Notes: This is a sequel to Its Own Reward (1/1) by damalan on dwfiction. avon_09 had encouraged damalan to write a scene inspired by the Doctor's comment, "You too, Frank, if you want." Beta-reading it for him, I liked it so much, I begged to let me write the follow-up, which is this. Thanks to both avon_09 and damalan for the incentive and the set-up.

Happy Birthday!

For acampbell:





I hope you have a wonderful day and wonderful year, filled with good Clex - both canonical and fannish. You've been a great friend and a wonderful beta-reader. Wishing you all the good things you deserve.

Torchwood: Captain Jack's childhood...

I was thinking about what we do know and what we don't know about Captain Jack. He appears to be in his thirties and American, but we know that's largely an illusion - he's an immortal of unknown age, presumably from the 51st century - even that leaves room for fudging, since he might have gone to the 51st century from another time.

So do any Torchwood fans here have any theories as to his original background? We know from his comments to the other Jack in "Captain Jack Harkness" that he went to war when young - though we don't know exactly how young. Are there any other clues?

Would would you speculate? Did he choose to appear as an American just to cover the Captain Jack Harkness identity? What kind of a family do you think he came from? A nuclear family? Or something more futuristic and outre? Two parents, or more? Fewer? None? Siblings? Schooling? Was he born on a poverty-stricken post-holocaust world, or did he come from a comfortable middle-class background, or was he a scion of a wealthy ruling class?

Any ideas?
