[Jack was torn but he quietly listens to Rose with the weight her words deserve and he makes a choice to lay it all on the table and hope she understands that he understands Lady Me's anger. He's sure they've met outside this place and there may be other reasons she hates him. He looked at her and saw what he could have been become if he hadn't forced himself to keep up the facade of charm, if he hadn't had Gwen to focus on and Ianto to love. Now he'd lost them and Rex was alone back home with no idea what Jack had done. Hell Jack didn't know what he'd done, but he was no better than the Doctor right now.]
I could never be mad at you Rose....getting mad at you would mean getting mad at myself. I'm no better then the Doctor.
[He takes a deep, deep breath in and fights the urge to change the subject but he knows he can't.]
I've lost everything back home Rose. Torchwood is gone...destroyed the government blew up the Hub after Davros to cover up something I helped them do in 1965. They put a bomb in my stomach and blew me up from inside of the Hub....I learned I could regrow from nothing more than two limbs. They then tried to bury me alive but I'd been through that before so it wasn't a bad thing.
But then they forced me to choose between my family and saving the world. They were going to sell ten percent of the children of the world to alien drug users.....they killed my lover and I......killed my own grandson to stop them.
[He chokes back his emotions as he hears his daughters screams in his head and Ianto dying in his arms as Jack himself choked to death on poison gas.]
And I ran away...I didn't plan on ever coming back.....but another one of my stupid mistakes came back bite me and people stopped dying....they became me and I became mortal again.....the world turned dark and for a second...just a split second I thought I can die and someone else can fix this...I'm tried of saving the world.
no subject
[At first she blinks at Torchwood, she didn't know anything about it, just her promise not to let the Doctor go there, no matter what happened, and at the rest....]
[Rose's eyes widen in horror and fear.]
[She can't breathe for a moment, just hugs him protectively, and wraps him up in fluffy pink bubble wrap, a shield of her pure love, and something nothing can get through unless he wills it or she wills it.]
[Accidental bending.]
Jack...
[She can't get her eyes to squeeze shut, but maybe it's just as well.]
[She hugs him so hard, pets his hair, and tugs out her own toy sonic screwdriver, moving the bubble cushioning so she can get inside and sit on his lap, before turning it into a kind of bubblegum cloud.]
[She doesn't say she's sorry again, just hugs him, rests her head against his chest, and doesn't let go, eventually sticking the screwdriver into the bubble like a joystick and setting it forward to the box.] I'm taking you to my igloo and you are going to stay there and I'll give you all the booze you want and you're not allowed to leave until you feel better, Mister.
[She's glad she spent a month crying whenever she thought of what happened to Jack. She didn't know it was that bad. HAD NO IDEA.]
[But she was able to face it now.]
[She just rested her head on his heart, and held him tight.] You don't have to save the world anymore. I promise. Just let me love on you one moment at a time.
I can't make it all better, and I can't take away that hurt, though I wish I could.
But I'll make sure you have nothing but good things here, all right? No burdens, no heartaches, no one leaving you behind. I won't let 'em. They all have to come through me first. And I'm unbreakable, yeah?
Shhhh... [Gently pets his hair and kisses the top of his head.] We're almost home. No TARDIS soul. But you can hear her echo in the snow room. I made it for Ten for Christmas. The kids, well they're mostly sixteen, even Connie's nearly 15, but they've all been told off to the avoid the igloo. And we'll get you your own bar here too unless you'd be happier with 9. But for now, just rest okay? Let me do this, yeah?
This thing I'm doing, with the pink bubbles? It's not Bad Wolf. It's called bending. You can learn to do it too. It's how I made the rooms on the TARDIS, without her soul here and all. Adrien and Chat Noir are like kid brothers to me, and Chat's the only person who can even deal with Lady Me. Well and Link. Link's kind of time-cursed too, it's complicated. But either way, no one else knows what I did, so they won't... [Shudders.] They wouldn't even try, even if they didn't have to worry about me and the Doctor and an entire army comin' after 'em.
Jack....
[She lets go of her joystick screwdriver, so they basically just hover and turns and hugs him hard.] I am glad you're here. I won't say I'm sorry again... But if there's ever anything I can do. Just name it. Say the word, if I have to cross all of time and space, I will, yeah? I do love you. Captain. [HUGS!!!!]
