Drew sat in the living room, staring at her brother as she listened to her mother scream at the Doctor for 'letting' her get shot, "That's it I'm going in there" she said standing up, Luke looked up form his home work "Good luck" he laughed, she pushed the kitchen door open to reveal her mother standing in the middle of the kitchen yelling in the Doctor's face as he stood in front of her calm and collected. Drew rolled her eyes of course he wasn't going to fight back he still blamed himself "Mum!" she yelled over the older woman, "Stop" Sarah-Jane looked furiously over at her adoptive daughter "You're going to defend him!" she yelled at her

"Yes, because he didn't shoot me, none of this is the Doctor's fault" she said calmly not wanting to fight with her mother "If anything you should be thanking him, he was the one that saved me" she held her mother's arms "Mum, think about what you're doing. Think about who you're yelling at" Sarah-Jane ripped her arms away from her daughter, Drew gasped and grabbed her chest, the Doctor grabbed her as she swayed "I'm done listening to this, I'm not ten anymore mum; I'm going with him and there's nothing you can say to stop me. I'm going to get hurt and I'm going to risk my life, being with the Doctor is no different then going to work for Torchwood everyday so just stop" Drew turned from her mother and walked out of the kitchen, the Doctor following her; he glanced back at Sarah-Jane who now stood with her hands over her mouth. "I need to go back to the flat, I need Jack to look at it," she said as he helped her put her coat on

"Why do you need Jack? I'm sure I could handle it just fine" he huffed putting his own coat on, his jealousy of Jack starting to show through

"Please don't fight me on this" she sighed looking up at him; he nodded and followed her to the flat. She stopped half way through the main door almost causing the Doctor to run into her "What time is it?"

"Half one, why?" the Time Lord replied, she turned around and walked back out of the building "Where are you going now?" he asked slowing his pace to walk beside her

"Jack will be at work, he told me this morning that he'd have to go in after Cofelia screwed up a whole building. Torchwood will have to rip out all the alien technology in it and heir people to come in and rewire everything before the building can be used again. I'll take you front door," she explained coming up on a small tourist information office on the water front, she pushed the door open "Hullo Ianto" she said quietly, before closing the door behind the Doctor, the Doctor's eyes snapped to the door as it locked, Drew ran her hand down his arm to try to comfort him, "Come on" she whispered, she leaned over the counter as best she could without hurting her self and kissed Ianto's cheek, they entered the hallway; the Doctor rubbed the back of his head as the wall closed back over "Ianto Jones" she started knowing exactly what the Doctor wanted to know "Started out here as tea boy, Jack told me he hired him cause he was gorgeous, well and he helped him catch a pteranodon. He's a bigger part of us now, after Tosh and Owen died, we couldn't hire anyone new so we try to make do with the four. Ianto's girlfriend, Lisa, was half converted into a Cyberman during the battle at Torchwood One" she said looking up at him "Ianto kept her alive by rigging the conversion equipment to a life support system, he wanted to try to make her human again, the programming overrode her humanity and she killed the cybernetics expert Ianto hired. She tried to convert Gwen, but Tosh shut down the converter, she almost killed Ianto when he tried to remind her she was human but in the end she ended up killing a pizza delivery girl somehow taking over the dead girls body, Jack, Gwen, Tosh and Owen had to kill her, she was going to start converting people from inside Torchwood" she explained leading the doctor down the dark stone hallway "It was her or the rest of the world" she added seeing the Doctor's look of outrage, "Would you have really wanted another Cyber uprising?" he looked down at her, he knew she was right, he shook his head she didn't say anything just lead them into a small room the wall slid closed behind them and a large circular door rolled out of their way

"Who's there?" a spooked welsh accent penetrated the air, as gates closed behind them

"S'just me Gwen" Drew called back, hoping to calm the nerves of the welsh woman. She half laughed when she noticed the Doctor had wondered off looking at things, she heard Gwen's footsteps coming towards her, the small woman rounded the corner and almost instantly broke into a sprint as her eyes landed on the younger woman "Gwen wait" Drew tried to stop the older woman but it was too late, Gwen threw her arms around her nearly knocking her over, Drew yelped making Gwen jump back, the Doctor skidded to a stop beside Drew nearly causing his glasses to fall from his nose. "Where's Jack?" Drew breathed

