Only slightly alarmed at the quick change that the lot seemed to take on in a moment Jack wondered if Hiro himself had to put it all back the way it was, or if there was another force at work as well. Of course the thought of him frozen in one moment for a while was a bit unsettling, even if it only took a second to him. He knew how time worked... and it wasn't right to simply use it in such a way. But who was he to say that really... all the travel he did in his day... and with the Doctor.
Jack saw a man, broken barely able to stand of his own merit and he saw himself for a moment. The moment he realized the Doctor had left him... the moment he realized his life was his forever... the moment that Jack realized he should live... all of it seemed like just the surface of something so much deeper that Adam was dealing with. Rather than stand there in slight defiance of what he had to witness, Jack moved to Adam placing a hand to his for a moment, "I didn't fly all the way out here to dig you up, and leave you behind. Right now neither of us are even capable of sorting through the mess that this made, and I for one haven't even the faintest clue where to even start." Jack paused, "I take that back, I know the way to start is for you to come home, away from here... away from this. The rest will come, in time... there's always going to be time for it Adam."
It was a slight tease, just enough to feign a smile from Jack, and just enough to be earnest enough to be the truth. They could fight over it for a hundred years and still have another hundred to make up for it all... one day... just one day, one choice was nothing for now.
