Well Hello There
When: Any Time
Where: Anywhere
Who: Captain Jack Harkness + You
You've seen him before, maybe even since you were a child. When he appears, it's always been right there, at the edge of your vision, watching you. Sometimes he says hello in passing as he crosses the street. Sometimes he just smiles when you spot him and ducks into a shop or moves around the corner. He comes and goes from your life, never threatening, never tangible.
Until today.
Today he moves towards you purposefully. He has bright blue eyes and dimples when he smiles. He'd not aged a day since you first started to see him. He smells like the best thing in the world to you. He offers his hand. "Hi. I'm Captain Jack Harkness," he says.

That was her fault. Did this man know?
She picked up immediately on a couple of discrepancies. "I remember the sweets, but that man must've must've been the same age as you, and at Uni, no one there had the name Harkness." She said it like it was some sort of Eureka moment. Liked she caught him in a falsehood. Little did she know.
One other point, "and you know that sounds the tiniest bit creepy? I've been with you a long time." She tried to laugh it off. She didn't do very well.

"Think about it, Jemma." A person's mind was their most valuable asset to him. The rest could come later. You could condition a body and while in some cases you could improve a mind too, there was just something about the way a human was wired that made it far better to start with intellect and work up to the rest.
He would let Jemma come to her own conclusions, but first, he offered her a glossy blue card with a honeycomb logo on it in white, shaped like a T.
"When you're ready, come here." There was only a city and a country on the back of the card. Cardiff, Wales.

She didn't make any pretense of subtlety. "And I go to Cardiff and what? Wander? Visit Cardiff Castle? The Museum? Caerphilly Castle?"

"To find us," Jack said with a grin, knowing she would find absolutely nothing at all about that card except for the address of a particularly lovely plaza with an old glass building on it and an interesting water feature. This dimension's Millenium Centre was intact and not a hole in the ground and Jack was nothing if not a masochist. "If you decide to come, I'll show you what we do. If you don't...no hard feelings, Miss Simmons. But we probably won't meet again."
He offered her his hand for a shake and nodded. He had a few others to go and see still but perhaps she'd come to find them all and then...well, he'd have the Retcon ready just in case but he didn't think he'd need it.
