Elizabeth walked down the streets of Cardiff as if she owned them, which in a way she mused she does, after all she had spent so long protecting them. Not many people paid attention to her and she had to make a note to tell Jack that the technique works really well.
Wolfie's was one of the highest clubs there was. Sleek was the best way to describe it with the latest DJ technology and lightning, modern black bar and matching furniture. Elizabeth found that the curse of looking seventeen didn't get in her way when she entered. She was held back briefly by a guard telling her that the privet party room was hers.
Someone was most definitely planning all of this. Not that she cared much, she was going to enjoy this, she hadn't had so much fun in a loooooooooong time and it doesn't seem like this person wants to hurt her.
She entered the party room to find it empty. The table was set up with party nibbles and a large bottle of WKD a small card propped up against the bottle. She picked it up and flipped the card open.
It said in curly neat handwriting look behind you.
She turned to see a pretty short blonde girl that didn't look that much older than her.

The Doctor lounged on the opposite sofa nibbling his burger while watching Jack drown another scotch. The evening had been silent and tense while the TV blared for a while. Until Jack got annoyed with it and turned it off with a snarl.
"What's going on between you and Elizabeth?" the Doctor asked suddenly "you seem different round her. You're not in a secret relationship or something are you?"
Jack choked on his scotch and gave the Doctor a revolted look "me and Elizabeth? That's disgusting! I see her as if she was my daughter, I helped raise her and I swore to her mother I would do anything in my powers to protect her"
"Ok, ok just asking, no need to get your panties in a twist" the Doctor said holding his hands up, he then muttered under his breath "that's if you're wearing any"
Jack gave a weak grin "trying to picture me in my underwear Doctor? You saucy thing you only have to ask"
The Doctor took his turn to look revolted before he could come up with a retort Jack noticed Elizabeth's untouched plate.
"She didn't come out to eat?"
"Jack you haven't left your place since we got here, unless she was invisible I think you would have noticed if she came out to eat" the Doctor said sceptically
"it's not like her" Jack said "despite whatever was said between us she always comes out to eat" he got up and knocked on the door gently "Elizabeth" he murmured "Lizziebeth I'm sorry, can you come out? We'll talk"
The Doctor raised an eyebrow over the nickname Jack was using but didn't comment. Jack's knocks got a bit louder "come on Elizabeth, if you want to prove to me that you're not a child this is the wrong way to go about it"
Still no answer.
"You got five seconds Elizabeth" Jack snapped "five" no answer "four" still nothing "three" nada "two" absolutely nothing and Jack was getting worried "one!" he threw the door open to reveal an empty room with crumpled clothing on the floor and an open window "GODDAMIN IT!" Jack shouted storming out.
"Just like her mother" he muttered putting his shoes on "always disobeying me, never listens to me" he pulled on his coat and turned to the Doctor "she's probably at Wolfie's come with me? You could look into the bloody corporation while I'll try and talk some sense into that girl"
The Doctor quickly pulled his coat on and followed Jack, hoping to every higher being that he won't get pulled into another domestic.

The blonde girl grinned at Elizabeth "want a drink?" she asked "WKD you're favourite right?"
"How do you know that?" Elizabeth asked
"Been keeping an eye out for you" the blonde said "kept note of everything, tried my best to look after you. After all if it wasn't for certain bloody circumstances I'm sure we would have been good friends"
"You set the room up" Elizabeth said
"Yep, set the whole thing up really"
"That was you in the graveyard?"
"Yep" the blonde said popping the 'p'
"You own the Bad Wolf Corporation?"
"Me? Nah I'm the one whose going to inherit it. Well when I say inherit it I mean never but that's not the point" the blonde handed Elizabeth a glass of the blue sticky liquid and took a sip of her own "my Mum and Aunt own it. I just help out"
"Who are you?" Elizabeth asked a little too loud
"Jenny" she said "Jenny Noble, want a sausage roll? Or a cake? A cake with edible ball bearings? Nothing says a cake with edible ball bearings"
Elizabeth giggled nervously and accepted one of the cakes, as she took a large bite of it a large crash could be heard, yells and shooting sounds.
Jenny ran to the door and peered round, she hissed at what she saw and ran to the other side of the room "I'm sorry, I'm so, so, so sorry" she said to Elizabeth "but my Mum will kill me if I get involved in that and she would kill me even more if I took someone with me through the tunnel, you got something to protect you right?"
Elizabeth pulled out the gun that she carries with her at all times, Jenny gave her a sad smile "good girl, I'll call you tomorrow or something. I really am sorry" she then pressed a hand against a photo that was hanging up and the wall moved to reveal a secret passage way. Jenny looked back at her once more before running in and the wall moved back into place leaving Elizabeth alone.

Jack and the Doctor just got onto the street Wolfie's was located on when they saw people running out screaming and could hear the gunshots.
"Elizabeth" Jack shouted running towards the club, pulling out a gun. The Doctor fought the impulse to make a comment about guns and followed him.
When they entered the club they found a masked man shooting up at the bar and they could see someone shooting back.
"I just want the money!" the man shrieked "the corporation fires me so I take what's mine"
"You're screwed up in the head" a female voice shouted back
"JUST GIVE ME THE MONEY!"
The shooter from behind the bar stood up. It was Elizabeth "what no please?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
To Jack it happened all in slow motion, the man pressed the trigger down and Elizabeth didn't move fast enough. The bullet hit her square in the chest.
Jack closed his eyes as he heard her body land on the floor with a thud. He let out a scream of rage and shot the man three times, killing him. He ran to Elizabeth's side who laid there unconscious in a puddle of blood, he gathered her into his arms and shook her.
"Come one Lizziebeth" he said "wake up, please wake up"
The Doctor walked up solemnly and knelt by Jack, he held Elizabeth's wrist and checked her pulse. "Jack you got to let go, I'm sorry she's gone" Jack kept shaking her, ignoring the Doctor "Jack I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry but she's gone, she's dea-"
Elizabeth suddenly sat up with a large gasp.
The Doctor suddenly noted how she looked. She looked like Gwen Cooper with the bluest of blue eyes. He looked at Jack who had the exact same colour of eyes.
"Oh Jack" he said mournfully "oh Jack what did you do?"
