Homecoming (and Going)

Jack once found happiness on the TARDIS. For more than a century he had dreamed of it, longed for it, waited for its return.

Now here it was, with the Doctor grinning at him, half "come-hither" and half "stay-away". "So," the Doctor's casual tone fooled no one, "Want to stay?"

Jack swallowed. "Can't. Duty." He had another home now. Earth. Torchwood. The team.

"Just for a spin?"

"If I stay, I'll never go back. They need me more than you do. I love them."

"Jack! You've gone native!"

Jack smiled at memories. "No. Found a place of my own."
