AN: So this is the first bit of fanfiction i've ever written. Is it good, bad or ugly?? Once again thank you to ILMPP for an idea that wouldn't leave me alone.
Disclaimer: I own nada, zip, nil. It all belongs to BBC, except Andi, who belongs to Savannah None-of-your-business.
Chapter 2 – Deja Vu of a sort
Rose's face paled at what had appeared before her.
The faint whisper "No" came from her mouth and Jack turned, looking at her questioningly. Then he realised - he had never seen the massive sphere that appeared in London, but soon put two and two together.
"Oh." that was all he was capable of saying. The last time he had met a dalek, he died, then Rose brought him back to life. So maybe this would be the thing to finally finish him once and for all.
"You know what that is right?" Rose asked, her voice breaking. The atmosphere in the hub had changed suddenly from relaxed and fun to fear in the space of a minute, and shutting off the alarms had only made it worse. It was so quiet.
"Yea." Jack replied with a grim look on his face "Team?"
They all nodded, fear in their eyes, but they refused to let it show any more. They dealt with aliens every day, why should this be any different?
Meanwhile Andi was in the office with Ianto, her face pressed up against the window. She thought she might finally meet the monsters of the bedtime stories her mother had told when she was much younger. Andi was terrified, but so curious she couldn't run away, even if she wanted to. Ianto moved her away from the window, so she would not see the scene if something bad happened, as it would, most likely.
"What now?" Tosh asked moving to stand with Rose and Jack, Owen and Gwen followed soon after.
"Now?" Rose said, not taking her eyes off the sphere. "Now we wait"
"Wait? For what?" Gwen asked slightly confused.
"For… I don't know. The Doctor? Cybermen? It to open? I don't know." Rose was powerless against the thing that floated before her. And that scared her. There was no Doctor to protect her this time. Jack couldn't die, but he was still only human, he had never fought and won against the Daleks. Rose was the only reason he was immortal, and there was no way she'd be able to pull that feat off again, it had nearly killed her the first time.
Even if The Doctor was here, what would he be able to do to stop them anyway? He's tried shutting them in hell, the void. I've disintegrated millions of the things. One even listened to us and blew itself up, but I doubt one of them is going to do that again, it only worked because I touched it, and suddenly for some reason it had emotions. Like anything else on it's own, it was lonely, had given up on ever finding another Dalek, and so that was the end of that particular Dalek. No, the Dalek inside the voidship is never going to have human emotion, it or they will probably be members of the Cult of Skaro. They were made to think like the enemy, to find new brilliant ways to survive. Most of these ways involved genocide unfortunately, and usually against the human race. so I think trying to reason will not be a good idea.
So they waited and they waited and Rose kept thinking. Always trying to find a way to stop any Daleks that could appear from inside the ship, before they did any damage at all. That was if it was even daleks in there - it obviously wasn't single species technology from what she had gathered through the Doctor's ramblings the last time they had seen one of these voidship thingies. So far though, Rose had drawn a blank. She had no idea how to deal with this. With the Doctor, she'd seen all sorts: werewolves, Slitheen in Downing Street, robot trumpet playing Santa Clauses, wierd droidy things that wanted Madame de Pompadour's brain, Ood, and even a monster that told her the future, that she would die in battle, well sort of die anyway. So why, with all this experience could her brain not function when she needed it to?
Nothing happened for days, and Rose Andi and the Torchwood team were beginning to go back to normal - well, as normal as life with Torchwood can be. Then one day, just over two weeks later, the same alarms sounded. A similar scene erupted in the hub, and Andromida was once again stuck in Jack's office with Ianto. Her face was up so close to the window that when she gasped this time, a misty fug appeared blocking her view.
