Chapter 2

Chapter 2

I do not own anything, except Lilly. But even she disagrees on that. I know I'm wrong about some details. So please just ignore it.

Today is shopping day. I get Thursday off so I'm spending it looking for things to buy. Not very exciting but I like shopping for shoes. I get the song stuck in my head, so here I am walking down Churchill way bobbing my head to the song.

Later I get a coffee and this man has the audacity to laugh at me because I didn't know splott was in Cardiff. Needless to say I spit some of my coffee at him and got kicked out of the shop.

Walking along minding my own business this big busted woman bumps into me almost causing me to drop my coffee. Apologizing, though I could hardly understand what she was saying, she helped me pick up some of my bags and I swear she was up to something because she left suddenly with a flip of her hair. Weirdo.

Later I get home I've finished my drink and I'm sitting watching TV when all of a sudden everything starts getting blurry. Switching the TV off I try to stand up but my legs have started to fall asleep on me. Crawling my way to the kitchen I make my way over to the fridge where I keep my medicine. Opening the door I find the bottle of gin and quickly down half of it. I wait a bit and my vision starts to clear up and I can feel my legs again. I swear it isn't a joke. Gin makes me healthy I have no idea why but any sign of getting sick, and I am cured with a shot of the stuff.

Standing up I return the bottle to its shelf. This is definitely been a bad day.

Friday

Walking up at 2 p.m. I take a shower and change into my lovely work clothes.

Pedaling my way over to work I saw a cute guy in a red jacket. He was heading over to what I think was mermaid quay. This is why I came here, hot men in tight clothing.

Pulling into the pizza place my manager growls at me.

"Where have you been? I have been trying to get a hold of you for 2 days!"

"Yesterday I was out of town; I didn't get home till this morning so I didn't realize you called." So what if I lied a little big whoop.

Putting my bike in the back I took out my hat and apron as my boss crossed his arms at me frustrated.

"I needed you to work yesterday, but seeing as you're here you can work over time instead."

"How about no. and I'll just deliver a pizza instead?" I challenged sending him a glare.

Looking me in the eye he finally backed down and nodded.

"Alright"

Later that night

"Torchwood again? What is with these people? You think they didn't eat anywhere else."

Filling out the last order of the day I sighed in relief that I at least knew how to get there this time.

Pedaling down some side streets getting me there faster I knocked on the door this time, figuring I can't get in trouble this way. Answering the door was pretty boy looking at me happily.

"17 again, look sorry about walking through the place, I knew its not "the proper" thing to do, but it was fun finding the computers, secret agent man." I said holding out the pizza box smiling in return.

Dropping his expression to a frown he took the box.

"You remember…Being here?"

He asked motioning me to come in.

"Of course I do, it was only two days ago." Pulling out a receipt I held out my hand.

"17 pounds mister"

"I…have it in the other room if you would like to follow me, we'll go and get it."

He stated more to himself as he walked around the counter and pushed the button causing the wall to open again.

"You're polite, but I swear you try to kill me I'll cut your balls off"

I replied sticking my hands in my jean pockets and walking through the doorway sighing.

Following after me pretty boy coughed. But didn't say anything more until we reached the next door.

"There's someone I would like you to meet," Pushing the button, he smiled at me then turned his gaze to the door.

"You're not in some sort of cult are you? Cause its like I told that catholic dude, I don't do that sort of thing." I quickly stated as the doors opened to reveal the same place as before only I could hear people talking.

"But how do we know she's somehow not tied in with john?" A familiar female voice calls out.

"Because we've run a background on her and she seems normal" A Mans voice replies.

Pretty boy walks into the place and makes a bee line trip to the computers.

"She's here jack." He states setting down the pizza and turning on the computer.

Walking in I look around and notice the two people who had been talking slowly make their way down a flight of stairs to my right.

One of them was the woman that bumped into me the other day.

"Hello again, now what about me 17 pounds?" I called out rather annoyed.

