WHO: Jack Harkness, Shannon Rutherford, Ianto Jones (OTA anyone else at the cage!)
WHAT: Jack has people to guard. And he takes this very, very seriously.
WHERE: Carnival
WHEN: 11:11am; Day Twenty-Seven.
RATING: J for Jack. And most likely a fair amount of violence.
STATUS: Incomplete; no real posting order

Later Jack would realise this feeling was akin to when the Time Agency had control over him but for now, he was doing what he was told to do. He didn't awake in the morning, simply stared up at the ceiling of the museum -- then it started. That need to be elsewhere. Jack rolled out of bed, unaware that it was already empty and began to walk towards the Carnival, snarling at anyone that attempted to impede his path. Arriving at the carnival, Jack knew what his directive was as soon as he got there.

There, ahead of him, was the cage -- already with people in it. One seemed familiar to him -- beyond the simple recognition of faces. Jones, Tonks, Gaunt and a fourth he didn't know. Whatever. They were where they should be and no one was going to get him to move from his place.

No one was going to get them out of the cage until they had served their purpose. Jack didn't know what that purpose was, only that he was to keep those four in the cage.

Which was exactly what he was going to do.

There was that smile -- he had understood. There didn't need to be any further discussion between them -- Ianto knew and that was all that mattered. Jack knew he would have a lot of atoning to do for his sins of this day -- but at least Ianto understood. Shannon, however, could be a very different matter.

Now that the control had been fractured, Jack could feel more of his old self entering into the equation. It didn't, however, mean that he could do anything to change the situation in the slightest. While he would have been more gentle with Shannon, Jack still growled, eyes narrowed and wanted nothing more than to throw her far away from the cage. Didn't matter if she was injured or not, just so long as she was away from the cage and everyone inside.

"Yes, we can just leave them in there," Jack replied. "They are in there and that is where they will stay. I've told you once to get the hell away from the cage. I asked nicely, from here on in, I won't be the nice Captain."

She hadn't touched it yet. Jack wasn't concerned with those in the cage, just so long as they didn't try to assist the woman in any way. Four in the cage, two guards... and Shannon. Jack liked those odds quite a bit.

"Listen to those in the cage, Shannon," Jack crooned, sliding up next to her. "They know it's pointless and they know they're in the cages for a damn good reason. If you know what's good for you, you'll get the fuck away from the cage before I physically remove you from the area."

Again, Jack's ears picked up the Welsh accent. "Drop the lock, Jones," Jack barked. "You might be in the cage, but I'm not opposed to punishing you for attempting to help, understand?" Jack could taste bile in the back of his throat, quickly swallowing it away. Jack turned, arms crossed in front of his chest and looked at each member of the cage in turn.

"Any of you attempt to help Shannon and you will not like to see the consequences. On that, I can assure you one hundred percent."

Tonks hadn't caught the smile shared between Ianto and Jack. She was too busy staring at Chris. For two worlds with different witchcraft, they had things definitely in common.

"One day, without cages an' crazy shit, I wanna talk with you." Motioned toward the wizard (well, other witch). Then she was turning her attention back fully to what was going on.

"Shannon, you know him well?" She came over to the other edge of the cage and slid her hand just outside the cage to point to Jack. "Talk to him. You an' Ianto." She heard that sometimes the Imperio could be worked around, depending on who cast the spell.

Merope hadn't really woken up yet, the heat that was rising made her wake up from sleep. She was sitting there with her hands tucked beneath her body as she continued to hear noises. When she finally woke up to the soft argument and swearing, her eyes widened.

She slipped off the bed and went to one of the bars on the cage, her hands gripped the bars and looked over towards Jack. Her eyes were fixated on him but she didn't bother to call out due to how intimidated she was at the moment.

"....Zex?" Merope hissed lowly, calling for her snake to see if he would come to her.
