Prologue

~Torchwood 3-Cardiff, Wales-1899~

Once they realized their newest prisoner couldn't die, the two ladies of Torchwood Three deemed him a threat and locked the American in a cell in their 'dungeon'.

"He could be useful, Alice," said one, "not staying dead is a valuable asset in our line of work."

"No, Emily," said Alice Guppy, "he can't be trusted under any circumstances. He's an ally of the Doctor, and that means a threat to Torchwood. We're keeping him under lock and key."

Torchwood 3-1941~

Colonel Rupert Collins was reading the Harkness file again. He found it fascinating, as well as Harkness himself. He decided it was time to pay their immortal a visit. It's been awhile since he'd seen him in person.

Harkness was sitting in the center of his cell and blankly staring out. Col. Collins turned to his medic.

"How is he, Tyler?" he asked.

"He's much improved, Colonel," said Doctor Tyler, "the psychosis appears to be diminishing."

"Damn Torchwood thirty years ago," muttered the colonel, "let me know when he's fit for work."*

Col. Collins wanted Jack Harkness to work for Torchwood and not be its prisoner. He wouldn't be allowed to live off base, but he wouldn't be kept in one of those small cells.

~Torchwood 3-1951~

Col. Collins had Jack working for Torchwood with great success. He had rules every member of Torchwood had to follow, to ensure that Harkness wouldn't turn on them. He never went on missions alone, he couldn't carry a weapon, his room was kept locked at night, etc. Dr. Hudson was convinced Jack was still insane, but he was certainly more lucid than in the past.

Alex Hopkins had had his murder/suicide thwarted. He managed to kill half the staff, before members of Torchwood One had arrived on New Year's Day. Alex was retconned and sectioned. The surviving members of Torchwood Three were too traumatized to take on the role of leader, so Yvonne Hartman sent someone from Torchwood One to fill Alex's role.

His name was Ianto Jones.

Chapter One: Torchwood's Greatest Capture

~Torchwood 1-London, England-2005~

After defeating the Sycorax in the Earth's atmosphere, Yvonne Hartman sent agents to investigate near where the ship had been seen. Among the debris of the ship, there was a human-like hand on the ground. It would go back to the lab for analyzing.

~Torchwood 1-2006~

Torchwood One was regrouping after the defeat of the Cybermen and Daleks. They had also managed to recapture the Doctor. Blake Dillon had promoted himself to Head of Torchwood One. He wasn't as charitable as Yvonne Hartman and had the Doctor in handcuffs and taken to the cell block. They had emptied all his pockets; which took a surprisingly long time to do; during which time, they confiscated his Sonic Screwdriver and TARDIS key. They locked up the TARDIS somewhere on the premises as well.

~Christmas Eve~

A woman named Donna Noble was transported aboard the TARDIS. After some questioning, she was released, but Torchwood had a sample of her blood to examine. She was human, but there was something weird in the sample. They brought the Doctor to the lab to look at the sample.

"Huon particles, but that's impossible," said the Doctor, "the only Huon particles in existence are in the TARDIS."

"Well, apparently, you're wrong about that, Doctor," snapped Blake, "are Huon particles dangerous?"

"No, not in this state," said the Doctor, "but they're alien, so they must be a threat to you people."

They eventually drained the particles from Miss Noble and defeated the Empress of the Racnoss. The Doctor reluctantly provided assistance.

Early in 2007, Blake started worrying that the few allies the Doctor had would eventually find him at Torchwood London, so he made a phone call to have the Doctor transported to a more secure location.

"Hello, Mr. Jones? Blake Dillon."

~Torchwood 3-2007~

The Doctor was secretly transported to Torchwood Three headquarters. Ianto Jones was there to greet them. Ianto had a hard time believing that the all powerful, dangerous to Britain Doctor was this skinny, frail man in front of him.

"Mr. Dillon, Ianto Jones. Welcome to Torchwood Cardiff," said Ianto, "is this him?"

Blake Dillon nodded briefly in the affirmative.

"Mr. Jones, meet the Doctor," he said, "I've been told one of the Doctor's allies is in employ here. Are you prepared?"

"Captain Harkness will not be told of the Doctor's identity. We are certain he has never seen this incarnation of him," replied Ianto.

"Good."
