Captain Jack Harkness was looking through some reports when he heard the alarm go off. It wasn't the cog door or the intruder alarm. This was something big. He took a sip of his coffee before slipping on his braces and rushed out of his office. He ran up the few steps towards Toshiko Sato's work station. Toshiko was on top of it and was typing really fast on her computer. She pushed her glasses up and started to zero in on the location of whatever made the rift alarm go off. It has been a slow week. The rift was quiet as much wormhole gateway for anything and everything.

"I know that sound. Talk to me Toshiko. What do we have." Excitement was heard in Jack's voice. It was such a boring week. Well when Ianto wasn't around. He grinned at the memory.

"Jack… the rift. It opened underwater. Its something big.." Tosh reported and watched the Captain grin wider.

"Uh. I can handle big." Jack saw the screen where Tosh was pointing at. "Woa, that's big… How big is that?"

"A submarine type of vessel. It is not metal. Sort of… its living. Like squid shape living submarine." Tosh outlined the shape and ran it quickly through the system of all armed forces. "No match. But the material is American." Tosh pointed to the USA logo on one of the engines.

"Bloody Americans have to stamp everything." Doctor Owen Harper commented as he too wanted to see the vessel. His hands were covered in blood for another alien autopsy he was performing down at his lair.

"That's not USA. That's UEO" Jack eyes widen.

Its true. Everything that was said to him. True!

"Guess we are going to round us up a submarine!" Jack rushed back to his office and grabbed his coat.

"And how we going to do that?" Gwen yelled as Jack returned strapping on his Webley into his belt.

"Ianto!" Jack yelled and grinned. Ianto.

Ianto was the only other person he trusted. He knew.. He knew everything.

"She's ready sir." Ianto came into view and stood straight. He adjusted his suit jacket and tie before turning around towards a lower level exit. "Should I drive it this time?"

"What does he mean?" Gwen questioned as something unsaid was said between the two men.

"Come on, I will show you. Tosh, I need you here to help us with the navigation and any barriers we need to cross.. Owen.. I need you here with her.. Gwen , Ianto.. Lets go"

"And why do I have to bloody stay here?" Owen rolled his eyes. Ever since he died and came back to life as a bad death becomes her movie sequel he was stuck indoors. Gwen grabbed her leather black coat and waited with Ianto for Jack.

"Dead man don't float." Jack grinned and headed towards the lower levels of the Torchwood Hub headquarters. The underground facility had access to the river that headed to the ocean. Jack opened the hatch door and stepped into the launch bay. There on the surface of the water was a metal submarine that looked too much like the alien space ship Will Smith piloted in the movie Independence Day.

"What in the world.. " Gwen pointed to the submarine infrot of her.

"Well you did ask about the draft that came in through the lower levels." Ianto commented. Gwen turned to him and widen her eyes more.

"You said it was Myfanwy passing gas." Gwen remembered his explanation. Their pet pteranodon that came through the rift was in most of their excuses. Why there was clothes on the floor. Myfanwy. Why is their work chairs sticky? Myfanwy. Jack and Ianto smiled at each other .

"Welcome to the Shark. Isn't she a beauty?"

"Excuse me sir but I restored the bridge. Welcome to the Falcon." Ianto smiled and opened the hatch door to the Falcon.

"Does sound better then the Shark." Gwen stepped inside and looked around. "Bigger on the inside."

"Good place to play Hide and Seek. Right Ianto?" Jack followed and locked the door behind him. Ianto went to the controls and switched them on.

"Eh.. We should be going. Tosh, can you hear us?" Ianto flipped the switches and her image was shown on the ships monitor.

"Loud and clear Ianto. Hi" Tosh waved and adjusted her headset.

"Have a seat Gwen. Strap on because Captain Harkness has a heavy foot." Ianto took the seat on the right where the controls for the comm unit and scanners were at. The weapons and helm control was set up where Jack took a seat. Gwen sat at a small station of control switches and lights.

"What do you want me to do?" Gwen asked, wanting to help as she saw Ianto and Jack turn switches on and off.

"Hang on." Jack grinned and proceded to undock. "Falcon is wet."

"Sir." Ianto warned.

"What?" Jack grinned again and started to dive. The engines traveled the Falcon fast towards the large submarine below. The monitors around them now outlined the submarine readings and noticed it was trying to call out.

"Wow. That is huge. Do you think it wants to harm us?" Gwen asked. Jack shook his head and started to type on the console in front of him.

"No. The seaQuest is a research vessel and… "Jack stopped talking. Spoilers. He had to stop.

"You know this submarine? So its from your future?"

"No and.. No. Just trust me."

"It knows we are here." Ianto pointed it out on his screen.

"Well then, let them know we are here!" Jack ordered a comm. link. Jack stood up from his chair and faced the comm. unit camera. The monitor showed man with grey hair standing at attention looking back at him.

