Hi, everyone! I'm so sorry for the delay in posting! I live in coastal NJ (Monmouth County), so unfortunately, we were hit pretty badly by Hurricane Sandy and then Winter Storm Athena. Yeah, they're naming snowstorms now.

Thankfully, everyone is okay here and our house only had minimal damage that is covered by insurance. We just were out of power and heat from 2pm on Monday (10/29) until this past Friday (11/9). I've been out of school for just as long and while it was a great respite for my brain, I'm trying to get back into law school mode.

So here is the long overdue update you have so patiently waited for. Things are really going to get cranked up a notch from here.

Enjoy!

Jack glanced across the aisle of the airplane at his partner, who was reclined into a deep slumber in her chair. He was glad to see that Jenny was finally able to find the time to rest. The vacation had been meant, in part, to help recharge her batteries after spending the better part of the last two years constantly on-the-go. Though she refused to admit that she required more than a few hours of occasional sleep, Jack was certain the Doctor had logged more than his fair share of respite after especially taxing adventures.

The past day's events surely qualified as such. Jenny had spent the first half of Christmas Eve sandboarding in the desert, only to endure earthquakes, capture, two and a half hours of electrocution-oriented torture, an escape plan that involved a large amount of running, and an argument with U.N.I.T. in the latter half. Well, it hadn't been so much as an argument with the Unified Intelligence Taskforce as a heated stand-off with Colonel Augustus Oduya.

The Colonel and Jenny didn't exactly see eye-to-eye when it came to the Brigadier. He believed that Lethbridge-Stewart had put the entire force at risk via his secret operation and subsequently, no longer had a place at U.N.I.T. The Time Lord, on the other hand, voiced her complete and utter disapproval of Oduya's leadership in the Brig's absence, citing everything from the failure in the face of the 456 incident to his willingness to force sacrifice to save his own reputation, as evidenced by his blacklisting of the Brigadier in Peru.

He was grateful that Jenny had refused to let him take the phone call once they had arrived at the British Embassy. The mere sound of the Colonel's voice reminded him of the darkest week of his life that he had been working so hard to put behind him. And though her willingness to go toe-to-toe with Oduya was largely out of loyalty to her father's oldest friend, in his heart, Jack knew it was partly for him, as well.

"She's quite a force, isn't she?" a voice snapped Jack from his train of thought.

He turned back to the seat facing him and found the Brigadier was reading a packet that had been sent over from London. "You have no idea," he admitted with a laugh.

He flipped to a new page, not bothering to look up. "I have spent much of my life in the presence of her father, so forgive me if our outlook on that matter differs." This time, his gaze moved to the other man's face. "How is my old friend these days?"

"Alright, I think." Jack shrugged. With no indications as to the contrary, it was a fair assumption. "It's been a long time since we've seen each other. For Jenny, it has been even longer than you, I think."

"Well, I do hope he returns soon," the Brigadier replied sincerely. "For all of our sake. But especially hers. After everything Sarah Jane told me about the Doctor and the war..." The man trailed off in thought for a moment. His old friend had been an adventurer at heart, fascinated by the curiosities that lay in the past, present, and future of all the worlds in the cosmos. While their worldviews often differed, the Brigadier relished the opportunities he had to see the universe through the Doctor's eyes. It was unthinkably tragic that his outlook would be forever tainted by the horrors of war. "She seems to bring an invariable brightness to things."

"If anyone can attest to that it's me," the Torchwood agent admitted without much thought as he tapped away at the buttons on his vortex manipulator. His fingers slowed to a stop as he digested the implication of the words that had flowed from his lips. "The Hub is much cheerier with her around," he added quickly.

"Mhmm." Alistair nodded with a disbelieving glance at Jack. "We could use someone like her at U.N.I.T. She's got the instincts of a soldier with the conscience of a Time Lord. Brilliant combination, actually."

"Forgive me if I don't pass that on." Jack picked up his own debriefing papers and began to skim them. He remembered how empty the reconstructed Hub had been prior to her arrival and had no inclination to return to those times.

He pinched the bridge of his nose as exhaustion set in. The letters were beginning to scramble on the page before him and it became clear that he was just as drained as his partner.

The Brigadier took note of the bleary-eyed man. "There's nothing undignified about sleep, Captain," he asserted in his unwavering voice. "Immortality does not equate to insomnia."

Jack let out a deep breath and tossed the document onto the neighboring chair. "One of my last ties to humanity." His eyes flickered to Jenny for a moment.

