Jack gasped as he felt air once again entering his lungs and blood once more pumping through his heart. He opened his eyes. Rose and Martha were by each side, Sirius was licking where his wound was. The Doctor was stood by the controls, staring down at him with that piercing stare he does. Frowning.

"Oh my God," Martha stuttered, "You're alive…and the wound…it's gone." It was then that Jack noticed that he had no top on and there was a bloody arrow next to him, Martha saw what he was looking at, "It went through your heart…you died…"

The Doctor walked forwards and placed his hand on Martha's shoulder, softly pulling her away, "Give him some air." He told Martha and pulled her away, Rose helped Jack sit up and then to his feet, once he stood a wave of dizziness hit him and he fell back down, but Rose caught him before he hit the floor.

"You lost a lot of blood." Rose explained as she helped him to the captain's chair. Looking back he saw his own blood sunk into the carpet.

"Woaps. Sorry."

Rose half-heartily smiled, "Don't worry about it." Sirius jumped onto Rose's lap with a whine, she stroked him. Ruffling his fur, his tails began to wag. "You must be hungry; I'll get you some food." Rose picked Sirius up into her arms, "Drink?"

"Water please." Jack replied. She nodded and walked off towards the kitchen.

Jack turned his attention onto the Doctors and Martha's convosation, "He was dead though!" Martha said, in a loud whisper.

"I know…He can't die…at least not for long, he will always come back, it's hard to explain…but just don't worry about it."

"He said he'd human though."

"He is…just a…evolved human."

The Doctor and Martha moved back to Jack, Martha sat down next to him. Jack caught the Doctor's eyes, hoping that the Doctor didn't want to shove him back into Cardiff.

"Although…hopefully, Rose wouldn't let him."

The Doctor smiled, his eyes telling Jack that is was ok.

"That must be so cool not being able to die." Martha said, Jack broke eye contact with the Doctor and looked at Martha, "Not really. It's painful. Well…most of the time…that time when me and Ianto were-"

The Doctor coughed, "We don't need to know Jack."

Rose walked back into the room, with a glass of water in her hand; she passed it to Jack who smiled gratefully. She also had a roll of dark red carpet, to match the rest of it, in her other arm. She put it onto the Doctors laps.

"Better change the carpet then." The Doctor laughed and stood, he walked right up to the carpet where Jack's blood is and bent down to pull it off the floor, slowly.

"I'll do it, it's my blood." Jack standing quickly, but then dizziness hit him and he fell back, "I'll do it in a minute." He said hand on his head, "When I have more blood."

The Doctor laughed, a deep throaty happy laugh, "It's fine Jack. I can do it."

"Thanks." Jack closed his eyes as another wave of dizziness hit him.

Martha and Rose sat down, on either side of Jack.

"So…home now then? Well, when you've done that of course."

The Doctor looked up and turned his head to look at Rose, their eyes caught.

After a few moments the Doctor broke eye contact, and looked at Martha, "How about…one trip to the past," He glanced at Rose to be sure he was right, Rose nodded, pushing him on, "One to the future?"

Martha grinned, looking ecstatic, "I'd love to!"

AN: Sorry it's short.
