Don't Hate the Crime [ Part 1]

The TARDIS couldn't stand it. Her Thief was so sad all the time - he wasn't in the adventures any more. Sure he would smile and laugh with Amy but he wasn't the same, she could tell. It honestly hurt her to see her Thief without his Swan and she vowed to get her back.

But the TARDIS could see all of time; past present and future were laid out for her to view and to travel so she knew what her Swan was going through - and she also knew what needed to happen before she could come back to them. So as the last remaining TARDIS in the universe, the task fell to her.

Winter needed to become human again.

"Come on Amber. It won't be that bad." Anna Daniels was the only one that could get Winter to change her mind. She had met her in Wales while she had been researching her…powers a few years ago and ever since then, they had become great friends but because Anna had met her in the Pre-Doctor part of her life, she had known her as Amber and honestly, it was a nice change.

"The last time I got a job, it was for Harold Saxon, and we all know how that turned out." No they didn't. There were only a hand full of people who had actually known about The Year That Never Was - and she couldn't have cared less about some of them.

"That was a freak chance. Come on Winter - it won't happen again." Winter looked at her pleading eyes and the alien part of her began getting increasingly annoyed with her. Her eyes widened with shock and Winter brought out a small epi-pen looking object. With a jab, she injected herself with the clear looking liquid and bit her lip to stop the momentary prick of pain.

Anna's eyes widened and she bit her lip. "You forgot to take your medicine again right?" Winter nodded. "Oh Amber, you really shouldn't do that."

"I know - I just forgot."

"Come on, let's get some tea." Winter followed her friend through the streets. She couldn't believe she had been so careless and forgotten. She needed the dose otherwise something happened to her.

She remembered what had happened last time.

Winter smiled menacingly at Jack. "You think you can stop me? Hah, pathetic human." She could feel her lips moving and hear her voice but it wasn't Winter talking. Something had been let loose ever since The Year That Never Was.

"Come on Winter. We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Jack said.

It laughed cruelly, raising a hand and sweeping it to the side. As it did so, Jack mirrored it's movement. He smashed against the wall with a sickening crack and a grunt of pain.

"Jack!" Ari cried. She turned on the thing in anger and fired three shots of her gun but then shots only bounced off the creature. Ari stood there in shock. That was the most powerful weapon they had at their disposal and it hadn't even scratched the damn thing!

"You think you can beat me? No. I'm more than you will ever be." It said happily. With another hand it swept Ari off her feet right next to Jack.

"So what are you then? Cause I'm pretty sure that you'll be dead within the hour." Jack said. Already the broken bone had healed and he was back on his feet.

"You can't kill me without killing you precious Winter. Trust me - I'm the Angel." Something about what the Angel had just said made her host boil with fury inside of her but the Angel just laughed it off. She wasn't going anywhere and there was nothing Winter could do about it.

"Well Angel. You're time is up." The Angel spun round just in time to see a large bat connect to her forehead. With a grunt, she fell to the ground, momentarily knocked out.

"Nice work Owen." Ari said but she wasn't smiling as she usually was. Whatever that was, it had Winter. Something was wrong with her and Ari didn't know how to help her.

"Yeh well the bitch kicked me in the balls. It was personal." He said frowning. "But what happened to Winter?" He asked. Like the rest of the team, Owen had grown attached to the woman who looked eerily like his boss' girlfriend. It was weird but he loved her like the annoying little sister she was.

"Dunno. One minuet she was fine the next…" Jack pointed to the crumpled Winter.

"What should we do with her?" Ari asked, still frowning. But before anyone could answer, they were met with a groaning Winter.

"Ohh did River punch me again?" She asked slightly disorientated. When she opened her eyes properly she noticed that everyone was holding a gun in front of her. She sighed. "Really? A gun? If I was the Angel, you would probably all be dead by now." She grumbled getting up.

"How do we know you're you?" Ari asked. Winter swivelled her head around to look at the woman and ran her fingers through her platinum blonde hair.

"Are my eyes grey?" There was a collective no throughout the group. "Then you have nothing to worry about. Oh and by the way, I'm sorry I broke you're leg Jack."

She had already figured it out. When the Angel - as she seemed to want to be called - took over, Winter had time to look over memories.

The Doctor had told her what had happened on the Byzantium - the Weeping Angel taking over, eyes going grey, wanting to take over her body…but she had also been told that she snapped out of it when River punched her.

This lead her to wondering when the Angel came out - it had the whole year to do so before but it hadn't, at least not fully so why was that? Winter believed that it was because her pain receptors were constantly being stimulated.

This lead to the conclusion. Stimulate her pain receptors and the Angel goes away.

When she had told the team they seemed to understand and to agree with her but the problem was, how did they administer the pain in public? Winter couldn't go around asking people to punch her when the Angel wanted to take over so they devised another way.

