Author's Note:

Hello readers!

Here it is! The sequel you requested for The Doctor's Angel, Torchwood's Angel! This is going to be more on the Torchwood side of the Whoniverse as opposed to more of the Tardis side.

And if you're a new reader, I would suggest you go back to my profile and read The Doctor's Angel before this, so you won't be confused… Not everything will be as explained in detail as it was previously stated in The Doctor's Angel.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this! I'll update as regularly as I can, but if a chapter doesn't come out for a while, I must inform you that I am and middle school student and have a lot of homework, so I'm sorry if I get really off on my update days.

And just as a head's up, I'm human. I make mistakes and spell things wrong from time to time. Please be nice about it if you see a typo or something. I'll try to fix it if I can. Thank you~


I came to Torchwood after I died. But, the thing is, I wasn't literally dead. As a Time Lord, regeneration is something we do whenever we die. Except, I was a little stuck.

It's all a very long story, really, but I'll share anyway.

The Doctor is my father and River Song is my mother. When Mum gave up all her regenerations to save Dad from dying, it complicated things for me… She was already not fully a Time Lord to begin with, so that and not being able to regenerate left their daughter in a pickle when she had to major heart attacks and died.

Oh, but it doesn't stop there. My dad trapped Lucy Cartwright, known as Sister of Mine at the time, in every single mirror in the universe. He visited her once a year, every year without fail. That is, until I came along.

When Sister of Mine died out, Lucy was the only thing that remained in the mirrors of the universe. She knew anything and everything from being everywhere all at once. She saw my Dad's hearts break so many times, she'd lost count. That's where I came in. When I was born, Lucy transferred herself into me through a small mirror in the room, not knowing what would happen. Yet, the only mirror in the room was cracked, so some things didn't come to me until she told me herself.

Like the fact whenever I looked into a mirror, I would see everything in the world happening all at once. It's very painful for me, looking into mirrors. Even my Time Lord brain can't handle so much at once. So I try to avoid mirrors as a whole. But, if I close my eyes and concentrate enough, I can remember everything that will happen. Also, I have these moments where I know what's happening all around the world.

You could say I'm the Princess of Knowledge, which I am. I earned it a couple hundred years into the future when people started noticing I existed in mirrors and reality. Very dark times for Lucy and me… Of course, we always knew how to evade the people who wanted to try and kidnap us.

But I'm getting off track. Where was I? Ah, yes.

I grew up without my dad because he was always off somewhere in the Tardis traveling about through time and space. It was almost always just Mum and I. But Mum was kept busy with her profession as an archaeologist. She traveled a lot to various planets and times, all saying she was going to "Africa for a few weeks" or "Egypt".

Being the six-year-old with no knowledge that my mum and dad were time travelers, I believed her. She left me with a very horrible nanny named Mrs. Popsin who hated and was allergic to my cat named Felix. But, she cared about me and always made me go to bed on time and brush my teeth "like a good little girl" so I could "grow up to be a healthy young woman".

Even though it was miserable with Mrs. Popsin, I was and still am a very polite person. Yes ma'ams and no ma'ams were always falling out of my mouth like they were the only phrases I could speak.

When Mum would come back from one of her adventures, she'd sometimes say she saw Dad. I always wanted to know what he was like and why he left. When I was nine, she finally tried to explain it all to me.

"You see, Addy," she began, sitting me down in her lap. "Your father and I love each other very much, and we still do. It's just that I got into a small bit of trouble for doing something I didn't do. Then, he started traveling, coming back to come see me every now and then. When I couldn't take it anymore, I started traveling too, hoping one day I'd meet him."

"But if you love each other, why doesn't he come live here?" I asked. "We're a family and families are always supposed to be together."

"You're right," she said, smiling. "Maybe, one day, he'll come back for us both."

I smiled hugely with glee. "Mummy and Daddy and Addy! All together!"

She laughed and snuggled me close to her hearts. "One day, Addy," she said. "One day, soon."

