Of, bloody, course. [Jack/open]

[Rose Tyler]

Bad Wolf Bay. Oh how she hated that stupid stupid beach! But what could you do when you worked for Torchwood and they sent you were ever they bloody well felt like it?

Grumbling a bit, Rose frowned and pulled out her phone, dialing on accident, not Torchwood, but Jack's wrist strap. She didn't noticed too pissed that what she was suppose to be seeing wasn't there. There was no Rift activity here, why the hell did they send her?!

As the ringing continued Rose sighed and folded one arm under the one holding the phone. This really sucked, she was missing Tony's birthday party, but what choice did she have? You don't actually get days off from Torchwood. They let you go home for a bit then pull you back, like a puppet master tugging on the strings.

Rolling her eyes at the fact that it was still ringing, hadn't gone to voicemail or picked up yet Rose started to walk, in utter boredom and suddenly, the ringing got very very loud and then she was gone.

In a blink of an eye she had gone from standing on a sandy beach to falling from a blue sky. Screaming didn't help matters much and soon she landed, of all the places, in a bay.

The impact hurt, but the shock of cool water snapped her out of her dazed state and she started to swim, having no idea where she was or what the creatures in the water were like. It'd be her luck that someone would try to make her a snack.

Surfacing she looked around for a dock or a ladder or coast line. All she saw was a place to stand, way abover her head.

Of course.

Tredding water she winced as she realized her phone was still in her hand...and still dialing. The mere fact it was still functioning after the dip shocked her but the number on her screen wasn't torchwood.

It was one Captain Jack Harkness, and he wasn't bloody picking up!

Tredding water with one hand actually wasn't very hard, but she would really, really, really like to get out soon.

[Captain Jack Harkness]

Jack started in shock as his Vortex Manipulator let out a soft shrill.

Someone was hailing him on it's specific frequency. He had a damn good idea of who that was.

He pressed the button to answer and automatically launched into a tirade.

"John, I'm not bailing you out again, you could have stabbed half of Cardiff as far as I am concerned but I'm not coming. Whatever mess you've got yourself into you can deal with it."

[Rose Tyler]

"I don't know who the hell, John is, unless Meta is here," she paused and kicked towards the ladder she saw shaking, "But I'd really like to know where I am...other than staring at a bay/dock thing..." she reached the ladder after a bit of effort and a few grunts and started to climb as best she could.

"And you can thank the Doctor for letting me swipe your number," she bit out and shivered damn it was cold there!

[Captain Jack Harkness]

He grimaced and looked at his vm like it offended him as the device let out a large crackling noise. He thought he could vaguely make out a female voice but he couldn't hear what it was saying.

He pressed a few buttons and saw whatever had contacted his device was somewhere in the bay... but the signal was strange, distorted.

Shrugging his coat on Jack stepped out into the afternoon sun and walked along the Plass, looking for anything unusual.

[Rose Tyler]

Rose frowned at the loud annoying noise that came from her phone and turned it off as she climbed out of the bay. Glaring she looked aorund and blinked, pausing.

"J-jack?" she called, moving towards the man she knew. "JACK!" she yelled before stumbling a little. Oh damn it was kind of cold.

[Captain Jack Harkness]

Jack's head snapped around as he heard his name being shouted by a female voice.

Trying to locate the voice he scanned the area around him, pacing quickly to try and cover as much ground as possible. He heard his name being shouted for a second time and ran towards the sound.

He stopped dead in his tracks.

"ROSE?!"

[Rose Tyler]

She stood there, dripping wet and smiling. He stopped moving and she rolled her eyes moving squishily towards her, shaking from cold. "Yeah Jack," she assured himand moved closer. "I'd hug you but....I'm soaking wet," she sighed, "And cold, and bruised and have no idea where the hell I am." she told him and wrapped ehr arms around herself tighter.

[Captain Jack Harkness]

Jack looked her up and down and pulled her to him, not caring she was drenching him. He enveloped her in his arms, pulling the body of his greatcoat around her.

"What are you doing here?" he whispered reverently into her ear. Last he heard, The Doctor had taken her to a parallel universe with the Meta, and she was supposed to be safe there, yet here she was.

[Rose Tyler]

She wrapped her arms around Jack, grateful for the warm coat around her. "I fell through a rift in time and space. And believe me, doing that outside of a tardis hurts." she chuckled and snuggled close, glad jack was oddly warm.

"And have I told you I like the new look?"

[Captain Jack Harkness]

Jack moved back and looked her over, checking for any signs of injury or trauma. "You fell through the rift, do you know how? Or Why?" People and things falling through the rift was an almost daily occurrence for Jack but for it to be Rose...

"Where's the Doctor? What did he do?" Jack asked immediately.

[Rose Tyler]

Rose sighed, "There's another world, cross a demension that is sort of like this world. We ended up there with mickey and....I met my Dad. Then after Canary warf I got caught in the portal thing and ended back up in Pete's world....

"I end up back here with the Whole Meta crisis thing, and left again with meta and Mum," she took a breath and pulled a little ways away from Jack. "There's a kind of Rift in Sweden on a beach..somehow I ended up in the bay..."

She leaned against him and sighed, "The Doctor didn't do anything. And I have no idea where he is. Can we go in some place warmer?"

[Captain Jack Harkness]

"Of course of course..." Jack said immediately, shrugging his coat of he wrapped her up in it and led her back towards the hub.

Rose was here, Rose. The reason he was the way he was, the girl he danced with on top of a Chula warship by Big Ben. The Doctor's Rose... Jack couldn't help but wonder where the Doctor was in all of this and how he would react to Rose being here, and now.

Pushing that thought away for now Jack wrapped and arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to him.

"I do look good, don't I Rose..." he grinned.

[Rose Tyler]

She snuggled into his coat and laughed at him, "Yup, you're still Jack. Any Chula warships around this time? Granted it might be different without the air raid but..." she started laughing again and slid her arms into his sleeves to put an arm around his waist.

As they entered the hub she looked up at Jack and decided to wait a moment, and apologize when she stopped smelling like icky bay water.

[Captain Jack Harkness]

Jack shook his head as they entered the Hub, "No, no ships to dance on, but there are some pretty good roofs I could take you to." he smiled at her and once again held her close to him.

"I'll show you to my room, you can use the shower. There are some unisex clothes down in the med bay for rift casualties so feel free to have a rummage for something that will do until we can get you something better." Jack led her down to his quarters and pointed out the relevant things before leaving her to it.

"Take your time, I'll be in my office when your ready."

Rose was here.

[Rose Tyler]

Rose smiled and wandered towards the med bay looking for some clothes and shrugged at sweats and a tshirt with a few random sports bras.

Hopping down after entering jack's office she looked for the shower and entered. A quick shower and a bit of nosing about later she entered Jack's office and plunked down on a chair.

"Hey Jack," she smiled
