The Forgotten Timelord

Chapter 5

"October 29, 2015" the paper stated at the top in big letters. He glanced back and forth between the newspaper and myself. I just leaned against my TARDIS and crossed my ankles, flipping my sonic screwdriver in my right hand and barely noticing his reaction. Then, we both raised our gaze to meet one another's, no expression upon our faces. "You're a Timelord." Jack said finally after a long silent moment. I nodded and smiled. "Yup." I said, popping the P. He approached me and did that suspicious stare, that him and the Doctor share, once again. I looked up at him with a careless expression.
             He didn't seem happy when he opened his mouth after another long silence. "Let's talk about this in your TARDIS." He said as he walked past me. I frowned but followed, unlocking the doors. We walked inside and Jack leaned against the bars on the edges of the control panel floor. I looked around as I just stopped at the doors, leaning against them after closing them. He glared at me with no expression for a long time. Eventually, I glared back with a grunt. "What? I thought you wanted to 'talk about this in my TARDIS'?" I asked with an slightly agitated expression. He stood up straight and turned to look at me. "I don't know what to say to you, being a Timelord with a TARDIS that can't physically exist. To get back on why I approached you in the first place, have you seen the Doctor?" He responded.
        "Why? What are you doing?" I asked. I could tell Jack was feeling impatient from the look in his eye. "He left me behind and I need to find him. Okay? Now have you seen him?" He replied with agitation. I nodded at him. "Yes. He saw me too. Him and lady friend, Martha." He looked at me strangely. "He got a new one? Heh" he said with a chuckle. I did the same. "So he picks up chicks and drops them off when he gets bored?" I said. We laughed and Jack walked over to stand by me. "So can you help me find the player?" He said with a smile. I nodded and walked around the controls, stopping at a spot to bend down. I pulled out a chest that incrested the words "Huntress of Time" in Gallifreyan on the side. I opened the chest and searched around as Jack patiently waited. After a minute or so, I stood and gave Jack a small device. He grasped it. "Vortex Manipulator" we said at the same time, looking at each other with a surprised smile. "Yes." I said with a chuckle. "It will help you find his TARDIS. Just don't get it mixed up with mine." He nodded in appriciation and understanding. "Thank you, Huntress." He thanked me as he approached the exit. I just nodded and smiled as he opened the TARDIS doors, returning the smile when he walked out.
