[Locked to Torchwood Chicago]I have no idea how many of you know how much about something called the Organization. From what I know, it's a powerful shadow faction in Chicago and likely extending outside of its bounds

He's an old friend of mine. Old Torchwood employee. Our history hasn't exactly been uncomplicated.
The person who's picked him up almost got him - the last version of him who came to Chicago - to defect from Torchwood. I'm not sure she knows that I'm aware of that, but it does make the fact that she grabbed him and is making a point of releasing him to us a bit worrying.
I haven't heard a whole lot about the O, but I think that's sort of the point. There's a lot of power shifting going on with the latest Rift fuck up. If she's sending Torchwood a message because of it, it's a good idea that someone like me goes to keep it neutral till you know what's really up.
But you know that already, so.
I kind of meant what's going on with you. I'm new to this guardian/ward thing, but even I know I'm supposed to be getting something from you.
NO, you're just avoidy. Like an avoidy thing that AVOIDS.
Which, you know, I get it. Why should a zany (I KNOW what that means, I looked it up) eighteen-year old be privy (I ALSO looked that up) to your clusterfuck of emotions? But if you REALLY want this to work, you're gonna have to meet me halfway someday.
I've been training and doing my part and my arms HURT like a mothaload and now I might have to pick up this dude and the static that I'm getting from you that's mostly silence? Not good.
You seem to be under the impression that knowing what I'm feeling all the time will make your job easier. Knowing what I'm feeling all the time doesn't even make my job
Look, you have the potential to be an effective Torchwood agent, but that doesn't require you to know what I'm thinking at all times. A for the philosophy of the guardian-ward bond, I'm sorry, but I don't need protecting. This is more some sort of cosmic glitch I wish I could fix for you than any sort of intrinsic destiny.
WOW. My Calling is not a glitch, okay. This might be the ONE thing I understand better than you ever could because it's in me and it's no glitch. It's something I was meant to do.
I don't expect to know what you feel every second of every day, but you're not a robot. When you're emotionally distressed, it matters to me, whether I can sense it or not.
I didn't mean your calling was; I meant that this, the psychic link, had to be. I don't see that you should be expected to caretake my emotional state, and I don't see the point in forcing you to. I know how to take care of myself.
Soooooo, what's going on?

Maybe I'm just quirky.

NOT. GOOD. AT. ALL.
So you THINK about that Jack Harkness.
You THINK ABOUT THAT GOOD.

I really don't think that's the case.

Sorry that I care and I'm here and not leaving.

I KNOW you can take care of yourself. I mean, I wouldn't respect anyone that wasn't self-sufficient. I looked that up too.
I've been taking care of myself for years. I'm just saying, when it comes to certain stuff, people shouldn't have to do them alone.
Just THINK ABOUT IT. That's all. No it's not but baby steps.