[He once said she was worth dying for. She doesn't even WANT him to think she's worth surviving all that for, but she loves him for forgiving her enough not to hate her, or worse, wanting her to hate him. She never could.]
no subject
[The man known as Jack Harkness lets his emotions go as his head lays in Rose Tyler's lap. Tears stream down his face as he weeps silently for Ianto, Gwen, Tosh, Owen, Grey, Alice, Steven and Estelle. He cries remembering Esther, who died too damm young and unfairly. He doesn't make a sound just lets the tears fall washing his weary soul clean of the pain and grief he's kept hidden for years
He weeps for the lovers he hurt by not being able to love them enough, he cries double for Ianto there. He mourns for the family he lost, for the wife whose name he still keeps so close to his heart that he's sure only he remembers it. He even cries for a lost child he never got the chance to name, because Jack was too young to understand what his body was telling him.
The tears are also for Jack himself. For the boy he never got to be. For his failures and his successes. For every painful death he's silently suffered because his immortality is both a gift and a curse. And finally he cries for Rose and their first Doctor, for their short time together and for the quiet anger Jack carried within himself for over a century when he thought he wasn't good enough or strong enough to make them stay with him.
The tears finally run out and he lifts his head to look at Rose completely worn out and he says the one thing he's always wanted to say to her. The thing he never thought he'd ever say.]
I love you Rose Tyler....I love you and the Doctor more than I've loved anyone in my life. Both of you ruined me for anyone else and I'm more grateful then you will ever know.
no subject
[Gently holding his face she kisses him thoroughly, different from the others when he was all tender and taking her off guard, this one a real one.]
You know what I always tell everyone other than that you're the best?
That the more I learn about you, the more I love ya and I'm so proud of you.
Lady Me doesn't die, her immortality is like that. But she's still too cowardly to even make friends. And you? You're brilliant you are. I don't know how you do it, but I'm so proud of you Jack, I promise. [Kisses his forehead.]
no subject
[Jack leans up and kisses Rose back letting her love start to heal his wounded heart. Once he's sure he can sit up without falling back over he does so leaning against Rose for comfort He always knew Rose was proud of him, but to have confirmation means more than he can say.]
Me didn't grow up the way I did I think. Family was all you had where I grew up....you worked beside them you danced with them. To not love and respect your community was to be apart from it.
no subject
It's what happened between then that--
[Shivers.]
[The bubble-hover-car stops at the box, next to the bar, and she lets it down slowly, before fading off like Wizard of Oz good witch Glinda bubbles, making it so they're both standing before she grabs Jack's hand and takes him inside.]
'pparently the Doctor of that future....
Oh Jack...
[Sighs. And bends another bubble, this one intangible but to prevent any eavesdropping, unlocking the door, and leading him inside.] He really is a mess. Not thinkin' right. Even beyond just makin' her immortal. He didn't take her travelin' before that like me and you, and I dunno. Lady Me has Clara who died for him, from the TimeLords, on such a pedestal I can't tell what's right, but she got him extra life, past what even TimeLords are supposed to have. I don't think he likes it. Um. That's understating it. Just a tad.
[Shields her face with one hand, drops off at the Steampunk Kitchen to make tea and quickly put some cat food for a dish labeled "None" and another for "Brie" respectively.]
The Doctor who's been in Nautilus the longest is Fluffy. Ten. He's the oldest of himself, and the furthest along other than Me, but he's convinced Lady Me is from an alternate universe. That the TimeLords just got it wrong about TimeLords not having alternate universes...
This is though, yeah?
He thinks that because there's this pony version, and in the universe Sunset went into... so Sunset's a pony but she traveled through a magical barrier to another universe where she got turned human. [Giggles.] I know that sounds mad, but trust me. We all had a storm where we got turned into ponies too. Four got injured just before that by a zombie unicorn and 8 looked after him and made him eat tons of oats and hay and barley and I guess apples. He's sick of apples now. [Giggles, and hands Jack a cup of tea before remembering, snapping, and changing it to coffee. BENDING IS CONVENIENT AF OKAY.]
