A nice fluffy beginning.

Jack and the Doctor were sitting in the kitchen enjoying a cup of tea and a banana cream pie when Martha poked her head in.

"I'm going home for the evening." She announced. "But before I leave I would like to talk to you Jack."

"Shoot." Jack replied.

"In private."

"Jack's in trouble." The Doctor sang before chuckling as Jack stood up. Jack stuck his tongue out at the Doctor as he walked out of the kitchen and followed Martha into the conference room.

"I am telling you this as a friend Jack," Martha said slowly and Jack nodded as he leaned against the table. "He's still the Doctor."

"I know he is still the Doctor," Jack replied sounding confused.

"I don't think you do. You look at him and see everything that he has lost and don't see what he has gained back. I meant what I said when he first arrived, the fact he is alive is a miracle."

"But he needs so much help, when he use to be so independent. It's hard sometimes Martha."

"I know and he may stay like this or he may get better, only time will tell, but you dwelling on how he use to be, doesn't help him now. Be happy with what he has accomplished in such a short time."

"I am happy."

"You don't sound happy." Martha responded and sat on the table next to him and Jack leaned his head on her shoulder.

"It's just been a long day." He sounded sad still but Martha didn't comment further. They sat quietly for a few minutes before Martha headed home and Jack continued with his normal routine of curling up on the couch to watch a movie with the Doctor. He was busy day dreaming when a quick peck to his cheek distracted him. He looked at the Doctor out of the corner of his eye and saw him leaning again towards Jack. Jack turned his head slightly as the Doctor leaned forward and this time the Doctor kissed him quickly on the lips before pulling away.

He stared at Jack apprehensively for a moment and then leaned forward and gently pressed his lips to Jacks. Jack very slowly kissed him back and then opened his mouth slightly to deepen the kiss. The Doctor responded with a soft moan, and lifted his hand to stroke Jack's hair. Jack ran his hand down his back and rested it on the Doctor's lower back pulling him closer. They kissed for a long moment before the Doctor finally broke the kiss and rested his head on Jack's chest.

Jack sat there just content to hold the Doctor and feel his arms wrapped around him. Martha was right and he had spent too long dwelling on who the Doctor use to be. As the Doctor started to fall asleep, Jack picked him up and carried him to bed.

Almost a day had passed before Sky broke and started to scream. "I'll tell you anything, just please let me out." But it was another hour after that before Jack entered the morgue again.

"I'm listening." He said loudly as she paused for a breath.

"Please just let me out."

"Tell me what I want to hear and I'll consider it." He replied.

"Please," She cried.

"I could just leave again. Give you another couple hours to think. In fact I am going to do that." Jack left. When he returned after another hour he could hear her sobbing.

"Ready to talk now."

"I really was just a receptionist." She began.

"I doubt that." Jack said getting a chair and sitting down.

"We worked in teams of three, there were two scientist and me. One scientist would test drugs on memory loss or diseases and sometimes pain inducing drugs. The second one was there to cause pain and then there was my job. We would go in as they started to lose their minds. I was the friendly face after all the pain that they could talk to and who was just trying to help." She admitted.

"So you were there to gather information." Jack asked.

"Yes, I was sent in after two weeks to begin to collect information. We knew all about the Doctor, he's a legend in my time. We wanted to know about the Time Lords and the technology behind the Tardis, but he refused to say, even at his weakest all he did was talk about his companions. Finally I was sent in to fake a rescue and get access to his ship and hopefully he would take me to where there were others. Charles wasn't made aware before hand, so he really attacked me as I tried to leave with the Doctor. But then when the ship wouldn't leave, I stepped off to get help and he left without me."

"I bet that got you in trouble."

"I was given a second chance. I was to come here, give you whatever information you wanted about Charles or anyone who worked for the base and then have you take me to the Doctor and bring him back. I was surprised to find the Doctor was all ready here and so I followed the plans and first opportunity I got, tried to leave. Charles ruined everything, if he had just left when I wanted to we could have got back to the base. He never was good at following orders."

"The base was gone, when I got there. There was no one left to go back to."

"It moved all the time, eight months ago, I could have tracked them. Since then, I have no idea where the base has moved to. Now I have told you everything I know. Please let me out."

"Charles, was he ordered to rape the Doctor?"

"No, Charles did that for his own amusement. I didn't know the Doctor had Charles as his abuser until he told me he was raped. Charles was the only one who would. They only used him on tough to crack individuals like the Doctor."

"I see." Jack stood up and folded the chair. "Let me think about what you've told me." He started to leave the room.

"You said you would let me out."

"I said I would consider it." Jack retaliated. "And I don't know if I want to open that. I mean by now it probably stinks of sweat, urine and blood. I really don't want to smell that."

"Please," She whimpered.

"Tell me, and I want the truth, did you ever show mercy to the Doctor."

"I gave him water and pieces of food." she replied.

"Which were drugged. It took us forever to get him to eat properly with out fear of the food and water offered."

"I didn't know."

"I think you did."

"I swear to you I didn't."

"I just don't believe you." Jack said. "Now give me a few hours to think and I will see about letting you out and maybe even let Martha check your leg before you lose your other leg too." He left her as she sobbed.

Ianto was standing outside the morgue door when Jack stepped out. "Satisfied," Ianto asked him.

"No," Jack replied. "Why her?"

"She makes me happy." Ianto shrugged, "After Lisa and then you, I just want to be happy."

"Once she is healed, I never want her to step foot in this building again." Jack said. "Martha can tend to her leg. The bullet only grazed it so she shouldn't lose it. Her arm might be broke though."

"Jack," Ianto sounded surprised.

"Her fault, she should have just let me put her in the drawer."
