okay, here's the next chapter. This one is set after 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' and is set to 'You're So Vain.'

This chapter, and most likely the rest of the fic, is for Tigerdust who has helped me so much for this fic, I hope you like this chapter and the one's to come!!

When Jack saw John again he felt as if he had been winded. It had been more then 200 years since he had last seen the man, but he couldn't deny the immediate physical attraction that still remained between them both.

He recalled the first time they had met; they had both been assigned to 'trailing' some rich business man that the Time agency believed was harbouring some kind of dangerous technology.

You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot

He remembered the way John has sauntered into the room as though he owned the place, wearing that pointless scarf that Jack only remembered because he'd enjoyed tearing it off him later that night…


You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched as yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed
They'd be your partner

Even in places that they had never been before, John would automatically draw everyone's attention; women, men, aliens… Jack liked to think that he has learnt from the best, and John was certainly the best.

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Jack knew he was vain, but he was nothing on John. Jack cared about his appearance, yes, but John had to be the centre of everybody's attention, and if he had to commit crime to be so, he would.


You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave

Jack had only just joined the Time Agency when they had met, the first one the Boeshane Peninsular to be signed up, and how proud he'd felt of this fact. Pride that had soon been shot down, however, by older, more experienced Agents, John, for example, although John had not hurt him by putting him in his place at work, oh no. It was an entirely different type of pain that Jack felt towards Captain John Hart.

But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me

Jack had known that John Hart had a reputation as a playboy, a 'love 'em and leave 'em' type of guy but he had still hoped that they were different… that he was different from the rest.


I had some dreams
They were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee

And then they were trapped in the time loop together… completely accidental of course. After all, how was Jack supposed to have known that that particular lever was behind him when John had pressed him against the wall of the ship and, even if he had known, how was he supposed to tell John of that fact when his tongue was other wise occupied?

But then… they escaped and… John left… left him, left the Agency… and all of Jack's dreams were broken.

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun

Sometimes he would hear something from John, about John. Weather it was from John himself – visiting the city and just wanting a one night stand – or rumours from other Agents who had been travelling and bumped into him.

Well, you're where you should be all of the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend

Of course, it would be John who decided to have an affair with the General's wife, get himself done for treason and have himself banished. Jack thought that that would be the last time he would see John. The older man still dressed in the Time Agency uniform, still holding himself like he owned the court-room even if he was being lead away, banished from the Grachiate Solar System.

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

He couldn't believe that John had the guts to do everything that he had done, to both Jack and the Time Agency – no matter how much he hated the place – and still come back here and claim that he loved him. But that was John all over, expecting everything to revolve around him, even if it had been over 200 years since Jack had last seen him…

Well, Captain John Hart, if you dare return to Cardiff again, you'll have one angry ex-Time Agent/Con-man to deal with. Not to mention said ex-Time Agent/Con-man's team.

Well, there we go, I hope you like it and please review, they keep me motivated!! XD
