Author: doctor's gal1792 on FanFiction, Beccs! on TIL, mrsjharkness1792 on Torchwood forum
Rating: M for swearing, and possible smut
Warnings: Um…none really….just the swearing and smut…oh and this isn't a Janto fic….
Disclaimer: I do not own Torchwood, Doctor Who, or any other associated programmes. All belong to the BBC, RTD, and all other affiliates. I own nothing; I am just a simple fangirl who makes her life by writing stupid FanFic. I am not making any money off of the writing of this story.
Summary: The idea came to me upon watching some scenes from Out of Time. A Girl from 1941 falls through the rift and lands in 2005. This is before Torchwood Series One…I wanted to do something with Suzie for awhile now and this presented it's self…so Suzie is in it…I also had the main idea of throwing in Suzie after watching They Keep Killing Suzie, the other day. So anyways, a girl falls through the rift and lands in Torchwood's lap. They can't send her home, but both the girl and Jack come to the conclusion that there was a reason why she landed in their laps, what is it?
Parings: Jack/OC, hints of Owen/Suzie and possible Tosh pining for Owen…dunno about that last one yet….
Authors Note: Yes I know my summary is crap…my mind is all over the place right now. We found out last night two women from our church died in a fire and thus I can't think straight. I'm exhausted….
I also know I have like 20 other stories in the making right now…no I am not giving up on The Lost Daughter, it might be a bit as of right now before I update, but I promise to give you more of the Aidan story and let you know if she lives or not as soon as possible. In the mean time go to my YouTube account. My Screen name is lovertojackharkness, I have been making some videos when I haven't been writing…I think a couple are quite good So if you want, check them out and leave me some love over there! Please review the story with positive notes…I need positive-ness right now….

Chapter 1
"How long will you be gone?" Lily Ainsworth asked Jonathan Bowen.
"Three months, four at the most," he replied.
Lily looked down at her hands, "Stupid bloody wars, their never good for anything," she said sadly.
"Lily what are you talking about? We need this war," Jonathan replied, confusion laced in his voice.
"All war ever does is bring death, destruction, and pain," she snapped.
"Don't be stupid Lily," Jonathan answered, his expressions portraying that of surprise for Lily's outburst.
She looked at him, "Is that what I am to you? Just stupid?"
The woman stood up from the blanket they had been sitting on under the stars. She noticed him look at her figure and she scowled. Lily snatched the quilt and wrapped it around her body. They had been swimming for a bit, but both knew they had to talk. Jon was leaving in the morning for some training then he would be going to some base.
Before walking off Lily pulled her swimming cap off, letting her long red hair down.
"Good luck," she said, trying to hide the tears that wanted to fall and stormed off.
"Lily! Come back!" he cried.
"Fat chance," the welsh accent cried back.
Jon was about to run after her when a blinding white light appeared on the beach, and when it died away…Lily was gone.

"That was weird," Toshiko Sato said out loud on November 15, 2005.
"What was it Tosh?" Owen asked, though glancing briefly at Suzie Costello.
"Well it seemed to be a weird spike in Rift Activity. It was there and then gone….we really should come up with a better program for this thing," she commented.
"Alright Tosh, in the meantime…who wants to go with me and see what it was?" Jack Harkness asked.
"I'll go," the Asian woman said.
"Okay, behave kids. We'll be back soon," Jack called.
He glanced at Ianto briefly, who seemed to have something on his mind. But Jack didn't stop to ask. He and Tosh ran outside to the SUV and began heading towards the beach.

When Lily opened her eyes it was broad daylight and freezing out. She pulled the blanket around her tighter and looked behind her, "Jon?" she called out.
But he was no where to be found, "I must be dreaming," she whispered.
The girl walked along the cold beach pinching herself; thinking and praying she'd wake up. But alas she was still on this cold beach and not walking away from Jon.
As she walked a bit more tears fell.
"Are you alright?" a man suddenly asked.
He was dressed in normal clothes, but the woman was dressed in trousers and a blouse that was cut just a fraction too low.
"I…I don't think so, either I'm dreaming and my body is refusing to wake up or I'm going mad," Lily said finally.
"What happened to you?" the man asked.
"Well I don't know…but it was not day. It had to of been…eleven, eleven-thirty at the latest. My boyfriend and I were talking about the impending war…he is shipping out tomorrow for some more training or something like that."
The man and woman looked at each other.
"More importantly, could you tell us what the date was?" Tosh asked.
"July the third, 1941," she answered.
"Alright, you need to come with us," Jack said.
"Why? Who are you?"
"Were Torchwood," he answered with a grin…
