Captain Jack Harkness stood a top of the Cardiff's Millennium Centre facing towards the rest of the waking city, only a few days before Jack had received a call from Yvonne Hartman leader of Torchwood One. Jack and his team Gwen Cooper and Toshiko Sato had been summoned to London, why no one knew. The conversation was still fresh in Jack's mind.
"Captain Jack Harkness" Jack said after answering the ringing phone on his desk.
"Jack, it is Yvonne Hartman, you and your team are needed at Torchwood One, you have three days to pack the need belongings and to make and come to London, a team will be waiting at London Paddington to escort you to our base in Canary Wharf on Saturday 24th June at 11.00am, do not be late Harkness" Yvonne informed him before hanging up.
The direct train to London from Cardiff took around 2 hours and 40 minutes which meant nearly three whole hours of Gwen complaining. The torchwood three team arrived at 8.00am to the nearest Starbucks near the station, Gwen was already complaining about the already dreaded journey. Four coffees later and a packet of ear plugs, the team of three took their seats in the first class compartment located at the front of the train. 5 minutes later the train pulled out the station, Jack's ear plugs was already in his ears, Tosh had her nose stuck in a book whilst Gwen settled with staring out the window watching the scenery go past.
Ianto Jones, Owen Harper and Rhys Williams entered the front of Torchwood One wearing their informal comfortable clothes or how their fellow colleague – Yuki Griffin had accidentally said home work clothes which kind of stuck just to annoy her. The three felt the eyes of everyone in the lobby, it was an unspoken rule in Torchwood One that everyone must dress smartly.
"What are you all looking at?" Owen snapped at the other Torchwood staff, he then proceeds to storm over to the lifts. Ianto and Rhys shared glanced over to one another before following after the snarky medic. Owen pressed the elevator button for floor 3.
Floor 3 had been Torchwood one biggest rumour, no one knew who worked on that floor. Everyone had tried to gain access but had been met with a metal door who no one could get through since it was made in the strongest alien metal they could find. No one could be promoted to Floor 3 because of the secret all the workers on the floor hide. They are aliens, every single one of them.
Ianto Jones was the leader of the floor with his second in command Owen Harper. Ianto had previously been a junior researcher in the archives, he was the only known member of floor 3 and he was the only one who had been promoted to the floor. The team consisted of five people, Ianto Jones (the leader/ archivist/ field agent), Owen Harper (second in command/ medic/ field agent), Rhys Williams (field agent/ transport), Yuki Griffin (technology genius/ field agent), and Matilda Halle (Human Profiler/ Interrogator/ field agent) along with their A.I system Rhianu and their resident pterodactyl Myfanwy.
"Morning Boss" Yuki shouted as the doors to the lift opened revealing the forbidden floor. Yuki has long black hair, with red eyes which were covered by brown contacts to give a more amber colour. Yuki was dressed in a long white t-shirt with black jeans and black trainers beside her was Matilda, the other woman was the complete opposite Matilda had short blonde hair which fell short just above her shoulder's, her eyes were dark green. Matilda wore denim shorts and a pastel coloured top.
"Right, through an anonymous tip, apparently alien technology has been dumped in the river, are job is to retrieve all objects before they get into the public's hands" Ianto informed his team.
"So we are basically acting as the clean-up crew" Owen said flopping into the chair beside Yuki and Matilda.
"Basically, yes" Ianto answered whilst grabbing his coat which he had abandoned on his desk's chair and putting it on, Rhys followed after him. Owen let out a grumble whilst muttering under his breath about Ianto underappreciating them for all the minor jobs they were taking on. Matilda and Yuki shared a glance before Matilda headed straight towards the lift where the others were waiting whilst Yuki made a dash to the door leading to the stairs – it was no secret on floor 3 that their youngest despised elevators.
Yvonne was waiting outside the Torchwood Tower, Captain Jack Harkness and his team had yet to arrive from the station with the two torchwood agents she had sent to collect them. The 30-year-old woman was running out of patience when the SUV came around the corner and stopped in front of the tower's entrance.
Captain Jack Harkness stepped out followed by Tosh and Gwen, Gwen was staring in awe at the tower, the building was huge and it made her feel so much smaller compared to the size of their hub back in Cardiff.
"Yvonne, nice to see you again, this is my team Toshiko Sato and Gwen Cooper"
"I am Yvonne Hartman, the leader of Torchwood One"
"So you run all these floors" Gwen said in awe looking at the size of the building one more.
"Yes, all 49" Yvonne replied.
"49 but there are 50 floors" Jack said but before Yvonne could reply another SUV had pulled up behind the SUV which had brought the three members of Torchwood three, behind the wheel like normal was Rhys or Agent Harwood, in the passenger seat was Ianto (Agent Tea-boy), and in the back was Owen (Agent Angsts), Matilda (Agent Sparkles) and lastly Yuki (Agent Ugh). To all Torchwood's members the agent's names for floor 3 confused them to no end, most believed it was to distract people from the identities they protected but the truth was all agents except Yuki were drunk and came up with ridiculous names, Yuki just happened to take note of them and thus they were stuck.
The two females headed towards the back of the SUV and started to unload the alien artefacts and technology they had pulled out of the river.
"That is Ianto Jones, he is in charge of Floor 3" Yvonne said beckoning over a young man over.
