Master on Mars Book 2.2 : Reunions
Martha and I come skipping down the stairs. Literally. It didn’t even take much convincing to get her to skip and whistle with me. The simple joys of tormenting are all that’s left to me.
At least until I can convince my ‘family’ of the joys of certain other pursuits.
Honestly I think that’s a lost cause but a man has to live in hope.
Ah good Jack’s spotted us. Thank Rassilon, I need to stop humming this tune before I can’t get it out of my head.
“How the hell- Martha you really shouldn’t have just let him in here-” So he’s going with defensive, bet I can wear him down.
:I didn’t. He guessed your password. Told you it was obvious.”
“I still disagree.” Ignoring me? Not letting him away with that.
“Fine.” Great they’re both acting like I’m not even here! I am not pouting.
“It really is obvious.”
At least he’s looked at me. “You can shut up. I’m not talking to you.”
“What? I put everything and everyone back! I really can’t win with you people can I?”
“No.” Ooh he almost smiled. “Now shut up before I set Myfanwy on you.”
The rest of Torchwood are gaping at their boss and Martha as they interact with me, the dangerous alien. It’s hardly surprising when they all draw their weapons.
“Jack he’s a criminal-” Owen says. I wonder if my Jack knows I’ve profiled all his pets. Down to the tiny details of how to break them.
“I had noticed.” Jack’s defending me.
“He’s an alien who’s is right up there on Torchwood’s shit list.” Ah the boy’s still trying.
“Sadly he‘s also Martha’s husband.” Okay not so much me he’s defending me. “Put the guns down, they won’t help the situation.”
Well fine. I decide to redirect my attention to my love. Ignoring them all in favour of nibbling on Martha’s neck, “He’s not going to shoot me at least, maybe I’ll be forgiven soon.”
My darling just laughs and pulls away to walk over to walk to Jack’s side where she slaps his arm. “For the record he’s not my husband, he’s my fake husband.
Jack pulls her into a hug and a very passionate kiss. Anyone else and I’d kill them. A little less of an audience and I’d join in. Speaking of the audience, Jack’s Welsh bit of stuff has a deliciously jealous look on his face.
Okay so I can’t kill him but I can certainly play with him.
Jack pulls back from Martha slightly, with his arms still around her. “You know you’re welcome any time but did you have to bring him?”
“Last time I left him and the Doctor alone for a few days they built a new and improved Paradox Machine and took over the world in my name!”
“So that’s a no.” Jack’s still holding onto her so maybe I can use her to get to him.
“I don’t remember-” Oh, they’re still talking? Don’t they know good pets are seen and not heard. Of course that doesn’t explain mine.
“That’s the paradox.” I snort at the stupidity of that explanation. “Okay, well not really. They only used that ‘cos they knew Id make them fix it.”
Gwen the other Welsh totty turns a confused look on Jack, but I can see the pretty little Toshiko looking intrigued.
Jack is smiling reassuringly, “They reversed time. Where is the Doctor anyway?”
“Playing with Myfanwy. I swear it’s worse than having a toddler.”
“The Doctor?”
“Myfanwy?” Ooh the Pretty Boy can talk.
“Yes, Owen the Doctor. No, Ianto he won’t hurt her.”
Okay that’s apparently not enough of an explanation as I can see all four of them glaring at him. Nice to see I’m not the only one who’s henpecked.
It’s Gwen who confronts him, “Jack maybe we can discuss why you have Torchwood’s two most wanted here?”
I was paying most of my attention to the other two- always watch the quiet ones- but that caught my attention. “Who got the number 1 slot?”
“You did but that’s hardly-”
I interrupt her, “Ha! I beat him.”
“Except I’m pretty sure he didn’t want that title.” For someone who isn’t talking to me he should really stop talking to me. Not that I’m going to give him that advice.
“Yeah but the whole purpose of Torchwood is to stop the Doctor and I still beat him for public enemy number 1.”
“Why is Torchwood-” Martha doesn’t know?
“Queen Victoria thought he was childish.”
“Oh so she met him then.” Jack and I laugh at her response.
“Jack-”
Still whining?
“I’ll explain later guys. It’s too complicated for one sitting and especially when I know these two will drop in their own comments.”
