*His Best Friend*
Hello everyone! This is my first time writing fanfiction for this fandom since I've recently gotten back into it! I loved this show as a kid and Jack Spicer was always my favorite. This fic features my OC Reily who I hope you all will love. This fic also won't really follow canon storyline but I'll do my best to try and keep it as simple as possible and not change too much around. Hope you guys enjoy it!
Read and Review please!
Thank you!
I remember the room was all white and everything seemed quiet. I sat on a hospital bed and waited for the doctors to bring in my mother and tell me what to do from here on. My arm really hurt and I honestly just wanted to go home and take a nap. I was only seven when I broke my are for the first time, it was pretty scary for me then. I heard the door open and in an instant I was greeted with an excited tell of my name.
"Jack!" She ran into the room and around to the side of the bed I was sitting on. I smiled.
"Hey Reily, when did you get here?" She carefully gave me a hug and smiled right back at me.
"Your mom brought me over to see you! How's your arm? Doesn't hurt to much does it?"
"What, this thing? No way! I'm way tougher than that!" I lied. She didn't need to know how much it really hurt. If I told her how much it actually still hurt she'd get upset, I didn't like seeing her upset. My mom came in with one of the doctors and he finished explaining to her what to do with my cast and how to take care of me with it on. I had to wear it for four months. That was the last time I ever wanted to go to the hospital, and thankfully, it was.
I felt groggy as I woke up from my dream. I was actually surprised I drifted off like I did, normally Wuya would scream and yell until I woke up for some reason or another. I stretched out my sleep ridged limbs and yawned. I looked over at the clock on the wall and nearly flinched at how long my so called 'nap' had been. I know the last time I had looked at the clock it was only two in the afternoon, it was now close to ten o'clock at night. If Wuya had tried to wake me up I must've seemed like I was dead. Looks like I'll be spending the night awake again. I had no desired to go back to sleep now so it would be better to work than do nothing. I grabbed my wrench and one of my in-progress Jack-bots and started my work.
Honestly it was hard to focus after that dream, it was always hard to focus on work when I dream of Reily. Reily Blackwell was someone who I hadn't seen in a long time, maybe about two years at this point. She had moved away because her father had gotten a big promotion, and I had lost my best friend. I lost contact with her after she moved, never did know why. I tried to find her but there wasn't enough information and I got really busy building my Jack-bots, I guess I could chalk it up to me being lazy and then Wuya coming into my life. I wish I had more time, I know I could easily find her but between all the showdowns and the fact that I have to keep my Shen Gong Wu safe from those Xiaolin losers least I have to hear Wuya's ghostly wrath I literally had no time to my self anymore. To be honestly with myself, I really missed her. I wonder, if she had stayed maybe I wouldn't be evil. Maybe I would just be some genius teen kid building robots with his best friend in his parents basement. But I'm not that, I'm Jack Spicer, evil boy genius. I collect the Shen Gong Wu whenever Wuya detects them and I build my robots to fight the Xiaolin monks. I also look up to my evil idol, Chase Young, who has recently joined in the battle between Xiaolin and Haylin. Although, he doesn't seem to really notice me that often.
I guess I was so lost in thought and my work I never noticed that someone had come into my lab. I only noticed when I felt a hand on my shoulder, naturally I screamed and swung my wrench around, thinking it was some kind of attacker. They caught the wrench easily and only when my heart stopped pounding in my ears did I realize that the person who was behind my was the very man I had been speaking of before. Chase Young stood behind me with narrowed eyes and I gulped. I just tried to hit the Dragonlord of Darkness with a fucking wrench. This can't end well anymore.
"I'm going to ignore the fact you nearly just tried to hit me with a tool, Spicer, and I'll get right to my point. I require your assistance for a certain job." He let go of the wrench and I just started at him for as few seconds. Chase never needed my help, for anything. He was Chase fucking Young for fuck sake.
"Not that I'm not flattered you want my help but, why me? I'm sure there are plenty others that will do the job for you. Plus I'm also pretty sure you consider me a literal last resort." The smile that pulled at his lips unnerved me to the bone, Chase never smiled around me.
"I know you have a bit of a connection with the person I'd like you to speak to for me."
"Huh? You sure about that? In case you haven't noticed I don't really have friends. How could I have a connection with someone you know?" I was also surprised he was letting me ask all these questions, usually I can barely get one out in front of him.
"Oh I don't know her at all, but you know her quite well, and as much as I dislike you you are still needed on the Haylin side. If the Xiaolin monks get to this girl first you might be tempted to leave the Haylin." Okay, now he wasn't making any sense at all.
"Why would I leave the side of evil for some girl?"
"According to this Spicer, she is not merely some girl to you." He held out an old photo of me. How he got his hands on it I was afraid to ask, but it was the last picture I had ever taken with Reily before she had moved away. I felt my heart nearly stop and I gave Chase a dumbfounded look, that look quickly turned to anger.
"What the fuck are you playing at? Reily moved away two years ago and I'm pretty sure none of the monks even know her. How would they even talk to her when even I don't know where she is?" I was expecting to be told not to speak that way to Chase Young but the warning never came, he simply stayed smiling as I grabbed my picture out of his hand.
"Had you not heard? Your friend had moved back about a month ago, and it is also rumored that she holds an inactive Shen Gong Wu. I'm sure the monks have caught wind of that rumor by now and will be attempting to recruit her to their side any time now." My eyes must've bugged out of my head because Chase looked even more amused than before. I grabbed my jacket and strapped on my heli-pack, ready to bolt out of my lab.
"Where is she? You wouldn't be here if you didn't know."
"I've studied her routine for the past few days, at this point in the day she should be taking a walk at the park. I would hurry though, the monks will try to get to her as fast as possible." I just barely heard the last part as I practically flew out my front door. Reily was back, she came back and I was stupid enough to be the last one to find out! She was back. My best friend is back home! I don't think I've ever been this happy since she left.