"In his office" Gwen said quickly. The Doctor wrapped her good arm around his neck and put his arm under her knees before looking at Gwen "Lead the way" he said motioning with his head "I can walk you know" Drew huffed as the Doctor started up the stairs, the Doctor ignored her smirking she rolled her eyes as Gwen threw Jack's door open startling the American "What the hell" he yelled, before seeing Drew "What the hell!" he repeated louder

"It's not as bad as it looks" she sighed "I just wanted you to look at it before we leave, I haven't a clue why I couldn't have walked up here myself" the Doctor set her back on her feet

"Gwen could you show the Doctor, the deep-sea tank or something?" Jack asked pushing them out of his office

"Sure thing Captain" she saluted sarcastically, making him glare at her halfheartedly. He closed the door and waited for the pair's shadows to leave the frosted glass, he turned back to the smaller woman now sitting on his desk. "What's really wrong?" he asked knowing she had been fronting for the Doctor

"It shouldn't hurt this much, it should be practically healed by now. I think mum ripped it open, and if she didn't Gwen did when she jumped me downstairs" she moved the neck of her shirt down over her shoulder and pulled her arm out of the sleeve. Jack carefully peeled away the tape holding the bandage on; he almost cringed looking at it "Yeah it's definitely reopened, if it closed at all" he said absently before moving to check her back, once again he gently peeled away the tape but found the hole completely closed and healed back to perfection, "Strange, this one is completely healed and before you ask yes it healed complete with your lovely scars" he laughed and she sighed

"I hate those things. They're just so weird, I mean do you know how hard it is to wear certain things!" she complained

"Yes I am well aware of how hard it is to wear some things, can you imagine me in a dress?" he laughed pulling a medical kit out from a drawer in his desk

"I have many times," she laughed, before regretting it, she watched a small stream of blood wind down her chest and slip under her shirt. Jack moved the stuff off his desk and on to his chair, before pushing her shoulder so she was laying on his desk he put on yet another glove as she braced her self "I'm just going to see how far its healed k? Wont take to long" she nodded and steeled her self gripping the edges of the desk, he took a deep breath; he wasn't fond of hurting her but as she couldn't exactly go to the hospital he was the closest thing she had to a doctor… except maybe the Doctor. Blood pushed out around his finger as he pushed deeper to find where the healing had stopped, she screamed as he hit his third knuckle; his door bust open making him roll his eyes he should have known the Doctor would have just sat at the bottom of the stairs. Jack pulled his finger from the hole in her chest "Was that necessary?" the Doctor almost yelled

"I was checking how far along the heal was"

"It's been a week! So I'd assume not very far and certainly sticking your finger in it isn't helping!" he snarled back at Jack

"Look, I've treated her wounds more times then I can count so I know what I can and can't do while she's healing" Jack snapped back

"Oi! Still here!" she yelled sitting up "Blimey can you two stop treating me like I'm fragile! I'm not going to break just because the playground is filled with boys! Stop treating me like I'm made of porcelain" she fixed her shirt before storming out of the room, Jack flew out of the room

"Drew I still have to put a bandage on it!" he called after her

"I can do it myself!" she snapped at him grabbing her coat and storming out of Torchwood. She put her hand over the hole cursing, she held her hand out in front of her "Bugger" she whispered looking at her now blood covered hand, she out her hand back over her chest and ran towards her flat.

~Meanwhile~

The Doctor sighed and leaned against the wall, he knew it was wrong to treat her any different then he had Rose or Martha but there was something about her that drove him to protect her at any cost, it had been there for Rose and Martha but it hadn't been nearly this strong. "She's right" he sighed looking over at Jack who had his feet thrown up on the desk while leaning back in his chair. "I know" Jack said looking up at the ceiling, Jack swung his legs down off the desk and picked up his phone dialing a number 'Hello?' a voice sounded form the other end, "Donna?"

'Yeah?'

