Jack shook his head and muttered something in an alien language about the Hunt's mothers. "I know a guy who can make you a new one once we get out of this mess," he says, "We just need to survive until sunrise. We do that and we win the game and they'll at least let you go."

They steal children sometimes. Colleen doesn't know about this but these aliens of the Wild Hunt will learn no one takes the child of a Garou and lives.

She just doesn't know that's part of why they are interested in her.

"They're after you for something." Colleen isn't going to ask what. It seems private and she doesn't want to pry when tonight is about survival.

"I think we'll manage this. I just need to cover my hair up a bit. It's too red to hide well in winter... plus tonight's a full moon."

Her rage is high. She can feel the many thousands of generations of need to shed blood thudding in her veins. If it was just her she might ambush and kill these shit heels but with Jack she can't risk shifting. There are rules just as old as her rage.

"Might have pissed off the universe a touch," Jack replies, "bounty on my head blah, blah, blah. I had a reason though..my friend was in danger and needed me. So I stole a ship and went hunting.. Not sorry." Jack's tone is firm. He would burn the world for the Doctor no matter what.

"Wasn't expecting to get paired with a werewolf though."

"That's legit," Colleen says after a moment of thinking it over. She had done stupider things before because of course she'd do crazy things for her friends.

The moon is full so Colleen has to suppress the urge to lash out. Being a werewolf is supposed to be a secret. Although the fact she just had to clamp down on her rage is a big clue.

"And you know this how?" Colleen goes from angry to nervous pretty fast. If he knows the Hunt must know.

Jack smiles. "Been around the block a bit," he says, "met alot of the weirder people out there so I know what it looks like when the full moon makes someone itchy and not in the good way. Sorry if I shouldn't have said anything."

"It's nothing." Well that's a lie she sort of regrets already. "Okay. It's just... Here we are being chased by people who may try killing me. I'm also not used to strangers who aren't related to the community knowing."

She shrugs her shoulders very gently before holding up her hands.

"I can handle it though. The universe is a big place."

And some part of her says that Jack is someone she can trust. Wait. That's not her. Damn, the ancestors are strong tonight. Better not clue him into that.

Jack smiles. "I wouldn't have said anything if you didn't look as itchy as you did. You don't need to be afraid to hurt me...I'm tougher than I look I promise."

"I have fairly decent control. I'm just.... twitchier than usual," she admits after a long moment. Colleen is actually pretty good at controlling herself normally. This makes it much easier to use her abilities as a Garou for tactical purposes.

"I'm not used to my Rage feeling this potent even on a full moon. It's weird." She doesn't like it.

"Question....can phermones cause your Rage to "increase....because I give off some pretty strong ones without really thinking about it. Part of my genetic make up," Jack says

"No. I don't think that would necessarily be a trigger. My tribe can do something similar with our pheromones." She has to think about it for a moment then her mouth makes a tiny little 'o'.

"I'm such an idiot. This is the first time I've felt as if my children have been in danger. Of course I'm angry." She had already had to put up with the heartache of their father turning out to be the kind of man she wanted nothing to do with. Now this.

Stabbing someone feels like a great option tonight.

"Ah," Jack says getting the hint. Having been pregnant himself he understand what she's going through. The same thing happened to him and he nearly ripped Ianto's head off while trying to keep the Empresses child safe. Biology can be a bitch sometimes when a child is under threat. "Got it." He moves from his hiding place and body blocks her as he tilts his head and tries to figure out where the Wild Hunt might be. His telepathic abilities aren't super strong, but that coupled with the Vortex has given him a weird sense about magic then most. "I think they are laying in wait up ahead, but I can't be sure."

Pregnancy rage is a thing Colleen hadn't expected to have. She had no idea it would be this powerful but Colleen guesses she forgot the important part about this no one gets angry like a Mother does.

"Let me." Colleen tries to move around him easily but he had unintentionally or not blocked her in a corner. She brushes against him as she steps out and starts to sniff the air. She is trying to detect their pursuers.

The smell is hard to catch due to just where they are. Plus Colleen doesn't want to admit it but the aliens smell just different enough that smelling them is a bad idea for her stomach. The joys of Morning Sickness.

Jack hasn't been touched in such a casual way in a long time and it's odd enough that he shivers for a second. "I'd stay we should move forward but I'm worried we might be walking into an ambush...really not in the mood for that."

Colleen can tell he just shivered and that just worries her for a second. She doesn't need to deal with any weird reactions. Hold it together please. Death and sex should only mix when celebrating not dying not while in the middle of being hunted.

"Just give me a minute. Werewolf thing. I might be able to pick up on where they are."

It must be weird to have the visibly pregnant woman taking point but frankly Colleen has no time to give any fucks. Ego and survival do not mix well.

Jack nodded and took a calm deep breath quietly calming his racing heart. He wasn't starved for partners...he could find sex almost anywhere, but he was starved for touch. It was one thing to have one night stand and another to be touched simply because a human being wanted to touch him. " Anything," he whispered quietly.

"You were right," she murmurs and she carefully shifts herself so she can stand next to him. Colleen can detect a group of them.

"Five. Three in some bushes. Two are more in the open." She nods in the direction she had picked them up in. They had better proceed a different way.

"These ones are more after md than you I think. What is with their creepy baby obession?"

"Gods if I know," Jack says trying to plan out his moves. He has a feeling he is about to die...a lot but he isn't above playing human shield if he needs to to keep this woman and her children safe. "Do you have any dodging room at all if I draw their fire?"

"Jack. You aren't allowed to do that," Colleen barks in a low enough tone to keep them from being heard. There is a hint of rage right on the surface.

"If you do that I'll frenzy and there will be no chance of you possibly stopping me."

He may smell interesting but he's still too human. No upsetting the Ahroun damn it.

Jack sighs. "Trust me I'm a little hardier then I look," he says, "but if you have a better plan for right now. I'm ready to hear it."
