Hard choices leave you with nothing [for slayers_desire]

[fractured_agent]

It's been a while since Jack needed a stiff drink, and he usually abstains in case the Doctor picks that moment to return. But after a day like today... sometimes he can justify letting himself slip a bit.

The rest of his team is sent home, and the Hub is empty, save for Jack and the pterodactyl roosting in her eyrie. Leaving him alone with only a drink and his memories for company.

He looks down at his wristcomp. Very few times has he been able to call anyone for help, since his time at Torchwood began. And it still doesn't quite work... but he's spent too much time with only his thoughts for company. He's terribly lonely, in the way that only the immortal truly know, and right now his heart is aching for the loss of Estelle.

He calls up April's number, before he can talk himself out of it.

April gives him a hug again. She knows that her friendship is important to him. And hopes that she won't be going anywhere on him... for a long time.

And she hugs him again.

Jack hopes so too. And maybe one day, that's a conversation they'll be able to have. But for now, he just accepts and returns the hug, glad to have friends like her.

((good scene))

[fractured_agent]

((Thanks :D Jack needs good friends like April))

[slayers_desire]

((I am glad that he has April is his friend))

[fractured_agent]

((Me too. Especially if she ends up living a long time like vampires in her world do. :P))

[slayers_desire]

((I look forward to future scenes with him))

[fractured_agent]

((Me too. Now I just have to decide if we're doing the psychic training scene next, or the thing with Alex.))

[slayers_desire]

((which one seems to be the most interesting?))

[fractured_agent]

((Probably Alex. And I've been watching a Let's Play of Telltale's Walking Dead game, so I'm in a zombie sort of mood already.))

[slayers_desire]

((Sounds good to me))

[fractured_agent]

((Hmm... maybe I should start it off with a Nexus post. It's been a while since he's had one, and I don't think I ever gave him a PINpoint.))

[slayers_desire]

((sounds like the best option for a start))

[fractured_agent]

((So now I just have to think of a question, lol.))

[slayers_desire]

((let me know when you do))