It was all true…

"Hello Captain Bridger. Letting the boy genius drive the sub in reverse I see?" Jack smiled as he put his hands behind him and tilted his head to the side. He heard a Hey in the back ground and knew that the kid was somewhere on the bridge listening.

"Excuse me, do I know you?" Bridger asked while he studied the man in front of him.

"Nope." Jack grinned again. He crossed his arms and tried to look around the crewmembers around the bridge. "Not a bad looking crew. Should of joined the Navy but the sea water really dries up my skin."

"Who are you?"

"Captain Jack Harkness… Torchwood."

"Torchwood?" Captain Bridger looked at Lucas who started to do a search with as much saved information in the seaQuest data banks.

"Tosh.. " Jack spoke into his headpiece and smiled back at the Captain on the monitor.

"Tosh?" Bridger was confused now. What did that mean? Just when he was going to question the Captain of Torchwood what Tosh meant he heard Lucas say no over and over again.

"Someone is shutting me off. Locking me… Damn he's good. Don't worry sir, I will get the data unlocked and…"

"Don't bother kid. Tosh is the best I have and She is really damn good. Lets cut down to the main reason we are both here. This isn't your time Captain Bridger. Not sure if right dimension either but… we are here to help get back to your time line. Now I will explain more on who we are but we need to come aboard. Tosh has to run a program and get you back on your way."

"HA! Tell Tosh she has been unlocked." Lucas unlocked the databases and started to do his searches. He typed when there was a small Japanese character on his screen laughing and locking him out again.

"Tosh says you have to do better then that." Jack grinned and waited for Bridger to allow them to dock. "Permission to come aboard sir?" Jack playfully saluted at Bridger.

"Very well. If you don't mind coming unarmed." Captain Bridger requested

"Just make sure the welcoming party has their guns on stun." Jack ended the transmission and looked back at his crew. "Alright, time to get them back to their time."

"Just like that? Jack, we can't control the rift." Gwen was confused. Jack made it seem as if he was a lord of time and space.

"I know. We have to get onboard. There's a hitchhiker on board that came through the rift. Energy level reads throughout the submarine. The sooner we find it, the sooner we can leave."

"We are just going to leave them here?" Gwen was getting upset. All Jack cared about was this hitchhiker. What about the crew?

"Yes. After we retcon them. Do you have a problem with that?"

"They have families and…."

"I am ordering you to step back. If you can not do that then I will leave you inside this submarine while Ianto and I carry out the mission. Is that understood?" Jack yelled and suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder. Ianto had to calm him down.

"We will do everything we can. But we have to capture what came through the rift first." Jack calmly said. Gwen eyes couldn't possibly get any larger as she nodded. Jack walked towards his controls and looked back to see the two still standing there. "I promise we will do everything we can. But we can't also have a set of older twins walking around interrupting timelines. There is no other choice but to erase their memories." Jack turned the helm controls and headed towards the launch bay of the seaQuest. The locking gears and seals were heard as the green light was indicating the team that it was safe to exit. "Lets go." Jack unarmed himself and opened up the hatch door. Ianto followed, removing his semi automatics from under his waistcoat. Gwen exited last and was surprised to see Ianto and Jack with their hands up.

"Gentleman.. If you pull out handcuffs it will make the heat level go up!" Jack was padded down and hands searched his pockets. "Hey hey!" Jack felt hands on his trousers pockets and tried to look at who pinched him. The others were searched as well as the security team reported to their lieutenant.

"They are unarmed

Lt. Brody." A seaman reported as Lt. Brody stepped aside to let Captain Bridger through.

"Of course we are unarmed. Captain Bridger, I am hurt. But being surrounded by these many men with guns made it up."

"Sir" Ianto warned.

"Captain Bridger, this is my second, Ianto Jones. And Weapons tech and combat instructor Gwen Cooper." Gwen gave Jack a look at the introductions but he must of have a reason for this.

"Pleasure Captain Bridger. Mind if we can put our arms down now?" Ianto stated and Bridger nodded.

"Now we have to talk. How do you know about us when we are in the past?" Bridger crossed his arms and studied the man in front of him. A part of him was telling him not to believe him. Captain Jack Harkness. Sounded like a name he made up.

"One of your crew men told me everything." Jack smiled. Bridger frowned at the thought that his crew would betray the UEO and reveal secrets. But…

"wait a minute. Who? It is 2008. The UEO or the seaQuest is still just an idea." Bridger ran his hand through his hair. "Brody, I want who ever revealed us under arrest. Who was it Captain Harkness?"

"Darwin."

AH! Darwin? I know right? All will be explained soon.. Very soon. But hitchhiker? What could it be? Hmm.. And will Gwen go against Jack and let the crew know. Oh ideas.. Ideas.. Ideas! AND Torchwood did have a submarine! The Torchwood book Another Life, the sub is mentioned! But it also says it was for two. But I made it to fit 3! Besides, the Stinger was made to hold one but then in season 2 is held up like 3 people! So there! J
