Not sure if this is an AU or not but I am introducing a mary sue character for Pirates. Not that I own pirates of course. Rated M for later chapters.
Savage.
A ghostly fog rose up from no where to envelope the ship, all hands were quiet and afraid. The ocean lapped at the sides of the boat as it glided along. Crash, crunch, screams of agony…deathly silence and there is no more ship. Unconscious a lone body floats away.
Raucous music fills the room as Captain Jack weaves his way back to Gibbs, drinks in hand. He hands a tankard to his first mate and sways into his own seat. "I like rum" said Jack.
"Aye rum is good" replied Gibbs taking a swig of his. They sat drinking and talking for awhile then decided to head back to the pearl. The two pirates drunkenly staggered down the dock to be met by a brawl. Jack looked to Gibbs "Did we leave this here?" asked the captain.
"Not that I recall, cap'n" replied Gibbs.
Three of the pearls crew were fighting with some other pirates. Jack watched in amusement until a shot rang out and the men froze, looking towards the ship docked opposite the pearl. A woman stood there, pistol raised high. "Now that I have your attention boys. Get your drunken asses back on board and get this ship ready to make way you scurvy dogs" she yelled her tone of voice held a promise of pain. The unknown pirates scurried to obey her. The pearls crew looked to Jack as the female pirate swung down onto the dock on a rope. She landed gracefully in front of Captain Sparrow and his first mate. She smiled at Jack looking him up and down shamelessly. Jack gulped and watched her ogle him.
Long jet black hair down to her waist, eyes like emeralds, snow white skin and full ruby red lips, curves for days…Jack couldn't stop staring. She was wearing the tightest crimson leather pants Jack had ever seen, a black cotton shirt tied just below her breasts with a crimson leather vest over it and knee high black leather boots. Her sword hung low on her hips drawing Jack's attention to her flat abs.
"So which of you is captain of that fine ship?" she asked waving a hand in the direction of the pearl.
"I am" stated Jack "Captain Jack Sparrow"
The woman raised an eyebrow causing Jack to swallow hard.
"I heard that Captain Sparrow was dead" she challenged him.
"Lies…all lies" he said "Never believe everything you hear…and you are?" slurred Jack flirtatiously.
"Captain Scarlett Savage" she replied.
Jack was instantly sober, that name made seasoned pirates blanche and here she was standing in front of Jack looking as though she were deciding how good he would taste. She smiled at him, pouting a little. "Would you care to join me for a drink Captain?" asked Jack, never one to pass up an opportunity to get into trouble. "Where would we be drinking this drink, Captain?" she asked a dangerous twinkle in her eye.
"My cabin of course" stated Jack.
A wicked grin slid over her features as she accepted his offer.
Half turning to Gibbs, Captain Sparrow barked an order "Mr Gibbs, a bottle of rum and two cups to my cabin at once"
"Aye cap'n" replied the first mate as he scampered off to get the rum.
Jack held out his arm, the very picture of a proper gentlemen and said "Shall we Captain?"
Captain Savage took his arm allowing Jack to escort her aboard the pearl. He led her to his cabin where Gibbs had already opened the rum and set out a plate of bread and cheese. Jack offered her the best chair in the room, she sat. Gibbs served the two captains then made himself scarce.
"So Captain…I hear interesting things about you" Scarlett says.
Jack grins and replies "I could say the same about you Captain"
Scarlett gives a slight nod "True" she chuckles, it sounds like verbal molasses to Jack. Thick and sweet. He shivers at the sound.
"Actually I'm very interested to know if the pearl is as fast as they say?" she inquired.
"Who is they?" countered Jack.
Another chuckle "Other pirates, the East India trading company bastards…they" she elaborated.
"Oh that they" laughed Jack "Well their right you don't get faster than the pearl" he boasted.
That wicked grin is back and Jack begins to worry what he's gotten himself into this time. Scarlett takes a large mouthful of rum. "So why the interest in the pearl?" he asks.
"Oh, I have a venture I'm planning and I need the fastest ship I can find. Interested?" she replies.
"Tell me more" says Jack the smell of adventure making him listen intently. A knowing grin settles on Captain Savage's face, she has him hooked and she knows it.
