AN: Written for the tw100 challenge 332 - Gwen Cooper

She had seen many things in her time with Cardiff police, but nothing that she had done or had seen with them prepared her for this.

Torchwood was a whole new world, full of contrasts that could keep her on her toes forever. Everything about it was so different from what she was used to. There were procedures and rules, but they were often thrown out in favour of whatever saved the world the quickest. It was light and dark, night and day, heaven and hell, amazing and terrifying all in one.

It was consuming, it was Gwen's life now.