Then, later that month, she took her final journey. She died in the biggest library in the universe for a version of Dad who didn't even know who she was. Leaving me her diary and Dad's sonic screwdriver as her last request, Mrs. Popsin and I both mourned her at her funeral.

I saw Dad two times before I knew who he was. One, when I ran out to the park after the news Mum had died. I was crying on a bench, when he came up to me and then had to leave soon after. The second was at her funeral. He knocked over a statue and ran back to a blue box that slowly disappeared before anyone could notice he broke it. Both times, he was the tenth version of himself.

The very next time I saw him, I had run away in search for him. I needed to know who my dad was and that was the only way to find out.

I was surprised, as was he, when I found his blue box. Even though he'd locked it, the Tardis opened itself for me because it knew who I was.

When he figured out I was a Time Lord, had his sonic screwdriver, and that I was his daughter from the future, he took me along with him. After our first trip together, he went to get Amy and it all took off from there.

Weeping Angels, Star Whales, Daleks, and then came Rory. With Rory came vampires, Silurians, and the Dream Lord. Rory didn't like me much at first. He took out his anger at Dad on me for stealing his fiancé.

After I was bitten by what I thought was a vampire at the time, Lucy showed herself to me for the first time and told me who I was, but had to leave before explaining everything.

Rory died for the first time not long after. Then came Vincent Van Gogh and the Pandorica. I died for the first time then, but came back after Amy remembered Dad and me.

Next was the Silence. (Fun Fact: I'm the only being alive in the entire universe that can remember the Silence after looking away because of my mirror complex.)

After that, Dad and I went to visit Lucy when Dad was a human and running from the Family of the Blood with Martha. Lucy wanted me to know my past so Dad agreed hesitantly and let me go, saying that if I made a paradox, I'd be grounded for a month.

When that was finished and I hadn't created a paradox, the Tardis matrix became a human and we almost died again.

A solar tsunami raged across the skies when we found out about the Flesh and destroyed the copy of Amy, going to war not long after, only to lose my mum when we thought we'd won.

Dad made one of his only house calls to a child named George who was extremely afraid of monsters; he actually messaged Dad on psychic paper.

Rory had to choose which wife he wanted when Amy and I got stuck in a separate time stream from Dad and Rory on a planet called Apalapachia that was being quarantined at the time.

When we got stuck at a deadly hotel, Dad had enough. He forced me to live with Amy and Rory, promising to come back every now and then for adventures.

It didn't take long for someone at my school to notice I was the Princess of Knowledge. I didn't even realize there was a weeping angel in our school until an alien posing as my math teacher made it look at itself forever. He teleported away after threatening to take me somewhere when I told him my dad was the Doctor.

After that, Dad 'died' (but he really didn't), the Dalek Asylum, being kidnapped by a pirate on a Silurian ship that had dinosaurs as the cargo, and going to a Texas town called Mercy were a cyborg made the town suffer because of Kalher Jex, a mad scientist pretending to be a doctor.

Finally, the slow invasion came. Whenever I touched one of the cubes, it created a paradox because they would eventually kill me, and being already dead in a bunch of other time lines, it cause me to feel the pain of my imminent death whenever I touched one. Of course, no one had any idea at the time so Dad just said, "Sometimes, baby Time Lord skin gets sensitive to other race's objects" and left it at that.

When it didn't get any better, actually it got far worse, he began to think something was definitely wrong. And that's when the cubes activated all around the world.

It was the day before my fifteenth birthday when UNIT called us in because they needed Dad to help. Then, the cubes all shut off and started counting down from seven. That's when I accidently looked into a mirror and figured out I was going to die.

I offered to see what happens when the cubes got to zero and they let me into a small room with a solitary cube inside.

Dad was very reluctant to let me go inside, but I persuaded him somehow. When it got to zero, the gas came out, to no one else's knowledge and I asked if I could go back home.

The heart attack started in the car ride home. I hid it with all my might and crawled into the Tardis that was parked in our living room.

And that's where I died.