The glance had not gone unnoticed. "Sleep, Captain Harkness," Brig told him firmly and Jack suspected it was more of an order than a suggestion. "I'll keep an eye on things."

"Thanks," he muttered as he closed his eyes and leaned back into his seat. It was mere moments before he settled into a deep, long-overdue slumber.

From the moment the helicopter touched down on the helipad of the Tower of London, Colonel Oduya's face was etched with a permanent scowl. With decades of military experience under his belt, he did not appreciate the accusations being thrown around by the twenty-something Torchwood agent. Though far more intelligent in his own mind, he at least considered her partner his equal after considerable practice in the field.

Jenny was not happy to encounter the current director of U.N.I.T. either. She vaguely recalled referring to him as a "power-hungry ape" roughly fifteen hours ago. Though, in her opinion, it wasn't exactly undeserved. His lack of leadership during the 456 incident led to a multitude of innocent deaths, including Ianto, and the forced sacrifice of Jack's grandson, Stephen. She vehemently believed that Oduya, having worked with Captain Harkness before, knew when push came to shove, Jack would make the ultimate sacrifice for the benefit of the planet. The Colonel had cost the former Time Agent all that was good in his life and she despised him for it.

Jack knew he had to be the first one to break the icy barrier firmly established between his team and the director. Allowing the Brigadier or Jenny to make first contact with the current head of U.N.I.T. was likely to end poorly. He hopped out of the chopper ahead of his fellow passengers and walked briskly toward the man flanked by his own personal army. "Colonel," he addressed him respectfully and extended his hand. "It's a pleasure to see you again, though I wish it were under better circumstances."

Oduya grasped his outstretched palm and shook it. "Captain Harkness. It's good to have you back in the kingdom." His brown eyes scanned to the right and landed on the redheaded woman and uniformed man who were now beside him. "Though…" His gaze returned to Jack's face. "I'd have preferred you returned alone."

"Well, I'd have preferred my partner wasn't tortured via electroshock for two and a half hours while trying to protect the planet from invasion, but I suppose we can't always get what we want, now can we?" Jack retorted calmly, yet with sharpness to his tone.

The dark-skinned man cleared his throat to change the subject and Jack notched a mental victory. "Well, I presume you were all debriefed on the airplane back. I have guards ready to escort Mr. and Mrs. Chesterton to their home. My lead scientist would like to meet with the remainder of your team to gather more information for our files." He turned his body slightly to make eye contact with the Brigadier. "Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, I presume you know the way."

Before the older man could so much as nod, Colonel Oduya had turned on his heels and retreated back into the building with his guards. Two had remained, presumably to take charge of the professors.

Jack snorted as he faced the remaining visitors behind him. "He's become much more of a dick since the last time I saw him."

Barbara spoke up from the back of the group. "I guess this means we're off now."

"Lots of boring stuff from here on out," Jenny replied with a smile, though her voice was laced with sadness. "You got to see the best parts."

One of the guards in green fatigues took a few steps towards the couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Chesterton, if you'll come with us to the helicopter."

"Please just give me a few minutes," the older woman asked of the young man. "I just want to say goodbye."

He contemplated her request, then relented with a nod and stepped back to join the other solider so that the group could have their time.

Ian shook both Alistair and Jack's hands before he approached Jenny. "My dear girl," he marveled at her with a smile as he held onto her slender hands. "We had quite an adventure, didn't we?"

"The best kind," Jenny replied with a bright smile of her own. "If you ever need anything at all, Sarah Jane has the number for my mobile and our door is always open. If you thought the Dominator ship was fascinating, you should see the Hub!"

"Don't offer, dear, or he'll take you up on it!" Barbara laughed and joined her husband. "But really, it was so very good to meet you Jenny. You reminded me of something I had forgotten long ago, but shouldn't have."

The younger woman waved her off. "I should be thanking you… all those stories of my father. It makes me feel like I'm that much closer."

The dark-haired woman hugged her and kissed her cheek. "Rest assured, Jenny. The Doctor always returns when you least expect it."

Jack, Jenny, and the Brigadier watched as the two soldiers escorted them to the black helicopter. Ian boarded first and ducked into the further side of the cockpit.

But just after planting one foot inside, Barbara turned around and yelled over the whirring of the propellers, "And when he does, send our love, but tell him not to come calling."

Jenny laughed loudly at the notion. The Chestertons would always be the Doctor's perpetually reluctant companions.

The glass doors to the lab slid open with a loud wooshing noise and the lone occupant of the elaborate room looked up from her desk.

