Chapter Two
Owen' Family Tree
I held Jasmine a while longer, then helped her to her feet before taking every detail of her in. She's a tall woman, 5'11, you'd believe her to be in her late twenties if you saw her but she is in fact older than me, she has brown hair and blue eyes so deep you could get lost in them. Her expression is an unusual one, you would think her hard and uncaring but she is quite the opposite. Sometimes when certain people endure a lot of heartache and loss it becomes etched into their very being for the world to see until the only place you'll find the real them is within.
I'll admit I used my powers to win her over...I read minds and I can stop my own from being read, Owen had the same ability, we're not aloud to use it for it attracts the wrong attention.
"I never thought I'd see you again" I said
"Going by your black book that much was very clear" She said,
I went red, I had shamed my High Priestess,
"I...I'm sorry" I stammered, and truly I was, then she dragged me down to hide behind a T Chest as we heard movement in the corridor outside, she smiled at me, "Chris..."
"He's not who he says he is but you do have a reason to fear him, Jack, I know and so does dad, he's" The sound of an alarm blaring for a few seconds drowned out her swearing and made me jump out of my skin, "It was Samuel"
Samuel...my heart stopped. Many years ago The Emperor defied the High Court and his judge Partifimind to destroy and hide the Dark Empire under a cloaked spell his human created. Samuel, a Time Lord child, was taken by Floored and used to revive the Dark Empire. He had many followers and one of them was my Uncle.
"Jasmine...what have you seen?" I asked
"Later, there are four poles on the roof, connected to an energy orb that's now feeding off the rift. It's what really gave the T14' their strength, you need to shut it down and reverse the damage to the rift, you need to shut the rift down, I'll go and help Owen. Once you've shut that orb down we'll have 5 minutes before the building blows itself apart"
With that Jasmine was gone,
I composed myself and ran up to the roof.
Jasmine skipped down a set of stairs, pushed a T14 over the rail to the entrance hall 10 floors below and then grinned at Owen, who looked up in shock before kocking out another T14, taking his sword and shoving him into a wall,
"Having fun there Owen?" Jasmine asked him
"What do you think High Priestess?" Owen grinned, giving her the spare sword, "Don't know which way Gwen went, your brother' around here somewhere too. You go left, I'll go right and we'll meet by the front door" He added,
They hi-fived each other and walked off in different directions,
I was making progress until I got to the last pole, as I shut it down, the readings I had told me it would take a minute or two to mend everything the rift had broken and weaken the T14'. As I turned around I was punched in the face by Chris,
"You couldn't leave it alone, could you?" He said calmly
"What is your problem!?" I yelled
"How's Owen Harper these days? Or should that be the late Owen Harper...no, no how about the late Owen" Then he stopped, "I have his certificates...both of them"
He proved it,
"No, how did you get hold of them?" I asked, "What do you want from me?"
"£100,000 and I burn them right now" He said
"Why're you doing this!?" I snapped
"You haven''t done your research? How disappointing" A alarm blared, "Oh, we're out of time"
"Wait! I'll get you the money just give me some time!" I called as he turned to walk away
"I'll call you later with a time and place"
Meanwhile Owen had caught up with Daisy, who he'd found cowering in a corridor on the ground floor and Jasmine, force field now in overdrive could not distinguish between friend and foe and sent Liam flying back and into a wall, rendering him unconscious.
Crystal appeared beside him from a corridor on his right and stared down at him,
"'low that"
Daisy saw Liam, grabbed a brick and knocked Jasmine out cold, just as I got to the entrance of the building,
"That's my wife!" I yelled at Daisy as Owen ran to check her over,
"I...I didn't realise! She attacked Liam" Daisy said, full of shame
"Go to Liam!" I yelled, then to Owen I said, "Owen, she gonna be OK?"
"Last time she was knocked out she didn't come round for a month" He told me casually before picking her up
"A month!" I screeched,
How I don't know but we all got out of there and as the Torchwood car sped around the corner the building blew up.
