Same day a few hours later
Carly is in the bathroom doing her hair and putting on make-up, while Jason is in the living room on the phone with Francis.
J: Francis I want you to get the architect that does work for us and get him down here by tomorrow.
F: Okay for what?
J: It's a surprise for Carly, so I want you to show him around the club and Carly's apartment after we have left for PC. I want him to draw up plans to identically match both sites. I mean match to a tee. Once you're done with him I want you both to fly back to PC to meet us.
F: Boss, what have you got planned?
J: I have to talk with Lucky first but I will fill you in later. So get on the phone and meet me at the club later on tonight. Make sure the architect knows that money is no object and this is to be his top priority.
F: Sure thing boss, I will see you later tonight then.
Jase hangs up and goes to find Carly. He spots her in the bathroom getting ready. She is wearing shiny black leather low-rise pants with a white sleeveless stretch shirt, with only the middle two buttons buttoned so that her stomach is exposed. Jason looks on at her in admiration, she took his breath away with her beauty. He loved when she wore her hair all curly and wild. He walks up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist.
J: You might as well stop.
C: What?
J: Carly, your gorgeous. You can't improve on perfection.
C: Such the sweet talker Morgan.
J: He nuzzles her neck inhaling her scent. "You smell great too."
C: Thanks baby. What do you have planned, you meeting with Francis?
J: Yeah, then Ill meet you at the club. Do me a favor tonight?
C: What's that?
J: Take it easy tonight.
C: Don't worry, I am gonna work the bar tonight, strictly pouring drinks and dancing I promise.
J: Good.
Carly turns around in his arms and wraps her arms around his neck and gives him a teasing kiss.
C: Okay, gotta go. I will see you later handsome.
J: BE CAREFUL!!
Carly calls teasingly out to him over her shoulder as walking out the door.
C: Love you honey!!
Jason heads downstairs to see Lucky. He knocks on the door. Lucky opens it.
L: Well I see you are still in one piece, I take it Carly didn't kick your ass. Come on in man.
J: Yeah, what was that all about earlier anyways? She gets into these trance like states and is just wild.
L: Jason as you know Carly has changed. She had to. When she thought you had dumped her and cheated on her, she hated the way she felt, like a victim. She had no control over the situation, she felt helpless. The old Carly, what would she have done before?
J: Run to me or come up with a crazy plan, which would have made things a hell of a lot worse.
L: Exactly. Now she knows how to fight and is strong. She has control, and she likes that. No one likes to feel helpless and like a victim, take it from me; it is one of the worst feelings in the world. So we train and we take care of ourselves.
J: So when Nick grabbed her he took away her control?
L: You got it. That pissed her off, so rather than coming up with a crazy plan - she vented. She took her anger and feelings of not being in control and turned it around so that she is in control. She has a lot of walls built up Jason. But seeing you standing here without a scratch, means you are starting to break some of those walls down. Just give her space and love her, which is what she needs most right now. Don't ever threaten her independence though cause you could end up loosing her.
J: Thanks Lucky, I don't want her to loose her independence. I just want her in my life and I want to make her happy.
L: So is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
J: No there is something else. I need you to hear me out first before you say anything. If I could guarantee that you would never have to deal with Helena Cassadine again, and if I could literally build a club and apartments just like the ones here would you come back to Port Charles.
L: Interesting question. There are a lot of what ifs their Jason.
J: But what if?
L: What does Carly think of all this?
J: I want to surprise her. Here is my plan. I'm having my architect come here and scope out your club and apartments. Then I want him to build the exact likeness back home in Port Charles. She knows that once I take over Sonny's territory I will need to be stationed in Port Charles, but she also loves the club and her home here. I want to bring that to Port Charles for her.
L: How would this work exactly? Right now our club is just that OUR CLUB. We run things they way we want. And we make money the way we want.
J: Nothing has to change; I merely want to pay for the construction of the places. After that it is hands off for me. You guys run everything.
L: Interesting plan. If I knew that Helena was not a factor, I would consider moving back if it is what Gia and Carly want to do.
J: Let me handle Helena. So will you meet with the architect tomorrow with Francis and fill him in on what you want.
L: Yeah okay man. You just have to convince Carly.
J: Thanks man.
L: Well I best get over to the club I need to talk with Carly.
J: She mentioned that earlier, she is concerned. Is everything okay?
L: Oh, just Helena checking in on us. I talked to my dad and if feels she is going to make a run at us soon.
