ROMANCE ROADTRIPPIN
 Lucky you. For a while, you get to eschew a normal life and see life past your door; you're going on a quest! It could be for personal reasons, for fun, for profit, or to save the world as you know it. In all likelihood, it's the latter, given the natural order of things, but hopefully it's not. Whatever the case may be, you won't be going it alone, however. Whether it's just you and a partner or a true fellowship, you've got people to back you up. You may not all start out as the best of friends, that's true - still, the fires of potential life or death scenarios or the threat of losing your booty draw you closer together, and a friendship forms. With one member of your party, more than friendship grows between you. But wait, you have to defeat the dark lord, find the oldest wand, fight evil by moonlight, create a giant robot, or any other number of tasks. There's no time for this sort of nonsense! Actually, you may push them away because of the mission or due to past wounds that tie into said mission. Maybe, though, you can steal moments to get closer, let a romance blossom...or more.

It's been three months aboard the Enterprise, and Jim knows he shouldn't be entertaining this, but hell, Jack's cute. And Jim has never been the best at impulse control - so they flirt, and Bones warns him about improper fraternization, and Uhura looks at him like she's ready to beat him over the head with a whole thesis on power dynamics - but they don't stop him, and if he's being honest, he's pretty sure that Jack would stop him, if he didn't like it.
The thing is, it's not like this happened because Jim is a Captain. At least, he's pretty sure it didn't, because he doesn't see how Jack would have known who he was, when they met at the academy bar. He hadn't been wearing a rank signifier, and neither had Jack, for that matter. Hell, Jack hadn't even been in regulation plainclothes - he'd been wearing an old, vintage-style jacket, like seriously vintage. But it suited him.
Like he said, Jack's cute. And kind of ripped.
"We need you on detail for the landing party." Jim barely resisted the urge to smirk. He's not sure how Jack was assigned to his crew (when they'd met, at the bar, Jim's pretty sure Jack told him he was in Tactical, not Security, but then again he was kind of buzzed at that point, so he might not be remembering it properly), but he's glad he was. "Dock is at 0500."

Jack's original plan had been to wait the 23rd century out by traveling around and ship hopping from time to time. But then he'd walked into that bar for a drink and well all those plans flew out the window the second he met James Kirk. He knew who he was of course, everyone from this century on knew who he was. What Jack hadn't been expecting was how damm handsome the man was and it had been a very, very long time since Jack indulged himself. So he poured on the charm and flirted up a storm stopping just short of closing the deal because his one rule was not taking advantage of someone when they were buzzed or drunk.
But even after walking away from Kirk, Jack couldn't get him out of his head and so he found himself signing up for Starfleet despite his better judgement and pulling some strings with a friend or two to get himself assigned to the Enterprise. The ship needed a new Head of Security and Jack gladly took the position even though he ran the risk of his immortality being discovered. He knew most of the crew were giving him the hard side eye, but Jack did his job and did it well creating a well trained tight security team that watched the bridge crew's backs knowing they ran the risk of their boss reading them the riot act if they didn't.
This was the first time Jack himself had pulled away team duty and while he was slightly nervous about it he gave Kirk a cheeky salute and nodded. "Yes Captain," he says and he's standing on the Deck at the appointed time phaser clipped to his belt looking every inch ready to watch his Captain's back.

