Maybe she’ll become responsible if she takes on… well… responsibility?” North was unconvinced but he did trust Manny’s judgement. “I say we should at least talk to her. Sandy, Tooth – why don’t you guys go find her and see if she’ll come here tomorrow evening. Bunny is busy with Easter and I am a bit too,” he added in an understatement. “Perhaps when only the Western Hemisphere is asleep and you guys have a bit less to do?”<br/><br/>Inexplicably the skylight opened slightly, allowing a cold blast of air and some snow into the chamber. North walked over to a pull rope to close it again, curious as to how that could have happened. The Guardians had no idea that Pitch had just departed after secretly spying on them. As the Guardians continued to debate the Boogieman raced away to find Jackie. It didn’t take too long.<br/><br/>“Jackie…” Pitch Black’s voice materialized out of the darkness of a frost-covered doorway. “They’re coming for you. The Guardians… they want to make you their little pet. Don’t listen to their lies,” he warned, “you deserve better than their company. Believe me, there are better things in store for you than to be their servant.”