J: Don't worry about Helena man, I told you I was going to handle that Cassadine.
L: Okay just know that she is unlike anyone you have ever faced before Jase. She will be anticipating any move you make. Especially if she knows you and Carly are back together, which I am sure she does. Just be careful when dealing with her.
J: Thanks; I have the best watching my back.
Lucky laughs, "Yes you do, my cousin is the best, but hell she is a SPENCER".
Jason heads back up to Carly's, while Lucky heads to the club. Jason calls Francis and tells him to meet him over at Carly's apartment.
Fire & Ice Club:
G: Well you look well rested and happy.
C: Girl you have no idea. After that whole episode with Nick, Jason helped me deal. He is wonderful.
G: So you didn't kick his ass?
C: No! He gave me my space and I just kicked the weight bags ass instead. I am going back to PC with him for a few days to settle a few scores.
Lucky walks in hearing this.
L: In other words you're going to go see Sonny and Elizabeth.
C: Yes I am! Those two have some things to be accountable for and I for one want retribution.
L: Hey, hey, calm down. I understand how you feel. You go for it. Those two deserve to pay. I am just worried about you. Gia and I wont be there to watch your back.
C: Jase will be with me.
L: I know Carly but Jason doesn't know your fighting style, he hasn't trained with you or know our signals, JUST BE CAREFUL!
C: I will cous. Thanks for worrying about me. Now what family stuff did you want to talk about?
L: I talked to my dad and Helena is up to something. He thinks she might be heading our way soon. So I think we all need to be on alert. We make sure we don't go out alone, have the security systems up and on at all times. You know the drill.
C: Yes I do. Did you let Riley know we were on alert?
L: Not yet, Gia and I have a training session with him tomorrow, we will fill him in then. As for tonight we are going to limit admission, the tower will be locked down and I will be out on the floor tonight. I think you girls have seen enough action these last few days. Why don't you guys work the bar tonight.
Carly and Gia: Sounds good!
L: Well that's a first. I don't have to twist any arms. Not bad. I am going to go fill Robert in on how things are gonna work tonight. Are we stocked up here?
G: We will fill in what we need don't worry.
The girls start preparing for the night. Stocking the bar and getting the music selections set up.
C: How is he really?
G: I think he is a bit rattled. Helena has been quiet ya know for a while now. That psycho did quite a number on him as you know and if he has to face her again, I'm not sure what he would do.
C: Between you and me. The bitch is going down. If I get an open opportunity I will kill her. I don't want Lucky to ever have to deal with her again.
G: Are you serious?
C: You bet I am. I am sick of living in fear of that woman.
G: Well if you need help call me and I will be on the first plane to PC. You and I love Lucky like no one else, were family and we take care of our own.
C: Yes we do. Let me see how things go this time around, if we need to you and I will make another trip to PC and take care of things together.
G: Sounds good chica.
C: Hey I need to go make a call to good old uncle Luke. I want to tell him to expect me tomorrow and to get the heads up on what Miss Lizzie is up to these days. I will be back in a few.
G: Take your time. I can handle things out here.
Carly goes back to her office and dials Luke.
L: Luke's- home of the best Blues in Town.
C: The best huh?
L: This wouldn't be my sweet niece Caroline would it?
C: The one and only. How are you Uncle Luke?
L: I'm good darlin. Hey is everything okay with you guys?
C: Yes we are all fine. Actually I am really great!
L: That wouldn't happen to have anything to do with a certain blonde hair blue eyed mobster would it?
C: YES! Jase and I are back together.
L: Yeah Lucky filled me in on the whole situation. Corinthos and Webber really screwed you two over pretty good. You being a SPENCER I hope that you have something fitting planned?
C: Well I could definitely use my Uncles expertise. How bout you fill me in on what little miss Lizzie is doing these days, aside from trying to throw herself at my man.
L: Well it seems she has landed herself as the new FACE of DECEPTION. Laura bought Deception and is re-launching a new campaign with Liz as the signature face.
C: Interesting. Although I cant believe Laura would want to use that pixie as her model. So this modeling gig is important to Lizzie?
L: Seems to be.
C: Well then I have my angle. Luke can you do me a favor.
L: Only if I get to watch any fireworks.
C: Oh you can have a ringside seat. How about you throw Jason a little glad you are back party at your place. I will have Jason invite Sonny and Lizzie. She will of course think she is his date, and then I will show up and have a little fun.
L: I think I can handle that.
C: Thanks Uncle. I will see you tomorrow. I will come right over to the club, and let Jason take care of his business.
