One death means two lives chapter four:
Disclaimer: I own nothing apart from this story.
The torchwood gang may have been seriously out numbered (7 (including Rose), to the enemy's to the enemy's 1 million) but they put up a damn good fight. They knew what they were facing, the enemy didn't.
By 01:00 Am they'd killed 400 Daleks, 500 Slytheen and 350 Cybermen. They'd alerted the army but the enemy sent troops to finish them off before they arrived.
And now they were getting tired, their reflexes weren't as good and their reactions were slow, although none of them were seriously hurt they needed a miracle. "What number are you on Jack?" Martha shouted across the battle "around 200, you?" he replied, "250, ha I win," she yelled "great time to have a competition guys" yelled Owen "it gives it a bit of fun," he laughed. Fun wasn't all they needed they needed a solution. Jack had half a mind to send Martha and the team back to base and put them on the extrapolator but he knew they wouldn't go. He wished the doctor would hurry up and find them. But the doctor would be to ill to find them at the moment so they were on their own.
Hang on? Didn't Jack have the doctor's hand? Yes, it was in his rucksack back at base. He had a theory and if it worked it would heighten their chance of winning a great deal. "MARTHA, COME WITH ME" he yelled "WHY?" "I'VE GOT A PLAN" "GOOD ENOUGH REASON IF YOU ASK ME" "TEAM, WE'LL BE BACK AS SOON AS WE CAN," he shouted. But the team were too busy to hear him.
Jack and Martha ran back to the base. When they were finally in Jack took Martha to the medical table and ran to his rucksack to get the hand. He got back to Martha who was looking at him with questioning eyes and said "I need you to do something that will change your life forever" "what is it?" she was starting to look scared. "I need you to let me remove your right hand so I can sew on the doctors in its place" he pleaded "Why?" "If I sew on the doctors hand it will turn you into a Timelord, more specifically a female version of the doctor, when your DNA mixes you'll be knocked out for an hour or so but when you come round you'll have all the doctors knowledge and you'll be able to save us" he explained "I wouldn't ask you to do it if I didn't think it was our last hope of survival, will you do it?" she slowly nodded her head to say yes. Jack kissed her on the cheek and set to work.
The procedure itself would only take a few minutes but the transformation would take an hour. First he injected morphine into her veins to numb the pain as much as he could and then he began. First by literally chopping her hand off and then placing the doctors in exactly the right position so that the veins could connect properly, then she was out cold. He waited until all the veins were in place then sewed the outside skin together. He used the hour to prepare any spare weapons the team might need so that by the time Martha woke up there were six spare guns for each member of the team.
She was a little unsteady on her feet for a few minutes but that was soon under control. "Hey there take it easy Martha" Jack rushed over and grabbed her around the waist "Thanks Jack" she kissed him on the cheek and sat down for a few minutes, she needed to get used to the new her. She looked human, she felt human, but she could feel two hearts beating and knew that she wasn't. Jack came rushing in with a syringe in his hand. "What's that for?" she asked, "I need to do a blood test to make sure the transformation has worked" he replied "you can pick up time lord DNA?" she was curious "the gallifreyan king, Coram, made that impossible, he said it was for the safety of our kind" she looked stunned at the revelation that she could look into the doctors memories, and really quite horrified "to make it impossible to trace you need a …" jack started "Chameleon circuit to be placed around every Timelord on the planet, but a circuit like that needs a massive transmitter which would've been on Gallifrey itself. And once Gallifrey was destroyed so was the transmitter" finished Martha. "Oh…my…god…I'M A SCIENCE GEEK" she screamed Jack just laughed at her. In the time they'd been talking he'd taken a blood sample and received the results "yep your officially a Timelord" he concluded, "well I can feel all sorts of theory's pulsing through my brain but only one will do the trick"
And there she was leaping about all Doctorish, talking a load of techno babble that would make no sense to anyone but Jack and herself (and the doctor of course). Within two hours they were up and running, victory was finally within their grasp.
