complete, day three, jack harkness, the doctor

WHO:Jack Harkness and The Doctor
WHAT: DOOOOOOOOCTOOOOOOOOR!
WHEN: Day 3; Late Afternoon
WHERE: wandering near where the TARDIS landed
WARNINGS: None
STATUS: complete

The morning had been, in a word, interesting. Jack was finding he was more and more at home with each passing hour. Well, at least where people were concerned. The place they'd been abducted to was all together strange and foreign. But Jack was determined to make a go of it. Besides, wasn't as if he was leaving anytime soon. May as well make the best of the occasion.

Rounding a corner, Jack's brow furrowed, catching sight of something that definitely shouldn't have been there. Unless it was a trick of the light, Jack knew exactly what that blue box was.

Not a blue box. A police call box. Something that hadn't been there this morning (provided this was the street he'd walked down this morning). There was no way. No bloody way.

Picking up his pace, greatcoat whipping behind him as he ran, Jack made it to the TARDIS, about to fling himself onto it as he'd done the last time -- just in case it was about to depart and he could hitch a ride. All Jack managed to do was smack flush into it. Hissing in pain, Jack pounded on the door -- as if his running into it hadn't been enough of a 'knock'

"DOCTOR!" Jack didn't care how strange he must have looked, banging on the door of a Police Box. "DOCTOR!"

"Well, usually the saying is 'if you don't have your health'..." Jack chuckled, eyes sparkling with mirth. "However, I think that saying is quite lost on the both of us, wouldn't you agree?"

The Doctor was lucky he at least had the TARDIS. Jack wanted his Hub back in the worst way, even if he couldn't do anything with it, there was an inherent comfort in the place -- probably because he'd lived within its depths for so long. True, he had his 'space hopper' but it wasn't like that was functioning at one hundred percent. Jack's grin (if possible) managed to grow even wider. "Nope, haven't changed. Besides, when one reaches perfection, you don't mess with it. You also know you wouldn't have me any other way. Just as I wouldn't have you any other way."

Finding a spot to lean, Jack wrapped his arms around his chest and looked at the Doctor for a long moment, then shook his head. "No, no one else we know is here. Just the three of us. Like the good old days." Even if it had been a different regeneration when Jack travelled with the Doctor and Rose. Who was counting? "Not quite sure yet and that's what's annoying me the most. We were taken, dropped here, given spartan living quarters and these journals and expected to live as we normally would. Hell, there's not even a place to get a decent cup of coffee. I'm starting to feel the effects of withdrawl. But this is, apparently, where we're living from here on out." The smile completely faded from his face. "I promised my team I wouldn't leave them again. At least, not without warning." The look Jack gave the Doctor spoke volumes: if the man asked, Jack would go and help save the world time and time again. "And now... look what's happened."