But I was resuscitated by Rory when they came in. He did CPR on me for a while until my left heart started working again. The right was too far gone to revive. Dad kneeled down next to me, holing me and told me I could be saved and that I would regenerate.

But then, I told him the truth. I couldn't regenerate because of what Mum had done to save him. But, what I didn't know at the time was that I was only half right.

I died in his arms and went into the mirror with Lucy. She, then, told me I didn't have enough power to regenerate, but enough to partially regenerate. So she pushed me out into a different time, when Clara was with Dad.

But there was a catch to all this. Yes, I was alive, but then again, I wasn't. I became an anomalous being, not really belonging anywhere because I was stuck in the beginning stages of regeneration. I couldn't physically feel anything. My hand would just go through whatever object I tried to touch.

So I told Dad all this and he took me to Torchwood because Lucy said they might be able to help me. I told him I wanted to go alone because Captain Jack wouldn't recognize his eleventh face.

Jack and his team at Torchwood Three took some serious persuasion skills on my part to let me stay.

Toshiko and Owen figured out that I actually wasn't stuck. I was just regenerated way slower than normal. Toshiko calculated how long it would take until I actually changed.

Six months. It was going to take six months of gradually being able to touch things to get to a point where I could fully regenerate.

I was pretty sure that if I died again, it would have to be the last time unless I wanted to do that all over again. So not dying was going to be my first priority after I regenerated.

Now that you're all caught up, let's get back to the story.


I woke up from my first night sleeping in my room at Torchwood Three with a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach about the coming events and a back ache.

I'd figured out that my feet were the only part of me that could touch as of now. (Hence walking and not falling into the Earth's crust.) So the trick to sleeping was to stand on my bed, then slowly easing onto the mattress. The only downside was that I couldn't pull up the covers. Not that I needed them or anything, it was just weird not having them. Since I couldn't touch anything, heat and cold never really bothered me.

I woke up and literally walked straight through the door leading out of my room to go up to the main room of the Hub.

Jack was already awake, making coffee. He saw me, smiled and said, "How was your first night?"

"Fine, thank you," I said. I walked over to him as he took a sip of his steaming coffee from a pale yellow mug.

"Would you like some?" he asked, offering to pour some for me.

"Couldn't pick it up even if I wanted some," I said. "I don't get hungry or thirsty or anything. Since I'm not really alive, I guess I don't need it."

"Oh yeah," he said. "Forgot about…" he put his hand through my shoulder, "that…"

I laughed. "So, Jack. What do you normally do when the rest of the team is gone?"

He took another sip of his coffee and said, "Well, I drink coffee, walk around the cells, make sure all of the equipment is here and running, and watch the surveillance footage on time lapse from the previous night to see if anything happened."

"That's cool," I said. "Anything I could help with?"

"No, no, no," he insisted. "You just relax. I can do it all. I always do, anyway."

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Positive," he said.

"Ok, then…" I said. "But just say if you need my help and I'll help, alright?"

He nodded. "You'll be the first I call," he said. It felt like he was being sarcastic.

He started walking away. I started looking around the main hall to get used to my surroundings. I still had this weird feeling in my stomach like something bad was about to happen.

While I was looking around and Jack wasn't completely gone yet, I saw someone sitting in a chair. He was staring at me while smirking. I looked behind me to see if there was anything there. No one was behind me. I looked back at the person to see he was standing up.

"Jack…" I said. "Jack! There's someone here!"

Within seconds, Jack came running back in, gun in hand. "What?!" he asked me.

I nodded and pointed to the person. It was a man with a haircut that was really outdated.

"Stay behind me," he said, making his way in front of me with the gun pointed at the intruder.

The man hand his hands up, still smirking.

"Who are you?" Jack demanded to know.

"Name's Adam," he said. "Adam Smith. Do you not remember me?" He put a hand on Jack's shoulder.

Jack suddenly put the gun down and turned back to me, laughing. "I forgot to introduce you to Adam!"

Adam laughed and said, "He always forgets important things."

Jack motioned me over, but I refused. Something weird was going on…

"It's only Adam," Jack said. "He doesn't bite."

