(In the Vortex after Martha see's the death of her father)

After the Doctor got Martha settled and asleep in her room, he headed to the kitchen to talk to the other inhabitant of the TARDIS upon entering the room he looked as Jack stared into his cup of coffee lost in his thoughts.

Taking off his leather jacket he hung it on the back of the chair and went to make some tea once he had his cup in hand, he sat across from the immortal, "Are you going to be okay?" he asked.

Looking up from his cold coffee Jack replied, "I am not sure Doctor, I just saw a woman that I thought incompatible of harming anyone kill in cold blood." Taking a deep breath he asked, "What do you think happened to her?"

"I don't know Jack, I don't have an answer for you. All I know is that sometime in the future she is going to try and destroy Martha's family and I will not let it happen." He stated with conviction.

"So what are you going to do next and how can I help?" Jack asked.

"Are you sure you want to help?"

"Listen Doctor, I don't know what is going on with Rose but I have seen how happy the Doctor from this universe is with Donna. Their family, are my family and don't want to see it change. I love them more than I ever loved Rose they helped me through some very difficult times in my long life."

Sitting back and looking at the immortal he tried to asses if he was telling the truth, deciding that he would have to trust him he spoke, "Martha wants to see her family, I think she wants to make sure they are okay and gain some strength from their presences. But since we are going into the future we will lose track of Rose."

Understanding what the Doctor was requesting he nodded, "So you need me to find out what she is planning."

"Yes," the Doctor confirmed, "But if you don't think you can keep your emotions at bay I will find another way."

Standing Jack brought his cup to the sink then turning back to him he stated, "Listen, Doc from what I have seen tonight you won't have to worry. Once I find out what she is planning how am I going to get a hold of you."

Standing up the Doctor reached into pocket of his leather jacket and pulled out his sonic screwdriver walking over to Jack he gently pulled his arm till the vortex manipulator came into view.

After running his sonic device over it he stated, "I have set your device to locate us whenever you have any information and if we are in the vortex it will send a signal to TARDIS telling us your destination and we will come to you."

Nodding Jacked looked at his device and asked, "I noticed you have the base coordinates set four years from now why."

Walking out of the kitchen grabbing his coat he moved toward the main chamber of the TARDIS with Jack next to him and explained, "From what I understand Donna didn't meet back up with the Doctor till Martha was four years of age. I believe that Rose still thinks that if Donna ever saw her Doctor again she would die, she doesn't understand how her being pregnant will diffuse the Timelord essence inside her."

A bit confused Jack responded, "Yeah, but I still don't understand."

Stopping the Doctor turned and faced the immortal, "Rose will not do anything to Donna unless she sees here as a threat."

"Oh I get, it so you think Rose would have people keeping an eye on Donna and report to her if she comes in contact with the Doctor."

"Yes Jack, what you need to do find out who is watching Donna and then find out where Rose is holding up and then figure out her plan then let me know."

Jack smiled at the Timelord and simply stated, "You know you are brilliant in any universe. But I think I am going to need some help."

"Jack, I am not sure if I want anyone else in on this we are in a delicate situation…"

Interrupting him the immortal stated, "Trust me Doctor she is amazing, she understand more about time and alternate realities better than anyone."

The Doctor looked at him, "Lemme guess she traveled with the Doctor of this universe as well."

Smiling he replied, "Yes, she is my nightingale and always keeps me in line. I also know that she loves Donna and the Doctor very much and will do anything to keep them safe."

"So Captain when should we go and collect this nightingale of yours."

Jack type in some information on his vortex manipulator then showed the coordinates to him "You can find Doctor Martha Jones right here."

Seeing the Timelord's surprise he continued, "Yes, Martha Noble was named after one of our Doctor's previous companions. Now you know why, I told you that she would do anything to keep Donna and the Doctor safe."

Shaking his head at the loyalty that the Doctor from this world ensue he couldn't help but feel a bit jealous at the extent of his adopted family. Once again the Doctor in leather realized that he had been alone to long.

Inside his mind he heard the TARDIS charming, "I think you are right my Doctor we have been alone to long."

Punching the date into the TARDIS the Doctor started the dematerialization sequence once he landed his ship he asked, "Are you going to be okay Captain."

