I do not own Torchwood or any characters the only character I own is Katie Tyler
Chapter 1- A slow morning
"Reece I'm going to work" Gwen shouted to her fiancée as she opened the door of the flat they shared in the centre of Cardiff. "Have a good day babes say hi to everyone for me" came his reply from the bedroom. Reece had been aware or Torchwood and Gwen's involvement with them since he had helped them investigate one of their more outrageous cases and had never looked back.
Gwen loved her job and the people she worked with, it was different to her previous job in the police. She had more power at Torchwood and had impressed Jack so much he had made her his second in command. As she arrived at the hub she realised just how lucky she was.
Inside the rest of the team were preparing for another day of fighting aliens and trying to safe Cardiff and defend it's people from the rift. "Morning guys ready for another day are we?" Owen Harper- Torchwood's resident doctor appeared in front of her on his way to the autopsy room, " we will be when we hear of a nice juicy case, at the moment we are bored stiff Gwen so the answer has to be no."
Just as he said that Jack appeared from his office looking peed off. "what's the matter Jack?" Gwen asked as he stormed straight passed her. "at the minute Gwen everything is the matter, I've been getting phone calls throughout the night from the so called authorities asking us what they should do in case of an alien invasion when they know dam well it's our job to deal with anything that comes through the rift." Jack had been in this mood ever since he had returned to Torchwood after he had helped The Doctor yet again and this time he wasn't taking any messing from anyone. "Jack you need to calm down they are only doing it to wind you up and it's working." Gwen said. She could see how annoyed Jack was getting and needed to calm him down before he did something he later regretted which he often did.
Jack wasn't the kind of guy you wanted to mess with and get on the wrong side of, his mood could change at any minute depending on whether someone or something had upset him. "Everytime someone official calls weather it be UNIT or anyone else you get all defensive and they do it on purpose."
Gwen had become close to Jack over the last year and while he had been at the end of the world she had held Torchwood together and kept the team going in his absence but now he was back and hopefully everything could get back to normal but little did she know what Jack was planning to spring on them next. He called them all into the boardroom to explain his plan.
"Guys I'm going into the city centre for a couple of hours, there is someone I'm interested in bringing into the team" everyone was shocked, the only time Jack recruited was when someone died so they couldn't understand what had driven him to do this.
"Why Jack we don't need anyone" Gwen said. " I have someone in mind already I'm not just going to drag someone off the street I have someone in mind I think we need someone with knowledge and experience of the rift and the person I am thinking of does indeed have that." Gwen had been the new girl once so she knew how difficult it would be for this person to fit in, they would have to change their lives totally and keep the job a secret from family and friends. Jack was determined to make this work, he had learned from a close friend just how good she was and that she was the sort of person he wanted on his team and he was going to stop at nothing to get her.
As Jack left the team were left wondering weather he had made the right decision and Gwen was more concerned, "he's not thought this through guys, we've all been there having to lie to our families and friends about what it is we do coming up with excuses about why we have to go out all hours of the night, people react to things in different ways remember when Reece found out." The rest of the team thought Jack's plan was a good one, they felt like they needed an extra pair of hands as they were letting things get on top of them. " so I wonder who this person is, hopefully someone decent and not like Susie who decides to go on a killing spree." Tosh said as she sat at her station working on an old case the team were still investigating. "Jack knows exactly the sort of person he wants Tosh I'm sure he's found the right person and when he brings them back we all have to be nice we were all in that position once remember." Owen replied from the autopsy room.
