	[Kitty manages to pass by during one of the devastating bits. The flickering light catches her attention and she phases through the door when she notices Jack inside. Her eyes move to the man and not the memories.] Hey. [Gently.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He's right at the end of the vid, watching himself face down the Daleks, terrified but determined, about to die his first ever death. And then watching himself wake up with a gasp, the brief moment of bewildered elation before he heard the sound of the TARDIS dematerialising. It's almost a century and a half ago for him, but he doesn't think he'll ever forget the way his heart pounded in his ears as he raced back to the Doctor, only to see the TARDIS fade away before his eyes. And watching this has only brought it back even more clearly.

The sound of Kitty's voice makes him jump. He hadn't heard the door open (of course). He swallows, and turns his head, blinking away tears.] Hey.

[The video reaches the end and starts playing again from the beginning, his first sight of Rose, hanging in mid air from a barrage balloon in the middle of the London Blitz.]

((OOC: The first few seconds of this are the best I could find of this!))

	[Her heart jumps a little seeing him crying and she makes up for that hug in Tyki's body pretty quickly by squeezing herself onto his chair, half on his lap and giving him a hug. She could see the bots shooting him. She's not sure what it was about that death that brought this on, but she doesn't ask questions yet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He's not quite expecting the lapful of Kitty and it makes him laugh a little in surprise. But after a moment he's hugging her back - not fiercely, not that tight, because this is after all an old pain, but definitely appreciating the contact, and the fact that this time she doesn't look and feel and smell like Tyki.

He dips his head against her shoulder and for once doesn't say anything, just sits quietly, listening to his first meeting with Rose, with an ache of longing for the people they were then, with so much more to come.]

	[Okay, maybe it was overkill. But the tears caught her off guard and got her all protective of his heart. Shut up. She watches some of his life up on the screen as she holds him. She remembers Rose.] You still have that beam of light thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A little bit of overkill can be good sometimes. It's nice to be reminded how much people care about him, especially when he's a little vulnerable, like now. He doesn't move, keeping his forehead resting against her shoulder, just listening.

And chuckling lightly at her question.] Unfortunately no. That was a function of the Chula ship I'd stolen. It got blown up a day or two later. I thought I was going to go along with it, but the Doctor pulled me out just in the nick of time." He does move, then, to glance up at the screen. "That's him there. Big ears, with the leather jacket."

	He was here for a little bit. I mean there was also "The Doctor" here and he looked different. I don't really understand it. [She plays with his hair a little. Silly dangerous pheremones.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I didn't know that. [He makes a soft, contented sound at the fingers in his hair (he likes fingers in his hair, and leans his head sideways against her shoulder instead so he can watch the screen and still have the contact. He's more or less forgotten about the pheromones, for the moment.]

He regenerates. Literally changes every cell in his body and becomes a completely new man. The other version who was here - tall, skinny, floppy hair, brown suit and converses - that was the next regeneration after this one. But this was my Doctor. The one who saved me, taught me to do good.

[It's relaxing to do it too. And it's certainly more about comfort than anything else. It's just hard sometimes to not be a little affected.]

It was really brief. One of the joys of being here since almost opening day is that I get to have at least some passing familiarity with most everyone who has come through.

So, he's still him with a whole new body? And new fashion sense? [She should probably be focusing more on the emotions Jack is having, but it really is interesting.]

	[Softly] It also means you're aware of everyone who's gone, too. [Losing people. Isn't that what they bonded over the other day, too?] Yeah, very different fashion sense. It's weird, I saw him the other day too. At least, turns out I guess it wasn't actually him, but I thought it was at the time. It's like bits of my past keep on popping back.

	[She meets his eyes. He's not wrong about that first part. So many loses and some of them were pretty significant to her.] I have some experience with the people you think are yours, but aren't really too. Basically anyone I've ever recognized. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-02 09:04 am UTC (link)
	[He gives her a tiny, rueful smile at that look. Even he's lost quite a few people here. Not enough to compete with those he'd lost before, but enough.] Lots of faces you recognise, but not actually the people you think they are? There hasn't actually been anyone you knew before, here?

Mm, like Logan. I don't know if you've met him, but in my world he was the guy who trained me. [Kind of a replacement father figure really. Important to her.] Here he's still Logan. Still an X-Men. Same powers. He barely recognizes me. Totally different world. [Maybe not as totally different as Reid's world or Jack's but still nothing like hers.

She shakes her head.] Never anyone from my world.

	I met his body the other day, but it was being inhabited by someone else - a Peter someone - he said he knew you? He's quite a hunk, isn't he? I'll have to look him up sometime! And ouch. That's like meeting someone before they've met you. Always hard. [He's a time-traveller. It's happened to him.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-04 05:59 am UTC (link)
	Peter Parker. He's a friend. And you should be careful looking Logan up. But if you're not, please record your final moments for me. [He just get a nod about it being hard. He's not wrong.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-07 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	[That gets her amused little look.] Why do I need to be careful around Logan? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-08 12:57 am UTC (link)
	Because he's tiny but powerful and sometimes his sense of humor gets broken. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, thanks for the warning, then! [With a faint grin, before the sound of Daleks yelling "Exterminate" up on the screen makes him glance round, even though he doesn't need to watch to know precisely what's going to happen. He nods towards the screen, as the Jack there spreads his hands and lifts his chin, with a defiant, "I kinda figured that."]

My first death. Kinda weird seeing it from the outside.

	[Watching it sadly.] Yeah, I guess it would be. [She's glad that's not what her disc showed. It was enough to know what Piotr did. She didn't need to see it too.] I guess for you it's the first one that counts the most? [And probably the last but she hopes that isn't anytime soon.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-14 01:01 pm UTC (link)
	It certainly had the most impact. I didn't know I was immortal, then, but I knew I'd been given a second chance. Well, a third chance, I guess, after the Doctor saved me the first time. He may have been gone, but I knew I had to make the most of what I'd got. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-16 03:05 am UTC (link)
	No regrets then? [Giving him a gentle sort of look.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-20 11:39 am UTC (link)
	[He catches the look and it makes him drop his gaze for a moment, suddenly unable to lie or deflect as he might often do.] Some regrets, yeah. Regrets that it ended so soon, the most perfect time of my life. This-- [the video] --brings it home even more, what I lost. Even if I know I wouldn't be who I am today if it hadn't happened. It's complicated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-20 03:11 pm UTC (link)
	I get complicated. [She gently runs her fingers through his hair, just trying to be soothing.] Loss is hard and the longer you're around the more you get. [Though she's managed to pack a lot into a short amount of time.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-02-21 11:34 am UTC (link)
	[He butts his head into her hand like a cat, and then lays his head on her shoulder again with a soft sigh. It's seductively easy, being close and intimate with Kitty like this. There's no-one else in the dome except Ianto that he feels he can relax with like this.] Too damn right. Sometimes it's hard not to let yourself focus on that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	kitty_has_claws 2016-02-21 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	[There, there, kitty. She reaches up to pet him. Gentle fingers in his hair.] Do you have tips for not focusing. I could use tips. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
