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.

"Oh," Shannon said quietly, settling herself against him and trying to relax in spite of her pain. Honestly, she didn't care what he was talking about because she was fairly certain she'd never understand it; it was just nice to hear his voice and to be talking about something that wasn't the earthquake they'd just survived - well, sort of; Jack hadn't, exactly... "Yeah, that sounds better than a really vague generalization," she agreed.

She felt Jack go stiff around her and that scared the hell out of her. If he really was that afraid of whatever the Daleks were, it was only a matter of time before they showed up in this fucking place to terrorize everyone; not just Jack and the Doctor. She burrowed more closely against him and went back to moving her fingers in his hair. "We've survived this long...if they really wanted to kill us, they'd have done it today. Maybe they won't come. Or maybe they'll just be for show. Or maybe..." her voice trailed off and she closed her eyes. "Maybe if they come, it's supposed to happen. Maybe everything here was supposed to happen."

"It's hard for you to see because I'm a pro by now," Shannon admitted quietly, feeling him rest his cheek against her head. "I've been hiding for so long, I'm not even sure where the real me ends and the mask begins."

She nodded slightly against him and opened her eyes again, looking up and thinking maybe she saw Gambit in the distance. "I've been keeping the strong one from being able to be strong," she said quietly, frowning as she forced herself to sit up a little. "You should go to Ianto," she added. "And tell him I'm thinking about him? Hoping he's okay?" she asked, eyebrows raised just slightly as she looked up at Jack.