She appeared to be in her early to middle forties with short and sandy blonde hair. Her stark white lab coat was draped over a pair of charcoal trousers and a camel sweater. It was at that moment the Torchwood team realized how cold her lab was.

"Dr. Stewart," the Brigadier called out to her from their position at the door. "Captain Harkness and Miss Smith, as you requested."

The woman's lips twitched with amusement. "Thank you. Captain, Miss Smith… please come in. Let me find you some chairs."

While Dr. Stewart disappeared further into the lab, Alistair spun around to face the pair. "I best be off."

"So soon?" Jenny asked, a hint of disappointment in her normally cheerful voice.

"I believe I have an appointment with Colonel Oduya that is long since overdue," he explained to her, his mouth drawn into a thin line. "It appears as though he has forgotten that while I am still referred to as the Brigadier by common practice, I was elevated to the rank of general while he was just a chap in the academy."

"Convenient, isn't it?" Jenny mused. She clearly understood why her father had kept him around all of those years.

"Very much so," he concurred. He was certainly looking forward to knocking Oduya down a few pegs. "After your time with Doctor Stewart, I will be sure to see you off. My meeting with the Colonel shouldn't take long."

"We certainly look forward to hearing the details, Alistair," Jack answered with a poorly-concealed smirk.

With a curt nod of his head, the Brigadier walked past Jack and Jenny through the opening doors. By the time the swishing noise had repeated for a second time, Dr. Stewart had returned with a pair of rolling computer chairs.

"Off to see the Colonel, I presume." The blonde doctor shook her head with a chuckle. "There are plenty of men in this place who would pay good money to see that meeting."

Jack was the first to approach the woman, who graciously handed him a blue mug of black coffee. "I take it not too many people were happy when he was stranded."

Dr. Stewart thought it over for a bit while taking a drink from her own cup. "They weren't happy that a man who had been such an institution here was being treated so poorly. The Brigadier had been in good spirits when he left and in excellent physical and mental health, so no one quite understood why his judgment was being disregarded." She paused. "I think, since Canary Wharf, most have come around to the emphasis of science over artillery. Colonel Oduya was like taking a step back to days of old." She then added decisively, " So no. None of us were happy."

Jenny tilted her head from her spot beside Jack. He knew that look. She was studying the woman, analyzing her every word and movement in order to draw a definitive conclusion.

"None more so than you, though," she said confidently. It was apparent that her conclusion had been reached. Though, very much like her father, she enjoyed putting on a bit of a show before sharing.

"Well, I was… I was troubled by his absence, if that's what you mean." She appeared slightly put off by her question. "Colonel Oduya wasn't exactly the biggest proponent of my research methods."

"That's not what I mean." Jenny shook her head. "I'm not accusing you of anything, Doctor Stewart. I merely want to know…" She took a few steps forward, stealing Jack's coffee from his hands as she passed. The room was cold, even by Time Lord standards, and she would tolerate the strong liquid for the sake of warmth. With a brief sip, the heat spread through her body. "Why did you drop Lethbridge from your name?"

The scientist leaned her hips against the thick metal table and exhaled a breath she hadn't realized she was holding in. "How did you know that?"

The redhead sunk down into the swivel chair, still clutching the mug in her grasp. "The bone structure, the eyes…" She began, gesturing to her face. "The idea that science and research will lead us into peace long before brute force ever would." Jenny looked over at Jack, who was a little more than confused by the direction of the conversation at the moment, and grinned. Then she turned her attention back to the doctor. "How could you possibly be the daughter of anyone else?"

Dr. Stewart's lips curled upwards. "I wanted to be judged on my own merits," she finally admitted. "Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart casts a very large shadow." The woman poured a third cup of coffee from the pot resting on the table and pushed it toward Jack. "It's difficult enough to live up to the reputation I have created in my head."

Jenny dipped her chin as she gazed at the murky liquid sloshing around in the porcelain cup. "I understand that more than you realize."

Silence fell between the two women. Jack was fairly certain his partner was contemplating how best to broach the subject that tied her and Doctor Stewart together, while the older woman was generally mystified by her comment. After a short deliberation, he decided it was best to leave them to sort it out and return to aid the scientist once they had cleared the air.

He pulled his PDA from his pocket and tapped it twice. "It seems as though Dr. Smith would like a word," he announced to the women and looked up. "Maybe I'll bump into good old Mickey Mouse if I'm lucky." Jack grinned, already considering a slough of insults to hurl at his old friend. "Point me in the right direction?"

