Beckett had never forgotten.

He'd been young, very young when he'd met Captain Jack Sparrow, rising star of the Company. Cutler had been startled, then charmed, then full of… well, something more. Sparrow was no doubt vastly amused. They were nearly of an age, yet Sparrow seemed older, and infinitely more worldly. And, of course, he was Captain Jack Sparrow.

"Perhaps you remember a certain pirate named Jack Sparrow. "

"Captain!" the two snapped, instantly, and Miss Swann reiterated, with some heat: "Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Captain Jack Sparrow." Beckett savored the words, his lips curving. "Yes. I thought you might."

Oooooh, intrigue! Plus one of my favorite moments with Will and Elizabeth in the whole series. There's just kind of this whole "My pony!" vibe from both of them that I love.

Um, I didn't meant to take that to a dirty place...for once ;)

He's their pet pirate, although it seems Elizabeth is more enthused about that than Will is -- I suppose she's been nattering on, Jack this and Jack that, for the last year or so. No wonder Will says he more acquaintance than friend.

I'm very glad you enjoyed this! Thank you for letting me know.
