Chapter 61.
(Harry POV)
I was back in Cardiff after getting back with Martha from our Honeymoon in France. But one day she Got a call from someone which that day made her not wanting to let go of me. I wonder what it was. But Martha couldn't tell me, So we just went back to our honeymoon as Martha just stayed with me all this time before We had to go back and Martha wanted to be with Mum for some reason as Jenny came with me.
Jenny and I headed into the Hab and Then something was trying to get in my head. "Ow," I said.
"Harry, Bro What's wrong," Jenny said.
"Something is trying to get in my head. Can't you feel it," I said.
"No," Jenny said. "Hey, Try focusing on me,"
"I'm trying that," I said. Then After a few minutes it was gone. "It's gone,"
"No idea what brought it on," Jenny said.
"No," I said
10 minutes later, we heard the HAB doors open and Gwen walks in.
"Harry I thought you were away with Martha," Gwen said.
"Already have, Don't forget Time Machine so, Martha's Back home, Martha wanted to be with Mum and them, As I came back here," I said.
"Something happen," Gwen said.
"Not as far as I know, We had a great time, Actually we still are now, Well a past verison of us," I said.
"That's true," Gwen said. "So you back,"
"Oh yeah, What has been going on lately," I said.
"Just on the way here, Every Kid just stopped," Gwen said.
"When was this," Jenny said.
"10 minutes ago," Gwen said.
"That's the same time when I had that headache," I said.
"What," Gwen said.
"Harry was getting a bad headache right then," Jenny said.
"It was like something was trying to get into my head," I said.
"That was when the kids out there stopped too," Gwen said.
"Now that is disturbing," I said.
"Gwen let's see what we can find out," Jenny said.
"Where's Jack and Ianto," Gwen said.
"Must be out," I said.
"Harry, Gwen, According to Ianto's Phone Both of them are at the hospital," Jenny said.
"What for?" Gwen said.
"Doesn't say," Jenny said.
"We can ask them when they get back," I said.

Jack and Ianto came in.
"You are going to get us killed," Ianto said.
"No you get killed, not me, you die like a dog, like an ugly Dog," Jack said.
"When is that new," I said.
"Harry, you're back," Jack said.
"Tardis, Why not," I said.
"Damn straight," Jack said. "Where's Martha,"
"Back with Mum," I said.
"Picked me up on the way," Jenny said.
"Oi, I've found something," Gwen said.
"Yeah, Well I want you to do a check on St Helen's hospital, specifically the morgue," Jack said.
"Well, there's a computer do it yourself," Gwen said.
"Oh, Jack," Jenny said.
"Meanwhile I've been getting reports of 17 road traffic accidents happening right across the country, all the way from Glasgow to St Ives," Gwen said.
"Is that about average," Jack said.
"When was this," I said.
"All between 8.40 and 8.41," Gwen said.
"Exactly the same time I got that headache," I said.
"17 traffic accidents happening at exactly the same minute, and all of them involving children," Gwen said.
"And the same time as Harry's Headache, Not coincidence," Jenny said.
"That would be the school run," Ianto said.
"All of them just standing in the road, Not crossing the road, just standing, I saw it myself Jack," Gwen said. "2 Kids on Market street well, they just stopped,"
"Gwen just check it worldwide," I said.
"Already I'm," Ianto said. "From France, 15 accidents, all timed around 9.40, They're an hour ahead so it was simultaneous,"
"All involving Children," Gwen said.
"Yeah on hold still cross referencing, here we go," Ianto said. Reports coming in, RTAs un Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Bosnia, Germany, India, Egypt, Guyana, Tokyo, Singapore. At 8.40 GMT, Most of America was asleep, But there are reports from there too. At 8.40 Every single child stopped,"
"Seen anything like this before," Gwen said.
"No," I said.
"No way, kids," Jack said.
"So is this alien or what," Gwen said.
"No idea, but from what I am seeing here, United Nations have gone to Yellow Alert," I said.
"I just got Sergeant Grunt, I'm talking to a sergeant," Jack said.
"No Jack, We are leaving Martha out of this one," I said. "Technically Right now Me and Martha are on our honeymoon,"
"What have they said," Gwen said.
"UNIT Base in Washington has run some tests on a couple of kids, Brains, Scans, Blood sugar, Checking for Radiation, Nothing," Jack said.
"Damn then what is this and Why did I get a headache at that same moment now it hasn't came back," I said.
"No idea," Jack said.
"You were right, he's back," Ianto said.
"I said so," Jack said laughing.
"Who's back," Gwen said.
As we headed over.
"What's he doing?" Jack said.
"Waiting just like you said. He's been there 20 minutes," Ianto said.
"Persistent," Jack said.
"Good Sign," Ianto said.
"Dogmatic," Jack said.
"Always a plus," Ianto said.
"Oh Christ, Never work with a couple you 2 talk like Twins," Gwen said.
"I know a set of Twins and they are funny doing that," I said. "Who is he?"
"Rupesh Patanjali, He saw the hitchhiker," Ianto said. "He's the Bodies going missing man,"
"Dr. Patanjali," Jack said. "We need a doctor,"
"What and you just let him follow you," Gwen said.
"Ask about Torchwood and most people point towards the bay," Ianto said.
"When is that new. I swear if he guy orders Pizza and did what Owen did," I said.
"Oh, you bastards," Gwen said
"Why?" Jenny said.
"We did that to her the first time we met," I said.
"Exactly," Gwen said. "Well sod that, I'm promoting myself to recruitment officer," Heading off.
"She is calling us a couple now," Ianto said.
"What's your problem," Jack said.
"Just saying," Ianto said.
"Typically," I said.
"I hate the word Couple," Jack said.
"No you don't," Jenny said.
"Me too," Ianto said.
"Lair," I said.
As Jenny and I went over to the other computer.
