Harry found Will lying on the ground in the street. Walking over to the groaning man he smiled softly. Now he knew where his saving people thing came from. After all Will could've just shut himself up in the shop until it was all over. Instead he was outside fighting. True he was knocked out but just the fact that he had been fighting was enough for Harry to know that he had a saving people thing too.

"So Will, late night?" Harry asked smiled still in place.

"Yes. And I feel as though something large and very heavy has been sitting on my head." The smith replied as the wizard helped him to his feet. "Did you have any trouble last night Harry?"

"Who didn't?" He smiled wider when Will grimaced as he touched a sore spot. "But my trouble went away soon enough. I think it was scared of you Will." He chuckled at the glare he received for that comment.

Will looked around and his eyes took stock of all the dead and the wounded that would most likely end up that way. He was sure what he could do to help so he turned toward the shop. Harry just followed him.

Jack's day yesterday was bad but it had only gotten worse after a cannon ball had blasted its way through the wall allowing the others to escape and leaving on him behind. After said prisoners left he had tried to coax the dog into giving him the keys to the cells. He thought it might have worked save for one small detail. Two of his mutinous crew had decided at that precise moment to clumber down the stairs and there by scaring the dog into leaving.

It was odd looking at them after ten years. They hadn't truly changed much, and neither had their personalities improved.

"Well, well, well. Look what we have here Twigg. Capitan Jack Sparrow."

"Lat time I saw you, you were all alone on some godforsaken island, shrinkin' into the distance. His fortunes aren't improved much." Twigg said in response to the others words.

"Worry about your own fortunes, gentlemen. The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers." Jack said wondering what effect his words would have on them, if any. And the reaction he got was less then pleasing but it gave him some valuable information that he found interesting. Very interesting.

As they reached the smithies Harry wondered if Will knew about Elizabeth's kidnapping. By the way he kept looking about Harry thought it was likely he did. Will wasted no time in getting a few more un-noticeable weapons to put on his person before heading out again.

"Wait. Where are you going Will?" Harry asked as he caught Will's arm and spun him so they stood face to face.

"I'm going to see what the governor is going to do about Elizabeth." And with a determined look he left Harry and headed out.

Harry knew that they governor and all the 'proper' authorities were doing all they could at the moment so he went to look for Jack. He hadn't heard about what had happened at the jail as of yet.

On the way he stopped and took a look around. Once more he felt that pang of his hero complex kicking in. So sitting in a dark alley he read. Not much later he started helping out the wounded and not too long after that he had a steady line of people silently asking him to help them.

It was late in the afternoon when the line had diminished enough for him to go looking for Will and Jack. Though he knew where Jack was at least where he had been at noon. Upon searching the fort for the holding cells he found them all empty. Seems Jack had made good on his escape. Now all Harry had to do was find Will.

That wasn't much harder as Will had a light tracker on him as well. Harry figured it wouldn't be good for him lose Will so soon after finding him. He followed the tracker all the way to the Dauntless. And after Will and Jack had asked the crew to leave he revealed himself.

"Hello boys." This of course probably wasn't one of his brighter ideas but he needed them to know that he was there. Will jumped at his voice and Jack swung his sword until it was resting under Harry's chin.

"Well now lad. Hadn't thought I'd be seeing you again. What brings you to the Dauntless? Eh?" Harry smiled at Will and answered the Capitan.

"Well I thought I'd just tag along seeing as there wasn't much to do in town." Jack laughed and put his sword down but Will was uncertain. Sure Harry was nice and seemed honest there was just something about him that had him on edge. After all how long had he been following them?

"As long as you're here you might as well come along. After all there isn't anything we can do about it now." Jack walked over to the helm and waited. He wasn't disappointed. Will hurried over to him.

"Here they come."

As they sailed out of the harbor Will thought back to the scene that led up to this point.

He ran down the stairs and saw the pirate laying on the ground. Angry that Norrington hadn't at the very least asked or demanded the pirate to tell him what he knew about the ship. Wasted opportunity.

"You there, Sparrow."

"Aye?"

"You are familiar with that ship the Black Pearl?" Will stepped a bit closer to the bars.

"I've heard of it." Jack thought the kid did indeed look very familiar.

"Where does it make berth?"

"'Where does it make berth?' Have you not heard the stories?" From the look on his face it was obvious he hadn't. "Capitan Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Mureta. It is an island that can not be found except by those who already know where it is."

The pirate knew something Will could feel it in his gut. And he was going to find out exactly what it was.

"The ship's real enough. Therefore, its anchorage must be a real place where is it?" He took another step forward.

"Why ask me?" The pirate asked while looking at his nails.

"Because you're a pirate."

"And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?" This served to make Will a little more unstable as he glared at the pirate.

"Never. They took Miss Swan."

"Oh! So it is that you found a girl. Oh, I see. Well, if your intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady's heart, you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me." The pirate had a point.

"I can get you out of here." He offered.

"How's that? The keys run off."

"I helped build these cells. These are half-pin barrel hinges. With the right leverage and the proper application of strength the door will lift free." He said all of this while getting a near by bench and didn't see the pirate roll his eyes.

"What's you name?"

"Will Turner."

"That would be short for William, I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt named for your father, eh?" That sent Will's gift spinning. The pirate knew something about his family.

"Yes."

"Uh-huh. Well, Mr. Turner, I changed me mind. If you spring me from this cell, I promise on pain of death to take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an accord?"

So after shaking the pirate Capitan's hand the set off to commandeer a ship of the fleet. And said commandeering went well for his first time breaking the law.