I shook my head. "No, you had no clue who he was just a couple seconds ago," I said.

"He's been with us for three years!" Jack said. "Just come say hi."

"Hello," I said coldly, leaning onto the wall with my hand. "I don't know who you are or why you've come, but stay the hell away from me."

I turned around and ran back to my room.

Jack came sprinting after me, trying to grab my arm only to fail because his hand just went through.

"Addy!" he called after me.

I just kept running until he passed me and stopped. Surprised, I tripped and fell onto the floor.

"Woah, sorry," he said.

I got up and tried to find a way around him, but he was blocking the hallway.

"Why are you acting weird?" he asked.

"Why did you not know who that was when you said you'd known him for three years?" I countered.

"Everyone makes mistakes," he said. "I just didn't see his face properly, that's all."

"He was looking right at you," I said.

"Well, I'm sorry," he said. "It was really rude what you just said. You owe him an apology."

"You're not the boss of me."

"Actually I am," he said. "I'm the leader of Torchwood Three and you're living under this roof, therefore I am the boss."

I rolled my eyes and said, "I don't owe him an apology if I meant what I said. There's something weird about him and I don't like it."

"Oh, you're going to apologize," he said. "Go, now."

I crossed my arms defiantly. "No."

"Adeline Song, as the leader of Torchwood Three, I command you to go apologize to Adam Smith or else. That's an order."

I narrowed my eyes and turned around, slowly trudging back to the main hallway. Jack was right behind me so I couldn't escape.

In the main room, Adam stood there and smiled when we walked in.

I looked at Jack, who motioned over to Adam. "Go on."

Regretfully, I walked over to Adam. "I'm sorry for being rude," I said.

"It's ok," he said. "I must've just frightened you, that's all." He tried putting his hand on my shoulder, but his hand just went through. He looked at me, confused.

Jack started explaining why I was here to him and my situation. I just stared at him ominously as he learned about me.

"She's really nice," Jack said. "She's just stubborn that's all."

Like Mum… I thought.

"Ah…" Adam said. "Well, it's nice to meet you." He held out his hand for me to shake.

He's so stupid… "I can't touch you," I said. "Jack literally just told you that."

"Oh yes," he said. "But your fingers are able to touch things now. How else would you be able to lean on the wall like you did earlier?"

"What?" I asked. I looked at my fingers and then picked up the closest object next to me, which was a pencil on Toshiko's desk. It didn't fall through my hands! My fingers were working and I hadn't even noticed!

"See," he said.

I looked to Jack and smiled hugely. "I can feel!" I said.

Jack smiled and said, "That's great." He looked to Adam and said, "Is everything ok now?"

"Totally ok," he said. "I forgive you."

I looked back at Adam and said, "Really sorry…"

"It's ok," he repeated. He touched my hand and said, "It's great you can feel again, even if it's partial."

I felt this weird feeling as he touched my hand. I looked up at him in confusion. He was smirking. Then, he completely changed his expression and said, "Jack, I think the team will be here shortly."

"Yeah," he agreed. "Let's get everything set up."

I stared at Adam as he walked next to Jack. He noticed my gaze and turned back towards me. "Something the matter, Addy?" he asked.

"Tell Jack I'll be in my room," I said.

"I'll remember," he said.


As I walked into my room, actually opening the door, I still felt that weird feeling I had when Adam touched me. I stepped on my bed and sat crisscross applesauce. I looked at my hands and held them out in front of me, studying them closely. They didn't look any different. I put them on the bed and started pinching the covers, seeing if they would move. They did.

My fingers really did work.

"You should've listened to me," I heard a painfully familiar voice say. "I told you."

I looked up abruptly and saw Mum standing in the corner. "Mum…?" I asked.

"You shouldn't have gone looking for him," she said.

"But Mum-" I said as she disappeared. "Mum?" I looked around, seeing if she'd gone anywhere else. "Mum!" She was gone. I hung my head low and rested it in my hands. "I'm just homesick that's all… Get it together, Addy. You're starting to see them…"


Everyone came into work and recognized Adam as well. I was still so sure that something was weird about him.

