Hey guys! I've been doing some short stories, whilst I have the chance (as some may know), so here's anther 1! :) Includes the original Torchwood team (Owen, Tosh and Ianto are alive). Takes place after The last of the Time Lords.
P.S: I'm posting this as Doctor who because there isn't much Torchwood characters and is only revolving around the Who world.
Enjoy, Ace XD! Allons-y!
The Torchwood team had been relaxing to one of Ianto's heaven in a cup of coffee when they received news of a weevil being loose inside a graveyard. Typical. They'd packed up and jumped in the SUV, whilst Owen cursed and grumbled about 'stupid Weevils' and 'coffee boys with rubbish timing'.
Once they'd arrived, Jack froze. Shocked, stunned, surprised, the captain stood there gaping like a fish drowning in air. He recognised the graveyard. He'd been there before. Many times, long ago. Very long ago. This was the graveyard where the memorial lay. The one her name was on. The one all their names were on. This was the graveyard which contained the memorial lay, dedicated to the fallen, from the Battle of Canary Wharf...
"Jack?" Gwen's Welsh accent snapped his back into reality, reeling him in like a fisherman bagging his prize. "You comin'?" she continued.
"You catch the Weevil," he tried to hide the agony in his voice, "there's something I need to do..."
He was still staring into the blank, nothingness of space.
"Jack, are you ok?" it as Ianto this time, pain evident in his own tone. He'd forgotten Ianto had actually seen the disaster with his own, pain-filled eyes.
"Fine" Lie. They all knew it. Even Owen (surprisingly enough).
They all also watched their boss walk, unaware of his surroundings, towards the grand, rusted, iron gates swing them open motionlessly and continue to the memorial for the dead of the Battle Of Canary Wharf before Tosh eventually spotted the Weevil.
Jack dropped down on his knees, pain clenching his heart. He read the name's embedded in the stone once again before sighing and running his trembling fingers over the carving:
...Rose Marion Tyler
Jacqueline 'Jackie' Andrea Suzette Tyler
Mickey Smith...
He could hear the past slipping:
"But closing a rift always leaves a scar and that scar generates energy, harmless to the human race-" his own, young voice rang through
"But perfect for the Tardis, so just park it here for a couple of days right on top of the scar and-" the Doctor popped up
"Open up the engines, soak up the radiation-" him again
"Like filling her up with petrol and off we go-!" He shed a tear at Rose's voice
"Into time!" him.
"And space!" A sing-song mix-up of himself, the Doctor and Rose
"My God, have you seen yourselves? You all think you're so clever, don't you?" Mickey mouse's or Mickey the idiot's, or Rickey the idiot's OR Rickey the idiot's or... Mickey Smith's voice stated as it leaked through, stunned.
"Yeah"
"Yeah"
"Yep!" He popped the 'p', whilst in reality, he forced a tear to escape...
Hope you enjoyed it! Sorry about the sad ending! Anyway, laterz! Ace XD
