A sigh escaped Jack as he looked down at the quickly filling bunker, the wind howled around them a deafening roar of the coming storm. Families rushed passed desperate to get they're loved ones into safety, Jack stood off to the side splitting his attention between the line of people and the brilliant display of lightning behind them.
After over fifty years of walking the slow path Jack found himself to feel half asleep, it was always the same each day filled with the same meaningless tasks. This life was nothing compared to the one he had known before, but there was no escaping it the slow crawl back to a time when he could find the Doctor and Rose kept Jack pressing on. Still he ached to feel as alive as they had made him feel.
Blue eyes glittered reflecting back the shock of lightning on the horizon and Jack found himself captivated by it. The threat of the storm surrounding him, the fear and panic of the humans seeking shelter cloaking his tall frame. His heart beat a little faster adrenalin seeping into his veins at the approaching danger, it was familiar, welcomed, even comforting.
A smile touched Jack's face as he silently stepped away from the shelter. Pushing hands deep into his coat pocket Captain Jack Harkness strode confidently towards the heart of the storm. Feeling more alive in the face of such savage energy than he had in years. It would end he knew, and life would go back to the way it had been, but at least for a brief moment he could feel his heart truly beating

Jack raised his hands in what he hoped was a sign of peace, a genuine smile touching his face, as he stared down the barrel of a shotgun. The mayor of the town was furious and his constituents standing behind him didn't look any happier.
"Come now gentlemen," Jack began trying to reason with the mob though he was already pretty sure it wasn't going to do him any good. "It was just a kiss..."
"You slept with my daughter! I'll not have her disgraced!" the mayor shouted holding the gun steady on Jack.
The immortal had been afraid of that, the look she had been giving him the day before should have been a dead giveaway that she had marriage on her mind. But he just hadn't been able to say no to those full pouting lips. Jack glanced back over his shoulder the cliff wasn't exceptionally high, though the jagged rocks at the bottom would prove more trouble some.
Jack merely shrugged and jumped back.
Alright so there's the first two...writing hasn't been easy for me right now, but I'm still working on the other 4 ^_~ hopefully it won't take me too long to get them done
