Captain Jack Harkness is bold
Captain Jack Harkness is also bold
Hey, I'm going out for a drink tonight… Anyone want to have some fun?
Why not? Which planet?
There's this great bar on the edge of the Andromedan Galaxy. One of those ones that cater for every type. It's got a great market in second-hand weapons, too, if you're interested in that kind of thing.
Huh, that's just where I was thinking of. The place where you can buy anything, as long as you kill the previous owner. Shall we? I could use a spare set of batteries in my vortex manipulator.
Me too! What's your name, by the way?
Captain Jack Harkness. A pleasure to meet you.
Oh Dear.
John? Is that you? How did you get on here?
You actually think I'm as bad as our ex-partner?
OUR ex-partner? How many did he have?
Hundreds, probably.
So who are you, then?
Captain Jack Harkness. And I believe this MUST be causing a paradox.
Yes, it must… What do we do if there are reapers?
Well, we don't kiss them.
No. Don't turn your back on it, and don't kiss it. And don't let it kiss you.
Could be deadly. Not that that's much of a problem for us.
No, it really isn't. But I'd prefer to avoid not existing.
Agreed. So we should probably stop talking now.
But you're the first vaguely uncivilised conversation I've had in years.
I know, isn't this century depressing? Just go find River Song, she'll satisfy you for a while.
Thanks, me. I'll remember that. Won't be seeing you around anytime soon, Captain.
Likewise.
AN: Thanks to GingerTyPerior for suggesting this one. Actually, I've already done it (Chapter 77) and then GingerTyPerior asked for a modern version of it, so... R&R!