Eventually Jenny and I were almost done, Then the Headache came back again.
"It's happing again," Jack said As he and Ianto Ran out.
"Harry, What is it?" Jenny said.
"It's happening again," I said. "I can feel something trying to get into my head. OW," As I could hear screaming in my head.
"Harry What's wrong?" Jenny said.
"Whatever it is. It's screaming in my head, That's better," I said As it stopped. "Wow. Whatever it says is saying something,"
"What," Jenny said.
"We are coming," I said. "Over and over again," Then it stopped as did the headache. "It's stopped,"
As Ianto, Jack and Gwen came back in.
"Harry," Jack said.
"It's happened again," I said. "I heard it all of it. Just we are coming over and over again, What is this Jack,"
"No idea," Jack said.
"How's the head," Jenny said.
"It's gone," I said.
"How you doing," Jack said.
"It stopped any luck," I said.
"No, Had to leave a message," Jack said.
"Where else has this happened?" I said.
"All over the world, It's everywhere," Ianto said.
"I got to make a call," I said. Heading out and Called Fleur.
"Harry," Fleur said.
"Yeah, it's me. Is it happening there too?" I said.
"Qui, It was happening to Gabby. Harry what is this?" Fleur said.
"No idea, I never seen anything like this," I said. "We are working on it. But No matter what tell everyone to keep an eye on them. No matter what anyone says,"
"Papa has already done that," Fleur said. "But that isn't what is weird,"
"Why what was it," I said.
"Gabby," Fleur said.
"Fleur, What is it," I said.
"Gabby was talking in English," Fleur said.
"But Gabby barely knows it," I said.
"Exactly, yet Gabby was speaking English. Perfect English," Fleur said.
"But Earth's Dominate language is Chinese. Well Mandarin, What is this, Why is everyone on this planet at the same time. All of them speaking English," I said.
"What do we do," Fleur said.
"Nothing, Just watch her, Call me if there is a change in her. But no matter what do not let her out of your sight," I said. "I call when I have something,"
"Okay, I will let everyone else know," Fleur said. Before I hanged up and headed back in as Gwen was leaving only to hear about the only elder on the planet doing the same thing.

Jack and Ianto was away out. I got Jenny to go to the Tardis. As I got Myfanwy on it too, Whatever it is. But soon Ianto was back. Not to much later so was Gwen but she ran for the Medbay. Then Jack finally got back.
"Holy shit what happened to you," I said.
"We need damage control. One body, Dr Rupesh Patanjali, shot in the back, St Helen's hospital," Jack said.
"What happened?" Ianto said.
"I don't know," Jack said. "He was just left there right beside me like someone's gloating,"
"Did they kill you?" Ianto said.
"Yeah," Jack said. "Maybe we are being targeted. Where's Jenny,"
"Tardis," I said. "Whether it's that guy or you, we should all be careful,"
"Better tell Gwen," Jack said.
"She's back, She's in the lab," Ianto said.
"Gwen, Boy have I had a day," Jack said. "Harry, Ianto, We're having a baby,"
"What, No way," I said. "You told Rhys yet,"
"I've only just found out myself," Gwen said.
"Oh you told us before you told him, he is gonna love that," Jack said.
"Congratulations," Ianto said. "Would now be a good time to tell you I lost the car,"
"What," Jack and I said.
"That is just bloody spectacular," Gwen said. "But what about this place and my job,"
"We'll manage, We always do," Jack said.
"Plus I'm back for a while." I said.
Then the Klaxon in the base started going.
"What the hell is that?" Gwen said.
"Oh my god, It's a bomb," Jack said.
"There's a bomb inside your stomach," Ianto said.
"Gwen, Ianto out now," I said.
"No," Gwen said.
"What's the blast radius," I said.
"1 mile," Ianto said.
"Right, Both of you out now," I said. "It's active also we got 2 minutes, Gwen, Ianto go,"
"I can't just run," Gwen said.
"You're Pregnant," Jack said.
"Gwen go, Ianto you too," I said. Pushing him on. As they got out the door. As I put Torchwood on Lockdown.
"Lockdown," The Computer said.
"OW, It's happening again," I said.
"Harry, you need to go too," Jack said. "What is it saying,"
"Same thing," I said.
"Harry you are going to got locked inside," Jack said.
"Torchwood Lockdown," Computer said.
"You gotta go," Jack said.
"Fine, Vortex now," Harry said.
"Here. Go," Jack said.
"We will find you," I said. Setting the coordinates for the Tardis and Went. Getting there and into the Tardis. "Jenny, pull it now,"
"Why," Jenny said.
"Now," I said.
As Jenny pulled it as the Engines kicked in, As I heard the last part of the message. As I went away.
"Harry, What is it?" Jenny said.
"Someone set a bomb in Jack's Stomach, Had to put it on Lockdown. Got Jack to give me his Vortex and used it to get here at the same time it was happening again," I said.
"What did it say," Jenny said. "Is Jack alright,"
"I don't know Dad said that Jack can't die so we got to find where whoever did this is taking them. As for what it said was We are coming Back," I said.
"We got to find the others," Jenny said.
"Gwen and Ianto got out," I said. "But we can't land back there,"
"So what do we do," Jenny said.
"We don't call anyone, There is only one person which can order a hit like that," I said. We are going there,"
"Where?" Jenny said.
"London," I said.
As we landed near Mum, Lily, Revan and Martha.
"Now what," Jenny said.
"What I want to know is why did it say. We are coming back, Back, Which means this has happened before," I said. "So when did it happen,"
"No idea," Jenny said.
"Let's go and find Gwen and Ianto, Come on," I said after I grabbed my phaser. Then we headed out. As we headed for home. As I used the sonic to get us in. Where Mum was waiting for us.
"Harry, Jenny," Mum said.
"We're fine, Mum," I said.
