Title: Getting Home
Pairings/Characters: Connor/Abby, Connor Temple, Abby Maitland, Danny Quinn, Sarah Page, Captain Becker, Mentions, James Lester, Helen Cutter and Nick Cutter
Warnings: None really
Summary: At the end of Season 3, Connor and Abby were stranded in the cretaceous and Danny was stranded even further in the past. This is my version of Season 4 Episode 1
Author Notes: Everyone else was doing it and I was so annoyed with the Season 3 ending so I thought it'd be my turn.
Disclaimer: I don't own Primeval or their characters, if I did Connor and Abby would've started dating in Season 1!!
Chapter One
Danny sat in the dirt where the anomaly had been mere seconds before, screaming out in frustration. He was so close, so close. If he hadn't waited to check Helen's pulse he could've gotten through.
Why was everything going wrong!? One thing after another. He sighed heavily, putting his head in his hands as he thought of Abby and Connor, trapped in the cretaceous. They were together but he was alone, stuck in a world that wasn't his; not yet.

They had gone silent for about an hour but the sounds of the creatures in the distance did nothing to help them sleep. Connor groaned as the pain ran through him when he shuffled slightly in the tree.
"Are you okay?" Abby quickly asked when she heard it.
"'M fine." Connor sighed, smiling at her reassuringly, "Somehow it's more comfortable here than it is at Lester's."
"I'm sorry that I kicked you out, Jack's just…" She looked at her lap as she spoke.
"It's okay, honestly Abby. I know that he's important to you. He's family."
"Even if he is a complete moron." She mumbled under her breath, "Get some sleep, yeah? We'll try to find Danny in the morning."
Connor nodded, resting his head on the trunk of the tree, "Goodnight Abby."
"Goodnight."

Becker followed Sarah's every step, "We can't just leave the anomaly! We need to wait, what if they come through!?"
"We can't do anything there. If they come through, Connor can lock it himself. Right now I have a plan and right now it's our only option from here." Sarah stressed.
"…What do you have in mind?"
Sarah walked to the car, opening the door and turned back to Becker.
"We need to get back to the ARC."
"Why?"
Sarah ran a hand through her hair, "We don't have time for this! Every second we stand here bickering is a second wasted. We don't know what is behind that anomaly. They could be anywhere. I'd rather us hurry this up and save them from future predators or raptors or whatever it is that's on the other side! So either come with me or stay here, I don't care but I'm going. You're not about to stop me."
Becker looked at Sarah, the car and then back to her before finally replying, "I'll drive, you can explain on the way."
"Thank you."

Danny reluctantly got up from where he was sitting. He knew he had to find shelter. He didn't know what this world had to offer, all he had seen were pteranodons and the first of the humans.
There was bound to be more and it was only a matter of time until they found him. He moved swiftly, deciding that it was in his best interests to find shelter as soon as possible.
He'd search for another anomaly soon but he knew even that was pointless. He had no way of knowing when or where they would come up, let alone where they'd take him.
For now all he could do was wait and hope that something, anything will go right.
A/N: Hello new fandom! My Torchwood stories were giving me severe writer's block and I've been wanting to do this for a while so here I go. Sorry this chapter is so short. Please R&R as this is my first attempt at Primeval and I'd love to hear opinions (:
Cheers,
Gabz
