Hub flirts with TARDIS
TARDIS flirts back – they decide

To share Captain Jack.

Jack in the TARDIS
Moving, stroking, touching her
Buttons.  She pulses –

Fades out.  In again.
Lift rising, hand bubbling,
The hub surrounds her.

Rattle of weevil,
Cold brush of underground air
Torchwood sounds touch on –

The wood and blue paint
Of her call box disguise.  Not
Deceived, but liking.

Jack slides out of her
Hand trailing over her side
His feet, twin pressures

Firm on the hub floor.
This connection – Jack in hub,
Jack touching TARDIS

Hub around TARDIS,
And TARDIS touching Jack – each
Claiming the others.

For Jack it is sex;
For the TARDIS, possession
For the hub, power.

For all three, it’s love –
They choose to make it so, so
So, for them, it is

***

The hub connects to
One end of the rift.  Why so
Surprised it can think?

She is; was; will be
Inheritor of space and
Time – the last TARDIS

Jack will never die –
His lovers will not let him,
Selfish constructs, both.

My favorite one is this:

The hub connects to
One end of the rift. Why so
Surprised it can think?


Other than that, complete awe and adoration. I like how it's a good relationship. One question, though-- Did Jack dump the Doctor in an alley somewhere and steal the TARDIS? Is the Doctor on a TARDIS-less adventure? What happens when Ianto comes in too early one morning? When the Doctor comes back, does the TARDIS refuse to leave?

Doctor: What? What's the problem? All the buttons and flashy lights say all systems go, but she won't leave!
Jack: Oh, uh, probably um, you know, weird things happen around the rift....
Doctor: .... oh, do they.
Jack: (coughs slightly) Yes. Do you want me to run some diagnostics? The hub has lots of sophisticated scans--
Doctor: What was that? What did my TARDIS just do? Earthquake?
Jack: Shiver of anticipation, probably.
Doctor: (narrows eyes)
Jack: (grins unrepentantly)

Ianto has lured the Doctor from the hub with his demonic, tea-making wiles. They'd have been back hours ago if they hadn't been distracted by a random alien invasion and had to stop to find an antidote for the sex-pollen.

Jack: Shiver of anticipation, probably.
Doctor: (narrows eyes)
Jack: (grins unrepentantly)

*laughs* Oh, that is so them!
