Manny watched Jack sense the power as he looked up to him. He took the second to see the power flowing in those blue eyes. 

"Your name is Jack Frost.

And that was all he said. 

He winced as Jack felt the first feeling of being walked through. He needed to leave him. It was the only way things would play out as needed.

Introduction

Manny watched as Jack flew through Russia. It had been ten years since he had woke the boy up. He had thought that Seraphina would reach out to Jack, that she would send another Seasonal to meet him, but she hadn't. He had watched her ignore the fact the boy existed. 

"Seraphina. He needs someone." He watched her ignore him before she turned to glare up at him. 

"I only bring adults in, Manny. There's a reason for that. Aster and I had to grow up to fast because we had to step into power at 18. I never wanted to give anyone the Winter leader. It's to powerful, more powerful than me and you knew that. You knew that and still gave it to a boy. You still gave the Guardian magic to him too." 

Manny watched as her glare turned murderous, "That's to much power for one person." 

He looked away. He knew that it was to much. He knew it created a power level that matched his own. 

"But has the world ended? Has he created an ice age? He hasn't. You don't know how strong Jack had to be as he grew up and that strength is what made him into a Guardian. It's what made him strong enough to handle both even without his memories.

He watched her look down at her hands before turning to look out her window. He watched her breath in before nodding. 

"I'll send someone to see him." Manny watched her walk away as he turned to find Jack. He smiled softly at the boy playing with rabbits in the snow. There was still an innocence in him that was shocking to see despite the isolation that followed him. 

He watched as Jack jumped when a new power showed up near him. He tensed at the sight of Katie, the Spring leader. Katie was known for her strong attitude towards people she didn't like. She was known for harsh actions if she didn't like something. He watched them look at each other before Jack finally said the first words. 

"H-hey. I'm Jack. Jack Frost. Who are you?" Manny felt sad at his hesitant voice. He watched Katie take the boy in and his own fear came true as she curled up her nose at him. 

"Do you not have any other clothes?" He watched Jack flinch before the boy looked over her pretty dress. He looked down at himself to see his simple white shirt that was dirty from playing with foxes yesterday. He looked back up at the girl. 

Manny watched as Jack talked softly to Katie before the girl left him with mean comments about his outfit. That was it. He gripped the side of the mirrors as Jack stared at the spot she stood. He tensed when Jack looked up at him. 

"What did I do wrong?" He didn't answer but he knew Jack could feel him watching. He watched the boy bow his head in sadness before leaving the area.

The First Attack

Manny had been watching the Guardians have an emergency meeting about a nightmare surge when he heard the cries of Jack Frost. 

He rushed over to Jack's mirror as he saw the boy being chased by summer sprites. He clenched the sides of the image as he watched Jack try to fight back with his ice. He winced as the licks of fire were thrown at Jack to burn him. He watched at they knocked him out of the sky. He watched it all happen.
