Chapter 1

After a brief superficial conversation, each group retreated to their own thoughts. Any questions about the specific circumstances of how they had ended up in their current predicaments had been met with guarded answers. Each group was obviously reluctant to reveal certain details. But it was understandable. They had met between prison cells.

The heavy silence was finally broken by the unmistakable sound of several men approaching from down the corridor. They opened Rose's cell door and unceremoniously shoved a familiar form to the ground at her feet.

"You don't have to be so rough," he called out after the retreating guards.

"Doctor! Are you alright?" Rose quickly asked.

He brushed off her concern, insisting he was fine. Then he began fishing around in his pockets for his sonic screwdriver. Mumbling thanks for the general stupidity of a certain alien race, he quickly got to work opening the cell door.

Intently watching the recent activity, Jack and Daniel were quite surprised to see their neighbor's cell door suddenly slide open. "Wait, how did you do that?" Daniel called out.

The man looked at them in confusion before turning to his companion. "Friends of yours?"

"Sort of. They did keep me company while you were gone."

"Think you can help us out here?" Jack interrupted. He certainly wasn't going to miss out on an obvious opportunity for escape.

The Doctor noticed the pleading looks spread across the faces of all three. "Fine. But no more boyfriends!" He added the last part while glaring at Rose.

"Of course. Wouldn't dream of it," Rose said while trying to maintain a straight face. She didn't exactly plan on repeating the whole Adam thing.

"I take it you're the Doctor?" Daniel asked after they had been released from their cell.

He received a distracted nod in response. The Doctor was once again fiddling with his strange device. It suddenly shot out a small beam of light.

"So it's a flashlight too?" Jack asked while trying to discretely get a better view of the device in the other man's hand. He definitely wanted to get his hands on one of those things.

"It's a sonic screwdriver," the Doctor replied, as if that explained everything. Then he turned and started down the hallway in the direction the guards had just disappeared, the small beam of light bobbing along in the darkness. The other three hurried to catch up.

They passed a few empty cells before arriving at a small room. A quick inspection revealed it to be deserted except for some familiar items. Jack and Daniel were more than thrilled to see their missing equipment. Deciding to travel light, they grabbed only their weapons and GDO's. Daniel was disappointed to leave his notes behind but he knew from experience that they were probably going to be making a mad dash for the gate. The group then continued down the darkened corridors. After a few wrong turns, the Doctor managed to guide them to the surface.

Rose squinted at the bright glare of the mid-afternoon sun. "Where do we go from here?"

"I think we should go that way," Jack and the Doctor replied in unison. But they were pointing in opposite directions.

"But the gate is that way," Jack said, referring to his selection.

"And the TARDIS is that way," the Doctor replied.

This was followed by a pause and then "What gate?" and "What's a TARDIS?" were uttered at the same time.

"Uh guys, I think we have a bigger problem," Daniel interrupted. He pointed to the group of Jaffa approaching from the right. Apparently the local Goa'uld had sent them to retrieve the prisoners.

"Run!" everyone yelled in unison. They sprinted away from their pursuers, which happened to be in the opposite direction from where the blue police box sat hidden in the woods.

Rose had little time to question why they were running towards a giant metal ring in the middle of the woods. But she knew that Jack and Daniel were desperate to reach it so it must mean safety of some sort. They had managed to gain a sizeable lead which was probably why they almost made it.

Daniel had punched some buttons on a pedestal and they were waiting for the Stargate to activate when the Jaffa started firing their weapons at them. They took cover behind the meager protection of the DHD. A few tense moments passed before Daniel received confirmation on the small device he had retrieved.

"We'll provide some cover fire," Jack instructed, "you just head for the gate."

"You mean the big vertical puddle?" Rose asked, mesmerized by the liquid appearance of the event horizon.

"A stargate," the Doctor mumbled, "I haven't seen one of these since…" The rest was drowned out the by the sound of automatic weapons fire.

"Go!" Jack yelled at them.

The Doctor grabbed Rose's hand and together they ran. They were almost there when Daniel yelled for them to get down. Rose then heard the Doctor cry out in pain and fall to the ground. She quickly knelt down to see what was wrong. That was when she felt the heat of a staff weapon blast pass just inches away from her head.

The next thing she knew, Jack and Daniel were lifting up the Doctor and carrying him towards the rippling blue wormhole. Jack used his free hand to shove Rose through first.

The rest passed in a blur for Rose. She was vaguely aware that she had just entered a military facility and that they were taking the Doctor to the infirmary. But her mind was still frozen in that moment. She had no idea how badly he was hurt.

And she realized the thought of losing him terrified her.
