So I was thinking of a 'Return of Donna' fic because I love her so much, and here it is. Spoilers for Journey's End and Adam.

Disclaimer: BBC owns Doctor Who and Torchwood

Cardiff was cold this time of the year, and yet Donna didn't mind. She should mind… she always minded when the weather turned crappy. She zipped up her coat and began to walk along the plaza, staring up at the huge fountain above her. Donna had changed… she was sure, although whether it was for the good or bad, she wouldn't know.

Every night she would dream of happy things. Things she could never remember of as soon as she woke up, but she knew these dreams were happy. In fact they made her ecstatic, alive and overall brilliant. There was always a man in these dreams… a faceless man that would never turn around. He always insisted she was brilliant. Donna could never remember anymore of her dreams…

There was always something missing in her life, though. For months she felt empty and alone, as if something or someone had been taken from her. There was a part of her which wasn't there, and every time Donna tried to find it, she just caused herself a throbbing headache and she wouldn't try again for a few days.

She couldn't even remember what she was doing in Cardiff. She had been in Chiswick a few hours earlier… but something felt right to be here. Rift in time and space… Donna spun around; searching suspiciously for who said that, but no one was there…

Her brow furrowed and she looked at her watch, startled at the time. She had been standing in the same place for three hours. Where had all the time gone? She once had so much time she didn't know what to do with it but now… it was just being wasted thinking over things she couldn't even remember over.

What had I been thinking of?

The memories escaped from her mind and once again Donna Noble forgot the magnificent things she and the Doctor had done all those months ago.

Meanwhile in the Torchwood Hub…

"Jack?"

He could hear his voice being called and the ex-timeagent got up from his desk and strolled out of his office. He saw Martha looking at the security camera for outside the hub, her brow furrowed deeply. Jack came up behind her and peered at the figure that was standing, staring at the fountain in a trance. Her auburn hair wavered in the crisp wind and she was visibly shivering, yet she still stood there, as if completely frozen.

Martha looked around at Jack. "The Doctor told us he made Donna forget. That we shouldn't get in touch with her… but what's she doing here?"

Jack sighed and shook his head, "I don't even think she knows what she's doing here." He murmurs, staring sadly at the woman who was once so full of life.

Martha turned back to the screen and sighed. "I only just noticed she's out there, but rewinding, you can see there she has been there for hours. No wonder she's shivering. We should go out there and help her, she might get hypothermia, and it is winter after all."

Jack bit his lip and scratched his head. "I don't know. We can't take her down to the hub, 'cause then we'll have to retcon her. God knows what that will do to her current memories. Also I don't want her recognizing us in any way." Before he said anymore he saw her begin moving out of the trance and was looking at her watch confusedly.

Jack watched sadly as she began to look around, her face looking so lost and alone. The Doctor had taken away her memories, thinking it would benefit her, but instead she looked so much worse. She was trying so hard to remember her memories that had been stolen away from her, but she mustn't. Martha and he watched as she began to wander around the plaza, knowing she had no clue what she was looking for.

"I just want to help her…" Martha whispers, staring sadly at the confused woman.

Jack snapped his fingers. "Of course! She hasn't met Adam yet. He wasn't in the hub when the Earth was stolen so she wouldn't recognize him. Send him out to escort her away from this place, back to Chiswick."

Martha nodded and saw Adam down in the cells feeding the weevil. He looked up at her as she entered as grinned. "Hey, you okay?" He asks and she nods distractedly.

"Yeah, but I want you to do a favour for me." And she begins to explain what he has to do. Adam listens and bites his lip.

"So who is this Donna woman?" He asks, curiously.

Martha laughs and shakes her head. "I'm not really supposed to say. I don't say much about my travels with the Doctor." Adam frowned and leans over, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"But you tell me all about your time with the Doctor, remember?" He asks soothingly.

Martha's frown immediately disappears and she looked up at Adam, grinning. "Yeah I guess I do. Well she travelled with the Doctor after I left him. After the Earth was stolen she turned half Doctor… which meant Half Timelord! The knowledge was too much for her though, and the Doctor had to wipe her memories so she could survive. I don't know how much she really remembers but she has been outside the Plaza for the past three or four hours."

Adam nodded, grinning slightly. "The poor woman," He says with mock sympathy, however Martha buys it and leads him to the cog doorway.

"Make sure she leaves Cardiff, I don't want her remembering anything. The Doctor said if she remembers for one second she'll burn up." Martha advises as Adam walks through the door.

"Don't worry. I'll remember."

There is a mischievous glint his eyes as he departs. I'll have fun with this one, He thinks, grinning.

Donna notices a man begin to approach her and frowns as he comes right up to her. "Sorry, who are you?" She asks, looking at her watch and noticing that it was part 9:00 now and there were very few people milling around.

Adam smiles, "Oh come on Donna, quit joking about, it's Adam, remember?"

He reaches out and touches her shoulder and in a split second Donna collapses unconscious in his arms.
