Jack pressed the button on the manipulator and in a flash they were gone. Away from the tower, away from Gallifrey, through the vortex and through the rift. It pulled them through time and space and everything in between

The tug was not fine. The Doctor dropped to his knees and scrunched up his face, waiting for the time distortions to finally calm around him. He adjusted his neck and struggled to fight off the oncoming nausea. He had to go through quite a bit to digest that food block, he wasn't about to lose it now.

"Have I mentioned," he said, irritably. "How much I hate time travel without a capsule?"

Oh, but Jack's grin was infectious. And he was a bit of a genius, wasn't he? Here they were, back on Earth. Right when they should be, or so it appeared at least.

After a few deep breaths, he pulled himself to his feet. "Not bad in a day's work. Well, day and a half's work.

Trying not to laugh (but mostly not achieving it), Jack attempted his straightest face, "Oh once or twice," he nodded, "ohhh come on, it's just like driving with the top down, that's all!"

He smacked him gently on the back and all but giggled before pacing himself over to the open pizza box on the coffee table. Grabbing a slice, he promptly took a large bite and spoke around a mouthful, "Mmm! Still warm!"

He shot him a triumphant grin and walked over to the window, peering around the curtains. "But we still better stay here until tomorrow morning. Still people out there looking for us. Oh there's three of us here now! Well, four of me actually. You want some pizza?"

This time the adrenaline that ran through his system was pleasant in every way.

"In a minute, once my stomach stomps spinning." Driving with the top down, indeed. The Doctor liked driving with the top down in motor vehicles, but he knew better than to try it with the time vortex!

Well, actually, apparently he didn't.

He stepped back around and snatched up the bottle of whisky from before. Still left open, just as he'd left it before he dashed out. He wondered if he would be able to see himself running about. Probably best not to look.

He poured himself a few fingers of the amber liquid. "Four fixed points in time and space wandering about. Not the most intelligent decision, but I doubt the Time Lords will be after us any time soon."

Jack rolled his eyes dramatically, teasing, grinning to him stupidly as he took another bite of the pizza. Oh it felt good to eat something that wouldn't send him mad. Especially pizza!

"Drinking are we, Doctor?" Jack smirked, looking over to him. "Pour me one."

He shook his head and waved a hand dismissively, "I know where they all are. It's fine. And one of them isn't wondering anywhere," he took another bite, "frozen in the Hub. Pretty sure he's there to stay for a while."

Pausing, perhaps for dramatic (or maybe comedic) effect, he looked up and fixed his gaze on a random point on the wall. "Huh. You know I really do get around, don't I?"

He grinned again and laughed, "Oh I think the only Time Lord's wrath I need to worry about is that of the one opposite me. And I think I'm pretty safe there for now."
