Note: The back-story of one of my OC's crosses over with the Buffy-verse. For the purpose of imagery, when I wrote this I pictured Sage as looking like a 24 year old Taylor Swift and Peyton as Jamie Bamber about when he filmed Hornblower. Sorry about the amount of OC info, but I want to introduce these two.

"Dr. Knight!"
Sage Knight heard her name called as she exited a small coffee shop not far from the Roald Dahl Plass and attempted to shoulder her huge, heavy duffle bag without spilling the steaming beverage. Carefully, she turned and smiled.
Doctor Peyton Wallace was jogging towards her, a smaller backpack slung over his own shoulder. She had been introduced to the young Scotsman the week before at UNIT headquarters and found his gentle, friendly demeanor quite pleasant. He had been working in their medical division for the past year but had been more than willing to transfer to Torchwood as the military aspect of UNIT never held much appeal to him.
"Good morning, Dr. Wallace," she greeted him as he came to a stop at her side.
"Ready to get to work?" he questioned merrily, pulling a bottle of green juice from the side pocket of his bag.
Sipping her coffee as they began to walk across the Plass, Sage laughed. "As soon as I get enough Caffeine into my system…What are you drinking?"
"Kiwi, Green Apple and Wheat Grass," Peyton replied, grinning as she reflexively wrinkled her nose. "Great way to start your morning."
"No coffee?"
"I try to avoid caffeine. It makes me hyper."

Captain Jack Harkness stood on the Plass near Torchwood's invisible lift, watching as his two new employees made their way towards him. For once the sun was out and a light breeze was rolling in off the Bay. Silently, Jack took a moment to consider the windswept blond pair.
When Jack began his search for new staff discreet inquiries led him to the New Council of Watchers, a clandestine group dedicated to keeping tabs on Earth based non-human phenomena. The head of the COW recommended young Watcher Sage Knight when Jack asked for possible assistance. The 24 year old had already survived a mass slaughter of the majority of the Watcher's Council then helped rebuild the organization.
As a Watcher, she has a vast array of knowledge pertaining to mysticism and magic as well as the occult, esoteric and the obscure. Her language and research skills are top notch, as is her ability to absorb new knowledge, which would be important as she had no experience with aliens. But what Jack really recruited her for was physical ability. Trained from childhood in a vast array of martial arts, weapons and tactics, she would bring a formidable force to the team as well as be able to assist the others in learning new combat skills.
Tall, blond and tanned with green eyes, she would have been the girl the boys lusted after in high school, but something about the way she held herself deterred them. There were no soft pastels or gauzy fabrics for her. Instead she wore black boots, cargo pants and layered black and white tank tops that accented her athletic build and her hair was braided tightly against her head.
Conversely, equally blond Peyton Wallace looked much softer. His compact, broad shouldered form was encased in blue jeans and a wine colored t-shirt over a light blue Oxford shirt. His fluffy reddish blond hair was tousled and his cheeks flushed rosy in the wind.
Only a year Sage's senior, Peyton was a surgical prodigy in Martha Jones's division at UNIT. He had impressed her with his competency and curiosity and had jumped when offered the transfer to Cardiff. Apparently he was possessed of an explorers heart and disposition, something that didn't flourish in the military environment of UNIT HQ.
When the pair trotted into earshot, Jack said, "Doctor Wallace, Doctor Knight."
Sage looked at him, then cocked her head to the side. "Captain Harkness."
Peyton looked like he was trying not to chuckle. "Captain."
"Please, it's just Jack," he smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. It had been a while since any smile had. "Something funny?"
There was a genial shrug from the medic, but Sage just said, "Martha's description of you was just eerily accurate. We thought she was kidding when she said you wear pretty much the same outfit everyday."
"Why mess with something that works so well?" Jack joked, stepping up onto the paving slab and waving them to join him.
Sage stepped up beside him and planted her feet shoulder width apart, while Peyton hesitated, then gingerly took position on Jack's other side. Raising his wrist to thumb the lift control, Jack said, "Welcome to Torchwood."
Next up, Ianto, Gwen and Rhys meet the new guys! Please Review!
