A/N: At this point I should be begging for your forgiveness my dear readers even though my stupid pride keeps me from doing so but I have so many unfinished fics in work that starting a new one is foolish.

However I have a good excuse for this one. First being that it's JE and second being that it's sequel to "Through The Ages" and very much tied into "We Almost me 10 times".

And finally…My other works are in progress so what harm can this little baby do?

READ HEREFor those who haven't read "Through The Ages" here's a little summary: Jack and Elizabeth see each other 200 years after AWE only to find out they've both drank from the Fountain Of Youth. Will is dead and Elizabeth is desperate to become mortal again. With the help of Barbossa (new captain of the FD) they find a magical mirror that can reverse their state. Now all they need is to figure out how to make the mirror work

Jack ,being Jack, has a brilliant idea. After proposing to Elizabeth, giving her his trusty compass and throwing her overboard he heads towards the only place that can help them and leaves Lizzie no choice but to follow.

Elizabeth was not particularly happy about her destination but neither did she have a choice. Deep down she knew that following the compass would lead her there.

Now she peered at the strong fortress which still stood after all these years. It was surrounded by cliffs and rock no one dared climbed and so it was safe.

Now she pulled rolled up her sleeves and splashed some water on her face from the bottle to protect herself from the humidity she was so used to. Her hair now came down to under her ear, also in an attempt to cool herself off.

As she steered the yacht slowly to the left she watched the little flickering lights in the windows.

She grinned.

They were expecting her.

"And so my dear not-so-gentlemen. We reach the conclusion that it's necessary for all the brethren to help us at such a time. Being that we're immortal and all and you have no choice."

Jack explained animatedly as he pranced along the table the brethren members were sitting on.

These pirates, if you may call them that, were less of a pirate than their ancestors but for now they had to do. Had to hand in their piece of eight so Jack could summon the person who would help him and Elizabeth to become mortal again.

If this were the old brethren court surely there would be an outburst of protests by now but these knew men who didn't know of Jack's naturally harmless nature and had only heard myths and legends about him were now regarding him with the sort of admiration and awe reserved for a god.

One brave man rose. "And we're supposed to believe the legends are true and you're immortal and all?"

Jack smiled theatrically. "How else could I know the location of shipwreck cove? Know how to call on you and that you have pieces of eight?"

They all looked at each other with expressions that read: He has a point.

On the other side of the room Gibbs gave Jack a thumbs up and an amused smile.

Jack continued to walk down the long table.

"And so my dear friends let us summon our dear friend by means of using our little old trinkets shall we?"

The same man got up again ad aimed his revolver at Jack. "I'd rather not you imposter!"

There was a click on the trigger and next thing anyone knew Jack's white shirt was growing red.

Jack could feel everyone's breath being sucked into their chest.

He rolled his eyes as he regarded his wound and took out his pistol with a tired expression.

"That wasn't the best decision mate."

A gunshot echoed through the room and the man's body hit the floor with a thud.

Jack looked puzzled. He'd never pulled the trigger but then who had?

He needed only to look past the dead body to find the answer to that.

"Nobody hurts my fiancé but me."

" Ah! Lizzie darling! 'Bout time you joined us."

Elizabeth scanned the room with a strange feeling. It was the same and yet it was all so different.

"Anyone else having doubts? No? I thought not," she said in her most menacing voice.

Gibbs jumped in good nature. "Now you sea dogs. You can grab your grub in the cabin next door and leave your piece of eight on the table. Hurry on now."

There was a sudden commotion and seconds later the room was completely empty.

Jack sat on the table without a word.

Elizabeth peeled Jack's shirt off wordlessly.

"Now now darling! If you want me with my clothes off you need only ask you know."

Elizabeth smiled patiently. "What would you do without me Jack? Now this is going to hurt a bit."

She went to pull out the bullet.

"Don't worry luv, I'm Captain—Bloody hell woman that hurt!"

She proceeded to clean up the wound on his shoulder. "You know Jack. This little game of hide and seek was not quite amusing as you may think."

"I was hardly hiding luv. It was just a game of seek."

"I don't appreciate being thrown off your ship just because you think I might persuade you not to call on the brethren."

"You'll learn to appreciate it da'ling. Ever met another man with six bullet marks?"

Elizabeth shook her head as she bandaged him up. "Can't say that I have. Met one with five though when I was fighting in the Second World War," she said distractedly. "There, all done!"

"You look nice with short hair," Jack examined as he played with a strand of her hair.

"Thanks," she turned away with a smile.

"Don't I get a hello kiss?"

"You don't deserve one."

"But you're going to give me one anyway because I'm handsome?"

She smiled and kissed him on the cheek teasingly. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into a real kiss which she responded to gratefully.

"I should be mad at you."

"But you're not."

He hopped off the table and collected the pieces of eight the pirates had left there and put them in a big bowl and added one of his own rings to the lot.

"And your piece luv?"

Elizabeth took out an oddly shaped rock and tossed it in.

Jack raised an eyebrow. "I see you got the rock I left you some two hundred years ago."

She shrugged. "I couldn't find anything else to use as my piece of eight."

Jack grinned and tossed all the pieces in and lit them. "Now a special friend of mine will come along soon and she'll help us become mortal again."

"She?"

"Jealous are we?"

"I just hate to see you get slapped."

"This one isn't quite slap-y."

"Oh no?"

"I clearly remember that she preferred biting."

"Jack!"

"What? 'm just being honest."

She gave him a look that said: What am I to do with you?

She raced across the room and gave him a real kiss. One with hunger, smashing her lips against his and exploring his mouth. Her body was melted into his, not really caring that he was wounded.

When they broke apart she could see that she'd surprised him quite a bit.

He tried to smirk but it came off as a lopsided smile. "Well that was certainly—"

She smiled arrogantly. "Just shut up."

He obeyed and she dragged him by the collar, pulling him along with lively playful strides as he followed like a hungry puppy. He might as well have been drooling.

Finding an empty cabin in Shipwreck cove would be a piece of cake. It was a fortress made of ships after all.

It felt good being in control.
