So sorry about the lack of updates! I've been in a brain slump plus school starting.
By the way, I'm writing a Doctor Who/Captain America story. So when I publish it, I hope some of you guys will check it out!
Disclaimer: I've written too many of these. I do not.
Rachel squinted, her eyes trying to adjust to the light. She put a hand to block out the light, trying to see the person who had gotten the door open. Obviously, the Doctor recognized them. "Doctor? Who is that?"
The Time Lord wasn't listening to his companion. He was struggling to his feet, brushing dirt off himself. "Jack? Is that you?"
"New companion, then? Pretty."
"Oho, it is!" The Doctor hugged the other man quickly. He went over to Rachel, grabbing her hand and pulling her up. "Come on, you."
Rachel made a tiny protest, blinking. Her eyes were finally working, and she was able to see the man better. He was attractive, that was for sure. He was definitely older than her as well. The man's brown hair was mussed, and he looked tired. He wore a long coat, she noticed. Yes, definitely attractive.
"Alright." The Doctor beamed at the two. "Companion, meet former companion. Former companion, meet the new companion." Rachel shot him a look. "What?"
Jack grinned, stepping past the Doctor to stand in front of Rachel. "Captain Jack Harkness." He stuck his hand out. "And you are?"
The Doctor's eyes widened. "Stop it!"
"What?" Jack smiled flirtatiously at the younger girl. "I was just… saying hello."
"We all know what happens with your 'hellos,' Jack!"
"Doctor!" Rachel put a hand in front of the Time Lord's face. He pouted a bit, glaring at his two friends. "It's perfectly fine." She shook Jack's hand, smiling coyly. "Rachel Berry, and it's a pleasure to meet you, Captain." She was slightly thankful she hadn't gotten too roughed up earlier.
Jack snorted a bit. "Please, call me Jack, Miss Berry."
"Then call me Rachel." Rachel grinned brightly, ignoring the disgusted look on the Doctor's face. "Now, are we going to get out of here, or what?"
The Doctor shoved Rachel's hand away. "Come on, you two." He walked out of the cell, Jack and Rachel following behind him. He could hear them giggling and flirting. "Oi, flirting can wait until we get back to the TARDIS, okay?"
"Who said we were flirting?" Rachel rolled her eyes. "We're simply getting to know each other, that's all." She skipped up to the Doctor and took his hand. "Why are you so meh right now?"
"You really don't want to know."
Jack caught up to them, throwing his arm around the Doctor's shoulders. "So what are you two up to now? Causing endless destruction then saving it at the last possible moment?"
"Yes." Rachel made a face at the Doctor, who smacked her arm lightly. "What was that for?"
"No, we have not. Trouble just… likes to find us."

"Quinn, are you sure?" Will Shuester looked at his student concernedly. It had been lunch, and he was off to go find Emma. Quinn intercepted him outside the teacher's lounge and told him she knew some information about Rachel. "That's a very… odd thing."
"I'm sure, Mr. Shue, and Finn saw it too. And I'm pretty sure Santana and Kurt and Blaine and Brittany knew as well, but they're close to Rachel. They wouldn't tell." She thought for a second. "Or they won't."
"Quinn…"
"I told you what I know. You have your choice. Use it or don't." She stood up frostily, grabbing her bag. "I have class. See you later, Mr. Shue." She turned sharply, flouncing out into the hallway of crowded people that parted for her.
Will sighed and picked up his phone. "Hello, Lima Police? I was told some information on Miss Berry's whereabouts…"

"So, add escaping another planet intact to my list." Rachel lounged in one of the seats in the library, staring at the rippling water. "And why is there a swimming pool in the library?"
"I don't really know." The Doctor ate another chip. "Always been there."
"Have you ever actually swum in there, Doc?" Jack sat next to Rachel, messing with her hair. She grumbled and pushed him away, earning a loud snort from the Doctor. "What?"
"You two are flirting and I find it awkward. And yes, I have."
"We are not! And I want to swim." Rachel made a face at the Doctor, getting up. "I'm going to go change." She winked at the two men, then flounced off, disappearing rather quickly.
It was silent for a few minutes. Jack turned back to the door, then to the Doctor. "She's cute."
"JACK!"
"What?"
"She's barely eighteen."
"And your point is, Doctor? She's interesting." Jack shrugged quickly. "She's pretty smart too."
"Yes, yes she is." The Doctor smirked. "I wouldn't have asked her to be my companion for nothing, Jack."
"You like her."
"Do not. She's a good friend though." The Doctor smiled fondly.
"Talking about me, are you?" Rachel's voice carried and both men turned to look at her as she waltzed back in, her hair tied into a low ponytail. She had a strapless dress over her two piece, and carried a black and white towel. "I don't know if I can trust you two yet!"
"You can trust us." Jack winked at her as she pulled the dress off and stepped to the edge of the pool, whooping as she jumped in.
"Oh, it feels so good in here… Come in with me!" Rachel swum back to the edge and smiled at the two. "Please?"
Jack glanced at the Doctor, back to Rachel, then at the Doctor. "Sure. Why not?"
Not sure who I plan on pairing everybody with yet. I'm actually starting to consider RachelxJack after this chapter. They're just a cute couple in my head. CRACK. I dunno, what do you think?
Reviews are love, sweetie.