The way Jack looked at him… You don't just forget someone who's been close to you for three years…

Then, it happened that night. Jack got a call from Gwen saying that there was a psycho in her flat. Jack and Adam rushed over there.

Adam came back with a very shaken up Gwen. It was Rhys who was in her apartment. Somehow, she'd forgotten they were engaged. Jack was still with Rhys. Adam suggested that Owen take a look at her.

While we were all crowding around them as Owen inspected Gwen, I asked if I could speak to Adam.

"Adam… Can I have a word?" I asked, pulling on his leather coat.

"Of course," he said. We walked out of earshot from them. "What's up?"

I narrowed my eyes and leaned in. "Whoever you are and whatever you've done to Gwen, you won't get away with it because I will find out what you are and why you're here. And believe me when I say, if you're here to hurt anyone, I will stop you. Is that clear?"

He laughed quietly and said, "I really don't know what you're talking about. I've been at Torchwood for three years. I would never do anything to harm them!"

I rolled my eyes and said, "Stop playing games. I'm not stupid."

"What do you know? You're only a kid," he said. "And you just got here!"

"I know a lot more than you think I would," I said. "And I'm a lot older than you think I am. I've been many places and met many creatures. Trust me when I say, you are not human. You don't smell human."

"Must be my cologne," he said. "It's called Animal Times."

I laughed coldly and said, "I'll be watching you. Don't forget that."

"I'll be sure to remember," he said, smiling.

We both walked back over to the rest of them. Owen stated that he had no clue why she was having sudden amnesia.

Toshiko started talking to Adam, asking what we'd talked about. I heard Adam say that I was just paranoid about someone stalking Gwen.

He's such a liar… Jack would never hire someone like this.

Jack hooked up a video feed connected to Gwen's computer. He was interviewing Rhys about the first time they met, their first kiss, and things that happened in their relationship. He was trying to jog her memory, but it wasn't working.

Ianto went to Gwen's flat with her to drop her off. When he came back, Jack still wasn't with him. Adam left suddenly and he didn't say why.

Toshiko and Owen were in the break room and Ianto was looking around for something.

I felt a presence behind me and whirled around to see Mum again. "Now look what you've gotten yourself into, Addy…" she said. "I told you not to go looking for him."

"Mum…" I said. "What are you talking about?"

"Sorry…?" Ianto said. "What was that?"

I turned around and said, "That's my Mum-" But when I looked back, she was gone. "Over there…"

"Who?" he asked.

"Did you not see her?" I asked.

He looked around nervously and said, "No…"

"Never mind…" I said.

I stormed off back to my room, stood on my bed, and then sat crisscross applesauce again.

I groaned in frustration and said, "Why do I keep seeing Mum?! This isn't some sort of… Oh, I don't know… Subconscious thingy! It's deliberate, I can feel it… Maybe I should ask Owen. He's a doctor. No… He'll just think I'm going crazy."

I groaned again and put my head on my pillow, pondering what I should do.

After a while I dozed off without knowing it.

When I woke up, I went back into the main room. Ianto was on the couch, looking at a leather bound book, furiously looking through the pages, trying to find something.

I sat down next to him and asked, "What's that?"

"My diary…" he said. "I keep track of all the artifacts and things that happen here." He flipped through more pages. "And I never mentioned Adam once…" He looked at me, frightened. "How is it that I can remember him, but I never wrote him down?"

My eyes widened. "Are you sure you never mentioned him?" I asked. He nodded. "He's not in there at all?"

"Look!" he said. He handed it over to me and I looked through all the pages, trying to find Adam's name. "It's not in there, is it?"

"No it's not…" I said. "Hold on, I'm going to phone Jack."

I got up quickly, ran down the halls and into my room. There was a phone there with a note beside it that Jack had put there. It had the names and phone numbers of everyone on the team, including Adam's. He'd given it to me in the morning.