In a car just around the corner sat Chris,
The Emperor appeared next to him,
"You're letting your grief get in the way, Patrick' case has been taken over by ACID, they're going to call it in as a road side bomb" The Emperor told him
Chris broke down,
"We can't put this on a 19 year old boy" He said
"Putting Jack through the ringer won't bring him round to helping you blast Ryan off this planet without starting a new Time War. His slaves have already dessimated Galaxy 0.01" The Emperor told him,
"So what do you want me to do? His uncle just killed my son and T5H' Master Pole wants Owen' life force to become ruling monach of a planet that used to be ours, I'm trying to protect him and Adrian" Chris said
"Have you heard anything more about Morgan' case?"
"The son of the one Owen believes fathered him? Yes, he thinks authorities don't believe he was abducted, he's been trying to find Owen...looks like his brother may have the perfected Questophiam gene" Chris said
"In that case, hand over the rights of the file to Torchwood and cover yourself with UNIT...one thing though, seen as you're a future me, I'd like to know, what did you think £100,000 would achieve?" The Emperor asked
"That was a little out of line I suppose" Chris admitted, "But if he pays it..."
Gwen, first one in following their departure from the T14 base, was livid by the state she found the hub in,
There were spatters of blue blood all over the place, smashed computers and lights and water dripping through cracks in the walls.
In the centre of the lower central hub was the male T14, stood over the female T14, whom he knocked out with a plank of wood and then roared,
The vibrations of the sound blew out all the other windows, showering Gwen, Daisy, Crystal, Jack and Jasmine with glass,
"Alright!" I cried
"She didn't believe me, she wouldn't stop attacking me...after everything that man put her through how could she still believe you to be the bad guys?" The male T14 said in question
I looked at Jasmine, still in Owen' arms,
Daisy looked at me,
"Owen, get Jasmine into recovery and Daisy...clean up this mess" I added with a look of distain her way
"I didn't know!" She snapped
I ignored her and followed Owen into recovery, kicking the door shut as I did so but my anger was being misdirected. For someone to have done what they did and not ended up dead they had to have been from Galafray or Gallifrey.
"I'll help" Crystal offered,
"The hell you will!" I yelled
"Ears like a bat that one" Crystal said
Daisy laughed, as did Gwen,
"Why did you take Liam to hospital?" Daisy asked
"So his family could go and see him, we don't want them wondering around this place now do we?" Gwen told her
Owen used high tech alien medical detectors to scan Jasmine for a full list of injuries,
"Her eyes are responding to light Jack, she's alive. I can mend her bones and even the bruises but not the burns. I detected 4 Time Lords in that building" Owen told me, my heart skipped, "Well Time Lord DNA anyway, can only mean one thing, Torchwood 1 exposed him to it, you were in the TARDIS, Jasmine is a Time Lord and I spent time in Spirigal, I flew a TARDIS, you know some of these devices are human made, they can get mixed up"
"You're right...the whole Torchwood 1 theory, it makes sense. How long do you think she'll be unconscious for?" I asked heartrate returning to a more reasonable pace,
"It's impossible to say...but if her dad shows up he is going to be..." Owen said, his profanity being drowned out by the hissing of the broken pipes outside,
I glared at Daisy on my way out of the room and then I sighed,
"I'm sorry" Daisy said, "The female T14 is in a cell, the male T14 was watching her"
I nodded,
"Forget about earlier, you didn't tie her up" I said, then I looked at Gwen, "So, how are we going to play this?"
"This is my institute now" Gwen said, I saw a flash in Owen' eyes and prayed no one else noticed, "I set it up again, you wanted nothing to do with it, I concede that I should have listened to you and will do so in future..."
