CHECK OUT WINGEDSLAYER'S BUFFY TURNER. SHE ROCKS!

PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
Buffy stood on the deck with Jack at first just watching their backs but Jack had done a good sabotaging the ship. Jack was shocked at how well Buffy took to the ship.


"When I was a lass living in England, my mother raised me by herself. After she died, I came out here, looking for my father. I had to work off my passage as a cabin boy. The captain was the only one who knew that I wasn't really a girl."

"Is that so?" Jack replied slyly.

"My father, Ben Summers." Buffy followed Jack up to the helm. "It was only after you learnt my name you agreed to help. Since that's what I wanted, I didn't press the matter. I'm not a simpleton, Jack. You knew my father." Jack looked like he was debating on whether to tell her or lie to her. "Remember the cell door."

"Well when you put it that way. I knew him." Jack said facing her. "Probably one of the few who knew him as Benjamin Summers. Everyone else called him Bootstrap or Bootstrap Ben." Jack walked toward the helm. Buffy followed.

"Bootstrap?"

"Good man. Good pirate. I swear you look just like him."

"It's not true. He was a merchant sailor. A good respectable man who obeyed the law."

"He was a bloody pirate. A scallywag."

"My father was not a pirate." Buffy said not wanting to believe this man. Jack turned slightly to look at her.

"You asked and I told you what I know. You can accept that your father was a pirate and a good man or you can't. Pirate is in your blood girl, so you'll have to square with that someday. Now the question is can you sail under the command of a pirate?"

"I wouldn't have broken you out if I couldn't. So where are we headed?"

"Tortuga." Jack said with a smile.


They arrived at Tortuga late that night. Buffy gave herself the once over to make sure nothing was showing. They took a rowboat to shore. The town of Tortuga was a violent town because most of the people in it have been drinking since they woke up. There were fights all around, people shooting off weapons, and men falling or throwing others over railings. Buffy had never seen anything like it as she walked with Jack.

"More importantly, it is indeed a sad life that has breathed deep this sweet bouquet that it Tortuga, savvy? What do you think?"

"It'll linger." She said with a smile.

"I'll tell you lass, if every town in the world were like this one, no man would ever feel unwanted."

"That doesn't say much about the women." Buffy said. She noticed a woman with dark red hair with a red dress approach them.

"Scarlett!" Jack calls out right before the woman smacks hard across the face and then walks off.

"Not sure I deserve that." Two seconds later a blonde-haired woman in a white dress approaches.

"Giselle!"

"Who was she?"

"What?" Jack replies right before she slaps him. Buffy is standing there fighting to hold back her laughter.

"I may have deserved that. Come on." Jack leads Buffy quickly to a barn where a man is sleeping with a three pigs. They each pick up a bucket of water. Jack throws his first. The man sputters awake.

"Curse you for breathing, you slack-jawed idiot!" The man curses while holding his knife. "Mother's love! Jack! You should know better than to wake a man when he's sleeping. It's bad luck."

"Ah, fortunately, I know how to counter it. The man who did the waking buys the man who was sleeping a drink." Jack moves closer and kneels. "The man who was sleeping drinks while listening to a proposition from the man who did the waking"

The pirate Gibbs seemed to think on that for a moment before smiling.

"Aye, that'll about do it."

Jack helps him to stand and backs up as Buffy threw the second bucket of water.

"Blast! I'm already awake!"

"That was for the smell." Buffy and Jack share a look. "Who am I kidding? I just really wanted to do that."

Buffy said with a smile.


Inside the bar Buffy stood out of the way as the majority of the patrons were fighting with one another. She saw Jack coming with two drinks.

"Keep a sharp eye."

"Why expecting another one of your lady friends to hit you again tonight?"

Jack just rolled his eyes and continued to the table. Even through all the noise Buffy's super sensitive hearing heard every word Jack spoke.

"Now, what's the nature of this venture of yours?" Gibbs asked.

"I'm going after the Black Pearl." Gibbs began to choke. "I know where it's going to be, and I'm gonna take it."

"Jack, it's a fool's errand. You know better than me the tales of the Black Pearl."

"That's why I know what Barbossa is up to. All I need is the crew."

"From what I hear of Captain Barbossa, he's not a man to suffer fools, nor strike a bargain with one."

"Then, I'd say it's a good thing I'm not a fool then eh."

At that Buffy a made Pfft noise, but no one had heard her. Buffy found that last statement debatable, but she wondered if she was a bigger fool for going along with him.

"Prove me wrong. What makes you think Barbossa will give up his ship to you?" Gibbs asked.

"Let's just say it's a matter of leverage."

At that, Buffy turned her head slightly and then returned it to normal. Jack nodded toward Buffy. Gibbs was not getting what he meant. Jack nodded again and they both looked toward Buffy who was getting bumped around by a rather large gapped tooth lady.

"The kid?" Gibbs asked.

"That is the child of Bootstrap Ben Summers. His only child, savvy?"

At this point Buffy had stopped listening as her senses told her trouble had entered the room. Spotting a rather pale looking man who had just entered she made her way over to him. Taking off her hat she quickly tossed it toward Jack before unbuttoning a few of her shirt buttons. She sauntered over to the man.

"Ohh! Aren't you just the handsomest thing? I'm new here, and I could use a big strong man like you to show me the town. Maybe some place quiet where we can you know…"

Buffy began whispering in his ear. The man's eye grew big as he grabbed Buffy around the waist and lifted her off feet and threw her over his shoulder.


Buffy had told the vamp that she would like to make out with him and his friends if he had some. When he had finally put her down, they were in an abandon barn. Buffy senses told her where each vampire was. Several of them began to advance on her. Buffy reached into her boot grabbed the stake that was hidden there.

"Who wants to dance?" She asked.

"Slayer!"

"That's my name." Buffy said as she began fighting them.

These vamps were amateurs. She kicked out at one while stabbing another. Soon she had dusted them all. The doors to barn were quickly thrown open to reveal Jack and a Gibbs.

"You brought my hat thanks." Buffy said taking her hat and replacing it on her head before walking out. Jack ran to catch up with her.

"What happened in their luv?"

"Well Jack, you said it yourself. If every town in the world were like this one, no man would ever feel unwanted. Apparently that applies to the women too." Buffy said as she buttoned her shirt and adjusted her trousers. "It was a real quickie to about seven of them almost at the same time."

Buffy turned to look at their faces and she burst out laughing. Both had wide eyes and slacked open mouths. She finally took pity on them.

"I staked some vampires that came into the tavern. I'm going to check out the rest of the town. Meet back at the tavern in a few."

That was all she said before quickly moving through the crowded streets on patrol for more vamps. She would give their minds a chance to think on what she had just told them.
