The Phoenix leant against the wooden railing of the little hut, looking out over the sand. She smiled when she saw the Doctor's TARDIS appear. The brunette headed down the steps as the doors opened. Jack exited the ship at a rather quick pace, running across the sand. "God I've missed you!" he proclaimed as he hugged her tightly "three days was too long".
"But worth it", the Phoenix said.
Jack smiled "absolutely", he agreed "now, how long do we have?"
"I told Mickey that I'd pick him and Goose up in about a week", the Time Lady replied.
"A week, huh?" Jack remarked, scooping her up, bridal style "Well, we better not waste any time then". She laughed as he raced toward the hut, practically jumping up the three steps and paused outside the threshold.
"What is it?" the Phoenix asked.
"Nothing, I'm just savouring the moment", Jack replied "its been a while since I've done this". He stepped over the threshold and set her down, closing the door to the hut. "So…" he placed his hands on her hips "what do you want to do?"
"I want to kiss you", the brunette replied, doing just that. She pulled back after a moment "Jack, I'd like to try again", she declared.
"Are you sure you're ready, Nix?" Jack asked "cos I'm happy to wait as long as you want".
The Phoenix nodded "I'm ready", she said softly "I want to start our relationship again. What about you?"
"Definitely", Jack replied "more than ready". He kissed her this time, deepening it as he guided her to the nearest wall pressing himself against her.
"So good", the Phoenix murmured, eyes fluttering closed as his lips made their way to her neck.
"I can make you feel good in other ways", Jack offered, his voice humming against her skin, making her shiver.
"Yes, please", the Time Lady said, opening her eyes "and maybe…" she twisted them around so that Jack was against the wall "I can make you feel good too".
The man smirked "is that a promise?" he asked.
"Honey, that's a guarantee", the Phoenix answered and Jack's grin widened. He kissed her for the third time. Without breaking it, Jack lifted her up and carried her over to the counter. He set her down on it, slipping between her legs.
"This is going to be a week to remember", Jack vowed "that I promise".
"It better be", the Phoenix said "now, less talking…" she plucked at his shirt "more doing".
"Yes ma'am", Jack said, proceeding to do just that.
The Phoenix stood waist deep in the cool water, a smile on her face as she thought about the last few days. Jack came up behind and put his arms around her bare waist, settling his hands on her stomach. "What are you thinking about?" he asked, pressing a kiss to her earlobe.
"Just the last few days", the Phoenix replied "it's been nothing short of amazing".
"That it has", Jack agreed. The pair watched the sun start to set, the shifting colours in the sky making the place even more romantic.
"I've heard people say that they have places that are like heaven to them", the Phoenix said after a moment "I think this is mine".
"Mine is wherever you are", Jack told her "again I know that's corny but I…" he broke off when the Phoenix kissed him "ok, shutting up now", he mumbled against her lips.
As the first stars appeared in the sky, the pair curled up in a deckchair close to a small fire that they'd built. Well, Jack was insistent on both building and lighting it but when he had trouble igniting the wood, the Phoenix did it for him with her powers. "Can this be our special place?" Jack asked as he played with her hair.
"Of course it can", the Phoenix replied "in fact I already have it in my name. Nyx Harkness".
"Nyx Harkness?" Jack repeated, feeling his ego boost a bit more at the fact she used his name "really".
"Yeah, I made a up story about the hut and surrounding area being for our honeymoon and then for romantic getaways", the Phoenix explained "that's ok, right?"
"Its more than ok", Jack answered giving her a loving kiss "in fact, I'll show you just how 'ok' I am with it". The Time Lady giggled as he scooped her up, carrying her into the hut.
The next morning, Jack was the first to wake. Usually the Phoenix was already up and about, having not much in the way of sleep so this was a rare occurrence. He reached out, lightly tracing patterns onto her skin. "Mmm that's nice…" the Time Lady hummed, opening her eyes "morning".
"Good morning", Jack greeted back.
"So, what do you wanna do today?" the Phoenix asked, shifting closer to him.
"I was thinking that we could have lazy morning and maybe have a little fun", Jack replied with a suggestive look. The brunette smiled and climbed on top of him.
"You mean this kind of fun?" she questioned, rolling her hips with a teasing grin. Jack just smirked, placing his hands on her hips.
