Simon had slept in one of the rooms in the safe house Gwen, Rex, Esther and Jack were using. Simon had not seen Jack yet, and he wondered if he had spent the night at another person’s house. He woke up, having another nightmare. They had been occurring a lot in the last few years. This time, the nightmare had been a mix. He had been stabbed on earth, and the miracle kept him alive. Then, a dalek repeatedly shot him. Yet, he couldn’t die. And it had just woken him up with a jolt. Simon got up, only in a black t-shirt and boxers, and went to the kitchen of the house.
Simon remembered what Gwen had told him. Owen had been completely disintegrated by irradiated coolant, and Tosh had been shot by Jack’s psychopathic brother. She had also told him what had happened to Ianto. He had died from a virus by the 456. Simon scrubbed his face with his hands. He had been stuck in a Rassilon time lock until a few weeks ago, and he had come out into the time where nobody, including him and excluding Jack, could die. Grabbing a can of soda, he opened it and drank it. He wondered if Jack was here or not. They had been kind of close before he had disappeared.

Jack was in, of course he was. He had no intentions of leaving one of his good friends alone in a world that had changed to much in such a short amount of time. He wouldn't let Simon run around just yet.
So when he heard feet padding along the floor his blue eyes came off the computer screen. Jack glanced to his left and watched his familiar friend move into the kitchen. His mind clearly still clouded with sleep as he walked right past the couch Jack was sitting on.
This could be fun though. Jack always liked to have the element of suprise. And what would be more suprising than just popping up out of nowhere?
The flirty grin returned to his face as he silently got up from the couch. Sneaking over to Simon who was busy emptying a can of soda. "Good morning gorgeous" The Captain smiled, leaning against the stove behind the door of the fridge. Hidden from sight until the thing was shut.

(OOC: Sure Second Doctor.)
Simon nearly jumped as he heard someone who sounded remarkably like Jack Harkness say "Good morning gorgeous.” Simon closed the door of the fridge, and smiled at Jack. He said “Morning Jack. Long time, no see . I mean, it’s been two years. Ever been stuck in a time lock? It was absolutely boring. I couldn’t leave the house that was time locked for two years, and I was only able to get out a month ago.”
Simon scratched behind his head and he said “By the way, the miracle affected me too.” Simon pulled up his black t-shirt, showing his covered stab wound near his heart. Simon said “I got mugged, and I almost died. The miracle has affected me too. It must have affected every humanoid on earth.” He pulled his shirt down and said “How’ve you been? Me? I have been in bad shape.” Simon cracked his neck a bit and said "I've been brain storming for reasons the miracle might have happened."

Jack instantly smiled at the other his startled face. He didn't mean to scare anyone on purpose...but this wasn't really scary was it? When the other mentioned the time lock a very weird period of his life came bubbling to the surface. "I know what you're feeling" he huffed, stepping past Somin to get a drink. It was still weird to see others not being able to die, Jack knew exactly how reckless it could make you. And seeing the nasty stab wound on such a smooth body was nearly insulting. "Too bad" he uncapped the drink. "We would have made the perfect mortal men together" the flirty grin returned to his face before he took a taste of the foreign drink. Somekind of orange flavored drink. (I'd love you to join have to excuse myself..I've been madly busy with school)

Simon grinned and sat on a chair. He said “For weeks, I thought I was mortal. Until I got stabbed.” Rubbing his face, he said “Do you remember my friend the professor? He was a time lord like the doctor. I have been wondering, if he was here, would he be mortal, or would he be the same as usual? He, and other time lords, are near immortal due to his regenerations.”
Simon said “And compared to a Human Jack, I have a longer life. Three centuries I could live for. If I am lucky that is.” Putting his empty can down, he said “Jack, how have you been? Since the miracle started?” Standing up, Simon walked near Jack and he said “I missed all of you Jack. I missed Owen, Tosh, Gwen, Ianto, and you. You guys were like family to me. When I joined, I told you what happened to my race and family. The War. The last great time war is what caused me to become the last invisiblate in the entire universe. All I can do other than a human is turn invisible, live two centuries longer, slightly higher heart rate and….”
Simon was about to reveal his last great secret about his race. He said “You see, the invisiblates had an additional ability. It is similar to the time lords. I never revealed this before, but I have to now.” He looked directly at Jack and he said “my race were able to do something….Fantastic if they were near death. You see, we were able to cheat death in a way similar to regeneration. It’s not regeneration, it’s just their bodies somehow completely healed by absorbing any energy near them. Even the smallest type of energy, such as kinetic, or even thermal, would help them to heal. And it means, that even without the miracle, to an extent, I’m immortal. The ability wanes when we are close to our three hundred or so. I needed to tell you because if I could replicate it Jack, I’d try and help you retain immortality for even a small while. Its similar to the time lords regenerations, except its unlimited to a certain extent, and for the first fifteen hours i am a bit unstable. ” Simon hugged Jack and said “Thanks by the way. Don't think i am bragging bout my species's abilites. I just thought to inform you.” He smiled a little bit.

