Id like to get a special thanks to Lady Emma Wentworth who is a lifesaver. She is a genis and really helps me with my spelling and grammer. Her inserts make everything flow so much better and give inspiration for more things.
PLEASE READ AND REVIEW. I love hearing what people think
Daisy took a good look at herself in the bathroom mirror. It had been a decade since she had joined her father, Captain Jack Harkness, at Torchwood. Ten years of working with alien life forms and all of the strange things that happened in Cardiff had taken its toll on her. She finally understood why her father had not wanted her to joinin the first place. As a full-time job, Torchwood broke you down and then took everything you had to offer and more.
Daisy quickly got ready for work. She knew Jack would be downstairs waiting for her. Entering the kitchen she was greeted with a cup of coffee. "Thanks, Ianto," she said to her father's partner.
Ianto Jones had diedmore than thirtyyears ago, but Daisy had gone back in time to save him. Bydoing so, she had given her fathera second chance to be with his one true love. Daisy joined her father at the table, where Jack was quickly scarfing down the large breakfast that Ianto prepared for him every morning.
The passing years had changed many things in their lives, but not Jack. Jack Harkness always stayed the same; always had, always would. Daisy had watched as she and everyone around her had grown older, but her immortal father still looked the same as he had her whole life. Years ago she had been forced to stop calling him 'Dad' in pubic; now people thought he was her older brother. Ianto poured the rest of the coffee into a thermos as Jack placed his dishes in the sink, and the three of them headed off to the Hub.
Torchwood had become sort of a family business over the past few years. Jack hadn't hired anyone new on since he had hired Daisy and the William's boys. On the way to the Hub, Daisy sat in the back of the SUV, watching her father and Ianto. She wasn't so sure anymore that she had done the right thing all those years ago by bringing Ianto back to life and into the future. Sure, it had made her father happier than she had ever seen him, but she knew that Ianto would eventually die for good. It made Daisy's hearts ache to know that in the end, Jack would be left behind,to grieve his beloved Welshman once more.
Daisy shook her head; she had been so young and hopeful at the time. She hadn't thought about what it would do to Jack when he lost Ianto again. It was nice to see the happiness the two men shared, but pain and loss defined us as much as happiness and love. She understood what that truly meant now.
Years ago, Jack had given her a sonic lipstick, and now, as she rolled it between her hands, Daisy thought about its original owner. It had been a gift from a great woman, a true hero of Earth. Sarah Jane Smith had been an inspiration and a saviour to many people, and she had died the same day Jack and Daisy showed up looking for answers as to who Daisy really was.
As it turned out, Daisy was a Time Lord; a member of an ancient race of beings who had died out in a horrible war thousands of years before Daisy had ever been born. The only other Time Lord in the universe was the Doctor. He had once asked Daisy to travel with him, just as he had asked her mother, but unlike Rose Tyler,Daisy hadturned him down. Every now and again, she would ask herself if she did the right thing, wondering how different her life might have turned out if she had accepted the Time Lord's invitation.
They pulled up outside the Hub. Daisy no longer saw Torchwood as a world of excitement and adventure. Now, when she looked atthe place, all she saw was doom and gloom. There was only loss and pain through those doors. Silently, she followed the two happy men inside.
'How many people,' Daisy thought to herself, 'have walked through these doors only to lose their life or family to this place?'
"Hey, honey!" She was greeted cheerfully as she walked in behind Jack and Ianto. This place wasn't all bad though; it had brought her the love of her life. He and Daisy had known each other their whole lives. But it wasn't until they were out on a mission together, shortly after they both started, that they finally realised their feelings for each other.
Her husband walked up, taking his wife into a tight embrace. "It was a slow night, Jack," he said after kissing Daisy. Daisy's husband, Ianto Owen Williams, who now went by Owen, turned and followed Jack up to his office to brief him about the night's activities. Daisy watched as her husband left the room, and she sighed deeply. Owen was holding it together better than she was.
Today was the seventh anniversary of his brother, RJ's death. Their mother had worked for Torchwood and had tried to tell her sons what a dangerous place this would be, but with the hubris born of youth, they hadn't listened to her. Oh, how Daisy wished they had all listened and had taken her warnings seriously. Gwen Williams had managed to walk away with her life, but the place had taken one of her sons instead. Losing RJ had ruined her life; it had succeeded in destroying her marriage. Daisy sighed and headed down to the medical bay; Ianto would soon be expecting her paperwork from the night before.
