Spitfires in Spaaaaaace!

When: Masters Wardrobe Plot
Who: Jack Harkness

cjharknesstw/OTA
Where: RAF Airfield

What:

The Doctor had told Jack that there was some alien activity high above the surface of the Earth and that the planet was going to be threatened by a small alien fleet. Jack went to join The Doctor there at the field to do some work on a small squadron of Spitfires to go and deal with the fleet.

"I had a feeling there was more to this." Jack's amused and he puts on the last of the finishing touches to the plane that he claimed as his. A message was sent out by The Doctor for anyone with any flying skills to come join him on the field. It was easy enough to get on the field and Jack was excited to get out there. There were refitted flight suits that would allow the team that will be going up to breathe and survive in space if they got shot down thanks to a trip in the TARDIS.

(OOC: Group thread if anyone is interested in doing group thread actiony fun times. Feel free to make a second thread or do a group thing. The Doctor can take some people into the mother ship to help sabotage it while others pick apart the escorts.)

"If I am late for my wedding, you're a dead man, Jack." Why, why, WHY did Liz have to make a snarky comment to Owen about her not having to use those skills she learned when she and Alisa to piloting lessons? She should know better than to tempt fate by now.

Jack was busy helping Alisa into the flight suit he got for her and Jack perk's his head up. "Wedding? I think we can make it on time for the wedding Liz." Alisa had vanished into her plane to get things ready.

"What? You don't think this is remotely exciting?" Jack's confused and he points to the lockers. "You're going to want one of those. Trust me, Owen is completely okay with this." Please don't mind the fact it does indeed smell of lust and lube in the hanger.

Of course it smells mostly of Jack and one pheromone explosion, Alisa pokes her head out from the cockpit of the plane she claimed as hers. "I'm going to echo Jack's question. You're getting married here and now?"

"Did someone just say wedding," asked the eldest Jack poking his own head out of his claimed plane, "would a calmly said now is not the time be heard or not?"

Jacklyn rolled her eyes. In the short time she'd been here she had to wonder about her male counterparts. "Probably not. Its a wedding. Not a shopping trip." She called from her plane. Jacklyn peered at the woman.

Every single person within glaring distance gets one from Liz. "What?" Liz snaps as she gathers up the gear she's going to need. "This is supposed to be a vacation. Vac-ca-tion. She says sharply. "People get married on vacation all the time. It's not MY fault we've got a mission."

Liz shoots her boss a very hard look. "Right, because I'm sure you have Owen an option to have an opinion about this." She's not happy about on this. " Besides, someone went missing and made us have to push off the last wedding." OK, that's not entirely true but Liz isn't in any mood for details. She scowls at Alisa, then points at the Captain. "And you. Don't even say a word about me in a dress, you got me. Not. One. Word."

And now's the time to find a damn plane and do a damn mission when she's on her damn vacation. DAMN IT!

She's probably making the best impression on the new girl here, isn't she? Liz is even bitchier than usual. Wonder what that's about.

"Yes, this was to be a vacation, I know and I'm sorry about this one," Jack's voice has a bit of annoyance in it at The Doctor. "I was enjoying being you know settled and enjoying normal." Jack goes to get his helmet and he stares at the thing that's going to mash down his hair. "You're still going to get married. You're going to now have something to add to the list of stories to tell Robbie when he's older."

He's going to look over at his female self and he rubs the back of his neck with a gloved hand. "That was so not my fault." He wanders over towards his plane of choice and likely one he wouldn't give to anyone else for that matter.

"You're right. Not a word about her in a dress." Jack says teasingly, to The Captain as he goes to clean up the inside of the plane first. "Really, Liz we'll have your wedding. Right now this isn't exactly the right time for it. Wait. When is this wedding? It's not today is it?"

Alisa goes to play with the ipod she rigged up in her plane to listen to 'Weapon of Choice' while she waits for Liz to kill both Jacks. "We haven't even left the hanger yet and already you're going to get killed you two." She'll try to be the method of sanity.

She lowers the music and she looks down at Liz. Maybe those flying lessons were a very big mistake. "I'm going to say one thing. I think The Doctor could of handled this one."

The Captain rolls his eyes at the group. "What," he says trying not to sound peeved himself. "All I was going to point out was the fact that we are trying to stop aliens.....shouldn't that be first on the list."

Alisa's music choice gets him humming for a while until it gets turned down. "I was just trying to be the voice of reason."

"You must understand the mind of a woman on the verge of getting Married. Wedding greater than all other things. Meaning! No. On her list its next to do. Really...." She explains calmly as she pulls her hair up into a high pony tail. "It also means that it doesn't matter if its today, tomorrow or the third tuesday of next week." She bobs a nod before looking over at Alisa. "And yes he could of. Most definitely." She grabs her own helmet.

