Warning: this does contain plot spoilers, so if you haven't seen the first episode of 'Torchwood', do not read on. Unless you still want to…
After watching the 'Doctor Who' spin-off 'Torchwood' I knew I had to write something. So, I have. What would Gwen have thought after she'd taken the job at Torchwood 3? I hope my fan fiction is a good answer.
As I have said many times before I don't own the rights to 'Doctor Who' or anything associated with it so, please, BBC, do not sue.
Torchwood 3: my new job
P.C. Gwen Cooper what have you just done? You are standing on top of the Millennium Centre in Cardiff with a man who you hardly know and who drugged you! You just signed up to a secret organisation that, well, catches aliens. You're now an alien catcher. I've thrown myself head first into the dark, I will never see the light of day again and yet, I want to go with him. A man who got shot and survived, was killed and yet lives, whose favourite meeting place seems to be on top of very tall buildings.
I
wonder if he's alien too. I wonder who this 'Doctor' is that he
so desperately wants to find. I wonder if he is the man who
disappeared over sixty years ago. If he is he sure has some
explaining to do. He looks, sounds and acts human enough. Then again
I was convinced that an alien with a hideous head and vicious teeth
was a man in a mask. So I guess anything is possible now.
How
on Earth am I going to explain this to everyone? If it beyond
classified my boyfriend can hardly say 'oh, so how was work' and
I can hardly reply, 'oh it was great, we caught this huge alien
thing, it was trying to take over Cardiff'. I don't see it, a)
being believed, or b) me being able to say it. I can see this not
working. She said the job consumes you. You have to surrender
yourself to it. That's a warning and a half.
Rifts in time and space, resurrection gloves, invisible lifts, Weevils, I got to get used to all this. I don't see it, yet I want to stick with it.
I'll just have to see what tomorrow brings.
