Hello...Okay, here's the deal.
This is Dark Cascade, the awesome Torchwood, Across the Universe, and Gilmore Girls author?
Well...Spncsifreak and I have decided that since we are doing so many stories together lately, that we needed to make a new account just for that.
Now, hopefully that means that you'll go and check out both of us and like us separetly. : D
This IS a four shot and it used to be under my name..but I moved it. So, yeah.
I don't own Torchwood. Nor do any of my family. I have no ties to it at all...unless you count the numerous hours I've spent watching it...then that's a different story.
Jack
She is dead.
One minute, she was standing there, tall and defiant, then a shot rang out, echoing in our ears and she was dead.
I was sitting on the floor next to her body.
I didn't cry, just held onto her body.
This wasn't supposed to happen; I was never supposed to lose one of my team, not this soon.
Somehow, though, this doesn't hurt as much as it should.
If I had lost Owen, or heaven forbid, Ianto, I would be a mess.
"I'll have to find a new recruit,' I thought to myself, then mentally shook it away.
How insensitive of my brain.
"What am I gonna tell her family?"
Ianto
She was just standing there!
One shot...
She crumpled to the ground, a look of pure terror in her eyes.
They're still in the autopsy bay.
Owen's cleaning her up, checking the damage.
Tears were leaking out of his eyes and I can tell he didn't want her dead.
No one wanted her dead.
I'm just so sure it hit all of us differently.
Jack is in his office, though, not as run down as I thought he would be.
Earlier, when it happened, he wasn't a wreck, which surprised me, seeing as I've always been positive she was his favorite.
Never cared horribly for her. She is – was - part of the team, but never really should have been.
Owen
I don't want to do this.
I never would have thought I'd have to cut up one of the team.
I'm not performing an autopsy, thankfully.
There's always a bit of a silver lining.
She died of a gunshot wound; we all saw it.
It was aimed at me, though.
Why did she have to go and protect me?
I've wasted my life doing nothing.
There's no reason at all that she...she...I can't even say it...she took a bullet for me.
Stop it, Owen. You're a doctor! A bloody brillant doctor.
Calm down.
"You okay, Owen?" Ianto asks me, making me jump a bit.
"Fine, Ianto." I say.
"I know she meant a lot to you." Ianto tells me, his voice soft and full of comfort.
I shake my head 'No', begging myself not to cry.
Toshiko
She.
Took.
A.
Bullet.
For.
OWEN!
I, personally, can't believe it.
Shocked is what I am.
She did share my liking for him, at least.
Although, mine can be best described as love.
Besides, I was there first. And, look at that, there after, too.
We never became very close, her and I.
Opposite ends of the spectrum.
Losing someone is supposed to hurt, right?
Then why is it I don't feel pain?
It will be sad not having another woman in the Hub, I guess.
Martha
Gwen's dead.