"This is the best kind", he replied. He pulled her down for a kiss when they both heard a tap at the window. "Did you hear that?" he asked.
"Yeah", the Phoenix answered. She got off him, ignoring his noise of complaint as she walked to the window. She pulled the curtain back a little to see an amulet hovering outside the window. It was the twin to the one she'd given to Bobby in case he ever needed to get in touch with her. "Looks like our fun is put on pause for a bit", she remarked as she used her powers to draw the amulet inside without opening the window.
"Aw…can't it wait?" Jack complained with a pout "I have a little something that needs your attention first". He gestured to his duvet covered lower region.
"Yeah, it can wait. Its only the Winchester boys needing my help…again", the Phoenix said, dropping the amulet onto the carpet. She headed back to the bed, sliding under the covers.
"Bobby, those boys better be in serious danger and I mean apocalyptic danger cos you just spoiled a very nice week I was having", the Phoenix groused as she walked into his house, followed by Jack "mostly sleeping with this sexy guy", she gestured to him. The American felt his ego get another boost from her compliment.
"Sorry, didn't mean to disturb you but I got another of those notes", Bobby explained, holding the paper out to her. Jack moved closer to the Phoenix, placing a hand in the small of her back, peering at the page.
"I don't understand it", he stated "I thought the TARDIS would translate everything".
"With a few exceptions, including my language", the Phoenix told him "I did tell you this before, remember?"
"Oh, I must've forgotten on the account of the incredibly beautiful Time Lady next to me", Jack said, kissing her temple "so, what does it say? Is it about them Winchester boys?"
"Unfortunately yes", the Phoenix answered with a sigh "looks like I'm heading to Indiana to deal with a…" she frowned "does that say fugly scarecrow?" she questioned "yeah it does!" she laughed "that is so weird".
"Looks like we're going to Indiana", Jack said.
"Yep", the Phoenix said, tucking the note away.
"Good luck you two!" Bobby called after them as they left "not like they'll need it".
"So this is what you do? Show up and save these guys?" Jack asked as they walked through the orchard, the Time Lady holding her bow at the ready.
"Sometimes", the Phoenix answered "this would be the third time I've had to do it. Hope it doesn't become a habit".
"Would it be…" Jack trailed off when they heard
"Oh! I take everything back I said. I'm so happy to see you"
"That's Dean. Come on!" the Phoenix said, taking off toward the voice. Jack chased after her. The came across the Winchesters and a frightened young woman. Well, came across isn't quite right…running into was more like it.
"Nix, did you see a scarecrow?" Sam asked.
"Uh no", the Time Lady replied.
"That's why we are here, looking for a scarecrow", Jack added.
"Who the hell are you?" Dean demanded.
"This is my boyfriend Jack Harkness", the Phoenix answered.
"Uh…do you think we could go?" Emily spoke up "cos I really wanna go".
"Yeah, Emily. We're going", Dean said. He grabbed her hand and pushed past the Phoenix and Jack. The two time travellers and Sam were quick to follow them. When the four of them reached a clearing, several humans were waiting for them.
"Back up all of you!" the Phoenix ordered stepping in front of the humans, pointing her weapon at the others.
"You can't kill all of us, little girl", Harley said "not before we get you".
The Phoenix slowly lowered the bow, noticing something in the background "I don't need to kill anyone. But I don't need to save you either", she said "guys get in close, now", she ordered to the brothers, her lover and Emily. They were quick to do so and she erected a fire barrier. And just in time too as the scarecrow made itself known. It didn't stay long, only needing two of the people as sacrifices. Once it was gone, the rest of the people scarpered.
The Phoenix dissipated the barrier. "That was it?" Jack asked, a tad disappointed. He had hope for a little more of a fight especially since it had interrupted their lovely week in Paradise. "We left Hawaii for this?"
"Yeah, we did", the Time Lady replied. She turned to the Winchesters and Emily "you guys ok?"
"Fine but how did you do…" Emily mimed the action that the Phoenix had done to make the fire barrier "that?"
"Magic", the brunette answered "and speaking of… Jack we better get back if we want to carry on making our own magic".
Jack smirked, knowing what she meant "absolutely", he agreed. He took her hand and they walked off, leaving the others behind. "Still wished I could've seen you kick some ass", he mumbled.
"I'm sure you will soon", the Phoenix assured him.
"Hope so", Jack said winding his arm around her waist.
