Rule The World
(Take That)
As a once amazing Dr. John Barrowman dedicated this song, I now dedicate this song to the wonderful Jack and Gwen, the best Torchwood team ever.
Floating in space like a lost traveller, time gushed by and the stars spread out before him, Jack moved on and on chasing away his fears, but as he strode among the galaxies there was only one star that shined the brightest and that was Gwen. She radiated throughout time casting her luminosity for all to see. She could blind any mere mortal but Jack stared right into her absorbing her radiation to make himself that little bit better. She was all he had left and he could never let her go, but her light was hard to trap and now he had drifted off into orbit. Words formed in his mouth and he belted them out into space "DON'T CLOSE YOUR EYES, DON'T FADE AWAY!" And he clung onto those words as if they were Gwen herself. Jack's heart continued to beat steadily but he knew it was weak and he had lost most of what it was holding on to, did he have any love left, could he ever love again? But he had to hold on he must hold on to her, her love encapsulated him and in her he saw everything he was not and that way together they could rule the world. Jack wished he had her by his side now, they could ride the stars together he just needed her trust and he would take her hand in his and they could fly.
He would be there, her solider through wars he could keep her safe and if the heavens broke down he would be there for her like he had for no one else because he had no one else and all he could do now is keep her, he would not let the last one fall. She was the last sinew to his heart and that kept him going, it kept the last steady beats of his heart repeating on a cycle. Jack knew if Gwen left his side now it would be the end of him, they were good together and he didn't need to ask her to confirm that. Looking around in a 360 degree turn Jack could see darkness for miles and miles, endless darkness, but the stars shone through the darkness, lighting up Jack's whole world and more. The stars were there to remind him of Gwen.
Jack spun around and around, turning in on himself, round and round he went, light shining everywhere all around him, blinding him, scarring an imprint on his memory. He was propelled into the air as he flicked the button on his vortex manipulator, soaring into the emptiness but he was not alone, Gwen was all around him. The stars called out to him "We can rule the world!" him and Gwen until the end, forever casting their eternal light across time.
