Ryan shook his head as he headed towards the small tourist information office in Cardiff Bay. He knew Yaz and Graham liked and seemed to trust Gwen and Captain Jack but he was still not certain what had happened. They were alive, they had ended up in Cardiff and somehow they had to find the Doctor.

"So." Graham spoke first. "You knew the Doc?"

"Yeah." Jack nodded, "Back in the day. Travelled with Rose and the Doc. Great times. Now? Now I'm here. Running Torchwood." He ushered them into the Hub as Ianto called out that coffee was almost ready.

"Torchwood and UNIT were finished." Yaz spoke calmly as a pterodactyl screeched in the background.

"Don't tell Dr Martha Smith that." Jack answered. Gwen smiled as she thought of her friend. "UNIT lost a lot and I mean a lot of it's funding. We became the Government's dirty little secret." The distain in her voice was obvious as Yaz and Graham exchanged glances. Ianto appeared with a tray of coffee as Donna appeared.

"DONNA NOBEL!" Graham grabbed the red head as she laughed. "Your Wilf's girl!"

"You know my grandad?!"

"Yeah. Always thought his stories were a load of ole nonsense. But now I've met the Doctor meself."

"Right." Jack clapped his hands. "Reunion over. Let's get our Doctor back." He stepped towards a very large screen and began pressing touchscreen buttons. Gwen rolled her eyes.

"Any idea where Spaceboy might be?" Donna asked.

Graham shrugged. Yaz sighed.

"She. The Doctor is a woman."

"Regenerated." Jack yelled. "I heard."

"Well you never said!" Donna snapped at him. "When? Why?"

"Probably to stop himself dying? Timelord of Gallifrey. Change themselves molecule by molecule until they have a whole new body. Why wouldn't that body be female this time?" Ianto sat down as Graham shook his head. Ryan's mouth opened and closed silently. Yaz frowned.

"Do either of you know what they are going on about? Did you understand any of that?" She hissed as Gwen smiled slightly. Ryan looked blank as Graham nodded,

"A bit. She told me and Grace the day we first met. Didn't really take it all in if I'm honest." He sighed as Jack grabbed his great coat from the bannister he had dumped it over.

"Essex."

"My manner."

"Good." Jack nodded. "Because a TARDIS like vehicle is in the area. Only it's not the TARDIS so I'm guessing it's her. You guys wanna tell me about your Mr Barton?" He marched past them giving Yaz and the others no option but to follow.
