"Well then, if you agree...By the way, you could also call any of your loved ones in case you are worried about their well being. That would include your wife as well, Allen!"
Jack stopped a couple of taxis and hopped on one, with the others equally seperating in each of them. The cabbies headed to the outskirts of a city, where an enormous mansion was located and stopped outside.
"Here we are...Make yourselves at home!" he said.
Jack was lucky to find his keys along with his Jack of Spades card, so it saved him the trouble of calling a locksmith. He headed inside and then backout to pay the taxi drivers, with a generous tip.
"Make yourselves comfortable. You can have anything to eat, as long as it hasn't expired, have a bath and explore the house. There are several bedrooms on the upper floors, so pick any of them. Have a nice stay!"

Jack laughed at Allen's last remark.
"Compared to women, talking to a bunch of guys in suits is a walk in the park!" he joked back.
Waiting a bit for the outsiders to move away, Jack gathered the group and introduced the idea he had before.
"Here is what I want to talk to you about. To be frank, I am quite comfortable with money, because I invested on some stocks with my gambling money. Simply speaking, I am a kind of a billionaire. So here is the deal. I think that we can go back to my house for the time being, it's comfortable enough for all of us. Then, with Allen's help and with some expenses, we can slowly build a base of operations inside the house. How does this sound?"

Jack was a witness to the whole upset. Actually, he was not fond of the "quarantine" proposition either, no matter how good this guy Carter made it to be. However, the situation at hand was a bit escalated, with Allen being a little too aggresive towards a pretty violent Sky...or Jade, he wasn't sure what was with the name change either. He tried processing some ideas and come up with a good enough solution to ease the situation. Then he said:
"Mister Carter, I am Jack Spades. I am also a victim of Vitus' experiments and, with all due respect, the word "quarantine" doesn't go well with my current vocabulary. Although I can see the nescessity of us being examined, I would like to make a counter offer. Considering we spent most of our time in the ship together, it is safe to assume that if one of us had something infectious, then all of us would. So, I believe that we should be a little more mautre and rational and think that despite being superpowered escapees from an alien spaceship, we are still human and as you can see, there are people among us that are too young to experience lab testing. So, instead of possibly scarring Sky's-or Jade's-I quite missed that part, Al's and Rowan's mind with the image of more lab testing, how about you take me and Allen, or Dr. Willows if you prefer, to see whatever you want to see and let them go home? Of course, you will provide the children with a cellphone or another communication device, so if something happens, I can get to them immediately. Is that good enough?"
He also turned to Sky/Jade for a brief moment, adding with a warm smile:
"Is that ok for you, mademoiselle?"

Jack stood in front of the others, while also not trying to draw attention to himself while Allen was talking. He didn't want to risk the lives of the youngsters and also didn't want to get in the way of Allen, while he was speaking with the man with the black suit. From their short conversation, he figured that they would not be hostile enough to shoot them down and that relaxed him a bit. He also considered that him being there would also ease them, considering his status.
"Well, I am not a respected scientist, but being a billionaire gambler-celebrity will give us some more air to breathe, I assume..." he thought.
Then it occured to him. He was a billionaire. Allen was a scientist. A crazy idea crossed his mind, but he would have to tell Allen and the others later, away from people. He changed his thought pattern when he turned to check the others and finally noticing some kind of beast on the boat. With the lack of knowledge on what happened during he was out, Jack thought that it was another human with some kind of transformation powers, so he didn't panic. He decided to just turn to the people before him and wait for Allen to finish the introductory part of the conversation.

Maybe we should message the others and see if anyone still wants to rp?
Don't forget that ol' Jack is here, alive and kicking!
"Flush Royal...It's my win!" was the only thing that Jack remembered saying, before opening his eyes. The sudden sunlight disturbed his vision, but soon he realized he was lying in a small pool of his own blood, with the other survivors. Among them he recognised Al, Sky and Allen. He was in quite a pain, but nonetheless stood up. His had a huge burn and he realized that Al burned the wound he had.
"Hey there...Seems like we survived, didn't we?" he said joyfully.
Then he watched as they were approaching a coast, something that touched him, considering all they have been through. He messed with Sky's hair, while also saying to Al, while pointing his burn:
"I owe you one, Al! And I never forget to repay my debts!"
Then he waited to land with everyone else.
"Hey Allen, if you need the support of an international celebrity, I can follow up. I am quite famous myself, so I can handle conversations quite well!"

The game between Jack and the shadowy figure was still on and there was no sign of any side giving up. The match was even between the two sides, but Blaze had to rely on his sleight of hand to win most of the rounds, since the opponent he had was not a normal one and, surely, not one who played fair. At some point Jack grew tired of playing without anything changing.
"I decided...all in!!" he said in a confident manner.
The man in black stared at him with an evil smile on his face.
"This time, you will not be so lucky, brat! You have cheated me once...You can't always be lucky!" the man responded in a cold, emotionless tone.
