A/N Hi! If you read this story, I will make you laugh, cry, giggle, sigh, and fangirl. Do you think that the Doctor or Master had family back on Gallifrey? I do. What would happen if a little girl with a TARDIS escaped the Time Lock? My take on what would happen with that and if she were to join Torchwood. This is my first actually typed and published fanfic, so all I really want is to get feedback!
Being in Torchwood means that you get the coolest technology ever, but the shittiest hours on Earth and possibly beyond. It also comes with cool info that the public doesn't get to know until Owen gets drunk, and it comes with the worst cleanup jobs for Ianto. Being the youngest person to be employed by Torchwood (so they think) is difficult, especially when you're keeping secrets.
Jack already thinks he knows everything about us, but he really doesn't. Everything he knows about me was manufactured specifically for my life for the next 9 years. I'm not really 17, more like 700. I have a bicardiological system, and a respiratory bypass system, but according to my records, I'm a chimera. And I'm not allergic to pollen and latex, just aspirin.
In other words, I'm a Time Lady living as a human without the help of a Chameleon Arch. I'm hiding from my brother.
Well, seeing as Koschei and Theta are both out there somewhere, one might say I'm hiding from my brother and his friend.
Yup.
Literally the last Time Lady alive.
Was that enough time to register that bit of information?
Judging by the fact that you look like a gaping fish, I'm gonna guess no.
How 'bout now?
You good?
Great.
So... Back to Torchwood.
Yes, I work for Torchwood, and even with all the bragging Jack does about knowing all of us so well, that the full extent of my lies is not even known by me at this point.
Sad, right?
See, I could tell you a sob story: grew up in a family that favored my brother, was ignored by my brother and his best friend, was left behind alone with unloving parents when the boys went to the academy, was ignored when I went to the academy, barely escaped the War with my life, no family left, blah blah blah.
Well, no. I'm not a charity case.
I earned this job. "Fair" and square.
Oh.
You wanna know what I mean by "fair", huh.
I sorta pulled a Clara.
Ya know, the splintering into someone's time stream?
I didn't exactly do the same thing.
See, I have a TARDIS.
But my Chameleon Circuit actually works. It currently looks like a dumpster in front of my building.
What I actually did to get this job was go through and meet Jack at random points in his timeline and pretend to not know him each time.
Needless to say, it worked.
The instant he saw me again, he took me to a cafe and asked me about myself. I had a pretty good idea of who he was already because his face was all over the news already. I trusted him and he ended up offering me a job after I took down a Weevil.
Jack, 0
Koschei, 0
Theta, 0
Me, 1!