"What happened where's the others," Mum said.
"Gwen and Ianto made it out," Jenny said.
"Jack," Mum said.
"Who ever did it put a bomb in him, Jack had to stay in the Hub," I said.
"So where is he?" Mum said.
"No idea, Here keep this, We can use this to talk, Better than using the phones," I said. "Who ever did this could track and listen into our phone calls,"
"Harry," Martha said. As I move over and hugged her.
"I'm okay," I said. As Martha just hanged onto me.
"I saw and I thought," Martha said.
"I'm fine, So is Ianto and Gwen, Jack had to stay in the Hub someone put a bloody bomb into his stomach," I said.
"Where are they?" Martha said.
"No idea, Can't risk calling them either, Mum has Jack's Vortex. I can keep in touch with mine," I said.
"What, you going out there again," Martha said.
"I have to find out what is going on and stop this," I said.
"You better come back," Martha said.
"Oh He will," Revan said. "I'm going with him,"
"Me too," Jenny said.
"No, Stay here with them," I said.
"What, Harry," Jenny said.
"Stay here with them, At least I know they are going to be okay," I said.
"You better come back," Jenny said.
"I am going to make sure of it," Revan said.
"Then let's go," I said. As Revan headed to get a few things.
"Come back," Martha said. As She kissed me.
"Oh I will," I said kissing her back. "See you soon,"
"I love you," Martha said.
"Love you too," I said. As we started to head out as Mum Hugged me.
"Be careful Harry," Mum said.
"I will, I see you once this is all done, Mum," I said.
"You better, Harry," Mum said. "I love you,"
"Love you too, Mum," I said.
That was when Revan was back and we headed out and to the Tardis. Where We took it to London. As we headed out as Revan and I got our jackets on and started walking.
Then My head went again.
"Not again," I said.
"What?" Revan said.
"It's happening again. Oh my head," I said.
"What is it, What's going on?" Revan said.
"What ever is doing this, It's happening again, It's try to get into my head for the last 3 times it did this and it is doing it again," I said.
"What is it saying?" Revan said.
"It's says we are coming tomorrow," I said. "Over and over again,"
"Is what ever is doing this is coming here Tomorrow," Revan said.
"Yes," I said. As we got to an alleyway. And Called Mum.
"Harry," Mum said.
"It's happening again," I said.
"What are they saying Harry," Jenny said.
"That they are coming tomorrow," I said.
As my headache has stopped.
"It's stopped. I talk to you in a bit. If I know Gwen she try and get hold of someone. I got to get to her fast," I said.
As I ended the call. Then We headed and found Rhys.
As we headed over.
"Rhys," I said.
"Harry, oh thank god. Gwen has been going mad trying to find you," Rhys said. "Who's this,"
"Revan," Revan said.
"Rhys," Rhys said.
"Harry," Gwen said.
"Hey, Gwen," I said.
"Oh thank god, I was worry you didn't make it out of there," Gwen said hugging me.
"No, I used Jack Vortex to get out," I said. As She let go.
"And Jack," Gwen said.
"No idea," I said.
"Who is this," Gwen said.
"Revan," Revan said.
"Gwen," Gwen said. "Where's Jenny?"
"Home," I said.
"Good," Gwen said. "Come on, I got a meet with him,"
"Take this then we can listen in," I said. As They did and Revan and I was across the street on the roof where we can see Gwen and Rhys.
"Can we trust this guy?" Rhys said.
"He's our man in the government. If we can't, We really are in trouble," Gwen said.
"Gwen We really are in trouble," Rhys said.
"He ain't wrong there," Revan said.
"No he isn't," I said.
"We've got to trust someone, Rhys, ok," Gwen said.
As I saw a woman walk into the cafe.
"Hi, I'm Lois," Lois said.
"Where's Frobisher," Gwen said.
"He's not coming," Lois said.
"Why not?" Gwen said.
"Oh God, this is probably the worst mistake of my life," Lois said. "I've read your files, Some of the stuff you've done, you're like unsung national heroes,"
"Listen, I don't do autographs and I don't want to be rude but why am I talking to you and not your boss," Gwen said.
"Because if he knew you were here you'd be dead," Lois said. "He gave the order to have Jack Harkness killed,"
"It's was Frobisher," I said.
"Are you sure?" Gwen said.
"I've seen it with my own eyes," Lois said.
"We really are in trouble," Rhys said.
"Do you know a Captain Andrew Staines?" Lois said.
"No," Gwen said.
"A Colonel Michael Sanders," Lois said. "Ellen Hunt?"
"No," Gwen said.
"They're all dead, They were killed on the same day as Jack Harkness, I didn't sign the Official Secrets Act to cover up murder," Lois said. "But then I didn't take the job to commit treason on my second day, What am I doing here?"
"You tell me Lois," Gwen said.
"If you're the Bad guys why doesn't it say that on your file?" Lois said. "And if you're the good guys who am I working for and why do they want you dead,"
As We headed down there.
"Now Someone is asking the right questions," I said. Sitting down next to Gwen.
"Listen, This is a lot to talk about, And we're going to arouse suspicion, and we haven't ordered, When we went on the run, we didn't have any money, See," Rhys said.
"Here," I said passing him some.
"Thanks," Rhys said.
"I'll have steak pie and chips," Gwen said. "And a cup of tea,"
"Just a Latte for me," Lois said.
"Coffee, Black for us," Revan said.
"Took the words out of my mouth," I said.
"Ok I won't be a sec. I'll leave you to it," Rhys said.
"Everyone in the office seems to think what's happening with the kids is all to do with aliens," Lois said.
"And they will be here tomorrow," I said.
"And there's something big being built on the top floor of the MI5 building," Lois said.
"Ok, What do you mean something," Gwen said.
