Sammie cautiously stepped out of the S.U.V into the quickly darkening evening and shivered as the cool winds whipped around her, she looked back at her companions wondering what was going to happen to her.

Jack stepped up beside her and gently put his hand on her shoulder but she coldly shook it off and glowered at him.

The other members of the team were bringing the last of the equipment out of the boot and were muttering amongst themselves

"So what do you think?" Owen started

"Of what?" Toshiko asked innocently

"Her" he said gesturing to the young girl

"Owen I think you're being paranoid, she just a child" Gwen said

"So why did he need all of us to bring her here then if she's just a child then what is Jack so afraid of"

Gwen and Toshiko looked at Owen and realised that he was right, why did Jack need all of them, what was he scared of and why was the girl so important?

Jack lead the young girl towards the small tourist information centre they used as a decoy, as he walked alongside her, he could feel her shivering in the cool air but when he caught a glimpse of her expression it was as cold and blank as the cloudy night sky the walked under.

A few minutes later they were inside the hub, the rest of the team busied themselves for the arrival of the young girl and Jack lead her over to what Sammie assumed was a cross between a medical station and a morgue. She stood there with her arms folded scowling at the small smiles Jack passed her way.

Within a few minutes Owen had reappeared wearing a lab coat and putting on some latex medical gloves.

"If you wouldn't mind sitting up here please" Owen said in a casual tone still not looking her in the eye, she stood there not moving

"Sammie…" Jack started but she closed her eyes and ignored him. A sudden memory flashed into her mind

Owen stood dancing on the rooftop with a tall dark haired woman in a dress, he looked happy, and then the scene changed to him standing by a plane

"What about me please, please don't go" Owen begged the woman

The woman took off her scarf and put it round his neck and kissed him gently and softly said "What memories I'm taking with me"

Slowly Owen nodded and shut the plane door and watched the woman fly off into the distance, a few silent tears fall down his cheeks

Sammie's eyes flashed open and she gasped, Jack and Owen both stood there almost as alarmed as she was, she looked at Owen in shock that wasn't her memory it was his!

As she looked up at Jack she saw his eyes deep in thought

"Owen you know what to do, I want all the necessary tests done as soon as possible" he murmured quietly to Owen

"What are you going to do?" Owen asked back

"I need to do some research" and Owen nodded as Jack left the room.

He half turned to Sammie and still without looking at her asked her "Can you sit up their please" and still with her mouth hanging open she did as she was told

Owen busied himself preparing for these tests Sammie was about to undertake.

She watched him carefully her green eyes following every move and finally after a while she spoke

"Why wont you look at me?" Owen made no reply so she asked again "Why wont you look at…"

"Because you're not right" he said interrupting her

"Oh thanks you really know how to make a girl feel special" she said sarcastically

"I can't help it you are so wrong"

"So you're scared of me?"

"No…"

"Then look at me!"

Owen sighed and looked up into her eyes, flashes of memories flowed through Sammie's mind and all the time the tall dark haired lady kept reappearing. The hub lights flashed on and off and Jack and Ianto came running into where Owen and Sammie were

"What happened?" Jack said

Owen gestured towards Sammie "Her"

Ianto sighed "I'll go down to the basement and sort out the generator then"

Jack stood there for a few minutes looking at Sammie and then left

"Well that was why I didn't look at you"

"What?" Sammie asked "You mean I did that with the lights?"

"As I said you're just wrong" Owen said with a glimmer of what could be classed as a smiel

Suddenly the lights stopped flashing and Owen just sighed and continued the medical examination.

Jack sat in his office with his head in his hands, he was so deep in thought he didn't even hear Gwen enter

"Are you ok?" she said softly and Jack jumped

"Yeah…" he said after composing himself

"She did that didn't she?"

"Yeah…"

"How?"

"I don't know exactly but she's sort of an energy source and she channels it through people's emotion but it seems to be getting stronger"

"Does she know?"

"No…and she doesn't know how to control it either"

"You need to tell her"

"I know I should have told her ten years ago"

Gwen looked confused but Jack stood up abruptly and made his way towards the medical bay.

Owen stood there with Sammie in silence writing down the results, both of them looked up when Jack entered by Sammie's gaze quickly dropped to the floor. Owen passed the clipboard to Jack and left giving a small smile towards Sammie. When he was gone Sammie stared up at the lights

"I made them do that" she said without looking at Jack

"Yeah" he said slowly

"How"

"It's hard to explain"

"It's always hard to explain" she said, the coldness creeping back into her voice

"It's hard to explain because I don't know how it works myself"

"He said I was wrong"

"You're not wrong, you're just different"

She snorted in disgust "How many times have I heard that before"

"You're different because you seem to be able to channel energy…by using people's emotions and memories"

She looked directly at Jack "I'm too old for fairy stories"

"This isn't a story it's true"

"Prove it"

"I can't prove it because you're the only one who can do that"

Sammie paused for a moment "Did she know?"

"Who?"

"My mother"

Jack nodded

"How long did she know about it"

"Forever" Jack said slowly

"That's typical of her"

"She was trying to protect you"

"No because if she was trying to protect me then she would be here and I wouldn't be here being treated as a freak!" she shouted and the lights flickered threateningly

"I promised her"

"Yeah well no one asked me what I wanted"

"You don't have much of a choice"

"Yes I do!" she screamed and with that she got up and ran out of the hub dodging past Ianto at the front desk of the faux tourist information and into the cool night air.

Sammie's mind was a blur she had no idea where she was going but she knew she had to get away.
