A/N: Here's chapter eight. It's a bit longer than the others and I guess I could have just skipped it really but I just thought I wanted that interaction between the team as most of the other chapters have been more action based.

Thank you BBC for making Torchwood, it doesn't belong to me. Also, I forgot to say last chapter that the video doesn't belong to me either.

Enjoy

It was the Torchwood SUV that pulled up first. Jack, Gwen and Tosh got out. Jack was on the phone to Martha.

"Yes, all the area around Moorland Park in Splott. I want it totally evacuated. Tell them I don't care what time it is! No, this can't wait until the morning! It's Cybermen, Martha! Thanks. Yeah, thanks." Jack hung up "She says she can have everyone out by six am."

"But Jack, that's four hours!" Tosh sounded worried.

"Exactly, gives us time to get hold of the bombs and position them exactly where we need them." He replied.

"Jack you cannot do this! You'll kill them all!" Gwen said desperately.

"Gwen, we don't have any choice and you know that. Just come inside." Jack said as Owen and Ianto pulled up next to them. Ianto opened the car door and staggered out, his face a pasty shade of green.

"I am never ever getting in a car with him again..." Ianto moaned "He drives like a bloody maniac!"

"Oi! I wasn't that bad!" Owen yelled.

"Want to bet?" Ianto raised his eyebrows.

"You two, stop arguing. Come on." Jack ordered, walking towards the door of the tourist information office. The rest of the team followed quickly behind him. They walked in silence along the stone tunnel to the central part of the hub. Tosh went straight to her computer and started preparing a cover story to put on the BBC News site. Ianto made his way directly to his precious coffee machine and begun making coffee for the team. Owen went down to the medical bay to do an in depth analysis of the blood and DNA samples he had taken from the Weevils and Jack disappeared into his office to phone Martha to arrange for the bombs to be dropped off. Gwen, however, had nothing to do. She paced back and forwards in front of her desk. She sighed and sat down staring into the distance.

"Gwen? Gwen?" Ianto said, waving his hand in front of her vacant face.

"Sorry Ianto. What did you want?" She said apologetically, jolting back to reality.

"Would you like some coffee?"

"No thanks." Ianto looked at her, puzzled before moving on to ask Tosh.

"That's it!" Gwen stood up and stormed into Jack's office.

"What's up with her?" Owen asked rhetorically. Ianto and Tosh both shrugged.

"Jack, we can't do this!" Gwen said as she flung open the door to his office. Jack was on the phone. He raised a finger to his lips, motioning to Gwen to be quiet.

"No, I will not bloody well shut up Jack Harkness!"

"Sorry, I have to go. Thanks Martha, see you soon. Gwen what do you want?" He asked irritably.

"Jack we can't just kill them all! It's genocide! Maybe they're a pain in the arse when they go rouge but they still can think and feel and they don't deserve to die like this!" Gwen said, her voice verging on hysterical.

"Gwen there are Cybermen down there too, we can't take any chances. We're going to put the bombs underground, with any luck there shouldn't be too much damage on the surface but we're clearing the area anyway, just to be on the safe side. People might have to avoid flushing the loos for a few days but they should be fine. Gwen, I've done everything I can possibly do, what more do you want?"

"But don't you at least want to know what their up to? Come on you can't honestly tell me that Captain Jack Harkness, the man who can't die doesn't want to know what they're doing down there?" Gwen said, trying a different approach.

"It's just not worth it. If I let them finish what they're doing they could end up killing us all. We just have to do this as quickly and efficiently as possible. I am sorry Gwen, I honestly am but there's nothing we can do this time."

"Look Jack, we will have three hours once we are down there to plant the bombs but we can't activate them until all the area above is clear. Maybe we could try and get some of the Weevils out and then just put them back there when the Cybermen are gone. It's simple, can't we at least try?"

Jack sighed, feeling guilty for what he was about to do, "Fine Gwen. I'm really not too pleased about taking any of you down there but we've got to go anyway and I guess you've got a point. Martha should be dropping the bombs off in half an hour, you should try and get some sleep, it's really late."

"I'm fine honestly" She yawned, Jack smiled and rolled his eyes.

"Go on, tell the others to finish what they're doing and rest for a bit. I'll wake you up when Martha arrives" He kissed her on the forehead gently and held the door open for her to leave. He watched her from the window as she checked on the others, encouraging them to get some rest before finally collapsing onto the sofa herself, exhausted.

"Sorry." Jack whispered. He sat down at the desk and began filing a report, reflecting on what he was about to do, as he waited for Martha.

Exactly an hour later Jack's phone rang. The name Martha flashed up on the caller ID.

"Mind letting me in? It's freezing up here!"

Jack laughed, "I'll be right up." With that, he hung up the phone and quietly opened the door of his office.