"I don't know," Lois said. "But it's let they are getting ready, and if you lot Torchwood, if you're the alien experts and they really are coming tomorrow, why does Mr. Frobisher want you out of the way of a sudden,"
"Because if the last message whatever it is sent. Not the one about them coming tomorrow. But the one that said they are coming back," I said.
"Meaning," Gwen said.
"Whatever it is, They have been here before, But the real question is when?" I said.
"And what were they doing here the last time," Revan said.
"That too," I said. "Can you tell me anything about Jack Harkness or Ianto Jones,"
"Jones is missing, I've been told Captain Harkness is dead," Lois said.
"Good luck keeping him dead," I said.
"Well that's what I thought, I overheard Mr. Frobisher say to keep him under surveillance Why do that to a dead person," Lois said.
"Do you know where they are holding him," I said.
"No," Lois said.
XXX
After a minute. Lois left. We took off towards the Tardis and got into it.
"So where is Jack," Gwen said.
"Got it. I tracked Frobisher's calls It's an old Military base," I said.
"How do we get inside," Gwen said.
"We need to know what they have done to Jack, Cause I can't take the Tardis in at him. But Frobisher's has authorised the release of a body from Ashton Down, Rupesh Patanjali, Must have thought he was one of us," I said.
"What's the undertakers name," Gwen said.
"Richard Rossiter," I said. "Time to pick him up is at 5.30 today,"
"We get to him, We can get in," Gwen said.
"Good thing is I just set the coordinates," I said.
"Then last go," Gwen said.
"Hold on this is a box and Bigger on the inside," Rhys said.
"And this part gets bumpy," I said Pulling the Handbrake taking us off.
"Wow, You weren't kidding," Rhys said.
"Who is the contact," Gwen said.
"Corporal Camara," I said. "We are coming up on the drop now," As we landed.
"Go, I'm going to get the Tardis out of here then, meet up with you once you get him out," I said.
"Good Idea last thing we need is for them to know about this," Gwen said. As Gwen and Rhys left. As I moved the Tardis.
It was 5 which means they was just going in. Then From hacking a sate. I saw a forklift going in a wall. And pulled something out and moving to a drop. Then I knew. It was Ianto. So I went and Landed next to the drop point, a couple of meters away.
Then Got out as Ianto, Gwen and Rhys got here.
"You 3 good," I said.
"Yes," Gwen said.
"Am Now," Rhys said.
"Great," Ianto said.
As Jack finally got out of the rubble.
"You okay," I said.
"I'm now," Jack said. "Told you I'd be back,"
"With a little help from us," Ianto said.
"What the hell is going on?" Jack said.
"Whatever it is doing this, It's happening Tomorrow," I said. As I used my sonic to get those cuffs off him.
"Just in time then," Jack said.
"Tardis now," I said.
As we got in and Jack headed for the wardrobe.
"Where is he going," Rhys said.
"Wardrobe," I said. As I got us away from there after Ianto go in.
XXX
Once Jack got back. We headed for an old Torchwood Warehouse which was used by Torchwood 1. Canary Wharf.
"This is us," Ianto said. "This is Torchwood, This is home,"
As we got setup as Rhys lit something.
"Whoa, Almost lost my eyebrows," Rhys said. "Still I'm good for something see, Old boy scout,"
"I'm freezing," Gwen said.
"Is anyone gonna see us in here?" Rhys said. "With all this firelighting stuff?"
"It was abandoned in the 90's used to be Torchwood holding facility, Torchwood 1," Ianto said.
"Been rusting away for years," Jack said.
"So what do we do," Gwen said. "Just sit here,"
"Worse than that, Harry, Seriously are these clothes to best you had," Jack said. "Like Come on,"
"Shut up Jack, It's better than seeing you naked," I said.
"And whatever it is are arriving today, that alien voice thing said today and we're stuck in the back end of beyond," Revan said.
"Yeah, But we're together. The old team," Jack said. "We're down. But not out, yeah, We've survived worse than this,"
"Yeah," Gwen said.
"Besides I don't know how much fighting you should do, in your condition," Jack said.
"What does that mean," Rhyd said.
"Christ Jack," I said.
"They know you're pregnant?" Rhys said. "You told them before me, didn't you,"
"Rhys, They happened to be there and it happened really fast," Gwen said.
"Last to know, Last to bloody know thank you very much," Rhys said.
"Don't be stupid man, Hey don't be so, Couldn't you just keep it shut," Gwen said.
"All together," Ianto said. "The old team,"
As Gwen finally got Rhys back we started to figure out what we can do.
"So we've got, Guns, Ok, and a pen knife, Laptop, Now dead, Credit cards and phone which they can trace, Lemsip. Book of stamps, Pair of contact lenses and £15," Jack said.
"Plus 25p, With some bloody alien thing turning up today," Gwen said.
"We've got some Torchwood software, We've lost the Hub. But the software still exists on the server," Ianto said. "But we're gonna need some more equipment and electricity,"
"And how are we going to managed that, Hidden away like Criminals," Rhys said.
"Not Revan and I, We can got out get the Technology we need, And we can use the Tardis to power it," I said.
"Harry's right we can use the Tardis for power. But We also need money too," Jack said.
"Leave that to me also," I said.
"Not quite, That's brilliant, Criminals thieves. Us. Well, they're treating us like criminals, Let's be criminals, Listen, I trained with the Police. I know every trick in the book. I've seen the lot, Come on, boys, You're gonna learn some tricks," Gwen said.
As Revan and I left. We managed to get to a store. Where I brought some burns. Aka Pay as you go Phones. 3 Laptops. As we got them without a problem. Then we went and I used my sonic on the ATM without looking at it getting all the cash from it. And did it another 3 times in random spots. Then We headed back to the Warehouse and Jack got the laptops and started to get everything ready. Then logged on and got the power back online for the warehouse. "Let there be light," As they came online.