They managed to strip a few nanogens that Jack had found somewhere in the Hub of their normal properties and insert them with a stimulus that would affect Winter's pain receptors for the given time. She would take it and the Angel would leave her alone for a while.

Eventually they managed to liquefy it and put it in a Epi-Pen. The dose would automatically refill thanks to the nanogens and Winter would use it when needed under the pretence of having diabetes.

It had worked like a charm.

"Seriously though, apply." Anna insisted after she was sure that Winter was okay. "What harm could it do?

"Fine." Winter said giving in. "I'll apply to the bloody job." Anna squealed in happiness, hugging her friend tightly, jumping up and down. At times like these, it was just easier to give in to the woman.

As it turned out, Winter had managed to get the job for the company. It was new; a company that produced dieting pills for the public. They were called Adipose Industries, and Winter had managed to get a job as a receptionist.

It wasn't fun, but the pay was alright. The best part about the job was that she and Anna could go and get lunch together as Anna worked in the building right next to her. Anna was an accountant, she had always loved numbers for as long as Winter had known her and she had excelled in anything mathematical.

The phone rang and Winter smiled as she looked at the caller ID. "Hi." She said answering the phone. "I'm just leaving now. Cassie's covering for me."

"Good. I'm outside the door." Winter pressed end on the phone and nodded over to Cassie who was just coming up. Cassie smiled and Winter smiled back momentarily before picking up her jacket and walked out of the building.

It wasn't long before she came face to face with Anna's beaming smile. Whenever Winter saw the brunette she was always smiling, always happy and always had a good word to say. In short, Anna was an optimist.

"So where do you wanna go eat today?" Anna asked, pulling Winter next to her and linking her arm with hers.

"Dunno, Chinese?"

Anna's grin got wider as she led them in the right direction. "Mr Wong's it is then." And with that she led them to one of their favourite restaurants.

By the time they had finished lunch, Winter needed to get back to work. With a smile and a hug, she and Anna parted ways and Winter made her way back to work. "Hey Cassie, anything happen?" She asked, taking over her place as receptionist.

"Not really. But there's a health and safety check by some Danna women. Shouldn't be too bad." Winter nodded at the uneventful incident. Once Cassie had left, Winter began work. Being a receptionist was boring, incredibly so, so what she would do is help Torchwood whenever she could.

Certain cases would be too much for the, or they didn't have enough information to help anyone – and Winter had found that over The Year That Never Was, her brain had developed far more than a human.

She could feel the information about things normal humans wouldn't even begin to think they could understand it, she could memorise information by just looking at it and what was even more incredible was that this was only a tiny portion of what she could now do.

Whatever the High Priestess had done to Winter, it was finally coming into play.

Torchwood were hunting a Joule, a slimy creature that had fallen through the Hub into the world. In it's original form it was a dark green in colour and over 6 feet tall, could let out a deadly gas that could kill it's prey from over 100 metres away. This would usually make it easy for the team to capture but unfortunately, the Joule had the annoying ability to adapt to its environment after assimilating itself into it for a while.

This usually happened with in a 68 hour time frame and with only 15 hours left, the team were finding it difficult to finds the smarmy basterd.

However, Tosh had managed to collect a DNA sample from it before it had escaped the Hub and had managed to send it to Winter. Using the same device she had to send Jack and Martha down to Earth, she used reversed it to locate the Joule. With the co-ordinates in place, she sent the information to Ari, hoping they would be able to track it down before it did any major damage.

She had just finished sending the co-ordinates when a shadow appeared in front of her. Looking up, Winter saw a medium sized woman with long, ginger hair and brown eyes. "Can I help you?" She asked.

"Where's the other one?" The lady asked. Refraining from rolling her eyes, she answered.

"Cassie? She isn't the actual receptionist, I am. So is there anything I can do to help you?"

The woman pulled out a card and flashed it at Winter. Another one of the amazing things that had happened was that Winter now had incredibly good eyesight – and because of that, she had managed to see that whatever card the woman was holding up, was not official. "Donna Noble, Health and Safety," the woman – Donna said.

Winter frowned at the fact that whatever Donna was doing, she wasn't supposed to be doing it. That and the fact that Winter was sure that she had heard that name before. Treading carefully, she answered with a fake happy voice: "How may I help you?"

"I need a list of your customer. I asked over there but they said to come to you." She said pointing to the general space behind her.

Winter took a moment to look at the woman before nodding slowly. "Hmm, yeh, the printer is always breaking. If you could just hold on a moment Ms Noble." Winter brought up a list of the customers and managed to print them off pretty quickly. "The printer is just over there Ms Noble." She said pointing to the are of it. Donna nodded and headed off.

Not a moment later, Winter was typing furiously into the Torchwood database. 'Donna Noble.' A few pictures came up and Winter found the one that matched the woman she had just spoken to.

Donna Cassandra Noble, aged 32.

Winter read through all the information Torchwood had on her but nothing seemed to stand out. She was a normal civilian that had done nothing worth talking about. It was odd that Torchwood even had anything on her to begin with.

