A life lived, not one of glory or of renown. Not one of fame and fortune, but a quiet life doing what needed to done.
To those around him Jack was a fun but weird guy that always had a bad joke or something weird to say. That didn't prevent him from being popular with the ladies or make him unwelcome by any means.
When asked though, the ladies would say they felt a sense of security and safety in his presence. Depending on the situation he could be a pervert or say something naughty, but they didn't mind that.
They felt that it was funny because it was Jack and they would let Jack whatever he wanted to them. He was the guy that kept them safe and didn't push things into uncomfortable territory. If they said they didn't like something then he would stop, on the other hand some women would be bold enough to walk up to him, look him dead in the face and say
"Can I call you Master or should I call you Daddy? Because you give off that vibe and frankly it makes me burn inside."
Co-workers would ask him to pull their hair, constantly graze his arm with their breasts, say they've been bad and need to be punished.
That's the way Jack was with the ladies, just minding his own business and getting all the attention you could ask for.
Guys would just get quiet and say that he wasn't one to fuck with and leave it that.
A guy that seemed like your average Joe with all things considered.
Normal life, normal activities, seemingly a normal dude. Plenty of female acquaintances with some being more, that is until you started digging.
That's where you hit a wall in the form of government agents showing up with cease and desist orders telling you to stop your line of inquiry.
The only thing people were able to dig up was that he was hush hush military, the kind that could and would kill you. The clearance level to even be able to mention his name and what he did was ridiculous, to the point that even some generals were quietly told to cease or be brought up on charges.
A simple life on the surface, but underneath that was a soldier, born and bred for the purpose of war. Skilled in languages, tech, weapons, driving, piloting, he was the one they sent when they wanted it done.
Not long ago five of his closest female companions, the ones known to be in a physical relationship with him at the same time, all received a benefits package from the government. The words the officers said at the time were
"It is unknown if he is alive or dead, but he set this up in case he went missing. He left a message before he went dark that said
"Tell my five girls, to behave and not do anything rash. I'll be back, behave until then, do not tear the place up or I'll have to punish you when I get back. No girls, not the fun kind either. Behave, be good, and we'll have fun when I get back."
One of the officers that was delivering the message to the five women standing in the doorway of the house they lived in with Jack felt an immense amount of danger that disappeared by the time the message was over.
He shook his head and kept quiet, because he and the other officers knew that these beautiful women were actually extremely dangerous, the kind of dangerous that was beyond classified. The kind of dangerous that the government wouldn't admit to knowing about and would do it's absolute best to keep everyone unaware of their existence. World-ending would probably be apt I guess.
And there were five of them in one house and they all listened to one man.
He shook his head again, then got in the humvee with his fellow officers and left.
Jack disappeared and it was unknown when he would be back, but the government and his girls knew one thing.
Jack would be back.
Look through history and you will see a similar figure in multiple parts of the world, going by different names and living in different areas, but one thing was certain.
Jack was someone that had seen empires rise and he saw those same empires fall.
Immortal?
Maybe.
Jack was Jack, and Jack always came back. They just had to wait and he would have another story to tell them while they cuddled and played video games.
Till then the girls just had to make sure they didn't accidentally kill people or blow up a city, not too hard right?
