Lynn looked at the man sleeping in the back alley, curled around a teddy bear. Clearly he had sailed at some point, given his weather worn skin and sea ready attire. Despite his graying hair and beard, she got the impression that he could hold up well in a fight if need be. However, that did not stop her from questioning Jack's choice of companions.

"Are you sure about this," she asked once more as Jack passed one of the buckets he had brought with him to wake the slumbering man.

"Of course," He gave her a funny look as if she had two heads. "How else would we wake him?"

"No that's not… never mind," she sighed as Jack threw the water onto the man causing him to sputter and curse at them.

"Mr. Gibbs!" Jack yelled ending the tirade of curses from the now wet man.

"Mother's Love! Jack! What are you doing here," Gibbs scrambled to his feet, genuinely happy to see his former captain.

"I find myself in need of your assistance Mr. Gibbs," Jack grinned, shaking the man's hand. " What says you to a voyage on the Sea Hawk?"

"The Sea Hawk? That ship be bad luck Jack! I heard tell that the captain is a devil of a woman, cruel and deadly as the sea! Her whole crew up and disappeared without a trace," Gibbs rambled on not noting the appraising look Jack was giving his female companion, nor the annoyance of said female.

"Can we get on with this," Lynn interrupted the older man before he could get started on another rampage of rumors regarding her beloved ship. " And for the record, Mate, they did not disappear, they just decided to join another ship."

Gibbs stared at her in wide-eyed horror as he realized just who she had to be and what he had just uttered in front of her. "Mother Mary of…"

"All right, enough of that," Jack waved his hands in front of Gibb's face. " She's not as scary as she sounds, mate. Now come with me to the pub for a drink and a chat, aye."

Gibbs followed Jack towards the street to head to the pub, or more accurately Jack pulled Gibbs along with him. " I'm terribly sorry Captain Raven, I'm sure the rumors are all false… and I…"

"Don't worry about it Mr. Gibbs," she sighed waving him off. " There's probably more truth to the rumors than any of us know anyway. Besides truth is all a matter of perspective."

Before Gibbs could even think of a response the three made it into the street where the lamplight gave Gibbs a much clearer look at the two captains before him. Once more his eyes grew incredibly wide. "By the love of the sea," he breathed out in obvious shock.

"Now what," Lynn turned to him slightly irritated, while Jack simply looked at him funny, shrugging at Lynn when he could not discern what had bothered his first mate.

"You look just like Jack! The resemblance… it's uncanny," Gibbs squinted at her in suspicion. "You two aren't related are you?"

"Only so much as by blood," Lynn grinned rakishly, almost mirroring Jack completely, and confusing Gibbs further. "However I'm open to proof to the contrary."

Jack rolled his eyes and grabbed Gibbs by the arm continuing down the road, "Don't listen to her mate, you have no idea what she's saying."

"Right," Gibbs nodded, before frowning, completely lost now. "What?"

Lynn snickered softly as she followed the two men into the pub. Perhaps this little venture could be just the thing she needed to get over 'them'. At the very least it would distract her from her depression.

The three managed to find a fairly secluded table in one of the corners of the Dancing Lady. Lynn procured the rum, while Jack tried to convince Gibbs to help him out.

"We're going after a treasure, mate. One old and vast, yet not quite what it seems. However, in order to get to the treasure I need an item to help find the treasure, savvy," Jack explained.

"Not really," Gibbs nodded. "But I think I have an idea. I just don't know how you manage to pull it off, what with Barbossa still in possession of the Pearl and all."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me," Jack stated dryly, his eyes flashing annoyance. "That is where the Sea Hawk comes in."

"You're captain of the Sea Hawk now?"

"No, he's not," three mugs of rum hit the table hard starling the two elder pirates. "The Sea Hawk is now and always shall be MY ship. However, as I am assisting Captain Sparrow on this venture, and seeing as I am the only one of us with a ship, we shall be sailing the Sea Hawk."

"So… what do you need my help for?"

"We need a crew," Jack explained turning back from making faces at Lynn.

"And what makes you think anyone will sail with you on this venture, which you haven't said much about," Gibbs pointed out.

"Because Mr. Gibbs," Lynn smirked devilishly. "We going after what every pirate wants. Treasure."

"Aye," Jack agreed, a full grin on his face as well. "Something very, VERY shiny. Which if memory serves correct, you yourself have a liking for."

"Aye, tis something every pirate worth their salt wants," Gibbs nodded in agreement. "But how do I know this isn't just another fool's errand?"

"If it is, who better to complete it then Jack," Lynn smiled ignoring Jack's indignant look in her direction.

"Aye that be true, "Gibbs own smile grew missing the indignant look Jack now threw in his direction. "All right, I'll find you a crew, one as daft and crafty as you both!"

"Actually I think I would prefer dumb yet useful if not too much trouble," Lynn added. "It's going to be rough enough with two captains on the bleeding ship, no need to add to the problems."

"Well said," Jack toasted her.

Gibbs laughed at their antics, fully convinced the two were definitely related, though they had yet to state how. "Take what ye can!"

"Give nothing back!" The two captains responded in kinds, sealing the deal with a toast.
