The Life of a Time Lord

Jack Harkness: Enough Said

So after deciding long and hard about this...I've decided I'm going to finish this piece of crap story I wrote three years ago. It might take a while because I'll have to rewrite half of my chapters but I'm gonna try to finish it for you guys. So I guess here you go...enjoy and stay tuned for more...hopefully!

Now the Doctor describes me as the type of guy who just by saying hello is flirting and that the entirety of my name is a pick up line all the people fall for. And who am I to argue!? After all it was all of that swagger and natural charm that got me into this problem in the first place. Why did I have to be cursed with a universe full of beautiful people everywhere I step? But of course being me, Jack-hi-I'm-saying-my-full-name-to-try-to-get-in-your-pants- Harkness, I just had to go and flirt with goddesses.

I was riding on the back of the horse guy...centaur...whatever he was...we had just met. Chiron had mentioned he was taking me to see Him and that He was supposed to determine my fate. I had figured that Him had meant Hermes and I was being brought to right the wrong I had so foolishly allowed to happen. But I soon found myself very wrong when we stopped in front of another white building very similar to the one I had been taken from. Only difference being that this one had lighting bolts all over it.

"The Temple of Zeus." Chiron said proudly as he lowered himself and allowed me to slip off his back.

"Whoa big fella, I thought you were taking me to Hermes." I said feeling a little less bold about the situation.

All of my dialogue I had prepared to persuade myself free on the way here, simply washed away from my head and for once in a long time, I was rendered speechless.

Chiron ignored my previous comment and was already walking up the steps to the large building with the sounds of his hooves clopping the ground and echoing all around. I joined him and we stopped at the set of double golden doors that had to be at least thirty feet tall or more. Seriously, who needs doors that big? They were decorated with engravings of Greek names and words like the ones on the chariot. Chiron pushed open the doors like they were weightless (which either meant they were magic or the horse guy had been working out big time) and walked in.

I've been drunk enough to know not to trust what I see. Usually that means things are a lot closer than they seem or that solo cup is not bright blue. So when I walked through those giant doors and saw what was behind them, I was finding it difficult to not believe I was balls deep drunk. If I did trust my eyes, then what I was seeing were twenty-foot tall people, sitting in huge throne-like chairs, yelling at each other. That would definitely explain the larger than life doors.

There were twelve of them in all so I could only assume with my limited knowledge of greek mythology and pure logic that they were The Gods. The biggest one of the lot was the man in the middle. He sat with a smug look on his face as all the other gods around him fought with each other, like he was actually enjoying the chaos. He had jet-black hair and wore a toga being held golden pins with lighting bolts. I took a wild guess and assumed it was Zeus. It took a minute or two but the Gods finally noticed both of us standing around and stopped their argument. All of them stared me down until Chiron spoke up.

"My Gods I bring you a man who needs punishment!" He said loud enough for everyone back on earth to hear. That guy could whisper and be heard a mile away.

Zeus and all the others continued to glare at me as if I was a fresh piece of meat. Which, if this wasn't a trial of me facing punishment for my doing, I probably wouldn't of minded to much.

"BRING HIM TO ME!" Zeus spoke suddenly, his voice booming through the room. And I thought Chiron was loud. If that was his talking voice, I really didn't want to get him mad.

Chiron stole a glance at me and made a gesture towards the big guy himself. I may seem like I'm a pretty chill guy, and for the most part, I totally am. But at this moment, I was the complete opposite of chill. I shuffled my way up to the God and had no idea what to do. I'd never been to Olympus, give me a break! So I did the first thing that came to my head and kneeled. All the Gods started snickering at me and giving me more judgmental looks that a fashion show judge so I stood back up, not knowing what to do. What a room full of snarky bitches. Finally someone broke the long silence.

"That is the man who stole my chariot from me!" Someone bellowed.

I turned around to see the speaker. He was sitting is his enormous throne sideways like he was some punk teenager that said stuff in a bratty voice like, You can't tell me what to do." I immediately did not like him. He had squinty eyes that made him look mischievous, a small nose, and a handsome enough face I guess. Snarky or not, he still had the face of well...a god. He was wearing a Greek toga like the rest of them, and red sneakers. But these sneakers had pure white wings sprouting out from them. Finally it clicked who he was.

Hermes looked down at me and then back at Zeus and I swear he rolled his eyes.

"Yes I'm sure that's the one." He said pointing at me "I can see it in his eyes."

Zeus turned to me and bellowed, "DO YOU KNOW THAT STEALING FROM A GOD IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH?!"

I shook my head. I had figured that's what it was, but technically I didn't actually KNOW that so...loophole!

"THEN YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED BY THE ONE WHOM YOU STOLE FROM!"

Great. This should be good.

I turned to Hermes who said with no hesitation,"Execute him!"

Before I had time to argue with him about how stupid this was over a freaking cart, a familiar third voice rang out through the massive room.

"WAIT!"

I spun around to see the Doctor run in and stand before the Gods.
