Waking up, Rosalie immediately felt that both her hands and feet were cuffed together. She tried to get up but was pushed back by large, cold hands. She whipped her hands around, aiming for this persons head but she was surprised when a strong blow landed squarely on her shoulders, knocking her back onto her back. As a comeback she tried to flip her body around so she could face this person but as soon as she bunched her muscles to flip, the hands came down on her once again, pushing her into the cold, hard stone bench and she couldn't move.
Jack had to admit, this girl was good. She had strong muscles and it looked as if she had spent her years of life working out and practicing those moves. Still, no one could beat a 51st century time agent he thought smugly. He felt the girl struggling under his grip and decided that this was as good a time as any.
"You were looking for me?" he started unsure.
Immediately the girl stoped struggling and relaxed. "Well, well, well. Captain Jack Harkness" She said, laughing softly.
"Yes..." Jack replied, he was unsure as to how this girl knew him. He was certain he hadn't met her before. "That's me"
"Sorry about earlier" Rosalie started nervously "after UNIT, I'm kind of a bit touchy about being locked up and lied to."
"That's all right" Jack replied, surprised by her sudden change of mood.
"Oh my gosh!" Rosalie squeaked "the young man, he was in here, did I hurt him badly?" she asked franticly.
"No" Jack smiled "you only knocked him out and he has a cut lip but honestly, with the way he's been acting to the rest of the team, he had it coming. But the more important issue at hand is you" he continued" this may sound weird but; "what's your story? How did you come to be like this?"
Rosalie thought for a second and the mumbled something under her breath. Jack strained to hear what she said, He thought that it kinda sounded like 'well you did tell me to' this really confused Jack.
"Well" Rosalie started "It all started when I was 12, in the year 1924. God... this sounds like a fairy tale. Anyway, one day a..."
"Well?" said jack eagerly
"Ok, to avoid major spoilers, I will call it a threat. This Threat appeared out of nowhere and people started disappearing. Next thing we know, a blue box appears and two strangers slot themselves into our tight nit community. One day I was walking home and found that the threat was cornering the two newcomers, I distracted it and it chassed me so I ran in a loop around the town and when I got back to the Strangers, they were better prepared and killed it. They introduced themselves as The Doctor and Captain Jack Harkness." Rosalie chuckled. Jacks expression could be described as a stunned mullet.
Rosalie smiled sympathetically "One day there will be nothing to tie you to this world, it will be too small for you and eventually you will travel with him again." Waiting for a sign of recognition she asked "Should I continue?" and Jack just nodded.
"Well" Rosalie continued "you and the doctor explained what was happening and let me help. 3 days later they came in force, millions and billions come for the thrill and honour of killing the infamous doctor. I got in their way, trying to stop them from killing you and the Doctor but they killed me instead. They found the doctor and you hiding in the tardis. Knowing that you had no chance, what would happen and that the doctor was on his final regeneration, you sucked in the heart of the time vortex, destroying the threats and saving the doctor. But Just like Rose, you tried to save me, as a thankyou and exactly like Rose did, you brought me back forever even though you tried desperately not to knowing the pain and suffering Immortality cause... and that's it."
"ok" Jack replied quietly "um..." he continued "well we should run some tests, if that's alright um... compare you to me, Introduce you to the team, you know..."
Rosalie was still smiling "Your team would be Toshiko, Ianto, Owen and Suzie right?" she asked
"Ah no actually. Suzie... well, Suzie died. We have Gwen now, Gwen Cooper. Well we better get you up there." Jack replied, raising his hand to his ear piece and muttering something about preparing and Martha.
"Um, could you..." Rosalie ventured nodding towards he cuffs. "I promise I'll be good" she said innocently.
Jack reached over to un-cuff her but paused. "Why did you try and attack Martha earlier?" he asked.
"When you first were recruited" she started "Torchwood observed you, tried to kill you and then gave you a job. UNIT observed me, brought me in, killed me, ran tests, killed me some more, ran some more tests, locked me up, cut me up for 'experimental reasons' and watched me piece myself back together ,killed me even more and kept me locked up and kept torturing me for whole two years. You don't think that I might possibly hold a grudge. And when I found myself locked up again, I thought that she had tricked me into coming to another hell hole."
"Thanks for telling me that" Jack replied as he unlocked her hand cuffs, looking down with horror at two black rings that were on the skin around Rosalie's wrist. "Are those bruises?" He asked taken back.
"Yep" Rosalie Replied "two years worth" with this, Jack took her hand and started to lead her up to the main Hub.