"Oh yes, Britain's most wanted," Gwen said.
"Hey how about that," Rhys said. With HUB 2 on the walls.
"Guess that makes you an official member of the team," Jack said.
"You can stick it, Mate, Get on those computers, and get me home, Yeah," Rhys said.
"I see we've got a new car outside," Ianto said. "Nice very smart,"
"Where've you been? We thought you'd got arrested," I said.
"Just buying essentials," Ianto said. "Technology's one thing, But let's not forget the creature comforts, Coffee, Obviously, Got some do da,"
"Thank god," Gwen said.
"And more importantly, I didn't know your exact sized but I reckon I've got a good eye," Ianto said.
"Oh brilliant, I am stinking," Gwen said.
"I wasn't complaining," I said.
"Nice one," Rhys said.
"Shut it you," Gwen said to me.
"Okay just saying," I said.
"And for you sir, Army surplus special," Ianto said.
"Oh you are kidding me," Jack said. As Jack went and came back in the old style clothes he used to us. "I'm Back,"
"Not quite," I said. Get his Vortex out and passed it to him. "Now your are back,"
As Jack put his vortex back on.
As we started to get to work.
Then I got onto the laptop and got the Torchwood server software back. "Torchwood is back," I said.
"We're in," Jack said.
"Just like the old days," Ianto said.
"I'll patch into the news channels see what's happening," Gwen said.
"Black no sugar, Yeah," Rhys said.
"That's the one," Jack said.
"No sign of anything. Empty Skies, and the Tardis sensors haven't picked up any ships on approach to Earth," I said.
"Right, What are we looking for," Ianto said.
"Run a check on that Clement MacDonald," Gwen said.
"And those names. Lois said. Captain Andrew Staines, Ellen hunt. Michael Sanders. All assassinated the same time, They tired to kill Jack," I said. "Those names mean anything to you,"
"No nothing," Jack said.
"We need to get inside Whitehall," Gwen said. "Have you got the I5 software, Ianto,"
"Yeah, It's still on the site, why," Ianto said.
"Download it onto the laptop, Cos these are not just contact lenses, These are Torchwood Contact lenses," Gwen said.
"But what do we use them for? Who's gonna wear them?" Ianto said.
"Well there's only one person still talking to us," I said.
Then Gwen left.
After a bit Gwen came back.
"Well?" I said.
"Guess we will find out," Gwen said.
"Frobisher's the key to this, He's just a civil servant, He's nothing," Jack said. "What makes him start authorising executions?"
"So what is MacDonald's story?" I said.
"Well according to Gwen, It was your classic Alien abduction as a kid," Ianto said. "1965, He was living 10 miles outside Arbroath, The Holly Tree Lodge, it was an orphanage, I looked up the files, the kids were taken away in November 1965, The Lodge was closing down, they were being taken to a seconds care home called Harbour Heights, in Plymouth, Except that's where the records stopped, there's no trace of them arriving,"
"Then they never got there," I said.
"Show me those people," Jack said.
"What People," Ianto said.
"Andrew Staines, Ellen Hunt, Michael Sanders, The ones that were killed the same day as me," Jack said.
"Why?" Ianto said.
"Show us," I said.
"No give me their history show me them 40 years ago," Jack said.
"What for?" Ianto said.
"Just do it," Jack said.
As Ianto did. Then Jack left.
"What was that," Ianto said.
"Don't know," I said. As I went over to Revan.
"What was that?" Revan said.
"I got a feeling that Jack knows what happened to them," I said.
Then It happened again. "OW! It's fucking happening again, Ianto," I said.
"It's them all of them, the kids," Ianto said.
"What are they saying," Rhys said.
"I don't know just pointing," Ianto said.
"Here it's pointing somewhere here in London. MI5. Where they are building that thing." I said.
"It's us," Rhys said. "They're pointing at us,"
"Harry," Revan said.
"Harry's right, they're pointing at Thames House," Ianto said. "Come on," As we headed out as Revan was with me. As we got out we saw this Ball of Fire Coming own and into Thames House.
"Ow. Okay, They're saying that they are here," I said. As It stopped. Then I ran for the Tardis. But there was no signature. Not ship in orbit so how did they get here. As I headed out. "There is no ship in Orbit. And No idea where it came from,"

Eventually Gwen got back with MacDonald. As I was waiting for Jack to come back. As I headed out. As the car came back as Jack got out.
"We need to talk now," I said.
"Not Now," Jack said.
"Yes, Now. Jack. This has happening before hasn't it. Whatever these things are, Those kids 40 years ago, What happened to them Jack," I said.
"I," Jack said.
"Jack what happened to those kids," I said. "No," As I thought of something. "Why? Why would you give those kids to whatever these things are called,"
As I walked on in. As I saw Lois finally did it She put the lens in.
"He's got his back too us," Ianto said.
"Yeah, I can see that," Gwen said. "That's it, Come on Good girl,"
"It's not too bad, as least it's working," I said. "Tell her if can't hear what it's saying,"
As Lois written Yes. Then What's it doing.
"What, Is that what it said," Rhys said.
"No that's Lois saying that," I said. As Gwen said to her God Knows. "Ask her if we know what they are called,"
As Lois Written 456. Then Yes. Then Yes again.
As Frobisher was just talking. Then said. "I have been given a request for specific information, It has been asked. Why the 456 chose Great Britain as it chosen point of Embarkation,"
As Lois said. We came here. You have no significance, You are middle man.
"That's a lie cos, it's been here before that's why it's here now, why's it lying?" Gwen said.
"To keep other country of learning what has happened before," I said. "They're both hiding it. That thing and Frobisher,"
Then Lois written it wanted our children. We will take your children.
"What the hell for?" Rhys said.
As Jack finally got back.
Then Lois written your descendants. The offspring of the Human Race.
