Jack finished looking through all the information the Torchwood team had collected on the latest rift activity and sighed. Something had come through the rift and had vanished before the team got there, leaving it's first, but not it's last body. He was just about to look through the information again, certain he was missing something, when he heard Tosh calling.
"Jack! We've got another strange activity in the rift occurring." It was Owen who responded first.
"Another? Where from?"
"I can't be sure, that's what makes the activity so strange, it's not like anything I've seen before. It claims to be coming from around here. It's almost as though the rift's linked to something else. Something that seems to be running par–" Before she could finish, the entire team stood staring at the blond who had literally just appeared in the hub. In a split second Gwen, Tosh, Owen and Ianto had their guns pointing at the blond and likewise the blond had her gun out, pointing it at each of them.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?" Gwen demanded. Before the blond could reply, Jack appeared descending down the stairs from his office.
"Rose Tyler, born 1986, died 2007 in the Battle of Canary Wharf. At least that's what the records show." He said with a knowing smirk.
"What do you mean - ?"
"JACK!" Rose squealed running to Jack and hugging him, completely cutting off Ianto's question.
"Jack what are you doing here? I thought you died at the gamestation in 200,100!"
"The year 200-?" Gwen began to ask
"It's a long story" Jack told Rose, ignoring Gwen's question and not wanting to explain to Rose how and why he couldn't die.
"But more importantly Rose, what are you doing here? Last I heard you were stuck in a parallel universe and the transporting method you were using became inactive just after your father saved you."
"Parallel uni-?" It was Tosh's turn to be ignored.
"Similar way to last time, that's why I'm here. Hostile aliens from our universe have found a way into this one and … hang on a minute, how did you know I was stuck in a parallel universe?"
"The Doctor."
"You've seen the Doctor again?! How is he?"
"Yes and he's the same doctor as ever, although I have to say a lot better looking since his regeneration." Rose just rolled her eyes.
"Same old Jack I see"
"Hey, easy on the 'old' part. I don't look it do I?"
"JACK!" Owen yelled. Jack turned and seemed to suddenly remember that they were standing in the Torchwood hub.
"Oh right, sorry. Rose, allow me to introduce my team –." When Rose started giggling he turned to her.
"What?"
"You've got a team?" Rose asked, looking stunned and trying to contain her laughter
"And why can't I have a team?" Jack replied, crossing his arms.
"Jack, no offence, you may be pretty noble, standing up to the Daleks at the Gamestation to help the Doctor and me, and taking that bomb away in your ship in 1941, although admittedly that was partly your fault in the first place…"
"What?!" Gwen asked only to be ignored.
"You want to get to the point?"
"Jack, when I met you, you were a renegade Time Agent turned con man who had just managed to bring a whole lot of trouble to Earth in the middle of World War Two and by all accounts, mainly your own, you were a typical 51st century playboy. Does that seem like a guy who could have his own team?"
"Did you just say 51st cen-?"
"Renegade Time Agent?!"
"Con man?!"
"Rose, that was a long time ago, you know as well as I do how much you can change travelling with the Doctor, and I've given up on the whole revenge against the Time Agency thing for a while." Not wanting to start arguing with Rose he added "Although I am still a 51st century playboy" winking at her and smiling. This got the desired effect as Rose couldn't help but start giggling.
"JACK!" Jack turned to his team with a guilty look.
"Sorry, we were doing it again weren't we?" When they all nodded he straightened up and introduced his team.
"Rose I'd like you to meet everybody. Owen Harper, Toshiko Sato, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones. Everybody this is Rose Tyler. Oh and I say according to records Ianto, as she is clearly alive and was simply transported to a parallel universe; Yes Gwen the year 200,100, it's a long story; Yes Tosh a parallel universe, it would probably explain the strange rift activity; Gwen the bomb thing was a long time ago and an easy mistake to make and yes we said the 51st century, Renegade Time Agent and con man and again it's a long story, something which I assume from what Rose has said, we don't have time for right now."
Everybody just stared at him for a long time.
"Jack, I was wrong, it would seem you just might be able to run a team."