I’ve been gradually edging closer to Jack throughout all this nonsense and I put my arms around his waist from behind and lean in to kiss his neck but the stubborn git pulls away.
“I told you I was mad at you.” I can see a smile at the edge of his scowl.
“Actually you just told me to shut up and that you weren’t talking to me. You’re ding very well at that.” I’ll wear him down bit by bit. And this banter is even more fun than usual with the goggle eyed looks from his staff. Especially the blatant violent jealousy being held back in his boyfriend’s eyes.
“No kissing. And before you say it no sex or touching either. In fact, go stand on the other side of the Hub.”
“Spoilsport.” I pout at him but I do move away, stalking across the room. When I reach the railing I lean against it and stick my tongue out at him. I’m teasing Jack but most of my attention is on the pretty Ianto’s jealousy. Or is that Ianto’s pretty jealousy?
When Ianto and Martha go off to retrieve the Doctor from Myfanwy’s nest I finally get Jack alone in his office.
“Still pissed.”
“I don’t get why though.” I’m pouting again but I swear he and Martha always bring that out in me. “I made Martha Queen of the world and locked her parents up in Buckingham palace and she’s managed to forgive me-”
“That’s because it was mostly the Doctor’s ideas. Besides I’m not pissed about that.” I look at him like he’s crazy- which obviously he kinda is, but I like that. “Well, I am but that’s not why I’m not talking to you.”
Okay now I’m just plain confused, “Then why?”
I kinda expect a smile, but what I get is a pained frown and he steps even further away from me. “You didn’t let me remember.” What? Now we’re exchanging frowns. “Have you any idea of the horrible things I said to her? And yeah some of that was my fault but I would have never been so deliberately hurtful if you hadn’t had to have your fun.”
What? What is he talking about? What the hell did he do to my Martha?
“What the bloody hell did you say to her?” I know I’m being growly and possessive, but he’s lucky. Anyone else and they’d already be dead!
“Oh so now it matters? You didn’t think about it at the time. You were so used to getting away with it, one way or another, you didn’t stop to think about the effects on her. Her family… what they said was unforgivable, but instead of getting support from me all she got was more abuse. I really hope your little game was fun.”
I’m… I hurt Martha? I hurt Jack?
On purpose would have been one thing, but like this. I made Jack hurt Martha.
“I didn’t think about it. I’m not really used to planning for other people’s reactions. Unless its purposely negative.”
“But you do care?”
How can he question that? “Of course I care!”
“That’s not an of course…” He actually looks pained, weary.
“What?”
“Her family gave her an ultimatum and if you make her regret her choice I’ll make you regret it.”
“Threats? Does the flirting mean your not upset with me anymore?” I try to lighten the mood, I don’t like all this emotional nonsense.
“I’m serious.”
I put my hand on his arm, “So am I.” Okay so I can do some emotional responses.
I lean in, going for a kiss, not passionate but…
The Doctor, bouncing and disgustingly energetic as usual, comes bursting through the door followed by Martha and more jealous Ianto looks.
I don’t enjoy them so much as I’m looking for signs of pain in my wife but all I can see is amusement at her fully grown adopted son.
“Hello Jack!”
Great he’s forgotten his inside voice again.
Jack just smiles indulgently and barely even winces at the Doctor’s shout. “Hello Doctor. Have fun with Myfanwy?”
“Yes. She’s adorable!” Okay now he’s wincing along with the rest of us.
He’s also glaring at Martha, “You gave him sugar didn’t you?”
“He’s a grown man and for all it feels like I’m now a mother I can’t stop him! Besides he bought it himself.”
They continue bickering about the care and feeding of pet Doctors, and Martha dropped Mags in it for the caffeine overload.
The Doctor moves up beside me, “Ianto keeps glaring.” He whispers at me. And he actually manages a whisper.
“He wants Jack.” I answer, also whispering and keeping an eye on my lovers and one on Jack’s jealous lover.
I do catch the Doctor frowning out of the corner of my eye though. “I thought Jack was yours.”
“He is. I’m trying to decide whether or not to share.”
Theta just nods. The version trusting his Master’s word as gospel.