"How many," Frobisher said.
Then Lois written 10%. We want 10%. We want 10% if the children of this world.
"What's he talking about Jack," Gwen said.
"Clement MacDonald, Just another name, It was easier, If you didn't know the names," Jack said.
"You were there," Gwen said. "In 1965,"
"He was the man," Clem said.
"No, this is what he does, You see he fights them," Gwen said. "Isn't that right Jack,"
"No," Jack said.
"What," I said.
"I gave them the kids," Jack said. "1965, I gave them 12 children,"
"What for?" I said.
"As a gift," Jack said.
"For what," I said. "Jack what for?"
"You are in every nightmare I've ever had," Clem said.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I," Jack said as Clem grabbed Gwen's gun.
"Gwen," I said. As it was too late as Jack got shot. "Put it down. Now," But he didn't and I used my Phaser and shot the gun out of his hand.
Then after 2 minutes Jack came back.
As Clem Ran off and Gwen went after him.
"What was it for Jack," I said.
"The Antivirus. A Cure," Jack said. Then went over to Ianto.
"They're coming back," Rhys said.
As I headed for the Tardis. And went in.
XXX
It was sometime before I headed out as it happened again.
"Harry," Revan said.
"It's happening again," I said.
"What's it saying.
"325000," Clem said over and over again.
As I heard the same numbers. "That's exactly, What's that mean," I said.
"The Number's it 10% of each country population of Children," Ianto said.
"What do we do them?" I said.
"They're doing it again," Gwen said.
"We can't let this happen again," I said.
"We've got enough evidence recorded here to destroy every person in that room," Gwen said.
"And we can use it to force our way into Thames House, Finally get face to face with this thing," Jack said.
"And get your family released," Gwen said.
"Right, Everyone know what they're doing," Jack said.
"What if I can't get Lois to agree?" Gwen said.
"She hasn't let us down yet, Rhys, Ok," Jack said. As Jack and Ianto went. As I went for the Tardis. And called Fleur.
"Harry," Fleur said.
"Tell everyone right not, No matter what do not let any Government get close to Gabby," I said.
"Why? What are those numbers," Fleur said.
"10% of each Country. That was these things want Fleur," I said.
"What can you do," Fleur said.
"We are already trying to stop this, but there is a chance that we could fail here, Fleur, Tell everyone, and I mean everyone, Every single person you know, right now," I said.
"Okay. Harry, Good luck," Fleur said.
"You too, All of you, Tell them that," I said.
"Bye Harry," Fleur said.
"Bye Fleur," I said. Ending the call. Then Headed out. As Revan was there. "Get in,"
"Harry," Revan said.
"If something happens," I said.
"I will, Harry," Revan said as She got into the Tardis as I used my sonic to get it moving.
As I went over the Gwen and Clem.
"Take care," Gwen said. "They're there,"
"Let's do it," I said.
"We've been expecting you," Gwen said.
"On the floor," She said. "Face down, Hands on your head,"
"You traced Ianto's call, did you," I said.
"On the floor," She said.
"Now that you're here, You can take us to Alice and Steven Carter," I said.
"You'll be in the very next cell," She said. "Second thoughts, maybe I'll just have you shot while resisting arrest,"
"That would be a mistake," Gwen said.
"Why," She said.
"Look at what we've been recording," I said. "What she's telling them is, Gwen's Husband has recordings of them all secretly agreeing to sacrificing millions of Innocent Children to the aliens, Now him and his laptop at this very moment, Are in a secret location And he's ready to press send and tell the entire world exactly what's been going on unless you do exactly as we say,"
"Take a seat, maybe you'll learn something about the people you've been working for," Gwen said.
As I went and sat down at the Laptop.
"I'm Captain Jack Harkness, I've dealt with you lot before, I'm here to explain why this time you're not getting what you want,"
"You yielded in the past," It said.
"And don't I know it, I was there, In 1965, I was part of that trade, and that's why I'm never gonna let it happen again," Jack said,
"Explain," It said.
"There's a saying here on Earth, A very old and very wise friend of mine taught me it. That man is another friend of mine's father. An injury to one is an injury to all," Jack said. "And when people act according to that philosophy, The human race is the finest species in the universe,"
"Never min the philosophy, What he's saying is you're not getting one solitary, single child," Ianto said. "The deal is off,"
"Er I like the Philosophy," Jack said.
"I gathered," Ianto said.
"You yielded in the past," It said. "You will do so again,"
"In the past the numbers were so small they could be kept a secret, But this time that is not gonna happen, Because we've recorded everything, All the negotiations, everything the politicians said, Everything that happened in this room, And those tapes will be released to the public, Unless you leave this planet for good," Jack said.
"You yielded in the past," It said. "You will do so again,"
"When people find out the truth, You will have over 6 billion angry human beings taking up arms to fight you, That might be a fight you think you can win, But at the end of it, The human race in defence of it's children will fight to the death, And if I have to lead them into battle Then I will," Jack said.
"You've got enough information on this planet, Check your records, His name is Captain Jack Harkness," Ianto said. "Go back 150 years and see what you're facing, Then look out someone called The Doctor, Then you know what you are up against.
"This is fascinating, isn't it," It said.
"It knows I'm watching," Clem said.
"The Human infant mortality rate is 29158 deaths per day," It said. "Every 3 seconds a child dies, The human response is to accept and adapt,"
"We are adapting right now," Jack said. "And we're making this a war,"
"Then the fight begins," It said as my computer went mad.
"No," I said.
"What's wrong," Gwen said.
"It managed to get into the whole MI5 building network, Oh no, It's released a virus, Thames House just went into Lockdown. It's going to kill everyone in the building," I said.
"Can they override it?" Gwen said.
"Well," I said.
"I don't know," She said.
