made a face. "I want to do something meaningful with my life now. Thats why I'm here, instead of back home with my family."

"Don't vorry, ve believe in learning on the job." Kurt assured him. "You'll receive about six months of training, and then ve'll start sending your team on missions. After you complete the program, all you'll have to do is pass SHIELD's test and you're good to go."

"What about money?" Jack challenged him, blue eyes twinkling playfully. "How are we supposed to pay for fancy equipment, extra costumes, a secret headquarters? That stuff isn't cheap you know."

"You vill get funding from SHIELD and Stark Industries. At least at first. But zhen again," he glanced at the two girls, "I don't zink you'll have to vorry about money."

"What do you mean?"

Kurt looked at the young man in surprise before realizing that of course the students hadn't really been introduced yet, so he didn't know that the bubbly girl on the couch was Rapunzel Corona. As in Corona Fine Arts University, Corona Art Gallery, Corona Talent Agency, Corona Dance Studio...the list went on and on. The Corona Family was the biggest name in the art world today. If you wanted to be taken seriously as an artist, singer or dancer you had to have some sort of connection to the Coronas. Sure, Jack didn't seem like the artistic type, but he was still amazed that the boy couldn't recognize her from her face alone. After all, she was the other reason the Coronas were so famous.

"Oh, right. you haven't been introduced yet. Jack Frost, meet Rapunzel Corona and Elsa Arendelle, your new teammates."

"No way!" Jack laughed. "you're kidding, right? I mean, you're the Lost Princess? Seriously?"

Rapunzel nodded, cheeks reddening as her two classmates stared at her. Jack's expression was amused and excited, while Elsa seemed shocked and...angry? The temperature in the room suddenly dropped ten degrees.

"Wow, thats awesome!" said Jack, apparently oblivious to both the cold and the reason behind it. "Both my teammates are loaded!" he turned to Elsa, whose light blue eyes were narrowed angrily. "Hey, I know we just met, but can I borrow ten bucks? I'm broke." she didn't answer, but instead continued to glare at Rapunzel. "Aw, come on Elsie! You can afford it. You're one of the Arendelle girls." his eyes lit up mischievously. "Hey, are you the one who everyone was talking about because you tried to get married at sixteen and now you're dating some socially awkward jock who owns an ice cream store, or the one who's a total recluse and got disowned in her fathers will, but nobody knows why." he smirked as Elsa's attention finally travelled back to him. "Aw, who am I kiddin'? I can't see you holding a guys hand, never mind trying to marry one. and you can forget goin' steady for three years. You're way too uptight to have such a good relationship."

Elsa finally spoke, her voice shaking in anger. "I'll tell you which one I am. I'm the one whose parents went on a plane to go to a big party and never came back." the temperature dropped even lower as Jack finally realized something was wrong. " A party that was thrown in honour of someone who had been missing for a very long time." she looked straight at Rapunzel, eyes flashing angrily as a layer of frost crawled across the floor and up the walls. "If it weren't for you they'd still be alive." Elsa hissed at Rapunzel through clenched teeth. Rapunzel gasped as a thick sheet of ice followed the frost, spreading across everything in the room and effectively freezing the doors shut. Whether she was more surprised by the fact that Elsa seemed to blame her for a totally random plane accident or the snow that suddenly started whipping through the room as the other girls anger grew, it was hard to tell.

"This is all your fault!" said Elsa, as she stalked towards Rapunzel, a heartbroken expression warring with her hatred filled one.

"Look, Elsa, can't we just talk about this?" the confused girl pleaded as her chameleon took refuge in her pocket and Jack just stared, awestruck by the sudden ferocity of the formerly meek Mutant. Kurt crouched beside him, wordlessly watching the drama unfold, his yellow eyes wide with shock as he began mentally relaying the situation to the Professor, who had sensed the young womens distress and wanted to know what was going on.

"You. Killed. My. PARENTS!" Elsa screamed , gesturing angrily to Rapunzel and accidentally sending several large, sharp shards of ice hurtling towards her face.

"Aaahh!" Rapunzel shrieked, frozen in terror as Elsa's missiles rushed towards her, getting closer and closer every second-

Zoom! Jack jumped into action, flying into Rapunzel, and knocking her aside just in time for her to avoid being skewered.

"Argh!" Jack sank to the floor, blood seeping from his cheek and arm where two of the razor sharp shards had struck him.

"Oh no!" Elsa gasped, her anger quickly draining away as she realized what she'd done. "Not again.." she whispered as she sank to the floor. "Oh God, please, not again."

"Jack!" Rapunzel rushed over to the bleeding boy, trying not to slip on the treacherous ice that covered the entire room. "Here, just..give me a minute." she laid her hand on his arm and hummed a few notes. Jack stared at her in shock as the jagged wound closed and the pain faded into nothing. Rapunzel quickly did the same for his cheek, and they both turned their attention back to Elsa, who was curled up on the floor, her eyes wide with fear. The other Mutants had expected Elsa's blizzard to subside, now that her anger was gone, but instead it seemed to be growing stronger, as lethally sharp icicles grew from the walls and the temperature went well below -30.

"No, no, no, no, no, NO!" Elsa moaned, as Jack and Rapunzel clutched each other tightly in an effort to keep warm.

BAMF! Kurt finally had enough and teleported out of the room. BAMF! Two minutes later he returned, with Professor Xavier in his arms.

Elsa stared at the older Mutant, clutching her head as she felt him reach out through her mind.

'Sleep, Elsa...'

The wind and snow stopped immediately as Elsa fell to the floor, unconscious.

So, I'd like to apologize that this took a couple weeks.

I was so busy reading fanfiction I didn't have much time to write it.

Anyway, sorry that this is mostly exposition, but I threw some action in 4 you at the end there!

(sorry if it seemed a little rushed. i promise it will get better...just gotta get through the intro chapters...)

I used the awesome Disney theory that Elsa's parents died while going to Rapunzels wedding and tweaked it a little bit. I wanted to use the theory that Rapunzel and Elsa's mothers where sisters, but it didn't really make much sense, and seemed a little forced, so I took it out.

Guys, I'm so excited about this story! I have a million ideas running through my head, about there backstories and relationships and stuff, but I cant do that part till I've got this AU established! Argh!

well, at least i get to write some of Elsa's past in the next chapter...

btw, if you have any ideas for minor pranks that Jack (and possibly Kurt) can play on people, or any good zingers and jokes you think Jack would like, feel free to submit them, and i'll try to work them them in...