[And she just digs out a bottle of bandy and hands the whole thing to him, before leading him to the igloo in the snow room.]
But Sunset saw me and the Doctor in the human universe, as Ten and I are now, but then pony versions in the pony universe.
Thing is though, I think... that was me. And Bad Wolf. He also, the pony version, wears Four's scard, and acts a bit like 9 too and just... [Huffs.] 9 says he could see me doing that. [Shrug.] Given what I did to you...
So 10, Fluffy, thinks that proves it's another universe that Me is from, because he intends to just regenerate into this body over again. Four said that it was insanely dangerous to attempt, and vain as hell -- even for him, besides, but -- [Rose rolls her shoulders, and digs out the the first cubby in a cyborg tree, specially made to generate the snow that never accumlates, oxygen too, but survive on the artifical starlight above.]
[In said cubby: is a small treasure trove of picture albums and links saved specifically for Jack, as well as a plushie of 9, and a mini toy sonic screwdriver, just like Rose's, with "Bad Wolf" along it.]
He was so scared when he found out that it could be his universe, our universe, he asked me to take the memories out of his head for him. [Serious nod looking Jack in the eyes.] And I did. And I'll do it again if I havfta. Whatever it takes.
[Shoves her hands in her pockets and leads along the frozen "spinny rapids" river, towards the igloo.]
Lady Me has no idea, of course. He doesn't even know there's things missing. Wouldn't work if he did. I sealed it off, in case something ever comes up, put in a few failsafes, but... [Rolls her shoulders and crawls into the igloo, spreading out and waiting for him to join next to her.]
It's not upbringing with her.
At least she didn't completely lose track of that the Doctor might never forgive her if she just started being a homicidal maniac, but she bragged about bringing in cybermen and giving them haven, and others scared of the Doctor. Pickin' up the Doctor's leftovers and left behinds she called it.
It pisses me off. [Rolls up her side propped up via one arm.] And it scares me.
The worst he gets is from guilt. 'm pretty sure that's why he made her immortal. Using her, and felt guilty that she died on his watch. Pretty sure... I don't know what happens after I find Donna and him with Bad Wolf again, Ten doesn't even think I will, and it's why I want to drag him back to our universe with me just for a bit, just to prove it to him, but whatever it was that makes Lady Me think I'm dead? I'd put twenty pounds that he's tearin' 'imself up with guilt about it.
Guilt about the Time War, guilt about losing me, guilt about leaving you, guilt about everyone who's ever died on his watch. And Oswin basically said that's what happened near as she could tell.
[SIGH.] And rather than fixin' that, or just makin' it not so severe... Lady Me seems determined to push it as hard as she can. Thinkin' she can use the guilt to her advantage.
'S nuffin to do with upbringin' Jack.
I'll grant you she can't remember who she is... or was. But she doesn' push people away just because she doesn' know better. She does it because she says we're all like smoke and mayflies.
It's funny. Um.
[Thinks it through carefully. What Four entrusted her with, and whether it's all right to share.] Four got mad at Ten treatin' him like he's already dead and gone, right? [Slight wince.] But Lady Me treats everyone like that.
[Shakes her head.] I know why I can't get along with that. But it's worse. I get prickly around her. Rose-cactus, all thorns, no blossoms or healing power. It's my defenses, but I always more about cutting her. I know she wants to hurt me but if anything... I just have to be indestructible, like I said. And the Doctor? Can't know or he'll lose it. I only told Four teeny tiny parts of it, and he's still...
[Rubs between her eyes.] Ten knows I fight with her, there was no hiding that. She made it obvious too. She always tries to get under my skin. Brings up his future wife, River Song, or Clara, of course, just on and on about me not being good enough. [IMPISH GRIN, and slinks into her short sleeve hoodie some, still grinning.] Last time, it was on the network here, so I just told her, let's have it out then. She called me a dirty-minded slutty child basically, so I just took my shirt off for the whole network. [EVIL GIGGLE.] Worth it. Shut her up good. She hasn't spoken to me since. Never been so peaceful.
[ALL THE EVIL GRINS.] Freaked out my baby bros though, oops.
But she's just so... opposite you and me.
