Torchwood characters are also involved in this and it may help to read my Torchwood story Last Woman Standing. If you don't want to basically Ianto lived and Gwen finds out that Jack is her father (!)

Old Books and New Friends.

The Doctor glared at the Tardis mainframe and muttered something under his breath. The TARDIS repeated the various whoops and squeals that she had begun a few seconds ago.

"Ok, ok old girl. Just bare with me." He put the sonic screwdriver between his teeth. The console flashed and beeped. Rory rushed into the room just as the Doctor realised what was wrong. "Ah ha!"

"Doctor?"

"Rory!"

"Have you seen Amy?"

"Amy Pond. Amelia Pond, the girl who waited."

"Yeah, her. Also known as your mother in law."

"Oh yes." The Doctor smirked. "No, not for a while."

"Oh, she said something about going to the library with Clara. But that would involve books and things."

"Libraries often do." The Doctor turned away from his work. "And if Amy is with Clara then."

"We really do have something to worry about." Rory completed the sentence just before running after the Doctor.

"Jack!" Donna yelled across the Hub. "You sure about this?"

"As sure as I am you've got red hair." He smiled at her. Donna raised an eyebrow, apparently only one of two women that were immune to the Harkness charms. He shook his head, even Toshiko had been flattered when he flirted with her. Donna saw it as an annoyance.

"We have to be careful." Gwen stated as she stepped closer. "We managed to get in touch with Martha, Mel and Ace."

"Ah Ace."

"You know her?" Ianto asked.

"Sort of related."

"Oh God, not another one." Gwen rolled her eyes.

"Not like that." Jack frowned. "She is possibly a half sister of mine on my father's side. Maybe, there were rumours."

"You following your Dad then?" Gwen smirked.

"I dunno." Jack smiled back. "Maybe? Are you?" Gwen turned, hurriedly changing the subject.

"I'm still trying to find some kid called Adam, Romana, Jo, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Perri all seem to be unaccounted for."

"We need Tosh." Ianto sighed. Donna frowned.

"Can I ask something? The Doctor, right. He thinks he is never wrong. That he is always right. Well he was wrong. I remembered everything and funnily enough me head didn't explode." She pointed at her head and Jack smirked. "Now if 'e was wrong about that 'ow can we be sure that we're doing the right thing in getting 'im 'ere? And 'as any of you told 'im about me? Nah thought now. Jack, you have told him about Sarah-Jane." She took a deep breath as he looked away. "You have to tell him."

"I will. When he gets here. It should be done in person. She was a remarkable lady."

"Yeah, she was." Gwen smiled. "She was."

"Clara! Amy!" The Doctor rounded the doorway as both women looked up.

"Whoa, where's the fire?" Amy laughed.

"Just wondered where you were." He smiled. Clara rolled her eyes.

"We could hardly just leave the TARDIS. Not when she's in mid-flight." Clara smiled. "We were just looking at these photo albums."

"Oh don't look at them. No, some of the things I wore! A question mark umbrella." He shook his head as the girls laughed. "Oi." Rory ran in seconds behind them as Clara put the book away. Amy got to her feet. The petite red-head stepped towards her husband.

"Rory?"

"You lot." He paused. "Come on."

"What? I say that. What is it?"

"A mauve warning just came up in the Control Room. A Mauve warning? What's that?"

"That is a big deal Rory." The Doctor tugged his bow tie. "That, is a very big deal. Come on!" He raced away as his three companions were left to wonder what adventures awaited them this time.