Jack listened as the man told him that if possible, he would have made him immortal again. But the mortal man wouldn't want that. Of course, being Immortal had it's positive things. But now that he was mortal life had such a greater meaning.
"I quite like my mortal life" he smiled while taking another sip of his drink. He would hang on to his mortality no matter what. It was brilliant.

(OOC: Sure. Just remember, she may or may not know Simon.)
Simon winced and rubbed his stab wound. He said “Rex must have to suffer the same sort of constant pain. Me, I don’t know if it’s the miracle or my species’ power, but I may have been affected by the miracle. If I have been affected by the miracle, then the morphic field must have been tampered.” He wasn’t even sure if he was mortal due to the miracle, or immortal by it. Simon said “It doesn’t matter how I survived. I did, and I am happy I did.”

Sexy AKA Tardis AKA Idris
"What a dull place...Cardiff...nice air though. Why did I come here? Something strange...Why do I feel so many tortured dying souls...without them dying...It is strange. And there is something strange coming from below," Sexy commented as she appeared in front of the monument that marked Torchwood's entrance. She stomped around a bit and found a panel that took her down to the depths of Torchwood. After a minute, Sexy found herself in a room, a pterodactyl flying over head, and several machines all around. "So you did make it out of the volcano! A little far from home though..." Sexy commented watching the creature fly over head. She then started walking around and playing with wires and switches. Rebbeca Tarks
"dang. Another one. What in the hell is going on?" Rebbeca muttered as she typed away feverishly at her computer. Miracle Day. People who should be dying weren't and Jack was getting injured for real. Not only that but Simon was stabbed and didn't die either. She was about to tell Jack when she heard a strange woman talking, "Hello?"

(OOC: Sure)
Simon rubbed his hands together and said “Okay. I’m sticking with the morphic field idea. If something foreign was introduced to it, maybe that caused the miracle. And there is always the chance that i didn’t survive because of the miracle. Most morphic fields only affect the native species of the planet. I’m not native to earth, so maybe i just survived on luck. I did explain about my species’s ability.” Rubbing his hands together again, Simon heard someone speaking. He said “Hello?”

"Hello Captain Cheesecake, Miss me?" Said Izzy appearing in a flash at Jack and Gwen's secret base. It was classic Izzy to appear out of thin air in a flash with his vortex manipulator when Jack would need his help the most...
He looked at Jack knowing what had happened to his Torchwood team. that Owen, Tosh, Ianto, and even sacrifice his grandson. and he expected Jack to get upset at him for not popping in and saving them like he had that night with the wear-wolf at the Torch wood estate...
But he couldn't, he had to let history... his History happen. he had to let jack age and grow, like a bottle of whine. this was it, the Day he was to Learn who Izzy Smith really was...

Sexy AKA Tardis AKA Idris "Oh! Hello! Do you work here?" the Tardis asked running over to the boy tal;king to her. She seemed like nothing but a mad woman, but she was unaware that she was emanating rift energy. Rebbeca Tarks
"Oi! Someone here?" Before she got an answer, Rebbecaa saw a thing pop up on Tosh's computer indicating rift energy, "We got a live one! Comingg from inside the building here!"

(Small info: This is based on Torchwood Miracle day, Tosh/Owen and Ianto are sadly dead and the Hub has been destroyed. Torchwood is now settled in many different area's ...basicly wherever Gwen and Jack go. I believe they're in a motel room somewhere in America right this moment)
It seemed the morning was getting more exiting the moment two people popped up from nowhere. One very familiar and the other vaguely known. Jack remembered the lady from somewhere, he just couldn't pinpoint from where.
Jack put down his drink and slipped his hands into his pockets. Hearing the voice of Rebecca from somewhere in the house.
The immortal had made sure their Torchwood equipment hadn't been taken from the completely. Always hiding some of the technical and data of his work on a remote place.
And it seemed the laptop he had saved was still of good use.
"Yeah they're in here" he smiled lightly before turning his attention to Simon. "Morphic field?" Jack honestly thought he was ought to know what something like that did. He just didn't. And he would need some explenation for this theory.
The cuddly name Izzy had picked for Jack was still a tad bit bitter. Jack hadn't forgiven him yet for staying away when he had literally asked for him to come. To stay away when he had most needed him.
Jack had been broken after Ianto, and he would have loved a friend to help him. But it seemed his friend hadn't been interested. "Smith" Jack gave him a quick nod before looking at the stranger in the middle of the room "Made some friends I see"

OOC: Sorry, thanks for the heads up. Sexy AKA Tardis AKA Idris "Jack...was it? Been a while!! Oh, you've never seen this form...You're still sexy though. You haven't changed a bit. And nice to meet all of you. Why aren't you in that pretty computer lab you always hang out in?" Sexy asked looking at the shabby hotel in wonder. Rebbeca Tarks
Rebbeca lifted up the laptop she salvaged from Tosh's stuff and started looking around for the source of rift energy. She rounded a corner and saw a shabby looking woman standing there talking to Jack and the others, "Ummm...Jack...Did you invite her? And are you aware of the MASSIVE energy readings coming from her?" [/quote]