Liz can hear them all as she gets ready. "The Doctor could, but he won't, because he thinks this kinda shit is FUN!" She interjects as she continues to rant. "You know what he did to Owen and me when I was pregnant? Spiders. Giant spiders. He thought we'd like doing that." And in truth they did but Liz seems to have forgotten that.

"You wanna lead this clusterfuck be my guest." Liz snaps when The Captain points out that they probably should put the needs of the whole universe before their own. Again. Liz makes her way back to the group and glances at the 'new girl', then actually smiles. "See, she gets it." Liz says simply.

"Now let's get this mission out of the way. I need to find the right shoes yet."

"I do understand the mind of a woman on the verge of getting married. I know she's supposed to but nobody has sent me an invitation," Jack teases, as he pops out of his plane. "Okay, we've got a wedding to rush home to. Let's get out there and this isn't going to turn into a cluster fuck."

Jack waits for everyone to settle down. "Ask Alisa about what he did to her while she was pregnant. Trust me, I love the man but sometimes..." Jack sighs, and he wonders what got into Liz's pants besides getting married. "If you're wedding is tomorrow. We'll be home before the night's over. We've got an invasion to prevent. Think of it this way, you're stopping something from fucking up your wedding Mrs. Harper."

"We're coming home. That's all there is to this. Oh, if you run into any Nazi planes on the way up there or back. Feel free to shoot them down. Churchill is being kind enough to lend us the planes and the airbase for this mission." Jack goes to give a run down of what they're going to face as he makes sure his flight suit is on right. "The Doctor's already up there in the TARDIS. He's dealing with the mother ship. Once she's gone we'll have clean up work with her escorts. These planes don't have standard bullets either. We've managed to use some future tech to upgrade them to make them able to handle what's up there." Jack continues and there's a devious smile on his face. "The most important thing is, be safe up there. We'll have radio contact and maybe we should have call signs."

She turns the music off once Jack was ready to get people organized and she leans out of he plane. "Its your balls if you don't get us to the church on time." Alisa's going to stick up for Liz on this matter. "Its everyone's ass if we don't save the Earth this time. I'm not about to have one big mess happen if my grand parents are killed."

She shuts up until Jack's done talking. "Okay, that clarifies it. We're clean up." Then there's the idea of call signs. "A call sign eh? Sorta like Maverick and Goose.." She lowers her head to look down at the advanced controls in the cockpit. "Mhm. Something dangerous with lots of rowr. Black Cat works."

The Captain nods. "Jack will hurt me if I'm late for the wedding, he wants another dance," he says his tone turning affectionate as he talks about his current companion.

He checks his instruments one more time. "Just call me Old Man," he says with a grin, "since I'm the oldest Jack for the moment and Captain should go to the one of us leading this mission."

"Liz is it? I'll personally make sure you get back in one healthy piece." She salutes the woman before looking at Jack. "No offense to the Doctor. I love him to bits. But for a time lord his sense of timing is screwed." Jacklyn nodded.

She smiles. "I'll use my old one from World War 2. June Bug." Cause lets face it. When you are immortal you do some crazy ass shit to protect your squadron.

"Oh don't be stupid, Boss. We didn't print invitations!" She rolls her eyes, taking her bosses good natured teasing as anything but good natured. The defense that she's making sure her wedding will be safe does appeal to that inner bridezilla she didn't even know she had. "Good...point." Liz nods before listening to Jack's instructions. "Anything but Sparky." Liz asks. Which means of course that will probably be the name she gets stuck with.

She smiles at the new girl in thanks. "You don't have to do that, but thank you." Liz suddenly feels like she needs to be less....herself.

"Good to see the two of you are getting along with one another," Jack says, about The Captain and Jack with a smile on his face. Then he shoots a look to Alisa and he looks hurt. "Gee, thanks for sticking up for me." His tone is teasing and he goes to finally settle himself down in his plane.

"Captain works fine. But we're going to make sure you're safe Liz, you can count on us for that." Jack thinks for a bit. "I think you just volunteered to have yourself dubbed as Sparky or Bridezilla."

Jack gets a message in from The Doctor and he goes to hold a hand up. "The Doctor's ready, let's go for a flight."

"The Doctor's sense of time is horrible. At least he landed us in the right spot this time," Alisa says to Jacklyn, and she plays with the controls in front of her. "Keep digging yourself a grave my wonderfully charming husband."

She looks over at Liz and she mmms. "Hot Stuff? Fireball?" At least the offered call signs aren't Sparky and Bridezilla.

"Please don't kill Jack, Liz he means well but I think the sex gets to his brain sometimes."

The Captain coughs and goes silent for a while content to just listen to the good natured ribbing of Liz. "Princess." he offers as a call sign when the issue comes up.

