He was told to take a few days off after the Incident with the 456, take some time and process things before he jumped right back in to being their poster boy and go-to guy. Well, at least his bosses at Torchwood didn’t think he was completely heartless.
Or maybe they did, and they didn’t want to have him around for a few days.
At any rate, he was taking the few days and spending it in a bar, staring at a half-full glass of bourbon.
It Had been a month since The Doctor had regenerated and Rose was not happy. She had FINALLY found out what really happened to captain Jack, around a week after getting use to the new face – the snogging that happened after New Earth had helped a great deal – and Rose had DEMANDED that they go and find him.
And The Doctor, being terrified of angry Tylers – Rose had threatened to show him just how hard a younger Tyler could slap – Quickly complied and they returned to satellite 5 after the tardis had left… or at least an hour after.
But Jack was not there… And that Puzzled the Doctor, never mind Rose. They even did a full scan of the place, but they came up with no one.
So they moved on, trying to find out where jack could have disappears too. They moved to the earth, just incase someone had come and rescued jack from the satellite and they had not arrived at the right time, then to the 21st century… then the Tardis took them on more adventures…Â
Queen Victoria and the werewolf, Sarah Jane and the Krillitanes, then France 1800. They had a nasty run in with Cybermen and then a face stealing alien, before getting trapped on a planet around a black hole.
All this time trying to find their captain. But Time and Space was a very large place.
“Ah! Cardiff, We can stop here for a bit, perhaps go and have some tea.” They hadn’t parked in the same place, not wanting to draw attention.
“Sounds nice.” Rose grins, looping her arm around his. “Tho between you and me, lets go get a drink, dance a little bit.” She commented as she saw it was already getting dark.
“Ah yes, dancing… Im quite good at dancing, i helped invent a lot of the dances you humans know ad love.” he boasted as they set off to the the nearest Bar
Walking inside, Rose sat down at a table and The Doctor, took it on himself, waving his hand to her when she called out loudly, that she wanted an Appletini.
“Hiii!” The Doctor beamed at the Barman, “Ill have one Screwdriver and one Appletini please.”
Jack snorted when he heard the order. It instantly reminded him of old friends, two particular ones that he had travelled with, and wasn’t that just what he needed, a reminder of happier times that were now lost to him? He shook his head slightly, then swallowed down half his bourbon and turned to the brown haired stranger to strike up a conversation.
And instantly started gaping instead.
“Doctor?!”
The Doctor looks up at the familiar voice and then beams as he sees the familiar face that it belonged too.
“Jack!” He Rejoiced, practically jumping over to hug him like an over excited puppy.
“We’ve been looking for you! We went back, to find you and you weren’t at the station and Time And Space is a verybig place when trying to find someone without a tracker. Add the fact you also have a Vortex manipulator on top of that, so it was twice as hard…” he rambled.
The Doctor’s loud exclamation made Rose look over to them and then before anyone could blink she had rushed over to the pair and wrapped her arms around the Captain’s waist. “Jack!”
