Doctor Who and Torchwood STILL DO NOT belong to me. If they did Ianto wouldn't be dead and we'd still have the 10th Doctor.

Chapter 2: Jack's Back
Theta froze.
"Doctor!" the two Time Lords heard again.
That voice... Theta knew that voice... But he hadn't heard that voice since the Daleks invaded Satellite 5. It couldn't be...
"Doctor! Open the door!" the voice called.
"Theta... Who's that?" Koschei asked. He could tell by the look in Theta's eyes that he knew who was knocking on the door.
"It's...Jack...Captain Jack Harkness..."
Theta slowly slid off Koschei and helped him off the bed. The two walked hand in hand to the door of the TARDIS. Theta took a deep breath before opening the door.
"Hello Jack..."
"Doctor!" Jack exclaimed as he embraced the Doctor. "I've been waiting for you for such a long time!"
"It's nice to see you Jack..." the Doctor said as he hugged Jack with his one free arm.
"Who's that?" asked Jack as he let the Doctor go and stepped into the TARDIS. He hadn't noticed the blonde man holding the Doctor's hand until then. The man resembled Harold Saxon, but Jack had watched him die on Satellite 5, fighting the Daleks.
"I'm the Master," the blonde answered. "I'm a Time Lord, like the Doctor."
"Doctor? I thought the only other Time Lord was Harold Saxon?" Jack questioned and looked at the Doctor curiously.
"well... Technically he is Harold Saxon... but blonde... Due to the way he came back to life... Damn Gallifreyan witchcraft!"
"So... You're gonna imprison him, right?" Jack asked curiously.
"Not exactly..." the Doctor answered awkwardly. He couldn't tell Jack that he was in love with the Master... Well... He could, but it would destroy Jack's emotions.
"Meaning?" Jack inquired, confused by the Doctor's words.
"Doesn't matter," the Doctor said quickly, not wanting to have to tell Jack the truth. "We were actually just about to leave..."
"Oh! Perfect! I'll come with you! Maybe you and I could catch up a bit Doctor," Jack said with a flirtatious wink. He wanted the Doctor to be his again... Ianto was attractive and what not, but he was just a second choice, a back-up, and Ianto had no idea how Jack felt about him. The Doctor could live forever with him, but Ianto was a normal human, he wouldn't live forever.
"No Jack... We can't start anything up again..." the Doctor said, knowing that Jack wanted to start a relationship with him again. "I have someone else..."
Jack froze. He was in complete shock. The Doctor was supposed to be his! He would destroy whoever had taken his Doctor away from him!
"What?! Who?!"
"Me," the Master stated arrogantly. He really didn't need this Jack guy taking his Theta away from him. He never wanted to lose his perfect Time Lord ever again.
"What. The. Fuck? Doctor fucking tell me he's joking!" Jack shouted furiously.
"He's not joking... But I think you should go..."
"I think you should know that I am a part of Torchwood, the government organization designed to capture you! I should take both of you back to the base with me and have Ianto lock you up and feed the little blonde to the weevil!" Jack was enraged. Jack was so loyal to the Doctor and now he learns that this traitor was the one the Doctor wanted... it made him so infuriated.
"Jack calm down," the Doctor said. "If you don't and try to hurt the Master I will do anything to stop you, even if I have to kill you."
"Fucking try it Doctor! Shoot me, stab me, electrocute me, none of it will matter! I'll just come back to life! Ever since that Dalek killed me and I came back to life, I haven't been able to die!"
"Wait, how?" the Doctor asked curiously.
"I don't know! I was going to ask you!"
"Well... Rose looked into the heart of the TARDIS when I sent her back to her mother... She wanted to save me, to help me defeat the Daleks... And so she had the power to turn every Dalek in Satellite 5 and the entire armada to dust... She also said she could bring life... So I suppose she brought you back to life and now you can never die... Fascinating... But I could be wrong, I don't even know what the power of the TARDIS can do..."
"Well now that that's sorted out..." Jack said slowly. He launched himself at the Master and punched him as hard as he could. The Master fell to the floor and before Jack could take another shot at him, the Doctor grabbed him and pulled him away.
"You need to leave!" He said sternly. "Torchwood needs you. Ianto needs you. Go love him, and forget me!"
"I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL YOUR GOD DAMN BOYFRIEND! YOU'RE MINE DOCTOR!" Jack yelled ferociously. He was so pissed off.
"Jack, you have to go," the Doctor muttered. "I'm sorry to break this to you, but you don't even know my real name... The Master does. You need to leave..I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
He began to drag Jack out of the TARDIS.
"But I love you Doctor," Jack cried. He needed the Doctor. He could feel it.
The Doctor just kept moving Jack out of the TARDIS door. Once he got him outside, he told him, "You need to forget me Jack Harkness... Go love Ianto."
Jack didn't think before shoving his lips against the Doctor's desperately. The Doctor pushed Jack away and stepped back towards the TARDIS.
"Goodbye Jack."
The Doctor walked backwards into the TARDIS, making sure Jack couldn't follow him in, then closed the door. He ran over to where Koschei laid on the floor of the TARDIS and sat down right next to him. Jack had managed to give him a nicely sized cut on the side of his face.
"Are you okay Koschei?" Theta whispered softly as he held him up slightly.
"I'll be fine," Koschei grumbled. "Thank you for helping me."
"I love you Koschei, what else could I do? Sit there and watch him kill you?"
"You've got a point... but still, thank you Theta..." Koschei tried to sit up on his own and fell helplessly into Theta's lap.
"Here," Theta said as he slowly slid out from under Koschei's head and shoulders. "I'll carry you to your room."
Theta picked up Koschei carefully and carried him into his bedroom. He drew back the covers and laid him on to the bed. He pulled the covers over half of Koschei's body before he spoke.
"I'm going to take you to a friend of mine so she can check for a concussion."
"Alright Theta," Koschei replied.
"Try to not fall asleep..."
"M'kay..." he said weakly.
Theta ran out to the controls of the TARDIS and picked up the phone to call Martha Jones, the only person he knew could help him without wanting to experiment on Koschei...
He got off the phone with Martha a few minutes later and set the coordinates she had given him. He started up the TARDIS and it slowly disappeared.