L: Ill be looking for you darlin. Hey give my boy a hug from his old man will you.
C: Will do Uncle Luke, Thanks again.
Carly hangs up, and ideas start spinning in her head.
C: So Lizzie is a model now. God how can anyone stand her is beyond me. Well now Lizzie has something to loose. She took Jason away, now I am going to take away what she loves.
Carly walks back out into the club and over to Gia.
G: How is Luke?
C: He is Luke! Actually he sounded good.
G: Well are we ready to open?
C: LUCKY!!! Are we open?
Lucky laughs at Carly's yelling. L: Yeah hit the music girls.
Across the street at Carly's apartment:
Jason opens the door for Francis letting him into Carly's apartment.
F: WOW!
J: Amazing place huh?
F: Ill say. Carly really has it all going on doesn't she?
J: She sure does. So were you able to get in touch with the architect?
F: He's on his way as we speak.
J: Good I spoke with Lucky, so he will show you guys around tomorrow after Carly and I have left.
F: So what is this for?
J: I want the apartments and club duplicated, so we can build them in Port Charles. You know we will have move back there to resume control of the territory. I can't run it from here; I need to be there. This I hope will make Carly feel better about moving back with me.
F: Wow, that is quite the plan. I hope it works.
J: Me too, man. Now listen I talked with Benny, things are going to go down in the next few days. So as soon as you finish up here I want you back in PC. Contact Johnny; let him know he is to be on alert and to meet me at the airport tomorrow. Have the clean up team prepped and ready to go. This has to be a clean job, no mistakes.
F: I understand Jason. We will all be prepared.
J: Good, now lets go over these papers, I need to catch up on our shipments, Benny had them delivered today. The sooner we get done then the sooner we can go over to the club.
Fire & Ice Club:
Things are running smoothly. Lucky and the men are working the floor, while Gia and Carly are busy working the bar. They are having fun dancing and pouring drinks. Hours pass and it is nearing the end of the night. Jason and Francis have finished up their paperwork and are entering the club.
J: Things look pretty tame here tonight.
F: Good thing cause I don't know how they all do it night after night. I am still exhausted from last night.
J: I hear ya man. Carly said she and Gia would be at the bar tonight let's head over there.
Jason spots his women behind the bar busy pouring drinks. Carly looks up and sees him approaching she motions to two seats that were open for them.
Carly comes right over to them. Jumping up on the bar, leaning over to give Jason a welcome kiss. C: Hey darlin.
J: Things look quiet tonight.
C: Much, better than last night at least. Hey Francis, how you feeling tonight.
F: I'm still tired actually, how do you guys do it every night?
C: Lots of practice Francis. She giggles and gets them two beers.
G: Carly, come on were dancing this one.
Carly turns to Jase and leans over giving him another kiss. C: Duty calls.
They turn up the music and Gia, Carly and 3 other girls jump up onto the bar and start dancing.
Carly makes her way over to Jason so she is dancing right in front of him.
A couple other guys sitting next to Jason and Francis seem to have taken a liking to Carly and are hooting and hollering at her. Carly ignores them concentrating on Jason. She can see the comments and cat calls are bothering Jason. His jaw is clenched and he looks like he is gonna start something. Carly sinks down to her knees and moves inches in front Jase's face. She caresses his face and locks eyes with him. She moves in and whispers to him "Calm down baby. They are harmless."
He smiles and relaxes a bit, enjoying her attention. One of the other guys calls out.
Guy: That's it baby, on your knees, just the way I like my women. The man and his buddy start laughing. Jason stiffens up again.
Carly stands back up and continues dancing. She makes her way over to Gia and the girls put on a little show, dancing together.
As the song winds down Carly makes her way back over to Jason, showering him with attention. The two guys haven't given up with the catcalls and are getting worse.
Guy: Baby come over here and let me show you what a real man can do for you.
As the song ends Carly jumps down off the bar and goes over to the two men. Jason and Francis get up and follow, standing directly behind the men.
C: So gentlemen, I understand you want to show me what a real man can do for me?
One of the guys reaches out and begins to stroke Carly's arm.
Guy: Why don't you come home with me baby and Ill give you the ride of your life.
Jason grabs the guys free arm, bending it behind his back and with his forearm presses the mans neck and face down into the bar, while Francis grabs the other guy pinning his arms behind his back. Robert and Bobby from security come and along and take over for Francis escorting the one man out of the club.