"Shit, I'll try breaking into the system locking it out and then the antivirus if it has one," I said. "Ianto, Jack get out of there," As I was trying to get it.
Then there was a noise and it was hurting Clem.
"Turn it off," I said. "Ianto, Jack get out of there now, Jack use your vortex now, Get out of there,"
"It killed him," Gwen said. As Clem was dead. "Any luck,"
"No," I said. "I can't get in. Whatever it's doing is locking me out. And they can't get out. There's nothing I can do Gwen. They going to die and I can't go anything,"
Gwen and I were at the Building where everyone was that was killed as we went over to Ianto and Jack. As Gwen moved the covers.
"I'm sorry, Ianto, I couldn't save you," I said.
"There's nothing we can do," Gwen said.
XXX
Jack, Gwen and I was outside.
"The Threat still stands," Gwen said.
"Aren't we past that?" Frobisher said.
"Wouldn't need to be if you didn't have Torchwood Bombed. At least then we could have used the Tech we have there to stop them, But No we're stuck with these shity fucking guns, And you have to make it bullet proof too," I said.
"My Husband is still out there," Gwen said. "With everything you've done recorded on his laptop, One word from me and he will release that information to the public,"
"What do you think Torchwood is now, D'you think you're still players," Frobisher said.
"We can try," Gwen said.
"We're at a tipping point right now," Frobisher said. "Civilisation is about to fall into hell, You want to start that descent a little earlier go ahead,"
"He's right," Jack said. "Look what happened, Phone Rhys, Tell him we've lost,"
"What about Lois," I said.
"I'm afraid Miss Babiba is in police custody," Frobisher said. "Charged with Espionage,"
"Then what about my daughter and her son?" Jack said.
"They're free to go," Frobisher said.
"Ianto Jones, He's got a family back in South Wales, A sister, Has she been told," Jack said.
"We're not releasing any of the names, not yet," Frobisher said.
"Then let Gwen Tell her," Jack said. "You said yourself the world is going to hell any second, Before it does, Give us a moment of grace, Just take Gwen home, Please, I can't look at her anymore, Take Harry to my Daughter,"
XXX
As They did that. As I was at the base with Jack's Daughter Alice and His Grandson Steven. As Johnson came over. As Steven was playing football with the others.
"It's started," Johnson said.
"Great," I said. "This entire world goes to shit instead of Bombing MI5 Killing that thing,"
"I also got news on Frobisher," Johnson said.
"What," I said.
"He is dead, Along with his Family Wife, 2 daughters," Johnson said.
"He killed them to save them. Then instead of having that guilt, He killed himself," I said.
"Looks like it," Johnson said.
"Screw this, Jack may say Torchwood is done. But I'm not, Even if it kills me. I'm ending this. Stay and help or get the fuck out of my way," I said. As I started moving.
"Okay, How," Johnson said.
"We need Jack and whoever was with him in Thames house, Here now," I said. "I need to get everything setup,"
"Come on," Johnson said as we got to the room where Computer were all there. "Think this will work better,"
"Yeah, Get them now," I said. As I got to work as Johnson left. I got the systems online.
"This should be everything you need and if it's not, we'll find it," Johnson said.
"For what," Jack said.
"Wavelengths," I said. "The 456 are named after a wavelength, that's gotta be the key to fighting back, I wasn't just going to stay by and do nothing,"
"You're wasting your time, There's nothing you can do, I've analysed those transmissions for 40 years and never broken them," As Johnson finally shot him in the leg.
"Thank you," I said.
"What d'you think Captain, She told me you were good, was she right," Johnson said.
"Let's get to work," Jack said.
"Torchwood software is back online," I said. "Log on to the servers and welcome back, Jack I send you the patch,"
"Got it," Jack said.
"It still won't work," He said. "There's nothing on there it's useless,"
"We've got technology way beyond you," Jack said.
"We hacked into Torchwood years ago, you idiot," He said.
"Shut up or take her gun and shot you in the other leg," I said.
"Dad, Come and have a look at this," Alice said. "It's some sort of pirate station Trying to get the story out to the public, but they're taking the kids,"
"Come on Jack time we stopped this," I said.
As we got back to work.
"If we can cycle the wavelength back at them," Jack said.
"I know what you're trying to do, A constructive wave, D'you think people aren't working on that all over the world, It's never gonna work," He said. "The effect would be like shouting at the 456, That's all, Just shouting,"
"Why did Clem die," Jack said.
"It was the 456, They killed him," Johnson said.
"Cause maybe the same affects them also," I said.
"Then That connection hurt them," Jack said.
"This is the 456 at the moment of his death," Johnson said. "We've lifted the sound from the Thames House link,"
"That sound Mr. Dekker what's that sound," Jack said.
"I don't know It's new," Dekker said.
"Exactly, It's new," I said. "Can we do it,"
"We don't have to analyse the wavelength just copy it turn it into a constructive wave," Jack said. "But we've got no way of transmitting,"
"Course you have," Dekker said.
"Shut up." Jack said.
"Same way as them," Dekker said.
"I'll find something else," Jack said.
"What does he mean?" Johnson said.
"Don't listen to him," Jack said.
"Dekker tell me," Johnson said.
"The 456 used children, To establish the resonance" Dekker said.
"Meaning what?" Johnson said.
"We need a kid," Dekker said.
"What d'you mean," Alice said.
"Centre of the resonance, Oh that Child's gonna fry," Dekker said.
"No Dad," Alice said. "No Tell them. No,"
"Use me," I said.
"What," Jack said.
"If I let it in it will work," I said.
"No," Jack said.
"Jack, it's the only thing we can do and you know it," I said.
"It could kill you," Jack said.
"50/50 chance I know, the odds, Jack. What other choice have you got cause I'm not going to let you do the only other option," I said.
"What option," Alice said.