"It's Jack," he said running his hand down his face "Are you going to be at the flat for a while?"

'Yeah, why? Should I not be?' she asked

"No, its good you are. Listen we kind of pissed Drew off and she stormed out, she should be heading back there. I need you to make sure the bullet hole in her chest hasn't gotten worse and bandage it k?"

'Course, why didn't you?' Jack glanced over at the Doctor

"I'm sure Drew will give you a play by play," he said before hanging up.

"What's your relationship with Drew?" the Doctor asked suddenly, breaking the uncomfortable silence between them

"Getting personal now Doc?" Jack smirked, riling up the Doctor was his favorite thing to do other than riling up Drew

"I mean it Jack," he said seriously, Jack sighed

"She's like the sister I never had, my second chance at having a sibling who relies on me since I screwed that up with my brother" he admitted staring at the ceiling sullenly

"Brother?" Jack nodded

"Gray, he was younger than me. When Boeshane was attacked, our father told us to run and hide; Gray tripped and I let go of his hand, I figured he was right behind me but when I stopped he was gone, I tried to go back for him but I never found him. I still don't know if he survived or not"

"My whole family was killed in the Time War before I could time lock it, not that we were really family" the Doctor said thoughtfully

"How so?"

"The Pythia, matriarchal leaders of Gallifrey during the Dark Time, started losing their powers, powerful telepathy and precognition, the leader at the time sent her followers to the planet Karn before cursing Gallifrey with sterility and throwing herself into the abyss under her temple. When Rassilon came into power he commissioned what he called Looms, they could weave genetic material into another being which allowed Gallifrey to continue reproducing and keep living" the Doctor explained "I had forty-five cousins, but some might argue that I had forty-five siblings, I don't remember which is true or how many of the elders in the house gave genetic samples to make us" the Doctor added.

"Weird" Jack said absently, the Doctor shrugged

"It how we had to survive, we would have died out long ago had it not been for the Looms"

"So you can't have children the normal way?" the Doctor shrugged

"I had children via the Loom, I even had a granddaughter. Traveled with her for a while, Susan, lovely girl. Can't remember much of her or our adventures"

"Why not?"

"Jack it's been almost forty-six years and I've regenerated nine times, things get muddled up and lost up here" he said pointing to his head

"They why do you remember so much about everything else?"

"Because I use it everyday" he sighed "People are always asking about aliens or Gallifrey, no one ever asked about the people I've met or traveled with" they fell into silence again, but this time it was less awkward both men thinking on their pasts.

Drew sat curled up on the love seat Jack had bought a few days ago as they had been spending a lot of time sleeping in the living room over the past week, she had changed into track pants and a grey jumper that was cut to hang off her shoulder, a black muscle shirt underneath to cover up the bloody bandage. Donna was unsurprisingly waiting for her in the kitchen when she had come through the door, she had bandages and tea waiting saying Jack had called ahead, they had talked about everything until they couldn't think of anything else to say, Donna had decided she was tired of eating take-away food and said she was going grocery shopping, Drew had given her the credit card Torchwood One was paying for; telling her to just sign her name and not to bother with what it looked like as she never did it the same twice. Drew had made herself another tea and sat where she was still sitting, she had her bare feet tucked under her too keep them from getting cold, the telly was playing lowly in her ear but she wasn't paying attention to it. She jumped when the door opened, Donna shuffled in with bags of groceries; she set her tea down and jumped up to help the older woman, Drew was putting some cans in the cupboard when she suddenly turned to Donna "Donna, I…" she trailed off not sure how to finish, she tried a few times but nothing came out, Donna put her hands on Drew's arms "I don't know where to start" she sighed

