Chapter Nine
I couldn't believe it. I thought it was impossible, but matching the antidote with the blood and DNA files of Torchwood leader Captain Jack Harkness I realised I had made the impossible… possible. An immortality antidote had been created… Though the immortality would not be forever at this moment in time it would prevent all Torchwood members from dying.
Running up to the conference room I had Owen double check whether what I had just created was possible and valid.
"Well done Martha, you've done it! Have you tried it yet?" Owen praised
"It's been in my system for an hour, shoot me somewhere fatal which could kill me if it doesn't heal or isn't treated" I responded
"I'm not going to say no to that" Harold said shooting my lung, now if I'd known he was behind me I'd have never told Owen to shoot me. Harold always had it out for me… Realising I had no pain I smiled.
"Well Harold, you've met your match. It's not killed me and I believe my lungs healed already" I smirked throwing Owen and Toshiko an antidote each.
"Remember it takes an hour to start taking effect so don't let Harold or anyone kill you until then" I shouted while running back down to the medical station. Pressing the side of my com I informed Jack that a successful antidote had been created and that I would distribute on his orders, Jack gave me the order to distribute all antidotes to those non timelord or immortal. Throwing the antidotes to everyone I warned of the effects and quickly checked the rift activity.
"Martha, you remember River Song? The woman who told me I'd meet my future self at some point in the twenty first century?" David said sitting down fiddling with his sonic screwdriver.
"I do remember… Why?" I responded
"Think about it…" He said
"Oh no." Donna shouted "Future you planned this invasion knowing that if he killed you, you'd regenerate into him and he could start his time travelling!" Donna explained quickly typing on Toshiko's computer to check whether what she'd said was true.
"It all makes sense now… The high rift activity, the lack of communication, the feeling faint, its because your future self is here in Cardiff planning to kill you and the rest of us" Sarah-Jane sighed walking in with K-9.
I knew everyone had there smartness, I couldn't believe it. If that happened did that mean that if one of us shot David during regeneration then he'd die and wouldn't regenerate into his future self, who obviously hated his current self for some reason…
"I know what you're thinking and yes, but don't go getting any ideas you. I'm not going to let him kill me and I'm not going to regenerate into him" David quickly responded. He knew that if the time came he'd really want one of us to shoot him, even though he didn't personally know himself in the future he didn't like himself and wasn't going to turn out like him and would rather be dead whether he or Harold liked it or not.