"Through the doors, take a left, and you'll find Agents Smith at the end of the hall," Dr. Stewart instructed him with a flick of her index finger. "Don't stray too far, Captain Harkness," she warned. "We still have a lot of work to do."

"Call me Jack," he answered out of habit. He preferred only soldiers addressed him by his rank, serving as a subconscious reminder that he was their superior. It usually made plans go a lot smoother. Though, upon further thought, Jack realized he also seemed to enjoy hearing his title in the bedroom, as well. He suppressed an external reaction. "If I'm gone too long, you know how to find me, Dr. Stewart."

"Kate," she corrected him smoothly. She had met far too many debonair soldiers to be sweet-talked by Jack Harkness. "And don't make me have to find you."

He held his hands up in acquiescence. "Fair enough. I'll be back in a hour, then." Jack pressed a few buttons on the face of his vortex manipulator and held up his wrist. "See… I even set a timer." Noting a lack of enthusiasm on Kate's features, he cleared his throat. "I'll see you ladies later." He made his way towards the glass doors and waved a hand in the air as he passed through. "Bye, J2!"

Once he disappeared, Jenny rolled her eyes and swiveled her chair so that she was facing Kate. "I hope you're not expecting him to be on time. He doesn't do well with limits."

"Most men don't, Miss Smith," she retorted with amusement. "And they're not very good liars, either."

It appeared Kate had drawn a similar conclusion about Jack's rather convenient text message. "Please call me Jenny. Miss Smith sounds like a headmistress," she told her with a grimace.

"Alright, Jenny," Kate returned brightly. "So, Dominator tech…" she quickly redirected the conversation to the matter at hand, hoping to resolve it with time to spare before Jack arrived. She had a lot more questions for the young Time Lord than she did before her arrival and none of them had to do with the invaders. "Where do we start?"

"Knock, knock." Jack rapped his knuckles on the open black door.

The cocoa-skinned man sitting at the lone desk in the room looked up from his massive network of computers. A grin spread across his face. "Captain Cheesecake."

He leaned against the door and slid his hands casually into his overcoat pockets. "Mickey Mouse…I'll be damned."

Mickey hopped from his desk chair to his feet and crossed the room. He embraced Jack with one leather-clad arm. "Nice to see you, Jack."

"You too, Mickey." His eyes scanned the room. "Where's the missus?"

"Med bay," he replied. "She's on telelink with the hospital in Peru that's treating your injured soldier."

"Yeah…" Jack scratched absently at the back of his neck beneath the coat. "I guess there aren't many doctors out there that know how to treat a laser blast…"

Agent Smith let out a laugh. "How was Peru?" His friend shot him a look. "Alien invasion aside."

"It was nice. We had a good time." Now it was Mickey's turn to raise his eyebrows. "Not that kind of a good time."

"Sure, whatever you say." He held up his hands defensively. "Just know that the longer you two hold out, the better shot I have in the pool."

Jack's playfulness washed away and his face hardened. "What pool?"

Kate looked on quietly as Jenny went to work disassembling one of the piloting mechanisms of the ship. She had expected the Time Lord to be handy with a screwdriver, but the speed at which her fingers deftly maneuvered through the complicated wiring of the milk crate-sized apparatus was beyond impressive.

There was a small spark and the redhead shook out her right hand. "Little zap, nothing to worry about!" she insisted and returned to the task at hand.

The older woman couldn't help but find the situation before her entertaining. She wondered how many times her father had been party to a similar scenario. It was contained chaos, for certain. "Who would have ever pictured a moment like this?"

Jenny kept her eyes on the circuit board. "Like what?"

"The Brigadier's daughter and the Doctor's daughter," Kate answered succinctly. "Picking up where their fathers left off."

"Hmm…" she mulled it over, stripping a fuchsia wire's end and reconnecting it to the panel. "Never thought of it like that. Kind of nice."

"I've never met him, but I've heard wonderful stories from my father." Jenny felt a pang of anguish in her chest. "He tells them to my son all the time."

"Like a fairytale, but better." She smiled sadly to herself. "When I find him again, I promise I will bring him to visit," she told her, pushing back the stool and walking over to the scientist. "Both you and your father."

Kate nodded appreciatively. "He would never admit it, but he misses the Doctor."

Wishing to avoid the pursuit of a subject that would inevitably lead to an onslaught of tears, Jenny diverted their train of thought. "It's all finished. Completely rewired the panel, recalibrated the polarity extrapolator, restored the induction valves, and overhauled the convection capacitor." Jenny beamed proudly at her better-than-new repair job. "Forgive me, but I fried the internal weapon sublimation system." She glanced over at Kate. "Just a precaution."