Carly leans down to the guy Jason has pinned down.
C: I really think my boyfriend here wouldn't like that. Jase, why don't you take this guy outside and show what a REAL MAN can do.
Jason smiles at her and he and Francis take the man outside. Francis holds the guy, while Jason works him over good.
J: I suggest you never look at or talk to MY WOMEN again. He gives him one more punch to the stomach and tells Francis to release him letting the man fall to the ground.
The two enter back into the club and back over to Carly. Carly motions for Jason to come behind the bar. She launches herself into his arms.
C: My hero! Thanks darlin for handling that for me. I could get use to this ya know.
J: Whatever you want baby.
Lucky approaches the two laughing.
L: Hey you two get a room. What do you say we close up for the night?
C: Gia what do you think? Think you would mind going home early with my gorgeous cousin here?
G: Oh I think I can handle that.
L: Good, Robert and I will start moving people out of here. Hey Jason why don't you come and give me a hand.
J: Sure.
The two guys walk away from the bar area. Lucky turns to Jason.
L: Take care of her Jason. Don't let anything happen to her while your gone. We haven't been apart even a day, and I am worried Helena is gonna make a move on her.
J: I promise you with my life Lucky, I wont let anything happen to Carly. Helena won't come near her.
L: Okay man. Make sure you guys call me to let me know how things are going.
J: You think I could stop Carly?
They both laugh. L: Definitely not.
The group closes up the bar. Francis heads back to the airport to pick up the architect and fill him in on his assignment. The other two couples head home and call it a night.
Carly and Jason's Apartment:
Carly and Jason enter the apartment. Carly goes over to her fish tank and feed her fish.
Jason comes up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist.
C: They're beautiful aren't they? I love watching them.
J: Yeah they are cool. Thank you for letting me handle that guy tonight. I know you could have taken both those guys on yourself.
C: Your right I could have, but I like having my boyfriend do it for me. Plus I saw that their comments were upsetting you more than me, so I figured I would let you handle them, and get rid of some of your anger.
J: Were great together.
C: We sure are. Hey I want to talk about tomorrow.
She grabs his hand and they sit down on the couch. Carly sits Indian style facing him.
C: What time are we leaving?
J: We can leave whenever we get up and around. The jet is at our disposal.
C: I have been thinking. I want to surprise Sonny and Lizzie, you know have a little fun first before we get down to business. I talked to Uncle Luke today, told him we were coming. How about you invite Sonny and Lizzie to have dinner with you, at Luke's. You know kinda like a glad to be back dinner.
J: Why would I want to have dinner with them?
C: So we can have a little fun. You go with them and of course little Lizzie will be thrilled thinking she is your date. Then I come over and surprise them. Hey maybe we could dance, give them a little show.
J: Your good you know that.
C: Why thank you Mr. Morgan.
He reaches for her pulling her to him and onto his lap.
J: And of course you will be dressed to kill no doubt.
C: Literally actually.
Jason sees her turn serious.
J: Out with it.
C: Helena I want her dead on this visit to PC. I am going to take her out.
J: I am prepared to handle Helena myself Carly.
C: NO! I owe her Jason. What she did to Lucky. What she took away from him and my family. I want to do this myself.
J: I understand you do but how about this. We talk to Luke first. He is the expert on this wacco woman. Lets go about this the right way. We plan it first all together. We can't be sloppy Carly.
C: Okay, but I get the honors.
J: Understood. Now I have had enough talk about the people I hate the most. I just want to take you to bed.
C: Oh really?
Jason takes her arms and pins them behind her back being careful not to hurt her. He starts nibbling on her bottom lip, then deepens the kiss slipping his tongue into her mouth, wanting to claim her again and again as his own. He pulls away leaving Carly seeing stars. He releases her arms and stands up with her, carrying her into their bedroom. He gently sets her down in front of the bed.
C: You sure know how to take a girls breath away.
J: I love you Carly.
C: Come on lets get naked and get in bed. I am so exhausted and I just want to feel your arms around me.
The two get undressed and into bed. Both tired from the long day and both knowing that they had a couple of long days ahead of them, which would be both enjoyable and stressful. Jason quickly envelops Carly in his arms. She gladly snuggles into his chest.
J: It will all be over in a few days baby.
C: I hope so Jason, I hope so, cause I can't loose you again.
J: Neither one of us are going to loose each other ever again. We have fought to hard to make it back to each other. Baby, let it go and have sweet dreams.
C: Love you Jase.
J: Love you Carly.
