Disclaimer: I do not own any characters from Torchwood, no matter how much I wish that I did. None of them are mine but I love them all.

Author's note: I love Torchwood and have been desperate to do one. Then along came Captain John and I couldn't put it off anymore. Here's one that's been in the pipeline for about an hour. Please read and review.

Set: After the end of Torchwood and Doctor Who, Martha and Mickey have replaced Tosh and Owen. Mainly about Captain John Hart but will have some Torchwood.

Two Harts

Chapter One: Late Night Out

Gary "Gazz" Jenkins knocked at the door and waited. After a couple of minutes a girl answered the door.

"Hey Jenny." Gary said nervously. He shifted from foot to foot.

"Hey Gazz." Jenny replied. They stood there in silence until Jenny reluctantly said, "Do you want to come in?"

"What? Oh. No. Um…I was going…I mean we…I mean Henry and me were going to go downtown and have a drink or two at the pub and, um…" he stumbled over his words as he spoke. Then a car horn came from the road.

"Is that Henry?" Jenny asked. Gazz swivelled to see his mate Henry signing to him to get a move on.

"Um…I was wondering if…you know." He turned back to Jenny.

"If I'd like to come with you?" Gazz nodded eagerly. Jenny sighed. "Yeah, why not?" she disappeared for a second and reappeared with a coat. "It's not like I'm doing anything important." She came out the door and walked towards the car. "But you're buying me a drink. I'm skint."

"Wait!" Yelled Gazz. Jenny rolled her eyes and turned.

"What?"

"Aren't you gonna lock your door?"

"Why?"

"There's thieves around here. I don't want you to come home to an empty house."

"You lock it then if you're so worried." She tossed him her keys. "But the chances that you're worried about me having nothing rather than you being worried somebody will steal my telly that you got me are slim to none."

"Come on, Gazz!" yelled Henry from the car as Jenny got closer. She climbed into the back of the mint green Nissan Micra. "Y'alright Jen?"

"Yeah." She said with no enthusiasm. "I'm fine."

At the pub they met up with Linda, Henry's girlfriend and Jenny's best mate.

"Heya sweetie." Henry cooed as Linda sat down next to him. He kissed her on the cheek and she turned so they could have a full-on kiss.

Gazz stared at Jenny. He loved her and didn't know how to tell her. He was desperate to get closer to her but every since he'd known her she'd been cynical and spiteful about anything and everything. Especially relationships.

Linda stopped snogging Henry and said, "I need a piss." She stood up. "Coming Jenny?" Jenny didn't move. "Jenny?"

"Hm?" she said snapping out of it. "Yeah."

"Well what shall we get you two to drink then?"

"A barcadi and coke for me please." Said Linda picking up her bag.

"Rum. Large." Said Jenny. "Thanks."

Linda peered at her face in the mirror and carefully applied more lipstick.

"Gazz likes you, you know." She said in Jenny's direction, who was leant against the wall next to the broken hand-drier.

"Really?" she said as sarcastically as she could be bothered.

"No need to be like that." She put her lipstick away and picked at her hair.

"Nothing will ever happen between us."

"Why not?"

"He's young. It's just a crush. And before you say anything, I know because I have had my fair share of them. Most of them went nowhere."

"Most of them?"

"I slept with some of them but the one I really liked got away."

"Does this look alright?"

"Yeah. Beautiful."

Linda leant on the marble that the sinks were set onto.

"Why could nothing happen?" Jenny didn't look at Linda.

"Is it because of the witness relocation programme, Jenny?"

"That's not my name and you know it." Jenny barked. Linda sighed and went over to Jenny taking hold of her hand.

"I know but if anyone were to know your real name it could put you in real harm." Jenny sighed.

"I just hate it here." Linda stroked Jenny's arm.

"You know…the witness relocation programme didn't get between me and you." she leant in to kiss Jenny but got pushed back.

"And you know that was only because you told me you were experimenting. If I'd known you were already experienced I wouldn't have agreed." Linda pulled Jenny in close.

"You said I was good though." Said Linda. "Was that a lie?" Jenny could see where Linda was taking this and tried to push her off but Linda was quite strong.

"No. It wasn't a lie."

"Come on then." Linda insisted. "Just one kiss." Jenny sighed. She could see no way out of this.

"Alright." She leant in to kiss Linda but pulled back. "Just one."

"Promise." Linda smiled and the girls kissed. Linda pulled back and fell against the sinks.

