A/N - I CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT A SIMPLE ONE-SHOT AND DECIDED TO DO A SERIES OF DRABBLES. I just love Jack. And I love when the Doctor loves someone but they don't love him that way because it's rare IT'S SO RARE. Wow, I'm sorry about the caps.

Disclaimer - I don't own Doctor Who. I only own my OC, Emma Walker.

Emma ran as the ground shook beneath her. To anyone else in the area, there was just a light earthquake; not a big deal. But she knew that just beneath the ground was a giant freakin' worm from outer space and it wanted to eat her. She looked over her shoulder and cursed when she saw the lump in the ground gaining on her, dirt and grass bursting up in its path. That's when she tripped over a rock and fell face down. She quickly twisted onto her back and scrambled backwards as the worm shot out from the ground. "Doctor!" She normally wouldn't have called for him, but she was weaponless and absolutely terrified. "Doc-" An arm wrapped around her ribs and pulled her to her feet, dragging her away from the thing. She saw it dive back underground before whoever had a hold of her spun her around and grabbed onto her hand. "Jack?"

"Thank me later, run now!"

"Right!" She let him lead her into an alley, slamming into his back when he stopped. "What are you doing?"

He gave her a look. "Avoiding getting eaten!" He jumped for the ladder of a fire escape and groaned when his fingers fell just short of it. He looked around and spotted a dumpster just a few feet away. "Come on, help me."

"Are you sure it can even break through concrete?" The ground at the end of the alley suddenly split and rose as the worm slowly but surely made its way to them. "Never mind, then!" She ran to the end of the dumpster with him, leaning her shoulder into it and pushing with all her might. They managed to push it rather easily and Jack was quick to lift Emma up onto it. She ran across it and climbed up the ladder and onto the fire escape, turning back to help him. The worm suddenly burst up beneath the dumpster, sending it and Jack up into the air. "Jack!" She managed to grab onto his hand and was nearly pulled down by his weight, but she held onto the railing. It was a rather bad desicion, considering her one shoulder was about to dislocate while the hand holding onto the railing had rusty metal biting into it. "Grab onto the ladder!" She said through clenched teeth.

"I'm trying!" His free hand went to one of the bars and he was just started to pull himself up when the worm jumped. He let out a yell and swung his legs up to grip the ladder. The worm missed him by just a couple inches before falling back to the ground. He climbed up in such a rush that he ended up toppling Emma over and landing on top of her. They stayed still for a moment, both of them breathing harshly before a smile spread over his face. "Well, it's later and I did say you could thank me, didn't I?"

"Oi, wormy! Look over here! A nice, tasty Time Lord!"

Emma rolled her eyes and shoved Jack off of her, sitting up to see the Doctor at the end of the alley. He was jumping up and down, waving his arms in the air to catch the worm's attention. It worked and the thing dove back underground, heading straight for him. "Are you an idiot?" She yelled, starting towards the ladder. The only thing that stopped her was Jack's hand on her arm.

"He knows what he's doing." The two watched as the worm stopped in front of the Doctor and came back above the surface, looming over him.

"Hello!"

Jack groaned. "Okay, maybe he doesn't know what he's doing." They shared a look before they headed down the ladder, Emma having some difficulty with a sore shoulder and cut hand. By the time they'd hopped off the dumpster and made it to the Doctor and the worm — who was surprisingly so focused on the Time Lord that it didn't feel the vibrations of them walking — he was telling it something about birds.

"I'm friends with some very, very big birds, you know! It'd be a shame if one of them decided to visit me, don't you think?" The Doctor tried to hide a smirk, fiddling with his bow tie. "As they say, the early bird catches the worm." Within a matter of seconds, the worm was gone and they were left with the shaking from its departure. He laughed in triumph and turned to face his companions. "I don't know any birds. But it did the trick, didn't it?"

"Yes, Doctor." Emma laughed. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Jack grinning at her and she turned to him, an eyebrow raised. "What, Harkness?"

"About that thank you..." His grin turned into a suggestive smirk.

She gave a dramatic sigh. "Well, I suppose if I have to do it." She leaned up and placed a soft kiss on his lips, not noticing the dark look from the Doctor. She pulled back when Jack tried to slip his tongue into his mouth. "Thank you. Pervert." She hit his chest with her injured hand by mistake and then became all too aware of the pain. "Doctor," she whined. "my shoulder might possibly be popped out of the socket and I think I need a tetanus shot. Fix me."

"I'm not an actual doctor, Emelyne." He dropped his glare to give her a strained smile.

"But I hurt."

"Alright, let's head back to the TARDIS. Me and Jack will try and fix you up, best we can." Hearing Jack take a breath before he would say something undoubtedly dirty, he held a finger up. "Don't!"

A/N - Was Jack in character? Do you all mind the fact that I have Jack travelling with the eleventh Doctor? Are you all okay with this being Jack/Emma, but having a bit of one-sided Doctor/Emma? I'M NERVOUS.