UGH and she called deaths beautiful.
[SHUDDERS.] She has this weird sick fascination for them! Reminds me of Noosh.
I mean I guess I can't blame her for getting a little obsessed, but it's not healthy. And she doesn't get where it's a bad thing. Or even just something the Doctor can't be near.

[Jack follows Rose into the igloo without a word and just listens. Though when he's handed the brandy bottle he cracks it open and drinks deeply from it relishing the burn of the alcohol as it goes down. He understands Me's insults a little better now and they still infuriate him. As if seeing Rose as a sexual being with people other than him would bother Jack. The comment about death as beauty does bother him because it's not. He saw the world when death was taken away, saw the mess and the grief and the loss. He runs a hand over the plushies and the sonic and thinks of Owen and Tosh. Their deaths were heroic and they saved Cardiff but if he could die to give them more life he would have given up his life in a heartbeat. If he could have stayed buried for another 2,000 years to save Ianto and Clem and Esther he would have. He drinks deeply again and admits something he's pretty dammed sure is going to bite him later.] He did Rose...Fluffy he regenerated without changing faces. I was there i saw it. I'm from your future. [He drinks more desperately needing the numbness to strengthen himself from the pain of this day.] I've seen you again and Mickey and your Mum. But you can't tell anyone..most of all him..

[She's already planning to call a few friends in and warn them to keep Lady Me away from her for at least the first month Jack's there because otherwise the first snide insult Lady Me throws at Jack, Rose is going to do something even crazier than flash her boobs.]
What? [She believes him, and she should be proud of Fluffy, but it's so confusin'.]
[She curls up on him, and gently plays with his hair.] I won't tell. Definitely not. But... He turns back into himself? Really?
That'd make him happy.
no subject
[Jack has more reasons to dislike me other then just her insults and rude assumptions. But he isn't about to go into that right now because history is history for Jack right now. He focuses on Rose in his lap and smiles.]
Yup...I never got the chance to tell you but I found the hand he lost during the early days of his regeneration. I used it with some Torchwood tech when our time lines met up again then he took it. When he regenerated he fed the energy into the hand instead of using it himself. Created a copy of himself. Half human half Time Lord...a meta crisis he called it.
[What Jack isn't going to mention is what that selfish choice did to people, the lives it changed. He still feels the flash of anger over what happened to Donna Noble and now Jack isn't there to watch over her. He takes another drink in honor of Donna before speaking again.]
And no I thought it but I never did anything so don't bother asking.
[He winks to make it clear what he's talking about with that one but his heart really isn't in it.]
no subject
With him splintered up, he feels like he's not himself. Especially because, Fluffy's the oldest, and used to them all being in his past. A ghost, I think he told Four. And I kinda read him the riot act about that. Told him he needed to treat them all separate, like their own person, not just appendages. [Snorts.] Hella ironic with the hand thing.
But for awhile the only way he felt one again...
[STEALS A MOUTHFUL OF THAT BRANDY RIGHT FROM THE BOTTLE.]
[And pops open the picture albums to find some of 9 & 10 making out, and points out the picture on the wall framed of them from the AU event.]
[AND GIGGLES.] I think he's started decidin' it's not too healthy for him, ahhh fickle TimeLord physiology.... [Facepalms.] Every time I think I get a beat on him, it changes. Definitely tied to his emotions and stress but... [Waves a hand.] And Four's scarf is hardwired to his nerves. So I have way too much fun with that.
Careful flirtin' with him though. He's still learnin' the basics. 8's really protective of him too, oh [Snaps, sucks on a finger, and flips pages to naked 8, pulling out her phone, so he can read the whole thing.] Totally your type though. The blue eyes kill me. [Laughs.] 4's always bright-eyed and manic. Yanno like 9 was? But 8 really perfected the piercing seeing right into your soul thing. He's right before the Time War, and it's already started, but Rassilon was tryin' ta make him into a weapon so... you'll have a lot to talk about. [Waves a hand.] No worries about the timelines. Lady Me thinks she can get him to remember things for outside of here, but so far? I doubt it. 4 said he tested 9 and 10 and they definitely don't remember being him here. Honestly, she'd have better luck getting me to do it, with all I've messed up time and everything else already, I probably could mess up her timeline, but... [Shrugs.]
