The night you'd been taken, was the night he regretted ever living. Blackbeard was a cruel and ruthless man who prayed in torturing his victims. After you'd been taken, James had taken a trip to Tortuga, hoping to find Jack Sparrow. He knew Blackbeard, he knew his daughter, and he knew how to find you.

As he arrived, he already saw the black sails of the pearl, and the pirate captain getting ready to retreat from the port. The rowboat James had used was no longer important, he ditched it, swimming toward the rungs that he could climb to get up onto the decks. He swam toward the ship, clinging on to the ladder before regaining his strength to get on decks. Peaking his head over the barrier, he grabbed hold and hoisted himself over, making his way unnoticed to the helm of the ship, where Jack looked toward peaceably.

"Norrington? What are you doing here?"

"I've come because..." he was hesitant to ask Jack for help, he was humble sometimes but mostly proud.

"You want my help? We've got another William Turner," he smirked, and concentrated on getting the ship out of the dock. "What's happened to her?"

"Blackbeard... Blackbeard took her when she was taking a rest in the sea. We took a trip to whitecap bay," jacks eyes lit up in fear upon mention of the bay.

"You saved old Blackbeard a trip... I didn't know she was..."

"No. I don't half pick them. I need your help to regain her, I need to get her before he hurts her,"

"What's it worth to you?"

"It's worth what you owe me. You cost me my promotion and standing in port royal, you cost me my crew, and for what?"

"You need a wash mate,"

"And I will take that as a yes."

He gave the co-ordinates to Gibbs and set the heading toward you. There was no way he was letting this moment slip by, he needed Jack as much as Jack needed him.

Song - Centuries - Fall Out Boy

After a long journey, you found Blackbeards ship , Queen Anne's Revenge. A confident title for a ship. Jack called to Blackbeard, he wasn't often out in deck. His presence was domineering as he exited his cabin, sighting Jack with a pure smirk across his lips.

"Look what the cat dragged across the sea? Jack Sparrow,"

"Ah! Hello mate, how've you been? Looking better than ever,"

"Who's this you've brought with you?"

"James Norrington," he spoke up, preparing to cross. Just as he was, Jack held his shoulder back stopping him from going to far forward.

"Why are you here, James Norrington? And why are you disgraced?"

A few of Blackbeard crew laughed at him, before Blackbeard snapped his gaze around, forcing them back to work. Across the way, there was a beckoning and screams of someone pounding on the glass. James sighted you locked in the glass coffin with minimal water and breathing space.

"Y/N!" he gasped, running out of jacks grip to get to you, he wedged his sword underneath the slit prising it open for you to breathe, you let out a strong gasp of air. "I'm getting you there!"

"No you won't! She's my ticket to freedom, James. I won't be letting you do that, not this time,"

"We will get you another mermaid, not this one. She's not the right kind,"

"And you're an expert I suppose?"

"I was under lord cutler beckett's command, he prides himself on knowing all the things of the sea. And she, she isn't the one you want. She didn't come from whitecap bay, the ones from whitecap bay have the correct tears,"

"So. Why was she bathing in the sea? Why did you take her there?"

James grew silent, unable to answer. Jack stepped across the ship, leaving Gibbs in command of the black pearl.

"Well, mate. If you knew the sea, you'd know that different waters adapt to the different age of the mermaid. The younger they are, the more they need the sea of whitecap bay, but if their older... it's the open sea,"

"That makes no sense jack, I know that's not real. She's the one I need and she's not going anywhere,"

"You'll have a problem with that, mate. That bloke has a vendetta against me, and I promise..." jack winked toward Norrington, to get you out. "... I would help him get his mermaid Lass back home with him."

"It seems, jack. A lot of people have vendettas against you,"

"Sure they do! Why not? The more the merrier,"

Jack slit the rope, sending Norrington with you in his arms over to the other side of the pearl.

"Nice seeing you, again mate!"

The rope took Jack back to the blackpearl, Gibbs set the heading and sailed quickly away. Since the Revenge was facing the wrong way, by the time they'd turn around, the pearl was further ahead and faster than they could have been. Jack simply waved and saluted Blackbeard.

James sat on the decks cradling you in his arms, once you'd dried off, he let you walk with his dirtied jacket around your naked and freezing body. He gripped you a drink of water and some clean clothes, letting you rest in jacks cabin bed.

"I'm so glad you're alive," he tucked you into the sheet. "I've miss you, you know."

"I've missed you too."
