A Different Melody

Hello all! I recently had a great idea for a doctor who fanfiction that I continued for a while in my head before finally needing to write down so that my head didn't explode. There may be some plot defects, because as I said, alomost all of this was figured out in my head. I hope you like it!

P.s. I'm open to new, less cheesy title suggestions.

Chapter 1: New Acquaintances

DOCTOR POV

This could be it. I turn a corner, running to the end of the block only to reach a brick wall. Seriously! Not even a door to sonic! It was too soon. I can't regenerate now! I have a fake ID and everything! Can't just have a Mr. John Smith disappear off the face of the earth. I stand in the center of the wall, glaring at the Ood gone rogue.
"What are you waiting for? Do it!" The Ood raises his blaster. I prepared to die... Again.(But never in such a petty way! I mean killed by an Ood in an alley with a blaster!) I take a deep breath. When suddenly, the Ood drops the blaster, and collapses. Standing behind the now unconscious Ood holding a dart gun is a young girl, around 17, 18 I was guessing. She lowers the gun.
"You alright?" she asks. I nod, still slightly shocked. (I was really expecting to die.) She looks at me pointedly, "Well pick that blaster up! We can't have your average Joe getting a hold of it." I pick it up.
"Who are you?" I ask.
"Not important." She answers, a little bit too quickly. "So, want an explanation?" We begin to walk out of the alley, falling onto step beside each other.

"Nah, I'm good." She raises and eyebrow.
"You're good?! An alien tries to kill you and you're good?!" She glances behind her. "Speaking of which," She pulls something resembling a remote out of her pocket, pushes a button, and the Ood dematerializes.
"Nothing I haven't dealt with before," She stops in her tracks.
"What do you mean?" She gives him an accusing look. "Who are you? UNIT? M6? Shadow proclamation?" She pushes her dark caramel colored hair out of her face, revealing golden-brown eyes. Where had he seen those eyes before? He returns to the question at hand.
"Depends, who are you?"
"Torchwood."She answers. He scoffs, disbelievingly,
"No way. You're 17, 18 some years old. Too young to have all you're training done. In fact, wouldn't you still be in highschool?"

"Home schooled." She says, looking him up and down. He does the same to her. Black button up vest over a dark brown tank top, black jeans, and black boots. (Side note: Basically what Scooty was wearing in Impossible Planet.) A blaster hanging from her belt. "Let me see some ID." He pulls out his physic paper, and flashes her what should be a drivers license. She stares at him dubiously.
"That piece of paper is blank."
"What?!" He says glancing at it. "That-That's impossible, you're only seventeen!"
"Tell me who you are!" She says, obviously fed up with his mind tricks. (That usually work.)
"John Smith." He says. "I work at a bank near here."
"There are no banks near here." Shoot.
"Well, I'm still John Smith! Now get back to whatever you were doing before, and forget me." He begins to walk away towards the TARDIS.
"Whatever I was doing before was saving your damn ass!"
"My ass didn't need saving! I just would've regener-" He stops, realizing what he just said. He turns around, and the girl's strangely familiar brown eyes widen.

"Regenerated?" She says walking closer to him. "John Smith?" Her eyes were drilling into his. Suddenly, she gasps. "Physic paper! You're the bloody doctor! Come with me!" She grabs his hand and begins to run, pulling the doctor behind her. The doctor follows without a word. He was curious about this girl. She knew about aliens, claimed to be Torchwood, but she was too young. She leads him directly to Torchwood surprisingly. Rushing through the doors, and into an elevator she drops the doctor's hand. After programing the lift, she presses an intercom button on the wall.
"We have a code 9. I repeat, we have a real life code 9."
"Bring him up sweetie." A male voice crackles over the intercom.
"Is that Jack Harkness?" He asks gesturing to the intercom.
"The one and only." She answers, looking smug.
"You're really Torchwood?"
"Of course!"
"You still haven't said who you are."
"Oh!" She turns to him. "Sorry, got a little caught up in the excitement." She extends a hand. "Melody Harkness." The doctor's jaw drops while he stares at her. Melody drops her un-shook hand awkwardly.
"That weasel." the doctor almost whispers. The lift opens.
"Excuse me?" Melody scrunches her eyebrows together in confusion. The doctor steps out towards where he knew Jack's office was.
"That weasel had bloody daughter, and he didn't tell me?"
"Are you talking 'bout my dad?" Melody follows the doctor into Jack's office.
"There's my code 9!" Jack says hopping up from his desk. He slows down when both the doctor and Melody stand there with their arms crossed. "I see you two have met." Jack glances between them.
"Not just met, I saved his damn ass from a bloody Ood!"
"Language young lady!" Melody scoffs at Jack, rolling her eyes.
"Look, I love this whole father-daughter moment, but I would love it a whole lot more if I had known you had a daughter! Why didn't you tell me?! She works at bloody Torchwood! How did that happen?!" The doctor shifts his gaze between Melody and Jack.

"I didn't tell you because I figured you'd just show up whenever and you'd meet her. That just so happened to be when she was seventeen." Jack explains calmly. "She works here because she grew up here. Learning about aliens and blasters, she had a hold of way to much classified information to go to public school. So, since she knew so much she was instated as an agent." The doctor nodded, still a little fed up with being left out of the loop, then turned to Melody, holding his hand out to shake.
"Pleasure to meet you Melody." While shaking her hand, it suddenly stuck him how beautiful she was. Caramel hair that framed her face. Perfect pink lips, and those golden browns eyes that melted his hearts. He smiled at her, she smiled back. No, doctor, he told himself. She's seventeen and Jack's daughter!
"I'll give the doctor a tour." Melody says to Jack. Then she turns to face the doctor. "There are some new rooms you might want to see." She takes his hand in hers and guides him away.
This could definitely get complicated.