"Can't say I blame you." The blonde took a few steps forward and crouched down to take a better look at the alien intelligence. "This is brilliant."

The redhead's grin spread even wider. Living up to expectations established by the Doctor always left her feeling like she was on top of the world. Or, at the least, orbiting around it in a blue police box.

Then a thought struck her. "Kate?" The older woman glanced over her shoulder at the Time Lord. "I never mentioned my father. Not even the Brigadier knew."

Kate shrugged and turned her attention back to the technology. "It was all in your file."

Jenny's jaw clenched as the notion hit her like a ton of bricks. "Show me."

Mickey's eyes widened and he froze like a dear in headlights. There was no backtracking away from this one. "I… um…"

"Mickey," Jack addressed him in a voice reminiscent of a growl as he took a few steps forward. "What pool?" he repeated.

The younger man sighed heavily. "Some of us here at U.N.I.T. got together to bet on how long it would be before you and Jenny…" he trailed off and averted the other man's eyes. "You know."

Captain Harkness groaned, bringing a hand to his forehead. "She's going to have a coronary when she finds out."

Agent Smith's eyes watched his friend carefully, very much aware that he hadn't commented on his insinuation. "She's not going to find out."

"Oh really?" Jack challenged, folding his arms over his chest. "I did." Mickey was silent. "Does Martha know?"

"Are you kidding me? She'd kill me if she did."

Jack was incredulous. "So you thought that made it a good idea? You really are Mickey the Idiot."

"Hey!" he cried out in protest. "I am the second best hacker in this building right now and that's only because Jenny's here. U.N.I.T. doesn't hire idiots, Jack."

"Well, could have fooled me!" Jack grumbled in reply and made a beeline for the door. "I have to get to her before she finds out."

"Jack!" Mickey called out after him, now a few steps behind. "I don't think that's such a good idea!" Jack ignored him, so he began to give chase. "If Jenny finds out, she's gonna tell Martha. And if Martha finds out, I'm going to be sleeping on the couch." With the Torchwood leader disappearing around the corner, Smith broke out into a sprint. "Jack!"

Jenny continued to stare at the bottom of the computer screen, hoping she was imagining things. She so badly wanted it to be false; wished with every fiber of her being that Kate was mistaken or confused. Yet, the letters didn't change.

JHarkness.

The glass doors opened and the women craned their necks over the monitor. The man of the hour had just walked through the door.

Immediately, he noticed the scowl on his partner's face. "Jenny…"

"Save it, Jack," she sniped at him and rose to her feet.

"How did you find out?" he inquired with a sigh as Mickey made his way into the room.

"Kate told me."

"How did Kate know?" Mickey piped in, completely surprised. "I specifically left her and Martha out of the pool."

The young woman narrowed her eyes at him. "What pool?"

"Uh, Jack…" Mickey called to him nervously, taking a few steps behind him. "I don't think that's what she's mad about."

"Mickey." Her voice dropped to a dangerous low.

He swallowed hard. "There's, um… a few of us…" She glared at him. "Okay, a bunch of us, who… um…" He mentally started making calculations in his head as to whether or not he could beat Jenny out the door. "Bet on… when you and Jack would… sleep together."

Jenny took a few steps forward until she was only a foot away from him. She glowered at him menacingly. "I will deal with you later."

Mickey could swear his heart skipped a beat. "Yes, m'am."

"And you," she shifted her anger to Jack. "You created a personnel file on me."

"J2, it's protocol…" he attempted to defend himself.

"And I'm sure that disclosing that I'm a Time Lord is protocol too?" Jenny challenged him. "And how about that I'm the Doctor's daughter?"

"I was trying to protect you!" he asserted, grasping her by the shoulders.

She smacked his hands away. "Right, Jack… because documenting that there's another Time Lord out there, with a permanent residence on Earth, is a fantastic idea!" She ran her hands through her fiery locks in anguish. "There are so many species out there who are dying to get their hands on immortality. And even more who would like nothing more than to get revenge against my father. Why would you put that out there?"

"I just thought that…"

"It doesn't matter," she cut him off abruptly. "Because you thought wrong, Jack. And apparently, I did too." She whirled around on her heels and embraced Kate. "It was so very nice to meet you, Kate. I hope that we can see each other again soon."

Kate returned the hug. "I sincerely hope so too." Her heart nearly broke in two.