"The beginning is always good" Donna laughed, Drew nodded

"I was ten when the Cybermen and Daleks attacked the world" she looked down "Daleks killed my whole family, left me beside my mums body" tears formed in her eyes, she'd never directly told anyone what had happened "They were everywhere, Cybermen littered the streets while Daleks took over the skies, we weren't safe anywhere. Cybermen cornered us, stuck between a car and a fence; a Dalek came and killed the Cybermen but then turned on us. My mum blocked the Dalek from shooting me but got shot herself" she paused and put her hand over her mouth as the tears she bottled up for nine years fell "It looked at me" she started "Right at me then took off. I sat there through the whole thing, looking at my mum's body, I could hear people dying, people screaming, but then the screaming stopped, the Daleks and the Cybermen were being sucked into a window. I don't know how long it was but the Doctor found me, took me to Sarah-Jane's house, he saved me" realization washed over her, both hands covered her mouth "He saved me and I yelled at him, left him"

"Hey, hey" Donna tried to get her attention, "He and Jack are treating you like a child, if it takes you ripping them both a new one to get them to treat you like an equal than so be it" her smile turned into a smirk "Good girls never make history" Drew half laughed "I'll finish here, you go have a nice hot shower, I'll redress it when your done" Drew nodded before hugging the older woman

"I've never told anyone that before, not even Jack"

"I know" Donna said rubbing the younger woman's back "Go have a shower, you'll feel better"

Drew stared at the bullet hole in her chest in the mirror, she ran her fingers over it cringing as it twinged she sighed as she wrapped the towel around her body and gathered up her dirty clothes before moving out of the now cold room and into her own room. Donna was sitting on her bed waiting for her, bandages and tape ready to go "Bugger I'm not looking forward to having to do this everyday till this bloody thing decides to heal" she sighed sitting in front of the redhead

"Yeah well think about that the next time you put yourself between the Doctor and a bullet" she laughed tapping Drew on the nose

"It was him or me, I knew I'd survive. He would have regenerated, and he told me a while ago he likes that body" she laughed, Donna rolled her eyes

"I reckon he's far too skinny" Donna scoffed, Drew laughed and leaned in

"I reckon he's damn good lookin," she whispered, both women burst out laughing, "I'm serious" Drew laughed, Donna looked at her smiling

"I know. Come on, hurry up and get dressed, still need to get dinner on" she patted the younger woman's hair before leaving the room

Drew sighed inaudibly when the door to the flat opened, Donna had convinced her to ignore them both no matter how bad she wanted to talk to them. "And where have you two been?" Donna scolded

"Sorry mum, didn't know we had curfew," Jack laughed hanging up his coat, the Doctor followed suit before leaning on the counter beside Drew, she turned from him and went to work on something else for dinner, the Doctor and Jack glanced at each other they had figured Drew wouldn't speak to them for at least the night but they had both hoped they were wrong. "Any one for tea?" Donna asked breaking the awkward silence; the Doctor put his hand up not saying anything, Jack said he'd like a cup but Drew shook her head no and went back into the living room. The Doctor went to follow her but Jack held up his hand, he slowly walked out into the living room before leaning on the wall watching her seat her self comfortably on the love seat and picking up a clearly cold tea. "Come for a walk?" he asked suddenly, her eyes snapped to his making him almost shiver with the anger they portrayed "Look I know I don't deserve any of your time right now, but I have something to say to you. Something I should have said a long time ago" she stared at him for a second before nodding curtly and walking to her room to no doubt get dressed. They walked down countless streets in silence, neither knowing how to start the conversation Jack had been putting off for clearly far too long, he sighed before steering them towards a park it was still fairly early so there were still a few street vendors out, he got them each a tea before guiding her over to a bench in a more deserted part of the park. "I should have told you two years ago, but I didn't know how or if I even wanted to tell you" he started "The whole reason I asked you to join Torchwood wasn't so we could have Tosh with us and still have someone at the Hub, I asked you to join because I thought it was my second chance" he admitted, she looked at him confused "I screwed up with Gray, you know that considering to get back at me he tried to kill all of you and succeeded with Tosh and Owen, I thought when you walked through that door asking where Tosh was that this was my chance to redeem myself; I mean you were seventeen you were the baby of the family" he smiled nudging her with his elbow "What I'm getting at was that when we met I saw you as an opportunity to try being a good big brother again, since I buggered it up before. That's why I guess you could say I've been treating you like a child, and I'm sorry" he watched her stare at the pavement "He thought we had something going on" he laughed

"The Doctor?" she asked, speaking for the first time since he'd gotten back to the flat

"Yep, asked me what our relationship was after you left"

"And what did you tell him?"

