THE ONLY FRIENDS I HAVE LEFT

[marinw]

Characters: Jack/POTUS

Summary: Sometime post Live Another Day. Jack is released from Russia and meets yet another American President.

Author’s Note: I am indulging in as much wish fulfillment as I want while still staying on Canon. I am way out of practice so please bear with me. Also, 24 goes through Presidents like Star Trek goes through

Oh, lovely! I love the idea of President Hayes, and I think that even though canon seems to have forgotten about her, she would be in Jack's corner 100%. Her talking about Bill and how she wants to keep her feelings for him private while also honoring him was super bittersweet. This is a great little tag to the horribly traumatic end of the season!

Thank you so much for reading. Blaren was my favourite 24 ship. I so love me a pair of mature adults. I would imagine Karen is private with her feelings.

Her talking about Bill and how she wants to keep her feelings for him private while also honoring him was super bittersweet.

That was just the point I wanted to make! *glows*

Oh, man, I had never considered the possibility of President Karen Hayes, but that would be amazing.

I want this to happen.

I've wanted Karen as POTUS ever since Day 6. Bonus points if Tom Lennox is the Veep.

Although after LAD, I wonder if I would wish the presidency on anyone in 24land.

Ohhh, this is wonderful! I'd love to see Karen Hayes as President, and I'd love for Jack to be brought back to the US just because she wanted to do that for him, and for Bill.

Thanks for writing this.

You are welcome! I like the idea of Karen doing something simply because she wanted to. Because that NEVER has consequences.

Brilliant idea making Karen Hayes President! Finally someone repaying Jack for all he has done for his country. Now go find Chloe! Really hope the new season inspires some new fanfics as I think I've read just about all of them and need my chlack fix!

[marinw]

I'm so glad they didn't kill Chloe. Killing Audrey was craptastick enough.