The man that accompanied the women walked over to me sticking out his hand smiling.

"Jack Harkness, what planet are you from?"

Shaking his hand I put on a fake smile. "Mars, now what about my money?"

Crossing his arms he looked me over as I copied his movement only with a sneer.

"No you don't look like you came from mars now tell me, where are you from."

"My. Mother. … now can you shut it and let pretty boy over there pay me?"

The woman gave a little laugh and pointed at me.

"See, she most know john."

"We have to give her a chance." The man said before looking over at pretty boy.

"Who is she?"

Reading from a computer pretty boy let out a cough before saying.

"Lilly Goodfellow, born in 1989, given to Mr. and Mrs. Ryan Goodfellow through the Lutheran Adoption agency in Dayton Ohio, on August the-"

"I'm adopted! ...I knew I wasn't Jewish." I interrupted dropping my hands to my side.

"-the 2nd. No more information as to actual parents. Went to a prep school until 8 when she was suspended for suspicion as to talking a teacher into commit suicide."

"That's horrible!" the woman called out looking at me stunned.

"No what was horrible was the fact she didn't know she smelled." I retorted smirking.

"Anyways," Pretty boy continued. "Graduated from public school two years ago and moved to London. Then to splott, then to James St. here. Only relationships were; 3 boyfriends, 1 girlfriend and a fern." Looking up from the screen he smiled and stepped away hands in pockets.

"No hospital records, no police incidences?" The rude woman asked looking rather confused.

"No," both pretty boy and I replied at the same time. Smiling I crossed my arms again. "Nothing I couldn't cure or hide from the police."

Cocking his head jack looked me over again. "You had relations with a fern?"

Arching an eyebrow I gave a disgusted look, "Yeah, I talked to it, it kept me company. But I didn't try to fuck it if that's what you mean."

Laughing jack held out an arm and stepped over to put it around my shoulders, "this is my kind of kid."

"Jack, we still don't know why the retcon didn't work." The rude woman pointed out.

Putting his face in mine Jack gave me a stern look. "Thank you for reminding me, now Miss Goodfellow you can either tell me what kind of alien you are and why you are here or I'll have to put you on the slab."

Leaning my face into his I glared. "I is no alien, try anything and I will have to kick your ass."

Laughing again jack suddenly wrapped his other arm around me. Now behind me holding my arms down he started barking out orders.

"Ianto get the seat ready, Gwen grab the syringe I'll handle her!"

"Oh Hell no." twisting my hand behind me I grabbed the first thing I could get a hold of and dug my nails in.

"LET GO!" Jack yelled suddenly standing still.

"YOU LET GO!" I yelled back pulling as hard as I could.

Pushing me away, he grabbed himself laughing, "You shouldn't have done that."

Rearing my fist back I smiled. "you shouldn't have grabbed me"

Letting my fist go it contacted his nose rather hard sending pain up my arm. Rubbing my hand I stepped back muttering "ow"

Gwen had come back with a needle but stopped to laugh at jack. "I thought you said you could handle her."

Wiping the blood that was slowly trickling out his nose jack stood up angrily. "I am handling it, thank you very much."

Charging at me then, he caught me off guard managing to pick me up off my feet.

"PUT ME DOWN" I yelled hitting his arms as hard as I could.

That's when he ran us into a wall.

Dropping to the floor I tried to protect my head. After hitting the ground I managed to find him right beside me, so I kicked him square in the ass.

Standing up I rubbed my sore arm at the same time something was stabbed into my neck.

Letting out a scream of pain I grabbed the syringe and yanked it out tossing aside.

Getting up also Jack grunted but smiled. "Nice Gwen."

"Are you sure its going to work? What if she is a human?" Gwen asked from behind me.

"Then oops?" Jack stated waving a hand at me as I started to roll my eyes into the back of my head. Falling to the floor I cursed at the two objects coming towards me before I blacked out.