"Wow" I said, "Thanks"
"I propose that we start from scratch, you don't own me, I don't own you; we're two friends sharing the same space and working towards a comon purpose" Gwen said
"Two things wrong with that statement" I said, smiling through the anger, "You may own this building but Torchwood is mine wherever I am in the universe and I don't recall us ever being "Friends""
Later that afternoon a subduded Crystal came to find me in the cell with the female T14,
"Stay back" I said to Crystal, a protective arm out to my right, then to the female T14 I said, "Let's try that again, yes Torchwood 1 used your...whatever the hell he was to you, but we as a seperate arm to the same corporation do not agree with that behaviour, it's not something we would have done ourselves, I'm willing to let you go home with a tracker"
"My entire family is dead because of you" She growled
"If you hadn't knocked seven bells out of my staff and wasted your time knocking seven bells out of your brother we could have stopped your...whatever the hell he was to you, reversed the damage to the rift and got everyone out safely. Not only that but my wife wouldn't be unsconsious right now. They weren't scentient anymore they were killers, here on this planet, anything that poses a threat to the beings that inhabit is put down" I told her
"Why would I need a tracker? If I gave you my word, why would you not trust it?" The famale T14 asked
Crystal shivered behind me as the female T14 stood taller than either of us,
"Your body language and your words need to be on par and right now they are not" I told her
"Uh...Jack, I'll be off now" Crystal said as we backed out of the cell and locked it again, "Can't she break the glass?" I shushed her, "Adrian' out of reach so I'll be around for a while"
"Adrian has a ship?" I asked in surprise
"No, they won't give him a new one but he doesn't like the TARDIS as it is right now, he says it's void of a soul and the one in it's place was put there to cause trouble, he said though the one's he's met so far aren't unfriendly the TARDIS itself has been" Crystal told me
"Wow" I exclaimed, "How many of them has he met?"
"He didn't say, he watched the woman from a distance and listened to her words, he said there was a love for him and for all of you that travelled with her in her voice"
"Hmm, The Doctor never really loved me" I said sadly
"Two of them did, very much so" She told me...would I ever know which two? "Hey d...don't worry about your wife if she dies again The Emepror will bring her back again, you'll need her assistance when Adrian gets here"
"What's your name?" I asked her with a smile
"I can't say, just call me Oracle"
"Why're you here Oracle?" I asked
"I came to see my parents"
"Did you see them?" I asked
Crystal just hugged me, I hugged her back and watched her leave, a strange sense of love in my heart, the kind I'd only ever felt for Owen.
"Crystal"
I screamed in fright and turned around, it was Owen,
"What?" I asked
"The glass it's Waterford Crystal she's not getting out"
"Right" I said
I picked up the phone as it rang, on re-entering the lower central hub, chastising myself for cheerfully announcing who we were,
"Torchwood!" Owen giggled. This shocked me more than the person on the end of the line...it was a panicked Liam, asking for me to come round to his house to see him while his mother was out. That it was about Gwen, "I'm actually waiting on a call but I can send Owen round"
"Perfect" Liam said and that was the end of that,
I looked at Owen, tears welling,
"You laughed"
Owen smiled,
"You're hearing things" He said
"You laughed" I smiled, then I hugged him, "You laughed"
"Who was that?" Owen asked, ignoring my hysteria
"Oh, that was Liam...he wants to see us" I told him
Intrigued, Owen got the address off of Gwen and drove to Liam' address. He couldn't believe the size of the place when he pulled up to the drive,
"He's doing alright for himself" Owen said as he got out and rang the doorbell,
Liam opened on the second ring of the bell, he looked shocking,
"Owen right?" He said
"Doctor, Owen Harper" Owen said
Liam took Owen through to a large white living room right of the front door,
"I'm sorry I threatened you and Jack" He said offering one of two large arm chairs,
"Look mate, there's not need to kiss my backside" Owen said
"Im not" Liam insisted,
Owen just grinned and nodded a "Yeah right" as they sat down,
"So why'd you join Torchwood?"