"Steven or Me, Jack, Use me," I said. "Jack, I know, But It the only chance, There a chance I can survive this but he can't, I'll take that chance, Jack,"
Fine," Jack said. "Why?"
"If I survive I'll tell you," I said.
"Then Let's do it,, Harry on that now," Jack said as I saw a platform and went and stood on it. "Harry,"
"I know, Jack, If I don't make it, Tell them for me won't you," I said.
"I promise," Jack said.
As I took it off.
"Okay, it's down Jack, Do it," I said.
"Here we go," Jack said.
"Why?" Alice said.
"Because what is the other choice, I, and I can't let him make him make that choice," I said. "If I don't make it, Don't hate him for it, Let's go Jack, Let's save Earth,"
As it happened but everything went black.
But after 2 minutes later. I was lying down as I opened my eyes.
"Harry," Jack said.
"Did it work," I said.
"Yes, It's worked," Jack said.
"Man do I have a killer headache," I said. Sitting up. As Jack helped me up.
"Thanks, Harry," Jack said.
"Always," I said. As I saw cuts on the back of my hands and could feel them on my face.
"You are going to have some scars there," Jack said.
"Worth it," I said. As I rubbed my faced down.
"Harry," Jack said.
"What," I said as I looked again and saw the cut were gone and I couldn't feel any of my face either.
"What is that?" Jack said. "Is that,"
I could feel it, Starting. "It's started," I said.
"This is my fault," Jack said.
"Stop, I made that choice, The Choice I had to make," I said.
"But if I didn't do the deal the last time, This wouldn't of happened," Jack said.
"I knew this could happened one day, It's not your fault Jack," I said. "I need to do somethings. But this isn't the last time you see me," As I called my Tardis back which it was back at Mums so Revan was there as I went into my empty Tardis and flew off. First saving Luke. Don't look crossing the road. As He called Sarah Jane as she came out and saw me as I waved before getting into the Tardis. Flying off. To where I was going to land back home so I could tell the others when I went and called Martha which I knew now was me calling her.
"Hello," Martha said.
"Hey, Martha," I said.
"Harry, Where are you," Martha said.
"Still there with you, I'm calling from the future. a bit further in it. It won't be longer but I will see you soon. I promise. Just. Just, I'll tell you once I get there," I said.
"Harry, wait," Martha said.
"I love you Martha," I said.
As I ended the call and then went and landed near Mum's where I went out and up to the the flat where I went in. As Mum, Lily, Revan, Jenny and Martha was there. As they hugged me. I filled them in on what had happened. Then my arm went.
"Ow," I said.
"Harry," Mum said. "NO, What happened?" As She came over to me.
"What I had to do to stop them," I said.
"No," Mum said.
"I have to Mum you know it," I said.
"I only just got you back," Mum said.
"I know," I said.
"No," Martha said. "It's happening isn't it,"
"Yeah," I said. As Martha hugged me.
"That's why you called," Martha said.
"Yeah," I said.
"Harry," Martha said. "I,"
"I know, Me too," I said.
As Revan knew as did Jenny and Lily. As they all hugged me.
Then I moved back.
"I got one more stop, Before I let it," I said. "I'll come back. I'll be back,"
"Harry," Martha said. "I love you,"
"Love you too, Martha," I said.
As I headed out and into the Tardis as I found them But it had been 6 months since that day. As I landed and headed out Which wasn't that far as I found Jack, Gwen and Rhys. Where I sent Hedwig out with Letters for everyone.
"Couldn't have just chosen a pub, could you," Gwen said.
"It's bloody freezing," Rhys said. "My feet,"
"Oh, I've missed that the Welsh complaining," Jack said. "You look good,"
"I look huge," Gwen said.
"She's bloody gorgeous," Rhys said.
"You ok?" Gwen said.
"Yeah," Jack said.
"Did it work," Gwen said.
"Travelled all sorts of places, This planet is too small, The whole world is like a graveyard," Jack said.
"Come back with us," Gwen said.
"Haven't travelled far enough yet," Jack said. "Got a lot of dirt to shake off my shoes, And right now, There's a cold fusion, Cruiser surfing the Ion reefs just at the edge of the solar system, Just waiting to open its transport dock, I just need to send a signal,"
"Are you ever coming back Jack," Gwen said.
"What for," Jack said.
"Me," Gwen said. "It wasn't your fault,"
"It was," Jack said.
"No," Gwen said.
"Harry and Ianto, And Owen, And Tosh and Suzie and All of them because of me, I forced him to chance Gwen. ME," Jack said.
"No quite yet," I said.
"Harry," Gwen said. "You still,"
"Yeah, it's almost ready," I said.
"I made this happen," Jack said.
"No, You know, you know fine right I would have done that with or without you Jack," I said.
"But I'm making it happen," Jack said.
"It's was going to happen sometime. Even if that time is me doing that to save the world," I said.
"But," Jack said.
"Don't say if you didn't bring me into Torchwood, this wouldn't of happened cause it would have," I said.
"And Look what I became Harry, Still, I have lived so many lives, It's time to find another one," Jack said.
"They died, and I am sorry Jack but you cannot just run away," Gwen said.
"Yes I can, just watch me," Jack said beaming away.
"Harry," Gwen said.
"I'll be back, I'm coming back, I just look different," I said As I got to the Tardis and closed the door.
As I saw the glow starting.
As I left my gear sitting on the console.
"Come and find me Girl when I remember," I said. "Keep Mel safe for me, True I never got to see Dad, But there isn't time for that, I catch him when I come back,"
As the glow was getting bigger.
"Here we go First change. Let's see what comes next," I said as I let to out as I felt everything on fire till eventually, It all went back.
That's all for this story People.
The Prequel is complete now.
I will be starting to work on other stories again.
Stay tuned and Safe.
Love Y'all.
See you back on Heart of Energon.
PEACE!
