Thanks in advance for reading and reviewing!

I am aware that the first chapter is short. And it is, very much so. At the moment the story is just getting started and I have lots more stuff planned, so...I hope you enjoy it :)

Southampton, April 1912

The docks at Southampton are busy-teeming with life, humans scurrying back and forth and back again-and I run, free as a bird through the bright April morning. Before me is the sparkling blue ocean, in its infinite majesty, and behind me are my broken memories, filled with the pain of my past in the TARDIS.

The last time I saw the Doctor, he and I and Martha Jones lived through an entire year-The Year that Never Was. We lived through brutal torture and imprisonment, caged days and restless nights at the hands of Harold Saxon aboard the Valiant. Since then, when Martha Jones walked the Earth and I got my next call to duty on my psychic paper, I've traveled and learned so, so, much about myself. I know who I am and who I will be and where I'll go and what I'll do and.

I'm Jack Harkness, the man who can never die. I'll see the soaring spires of the pinnacles of the Reign on Appalappachia and the underground civilizations of Gaean. I'll watch the birth of stars, scattered throughout the sky and I'll watch the turn of the universe, right before my eyes. And the best part? I'll never, ever stop. I keep forging ahead, tramping an endless path-never stopping, never faltering, always blazing ahead through the fire of time.