"Ever since I was a child, I've had two shadows" Liam began, this had Owen' attention, "The same man has appeared to me in different capacities, throughout my life, saved me, chastised me, read to me, calmed me, guided me and mum has never dismissed him...one day she looked at me and said, "I can't see him anymore son" and then the next minute she had no notion of our conversation, she changes when he's around"
"Have you any photos of him?" Owen asked
"Just one, in a reflection" Liam said showing Owen his mobile, "That's my old job, the cleaner died in a fire in my manager' office, only he was a lizard and the cleaner was Gwen' hubby. I saw her a week later, crying because her phone was broken, the last photos she'd taken of him were on it, as I fixed it for her this man came to me once more and whispered, "Torchwood" in my ear. We got talking, she said she needed a tech expert for her new orginisation, Torchwood had been brought down and she was rebuilding it. The building came fully equipt but she didn't seem to be able to see it"
"Right" Owen said, trying to get his head around everything, "You said you don't trust Gwen"
"She's not who she says she is...have you read the MD file? I know what you are, she was spotted breaking into computers to locate you, to see if you're heart had started beating again"
"She was asked by a man in a long coat to kill me, but she didn't have it in her, then Martha arrived, we had this whole thing with a research base, medical trials, I went in to rescue her and...then Jack revived me, there was always something not quite right about our relationship from then on, she's harmless now and she likes Torchwood so..." Owen said
"What if things change for you? There must be a way you can get her out" Liam said
Meanwhile, I sat at the desk in Gwen' office, reading files when Daisy came in and shut the door behind her. I looked up,
"Uncle...don't you know me anymore?" She asked
I dropped the file in my hand and stood up,
"Desire! You're Desire?!" I exclaimed
"Guilty, dad turned me into a human before he left me here" Daisy told me, "Best you stick with Daisy"
I laughed and hugged her,
"How is Rupert? Where is he?" I asked
"I was hoping you'd be able to tell me" She said sadly, "That's why I blagged a job here, to find you"
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen him in years" I told her, "You can't go now, what are you here under the pretence of?" I asked
"Medic" She told me
"You don't know the first thing about alien medics" I said alarmed
"I don't need to my patients are already dead" Dasiy said, I laughed like I hadn't laughed in a long time, "Is the Owen here...Owen, Owen?"
"Yeah, he doesn't know" I told her, smiling sadly
"Wow, I used to beat him up in the playground" Daisy said
I laughed again,
"He's changed a bit"
"Can you reverse this human spell?" She asked me
"Ah...you'd need Vera for that but she can't remember who she is"
"What about TARDIS?" Daisy asked,
"If she has a human guise, chances are she hadn't a clue what she is either"
Daisy sighed in frustration.
As Owen filled me in on his meeting with Liam, I struck a deal with the female T14, she'd leave quietly if we kept the male T14. Owen agreed to lock him away but once she was gone he let him out again and had him become the new Torchwood pet.
Chris called with a meeting place. Owen was there when Chris called and insisted on going with me. It wouldn't be till midnight however so while I sat on the next bed along from Jasmine, watching her, Owen invited Daisy and themselves to Gwen' planned drink with Andy.
Owen had a brief exchange with Andy while Gwen and Daisy went up to the bar,
"What do you want me to do?" Andy asked
"I want you to get her a new job away from Torchwood, it has to be something she has an interest in, when you have it let me know and I'll pay off what's left owed on your house" Owen said,
"I pull this off I want my own team at head office" Andy told him
"Done" Owen said
Andy was about to tell Owen something when Gwen and Daisy returned,
"You sure you don't want anything to drink?" Daisy asked
"I only wanted to play pool" Owen lied
To Owen' surprise he had a fun evening with Daisy, he felt like he'd kown her his whole life,
"Bet you were a right terror at school" He grinned
"Oh I was shocking, what was school like for you?" Daisy asked
"Uh...school wasn't the problem, leave it at that"
When you know what I know, Owen makes perfect sense.
While Owen was bonding with his cousin Andy was sussing out Gwen,
"So listen, I may know of an oportunity to work with UNIT" He said
"Really?" Gwen send in surprise, "How would you get that kind of information?"
"Well some man named; Pole, has been involving Chris' senior team on a shed load of cases recently and I heard them say the head of underwater creatures there in Cambridge HQ died in mysterious circomstances, they need a replacement. UNIT hates Torcwood, everyone knows that but if you own one and work for the other you have total control, you used to work there didn't you?" Andy bluffed
"Yeah...don't tell Owen that though, he'd freak out. Alright I'll concider it, you're really quite useful you know that? Don't know why I never noticed until now"
You bitch...he thought.
