Kobra Kid sighed, before-
"Who's this?" Jet Star seemed to appear right next to Kobra, making the blond one jump back in surprise. Jet was not amused, his hand on his blue raygun as his one eye narrowed in on Jack. Kobra rolled his eyes, sighing once more at his friend's antics.
"This is Captain Jack Harkness. Or Jack. I guess." Kobra said, pointing towards Jack.
"He's not BLI, right?" Jet asked, still staring at Jack with distrust. He wasn't one to trust so easily, which was an advantage and a disadvantage, depending on how you look at it.
"Most likely not. This 'Doctor' seems to know him, so we have reason to not be hostile." Kobra said, putting more emphasis on the last part of his sentence. Jet let out a long breath out of his nose and took his hand off of his raygun.
"Jet Star. Or just Jet." Jet said with a cocked eyebrow, making Kobra roll his eyes.

"Nice to meet you, Jet," Jack beamed, sticking out a hand, but he didn't get a chance to acquaint himself with the man before a now awake River was suddenly hugging him. He was confused for a millisecond, but then he broke into a smile, giving her a kiss too. "Hi Riv!" The Doctor glanced in between the two, and then asked, "You know my wife?" "Your wife?" Jack asked, immediately removing his hands from River, "uh, yeah, kinda." "That's interesting," The Doctor remarked, eyebrows shooting up as Jack flushed. Eleven didn't understand what was going on. Jack cleared his throat, turning back to Jet, "Anyways, hi."

"Hello." Jet Star said, his eye flitting over to the curly haired woman before back to this 'Jack'. He kinda wanted the other Killjoys back soon, as he did feel more comfortable around the others when Party Poison and FUN Ghoul were around. But they were out having fun, so Jet ignored it. "Where are you from?" Jet asked, itching above his eyepatch as he stared at Jack.

"Boeshane Peninsula," Jack replied, sticking his hands back into his pockets as Jet didn't shake either of them, "a human colony, about five-hundred lightyears from Earth." He shrugged one shoulder. Hadn't been there in years, but that was besides the point. "Where are you from?" He looked human, but you never knew.

Jet Star was starting to get annoyed with these people, thinking that they thought they were special because they weren't from Earth. "The Zones. Right smack dab in Old California on Earth. Yeah I'm human. But I still could strangle you like any other person." Jet hissed, staring right into Jack's eyes. Kobra Kid gave him a worried look as he saw Jet's hand wrap around his raygun.
"Jet. Stop." Kobra said, Jet rolling his eyes and flitting them elsewhere. Kobra sighed and crossed his arms. "He has a temper." Kobra said to Jack, his straight line of a mouth slanting downwards.

"Oh could you, big boy?" Jack asked, still smiling that blindingly white smile as he crossed his arms over his chest. His eyes flickered to The Doctor, who was smiling as well. Jack knew he got their little inside joke. "Well, I mean, go ahead." At that, he uncrossed his arms, stepping forwards just a little with that same haughty grin stretched across his features.

"You better not." Kobra Kid growled at Jet Star, shooting Jet a nasty look, seeing his friend put one foot in front of himself towards Jack. He wasn't going to let anything happen here, not under his watch. Jet glared at him, his eye piercing as he stepped back, not wanting to feel the wrath of Kobra. He was actually quite terrifying when he wanted to be. "There will be another Drac or something to get on your nerves. You can strangle the life out of them. I don't really care." Kobra said, and Jet nodded, his hands balling into fists and releasing, that motion repeating a couple times.

Jack crossed him arms again as Jet stepped back, that stupid smirk still glowing on his face. He didn't push it though; he changed the subject, looking over his shoulder with a simple little, "Cute fire. How long have you guys been here?" "Less than a day," The Doctor replied, eyeing Jet as he watched Jack turn and walk towards the fire, "we don't know where here is, unfortunately.

