This was what he got for taking a breather from all the people and taking a short walk outside the coffee shop. Ianto rolled his eyes.

Another Jack. How many bloody Jacks was he going to have to meet before he knew them all? He'd been in this broken universe for two days and he'd already met four.

"Jack...are you alright?" he asked, taking a few steps towards him.

*The Jack on the ground looks like hell, his coat is in tatters, he's bleeding from a cut near his neck and his face is badly bruised.

He takes a deep breath and says one word*

Daleks.

He ran a hand through his hair. What the hell was a Dalek? The word wasn't enough, he'd met aliens before...and it sounded alien. At least Jack hadn't said Cybermen.

He knelt down, taking his knife out of his pocket and slicing off a length of his t-shirt, bandaging the wound at his neck.

"You're going to have to give me more than that, sir."

*Of course he'd meet a Ianto who doesn't know what a Dalek is*

Exterminate.. *he says struggling to sit up* Above us.

He leaned over, putting a hand behind his head, helping him sit up. He glanced up, squinting at the sky.

"I don't see anything, sir..."

He should called up his Jack on the mobile...let him know what was going on.

*Jack smiles weakly* Blew them up.......shouldn't be a problem anymore.

Missed you Ianto.

He raised an eyebrow. "I very much doubt I'm your Ianto, sir, but I appreciate the sentiment."

Didn't think so.....head is addled TARDIS is hurt.....

"I can see that..." he paused, glancing at the TARDIS. "What do you need me to do...my Jack is unavailable."

His Jack was off preparing for them to leave the planet on vacation.

Hub....please....need Alisa and New York Jack.

"Got it..." he reached underneath Jack's arm and lifted him, grunting quietly. Yeah, he definitely needed to start eating more and working out. "The Hub it is. We just left Alisa and Jack..."

*The Captain nods and tries to carry as much of his own weight as he can as Ianto helps him up*

[Rushes over and kneels beside him]

Jack?!

*The Captain blinks up at the Doctor, he looks like hell, torn coat bloody shirt and bruises everywhere there might be skin showing*

Daleks....whole fleet....stopped them.

[The Doctor's eyes widen at this, of course, of all the universes that are bleeding into each other, at least a few of them were going to have Daleks]

Oh, Captain..

*The Captain smiles weakly*

Only did what you would have done.

There's nothing like a good night being ended by the sight of a fallen friend, both Jack and Alisa run over to help The Captain. Jack points her to go get the First Aid kit, while he goes to check the Captain out. With Alisa now going to get the First Aid kit, Jack kneels besides his older self.

"Okay, now you had a rough night didn't you?"

*The Captain nods painfully and manages to get out one word*

Daleks.......