"No more." Stated Jenny.

"Shame." Linda said. "You're kisses are practically orgasmic."

"Don't say that." Jenny barked.

"Alright." Linda said standing up. She picked up her bag. "The boys will be wondering where we are." She left, blowing Jenny a kiss as she left.

As Jenny came out of the loos she heard a song coming from the jukebox. She didn't know what it was. Something hip hop, possibly rap or something. She sat down and downed her drink in one gulp.

"I'm telling you. Eminem is a musical genius." Said Henry.

"Is that who's playing?" asked Jenny.

"Yeah. I'm just telling Gazz here that Eminem is most likely the most musically talented musician in history." Jenny scoffed.

"Let me tell you something." She said. "I have seen the Automatic Orchestra in Vanezia in the Gemini Province and I saw Fredrico Gobbo, inter-stellar super-sensation in concert. Compared to those Eminem is super-crap."

"Automatic Orchestra?" asked Gazz.

"Yeah. It was a machine that composed concertos and no two performances were the same. I saw it ten times. Now that was music." Linda, Gazz and Henry looked at Jenny in stunned silence.

Suddenly Linda began laughing.

"That's great!" she howled. "You really had me going." Henry looked at her. "She's just joking."

"Oh." Gazz said. "Oh. Good one." he laughed half-heartedly.

"You're a real joker, you are." Laughed Linda.

"Yeah." Said Jenny. "That's me." She put on a fake smile. "A real joke." She muttered.

The four of them staggered out of the pub in the small hours. Actually Linda and Henry staggered out while Jenny and Gazz sauntered behind them.

"Do you think they're alright?" Gazz asked.

"Are you joking?" replied Jenny. "Henry will be fine; he's only had a couple of lagers. Linda on the other hand has drunken enough Bacardi and cokes to drown a twelve-year-old child. I'm surprised she's still on her feet and not covered in her own puke."

"Oh." Gazz said nodding. "Right." Jenny laughed slightly.

"I'm sorry. That was a bit graphic." She smiled. "But I just don't fit in here. I don't belong. And I never will." Her smile dropped. "But I'm stuck here."

"Oh look." Said Gazz, ignoring her. "There she goes."

Linda fell down on her side and began laughing like a hyena.

"Wait for it," said Gazz, "3…2…1…" and on cue Linda threw up all over the kerb.

"Ah." Sighed Jenny. "Good old predictable Linda." She laughed. "Let's go help 'em."

Henry laughed as Linda fell down onto the road and spewed her guts. He loved the woman laid on the floor and held out his hand to help her up.

"Come on." He said, "Let's get you up before a car comes along."

"Oh no!" she cried as she took Henry's hand. "Look at my hair!" Her long silky brown hair now had vomit over half of it.

Jenny laughed as she and Gazz came over.

"Now that is funny." She said. Linda wasn't pleased at being laughed at.

"Shut up, bitch."

"Whoa!" said Henry. "Linda, baby…"

"Don't you 'Linda baby' me." She shouted. "She's been laughing at me since she got here."

"Now hang on Linda." Said Gazz.

"Neither of you know why she's here. Why she's really here, I mean." she began backing away and was dragging Henry with her.

"Linda, no!" yelled Jenny. "You promised. You swore."

"Why? Why shouldn't I tell them? It's your own fault."

"Linda what are you saying?" asked Henry.

"She," Linda pointed accusingly at Jenny, "is part of a witness protection thing. She's here because she saw something she shouldn't."

"Don't listen to her!" yelled Jenny as they continued to get further away. "She's drunk.

"And she's been snogging me on and off since we met. She wants me."

"That is a lie!"

"Is it true?" asked Gazz quietly.

"What?"

"The witness thing?"

"No. It isn't. She's drunk."

"But it would explain a lot."

"Jenny Smith isn't even her real name." screeched Linda.

"What is your name?" asked Henry.

"What?"

"Tell us. If you're not really on some witness protection thing it won't matter."

Jenny couldn't believe it. In one second the drunken ramblings of a usually untrustworthy person had turned her only friends against her.

A bright light came from behind her and she guessed it must be a lorry. She walked towards the others.

"Guys please stop!" she begged. "This is madness!"

"Tell us your name!" yelled Linda.

"Alright. Alright. My name is…" she stopped because she noticed the light that was coming from behind her had stopped.

Jenny couldn't understand what was going on so she turned, praying it was the lorry driver come to see what was going on.

But it wasn't.
