Not sure if this second part makes sense with the first. Please feel free to comment because I debated weather or not this should have been a separate story, but I thought that it might tie in better with trying to get Rose back to the Doctor. Anyway, review and feel free to give me your opinion. Thanks again for reading and a huge thanks to those who took the time to review!

Nine months later…

Rose held up the gun and fired. There had been chaos everywhere. Reports had come into Torchwood early that Monday morning that there was a rift that had opened up in space and alien creatures had come through the rift. They were directly drawn toward Torchwood and began a massive invasion of the tower. Soldiers were everywhere, trying to keep the alien creatures at bay.

Mickey was leading a team up on the roof and kept barking orders to his men to set their guns on maximum. Rose had been trying to assess the situation as assistant to Pete Tyler, her father and recent Director of Torchwood. She recognized the aliens. They were the Horde, renegades that specialized in contrabands. She carefully took a sip of her hot tea, keeping a cool head while everyone around her was in an upright panic. At the moment when one of the aliens teleported into the office, everyone ducked except Rose. She looked the alien squarely in the eye and without flinching she fired the weapon that had been strapped under her desk for emergencies. The weapon was powerful enough to stun the alien. It fell on the ground in a loud thud. It was a bit taller than the average human. It almost looked like one except that it had thick long matted hair and its face seemed as if it had multiple scares across its leathery face. For a minute Rose thought about the serial killer from the film, The Chainsaw Massacre, but shrugged that thought away as she kept drinking her tea and continued to work on the data that showed up on her computer screen.

Pete and the others got up from where they had ducked. Soldiers were already filing inside. They proceeded to sure that it was safe before they could drag the alien away for interrogation.

"Tell Jake to open up communications with the aliens," Rose told Pete as she read the information that showed up on the screen. "Something tells me that the Horde is here because of that little space craft that fell from the sky ten years ago."

"You know about that?" Pete Tyler asked, still taken aback by how cold Rose could be sometimes. This wasn't the girl he originally knew when they first met. She had been more compassionate, more ready to listen and care about things and people around her. Now she had been replaced by a mechanical woman, no longer a girl. Sure she still showed interest in life around her and would occasionally let her guard down, but when it came to Torchwood she was all business and rarely smiled.

Gunfire could still be heard outside. Rose glanced out into the window seeing the three invading ships outside. "That's interesting that they aren't using all their firepower against us," she said. "They could have blown us to bits but they seem to be toying with us."

"You think it has to do with that ship from ten years ago?" Pete asked.

"The ship is the least of our worries," Rose replied, walking toward door. "It's what was created here in Torchwood from that ship that has brought the Horde here."

"It's not fully functional," Pete called out as Rose walked out.

"They don't know that," she said, dialing Jake on her mobile. "Jake, I need to communicate with their leader. We've got one of them. It's time to figure out why they're here."

"We have another problem," Jake told her. "The Prime Minister wants the aliens dealt with immediately. She insists she wants us to use whatever means we have available to rid ourselves of the threat. She said that you knew what she was talking about and to be prepared for her arrival."

"I don't want that woman coming here!" Rose barked.

Pete Tyler was right behind her. He had come to care about Rose, almost as much as a father, but at the moment she was overstepping her bounds.

"Rose, stop!" Pete said, trying to slow her down. "Who are you talking about?"

"The Prime Minister wants to put her nose into Torchwood affairs," Rose informed him not looking back.

"Stop!" Pete insisted a bit more forcefully. "You need to wait a minute."

"I can't," Rose insisted. "Jake is about to open up communication with the leader of the Horde."

Pete reached out for Rose and grabbed her arm. Rose flinched away. She couldn't stand to have anyone touch her. It seems as though she couldn't bare contact with anyone since… well, she couldn't dwell on the past. She couldn't think about Him. Six months had nearly passed since the time she saw him at the beach on Norway and she still couldn't bring herself to say his name.

"You can't decide weather or not the Prime Minister can be involved in this," Pete said. "Who do you think keep the funds for Torchwood coming in?"

"You don't know what she's like!" Rose insisted. "She could make this situation worse!"

"How?" Pete asked. "You don't even know her!"

"I knew her in the other world," Rose said. "She had the other Torchwood use the weapon they built out of the ship that fell from the sky and blow up a Sycorax ship, killing thousands of aliens in the process. She just killed them after they were defeated fair and square by the…" She suddenly stopped. "Never mind," she said, trying to remain calm. "We're wasting too much time. We need to start figuring out why the Horde is here."

"Then let me talk to them," Pete said. "You should make sure that what just happened here doesn't affect the condition you're in," he said indicating to the swell in her stomach.

"But you don't know what they're like," she insisted.

"No, but I'm also betting that they don't know how you know them," Pete said. "That gives us the upper hand. After this I must insist that you see Doctor Wellington for a check up, just to make sure your ok. For now, tell me what I need to know about them before we start communications."

He used a tone that breached no more discussion. Rose acquiesced and started telling him everything she knew about them, including how she came across them and under what circumstances. She tried not to mention the Doctor at all in her details, but she found out the more she attempted to do that, the more impossible it became when it came to aliens.