"That I saw you as a little sister, nothing more nothing less. You, Ianto and Gwen are the closest I have to a family" he said putting his arm around her, he was really just trying to gauge how angry she still was but surprisingly she let him. "Can you forgive me for earlier? I know you can take care of yourself, but when you almost died it scared the shit out of me; I mean after watching Tosh die in my arms from the same type of wound it was just too much to handle, it brought everything back and I just went into protective overdrive" he admitted, she nodded before he pulled her into a hug "We should probably get back before Donna has a coronary" she giggled standing up, she slipped her hand into Jack's before they took off towards the flat building. Donna was dishing out dinner as they came through the door; Drew resisted the urge to just run over to the Doctor and hug him apologizing and went to help Donna. "We're taking off in the morning," Donna said as Drew appeared beside her

"Oh? Any ideas where were heading?" she asked completely ignoring the fact the Doctor was sitting at the table

"Not a clue" Donna laughed

"More fun that way" Drew added before taking two plates over to the table, they ate in relative silence Donna starting up a short conversation every now and then but nothing significantly long. It was nearly nine thirty when they had all finished eating "Donna you can have my bed tonight" Jack said taking his plate to the sink "I told Ianto I would be over around now" Drew rolled her eyes giggling

"Tell Ianto I'll call before we leave tomorrow" she called after him just before the door closed "Well I have a week of rift spikes to measure and graph out" she stated before walking off to her room and coming back with an ordinary looking computer

"How are you going to do all your Torchwood stuff on an ordinary laptop?" Donna asked confused

"Like so" Drew smiled waving her over, Drew opened the laptop a picture of her, Owen, Tosh, Jack, Gwen and Ianto popped up making Drew pause to look between Tosh and Owen, she shook herself out of it and opened a program that simply popped up with a small box asking for authorization; she typed in her last name and password and Donna watched as the box was pulled into the back of the screen and disappeared before the screen turned into swirling shades of blue "Welcome to the Torchwood network, cleaver beyond measure and a tiny bit alive" she laughed, Donna's jaw dropped

"How can a computer network be 'a tiny bit alive'!" Drew rubbed the bridge of her nose before putting her glasses on

"It's really hard to explain, but all you need to know is that everything that's ever happened that's alien related it on here"

"Everything that's ever happened?"

"Well everything that's happened in the UK, and some of Scotland. He's a strange old man out there," she laughed "Like the Slitheen, when they tried to take over parliament, the Doctor should remember that. We sent in Owen to examine the body they pulled out of the spaceship, but the little jerk had Tosh cover for him cause he was hung over." She glanced over at the Doctor

"Doctor Sato" he breathed, she nodded fighting not to say anything

"She wasn't really a doctor, scientific genius yes, but no where near a doctor. She covered for Owen cause she had a thing for him, he never knew until he died the first time"

"The first time!" Donna half shrieked, Drew sighed and cursed her big mouth

"We had these gantlets, well we only had one at a time, they had the power to bring people back from the dead but only for two minutes. We destroyed the first one because Suzie, who had been working on it before she died, was killing Gwen through it; we had brought her back to figure out who someone was that was killing people. It was all an elaborate plan she had come up with to get our attention, but Gwen used the glove to bring her back but she had wanted it so bad that Suzie surpassed the two minutes and it started killing Gwen, so Tosh shot the gantlet breaking the link. Jack found the second one and used it to bring back Owen, but something else came through with Owen and kept him alive beyond the two minutes… well not really alive, he had no pulse, no breathing nothing, he was technically dead but still walking around with us and doing missions" Donna and the Doctor could see the faint essence of tears forming in her eyes talking about Tosh and Owen

"What came through with him?"

"Duroc" Drew said quietly looking up at the older woman

"What's that?"

