Suzie had taken to Torchwood with all the eagerness and - glee? yes, maybe that was the right word. Or it'll have the right meaning in a century and a half. 'Course, it has slightly sexual overtones by that time, but then again... Then again, given what Suzie was to him, that was right, proper, and fitting.
She'd known he had healing properties, had jokingly called him her Florida Fountains...(after the reputed site of the fountains of eternal youth, Jack'd learned when he'd tried finding out why she'd said that). Jack could heal himself, she knew that: he laughed at paper cuts.
Never anything as obvious as a bullet going into his brainpan and healing up in less than five minutes. Obviously. Granted.
But the signs were there.
So he stood at her grave at regular intervals, wondering where they'd - ? - where he'd - probably more accurate - gone wrong.
Sometimes, Jack thought, the way to have avoided this whole mess, would have been to not get involved with Suzie. But he knew he couldn't have done that.
Not even to save Time.
