WHO: Jack Harkness, Shannon Rutherford
WHAT: Jack takes over Shannon!watch
WHEN: 17:00
WHERE: The Museum
RATING: G! seeing who's paying attention
STATUS: Active

There was one person he still hadn't seen following the earthquake. Well, two counting the Doctor but Jack was certain the man was going to be fine. The two of them had seen far worse scrapes over the years and an earthquake seemed inconsequential compared to an army of Daleks. Then again, there they had known what they'd be up against. Vas Captio was a veritable unknown.

Getting Ianto to safety had been Jack's primary concern, though his conversations with the Insider through the journals wasn't helping to ease his mind. Still, Jack knew where his place was and, as much as he wanted to stay and keep Ianto safe, he couldn't. He was the hero and he would do the work of heroes: getting everyone else out safe and then figuring out what to do from there. Having not seen Shannon thus far, Jack worried that she was still trapped under god knew how much more debris.

Moving at a full-out run, Jack moved quickly through the rubble, vaulting over piles of stone, not slowing until he approached the remains of the muesum. God, they'd have to find something by way of shelter now -- the museum wasn't habitable. Squinting, Jack could see two figures near the crumbling foundation and he picked up his pace once more, relief coursing through his veins as he caught sight of her.

Thank god.

Chuckling, Jack gave Shannon a rather impish smile. "Well, would depend on how they were altered I suppose," Jack said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Smaller would be a bad thing, but larger... that could be quite the advantage, wouldn't it?" It had been quite the enjoyable morning for Jack -- it'd been a long time since he'd played like this but he had thrown himself into it and came out sated and content. He hoped that Shannon and Ianto had enjoyed their play as much as he had.

"I beg to differ," Jack muttered, frowning as he began to pull off the fabric. He hadn't meant to hurt her, but he needed to see what the extent of her injuries were. Friendship was one thing, but when his friends were hurt, Jack tended to throw the bedside manner out the window and launched into Captain!mode. "I'm sorry," Jack said, glancing up at her and seeing the tears. "But I need to see. It won't hurt much longer." He frowned, seeing complete extent of her injuries and, pursing his lips, retied the shirt over the wound. "I'll go back in and see if there's some clean cloths. I don't know how quickly you'll bleed through."

Jack, however, didn't move. Gently, he brushed his knuckles against her cheek, wiping away the tears that lurked there. "You need to see a Doctor," Jack said softly. So that was Sam. Jack turned to look in the direction he had departed and shook his head. He shouldn't have let Shannon talk her out of it. "God only knows how much blood you've lost." He looked back at Shannon, fixing her with a level stare. "Well, if he was just here why didn't he take you?"
