WHO: [livejournal.com profile] wrong_sometimes & [livejournal.com profile] comesback
WHERE: A seedy bar in Jersey.
WHEN: 4am this morning
WARNINGS: Jack Harkness is his own warning.
SUMMARY: Cassie saw herself heading to the seedier parts of Jersey to drag back one Jack Harkness, so, that’s what she’s doing.
FORMAT: Paradrunken somethings

Leaving the message for Scatty was easy. Hey, going to Jersey for the night. One of those psychic things. Don’t freak out. Easy as pie. Getting to Jersey was a little more difficult, but flash enough of saved-up cash and a gypsy cab will take you about anywhere. Getting into the bar?

That one was a little harder since every time she approached the front door the burly guard looked at her side-eye and twitched toward a phone she knew would call the cops in two key-strokes. But the back entrance, where they took out the trash? Not as guarded. So she slid inside and stayed in the shadows, looking around.

Jesus, and she thought Nick hung out in some seedy places. This was just priceless. Now she just had to find the right bar-stool from her drawing and she'd collect what she was there to collect.

Perched atop said bar-stool was one Jack Harkness, midway through a martini. (Shaken, not stirred. The fact that Bond was even around to order those amused the hell out of him, honestly.) He hadn't been at this particular bar since Tuesday, just most of the night on Wednesday. He is, however, intent on his drinking. It's been a long time since he's had a decent martini, and this one is ..halfway decent, but hey. At least it's alcohol.

It took a lot of drinking for Jack Harkness to get completely hammered. So far, he had only managed it the once, with the Doctor on their road trip. He started a bit and turned to quirk an eyebrow at Cassie.

"Nothing that you're old enough for," he replied, downing the rest of the martini in a few gulps. "What the hell are you doing here, and who the hell let you in?" Look, he can be a responsible adult.

"I don't need dragging back," he pointed out testily and nodded to the barman to bring his check.

"I am perfectly capable of driving myself back. In a couple days. Or whenever I'm sober." He gave Cassie a scrutinizing look. "Yeah, but this is still a bar, and I'm pretty sure the legal drinking age isn't high school, here."

"I'm pretty sure I don't," Jack replied. It wasn't quite an order, but it was verging on one. Old habits died hard, what can we say.

"And I'll go back when I want to. Which is not now."

Jack blinked at her a little. "....So... your power is predicting the future, huh? Pretty handy." He sighed a little and paid the bill.

"Why'd you come after me? I can take care of myself."

"I'd guess so."

He sat back down and gave Cassie a considering look.

"Yeah. ...So I guess it's ..unfortunately, impossible to disappear here, huh. At least in my case." He glanced down at his hands for a moment. Yes, he'd had time to think while away, but not quite enough. Oh, well. He'd have to get used to this not-dying thing sooner or later, anyway.

"Oh yeah, I know."

He does. He hasn't been here terribly long, but he's still lost people he'd rather he hadn't. Like Rory.

"You don't need to call the Doctor," he said, a little harsher than he meant to. "It's not his problem to deal with. It's mine."

"That would be none of your business, actually." It took him dying to explain it to Zevran; he's not about to tell just anyone that he can come back to life.

"So just leave it alone."

[identity profile] comesback.livejournal.com 2011-06-26 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, if you insist. You're obviously not going to leave me alone, so I might as well come." He sighed and got up.

"Come on, then."

"Yeah, I think so." He shouldered his coat on and headed for the door, trying not to roll his eyes too obviously.

"Let's go."

"Out of morbid curiosity, what would that be?" He asked, unable to hide a slight grin despite himself. He flagged down a passing cab and spoke to the driver, then paused to hold the door open for Cassie.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't traumatize you or anything."

[identity profile] comesback.livejournal.com 2011-07-02 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Really." Alright, he's just amused, now. "What did the guy look like? Was he at least cute? If he wasn't, I'll have some talking to do with myself."

"In what way?"

Sorry, Cassie, you've piqued his interest. Now he'll never shut up. (Also, distraction is a fun thing.)

"Oh, fine, be that way." He settled back in his seat and gave her an unrepentant grin.

"Of course he was hot, I have good taste."

[identity profile] comesback.livejournal.com 2011-07-04 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"I have my ways." He'd wanted to go somewhere no one would look for him, actually. Bit hard to do, when you have a psychic looking for you.

"Mmm, trust me, you don't know the half of it." He is, yes. Even more of a handful than the Doctor, sometimes, when it suits him. The good thing about this is that it takes a lot for him to get properly drunk. Be thankful, Cassie!

"There was a point to leaving my phone off," Jack pointed out, a little testily. "I didn't want finding. How was I supposed to know you'd come after me?"

[identity profile] comesback.livejournal.com 2011-07-08 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"I probably won't," he replies. "Pretty sure I'm going to get talked to when I get back, anyhow."

He glances over at Cassie. "Sorry, anyway, that you had to come out here and get me."
