I own nothing. Wish I did though!

The alarms sounded signaling the return of the team to the hub. They were coming back from a routine weevil hunt, if you can call a weevil hunt routine. After it attacked Jack, the weevil was shot and killed, so the team had some time to relax. Jack was the first through the door, followed by Ianto and Tosh. Bringing up the rear were Gwen and Owen, who were arguing about something not important.

"Shut up Owen!" Snapped Gwen.

"No! You ca-ouch! Watch where you're going." Owen started to push Ianto out of the way, but realized that everyone else had stopped as well. "What? What is it?"

"Quiet." Tosh whispered and then pointed to Jack. He was standing on the top of the platform staring confused at the couch just a few feet away from them. Following his gaze, Owen noticed a figure laying on it.

"Hello?" Jack motioned for the team to say still and slowly made his way over. "Hello? Are you alright?" The body started to move, but made no attempt to get up. "Why are you asleep on my couch?" Jack tried on more time.

"Hmmm? What?" Jack froze. The person, a woman, slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes. Turning to Jack, she smiled the biggest smile and hopped off the couch. "Captain Harkness! I did find you. I thought I got the wrong place for sure. I never expected that Torchwood would be so…damp." She smiled again while she tried to smooth out her dress.

"Really? What were you expecting?" She didn't look too dangerous. She was petite woman with curly, pale blond hair done up in some sort of messy up-do. She had on a long, dark blue dress that draped loosely on her, making her seem even smaller. Jack knew he should be concerned with how she got here, but he found that he didn't care. There was something familiar about her, something that made him feel safe.

"I don't know what, just not this. I guess I was expecting something dryer." She smiled again and started to walk towards him. "It's been such a long time, and I wish I could be here under better circumstances, but I need your help. I've lost him, Captain. And I need your help to find him."

"Right…before all that, I need to know who you are."

"What? Oh no, I thought that you knew. I guess I do look different don't I."

"Yeah." Jack smiled a little.

"Heh." She nervously glanced at the team still behind Jack. "But…um…I…can we talk about this in your office?" She looked pleadingly into his eyes.

"No."

"The thing is it's a bit embarrassing, and-"

"No."

"You're not going to like it when I-"

"No."

"Please? It's not someth-"

"No. You can tell me here."

"Alright Captain." She looked at the floor and sagged a little. "But don't tell me I didn't warn you."

"Now." He commanded, making her bright, pale eyes snap to his. She straightened brought her hands up to rest on her hips.

"I'm the Tardis."
