Chapter One
Chapter One
It's been one year three months and 27 days since the day both Tosh and Owen died. It has also been one year to the day that Gwen Forgot.
After the tragedy that was Tosh and Owens deaths Torchwood broke. Jack, Ianto and Gwen gradually fell apart. At first they tried and at first they felt as though if they kept on going they would be honouring Tosh and Owen. That didn't work out. Gwen was the first to break, she'd spend hours watching the autopsy room or sat at the desk which belonged to Tosh. The grief tore her apart. After three months she started to believe that the destiny of the torchwood staff was inevitable. She believed that once you become part of torchwood, you'll always be torchwood. She believed in the end torchwood would kill you. She believed that not only would it be the death of you but it would take you at an early age. That was the risk that came with torchwood. When she had joined torchwood she'd known that but she still said yes. She said yes to Jack. She would always say yes to Jack. That's why she left Rhys, she didn't want him to have to go through the pain of loosing her at such an early age and also because he deserved something she couldn't give him. He deserved to be loved and she couldn't provide him with that love, not while it was taken by someone else. Jack. She told Rhys this. He had cried and begged her to stay but she had said no.
It was only two weeks after that which she had completely broken down. Jack had found her down in the cells watching Janet. She just sat there and watched for hours. Jack Soon realised that Gwen wasn't really there. True her body was there but there wasn't really anyone inside, Gwen's spark, her flare, her soul had gone the day Tosh and Owen had died. Jack realised what he had to do. He took her up to her office, told Ianto to call Rhys and took out the retconn pills.
Once Rhys had arrived he was joined by Jack and Ianto. Jack explained what had to be done.
One Year Ago
'We need to make a decision' Jack said
'About?' Rhys had asked
'Gwen' Jack replied 'Ever since….' Thinking back to that horrific day brought a tear to Jacks eye. He couldn't bring himself to say their names, in fear that he himself would break down like Gwen. 'Ever since the day Cardiff was attacked, Gwen has been breaking apart. She's not herself'
'What do we do?' Rhys asked
'We retconn her' Ianto replied 'Make her forget the last two years of her life. She will forget about torchwood, she'll forget about Jack and me and she will forget about Tosh and Owen'.
'We can't do that' Rhys had replied.
'It's the only way we can help her' Ianto told him. Rhys just looked at them; he couldn't decide whether or not it was a good idea.
'It also means you would get your wife back' Jack added. The thought of Gwen forgetting him, forgetting that she loves him and going back to Rhys broke Jacks heart but he knew it was the only way to save her.
'Let's do it' Rhys said.
And so they retconned her.
Jack and Ianto had carried on running torchwood, they went out, captured weevils, fought of alien invasions and saved the world. It wasn't the same. They had lost half of the team, half of torchwood and they couldn't carry on without them.
Ok, so its a short chapetr.
The first three chapters will be but after that the story will beggin properly, promise.