"You would know it more commonly as Death or the Grim Reaper" the Doctor explained looking at Drew

"Owen was the only one who could get rid of it as he was already dead" Drew stated flatly as she pulled up a program that looked to Donna as just a bunch of wavy lines, she watched Drew adjust her glasses and lean a bit closer to the screen "Bugger" she cursed putting her laptop on the coffee table and fishing her phone out of her pants. She pushed a button on her phone "Jack put some clothes on we've got rift activity" she said quickly, "I'm sending you the coordinates now, do you want me to call Gwen or are you?" she pulled the phone away from her ear "I'll take that as I'm calling her, jerk" she sighed and dialed yet another number "Ello Rhys"

'Ah Drew, hullo'

"Gwen wouldn't happen to be free at the moment would she?"

'This is more Torchwood shit isn't it?' he asked before she heard the phone shuffle around 'Sorry he's still pissy about everything' Gwen's voice hummed through the phone

"S'ok, I would be too if a bunch of people I didn't really know kept putting my wife in danger" Drew laughed, earning looks from the two other people in the room "Anyway there's some rift activity, Jack and Ianto are already on their way there"

'Send me the stuff girly, on my way out' Drew held the phone to her ear with her shoulder and typed some stuff into the computer

"Right, you should be getting it now. Oh I'm leaving tomorrow, don't know when I'll be back, but call me if you need anything"

'Be safe and come back in one piece. See yah' Drew hung up and went back to the computer leaving the others staring at her

"What the hell was all that?" Drew looked over at Donna

"That was a regular Tuesday night" Drew laughed "Except I'm usually sat in the Hub right now doing all this, while the others are out doing whatever"

"They don't even question it? They just drop everything and go?" Donna asked

"We never know what's going to come out of the rift, we've had weevils, Arcateenians, three people from nineteen fifty, Abaddon, John Hart, Sleeper agents, a giant alien whale, Adam, giant mayflies, Duroc, Nostrovites, and Jack's brother Gray" she explained still staring at the screen

"You fought Nostrovites?" the Doctor questioned, she nodded

"What's a Nostrovite?" Donna asked

"Shape shifter, they were hunting in Cardiff and we were tracking the male when it bit Gwen, we weren't sure what it was at first till Owen did an autopsy on the male it was confirmed when Gwen woke up pregnant the next day"

"Wait what?" Donna looked confused beyond belief

"Nostrovite males carry the eggs in a sack in their mouth, one bite and they impregnate the victim. Once the egg is ready, which only takes a few hours; the female will track down the carrier and rip the egg from them. Anyway it happened to be Gwen's wedding day when the female showed up to collect, Rhys used Owen's singularity scalpel and removed the egg but we had to shoot the female to get it to stop"

"Right, I think I'm going to go to bed after that cheery talk"

"Sorry" Drew said as Donna walked form the room, leaving Drew and the Doctor in an awkward silence. After a while Drew closed her laptop and left to her room, she knew it was terrible to ignore him but she didn't know how else to get the point across that she wasn't a child, even if she was being immature about it. She laid on her bed string at the ceiling for a while before her eyelids started to droop; she slipped into a restless sleep

She opened her eyes, her vision blurry, she tried to move but found her wrists chained to poles on either side of her holding her off the ground, her head was pounding and felt like it could split in half at any moment. 'Where's Jack?' she thought weakly, she tried to look around but something at the back of her neck gave a quick shock which quickly ceased her trying. She glanced beside her and found a huge tube filled with a glowing golden liquid that was flowing into a clear tube that split into several even smaller tubes that all seemed to come in her direction, she also noticed a larger tube in the middle of all the smaller ones that came in the same direction, she watched the tubes fill up before the liquid disappeared behind her. She wondered where the tubes were hooked up before a cold sensation in her back started to quickly spread over her whole body before quickly turning from cool to burning hot. All of her nerves where on fire, she screamed as the burning intensified and kept intensifying until she felt like she would just crumble into dust. Her heart was pounding so hard she thought it might just jump out of her chest; there was a sudden pain in the right side of her chest that intensified until it felt as if she had two hearts pounding in her chest. She screamed and cried for whoever was doing this to stop but she didn't know if anyone was even in the same room as her, she caught what looked like a spark out of the corner of her eye, she dismissed it for a second until electricity raced down the chains towards her, she screamed as the blue electricity entered her body.

