A Crack in Time
Ch 1
Rhys rubs his eyes they had to spend another night at the new Torchwood base. For some reason the Alien activity had dramatically increased in the past few months. Gwen thought it was safer for him and Matthew to stay here instead of at home. So he went to work starting the coffee and getting Matthew's bottle ready. He walked out the main area yawning and stretching when he heard a loud crackling sound; he turns around and sees a lightning storm in the middle of room. "GWEN!" he shouts. "Is there supposed to be lightning in here?" He asks, he had seen a lot of strange things since becoming a part of Torchwood that he didn't know what was ordinary or strange anymore.
Gwen runs to the room holding their son close to her chest and takes in the lightning show. "No" she responds staring at it.
They close their eyes as one last bright flash fills the room, when they open them they see a helmeted figure dressed in a black suit standing there. The figure looks at them and raises her hands. "I'm not going to hurt you I'm just going to take off my helmet." A female voice tells them. She looked unarmed so they nod.
Her gloved hand presses a button on her wrist watch and her helmet slides into her suit. Her blonde hair falls in gentle waves down her shoulders as she shakes it out. The woman looks around then back at them.
"You're Torchwood One?" Rhys asks as he sees the writing on her uniform. Gwen told him their were other Torchwoods but they had never met anyone from them.
"Torchwood One!" Gwen says. "I thought they were destroyed?"
"I'm not that Torchwood" She tells them.
"What was all that noise" Jack says walking through the door. He stops in his tracks when he sees who was standing there. "Rose?" he says surprised.
"Hello, Jack" Rose replies.
"Of course he knows her" Gwen says sighing.
Jack runs to Rose and squeezes her tightly. She squeezes back and smiles. "Rose" He says again. "I didn't think I'd ever see you, the Doctor said you were in a parallel world"
Gwen and Rhys look at each other. "Parallel world" Gwen repeats in shock. Rhys places his hand on her back as they stare.
Rose pulls away from him, confused. "What are you talking about, Jack" she says. "I saw you…" she looks around for the date. "Two years ago, when the Earth was stolen"
Now it was Jack's turn to be confused. "What are you talking about? The last time I saw you was at the Gaming station and I think I would remember the Earth being stolen"
Rose rubs her hand along her face. "You don't remember me from two years ago, with the Daleks and Davros"
"Davros, The Doctor said you destroyed all the Daleks" Jack tells her.
Rose looks at them they were telling the truth they had no memory of the events two years ago. This was worse than she thought when they first saw what happening it had worried her more then Daleks. "Then were all in a lot of trouble" Rose tells them. She runs over to their computer console and presses some buttons her wrist watch.
"What are you doing?" Gwen asks her.
"Downloading your logs, I have to know what's happened in those two years" She tells her. "Control, I'm sending you some data. I want you to find any correlations between them and operation StarForce." The information she was downloading was making her more and more worried. She rubs her temple with her hands and runs out of the base, the rest follow her. "Rose, where are you going?" Jack asks.
"This wrong, so wrong" Rose replies running up the stairs and out the door. She looks around and holds out her wrist scanning the area.
"Rose, are you going to tell us what's going on?" Jack asks worried, he had never seen like this. She was acting like he did.
She turns around and faced them "Gwen and…?" Rose says pointing at them.
"Rhys" He tells her.
"Right, Gwen and Rhys, I need you to stay here"
"Why?" Gwen asks.
"First because you have your son with you and second I need someone to be at the base when my team contacts it" She tells them. Whatever was happening was happening quickly and none of them remembered it would be that much harder to try and stop it.
Gwen looks at her son and nods in agreement, her and Rhys turn back towards the base.
"And me?" Jack asks.
Rose smiles and holds out her hand, he smiles back and takes it and they run. "I need the rift, I need to check it for anomalies" She tells him.
They slow down as they near the rift when a blue box appears in front of them. Jack and her stop in their tracks. "It didn't make the noise" Rose says shocked. The telltale noise is how she knew when he was there so it was strange to not hear it. Rose watches as the doors open, her eyes widen as a new man walks out. He had brown hair that fell in his eyes, a wide face and close set eyes. She swallows, he had changed again.
