"Jack, I was wrong, it would seem you just might be able to run a team."

Jack smirked at Rose's comment.

"Right, let's get to work. Everybody meet in the conference room in 5 minutes with all the information you have about the latest rift activities. Rose, if you'd like to follow me?" He exaggerated offering his arm to her and she couldn't help but grin as she took it.

"Jack, exactly where am I?"

"Did I forget to mention that? Sorry, welcome to Torchwood 3, Cardiff."

"Torchwood?!" Rose yelled, stopping abruptly causing Jack to almost trip over. Everyone turned around to face her.

"You've heard of us?"

"Heard of you?!" Rose yelled as she turned to face Ianto. "Heard of you?! Yeah I've heard of you. I was there when Torchwood unnecessarily blew up the Sycorax even though they were already leaving Earth. I was there when Torchwood captured the Doctor, me and my mum and wouldn't let us help with the Dalek and Cybermen invasion until it was too late so I was forced to separate from the Doctor. Hell I'm partly the reason Queen Victoria created Torchwood in the first place! And you!" She spun around to face Jack, ignoring the shocked faces of the others at her revelation. "You work for them?! How could you work for a group like that?! The Doctor's their public enemy number one!" When she'd finished, Jack leaned towards Rose with his arms crossed.

"We're not like Torchwood 1. We're not!" He added at Rose's sceptical look. "We don't kill unless absolutely necessary, there is no way I would put the Doctor in our cells and seeing as Torchwood 1 was destroyed in the Battle of Canary Wharf, we don't answer to them. You should know me better than to think I'd join anyone like that anyway!" Rose just sighed.

"Alright I guess I can see your point. So where's this conference room?"

"First, I'm taking you to my office."

"Ooo, office. Look who's getting all grand, or are you just trying to show off?"

"Trust me, he always shows off."

"Thank you Owen. Don't you all have things you should be doing?" With a few mumbles the team went to collect what they had found out so far about the mysterious rift activity hoping Rose could enlighten them some more.

When they reached Jack's office, Rose finally had time to observe the Torchwood base through the windows while Jack collected the information he needed. She had to admit it was an impressive place and it clearly had some state of the art technology. The team itself seemed to work well together; all heading to what she assumed was the conference room. She couldn't help but find the glances they kept shooting to each other and towards Jack's office amusing. Obviously she had raised a few questions, not just about the rift.

"What do they know about you?" It surprised her that in such a brief conversation she had apparently revealed more about Jack to the team than he had in his entire time as their boss. Jack had turned to face her with an unreadable expression.

"Enough." Then smiling again "There's alot of things to know."

Before she could comment, she was distracted by a movement outside the window. She was shocked, not by what she was seeing, but when she was seeing it.

"You have a pterodactyl flying in your base? In the 21st century? Isn't that a bit risky?"

"What can I say? I always liked a bit of risk." Rose followed him towards the door. "We figured that as so few people ever see Torchwood, it would probably be safe to let her fly here. Besides, Ianto would kill me if I tried to send her back now."

"On the contrary sir, I think killing you would be too easy and I doubt you would really be bothered by it. No, I can think of other ways to make you realise that sending her back to her time would be a bad idea." Ianto had come up behind Rose and Jack as they walked into the conference room.

"Oh I can't wait to hear about those." Jack said with a smile and a smirk from Rose before getting down to business.