As much as Jim might wish - especially after all these months out in the universe, getting to know Jack - as much as Jim might wish something would happen, he knew Uhura was right. He couldn't make a move, not while Jack was under his command, and if Jack were to make a move, it would be Jim's responsibility to turn him down until a time when it would be more appropriate. Damn.
Doesn't stop him from flirting and wishing, though, because if there's one thing that gets Jim going, it's people who are good at their jobs. And Jack's the best.
"Mr. Scotty, are we ready?" The assignment is diplomatic in nature, but Jim knows better than anyone that 'diplomatic' doesn't always mean 'safe'. Uhura is also coming, for translation, but Spock is staying to man the bridge and monitor from above. Scotty chirps an affirmative from his chair, and Jim crouches on the transporter pad, ready for the beam. He shoots Uhura an excited grin, and then shoots Jack an even brighter one when he can see how she's only barely refraining from rolling her eyes. "Then let's go."
no subject
Jack flashed Kirk a return smile as the transport beam surrounds them and shoots them to the planet. He lands easily and almost at once is scanning the area for trouble making sure to keep Kirk and Uhura in sight one hand resting lightly on his phaser. He's never been a fan on that type of weapon but knows how important it is to use the tech of whatever time period he was living in. "Everything looks clear," he tells them his voice low and soft. He's wise enough to also know you don't insult your hosts by proclaiming in any form that you didn't trust them.
He moves a bit closer to Kirk just in case though. Something is making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and he's learned to trust his senses.
no subject
"Does it?" Jim murmurs back, even as Uhura gives them both a sharp look. He plasters a warm smile on his face, but he can feel the way Jack angles himself - his body language doesn't match his words, or at least that's what Jim's reading there. "Supreme leader! Such an honor."
no subject
Jack smiles at Uhura trying to keep her and Kirk at ease. "Ask me again in an hour," he says quietly to Kirk before straightening up and falling silent. His job was to keep an eye on his crew mates not to put his two cents. The less he revealed about himself the better and that included how many alien languages he could actually speak and understand. Even aliens were prone to slip ups when they thought they weren't understood by everyone in the group.
no subject
The Supreme Leader welcomes them with a wide, shark-toothed grin (no, really, this planet's people have an unsettling number of teeth), and Uhura translates smoothly. Jim nods and tries to look like he's paying attention, even as he can't help the cursory scan he does of the rest of the delegation.
The Supreme Leader beckons them into the grand hall, and Jim accepts, falling into step beside her. He's not entirely sure he likes the way Xenu close ranks around them, but he lets it be, for now.
no subject
Jack feels that sense crawl up the back of his neck, the one that spoke to his centuries of experience. Something was wrong he just couldn't put his finger on what. He glances around carefully trying not to look like he wants to grab his crew mates and bolt out of the room. He mutters quietly under his breath in a language that hasn't been invented yet. Things are about to go south he feels it.
no subject
"We understand you wanted to discuss terms for joining the Federation as a Class L planet, is that correct?" Jim watches as Uhura takes a moment to translate. There's a beat, as they process her words, and then -
"Oh, I don't like that at all." Jim announces when the Supreme Leader starts laughing - and all of her cohorts, too, a high-pitched, keening thing that makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up on end.
no subject
Jack instantly moves body blocking both Kirk and Uhura. He'll get back up again if things go south, they won't. He has a feeling he knows what the woman said but he whispers to Uhura out of the side of his mouth. "Translation please...how deep are we in trouble right now?"
no subject
"I personally would have gone for TARFU." Uhura says coolly, but the way her hands are clenched, betrays just how bad it really is. The Supreme Leader begins barking at them, far too gleeful for Jim's liking, and Uhura's lip curls in distaste. "It was a ruse. They want to capture the crew and enslave them in the phosphate mines."
"She is definitely counting her chickens before they hatch." Jim says, trying out a phrase he's sure Bones would be proud of. "This is bad, huh?"
"Yes sir."
"Officer, tell me you've got an option for us here." Jim can't help the way his hand is hovering over his phaser; he hasn't unholstered it, but he's damn close.
no subject
Jack is marking each exit he can see and even the ones he knows are hidden. Most of the visible ones are blocked and it would take a mad dash to get to the hidden vents he knows have to be here. But if there is anything Jack Harkness is good at it's thinking on the fly. It just means his secret will be out the second he puts his plan into action. "Distraction and dash Captain," he replies quietly, "there is a hidden door behind you both and to the right. As soon as both of you see me move you run toward that door and don't look back. Their focus will be on me not you."