But then, right at the end, Winter froze.

Has known to have associated with the Doctor.

She bit her lip. Now she remembered where she had heard that name from. Her Doctor had told her about Donna, about how amazing and remarkable the human had been – and also how much he missed her.

Winter had been so engrossed with her thoughts that she hadn't noticed a man walk up to her desk. "Hello. John Smith, Health and Safety."

For the second time in five minutes, Winter Swann froze. She knew that voice. She hated that voice.

Winter didn't want to see him but most of all, she didn't want him to know that she was there. Already she had changed her hair colour before she had come to London; she didn't like it, at least, she didn't at the moment when she was around this regeneration. It was too unusual, too different. And this Doctor was known for taking people who were strange and different.

As quickly as she could, Winter changed her normal bright green eyes to a dull grey before looking up at the man and smiling.

He hadn't changed at all. It was like he was frozen in time. But no, that's not right. He has changed. And if she looked close enough, she could see it; his eyes held more pain and sorrow than the last time she had seen him. Something else had happened to him and it had hurt him. Good. A part of her found herself saying.

"Good afternoon Mr Smith. How may I help you?" She said with the biggest fake smile she could put on her face. Something was going on – especially if the Doctor was here to investigate.

"Could you print off the client list?" Winter nodded and pressed a few clicks and presses of her keys, she sent the Doctor off to the printer.

[][][]

Once she got home, Winter went straight to her laptop. With a few clicks she had hacked into the company website and looked at the information. Everything seemed legit but there was one substance that she didn't know of.

Picking up her phone she called Ari. After a few rings, her friend picked up. "Winter? Now really isn't a good time honey." There was a large bang in the background and a snarl could be heard from the other side of the connection.

"Why? Did you find the Joule?" She asked worriedly. Ari and Jack were her family - the only ones she properly considered as family. Well, there's my Doctor now I suppose, she thought as she traces the lines of the tattoo.

"Yeh, and it's kicking our arses. Could you call back in a little while?" Suddenly a shout of pain could be heard and Winter winced. "Son of a bitch!"

"Okay but…be careful Ari." She said biting her lip.

"Don't worry about me, I can't die remember?" She said with a laugh. She had to admit, it made Winter feel a little but better knowing that Ari and Jack couldn't actually die but it still didn't mean she wanted them to have to go through it.

It wasn't long after that that her phone rang and she picked it up eagerly. "Hello?"

"Winter. What was it you needed honey?" Ari asked. Winter could almost hear the smile in Ari's voice and she breathed a sigh of relief knowing that if Ari was calling this quickly then it meant that the rest of the team was okay.

"There's a chemical in the pills that Adipos Industries are sending out that I can't find and –"

"Wait." She was cut off by Ari. The tone of her voice was one that Winter had heard many times before. "Why are you looking into Adipose?"

She couldn't lie, Ari had some odd ability that allowed her to know when people were lying and apparently that also worked over the phone. "I saw the Doctor today."

The gasp resounded through the phone. "Oh honey, I'm sorry." While Ari didn't know what had happened during The Year That Never Was, Jack had told her. He had worried about her and she had known that he was lying when he said he was fine.

He had told her everything that had happened to him and Martha, and he had told her what Winter had done for him. That in turn led to Ari asking Winter what had happened to her – and because Winter needed someone to talk to, she had told Ari everything.

She had spent hours crying over what had happened; letting out tears that hadn't been shed in years and Ari had sat there and comforted her for as long as she needed it.

"Yeh well, anyway . Whatever the Doctor is here for cant be good so I reckon that if I speed the process along, he'll be gone faster."

"But Winter, what about…the Doctor." It was hard sometimes to be reminded that there was a Doctor somewhere that didn't hate her – and sometimes it was even harder to wonder why he hadn't come and found her yet.

"What about him?" She asked.

"Don't you need this one to help you find yours?" It was confusing when she talked to Ari about the Doctor. His past and future self were so different yet so equally annoying to talk about.

"No. If the Doctor wants to find me then he will. There has to be some reason why he hasn't." But even to her own ears it sounded like Winter was trying to convince herself. Still, Ari didn't say anything about it knowing how touchy the subject was.

"Okay then." There was a pause before she carried on. "So what were you calling about?"

"There's a substance in the pills called Exoctolydomide. I can't find it anywhere in any database so I was wondering if you could do that for me?"

"Sure. Give me two hours." This was the work mode. She knew that because Ari didn't even say bye before hanging up the phone. But at least now she had a deadline. All she had to do, was kill time while waiting for the information. And she knew the perfect way to do it.

How did you like it? I know it dosent seem like 'Partner in Crime' But that's cuz it was from Winter's veiw, and remember that it is only part one.

So. I was gonna ask you. DO you think that some of the stuff is a little cliche? A reviewer brought it to my attention and was just wondering what you lot thought.

Any way, same deal as last time.
