Here you are my dears, for those of you who don't read What's in a Name, my beta Bad2Wolf2Mcgee's fabulous work Fawks is cameo-ing in a part of it, even I don't know what she's doing :P

Ziggymia123: I know breaks are good but my breaks usually equate to being longer than the actual work spent… oh well, this is ten times more fun ;) Yes, you are going to have to be patient my friend, but don't worry all will be answered, in due time.

Bad2Wolf2Mcgee: I appreciate your review and hope you feel better : ( Look at you, asking all the right questions before the chapter is up ;) I don't know what you're singing is about but I'm thinking it's a different meaning… unless we're both geniuses and have thought of the same plot line, but I doubt it because yours seems a lot more complex than mine… GOD DAMN CLUES! And now Fawks is in your world I know some clues are answered but I don't know what! *frustration* I'll just have to take a leaf out of Ziggymia123's book and patiently wait for answers.


Chapter 35

Fawks hadn't heard the singing for days now, so she hadn't told anyone. She didn't have any weird feelings or anything. It wasn't even like what she was hearing was remotely scary, it was just her voice singing a song that she couldn't even hear clearly, like listening to something underwater, she could just hear a soft tune and mumbled maybe words. But, it wasn't scary. Not really, that's why she was so unsure about why she was so scared, she heard voices in her head all the time, she could read minds at a stretch.

Just rift travel, echoes of energy messing with us. Fawks assured herself. John shifted at her side, yawning widely.

"Morning."

"Hey." Fawks smiled.

"Are you ok?" John asked.

"I'm fine, why?"

"You look all concerned."

"I'm always concerned." Fawks said, "I'm a super criminal constantly on the run from the law and I work for a dangerous organisation that hunts hostile aliens and saves the world." Fawks smiled. "That's a lot of concerns."

"Yeah, but you look more so this morning." John said softly, kissing her forehead. She should have told him then, she was worried there was something wrong with her and she was actually going insane but instead she simply said.

"I had a dream about Kam." Technically, it wasn't a lie. She had a dream of Kam every night, she even dreamed of him in her waking hours. John sighed sadly.

"I know." He said, hugging her. Fawks rolled out of bed before she could tell him anything else that made her feel guilty.


"Are you ok?" Jack asked as she walked in.

"Did I wear my ask me if I'm ok shirt today?" Fawks snapped. "I'm fine." She strolled into the kitchen and leant against the counter reaching up into the cupboard to pull out a packet of digestives.

"Did it happen again?"

"No," Fawks told Ianto as she sat up on the counter.

"Then what's the problem?"

"I'm sick of people asking me if I'm ok, I am fine."

"Alright," Ianto said, heading to his coffee machine. "But keep snapping at people for caring isn't going to convince them that you're ok."

"Sorry." Fawks said softly. "I don't know, tired I guess." Fawks said. Ianto handed her a steaming mug with a smile.

"You're a star,"

"I know."


"Fawks, rift alert!" Jack yelled up to the demon's secluded office. She jumped out of the alcove with her wings open and glided to the ground. Following Jack and Alexandra out of the hub.

By the time they got to the location police and ambulances had surrounded the area.

"The amateurs got here first, this car needs an upgrade Captain."

"Then you better get off your arse and do some work!"

"Oi," Fawks laughed, climbing out of the car, "You're one to talk, you're getting fat,"

"It's not my fault Ianto can cook a mean steak." Jack called over, holding the door open for Alexandra.

"Well, we do all enjoy a bit of Ianto meat." Fawks smirked, skipping over to the police tape and seeing Alexandra roll her eyes at her.

"I'm Torchwood." Fawks told the police simply whilst dodging under the tape and into the tent they had set up, apparently something had hurt someone and then sat by them whilst they suffered.

"Is she always like that?" Alexandra asked Jack.

"What? Cheeky, cocky and dirty-minded? All the time," He laughed, following the demon's path under the tape.

She had stopped at the door and was looking in.

"What's wrong?"

"It's a-" Fawks stuttered before laughing.

Jack looked into the tent to look at the creature, sat in the corner looking rather timid was what looked like a small purple rabbit. Along it's back however were a series of spikes and it had a horn on it's head.

"It's a pokémon." Alexandra said in shock.

"What?" Jack asked, looking between the laughing demon and his other shocked team mate.

"It's a male nidoran." Fawks snorted.

"Now I actually have seen it all." Alexandra smiled.

"You've not been in this job that long kid. There's so much more." Fawks smiled. She turned to Jack.

"How are we going to catch it?"

"I'll go get the carrier case." Jack said, turning back to the SUV.

Alexandra knelt down to the ground and put her hand out to the purple rabbit.

"Careful." Fawks warned, eyeing the rather lethal looking horn on the rabbit's head.

"He's scared." Alexandra said softly, the rabbit looked over to her and then slowly and cautiously put its nose out to smell her outstretched fingers. She softly stroked the rabbit's head, smiling softly as it stepped closer.

The car journey home did involve a brief naming session for the new pet and ignoring Jack's comments of

"Don't name it, you'll get attached and be upset if we can't keep it."

"You keep John." Alexandra said.

"She's got a point," Fawks agreed with a laugh.

"It has already hurt someone."

"And felt guilty and sat by them until help came." Alexandra argued. Jack rolled his eyes at the two women cooing over the rabbit.

"Oh my god, it's a pokémon." Gwen said, seeing the rabbit curled up in Alexandra's arms. "Owen wakes up in the mornings to watch that programme."

"It's not a pokémon." Jack rolled his eyes. "It's an alien."

"Could be both," Fawks argued, Freddie jumping up into her arms and watching the new arrival with suspicious eyes.

"Don't worry, he'll never replace you," Fawks whispered to the dragon, he looked up at her and blew little flickers of flames up at her affectionately.

"Jacky, the regular tests please, and watch the horns, we think they're poisonous."

"Do you think it's got super powers?" Fawks said to John.

"I hope so, I'd love to see Jack taken down by a purple rabbit."

"Not nearly as funny as when he was taken down by a unicorn." Gwen smiled over at them.

"We still out tonight?" John asked Fawks, taking her hand into his.

"If we finish early enough," Fawks nodded. "Where are you taking me?"

"It's a surprise." John grinned.


Review? And oh! Doctor Who tonight! :D
