Doctor Who Imagines

Captain Jack Harkness x Reader

Imagine: Working for Torchwood, and catching the eye of a certain Captain.

"This is brilliant, Ianto," I smiled softly, sipping the cup of coffee he had handed me, "How are you so good at making coffee?"

"If I told you, I'd have to kill you," he said seriously, then smiled.

I chuckled, "Today's rather boring, yeah? Gwen's off on her honeymoon, Jack's waist high with paperwork, and Tosh and Owen are so engrossed in their own projects that they wouldn't even notice if the hub was blown to pieces."

Ianto just shrugged, "I like it. It's peaceful."

"I don't like peaceful," I shook my head, "It usually means something big is going to happen, and it's usually not good."

"Such a pessimist," he nudged me.

"In this line of work, it's a given."

"It's not all bad," he smiled softly, "Like you said, Gwen is off on her honeymoon. We should be happy for her."

"I am!" I sighed, "But I am a little worried. She's dragging Rhys into this world. Into all these aliens and conflicts."

"Can't help who you love, I suppose. And Rhys knows what he's getting into."

"Rhys and Gwen have been together longer than Gwen's been involved with Torchwood. He won't be safe again."

Ianto sighed, "Pessimist."

I shrugged, giving a weak smile, "Like I said, can't help it."

"Ah! Ianto! [Y/N]!" Jack walked out of his office, shrugging on his trench coat, "Weevil sighting a few miles from here."

"Think you and [Y/N] can handle it?" Ianto nudged me forward a bit.

"We ought to," Jack winked at me, making me blush.

"Great," Ianto smiled.

*****

Jack's great fun to be around. He can make the most dire of situations seem safe, and I couldn't thank him enough for that.

"Ready?" he asked, pulling out his revolver as we walked down a dark alley of Cardiff.

"Always," I assured, holding my own gun, ready to shoot at a moment's notice.

He chuckled, "So, you've been a part of Torchwood for awhile now. Five years, in fact."

"And you've been a part of Torchwood for over a hundred years," I replied cheekily, "Your point?"

"My point, is that the two of us don't even know each other very well-"

"Shhh..." I pressed a finger to my lips as I heard a low growling noise. "Let's split up."

He nodded and dashed off to the left, while I took a right. My luck, the growling got louder as I advanced towards a dead end.

"Here, Weevil, Weevil, Weevil..." I called quietly, kicking a few knocked over trash bins, "I know you're close by..."

Just as I wanted, the Weevil dashed out from behind the trash bins and ran in the opposite direction. I chased after it as fast as I could, but before I could even blink, Jack tackled the Weevil.

"What the-" I started.

"Ha!" Jack laughed, pressing the sedative into the Weevil's neck.

"I had that!" I complained.

"Better luck next time."

****

Once we had gotten the unconscious Weevil back to the hub, Jack told everyone they could head home. Owen and Tosh left almost immediately, while Ianto said he was staying to clean.

"What about you, [Y/N]?" Jack asked as I slid on my jacket.

"I'm gonna head back to my flat," I informed, "Why?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go and get a drink," he gave me a smile.

I raised an eyebrow, "A drink? With me?"

"That's what I said."

"Why?"

"Why not?" he countered.

I smiled softly, "Touché."

"So shall we?" he held out an elbow.

"We shall," I took his arm, letting him lead me outside. We walked a few blocks to the local pub.

"So why are you suddenly asking me out, Captain?" I asked jokingly, sipping on the pint the bartender had handed me.

"Finally worked up the courage," he winked, making me roll my eyes.

"You're trying to seduce me."

"Is it working?"

"Haven't decided yet."

He chuckled, downing his drink, "Oh trust me, love. I will."

"Arrogant, are we?"

"Just a bit."

I smirked. I can tell this is going to be a brilliant night.