I picked up the phone and punched in the first number when I heard screams coming from Ianto a ways down from the main room.

I froze.

I put down the phone and look at my door.

Should I lock it or see what happened…? Lock it or see what happened?! Think fast!

I thought for a second when I heard another scream.

I ran out the door as quick as I could. In the main room I saw Adam standing over Ianto, who was looking around frantically.

"What did you do to him?" I asked Adam.

"Nothing, I swear," he said. "I literally just walked in and saw him like this! He was screaming and-"

"Stay away from me, Addy!" Ianto begged. "I'm a murderer!"

My eyes widened as I looked at Adam. "What have you done…?" I asked.

"I haven't done anything-"

I started backing away slowly and said, "I'm telling Jack…"

And suddenly, Adam had hold of my hand. "No you won't," he said angrily.

"Get off of me," I demanded, struggling to break my hand free from his iron grasp.

He let go and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?"

"Run away, Sweetie," I heard Mum's voice behind me. "Run away quickly!"

"Mum!" I said, turning around.

But she had gone.

"What was that?" Adam asked. "Did you see something?"

"That was my mum's voice…" I said. "I've been seeing her all day."

"What happened to her?" Adam asked.

I turned to look at him and said, "Well, she died, saving my dad. But that was a long time ago… Six years, now."

"Do you still remember her?" he asked.

I nodded, not knowing why I was telling him all of this. "Yeah, I do," I said.

"Can you tell me about her?" he asked. "What do you remember about her?"

I closed my eyes and thought back to my childhood. "I was five when I was first sent home because someone had punched me in the face. I was only in kindergarten, but even then they hated me… She held me in her arms and told me not to cry. She told me to be a strong girl that my daddy would be proud of. Then, when things at school didn't get any better by first grade, she got me a kitten. I got to name him."

"What was his name?" he asked.

"Felix," I said. "I named him Felix after a cartoon I'd once seen. He was my only friend. Then, Mum started traveling a lot. I never wanted her to leave because whenever she picked me up from school, all the kids wouldn't pick on me anymore. So, the more she traveled, the more names they called me."

"Why did they bully you?" Adam asked. "What did you ever do to them?"

"Nothing," I said, wiping away a tear threatening to fall. "I never did anything. They just didn't like that I was clever and knew things that I shouldn't have known…" I paused. "Then one day, I said something I really shouldn't have. It was in second grade, a girl named Sally Calvary. She really liked to mess with me. So one day, she pulled my hair in class and I told her to stop. She said she wouldn't so I asked her why not. She told me that because my hair was straight, it wasn't cool so I should just shave my head. I told her to stop wearing a wig and to just tell everyone that her mom gave her a bad haircut." I paused again. "That day at recess, my Mum was called in. I was at the nurse's office for a broken nose. She'd punched me in the nose along with some of her friend because apparently I'd lied when I really hadn't… It was the worst day at school ever. I never wanted to go back. Then, a couple days later, she died right after it healed."

"Your nose was broken, then it healed in days?" he asked.

"I mend quickly," I said. "Except my hearts. It can't ever stich itself back together. Not now. Not after everything I've seen." I opened my eyes and turned to him. "Why do you want to know about me?"

"You've had a very interesting life," he said. "So many unique memories."

"What does that have to do with it?" I asked.

"Nothing really," he said. "I've gotta go." He walked away.

I went back into my room and started crying. I couldn't help it. Adam had made me talk about Mum… I didn't like that. He'd made me remember all the things I wanted to forget about my childhood. I tried to live in the present, not the past or future. So why was I getting upset over all this? I'd put that behind me when Mum, Amy, and I had talked after Dad supposedly had died. So why would I share about it with him?

That morning, I went straight to Jack.

"Addy, I need to tell you something about Adam," he said as I approached him in the morning.

"I need to tell you something about Adam too, but you first," I said.

"No, you go," he said. "I insist."

"He did something to Ianto. Played with his memories or something… I don't know what he did, but it's not good," I said. "And he made me talk… I didn't want to, but I did for some reason…"

"What did he make you talk about?" Jack asked.

