Chapter 3: Captain Jack Harkness

AN: Hello so this is Chapter 3. This chapter talks mostly about Jack and there is a lot of discussing what happened in both Bad Wolf/The Parting of Ways and Utopia and references made to those episodes. So if you haven't watched those episodes I suggest you do before reading this.

Jack was very close to both Rose and the Doctor and there is a lot Rose doesn't know that happened between the Doctor and Jack so this is him telling Rose all about it.

Disclaimer: Nope still don't own Doctor Who otherwise there would be a spin-off made of the Meta-Crisis Doctor and Rose.

I hope you like it and please Favourite, Follow and Review :)

Dedications: Hediru (Aw no problem and thank you. I don't know what it is but I did feel that we needed to see the Doctor show some emotion in this story. He spent two years without the woman he loved thinking there was no way he could get back to her. Trying but failing whenever he attempted to reach her. He has now lost his TARDIS, sonic screwdriver and everything that made him the Doctor. He is afraid that Rose won't want him as he isn't the 'real' Doctor and that's a lot for anyone to take in even for a Half Time Lord. And I'm glad I made you laugh there is a lot of Jack in this chapter so hopefully you will enjoy it :) ) and nerdybandgeek14 :D


Rose POV

After a while the Doctor speaks up again, "We talked about you, you know. After you…left."

"You and Jack?" I inquire

Truth be told I didn't know whether Jack was dead or alive after Satellite 5.

I assumed he was and after his regeneration I asked if we could go back but the Doctor quickly brushed off the subject so I didn't bring it up again.

The Doctor never brought it up so I didn't want to question him while we were both still adjusting to his regeneration and of course I didn't want to know what the answer was if it was what I most feared and was most likely.

"Yeah, I met him again when I was travelling with Martha. Landed in Cardiff to refuel on the rift. That's when I spotted him, running towards the TARDIS on the screen. I left immediately, didn't want to see him."

I frown in confusion.

"He..Jack he is immortal as you well know and a wrong fixed point in time created by Bad Wolf. He was wrong, his very existence since that day on Satellite 5. I'm a Time Lord, couldn't bare looking at something so wrong that was impossible to change. Jack called me prejudice for it and I suppose he wasn't wrong. There was of course the obvious fact of him reminding me too much of you" He admits and I smile slightly.

"But anyway, Jack refused to leave without me so he decided to jump onto the TARDIS just as she was dematerialising. The TARDIS tried to shake him off which sent us through the time vortex to the end of the universe"

"Sounds intense" I comment and he laughs

"It was, she didn't like that he is immortal now either apparently"

"So how did he become immortal then? You said something about Satellite 5 and Bad Wolf?"

What was he turned into a vampire or something?

Yeah probably not, things are all ways more complicated than that with the Doctor.

Is it weird that I missed that as well?

"Back on Satellite 5 when you were Bad Wolf you brought him back to life. But you, as Bad Wolf, couldn't control it and turned him immortal as well."

I grin against his chest and say playfully, "Well aren't I powerful?"

He laughs, "Extremely. So after he...came back to life he tried to find me in the 21st Century except his space hopper thing got it wrong, obviously so he actually ended up in 1869. He rebuilt Torchwood after Canary Wharf, convinced them I am not evil and all that"

His voice becomes softer, "He told me he watched you grow up. Never said hello of course, timelines and everything but he would watch you from time to time."

I smile, imagining my younger self playing in a playground or walking home from school as a man wearing a long World War II coat and a broad grin looked after me.

"He had read the list of the dead of Canary Wharf and saw your name on it. It was one of the first things he asked me about when I found him. He was ecstatic to hear you were alive. Not so happy about the parallel universe part I suppose. He can still hold a grudge though, gave me a right lecture for 'abandoning' him I explained to him later on what I just told you. That I wouldn't have been able to look at him and that the TARDIS would have shaken him off which I wouldn't have been able to fix after just regenerating.

"Well I can't blame him" I tell him "I would be pretty pissed off if you abandoned me on a spaceship in the middle of the galaxy with no way home"

"Ah but I would never do that to you" The Doctor assures me

"Oh yeah why not?" I ask grinning and he grins, kisses the top of my head before answering

"Because you're blonde"


AN: I had to add in the because you're blonde reference in there (Utopia episode reference in case you forgot!)

I hope you liked this chapter
