Rating: G
Notes: The relationship between Jack and the Doctor isn't exactly an easy one.
Exemplum
The first time they met, the Doctor left Jack feeling like a misbehaving child.
He'd spent his whole life trying to prove himself. Watching the Doctor solve a problem of Jack's own creation with nothing but words and goodwill was humbling, to say the least. All Jack's bravado, all his schemes, all his guns came to nothing, revealing him for what he was: a petty, insignificant con artist.
So many lifetimes have passed now. And still, the one person who's taught Jack -- the eternal, consummate soldier -- the most is the Time Lord whose preferred weapon is no weapon at all.
