Thank you for the alerts and reviews. I was going to space this out, a week per story, but since I get the feeling several people do not like that, four to six days is what I'm going to pace at.

Unless I don't have access to a computer for a while, in which case, anything goes. I'll try to give advance warning, but sometimes, I don't know.

Jack Harkness had been around since the 1800's. Not many people knew about it. Torchwood knew; The Royal family knew. And quite a few UNIT members knew. Jack found a good person within Lethbridge-Stewart.

Whenever he became attached to someone, they somehow found out. His clothes would have holes from the aliens, weevils or humans that were attacking. Eventually, it would lead to a talk about something he had no idea how to explain. Earlier on, he couldn't tell you why he couldn't die, only that he was looking for someone that had the answers. The Doctor, the one he traveled with.

Even when he was attached with someone, he was cautious. Having kids in his profession was dangerous. Attacks, revenge, sickness. Most of the people he was with were Torchwood, and they understood about the children factor.

There were only two times that Jack had children. Alice ignored him; the twins didn't really know about it until later in life. He only knew about the twins when the sister of their mother had started attacking him for not coming to claim them. That's when he asked about them. He had no idea that she had gotten pregnant; she left him the first month of the pregnancy. The sister told him she had died during the childbirth and the twins, identical boys, had been separated.

The first one he had found easily. Hacking into the adoption agency's records was small time, even on the early internet. Bryce Larkin was adopted by a middle to high class couple. He ended up keeping tabs when there were reports on the husband abusing the wife. He knew how fast it could change for the both of them. He never made an attempt to meet them

The second one was adopted into another middle class family. The father was a possibly corrupt cop; the mother had to take two jobs to keep herself and little Nate afloat. He would send them money to help out, if he didn't think it wouldn't be suspected and tossed out. When she died at fifteen, he was ready to come in and claim custody. However, just before he had contacted case workers, Nate disappeared.

Like Bryce, he connected Neal Caffrey. The details were too close, but they weren't bad considering it was his first time forging something. My younger days. He chuckled as he watched the FBI catching on after the bonds. He told himself he wouldn't help him commit crimes, but he could watch Agent Burke and slightly change his course to keep him away for a bit longer.

He wondered which one he was going to meet first. Neal might come around England, but Wales didn't hold anything that he could really want. Maybe on a trip to the tower he might see him. Bryce he didn't really think he was going to meet. He seemed to be wrapped up in college (Stanford, he noted with a nagging that told him something was wrong, off), hanging out with a best friend (Chuck, whose parents had classified(the CIA were stepping up in encryption but still couldn't handle his skills)files), studying engineering and partying with frats.

Jack should have used realized that Stanford, a friend with classified information and engineering didn't add up right when he saw Bryce was chasing down a terrorist in Cardiff.


Yes, it will be continued soon. 4 to 6 days.
