Trying to hide just how much Jack loved watching someone enter the Hub for the first time Jack brought his hand back to Adam's letting it press into it once more as the descent finished and he stepped off the platform. He knew it would take some getting used to, it had for even him and he'd been there for a while now.
"I started with odd jobs. I had a long time to wait for an answer to what exactly I was. I knew I couldn't die by then... stuck in the past with nothing to do sort of situation. Torchwood then was run by a different group. A rather... inquisitive set of women."
Giving Adam the time he needed he continued, figuring that his grip to Adam's hand wasn't demanding, just for reassurance, and should he want to wander he'd be more than welcome to.
"Eventually it became a well known fact that I was something of an asset. They'd send me out, I'd do the job and come back each time. Eventually I was the longest surviving member, if I could have even considered it surviving back then. They offered me a more permanent position. I took it. I still had no answers to how I was the way I was, or if there was even a way to fix it. So I became Torchwood."
Glancing out over it all, Jack sighed, "But really... this is Torchwood. The Hub of it all, work stations, the lounge, my office..." Jack's voice trailed as he caught that look in Adam's eyes once more, "If it's too much I'll stop talking and let it sink in."
