Torchwood Series 5 - Operation Cardiff Cleanup

Post Miracle Day Jack and the gang return to Wales, called there by a couple of Jack's old friends who tell the gang that post miracle there are all sorts of problems in Cardiff and that the city once again needs Torchwood to protect it.

Chapter 1

Just a couple of short days after Esther's funeral the gang steps off a plane and back onto British soil. which everyone apart from Rex seems happy about.

"An, smell that Cardiff air" says Jack.

"Remind me again why we're back in Wales?"

"Because Rex, it's our home, it's Torchwood's home and some old friends of ours said that something strange has been happening"

"What friends?"

"Ask him mate, I got no clue" answered Rhys.

"Yo, World War II, what's going on?"

"It's Torchwood business"

"I get that but what?"

"Not here"

A short while later they all exit the terminal to see Martha and Mickey standing there with two cars directly behind them.

"Well look who it is, Jack 'the Captain of all that is cheesy' Harkness"

"You can talk, Mickey the Idiot" retaliates Jack.

Then there is a pause while they stare each other down and then the two of them greet each other like the old friends they are.

"Hello again Jack, long time no see"

"Dr Jones, sorry Smith, how are you?"

"I'm good, you?"

"Not bad"

"Hello again Martha" greeted Gwen.

"Hi, what's it been like 3 years?"

"Must be"

"Alright introductions" starts Jack, "Martha you know Gwen but Mickey this is Gwen, her husband Rhys and their daughter Anwen and this is Rex Matheson, ex CIA agent and new Torchwood member. Guys, this is Martha Jones, now Smith and her husband Mickey, they're old friends of mine".

"It's nice to meet you".

"You too"

"So guys, what's been going on here?"

"We'll tell you at the hub, but first of all, Mickey can you take Rhys to Gwen's mom to give her Anwen to look after?"

"Yeah sure"

"Good, come meet us afterwards, the rest of you with me" says Martha who turns to the big Black SUV behind her.

"Is this what I think it is?" asks Jack

"The new Torchwood SUV, yeah, Jack, you wanna drive?"

"Oh yes"

"Hold up one darn minute, just cause I'm new to all of this does not mean you can leave me out, now tell me where the hell we're going?" exclaims Rex.

"Torchwood"

After a half an hour ride from the airport Jack drives the car into Roald Dahl Plass, he then parks the car and they all get out.

"Hey I recognise this place, we were here, right at the beginning"

"If you mean this is where you had us captured then yes, yes it is"

"I guess I don't need to tell you two which way to go" says Martha.

Jack and Gwen then look at each other and smile before leading the way to the Tourist Information Office, where upon entering they find it empty.

"What is this place?"

"You'll see"

Martha then goes behind the desk and presses a button under it, making the brick wall disappear to reveal what Jack, Gwen and Martha know to be the way into the hub, Rex meanwhile looks amazed.

"And that's not the best thing you're gonna see in the next 20 minutes, not by a long shot" says Martha who leads the way.

Not long after that they all descend the lift and right at the moment the cog wheel turns Martha leads them all in and says "Welcome to Torchwood".

Stepping in a little further Jack, Gwen and Rex all look completely and utterly amazed by everything around them. While Rex took it all in as new, Jack and Gwen looked around and saw that it looked pretty much exactly like the one they had left.

"You fixed the hub"

"To the best of my ability, I did as much as I could by memory, the rest is all new, what do you think?"

"It's amazing, you are amazing Martha, have I ever told you that"

"Just once or twice, oh and if you look up"

"Oh my god, is that..." starts Gwen who is looking up and seeing something she did not expect to see - Myfanwy.

"Is that a pterodactyl?" questions Rex.

"Yes and his name is Myfanwy"

"You people are messed up"

"Why don't you two look around while I give Rex the guided tour and wait for Mickey and Rhys?"

"Fine by me, see you in a bit"

Jack, Gwen and Martha and Rex then walk off in different directions, taking in everything around them.
