Before the doctor,

Before Torchwood

Summary: Before Kelly met the doctor before she met Jack what was life at UNIT like prequel to most of my doctor stories.

Kelly awoke to the buzzing of her alarm. It was time for work.

"Oh Christ." She said hitting the alarm. She got out of bed half her hair sticking up and headed for her bathroom everyone in her house had there own bathroom there was no fighting. Her bedroom looked like a gym. It had posters of sci-fi's and heavy metal bands, it was impeccable tidy. She had punch bags hanging and weights. It was clear she was a girl on the outside boy on the inside. Her guns lay on the side of her dressing table. "Just in case." She always said. Her Mum and brother were the only people who knew what her real job was. Well her Mum didn't expect any different raising a genius. She was a good girl.

She came out the shower and dried her hair. She didn't see the point because it would get scraped back and a hat put on top of it anyway but she was in a hurry. She had to look presentable and all the make up she had was either peachy/beige colours or dark. From her gothic days which she still hadn't evolved from much. She couldn't wear her lip piercing in case she needed to perform autopsies or anything medical which she usually did. With 2 PHD's and a degree under her belt at only eighteen she didn't have much to loose. She was the top of her game.

She scraped her back into a bun as usually painted the whole of her face peach practically. She stuck her uniform on it had several stripes down the sleeves she was obviously high up at UNIT. She had a pass badge attached to her with her name and photo on it. She tucked two 9X19mm pistols into her stockings and left for her car.

"Bye Mum, I'll see you tonight."

"Oh bye love, see you soon." Her Mum smiled she was so proud. She had just been on the phone she carried on her conversation.

"Yeah Jackie, that was Kelly, yeah her new job's great. Any news on Rose?" Patricia Rivers said to her sister. She got in her car which was large and silver she'd passed her test first time on account of being a genius. She drove up to the UNIT base in Manchester.

"Hello, Miss Rivers." The guard said he was young and quite good looking.

"Oh hey Pete." She smiled sweetly. She walked up to her desk and looked at a bundle of paper work. She sighed and wondered what today was going to entail. The new bloke had just walked past her office she'd never spoke to him but noticed him a few times. He was quite good looking and apparently American. She didn't notice he was coming into the office.

"Hey you must be Dr Rivers?" He asked charmingly.

"Yes that's mean Captain Jack Harkness I presume?"

"That's me, I'm surprised when they said Dr I was expecting a middle aged male." He smiled.

"Most people do, well you have a young woman instead." She laughed.

"Well very young if you don't mind me saying."

"Yes I'm eighteen did my qualifications earlier." She said feeling nerdy.

"Wow, impressive."

"So what can I help you with?" She asked.

"Well I need an autopsy and I was told to come to you?" He seemed nervous.

"That's no problem." She smiled "When do you need it?"

"Well anytime this week." He looked even more nervous like she'd snap.

"No problem I can probably fit it in today." He walked out.

"Wow" He thought out loud. He looked back he couldn't believe it. She was beautiful. He shook his head and walked down to his office.

Kelly had been in work an hour and she found herself doing Jack's autopsy she knew why.

"Attending Dr Kelly Rivers, autopsy on an unidentified woman species. I'll start with the Y incision" She did and dissected the alien it was nothing unusual this was why her job was so top secret.
