Prompt: Captains Jack and America meet in the 40s. Steve gets frozen, and Jack waits for him. They meet again in 2012. Set after “Journey’s End”, Doctor Who Series 4.
“How long have you been in the army?”
“Oh, not long.” Jack smiled. “I just enrolled.”
“But you’re a captain…” Steve frowned.
“You bet I am.” Jack smirked.
Steve just raised an eyebrow and looked away, taking a long gulp from his whiskey. “So how long are you in town?”
“However long you need me to be.” Jack smiled.
Steve choked on his whiskey and spluttered, Jack patting him on the back, laughing. “Sorry, sorry…” Steve mumbled.
“First time?” Jack asked.
Steve frowned at him. “For what?”
Jack just laughed and led Steve out of the bar, hopping into a car that appeared out of no-where.
Jack sat bolt upright in his bed. That damn man! Almost 70 years, and no sign of the Star-Spangled man (whom was very open to experimentation). America’s Torchwood facilities, where Jack was staying now, had been searching for a while before they had been taken over by the men in black – SHIELD agents. Star-Spangled Steve was lost. Jack sighed and glanced at his watch – 4am. He groaned, sinking back into the pillows.
…
“Welcome to the Stark Expo!” beamed a hostess. “Champagne?”
“Yes please, beautiful.” Jack winked at her, making her blush.
He swept a glass off the tray she held out to him and walked up the stairs to the main party room. Thousands of people milled about, chatting, swaying to the music that filled the dimly-lit room. Jack made his way over to the large stage and began dancing with a random man, who grinned and danced too. Suddenly, the music stopped, and was replaced by a fanfare.
“Ladies and gentlemen!” boomed a loudspeaker. “Please allow me to introduce… the Avengers!”
The stage began to lower and rotate, revealing a large platform that rose slowly. The fully assembled team stood there – Tony Stark in his Iron Man suit, looking as flashy as ever, Natasha looking annoyed at Clint, who was beaming at all the attention he was getting, Thor was twirling his hammer, putting on a show for the crowd, and Dr Bruce Banner looking quite uncomfortable at the cheering crowd. And right in the middle was –
“Steve!” gasped Jack.
The Star-Spangled man glanced at Jack, sharing his surprised expression. He was about to reply when Tony and Thor flew into the air, setting off huge explosions that masked any noise that might have come out of Steve’s mouth. The crowd cheered, but Jack and Steve didn’t notice. After a lot of hugs and autographs, Jack was finally able to speak to Steve. They walked up to each other, looking each other over.
“You haven’t aged a day…” Jack grinned.
“Neither have you.” Steve raised an eyebrow.
“Ah, well…” Jack ran a hand through his hair, acting humble. Steve laughed. Jack turned serious. “I thought you were dead.”
“Imagine how I felt!” Steve sighed. They stood in silence for a moment, just inches apart.
“Hello! Who’s this?” Tony stomped over to the reunion, still in his suit, glaring at Jack.
“Tony, meet Captain Jack Harkness. We were in the war together.” Steve beamed.
Tony smirked. “Did you get frozen too, old timer?”
Jack smirked back. “Something like that.”
Tony glanced at Steve, who was beaming at Jack like he was a present on Christmas Day. Tony turned a glare on Jack. “Well, Cap’, we’d better get back to our fans.”
“But-“
“Come on, Steve!” Tony flipped his Iron Man mask down over his face as arrogantly as he could with a Martini in his hand and rose into the air. “I’d like to see you do this, Cap’n Jack.”
Jack grinned. “Oh, I’ve got some great tricks up my sleeve, Tin Man. You wait and see.”
Steve smirked, and Tony scoffed, flying over to the bar. Steve followed him, saluting Jack for the first time in 70 years. Jack smiled back.
This was so not over.
Guess what I’m watching and guess who’s going to be crying soon.

(LYRICS)
Hold on a minute
we’re missing something. Oh!
I got the muffins, now we’re set let’s go
Great! Come now ditzy
adventures to be had
who knows what waits out there, oh…
Now as we both go on through
ride through time!
Epic quests are in our destinies!
we always will come to save the day
riding on the Tardis!
we are the knights of time and space
paragons of greatness!
our foes beware, we always strike and fight as one!
You’re one strange pony
and kinda crazy
but even so you’re still my best friend
I’m vary honored
my dear assistant
you’re my dearest friend Ditzy Doo
