"No," Jack admitted with a shake of his head, "we never did. But after him there was Abaddon, and then well I was a bit busy being dead for a week. And after that -and I mean literally right after- there was you. I'd been awake maybe three hours when I heard the TARDIS engines up above. Guess I just let things get away from me. Bilis Manger, his name was, and whoever he was you're right he was advanced; he could step across time, show people visions. He knew just what he was doing."
Jack hadn't thought much about Bilis, but really he was another thing he ought to feel guilty of. The team had been through a lot then, and he'd abandoned them without a thought.
"You know," he said with irony in his voice, "Gwen asked me what would have swayed me. What vision. And you know what I said? I said you. The right kind of Doctor."
He shook his head. Little did he know then how things would change.
The smell was still there, stronger than before and even harder to ignore. "Oh great," he sighed sarcastically. "So you're saying it can pick up on anything in the mind that might trigger?" He spun again, quickly.