The lights were dimmed in the hub and his team lay sleeping. Tosh was asleep at her desk, her body slumped over her computer. She had clearly ignored Gwen's encouragement to rest and then had fallen asleep working anyway Jack thought to himself. That was so like Tosh; devoted to her job. Jack lent over her and pressed the submit button to put the fake news report Tosh had prepared onto the site. Owen had taken the first opportunity he was given to sleep on the job, he had found the fold out bed and constructed it in the medical bay, he snored softly as he slept. Ianto was asleep in the arm chair, an empty coffee cup resting on his lap. Gwen lay on the sofa, her phone vibrated next to her to indicate and incoming call. A picture of Rhys' smiling face flashed up on the screen. Jack hesitantly answered the phone.

Rhys' angry voice came down the phone, "Where the hell are you? I've been waiting hours for you! I had dinner ready and everything! You could've at least called! I was worried about you Gwen!"

"She's asleep, she's fine don't worry. She had to work late, we had a bit of a...situation," Jack explained "She can have the day off tomorrow I promise." Jack listened to Rhys rant for a bit and told him he would have Gwen call as soon as she woke up. Finally, Jack managed to get rid of Rhys and put the phone down next to Gwen. He stepped onto the invisible lift to find Martha.

"There you are! I was starting to think you'd been eaten by some alien down there!" Martha laughed as she hugged Jack.

He smiled, "Sorry Martha. How are you?"

"I'm good thanks. I'm still with U.N.I.T but I'm considering quitting." Jack gave her a questioning look "I've had a proposition from a friend of a friend. All top secret at the moment though so you won't get a word out of me. How about you?"

"Oh you know. A sewer full of Cybermen trying to upgrade the world or whatever they're doing down there, the usual." Jack smiled "Have you got the bombs?"

"Here. Five of U.N.I.T's most advanced bomb for you. They're half the size and weight of the original ones but still have the same power. They can tunnel through walls using a radio control to place them exactly where you need them. Once activated you have twenty minutes to get out. They work reasonably well at only destroying the area you want destroying and have a cloaking device attached which should stop them being picked up by most scanners." Martha finished, handing Jack a brown package.

"Thank you so much Martha. I could really use your help positioning them though, if you're not busy. It's just that you're probably better at working the controls and..."

"It's ok, you don't have to try and convince me. I'd be happy to help you out Jack." Martha reassured him.

"Great, we just have to go and wake up Owen and Tosh, I'll let Ianto sleep." He told her as he walked over to the invisible lift, followed by Martha.

"What about Gwen?" Martha asked.

Jack looked awkward, "She's not coming"

"Why not?" Martha asked as Jack pressed a few buttons on his watch and the lift began to descend.

"Martha, you know what the Cybermen can do. You know how dangerous they are and it's not worth it. We do what we have to and get out. Gwen wouldn't let me though. She said we had to save them." He told her, his voice dropping to a whisper as they entered the Hub.

"Save who?" Martha was looking more confused than before.

"The Weevils. Gwen said we can't just blow them up. We have to try save them... she doesn't get it though. She doesn't get that the more time we are down there the more danger we put every single person on this planet it. If we let even one escape then they could kill everyone. She was getting upset. I couldn't just sit there and watch her like that. I told her we could try and get some of the Weevils out. Then I told her it was late and she should get some sleep. We'll back by the time she's awake."

"She is going to kill you when she wakes up" Martha warned him.

"I know." Jack replied gravely "Owen's coming with us. Tosh can stay and keep an eye on the hub." The lift reached the bottom and both Jack and Martha climbed off.

Jack woke Tosh and explained quickly to her that she just needed to keep an eye on the monitors and keep the comms. open. Owen, Jack decided, would be more of a challenge to wake. Jack prodded him gently at first. This appeared to make no difference what so ever.

"Owen!" Jack whispered loudly in his ear. Owen moaned slightly before turning over and going back to sleep. Jack decided there was no other option. In one swift movement Jack pushed Owen off the bed and on to the cold, hard floor of the autopsy room.

"Ow!" Owen yelled angrily as he hit the floor "What the f-" Owen was cut off as Jack clamped his hand firmly over Owen's mouth.

"Shhh!" Jack hissed, glancing nervously over at Gwen "Don't wake her!"

"And why not?" Owen said irritably.

"Never mind, come on. Martha's here, we're going." Jack ordered.

"Where?" Owen asked, still half asleep.

"Sewers, we're pest control" Jack said, laughing at his own joke.

Owen, however, didn't find it funny. "You dragged me out of bed for some rats!"

"Owen, wake up for god sake! Cybermen! We're going back down the sewers to blow them up. We have to finish this now." Jack hissed. Finally, Owen snapped back to reality. He stood up and followed Jack over to Martha. Jack handed Martha and Owen their guns and all three of them made their way to the SUV.
