Second chapter! Whooohooo, yea. I like continuing this story, it's fun really. I'm sorry Doc, but you're going to be in some pain for a couple chapters…Spoilers…
Chapter 2
When the teleport stopped, River noticed that she was in Cardiff, Wales. An elegant eyebrow rose at the TARDIS' decision, but she remembers one of the Doctor's closest friends, Jack Harkness, resides in the city under the rift. Torchwood was and is an odd organization, one of its largest branches, Torchwood One, had been destroyed a while back. A large part of Torchwood Three's crew was lost on the turn of the millennia.
The dear half-Time Lady navigated to the tourist office, where she remembered where one of the members guarded the door to the secret organization. An off thought of hers was how incognito Torchwood had become, almost the instant a certain Time Agent joined.
She entered the small shop and rang the bell on the desk. A tall and well dressed man entered the room through a curtain of beads and asked, "Yes?"
"Sorry to disturb you, but this is really a matter of severe importance. I mean you no harm, I need to see Jack Harkness, and quickly, my husband's life is on the line."
"One quick question," He breathed in noticeably, "How do you know about Jack and where he's located?" Ianto inquired, trying to keep his boyfriends enemies in check, was tedious at times.
"My husband was, and still is, a close friend of Jack's, from what I hear." She purred.
"Who might your husband be?" His eyes narrowed.
"We might want to take this in inside, its sensitive information. Please?"
"Fine…" Ianto, as his name tag read, got up and flipped the sign on the door to closed, and locked the door.
They entered through the cog doors, to a gun pointed at the beautiful Time Lady, but she seemed unfazed.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you, my husband might get mad if he hears you of all people cost me my last life." Mischievousness was shining brightly in River's eyes. She walked up the stairs and put her hand out to shake.
"You still haven't answered my question from earlier, who is your husband?" Ianto pushed, irritably.
"Haven't figured it out all ready, I'm disappointed in you Torchwood." Seductive humor glistened in her eyes.
"He married you?!" Our fine captain said, finally getting out of his shock, realization hitting him like a weevil. He returned the hand shake, but with a little more squeeze than necessary.
"Jealous?" She said as she let go of the false intimate exchange. She walked around a little to survey her new territory.
"Maybe, maybe not." Jack's eyebrows just raised a smidgen. He followed her on her short journey, and her new destination, the conference room.
"You should be, he's surprisingly amazing in bed." Owen snorted at the strange woman's antics. The mood had become oddly awkward and tense in a few seconds. The group made it to the conference room and started seating themselves.
"Now you're just teasing!" He said as he politely pushed in the Time Lady's chosen seat, then he proceeded to sit across from her and beside Ianto.
"Of course I am he wouldn't have married me any other way. Plus the same species thing helps too. I don't think he's really into humans that much." She started to get comfy in the chair as she laid back.
"Time Lady."
"Yes~"
"Can somebody tell me what's fucking going on here?" The first one to lose patience at their bickering was Owen.
"Sorry, really off track. Doctor River Song."She said as she shook their hands.
"You took the name?" Jack hugged River, and kissed her on the cheek.
"No, I earned it, just like he did. Only I didn't go through 75 Gallifreyan Years of Gallifreyan schooling. I can't exactly take his name, he said River Lungbarrow didn't have the same ring to it anyway."
"He actually earned a doctorate; I thought it was just a name or a funny title of his planet."
"It's a little of all that, plus some extras, but yes, I guess he did get his degrees in Temporal Physics, Gallifreyan Medicine, and History Teaching, though he never did get that TARDIS license."
"Gods, and I travelled with him in that thing…" Jack commented, mortified at the new information.
"She guides him most of the time. You know how close they are."
"We're still out of the loop, aren't we?" Ianto finally unable to tolerate being left out of the quick conversation spoke up.
"Yes we do need to make hasty action if we want to get him out of the mess he's gotten himself into." Her once humorous smile morphed into a look of seriousness, anxiety, and fatigue. Torchwood noticed the façade had fallen and her current demeanor finally shone through, but this helped the agents to see the severity of the situation.
"What is it this time and please don't tell me Daleks, we're not equipped to something so dangerous." Jack got serious as well. With his mood changing, the entire room became focused on the strange woman's tiring tale.
Explaining the sudden kidnapping of a particular Time Lord was more taxing than River anticipated. She introduced herself and her absent husband and gave a brief history of the recent past events, as regeneration and losing two of his closest friends, Amy and Rory Pond (Williams). She added that these events had taken their toll on his will and strength, his morals and meanings were becoming blurred, his fight to keep humanity alive and flourishing would come to an utter halt if he didn't get his act together.
"I need a hot bath so I'll be back tomorrow to give you more info on the kidnappers. Call Martha and see if she could help. Even with this special Time Lord blood, it doesn't help with something on such a massive scale." The shadows of her curly hair made her eyes look even more downcast than before.
"Of course, be safe. You never know what might happen." Jacks protective side was already showing to his new acquaintance.
"How could I not be, being around him naturally gives you better senses…", and with that she left the Hub.
An awkward silence filled the room until Owen finally asked, "How the hell did you know she is married to the Doctor, it seemed like you've never met her before."
"I saw his old Sonic Screwdriver in her pocket, it looked like it was about to fall apart." He was lying through his teeth, Owen knew he was, but he didn't want to push his boss. Jack let out a sigh before saying, "Go get some rest and I'll call up some acquaintances of his."
Mrs. Dr. River Song found a particularly nice hotel to crash in, a large one bed room, with a view of the Thames. One of the greater things about the room was the en suite bathroom with a hot tub, instead of a regular old shower. The Doctor had taken her here for their twentieth anniversary, and quite frankly he had out done himself. That night and the four that followed were relaxing, not taxing.
She let herself indulge on the hot tub, and while doing so her phone, in which she always kept near, rang. She answered with a simple "Hello?"
"This is River right. Sorry, River Song?" A young, female's voice on the other side of the line.
"Yes and who might this be?"
"Clara Oswald, a pleasure to finally meet the Doctor's wife in person."
Well, I actually posted another chapter…
Major writer's block this time, but I made it. I had half of this done, and high school became a problem. Christmas is coming, so maybe it'll be easier to post a couple more chapters.
If you see any mistakes that are major, or even minor ones, tell me. I'll be able to fix them.
I don't know about you guys, but it seems like I'm repeating certain words and it agitates me for some odd reason, if you have any idea how to ease this tell me, cause I don't know how much long I can take this. Dammit, I did it again…
I know it's kinda short but writers block is holding me up.