Jet Star sighed, really wanting his friends to return from the clearing, his ears still picking up the distinct rumbling of the engines on their bikes as they no doubt raced each other around, having as much fun as they could possibly have. It had been a while now, so they should be coming back soon, Jet thought as he walked over and sat in his dirt soot, Kobra Kid sitting next to him.
"They've been gone for a while..." Jet noted, and Kobra nodded.
"They'll be back. I know they will." Kobra said, trying not to succumb to the doubts that hung around in the back of his mind.

"They're fine," The Doctor grumbled as he sat back down. Jack had stripped out of his coat to sit on that, perched at the opposite side of the fire from Jet Star and Kobra Kid. He didn't feel like dealing with that. "You two never told me and River about the show," the Time Lord then continued, propping his chin on his hands again as he waited.

"Oh! Excuse me, kinda forgot to tell you on the way here." Kobra Kid said, coughing slightly in slight embarrassment. "So, I don't remember all too much from the show, but I know it was terminated in 2012 along with most everything else. Started sometime in the 1960s, and had a pretty good cast. This River," Kobra verbally gestured to River. "Was indeed the Doctor's wife in the show. The Doctor had to go through regeneration or something every couple of seasons, and the show had a pretty huge fanbase. It was a good show when I wasn't too busy watching it behind the cough in between my fingers." Kobra said with a laugh, Jet Star looking at him with confusion on his face. "Poison will be able to tell you a lil more, but obviously he isn't here at the moment." Kobra said with another laugh, looking around comically for the firey redhead.

"But I'm The Doctor," the Time Lord said, glaring at Kobra through the flames, "what did I have? Spiky hair? Glasses? Pinstripe suit? Or was it the baldish one with the big ears and the jacket?" Why would anyone be watching his life? His life was horrible. Not boring, but not exactly fun. It gave him a weird feeling that someone would do that... watch him like that. It made River uncomfortable too, as she exchanged a glance with him, and then with Jack, who looked like he wanted to say something but was holding it in. She didn't blame him. She was confused too.

Susie hadn't said a word since Jack showed up, instead just watching and listening, and she wanted to continue to do just that. But the idea that someone could have been watching her whole life disturbed her. "No one else was in one of these...shows...right?"

"I think the spiky hair Scottish dude. It was barely into the new generation before the show was shut down, and burning in flames." Kobra Kid said, adjusting his jacket and frowning. "Again, if Poison can remember anything, he'll tell you." Kobra said. Jet Star was very confused.
"What?" He whispered, and Kobra snorted.
"A show from Before." Kobra said, and Jet narrowed his eye as he stared into the fkames, grunting in acknowledgement that Kobra said something. This was very weird to him.
"In Doctor Who? Yeah there were more people." Kobra answered. "But there were tons and tons of other shows, so who knows. I might have been from a show. Or a comic. Or something. I know I've been on countless wanted posters." Kobra said with a laugh, Jet chuckling along.

"Well, I think I was in his," Jack said, jerking a thumb at The Doctor, smiling kindly at Susie. He didn't seem too fazed by her appearance. "But I don't know you." He extended a hand and said, "Jack." "How can I be a show?" The Doctor was saying, meanwhile, running a hand through his hair, "that's insane. Like, literally, River, my entire life. That's not okay." He could feel his brain doing flips and tricks again, trying to make it something logical.

"Well, it's possible. And I'm not exactly sure about your entire life, maybe the last 50 or so years of your life?" Kobra Kid said, picking at some sand caked on his red jacket as he thought. "With the weird time thing going on, it is possible. As I said." Kobra said, Jet Star still kind of wondering what was going on.

"If you saw pinstripes it's been the past... the past eleven-thousand years of my life, give or take a few," The Doctor grumbled, running a hand down his long face and tapping his long fingers on his knee. How was that even possible? "How is that even possible..." he said that out loud. Oops. It was fine. No one knew anyways, not even him. He didn't know if he cared to.

"But don't fret. The rest of the rebels don't know what we're talking about, for example Jet over here," Kobra Kid jokingly pointed at Jet Star, who glared back at his friend. "And the people back at Battery City definitely don't remember. Most of them are robots anyways." Kobra's voice grew slightly somber as he said that, biting his lip as he tried not to think of the Hell in which Battery City was.

