"Jack?" Elizabeth said, she had her hands at her hips and a confused expression planted on her face. Barbossa and Gibbs who were both standing nearby glanced at said names' direction. Jack who happened to be a few yards away, suddenly whipped around. He had just been previously conversing in conversation with one of Mistress Ching's imperial guards; however the pirate had his hand placed on a weapon which sat snug inside his belt, a lingering threat. So when Jack turned around, it was no surprise that he looked slightly more than grateful for the sudden opportunity to excuse himself from the pirate and his weapon.

"Yes, luv?" Jack said as he walked towards her with his usual drunken demeanor. He smiled at her with his signature grin. Barbossa, who was standing to Elizabeth's right, rolled his eyes.

"Jack," She started, "Who was that man you were talking to?" she asked.

"Who, him?" Jack said spinning back around to point at the pirate guard, the man had turned away from Jack and was focusing his attention back to the crowd of pirates before them. They were all in one giant room filled to the brim with Pirate Lords and members of their crew. The song had been sung and the Brethren Court had been summand and here they gathered. Deciding on how they were to face there enemy, the East India Trading Company and lots of the Royal Navy. The Pirate Queen, which as it turned out was actually Elizabeth, winning by one vote, said vote being Jack, and had decided to go to war with their enemy.

"Because to be truthfully honest, I have no idea who that is." Jack said with a slight slur in his speech. Elizabeth shook her head.

"No, not him, him" She said as she pointed at a man all the way on the other side of the room and slightly in the shadows, playing leisurely with his guitar and sitting lazily in his chair.

"Oh, him" Jack said his voice slightly less louder now as he finally noticed who she ment. Elizabeth noticed this and watched closely as Jack's signature grin suddenly fell. Barbossa seeing this as well stepped over to Elizabeth with a grin of his own plastered on his face.

"That would be Cap'n Teague, keeper of the Code, your majesty." Barbossa said with a quick glance at Jack as he spoke. Jack frowned at him.

"I know that" She said slightly annoyed. She had been here to see Barbossa call Teague out as the keeper of the code, but that was all she really did know. What she didn't understand was how Jack seemed to have a perfectly good conversation with him and not end up shot.

"I ment how does Jack know him?" She said glancing at Jack who seemed to be no longer frowning but rather scowling at Barbossa now. Barbossa sneered in return.

"Jack?" Elizabeth said snapping the two out of there sudden staring contest of glares and sneers.

"He's a …" Jack pondered what to say, what could he say, Teague was his dad, haha yea right! Besides Jack himself didn't even know if Teague was really his father or not, he had always referred to him as The-Man-Who-Might-Be-Dad. So why start now?

"A family friend" Jack finished, then glanced to his left. "Like Master Gibbs here!" He said smiling and putting an arm on Gibb's shoulder.

"Why thank ye Cap'n, always a pleasure to be called a friend." Gibbs said smiling proudly. Barbossa again rolled his eyes, then he sighed.

"I'll tell you who he really is." Barbossa said to Elizabeth, all the while smirking at the sudden look of horror on Jack's face.

"You see, Jack and Teague go way back" He started "The two are so close you might even call them family" He said slightly sarcastic. "In fact the two are actually family. Truly father and son they be." He finished, a wide grin spread across his face. Elizabeth gaped at him, but suddenly regained her composure. Jack however was frowning deeply at this statement.

"You're lying!" Jack suddenly said pouting slightly and lifting his finger to point at
Barbossa. Barbossa frowned now.

"I am not." He said

"Are to." Jack said

"Am not!" Barbossa growled

"Are too!" Jack yelled

"Am not!" Barbossa said now growing angry

"You are to and I can prove it!" Jack said with sudden defiance.

Barbossa stared at him "Alright fine prove it!" he said clearly annoyed.

"Well you see first off, mate, I myself don't actually know if he's my da' or not." Jack said a bit nervously, talking about Teague was always something personal and personal things always made Jack uneasy especially when it came to family.

"So there for you truthfully don't have the right to say that he is, because whether he is or isn't is unbeknownst to me, because it wouldn't really be fair for you to say that he is if he isn't and not very fair to me either, but if he is then there would be no point in me sayin' he isn't because he would be, savvy?" Jack said looking around him at the three people who seemed to be listening to him. Barbossa just stared at him not really sure how to respond back yet. Gibbs just looked utterly confused, like he was still trying to figure it all out in his head. Elizabeth was doing a lot of what both Gibbs and Barbossa were doing, she stared at jack all the while trying to figure out just what exactly he ment.

"But, Jack how can you not know if he's your father?" Elizabeth said finally figuring through what Jack had ment.

Jack shrugged "I've been pondering that question and answer me whole life, luv, not knowing I mean." He said grinning. Elizabeth frowned.

"So you've never wondered enough to ask then?" She said. Jack looked suddenly horrified by this statement.

"No, not really." He said

"So you're not going to ask, even now when we are only hours away from a war that could change things forever." She said slightly exasperated. Jack pondered what she said but finally came to a decision.

"Nope, I'm good." He said cheerfully, turning a bit indicating that he was about to leave rendering the conversation over if he did, besides he had, had enough of talking about Teague, his stomach was already turning making him feel sea sick while on dry land.

"Fine then." He heard her say as he was turning to leave, his back now to her. "I guess I'll just have to ask him myself." Jack froze mid step. Then, he whorled around to face her as she made a move towards Teague.

"What! Whoa, whoa, whoa, no, nu uh, there will be no asking, ever!"Jack said waving his arms about widely trying to stop her and to also get his point across.

"Jack! Get out of my way!" She yelled frustration and annoyance getting the best of her. But Jack wasn't about to stop, and though Elizabeth would never admit to it, Jack was pretty strong so getting past him wasn't nearly as easy as she had thought.