Jenny relinquished her hold on the woman and strode right back to face down her partner. "I have kept every one of your secrets. I have been your wingman." Tears began to prick at the corners of her eyes. "Every single time you died and came back to life, I was there, holding your hand on both ends." She shook her head at him. "And the day that I came to this planet, you hid me away until I was better, until I was safe. I trusted you, Jack. Yet, all this time, you've been lying to me." Jenny grit her teeth together as the tears fell freely. "I would have been better off if you'd left me on Satellite 5. Or better yet… if Rose hadn't brought you back at all."

Jack felt like he had been punched in the gut, the wind knocked right out of him. At the time, he felt like he had done the right thing. But now, seeing the pain in her eyes, he was far from certain.

He opened his mouth to speak, but she raised a hand in the air to silence him and stormed out the door.

A/N: You all have NO idea how happy I am to be back! After no power or heat for a week, I survived by charging my iPhone in my car and living off of fan fiction stories and even better, Torchwood audio books and radio plays. Then I went to Doctor Who audiobooks that featured David Tennant. Admittedly, I watched Much Ado About Nothing a bunch of times on my laptop during the times our generator was hooked up and I could charge it.

Thank you again for sticking by me. I'm rewarding my completion of this chapter by downloading my missed episode of the Comedy World Cup. Oh, Tennant.

By the way, I have to tell you that I JUST realized today about David's wonky blinking. TODAY. Is that not ridiculous?

Anywhere here are your well-deserved replies!

PhantomX0990 – I think part of Brig's shock is that, at this point in his life, he never thought he'd see the Doctor again. It's been so long. So yeah, the fact that she's his daughter shocks the hell out of him and the notion that they're so similar scares him a bit. It's hard to think of the Doctor as a father, so for any of the companions, it's a bit strange. I'm glad you're liking the chemistry there between Jenny and Jack. I don't want to push them along too much too quickly, but this isn't Bones or Castle either. And if YOU had a daughter, wouldn't you have a conniption if you knew the biggest lothario in the universe was her partner? At Torchwood,nonetheless? Yeah, me too.

10sladydoctor – She's definitely got some of his quirks. Though thankfully, considering she works with Jack, not his oral fixations.

Winchester Lover – Thank you! It was fun writing a Jack and Jenny adventure.

Pebbles – Thanks so much! I miss Brig.

VivaWho – Yes, he is! I re-wrote their interaction SO many times to get it to a place I liked. I'm really thrilled you liked it.

Snaptastic34 – Thanks, my dear!

Madame Harkness – You are spot on about the NIT tests. They're brutal. I thought that it would be very Doctor of Jenny to not get along with a military-minded man in the beginning, but to have him come around in the end. And on the subject of which, don't worry… the Jenny/Cardozo thing will be explored.

GeekChic20 – Oh dear, indeed!

Whovians Unite – I've never heard that before, but I want to hear it again!

Grace the Time Gypsy – How serendipitous indeed! That's EXACTLY how I wanted it to turn out. It makes it that much more torturous, no? Glad you liked the way it went with the plot. Hope you liked this one too.

Trouble in the Night – I should be studying my Torts book, but really… isn't Jack and Jenny so much better to read about? I think the question you pose about Jack's opinion of her date with Cardozo is going to be so much more relevant now!

BAUNSY – Thank you so much! You know, it's interesting… I never considered those pairings before. Hmm. Hope you liked this one too.

Me – It's you again! Haha. Take all the time you need to read… I just care that you enjoy! Well, the thing is… she DID regenerate in Jack's presence. So while she mostly rebounded off of her father's residual energy, Harkness was still around. I thought about that too!

Rya-fire1 – Oh, I believe you're dead on. And obliviousness is totally a Time Lord thing!

DoctorWhotaliaandtheOlympian s – Cardozo will pop back into the picture soon enough and I think he'll get you to come around just a little bit! And I think the Dominators would quake in their odd go go-like boots!

Web of Obsidian – Super sized chapters are always a fun treat! I am completely saddened by the fact that we'll never see the Brig and Ten on screen, so it is my duty to reunite them on the Internet. Well, down the road, anyway. And I am SO thrilled to hear you thought the Nazca Lines plot point was very Whovian!

Mylia11 – Thanks! I think the Doctor is going to be pretty overwhelmed. I'm overwhelmed trying to keep it all straight! HAHA.

The you-know-what is about to hit the fan over at Torchwood. The good news is that this chapter is really a toppling point. You're going to see a lot of personal development for Jenny. Also, the return of Sarah Jane!

Have a great week, everyone!
