Chapter One

Surprises. Good and Bad.

Jack sat at his desk pondering over the days events as Owen and Tosh sat down stairs arguing over one argument that had never been solved, by anyone, who was stronger. Men or Women.

'Tosh, it's a commonly known fact that men are the stronger race, we were just built that way' Owen stated.

'Okay I admit that men are usually stronger than women, physically, but women are stronger emotionally' Tosh argued.

'Emotions are for weak people' Owen shot back 'Which tells us what, that if women are stronger emotionally, all women are weak.

'You don't half talk some bullshit Owen' Tosh told him.

Jack was no longer sat in his office. He was leaning on the railing watching down over Tosh and Owen fascinated by the argument they were having. Well actually he was fascinated by the amount of sexual energy they both gave of during their little arguments.

Just at that moment the cog door to the hub slid open revealing a very slimy looking Gwen followed by a very slimy looking Ianto.

'You realise Gwen, that us being covered in slim is entirely you fault!' Ianto pointed out.

'Well excuse me, next time you try and be all mocho I wont save you life' Gwen argued.

Tosh and Owen had stopped their argument when Gwen and Ianto had entered and turned to look at them.

'You…too…look absolutely…disgusting' Owen told them in-between involuntary spurts of laughter.

'Thank you Owen' Gwen spat at him.

'So Why are you covered In slime' Jack asked while walking down the stairs.

'because Gwen here went and shot the alien' Ianto told him.

'I only shot the alien because Ianto wanted to show of by tackling it which ending up with him on the floor and the alien strangling him. I had no choice' Gwen shot back.

Right well you too both need to shower, cause you stink' Jack replied.

They were both about to head to the shower rooms when Jack shouted 'By the way there's only one shower, the rest have all broken'.

Ianto and Gwen looked at each other, then both dashed towards the door. Gwen was in lead and Ianto knew that she was going to beat him, so he grabbed her by the waist lifted her up and put him behind him, which left him in lead. Ianto reached the door first. Just as he unlocked and opened it Gwen slid through his legs and through the door way. She had managed to stand up, close and lock the door before Ianto realised what she had just done. She looked back at him through the circular window on the door and stuck her tongue out at him.

'Damn' Ianto protested.

'You have got to admit Yan, she's good' Jack said whilst patting him on the shoulder.

15 minutes later Gwen had still not returned from the shower. Because of this the hub stunk of something that Owen had said reminded him of the sewers only about three times worse. Ianto was about to go and knock on the door to tell her to hurry up when all of a sudden their was a gust of wind and a loud repeating noise that startled everyone. Suddenly it stopped and Tosh, Owen and Ianto all turned to face a blue police box that was standing in the middle of the hub. They were all too shocked to say anything. Well all except Owen, who Shouted out 'What the bloody hell is that and how the bloody hell did it get here?!'

'It's the TARDIS' Jack replied running down the stairs and over to it.

Just as he reached the door, it opened and out stepped a tall man with messy brown hair and a blue pin-stripped suit.

'Jack' The man said with a big toothy grin on his face.

'Doctor' Jack replied flashing him his famous smile.

The Doctor pulled Jack into a hug. Jack welcomed the hug, he had missed the doctor and the adventures they had.

Tosh, Owen and Ianto watched. All three of them gob-smacked and all three of them bursting with questions. Just as Jack started to pull away from the hug he noticed a young blonde girl exit the TARDIS.

'ROSE' He shouted.

Rose ran over to Jack and jumped at him almost causing him to fall over.

'Oh my god! I thought you had died on satellite 5!' She told him.

'I did' He replied.

Just at that moment Gwen emerged from the shower room with her head down and trying to dry her hair with a towel.

Ianto, the showers all yours' she said oblivious to what was happening in the middle of the room. She looked up and what she saw made he stomach flip over. Jack Holding on to another women. True she didn't have any right to feel like this. Her and Jack were just friends. So she told her self.

'What's going on?' she asked looking from Jack holding the blonde girl to the strange man standing next to a blue box.

'Yeah we were kind of wondering the same thing' Tosh told him pointing at herself, Owen and Ianto.

Rose pulled away and walked over to the doctor.

'Doctor, do you recognise her?' she asked quietly, inconspicuously signalling at Gwen.

'Yeah. I do.' he replied.

'Right' Jack said 'everyone to the conference room'.

Jack walked up the stairs followed by the doctor and Rose, who were followed by Gwen, Ianto, Tosh and Owen.

When everyone had sat down Jack started.

'Guys this is the doctor and Rose. I travelled with them a few years ago'. He said ' Doctor rose this is Gwen Cooper, Toshiko Sato, Ianto Jones and Owen Harper' He told them pointing to each one of his team.

'Now what I want to know' Jack said 'Is why you two are here? Don't get me wrong I love seeing the both of you, but it seems that whenever you pop up there's always trouble'.

'Um Sir' Ianto said 'Is it alright if I go get a shower?, this smell is starting to make me feel sick' He said the last bit whilst glaring at Gwen, who smirked at him.

'Yeah. Go on' Jack told him.

Everyone else had forgotten about the smell. They were all too intrigued about the Doctor and Rose. Each one of them still had questions to ask and Owen was just about to ask one when the Doctor started to speak.

'Actually, we've been following ripples from the rift for a bout two weeks now and they all seem to lead here' The Doctor told him.

'What does that mean?' Jack asked.

'We didn't know at first. But I think I may have just figured out why their coming here' the Doctor said looking at Gwen.

'Why are you looking at me?' Gwen asked.

Jack suddenly felt very protective of Gwen and went to stand behind her.

The doctor and Rose just looked at each other.

'Doctor, What is it?' Jack asked.

'Jack a few months before we met you we travelled to 1869 Cardiff' The Doctor told him.

'What' Owen suddenly shouted out. Jack looked over at him and shook his head as sign that he would explain later.

'Anyway' the doctor carried on 'We came across a race named the Gelth that were made up of gas, they were coming through the rift and taking over dead bodies. On top of the rift was a funeral home, run by a man and his maid, Gwyneth. This women Gwyneth, had some sort of ability that let her have visions about the future and because of this she was a direct link to the rift. We found out that the Gelth were dying, so we decided to open the rift and let the Gelth through.'

'How did you do that?' Jack asked.

'We didn't' The Doctor replied 'Gwyneth did. Turned out all she had to do was stand where the Gelth were coming through the rift and it opened. When the Gelth came through they turned nasty, tried to kill everyone, so we tried to get Gwyneth to close the rift. She couldn't. The energy from the rift had killed her. Somehow she was still able to communicate with us though. In the end Gwyneth told us to get out, lit a match and blew the place up, sacrificing her self and taking the Gelth with her.'

'I still don't understand what this has to do with me' Gwen Said looking at the Doctor.

'This girl Gwyneth, Looked Identical to you. And I don't think that it was a coincidence that both of you, in two different time frames, just happen to be right next to the rift.' The doctor told her.

'What are you saying' She asked.

'What I'm saying is that, I think you are the reincarnation of Gwyneth'. He told her.

'But I cant be, I don't get visions.' She Explained.

'You don't have to' The Doctor said 'You just have to be connected to rift'.

'Right, so why are the ripples happening now' Gwen asked.

'I don't know. Something must be coming through the crack in the rift, which probably means you're the only one that can stop it'.

Jack stood behind Gwen, unable to say anything. He was scared. He was scared that this knew revelation was going to take Gwen away. He couldn't let that happen. He Loved her.