"Myself… My past, my Mum…" I said. "He said something about my memories being unique." I paused. "Jack, I don't think he's a good guy. He's playing around with us."

"Exactly," he said. "You were right about him, but don't say anything about it. Just pretend like everything is normal. Leave everything to me."

"Ok, Jack," I said. "Whatever you say."


Later that morning, Jack pulled a gun to Adam's head and said, "Talk to me, Adam."

"What?" Adam asked, thinking it was a joke.

"What're you doing Jack?" Gwen asked.

"He's not who you think he is," Jack said. "He's feeding himself into our memories by touch."

"Is this some kind of sick joke?" Toshiko asked.

"He didn't exist until two days ago," Jack insisted.

"Could somebody tell me what's going on here?" Adam asked.

"Jack… We've known him for years," Owen said. "He's part of the team."

"He just made you think that," Jack said.

Adam started reaching for Jack. "Come on-"

"No, no, no," he said. "You're not touching me."

"Jack you recruited me three years ago!" Adam insisted.

"When I think of my team, I have pride for each of their accomplishments. Why don't I think that with you?" he asked. "Even Addy has one already. She can use her fingers! And you… You have nothing. You're the one who unburied the dead!"

"Jack, calm down," Gwen said. "Maybe you've just forgotten him like I did with Rhys, yeah?"

"Oh yeah," Jack said. "That wasn't stress or amnesia; that was him. He disturbs our real memories because he made us know him."

"I have no idea what you're talking about," Adam said.

Jack grabbed him by the shirt and said, "I'm taking him to the vaults!"

Toshiko pulled a gun in defiance. "No!" she said.

"Tosh, I'm just gonna lock him up," Jack said. "That's all."

"Let him go," she demanded.

"I'm not going to harm him," Jack said.

"Why should I believe you?!" she asked, almost to the point of tears.

Ianto grabbed her gun and held her as Jack and Adam went to the vaults. She burst into tears because of the fake memories Adam had created in her.


Jack called everyone into the conference room after he'd locked Adam up.

"Adam changed us. We have to get the old you back, rediscover who you were when we met," he said to all of us. "And if I'm right, Adam will go away." He turned off the lights and said, "Feel around for anything that makes you what you are, hidden and forgotten."

His words rang in my ears like an annoying sound you couldn't stop hearing.

I thought back to my days with Dad, my days when I saw Mum, when Amy and Rory were teasing me, when Dad hugged me and kissed the top of my forehead, when he called me an angel, when the Tardis was my home, when I had something to look forward to every day.

"Tell me where you are," Jack said.

I couldn't hear anyone else. It was only me in the room. Jack's voice was like a distant memory.

I saw myself in the Tardis, sitting in my chair. "I'm in the Tardis…" I said.

Dad was fiddling around with some buttons and Mum was teasing him about leaving the breaks on. Amy and Rory were holding hands and leaning on the railing. I was just sitting there, watching everyone be their normal selves.

"And I can't quite get the thought out of my head like I don't belong with them…" I said. "Like I don't belong anywhere."

I was always the fourth wheel unless Dad needed to know something.

"I was just there most of the time…" I said. "Like they didn't even need me there."

I thought back to all the times Dad had told me to stay in the Tardis until it was safe. I thought back to when he abandoned me and left me at Amy and Rory's house.

"It was miserable… Not knowing if he was ever coming back," I said. "What if he never comes back to get me?"

I felt a hand on mine. I looked up to see Jack. He smiled and said, "The Doctor will come back for you."

He put something in my hand.

"Take this," he said. "You'll forget this ever happened."

I held it close to my face and saw that it was a capsule.

"It's an amnesia pill. Everyone's taking them," he said.

I nodded and put the pill in my mouth.

Jack put a glass of water in front of my, but I pushed it away and swallowed it.

I felt drowsy and went to sleep in the chair.


I woke up the next morning without remembering Adam or anything that had happened. All was well and we were all very confused why we had no recollection of the last two days.
