Explosions rocked the city of Cardiff, Wales. The entire city was in panic except for a few. This seemed like another day at the Torchwood office except their friend and boss was missing. While they would prefer to drop everything to help find him, there were more important things to worry about, like a nuclear meltdown.
Toshiko Sato and Ianto Jones were on their way to the Turnmill nuclear station when a loud high pitched noise rang through the air. They stopped to cover their ears but soon they were ducking into the shadows to hide from the creatures that were coming out of the sewers.
"Gwen, the Weevils are out and attacking. We cannot make it to Turnmill," Tosh said into her comm-piece.
"I'll go, Tosh. You know, being the King of the Weevils," Owen Harper replied from his spot at St. Helens hospital.
It hadn't been long since Owen died on the job, only to be brought back to life. What followed his resurrection displayed his new talent and the natural fear that the Weevils held for him. While Tosh and Ianto hid from the creatures, Owen made his way to the nuclear station.
Just down the street from the two members of Torchwood, a girl stood in the middle of the road. Ianto caught sight of her first and was about to yell a warning when she did something remarkable. She slid two fingers in between her lips and let out a first rate whistle. Every Weevil on the street turned its attention to the girl.
The closest to her turned around and approached. Still standing in its path, she calmly removed her sunglasses and stared straight at it. Immediately it cowered and cried out. It was not the same cry that the two have heard from Janet, the captured Weevil back at the Hub. This sounded like a cry of pain. Soon all the Weevils were howling before quieting and rushing back the way they came.
The girl slid her sunglasses back on and looked towards the stunned pair.
"Go to Turnmill and prevent the meltdown. Reroute the flow," she yelled.
The Asian woman began running in the direction of the nuclear station while Ianto stared at the girl a bit longer. He blinked and she was gone. Rather than following Tosh, he went in the opposite direction and headed towards the Bay. He had a feeling the girl would be there.
Gwen Cooper was trying everything she knew to find her boss and friend Captain Jack Harkness. The brunette beside her had been the one to kidnap him but blamed everything on a molecular bonded bomb. She so wanted to punish the man but if he could help her locate Jack, she could hold her anger in a while longer.
"John, what else do you remember of where you buried Jack? The signal isn't reading on the scan."
"Luv, there were trees. That's it. It was a bloody long time ago that even if there was a sign that said 'Here lies Captain Jack Harkness' it would be long gone."
Simultaneously a high pitched noise and an alarm within Torchwood began going off. Gwen and John checked the cameras to see the Weevils escaping their cells.
"It's Gray. He must be here in the city."
A message came in on the comm-piece from Tosh to warn them. Gwen didn't have the time to grab her gun from the workstation before they were surrounded. The aliens were snarling and one was about to attack when they began cowering and crying. After a minute they slowly stood, unsure where to go.
"John, grab the canister and spray them. We'll need to get them back into the cells," Gwen ordered.
Three shots rang out and the Weevils dropped to the floor. Behind them stood a young man in a monochrome shirt and pant set.
"I give you one trip and you come back here."
"He's your brother, Gray. I love to hate the idiot but I'm not going to leave him buried."
Gray raised the gun to shoot but a movement in the corner of his eye caught his attention. He swung the gun and fired at whatever was moving. The bullet struck home in a girl's shoulder. Her black hair and top obscured the wound but blood could be seen dripping from her hand.
Not even wincing or flinching, she reached up to remove her sunglasses. Her green eyes stared into Gray's. No words were said but he lowered the gun to the desktop and stepped away.
"You may want to sedate him. He'll be a bit out of it for an hour and might lash out. Oh, and Zen?"
"Yeah," John said turning towards her, not realizing she used his real name.
"You will never take another assassination job. Remember that. No more assassinations."
Gwen rushed Gray. She handcuffed him before sedating him. The girl put her glasses back on and turned. Ianto was standing in her way. His eyes took in what she was wearing: a thin black long-sleeved top, a hunter green corset, a short black skirt, and mid calf boots. She wore no jewelry except for a ring and a wristlet cuff. He could see the hilt of a knife hidden in her boot.
"I can see why you're called eye candy," she whispered, her Welsh accent thick.
She moved quickly even before Ianto could comprehend what she just said. The raising lift was right where it was and the door hadn't opened; she had simply disappeared.
Their focus quickly turned back to finding Jack and stopping anything else that Gray might have done.