Did you know 10's the first one of him to have brown eyes? It's always been blue before. He said it was because of me. When he regenerated. Doesn't help Fluffy feel like the rest of himself though. He's the one with the box, he ascended, and adopted a buncha kids or they adopted him, but it makes him feel separate from himself. Even more. The others don't come by the box much. 9 did before he died here again, but he lost his memories, so he's a bit out of it, and all the kids around make him skittish. He's still in his super anti-domestics phase. And 4 and 8 hate that the Box is missing her soul.
The Doctor only had it made because originally he was livin' like a nomad here, and he got scared of losing me. This way, it's still basically a fort. So even though he remembers losin' me to Torchwood I guess?? [Headtilt, looking at Jack to confirm.] This way, he knows I'll be safe here. And he checks in every few hours if I'm not around, even when we're fightin'. Sweet, huh? I slept with Four, we weren't even fightin' just him and Four, and I felt like a stupid human, long story, but first thing he said was, "Was it good?" [Giggles! Rests her chin over Jack.] So now's your chance. Go get 'im, Tiger.
no subject
[Jack's simmering lust that had flared when he kissed Nine then dimmed and then flared again when verbally sparring with Fluffy came roaring back to life at the pictures and he doesn't bother to shift Rose in his lap. He has always been in complete control of his chemical make up and while his pheromones are spiking a bit he knows Rose will let him know if she's uncomfortable. And he considers the tight feeling of his pants right now a good thing. It's reminding him he hasn't lost everything about himself. He's still Jack Harkness a 51st century guy with everything that comes along with that.]
Oh you naughty beautiful girl of mine. You know me too well. And believe me when I'm less emotionally knackered I will take you up on the offer.
[He taps the picture of Eight happily and is already planning out in his head how to win that one over. He does love a challenge and he has a bet to win. When he talks again his voice is a husky whisper.]
You never met the Brigadier I think? Old friend of the Doctor's starting in his Third regeneration. Tough old bird but a good man. Ran UNIT for years until his daughter took it over. He and I had a bet going that I couldn't flirt with each regeneration at least once without breaking my timeline. I never tried it...too risky but it was fun to bounce around ideas with him. Now it looks like I might win that bet after all.
no subject
Four mentioned him a lot. If you tell him about the bet, he'll probably help ya. [Reaches an arm back, eyes sparkling all mischief, and gently massages the very back of Jack's neck along the spine.] All of them have a weak spot along there. 8's back and shoulders too. And 4's ticklish, and 9's more senstive on the side of his neck. 10's throat and front of neck. [Trails her fingers around front, and slides them up under Jack's chin.] Use it well. [Winks!]
no subject
[Jack grins and nods. His voice is now a relaxed purr, no charm no mask, just a calm ease that reveals he enjoys being touched. He reaches up one hand to twine his fingers in Rose's hair and he gently plays with it. There is no urgency to the moment. He is just enjoying the feeling of the lust burning through his veins and the sweet scent of Rose in his nostrils.]
Oh I plan on it. I have a lot of time to make up for and a lot of fantasies to share. I haven't played the long seduction game in a long time.
no subject
[Very much.]
[And Rose just keeps playing her fingers along Jack's jawline and back of neck, just happy to have her favorite Captain Jack. <3]
You should see him play pipe organ. If it doesn't give you as much a complex as it gave me I think. 9 plays piano too. It's terrible. And apparently the one that messed up Lady Me plays guitar, so I've been learning bass just to jam with him. And for fun, yeah?
no subject
[Jack chuckles softly and tilts his head so that he enjoy more of her fingers on his face. This is the most relaxed he's felt since the 456 and he doesn't want their moments alone to end.]
And wouldn't you know it I sing. Actually performed in one of Cole Porter's original shows on Broadway. And did a few other things with him too, but that's a story for another time.

[Jack laughs and sings a few lines of "Anything Goes"in a rich baritone. It seems like a fitting song for the moment.]
Sing away the grumps huh? I'll have to try that with them.
no subject
I'll help!
[Because just try stopping her from trying.]
