"Lower the anchor!" Barbossa shouted from the wheel of the Black Pearl. "Raise the sails!"
Jack watched from just outside his cabin. The crew spun the spoked wheel that lowered the anchor and then began climbing up into the rigging to tie up the sails. Elizabeth and Will stood together, ready to go to land. The anchor got caught on something just before the ship crashed into land.
Jack was the first one off the ship, almost happy to be in Shipwreck Cove. He waited for everyone else to get off too. He spotted a group of other pirates coming towards them. As they got closer, he was able to make out a few of them, including the Keeper of the Code himself. The group approached them, stopping just feet away.
"Greetins' Captain Teague." Barbossa acknowledged with a cocky smile.
"Captain Barbossa." Edward Teague nodded in greeting. "Glad ye've made it."
"Glad to be back 'ere in this place." Jack said to himself, only to get the attention of everyone. "What are ye lookin' at?"
"'Ello, Jackie." Teague smiled warmly.
"Hullo, Dad." He responded, with a small smile. "Good to see ye."
A few of the pirates, including WIll and Elizabeth, looked surprised. Apparently they've never wondered about his family, much less tried to guess who his father was.
Teague gestured to his men. "They'll watch the Black Pearl for ye lot. Get comfy. I'll be seein' ye all tomorrow in the meeting."
His men boarded the Pearl, taking positions here and there. Jack knew he could trust them because his dad would never try to steal his ship. He walked over to him, staying by his side as they headed for Shipwreck City.
"Been awhile, Jackie." Teague put an hand on his shoulder. "How things been goin'?"
"Quite horribly, actually." Jack admitted. "At least the bloody beast is dead."
"Which beast?" He glanced at him.
He gave him a long look before replying. "The Kraken."
"Ye've seen it?"
"Been attacked by it actually."
"How's ye're ship still in one piece then?" Teague raised a curious eyebrow.
Jack looked away, sighing. "Davy Jones' Locker, that's why."
The older pirate looked a little worried now. "What happened, Jackie?"
"It's a long story, Dad…" He told him. "I prefer not to talk about it anyway."
"The captain always goes down with the ship. If the Pearl was in the Locker then…" Teague added all the pieces together. "...the Kraken killed ye, didn't it?"
Jack didn't respond, but gazed off distantly.
"The Locker's changed ye a lot, Jackie."
"I know." He responded tonelessly. "Everyone's been sayin' that."
They stopped walking and Teague grabbed Jack's shoulder, turning the younger man to face him. "I need to know what happened, Jackie. Tell me."
"Everything?" He asked.
"Everything."