Walking toward the door he replied, "No worries Doc, I will find Martha and then we will find out what Rose is up to. Trust me."

"I have no choice but to trust you." The Doctor replied.

Giving the Timelord a nod he stated, "I also have no choice but to trust you. You better take good care of my niece."

Thinking of the woman sleeping down the hall a soft smile caressed his face, "No worries Captain, I will look after her with all my being."

Smiling knowingly Jack walked out of the TARDIS and thought to himself, 'Martha is going to have an adventure of a lifetime when this is all done and he will miss her dearly.'

After dropping Jack off the Doctor was putting the TARDIS back into the Vortex when he heard a voice behind him.

"Where is Uncle Jack?" Martha asked her voice still laced with tiredness.

Turning he looked at her and noted that even tussled with sleep she was beautiful, "He is going to keep an eye on Rose for us while we go and see your family."

"That is good then we won't lose track of her." Pulling out the letters her father gave her she felt the tears start to emerge in her eyes again, "We should go and deliver these."

Reaching inside the pocket of his leather he pulled out a pen, "Here use this to write on the envelopes the ink will remain hidden till a later date."

Confused she asked, "How is that possible?" as she looked at the non-descript pen.

"The ink inside is made of a chemical that will keep any words hidden for ten years. It was used on Moltrex VII during a war to keep historical documents hidden from those who wanted all accounts of the war to be destroyed."

Smiling she shook her head, "That is really amazing, I would love to see what was written on those documents."

"Maybe you will." Before she could inquire further he declared, "Here we are one day later let us deliver those letters."

Handing them to him, Martha sat on the bench near the console, "I really don't want to go back out there."

Nodding he took the letters from her, "I will be back soon."

As he walked out of the door Martha took out her phone and saw that she had a message. Punching the buttons to retrieve it she smiled as she heard her mum's voice.

Pressing a few more buttons she returned her mum's call,

"Hey mum."

"Hey sweetheart, are you doing okay?"

"Yea I am okay, are you and Dad home yet."

"Almost, you dad was worried something had happened to you so we are heading back we should be there in about two hours."

Martha watched as the TARDIS doors opened and the Doctor walk back in with a questioning nod toward the phone, she mouthed my parents.

"Okay I will meet you at your house for tea. I love you mum."

Then she hung up the phone before her mother could respond looking at the Doctor she inquired "Is it done?"

"Yes, it is and don't worry your mum will find them just fine. Shall we go and see your family?"

Walking up to him she placed a gentle kiss on his cheek, "Yes, let's go see them and thank you for delivering the letters for me."

Bringing his hand to her face his blue eyes focused on hers and she felt her heart skip a couple of beats, "You are very welcome."

Holding on to her waist, wanting to feel her next to him, he brought the TARDIS to Martha's family home.

Doctor Martha Jones was walking to work when she saw Jack standing against a building in front of her smiling she walked up to him and gave him a huge hug.

Embracing her, Jack lifted her into the air as he hugged her when he placed her back on her feet he smiled, "Hello my beautiful nightingale. How are you doing?"

Returning his smile she replied, "I am doing really good Jack, why are you here."

"Getting right down to business are we Martha, maybe I just wanted a kiss from you."

Gently smacking him on his arm she tilted her head, "Now Jack why must you flirt so."

Running his hands through her hair he leaned down and kissed her passionately, "Because you excite me Martha Jones."

Running her hands up his chest she purred, "Well you excite me as well sexy. But you wouldn't show up as I am heading to work unless it is important."

Kissing her neck he whispered, "Oh you know me so well and I do need your help."

Feeling a delightful shiver running up her spine as he nuzzled her neck, sighing she tried to get them back on track, "So handsome what do you need my help with?"

Pulling back his eyes clouded with lust he pushed the lower half of his body against her, "You mean besides this."

Groaning she replied, "Yes, besides that."

Pulling away he tried to control his body, "Well it is a long story can we go somewhere and talk in a less crowded zone."

"Yeah, there is a coffee house just down the road a bit. Do I need to call into work?"

"Yes luv, I think you may want to call into work the Doctor and Donna are in need of our help."

Exasperated she pulled out her phone, "Why didn't you say something earlier…No scratch that I know why."

Chuckling Jack grabbed her hand as she phoned into work, as she hung up they headed to the coffee house.
