Chapter Ten
After David found a stable solution for me being half human, half timelord it became clear things were going to be troublesome, whether we liked it or not. Hence why I tried to avoid my life with Torchwood as much as possible, I wanted to travel, settle down somewhere away from Cardiff…
Stood in front of Toshikos computer, I realised The Doctors future self was the person who'd planned this invasion. He knew that until his present day self David died and regenerated he couldn't live as his future self Matt.
"We'll fight! Kill him twice if we have to!" Jack shouted. I hadn't been with Torchwood for long but I'd realised Harold and Jack were very similar.
"That won't work… You're just as bad as Harold" David sighed, I thought to myself why couldn't we use the TARDIS? Then immediately remembered Matt would know that we'd use the TARDIS because after all… He is a timelord.
"Use the TARDIS as bait, it can lure Matt out then we offer Gwen to Matt, allow him to take Gwen, have River kill Matt and maybe Gwen if need be." I whispered to Jack, he knew if I said it out loud and that allowed David to hear then Matt would know our plan as he would have all of David's past and present memories. Jack nodded and Rose walked over to hand me a fresh coffee.
"What's up?" Rose questioned, sitting down I explained to Rose, David's future self Matt was the person who had set this invasion up and he was aiming to kill David so he'd regenerate into Matt and Matt could then live in the present day instead of having to wait until the day where David died and regenerated himself.
"I'll distract David; I've dealt with him before when I first met him when he was known as Christopher… It's funny every time he regenerates he creates a new identity." Rose laughed walking away.
"I don't want to go though… I'm quite happy here today Rose… Whatever you need I'm sure the store will still have it tomorrow" David moaned, Rose sighed and grabbed his arm she wasn't letting him out of her sights walking up the stairs out of the hub she waved goodbye and we guessed we'd have at least an hour until she returned with a furious David.
"I can't do it. I can't get hold of River" Jack sighed, by now both John and Harold were typing away, they had history with River so if anyone could get through to her it would be them.
"DONE!" John grinned proud that he'd done something right for once in his life.
"What do you want!" River demanded seeming quite annoyed that she'd been disturbed then she seemed intrigued that Torchwood needed her help
"We need your help River, and we figured because you and The Doctor have such history you'd help us… Oh and because if you help us then we'll get you released from space prison" John stated. Still sitting down I was starting to enjoy my Torchwood life, but not much.
