A/N: Thanks for reading this far, if you have! In this chapter, Kate uses the wrist strap the Doctor gave her for the first time. As always, reviews are love, and all reviews (even flames!) will get free virtual cookies :)
It takes a whole year of the aggressive capturing/ brutal and often messy killings of various monsters before Kate actually uses the "Wrist Strap Thing", as she has dubbed it. She tells her second in command that she's taking the week off.
At home, Kate looks closely at the thing. She still cannot figure out the Doctor's cryptic message. The thing seems easy enough to operate, just enter a time and date, and add a location, and you're there. Kate's more interested in the setting that has something to do with blood... or... DNA?
Fuck it. She presses the key; then- WHAT THE HELL?- She's being pulled back and forth, side to side. She can't breath. Well fuck. This is really how I die? How lame. Suddenly, she's back on her feet. Kate looks around. Still in Cardiff. Suddenly, she sees him. She knows it's Jack because he used to wear that greatcoat EVERYWHERE. He looks just like he did when he went off to fight. Jack is running after another man, who is holding something the size of her head, and it's metal. Alien Tech? This is a term the Doctor taught her. She's watching Jack with more interest than the other man. He looks exactly the same... What the HELL? It's now that Kate remembers the Doctor's words. "You're just like your father, Catherine... A fixed point in time. Wrong." FUCK! He's the reason I'm still here? She wants to charge right up to him, but decides against it; for now, at least.
That wraps up Chapter 3! Feel free to leave a review! Also, I was never 100% sure of exactly how Jack's Vortex Manipulator worked, so I just kind of made that up. The "DNA key" that Kate presses basically takes her to where Jack is currently. I got this idea from what Jack told Gwen in Miracle Day about the wrist-strap and DNA.
