Levels carries on from my last story Starting Again where I have resurrected the whole gang. So this story contains the orginal Torchwood cast (as it should be if you ask me).
Torchwood
Levels
It all started the day after my 30th birthday. I was tired after seeing my friends the night before. I didn't have a hang over, I wasn't drinking as I drove myself. I didn't envy my friends they had been drinking and quite a few of them had young, loud children. Mostly I didn't envy them when with snotty noses and chocolate hand prints. Not to mention Mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, Mum! But today waking up newly 30 and alone I could feel time marching on without me. But still there was no time to feel melancholy I had to be at work in half and hour.
There was a strange silence outside. There were cars stopped on the road their drivers absent. It was a bit odd but I didn't have time to think too much of it. As I got closer to work it occurred to me that I hadn't passed anyone. I hadn't seen a single soul, which was unusual. It was usually a busy time of day. I tired to think if it was a bank holiday I'm missed but you don't tend to get them on a Thursday. I still hadn't met anybody by the time I had got to the office. Even the receptionist wasn't there. I let myself into the office and settled myself in. No one was there either which was very odd. I checked my watch and it was five to nine, the clock on the wall said the same. So where was everyone?
Hours went by and still no one came in. The phone which usually rang constantly was silent. I looked out of the window onto the street belong. There was no one anywhere to be seen. I rang my friends and family but there was no answer.
Where was everybody?
I left the office (no one would notice anyway) and wondered the streets for hours. Still I couldn't find anybody. Now I was really beginning to get scared. What was happening?
The Torchwood gang walked into the rebuilt Hub.
'I still can't believe how much it looks liked it used to,' Gwen said.
'Why shouldn't it?' Owen asked.
'We weren't they only thing that died,' Ianto said. 'The hub was destroyed.'
'It must have been hard work,' Tosh said.
'A lot of retconned builders and the hub did a bit of the work itself,'
'How?'
'The alien tech wasn't just in the vaults. The hub itself was part organic. So some of it regrew on it's own. It did change things slightly. Well that's what happens when a building thinks for itself. Welcome to Hub 0.2.' Jack said smiling and heading off to his office.
