For the sake of my sanity, and a more workable plot, I have removed Toshiko, Gwen, Ianto, Owen, Martha, and unfortunately Donna from this story. Can we please pretend that they had never gotten on the Tardis, and they are not at SHIELD? It will only be Jack, the Doctor, and Rose.

"Wait till hawk sees what I came in," Natasha said smugly, she had grown more comfortable around the group. Almost as if they were friends. "He'll be so jealous."

They had arrived on the helicarrier, thanks to a very convenient blue box. Natasha had not been allowed to touch anything, and the Doctor had quickly confiscated her gun. Then he had thrown it out of the Tardis in plain flight.

When they arrived they were met with dozens of SHIELD agents, who were all pointing guns at the blue box and its occupants. Until they saw Natasha, who promptly told them to back off, because they were with her.

So, there they were, walking down SHEILD hallways while Natasha told them that "Hawk" would be jealous.

Jack, who was hunched over, his arm still restrained behind his back by Natasha's strong grip, sarcastically said "Ooh, that's great." He looked over his shoulder at her, "Now, are you ever going to let go of my arm? Cause it might permanently stay like that."

Natasha consented, muttering about how he better not try anything stupid, then she called over a few agents, who directed Jack to Fury.

"Hey, wait! Where are they taking me?" he called over his shoulder.

"To a lab," she said. He looked plenty worried, so she added "Don't worry."

He unsurely followed the two men to a door, which immediately slid open to reveal a crisp, pristine, white lab.

With a final look behind him, he walked into the white lab, the white doors shutting on the rest of them.

"Where are they taking him?" asked Rose.

Natasha almost chose to ignore the question, but she didn't, "It doesn't matter."

The atmosphere was turning slightly tense as the friends of Jack Harkness began to wonder what was going to happen to him.

Natasha sensed this so she reassured them that Jack wasn't in danger, and that they could all go once Fury was done making an 'offer' to Jack.

Then she turned to the Doctor, " Fury might want to see you too, Doctor."

"Who the is this 'Fury' that you keep mentioning?" Rose hissed.

"Fury is our director, or I suppose you could say our leader," said a slightly snarky voice from behind the group.

They all turned to see a pretty average looking man, and if it weren't for the various electronic pieces strapped to his head, or the debonair vibe that he gave off, and especially the circular shaped light that shone through his black dress shirt, they wouldn't have known he was Tony Stark. And they almost didn't, because he was covered head to toe in a dark, thick looking liquid.

Oil.

Natasha sucked in some air, only a bit bothered by Tony's presence. "Doctor, Rose, may I introduce you to-"

"Mr. Tony Stark," the Doctor cut in with a big smile. "Mr. Stark, I find you to be one of the most intelligent humans I have ever met. Well, we barely just met, but still- you've made quite some accomplishments. Although, I am quite disappointed that you would use you're bright mind to make weapons, but I suppose without you all the humans would be dead. Mind you, you should really try to make less of a mess next time. Either way, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Tony glanced at Natasha, his eyes narrowed down to small slits. Then he turned to Rose and the Doctor. If he was surprised that they were dressed in their wedding garments, he didn't show.

"You must be the Doctor," he said. "And you are…"

"Rose, I'm the Doctor's wife," said Rose with a smile.

"Wife, huh?" Tony said. "I wasn't aware you had a wife, Doctor."

"They just got married today, Stark," Natasha explained.

"I noticed…" He answered, looking down at a small see through device he held in his right hand. He pressed a few buttons and shoved the little device into the pockets of his soaked pants. "Oh, and Fury said to take them to him immediately," Tony's head shot up, remembering what the director had told him.

"Alright then, and Tony, would you get yourself cleaned up?" Natasha sniffed.

"Yes, Sir." Tony mock saluted. "Doctor, Rose, I'll see you around later," he also saluted them. Then he quickly walked down the hallway the had just gone through.

The Doctor and Rose stood there watching him retreat, until they turned and saw the Natasha was already feet away. The gave each other a look, then ran to catch up with her.

"He seems like a nice chap." Rose quipped cheerfully.

Natasha snorted, "Tony can be a good guy, because sometimes he's too cocky." They reached a door, Natasha punched in a numbered code, and they continued walking. "I wonder how he was able to get a woman as good a Pepper?"

"Pepper?" Rose asked. "Who's that?"

Natasha glanced over at them, "Pepper is his girlfriend, and practically his personal secretary."

"Where is she?" The Doctor asked, looking the shiny metal walls of the hallways up and down. "Does she live here?"

"On the helicarrier? No. She lives in the Stark tower, with Tony. He's just here to visit."

"He visits you while you're up in a helicarrier, how?

"With his suit, it can fly."

Rose mentally elbowed herself. Of course he had the suit, he was Ironman.

She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice when Natasha stopped walking, so she almost ran straight into her.

Natasha pushed open the double doors in front of her, letting the Doctor and Rose enter the room first. There they were faced with a large table and Bald African American man with an eye patch.

He smiled only slightly and extended his hand, readying himself to shake his visitors hands.

"Hello, Doctor, Rose. Welcome to SHIELD."
