Thursday 12/16/10 - Resurrection

[juliet316]

Well this is my final day as guest host. I hope you like the themes I presented during the truncated week and hopefully I'll do better next time.

Today's theme is Resurrection. Whether it's to revive a character you killed off yesterday, set right a canon death so that a cherished character lives, or rekindling a romance or friendship, let's try to have some themes/stories where something revives.

Just remember to follow the rules
Only three posts per fandom, and only five total. If one of your prompts is answered, you may go ahead and post another.
No spoilers for new shows/seasons until a week after airing.
If your fill is spoilery, WARN accordingly and leave enough space for people to pass on by


Please also honor and respect our codemonkeys by following the formula for posting:


Torchwood, Jack, No matter how many times he revives, it hurts.
Star Trek XI/Star Trek: TOS, Jim Kirk (XI), Montgomery Scott (TOS), when thrown into the original universe, Jim meets a much older Scotty, who looks like he's seen a ghost.
Charmed, Prue and Piper/Leo, Leo managed to save both sisters at the end of "All Hell Breaks Loose."

Of course if today's theme doesn't suit your mood/interest your muses, there's always the Lonely Prompts.

(Sorry, I don’t watch Torchwood. But the prompt was too good to pass up. Hope you don’t mind if I throw it into Dr. Who instead? Sorry.)

No spoilers, unless you haven’t seen Torchwood or Dr Who with Jack at all. In which case, why are you reading this?

There are some things the body isn’t meant to take. A car going ninety miles an hour to the head. A steel beam in the gut. A vacuum for any amount of time. It’s not so much that they can’t, really, but that they shouldn’t. See, when the body gets hit, it tears, it stretches, it breaks. And such reactions mean pain. Well, not really.

See, when someone gets pulled into a vacuum, they don’t really feel it. Because it’s a pretty quick death, one that you aren’t really conscious for. But if you DIDN’T die from it, it’d be really painful. One, the air in your lungs will make them burst inside your chest. Of course, this will cause you to become unconscious after a few seconds, with no oxygen to the brain. Areas where air or other gasses gather, such as your stomach, act in remarkably the same manner. The water starts to leave you very quickly, from everywhere, which makes you swell up FAR more than any person ever should.

In short, your body becomes a mess fairly quickly. And were you not unconscious, or dead, it would be rather painful and leave some rather nasty problems.

They pulled Jack back inside the TARDIS, the poor blue box still crying in what can only be called pain from the attack. How was anyone able to lock on and give the old girl a graze like that?! The missile had flown from the round red ship and hit the corner of the TARDIS, causing it to tilt, the doors to pop open, and Jack to slide right out into space. His momentum had been so quick, it had taken him not only out of the protective oxygen barrier, but a good distance away from the cringing vehicle. With his life, his companion’s life, the TARDIS’ life, in danger, the Doctor had to find a way to avoid the second missile before going back for Jack. A whole minute and thirty seconds had passed since he had slid out of the door before he was pulled back inside.

They knew he’d be okay, so they dragged him under the console where he couldn’t get in the way or slide out again, and left him be. He regained life before his body was fully healed, it always did. And it was always painful. To feel your lungs stitching themselves back together from the shattered bits that were all over your chest, to have your face un-swell as water and gas re-entered your body, to experience your intestines and diaphragm rearrange themselves and let you breathe. By the time Jack sucked in a lungful of air, the pain was starting to go away. But it wasn’t one he was going to forget. How could anyone forget exploding from the inside?
