A Few Minutes More
A/N: Hello! This is my first Doctor Who Fanfic. Just thought I'd try writing one out after being unable to fall asleep. The first chapter isn't much, but I wanted to write it just to get the juices flowing. Although the first chapter focuses more on Jack's side, I'm debating on whether I'll keep it that way or switch it up. Sorry – rambling, I'll keep it to a minimum.
As well, I don't and never will own Doctor Who. This is just a little fan work.
Enjoy!
Chapter One: The Face of Boe Meets the Most Important Woman in the Universe
Jack was ready to give up. The Daleks were rounding up humans like cattle, he didn't agree with Martha's take on the situation, and he defiantly wasn't prepared for this situation. The static from the computer filled the room as he tried – forced himself to concoct a plan to do something. Anything.
He could hear a woman's voice calling for help in the background. Probably an old woman looking for help. Wouldn't do much good considering most people were under Dalek control.
"Someone's trying to get in touch." Gwen observed the computer screen, trying to make it out.
"The whole world's crying out. Just leave them." Jack really felt no ounce of hope.
"Captain Jack Harkness, shame on you! Now stand to attention Sir!" The woman ordered.
Confused, Jack hurried to the computer. Who could this possibly be? "What? Who is that?"
The screen finally cleared and Harriet Jones, holding up her ID. "Harriet Jones, former Prime Minister." She introduced herself.
…
Jack felt a lump rise in his throat. Stay strong for her. He forced a weak smile on his face. The last of her introductions to the Daleks, their unfazed robotic voices, a final retort from Harriet, and the static of Harriet's computer disconnecting. That was the end of her life. Taken to save the world. Jack tried to push the lump down his throat, to keep it from rising up and revealing his sorrow.
Suddenly, the Harriet's corner began to change; shapes were being formed on the computer and sound was coming through. Jack perked up. Could it be? The Doctor and a (beautiful if he might add) woman appeared on the screen. Jack couldn't help but let out a little chuckle of relief.
"Where the hell have you been?!" Jack demanded. "Doctor it's the Daleks!"
Martha, her mother, Sarah Jane, and her son began to talk over each other, making it hard for anyone to get answers. However, the Doctor seemed fine with it. Asked about Sarah's son, pointed out Torchwood. He seemed almost proud – proud that he had such brilliant people on his side.
The beautiful woman pointed at the screen. "And who's he?" she asked. Jack's heart skipped a beat. Who else could she have been talking about?
Jack opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by the Doctor. "Captain Jack. Don't. Just… Don't."
Well, hoped you enjoyed it. Second chapter will be up soon (hopefully).
Thanks for reading!
