Homecoming

For the second time, Captain Jack Harkness was exterminated by Daleks, and lived to tell the tale.

This time, the Doctor didn't leave him there.

Long ago, on the TARDIS, Jack found love and commitment. Now it was full of newcomers - Jack loved them, but he didn't belong among them. Time took its toll: this wasn't his place any more.

Jack went back to the rainy Plass with his useless vortex manipulator. He rode the Invisible Lift with anticipation and pride. This was the fortress he had made for himself: his planet, his team, his headquarters, and his home.