Drew sat up in her bed sweating and breathing hard, she hadn't had that dream in a long time, it was still as vivid as the day it happened, her body tingled and the scars on her back ached. She threw the covers off her legs and moved of the bed swaying slightly, she put her hand on her forehead and held on to a shelf before moving out of her room and towards the kitchen. She grabbed a glass out of the cupboard and filled it with cold water, she drank half of it before trying to steady her breathing and fighting the urge to cry.

The Doctor watched Drew walk from her room to the kitchen, he wasn't surprised she hadn't said anything to him but the look on her face worried him, he set the book he had been reading down on the table and followed her in the kitchen. He leaned on the doorframe as she filled a glass full of water, he couldn't help but scan her shaking frame as she stood supporting her self on the sink in purple boy short panties, and a purple tank top. "Drew, you ok?" he asked quietly but still managing to startle her, she spun around to look at him

"Just a bad dream" she said, her voice was shaky and clearly full of fear, he slowly moved towards her hoping she wouldn't push him away like she'd been doing earlier, he put his arms around her and found that she was shaking a lot more than her body let on and her hearts were pounding

"Must have been one hell of a bad dream," he said quietly as he pulled her closer trying to stop some of her shaking,

"Tea?" she asked pulling away

"Sure" he said almost rolling his eyes and rubbing the back of his head, he watched her flit around the kitchen preparing tea for them, he could see she was clearly still shaking "I'm sorry about earlier at Torchwood" he started "I heard you scream and something inside me snapped" he admitted still watching her "I don't want you to end up like Rose" he said quietly

"Lost in another dimension?" she asked suddenly

"Yes or worse"

"Being shot is not the worst thing I've had done to me" she said without thinking

"I can imagine with scars like these," he said running his finger over the one on the back of her neck making her shiver.

"They're nothing," she said pouring hot water into cups, he turned her to face him

"I think your hiding something that you think will change how I see you" she looked up at him, his nose almost touching hers "Which I can promise whatever it is it wont" she didn't say anything, she also wasn't sure who moved closer to who but she could feel his breath on her lips as they stared at each other. The door burst open making Drew jump back, Jack carried a half conscious Ianto into the living room, Drew rushed over to the couch "Ianto, can you hear me?" she asked quietly he nodded but didn't say anything, she grabbed the bag out of Jack's hands and fished around for a small bottle and a needle. "This is only going to hurt for a second love, k" Ianto nodded again before she stuck the needle into the flesh surrounding the large gash in his forehead, he cringed for a second before looking back up at her "Owen's industrial strength pain medication" she smiled as his eyes started to glaze over, she laughed "Felling better?" he nodded, she pulled gloves and a small kit out of the bag before going to work stitching the gash closed. Jack stood beside the Doctor as they watched her work

"I thought she took over as tech," the Doctor whispered

"She did, but there was only so much Tosh could teach her in a day without both of them getting bored, so she started shadowing Owen and I dear say she turned into a better doctor than he did" Jack laughed

"Don't speak ill of the dead Jack" Drew said suddenly having heard the whole conversation

"I'm just saying you learned a lot quicker than he did, plus even Martha was surprised at how much you knew at seventeen"

"Wait Martha?" they both looked at the Doctor "Martha Jones?"

"Yeah, she came in to help Owen with an autopsy" Jack said sitting by Ianto's head, laughing when Ianto looked up at him and smiled dopily. Drew rolled her eyes as the Doctor stared on in shock, she pulled a scalpel out of the bag and dragged it across her finger before pushing more blood out the freely leaked out and ran it across Ianto's gash. "Take him home Jack and don't take advantage of him like last time" she laughed as Jack picked the suited man up and headed for the door. The Doctor grabbed her hand but she pulled it away from him "I don't need a band aide" she laughed holding her finger up so he could see it, it was completely healed "I'll tell you why when I'm ready" she said before walking back to her room. The Doctor flopped back down on the couch and picked his book back up but not really reading it, he was too busy thinking about almost kissing Drew.