The Doctor gave a small nod. He still didn't like it, but Kobra was right. No one remembered. No one cared. That was a good thing. "So, when do your buddies are gonna be back?" he asked after a minute, poking a log farther into the flames with the tip of his big rubber boot.

Susie had gotten ready to shake Jack's hand, but before she actually did, she turned to Kobra Kid and tilted her head. "What? You humans have robots? That must be wonderful! I bet-" she stopped herself as she remembered what she had been doing. "Sorry, Jack..."

"Oh no. These robots are programmed for evil." Kobra Kid said, Jet Star perking up at something he finally understood. "Well, not really. Used for evil though. But, you'll only understand if you are Battery City yourself, which trust me, I hope you never step foot in that Godforsaken place." Kobra said to Susie, his frown falling downwards.
"Oh!" Kobra said, Jet smiling finally as he heard the rumble growing closer. "They should be here in a couple. You hear that rumbling noise?" Kobra said, his lips turning upwards into a smile. "That's them."

"Yeah, well, I figured. If it wasn't them I would've been concerned," The Doctor replied drily, looking towards the trees where the rumbling was coming from, "you kids sure like your bikes." Jack looked over at him at that, asking, "Hey, Doctor, how old are you now?" "Uh... two-thousand something, probably." "I'm older than you," Jack chuckled, "I just hit six-thousand." "And you don't look a day over thirty," River quipped.

Susie sighed and shook her head. "Too many people have used robots for evil. The Haltmann Works Company would never do such a thing." She sounded like she had said that exact thing quite often.

"Well, it's the main sort of transport on the Zones, besides the Trans-Am of course. I honestly don't know where that is though." Jet Star cut in, rolling his eye as he grumbled with annoyance, feeling kinda of left out in their conversation, even though it was a stupid feeling.
"I'm starting to think we're the most boring people here." Jet said to Kobra Kid, who shook his head and sighed.
"Hey, we're interesting. We're not some Battery City zombie who lives their lives taking some pill and doing whatever the higher up wants them to, and doing nothing with their life." Kobra said, and Jet nodded. "We're Rebels. Killjoys at that. We make a life out in the desert were no other man dare to go. Our lives are indeed interesting, because we make it something." Kobra said, patting Jet on the back. He did have some really uplifting things to say sometimes. "And even if we are ghosted, out there in the desert, our shadow lives on without us." Kobra said, making Jet feel a little better. Even if he liked to deny it, Jet did get hurt at the weirdest of things. But Kobra made it better.
(Should Poison and Ghoul get in trouble?? Just to add suspense or something)

There was silence among the four on the other side of the fire for a moment, before Jack said with that stupid grin, "Well, I cooked an egg this morning." The Doctor elbowed him. The man snorted. River rolled her eyes. Eleven sighed. "That's not funny," The Doctor mumbled, throwing his arm around Jack's shoulders, something that he rarely did with anyone, especially now. Jack didn't know that though, so he just leaned into him, smiling at the two men across the fire from them.

(Maybe a monster from DW and a S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W?)
Kobra Kid smiled as he saw Jet Star's shoulder relax, his friend feeling better about himself. Kobra smiled back at Jack, patting Jet comfortingly as he leaned into his friend's soft touch. He didn't realize how to tired he was, and was starting to feel it.

(Alrighty, so long and goodnight!)
Kobra Kid and Jet Star just sat there for a bit, listening to the various unfamiliar sounds of a forest. The crackle of the flames, the faint ringing of no doubt bugs, mostly things you wouldn't hear on a desert. Kobra kept an ear out for the rumble of the bikes, his smile widening ever so slightly as it did indeed come closer. Jet Star was falling asleep, laying down near Kobra and curling up. Kobra switched his gaze to his sleeping friend, his gaze soft as he did so.
But suddenly, the rumble of the engines was erratic for a fraction of a second, before it ceased entirely. Faint shouts could be heard, along with a robotic voice...
"Uh oh." Kobra said, bolting up as he drew his raygun. "That's not good." Kobra said, his worry for his friends and brother growing with each passing second.