"She's going to kill ever last Jack in this room." Jacklyn muttered. "Probably including me." She shook her head before offering up her own suggestion. "How about Dragon?" Her hands flicked over the controls with remembered ease.

Liz narrows her eyes at both the Jacks. Well, both the males Jacks. "You two do remember that you're not fireproof, don't you?" She asks as she points between the two of them.

Alisa's suggestions are better and Liz sighs. "I'm not killing anybody. I don't do that." She knows Alisa's kidding but the accusation still hurts a bit.

Then the final suggestion actually makes her smile. "That. I like that." Liz beams a bit.

"We gonna do this or what?"

Jack's ready to go and he looks at Liz. "Okay, we'll call you Dragon. I'm ready to go." Jack's been ready as he sits himself down and he goes to taxi the plane to the runway. "I know you won't kill me. You can take all of that out on the aliens that are looking to invade Earth and ruin your wedding."

Jack's going to sit there on the runway to wait for everyone else to join him there. "I wonder if I'm the only one who's excited about this entire thing?"

"Princess is going to result in a knee to the groin Captain," Alisa teases, and she looks up at Jacklyn. "Nah, she won't kill anyone."

When Jack gives the go ahead she sits herself down. "You're having a good day today Jack." She laughs and she goes to taxi the plane she's in behind Jack's. "I'll get to tell her children one day I got to fly an airplane into space."

The Captain laughs. "Just missed that knee," he says. He settles in his plane and does one more check. "We are all are going to have stories to bring home once this is done."

"And I'm the crazy one?" Jacklyn asks, chuckling, taxi-ing to her own position. "But he's right. Taking down the bad guys is a fine way to take care of pre-wedding jitters. And don't worry Old Man...if you still want it I'll be happy to do it for her." She jokes easily before looking down at Alisa. "I figured."

Not that any of them could be...

Oh dear.

She looked over at Liz before clearing her throat. "So what was the Doctor's plan again?"

"He didn't tell me. Ask one of those guys. They're the 'leader'" Liz gestures between the two Jack's ignoring the comments about how she's burn, punch, kick or otherwise harm anyone who continues to give her shit.

She wouldn't.

Maybe

"The Doctor's going to be bringing the shields down on the mothership. We're going to take her out along with her escorts. We just need to make sure our beloved Time Lord isn't on board when this happens." Jack speaks through the radio to everyone.

He looks behind him to make sure that everyone is there and ready to join him. "Let's get going before he gets himself killed."

(OOC: Handwave travel times! And thread bump for Eleven.)

"Captain! I hope everyone is ready because I'm about to bring those shields down. You should have enough time to shoot her down. I would do it myself but I've got a problem..." The Doctor's a bit bothered that they dumped the TARDIS out into space. "The TARDIS. Anyway, that's not much of a problem. I've got a space suit and I just need to find the airlock." He's hustling to get the suit on and he's likely got the helmet on backwards. "Ow! Now I just need to navigate myself from out of the ship while you shoot her down before they get their shields back up."

The Doctor can be seen by the arriving help floating in space towards a wayward spacesuit. He's able to survive for a bit in the vacuum until he can get in the spacesuit.

Edited 2012-03-01 00:41 (UTC)

He's not about to question able the old plane was able to make it into space, but he's going to question The Doctor's sanity as he watches the Time Lord hurtle into space after a spacesuit. "I don't plan to ever have him forget that one." He talks into the radio and he pushes the throttle up and off he goes towards the big spaceship that's lingering in the distance.

"We're going to work as a team in bringing her down." Jack tells the others as he looks back to make sure everyone's okay and that The Doctor's not going to make an even bigger splat. When he's sure The Doctor's just fine he punches the throttle and he heads in to the small invading alien fleet. "I'm sure they were given a chance to surrender so there's no need to play nice."

Alisa looks behind her to see the Earth behind her and she's amazed at what she's seeing. Then she turns her head to focus on what's in front of her. "I don't think I'll ever get over this." She watches The Doctor come spilling out into space and she quirks her eyebrows.

She waits for any orders from Jack and she wonders if someone should make sure The Doctor's not going to be in any danger. "Holy..." She says, as she continues her course towards the mothership. "That thing is huge. No wonder we're here to make sure it ends up in tiny pieces that will burn up nicely in the atmosphere."

The Captain laughs at the sight of Eleven floating in space then his attention is pulled to the ship and he whistles. "This one might need a team up attack, even with shields down."

"Doctor.." Jacklyn shakes her head. "I think he gets more and more insane with each regeneration." She looks to the mother ship and grins. "Well. You know what they say right? Bigger they are!"

