What: Seeing each other for the first time in Roswell Where: Outside the apartments When: Mid day Warnings: Not likely Status: Closed
Jack had been in Roswell for several months already. He'd pretty well aclimated to life in the modern city, with help from Sam and Claire and everyone else. Liz and Alex had gotten him more functional prosthetics, and he was doing well enough in school and working part time at Sander's Auto. He didn't really miss life in Oz, he certainly didn't care to go back because there wasn't much for him to go back to.
And now Tip was here, and Jack wasn't sure how he felt about it. He'd known Tip for as long as either of them could remember. But he'd known Tip as a boy. And when he turned out to be a girl, well. It was after that that things got messy. Jack ended up lying broken in the streets and Tip...well, he didn't know what happened to her.
Part of him didn't want to see her, and part of him longed to see her. She had been his best friend, the one person in all of Oz that he would have, and almost did, die for. But that seemed so long ago, and Jack was afraid of how Tip would react to him now that much of his body was made of spare parts. He was barely a man anymore, with his clockwork heart and three of his limbs were prosthetic. Tony was going to make him a better body, but that hadn't happened yet.
Jack drew in a breath when he saw her. "Tip?" She was beautiful. Jack wasn't even sure he had words for how beautiful she was.
