~***~


The Doctor stared at Jack Harkness in shock and it took a lot to shock a Time Lord, and the Immortal stared right back at him with a solemn expression that his eyes belied.

“What?”

“What- did you say?” He stuttered.

“I said we have to stop the Emperor, he has a replicator, and he’s using it to make copies of me!” Jack looked around as if he expected to see a thousand copies of himself suddenly appear.

“Which Emperor Jack?” The doctor asked and immediately regretted it of course there was only one emperor and if he wasn’t mistaken the man was still in the Capitol ruling his empire not running around making ersatz copies of the randy immortal.


Instead of answering his friend, Jack suddenly ran off coat tails flapping in the breeze he left behind him and disappeared around the corner.

“Harkness! Jack, JACK!!!” he shouted, “You come back here right now!” However, the sometimes leader of Torchwood was gone.


“I better not have to come to your rescue and find you naked somewhere! Because if I do I wil-“The doctor sighed, who was he fooling the other man had him wrapped around his little finger and he knew it.

Grumbling to himself he wasn’t really watching where he was going until he bumped into someone in the suddenly crowed streets and they both tumbled to the ground.

“Sorry I wasn’t-“

“Was it good for you too-“Was the answer in Jack’s most seductive tone. “I like it when a lover sweeps me off my feet.”

“Jack!” The Timelord groaned, “Must you always-“
“Are you alright?” asked Jack’s voice over his shoulder it was interrupted by the exact same voice saying, “Let me help you up-“Another voice, Jack’s again called his name when he failed to respond to his query.

The doctor felt he was losing his mind he had tripped Jack yet two other no three other Jacks were all staring at him!


He opened his mouth to speak then closed it shaking his head this could not be happening who in their right mind would think it was a good idea to create thousands of Jack Harkness? Yes, he could admit the man had his uses.

He was an excellent solider, had his way around tech, and when he wanted to was brilliant at whatever he tried to do, but- he was also playful, randy in the extreme, a sybarite, that loved his comforts- and an ex-conman and Time agent- immortal…

It clicked, the Emperor was not mad after all if he had an army, all of them unable to be killed permanently he would not simply be in control of his Empire but the universe. He had to be stopped and now!

Brushing off the over solicitous help he sprang to his feet and began to run in the same direction Jack had. He ran down several streets chasing Jack’s scent and it was not long before he felt the immortal human’s unique energy strengthen it was just ahead him and, waving at him from a huge quilted covered in diamonds and strings of flowers, the yellow, green and puce nuclear powered Zeppelin, was gently drifting towards the landing base.

As soon as the absurd monstrosity was close, enough to land Jack jumped off the royal landing pad and ran toward the doctor.

The Timelord, watched bemused as the Immortal man approached him clad in if possible an outfit more preposterous than flying machine he had just deported.

“Doctor!” He cried out as he reached him, I caught up with the Emperor before he returned to the Capitol in his nuclear powered zeppelin and I took his replicator, away from him but only after I agreed to pose with him in the royal consort’s costume. It seems he had a bet with his twin brother about whose consort was the better looking.”

The Doctor waited not saying a word, to his surprise Jack waited him out sighing in fond exasperation he asked, “Who won?”

Winking Jack handed him the replicator before he answered. “Do you really have to ask?”

He turned and walked away leaving the doctor to admire his excellent derriere.

I hope they kept one of the duplicates around. Lots of uses for a second Jack Harkness in the bedroom ;)
