Note: I have not seen Torchwood yet, and I am an American so yea, be ready for mistakes. Also sorry if they are too badly out of character, I am using this as a writing exercise so :p (though please let me know if you see any thing major)

and even though I am not sure why, I will say I do not own Doctor Who, for If I did I would be awesome.

EDIT: I forgot to say this is slightly AU in that Rose never got back to the Doctor, there was no copy, and Donna is still traveling. Also this is Doctor/Rose, and of course Jack/everyone. Also fair warning, I am writing this with out knowing exactly where I am headed so there may be times I take a while, though I will try to update at least once a week.

Part 1:

Jack's head felt like it was going to split as the world spun out of control. Colors, things all on the verge of being nothing, and yet every thing, all at once. Eyes clamped shut in a futile attempt to flee from the vertigo. His lungs strained for breath and then, only silence swirled around him.

Pain laced through him, uncertain if the spinning was still in fact or only drifting in his head. He thought he was laying down, so perhaps he landed? With the realization of cold concrete under his hands, he figured at least he was not being thrown through space any longer. Slowly voices drifted through the haze of his mind.

"well you are a strange thing" an obviously male voice commented.

"looks like a normal bloke to me" a female voice responded "good looking too"

Jack could not help but grin, even barely alive, he knew he was the hottest thing around.

The male snorted "odd taste you have"

the girl laughed "you complaining?"

the male grunted "no, I suppose not" Jack could almost hear the grin.

Jack felt a soft prod to his side. "I see you grinning, can you talk? Move?" the female voice sounded softly just above him

"hey! Don't get too close to it" the male grumbled darkly

Jack snorted "like I would hurt a beautiful woman" he groaned out and was rewarded with a happy giggle from the female voice.

"you have not even opened your eyes, how could you know" the man practically scowled verbally

Jack almost laughed, "ah you see I can tell just from a voice, talent of mine" Jack ventured to open one eye and was rewarded with blinding light and a reawakening of the pain in his head. He slammed the eye shut again as he rolled over with a groan. "I swear the universe is trying extremely hard to find a way to kill me." he felt his mind try to slip him into unconsciousness, barely managed to fight it off.

"you and him both" he heard a grunt and the girl laugh "always throwing him in the worst places"

he heard a grumble from the male "anyway" he felt a hand reach out an touch him on his side then flinch back. "goin' to move you else where."

Jack groaned "yea, thanx" he mumbled "rather not sleep on concrete"

"go get a room ready" the male voice said softly just before footsteps retreated away.

Hands reached out brushing over his shoulders,then they flinched away again, with a grumble of unintelligible syllables Jack felt the hands lift him up. He smiled as he leaned his head on a leather covered shoulder "had a friend who used to ware leather"

"good for you" the man grumbled over him

Jack smiled faded slightly as he started to allow himself to drift off "not really, he can't stand being near me either"

If the other man had a response Jack never heard it, for the dark claimed him.