The Doctor will be struggling to get into his spacesuit before he enters the Earth's atmosphere. He's lucky that he drug his lucky spacesuit along with him. "Go get them team. The Cybermen should be neutralized and I just need you lot to get rid of that ship."

He's then gone with a face full of Earth and eventually dirt when he impacts with the ground.

"A ship full of misguided Cybermen? Now this is a battle I like!" Jack says, with a mock drawl and he turns the plane to head in the direction of the spaceship. "I think he's starting to have fun with himself. Good luck Doctor. We'll be down to get you later."

They're not going to be alone as small pods leave the ship and the sky begins to light up with gunfire. "Alright, team we've got company and the Cybermen aren't going to make this easy on us. Old Man, Cat and June Bug we're going to make sure Princess gets home safe for that wedding of hers."

Alisa watches The Doctor tumble. "Come on guys, he's getting a bit crazy in old age. They don't have a senior home for Time Lords do they?" Cybermen. Alisa groans. "I hate Cybermen.." The sight of the drones and the guns from the big Cybership lighting up the sky make her eyes go wide.

She keeps her plane close to the others and she gets ready to defend Liz from any of the drones that get close to her. "This is a lot different then flying a plane to Rome. At least its something we're used to dealing with."

The Captain winces in sympathy as he watched the Doctor tumble towards the ground. "Been there," he says and then turns to face the ship with a low whistle.

"Is it just me or are the Cybermen adding more and more useless junk to their ships just to mess with our heads."

He moves in closer to the other side of Liz's ship ready to protect her open flank. "Ready when you are Cap," he says.

Jacklyn edges her plane into position. "Not yet Cat but if this keeps up we may have to open our own just to keep the Doctor from killing himself." She shook her head. "I'd hate to see how he acts in his next regeneration...though knowing his luck he'll end up looking 10 or something." The woman pauses. "I sincerely hope he doesn't regenerate cause of this..."

She peers at the Cyberman ship and before snorting. "Now that you mention it..." Jacklyn grins.

"Ready and willing Captain." There's a small giddy edge to her voice.

The cyberpods begin to close in closer to the spitfires and Jack can almost be heard smiling. "I don't think I need to give you guys an open invitation to shoot these guys down." He pushes the throttle of his plane and he begins to break off to see if he can knock out any of the pods before they become a potential problem.

"Whoever shoots the most down gets to buy everyone drinks." Jack jokes and he opens fire on the pod and he manages to take two of them out before the rest of them eventually scatter. The ten remaining pods are quick and they begin advance towards the rest of the team.

Alisa's going to go help provide Liz some support, she knows if anything happens she won't exactly die out here. "I think you're right Old Man. I'm waiting until they start making gigantic Cybermen again. Nonono let's not give them idea."

She feels for The Doctor really. "I think he maybe built of tougher things than we expected or that spacesuit can withstand anything." She doesn't want to see him regenerate just yet. "Ready Captain, so I guess this means you're going to be the one buying us drinks. Honestly, I suck at play station games."

Her eyes go wide when she's getting shot at by one of the pods as it flies past her. "...Fuck!"

The Captain shoots forward slightly to take out the pod shooting at Alisa. "Time for some focus people," he says calmly, "These guys are going to fight dirty until we are all deleted.

And Cap, I'm gonna take you up on that drink no matter what. We are going to need it."

Jacklyn hummed "Flight of the Valkyries" for a moment as she fired, taking out a couple pods herself. "Ever noticed at all the 'bad' aliens are stupidly predictable? Why can't one of them try to conquer with cookies? Or soft fluffy kittens? Its always an armada and bombs...well or death rays in this case I suppose."

She chuckled. "Cap' if you're paying? I want Hypervodka. I miss my old emergency protocol. Remember? 417?"

"Alright guys let's show them a thing or two." Jack goes to pick off another pod before it can take a shot at The Captain. "Hypervodka, I'll need to make a trip back to the 51st century for a bottle." He laughs and he uh ohs when he hears the sound of one of the pods on his back side.

He tries to make an attempt to shake the guy. "A little help guys. I don't know. This one isn't exactly predictable."

Alisa's slows herself down and she goes to take out the pod that's shooting at The Boss. "Heeey no shooting at the boss." Then she hears them all mentioning hypervodka. "Gods no! That stuff is.. I don't have a word for it." She goes to shoot at another pod. "We're all going to be drinking it out of those Red Solo Cups that Liz just loves."

"Amazing," the Captain finishes for Alisa as he swings his ship around to help her take out the pod behind New York Jack. "Brain numbing when you really need it and then some."

Jacklyn lays down cover fire as more the pods come in to attack the group, laughing as she takes a couple down. "A bit of Hypervodka with chocolate liqueur? Oh I'm so there. Oh do you remember the mix Hart use to make? I swear that would make you black out for a day."
