Animus Materia

The Doctors Character may seem slightly OOC but I'm writing this more for Janto fans.

AN- I do not own any of the character in this story apart from the ones you don't recognise, meaning Lianne, Lianne's mother and Lianne's father.

Prologue

Lianne.

I am not your father, but I have a mission, something I would like you to do. Tomorrow (9th July 2009) a young man called Ianto Jones will die.

At the moment, as I am sure you are aware, children all over the world are chanting in English and freezing at intervals throughout the day and everyone is terrified....am I right? If I am, I'm sure that you are wondering who I am...it is not important, but I know your father, my name is The Doctor and I'm a timelord. However this is not what I need to tell you. Ianto Jones, three years ago he worked for Torchwood One (based in London) but when it was destroyed he transferred to Torchwood Three (based in Cardiff) which is under the command of the Immortal Captain Jack Harkness. Jack is a fixed point in time - but everyone needs to love, and as much as I disagree with a second Immortal - Jack deserves to be happy and Ianto makes him happy.

Getting back to Ianto (please forgive my ramble). Tomorrow, he will die, while confronting the 456 aliens in the Thames building - this is the source of all the trouble in your world at the moment. (If you haven't guessed Torchwood deals with alien threat). You Lianne are the only person who can help me. Torchwood Three can not function without Jack, and Jack cannot function without his soul mate, Ianto Jones. It's up to you to help Jack. I'd suggest talking to him, he will be mourning Ianto, so try searching near Cardiff Bay, you won't miss him.

Thank you Lianne, and good luck.

The Doctor

Lianne Clarke starred at the letter in shock.

"What the hell?" she murmured.

She turned to look at her mother, who was standing in the doorway looking at her curiously.

"Do you know anyone called The Doctor?" Lianne asked

Alice Clarke gasped and moved over to her daughter,

"The Doctor?" she verified.

Lianne nodded her head.

"Oh god" Alice exclaimed. She snatched the letter and read it hurriedly her eye flying over the page, she gasped in shock and moved to sit next to her daughter on the couch.

"This is unusual, The Doctor hates to bring people back and change the course of history, something must be bothering him to make him turn to these drastic measures"

"Who is he mum?"

"He's how I met your father, I was travelling with The Doctor in his TARDIS, that's what he called it, I call it a time machine". Lianne nodded her head, she had always known about her father, he wasn't from this world, he was an alien, well he used to be a human that travelled and he got caught in the cross fire of something giving him powers beyond human understanding.

"Was it The Doctor that made dad stay away?" Lianne asked.

Alice nodded, "It was safer for him to stay on the planet were the people were willing to look after him and train him to harness the abilities he had gained."

Lianne smiled slightly "Some of which, we have learnt over the years, he has passed onto me"

"Do you want to help him?" Alice asked her daughter carefully, Lianne had always been strong willed, and independent, not one to take orders from anyone.

"I want to know what the bloody hell he's going on about" Lianne smiled. They had only recently moved to Cardiff, but they were quickly picking up the accent.

"Well, you know the phone that you use to speak to your dad?" Lianne nodded. "Well if you bring it to me, I'll contact the Doctor; perhaps he can explain in more detail what he wants you to do"

Lianne smiled. "If he wants me to save this guy, then I have to act really quickly. I have to be able to recognise and be able to convince him not to go into the Thames building in London, so I have a lot of travelling to do."

"Lets speak to The Doctor first; he may be able to answer for us"

Lianne nodded and reached into her pocket pulling out the mobile phone she used to contact her father, who lived on a different planet, it was specially modified to be able to reach him. She had known someone else was involved with her parents, she just never knew who, now it looked like it was all about to come out. Her mother took the phone and dialled a number, a number she appeared to know very well. Then she turned the phone on speaker phone and pressed call.

The phone rang several times before a cheerful voice answered.

"Alice, long time no speak!"

"Hello Doctor" Alice spoke "This isn't really a casual call, it's important, my daughter received your letter today, about helping a Captain Jack Harkness"

"Always to the point, I loved that about you. Yes, it would seem that without his soul mate he is, well, he can't cease to exist but his existence is painful, Ianto was Jacks lifeline, without him, Jack is nothing, Ianto needs to be saved...somehow...You can't stop him from dying, but you need to help Jack in anyway you can"

"So you don't want me to bring Ianto back?" Lianne asked.

"It's up to you, but it might be best to talk to Jack first...meeting him, you'll be able to make your decision."

Lianne nodded, she grabbed her coat and headed out into the cool air, a cold day in summer. She had to speak to Jack. As she closed the door she heard her mother speaking but paid no mind she only had one goal in mind, she glanced at the letter which she had picked up of the table as she walked by...Jack Harkness.
