Jack moved over to the empty chair between Elizabeth and Barbossa.

"Here's the plan…"

The room was quiet as the three occupants waited for Jack to continue with his plan. Barbossa, Will, and Elizabeth could see the spark back in Jacks eyes as he thought about what to say.

"You had a change of heart I see." Barbossa said.

"I had…a revelation, you could say." Jack answered

"And what would that be?" Barbossa prompted.

Jack smirked at the three eager gazes. "I died." He said simply.

"Jack, I wouldn't call that a revelation." Will said slowly

"It's more of a fact." Barbossa said. "Now, is that what you came to tell us? We could have told you that before when…"

"I died." Jack said once more. "I made a deal with Jones for a set amount of time or until I walked into the light." Jack stopped. "Whoever said anything about a white light at death must have died differently because there really isn't a white light. It's really more…black and…"

"Cold?" Barbossa offered

"Yes, more cold and quiet, but that is beside the point." Jack finished quickly. "The point is that I died and now the debt is void."

Everyone was quiet for a moment as they put together what Jack said.

"So what do you plan to do?" Elizabeth asked.

"Well I plan to make a deal with Jones that he will not be able to turn down." Jack stood up and started to walk around the table. He looked like he was telling a story with his exaggerated movements. "He wants his lovely heart back. I doubt he really wants to be under control of that awful, awful Beckett. So…I will hand over his heart for a few things." Jack finished as he sat back down. "What do you think?"

"Jack…" Elizabeth began. "We don't have the heart."

"That pokes a few holes in your plan, Captain."

Jack stared at him. "Well I'm glad you see me as captain, Mr. Barbossa."

"I will not sail under your command. This is my ship."

"You're not the one who knows what needs to be done." Jack shot back

"I sailed to the ends of the earth for you." Barbossa stood. "I think I can handle whatever is thrown this way."

Jack stood also. "If that were true, you would not have had to sail to world's end for me." Jack waited for an answer. "I'm captian."

"Like hell you are."

"I…" Jack began

"You will not sail…" Barbossa started.

Both of the pirates began arguing about who is captain. Will and Elizabeth looked at each other and then back to the two most, supposedly, feared captain in the Caribbean. They both tried to get a word in, but their voices couldn't break the louder voices of the fighting pirates. That is until Will yelled, "Children!"

Jack and Barbossa quickly stopped and both their heads snapped to face the young Turner. Will wasn't prepared for that to actually work. "Uh…um…can you to put your differences aside until this is all over?"

"It would be helpful." Elizabeth added. "You could…captain together." She offered. "Co-captains"

"Co-captains…you want us to co-captain." Barbossa asked slowly

"There is no such thing as co-captains." Jack said like the word was foreign. "It is unheard of."

Elizabeth was noticeable getting frustrating. "Well, you two better figure…"

Will decided to end it now and simply said. "Jack, we don't have the heart. How are we going bargain with Jones if Beckett has the heart?"

"Why thank you for asking, Mr. Turner." Jack said. "It's really quite simple."

"And it is…" Barbossa said tiredly

"Who, my friends, hates Beckett as much as I?"

Nobody knew. "Us" Will said hesitantly

"Gibbs?" Elizabeth added

Barbossa rolled his eyes. "Pirates" He snapped then looked at Jack. "There has not been a gathering like that in more than a lifetime."

"There has been no reason for one."

"Would someone care to let us in?" Will spoke

"Well, my dear William, we need to get the heart; correct?" Will nodded. "But first, we need to get a way to get the heart. I doubt whatever ship this is can go up against a fleet." Jack turned to Elizabeth and she nodded. "We simply need a fleet." Jack eased into a chair.

"Where do you propose we get a fleet?" Elizabeth asked. "We cant simply go to some pirates and ask if they would like to join us."

"And why not?" Barbossa asked.

"Pirates don't gather together to fight the good fight." Answered Elizabeth. "Pirates fight for themselves."

Jack and Barbossa looked at each other and then to Elizabeth. "Look at the little pirate lass." Barbossa said quietly. "A sight she is."

Jack smirked at that comment. "Elizabeth, darling, we are all pirates and we are gathered together." Elizabeth's shown a look of shock. "Yes, love, you are a pirate. If you decide to get on a ship full of pirates and fight, you are most certainly a pirate."

"I am fighting for what is right." She insisted

"I think we all are." Will interjected standing next to Elizabeth.

Jack and Barbossa were standing across from the couple. An imaginary line settled between the four. Jack and Barbossa being the experienced, true pirates, and Will and Elizabeth, trying to find their way through the confusion of the path they chose. It was at that moment that Jack had a hint of guilt pass through him. He felt bad for bringing these two into such a mess.

Jack began to speak. "William, Elizabeth…what is right?" Jack questioned. They had to know what they were fighting. They had to know what they were already waist deep in.

"What are you two fighting for?" Barbossa asked when the didn't answer.

"We are fighting for…" Elizabeth was at a loss of words.

Jack answered for her. "You are fighting for something that you have no connection to. Jack looked directly at Elizabeth. "You have your fiancé back. Isn't that what you came for?" Jack then looked at Will. "You wanted Elizabeth back. Well there she is. But now, now, you want your father back. That is why you are here. But you are not prepared for the consequences. Do you even know what those are?" Will shook his head. "If Beckett ever gets a hold of you, he will brand savor the scent of your burning flesh." Jack looked directly into his eyes. "You will then never be normal. You will get married and have children and constantly move from town to town and then maybe, eventually, you will leave your family because you were branded for something you aren't." Jack looked at Elizabeth and then to Will. "You will be like your father in the final way possible."

It was quiet for a moment before Barbossa spoke. "I will admit, you are stronger than the average land lover, but neither of you wants this life. So I think we both want to know. Why are you here?"

"It's the right think to do." Elizabeth insisted quietly.

"Of course it is." Jack answered. "It is the absolute right thing to do…fighting for pirate rights."

"You are fighting for outlaws. You are fighting for the right to pillage, to plunder, to be generally lawless." Barbossa said. "We are fighting because it is all we know. We fight because there is nowhere else for us to go. We are pirates."

The cabin was quiet. The two sides watched each other. It was Will who spoke. "You fight because it is all you know. Neither of you can go to land. Neither of you want to. You fight for your life because it is your life and it is right. We fight because we were brought into it. We fight because of the both of you. If it weren't for you two, then we wouldn't be here. I would be a blacksmith and Elizabeth would be Mrs. Norrington." Will watched the two captains. "We're here because even though you are pirates, Beckett is worse, as is Jones." Will looked at Jack, not Barbossa. "You are a good man."

Jack stared at Will but then turned away. "We…we find the pirate lords of the world and unite. That is how we will win."

"It's that simple?" Elizabeth asked.

"That depends on your meaning of simple." Barbossa laughed.

Who knows...maybe there will be more. I kinda rushed through this. It took me about an hour to write. Tell me what you think. PLEASE REVIEW!!!
