Sequel to Toaster
Suddenly there was loud noise and the sound of scraping and out of nowhere Captain Jack Harkness appeared in the middle of the room.
Doctor's eyes widened, "What the..."
Jack looked around, grinned and pumped his arm in the air, toaster attached, "Yes!"
Doctor gaped at him, "H-how?"
Jack smirked, "I proved him wrong! You can travel in time by sticking your hand in a toaster!".
-----
Doctor wandered around the control room in the Tardis. They were just hanging out in the Time Vortex for a few days before they decided where to go next.
Rose was off doing something and that left Doctor alone wondering what to do.
He considered breaking something so he could fix it but decided against it.
He collapsed in a seat kindly provided by the Tardis. He sighed and looked around. This is what he hated when he wasn’t constantly on the move, the boredom. It left to much time for his mind to wander. It’s not that he didn’t care if his mind wandered, he was just a bit worried if it didn’t come back, again.

Doctor gaped at him, "How? How?"
Jack smirked, "I proved him wrong! You can travel in time by sticking your hand in a toaster!".
Half an hour earlier -
It took Ianto a minute and a half to get Jack’s hand out of the toaster.
Once Jack’s hand was free he rubbed it furiously, trying to get the blood running into it again. Ianto picked up his hand gently and planted a soft kiss on it.
“Better?”
Jack grinned, “Much”.
Ianto picked up the toaster and inspected it, “No damage done. Why did you stick your hand in a toaster anyway?”.
Jack shifted from foot to foot awkwardly, “Um, trying to get my toast?”
Ianto shook the toaster from side to side, “There’s no toast in here, Jack”.
“I was fixing it?”.
“No you weren’t”, Ianto contradicted.
“No I wasn’t”, Jack agreed.
“Jack, tell me”, Ianto ordered gently, “Is it embarrassing?”.
“No”, Jack answered quickly.
“What is it?”
“You’re going to think I’m a complete idiot”, Jack admitted.
“Sir”, Ianto held back laughter, “I found you with your hand stuck in a toaster”.
Jack grinned, “Fine. Somebodytoldmeifyoustickyourhandinatoasteryoucantravelintime”.
Ianto frowned, “Slowly”.
Jack sighed heavily, “Somebody told me if you stick your hand in a toaster you can travel in time”.
Ianto burst out laughing, “And you believed them? Course you did! I found you with your hand in a toaster!”.
“It works!”, Jack protested, “Watch!”.
Before Ianto could say anything, Jack grabbed the toaster and shoved his hand in it. Promptly he disappeared.
Ianto’s eyes widened, “You’ve got to be bloody kidding me”, he sighed, “I’m never going to hear the end of this one”.
Half an hour later -
Doctor gaped at him, "How? How?"
Jack smirked, "I proved him wrong! You can travel in time by sticking your hand in a toaster!".
Doctor shook his head and would have probably fallen over if he wasn’t sitting in a chair.
“That’s not possible”, Doctor exclaimed.
“Well”, Jack bounded over to him, “my hands in a toaster and I’m here. Is that enough of an explanation?”.
He swooped down and picked up Doctor in a hug.
“Jack”, Doctor struggled away from him, “You can’t be here”.
“But I am”.
“But you shouldn’t be”.
Realisation lit up his face, “Oh yeah, time lines and all that”.
“You better go before you create a paradox”, Doctor said sadly.
Jack nodded, “Yeah”.
He stepped away from the Doctor and pulled his hand out of the toaster he waved with it.
“I’ll be back”, he grinned.
Doctor returned the gesture, “I don’t doubt it”.
Jack plunged his hand back into the toaster and disappeared. Doctor’s eyes widened and he shook his head.
“Bloody Jack”, he laughed, “He’s going to have to write a book one of these days”.’
Back in the Hub-
There was loud noise and the sound of scraping and Jack re-appeared in the kitchenette.
Ianto shook his head at him, “Have a nice trip?”.
Jack grinned, “What did I tell you?”.
He went to pull his hand out of the toaster but it wouldn’t budge.
Ianto sighed, “It’s stuck again, isn’t it?”
“Yup”