At around 11:40pm once Gwen and Daisy went on to a club in Cardiff Andy had his chance,
"No matter what I do for her I'm just a PC"
"I'm sorry Andy" Owen said sensitively
"I may have slipped up a little" He presented Owen with a black file, "This case has gone on for years. It involves The Emperor, that man in the file. So, he needs you sometime in the future right, Jack is sent in to protect you, this man turns up and tells Gwen to kill you, she bottles out but you still got shot, so she was let off the hook because as far as the Dark Empire knew or their followers you were dead. When Torchwood was destroyed she jumped ship to UNIT...a not so squeaky clean UNIT, Jack returns, the Lavender Mob turn up and thanks to Gwen FBI gets destroyed. There's still hope for you Owen but The Emperor has a grudge against Gwen now. He needs to keep you safe and he wants revenge. Vera works for FBI, she was in the building when it blew up. He dug up her soul from the ground on Galafray and used it to revive her. She can't remember a thing" Owen was stunned, "Your request, I told Gwen there was an oportunity for her to go back to UNIT, the head of underwater creatures died in mysterious circomstances"
"What kind of mysterious circomstances?" Owen asked
"That's the problem, he's not dead" Andy told him
"Don't even worry about it, I'll sort it" Owen said,
"You're not going to kill him too are you Owen?" Andy asked darkly
"What do you think I am Andy?" Owen said
"Take this case from my hands now Owen" Andy said
Owen stared at him for a minute,
"If The Emperor is involved you know I can't do that"
Andy left and Owen joined me and we met Chris by the old dockyard, overlooked by Owen' apartment block. He came out of the fog and handed us a file,
"What is this?" I asked
"Morgan Harper. He and his father Denis were abducted, Denis was working with a group, who invented a virus called Questophiam. Owen knows this virus well from his days on Spirigal, don't question my knowledge just listen. If perfected it masks itself in the form of BSE"
"Mad Cow Disease" Owen said with a nod,
"Morgan' brother has Mad Cow Disease...or the perfected virus, Morgan has been looking for you because his father uttered your name before he was released. There are now 7 cases of BSE in his area, Summerset"
"Why the change of heart?" I said, untrusting
"Owen travelled with the only ones, who know the cure and can create a test to single out the difference between the two viruses, take the case, don't take the case...this conversation never happened" Chris said and with that he was gone
Owen and I stared at each other in constination,
"What're we going to do?" Owen asked
"We can't do anything until Jasmine wakes up, you go home" I told him
Owen got a surprise when he got back to the apartment, Daisy was sitting on his doorstep,
"Daisy?" He asked, bending down to comfort her, she was clearly upset about something
"Don't touch me!" She screeched, standing up fast, "You know, I thought it odd when you wouldn't drink or eat all night but I was going to let that slide, then I met your old boss at Cardiff Hospital, he told me you were shot dead in 2007 but you're standing here in front of me, right now!"
"Dasiy, it's complicated alright, just come inside and I'll explain everything, we stand out here much longer the neighbours are going to cart you off in a wheel barrow" Owen told her,
"I think I have the right to know if I'm working for the walking dead" Daisy said
"With, I know your Jack' neice, your working with the walking dead, please, come in, let me explain" Owen said
Meanwhile, I received a visitor...I had comendeered a bedroom from the unused apartment upstairs, it overlooked the cute little bay walk. I'd just made myself a cup of coffee and was coming walking back into the lower central hub when standing before me was The Emperor.
I dropped my cup and it shattered on the floor,
"Evening Claw" He said smoothly,
"Emperor" I said with a bow,
"How's my daughter?" He asked
"She's resting" I lied
"Deeply. In fact I'd go as far as to say she was comatose, I know because I've just been in there" He said
"Oh boy" I said to myself, "Let's just get this over with, I used my 3 hours to give Owen a transfusion on MD, Jasmine and I married in 1941, she died on our wedding night, killed by Torchwood, invented because of The Doctor, who thought she was dead when she wasn't, we had a child, a daughter, who we gave up and I'm mortal now, not my fault, I was cotrolled by Samuel, who's still being controlled by..."
The Emperor slid a needle into my heart and injected the antidote to make me immortal again, into my veins, it took my breath away,
"Shut up Claw" The Emperor said
"Yes sir" I replied
"I'll get the antidote ready for the reversal of the questophiam, I sent Jasmine back to help you train Adrian, he will come, as far as Owen is concerned Morgan and he are brothers"
"So you see...I don't know why he did it, I didn't feel a thing at first but slowly I rediscovered uses and, I don't feel as dead these days" Owen told Daisy
"Funny you should say that" Daisy said, "Jack' blood has some strange powers"
"What're you talking about?" Owen asked
"The transfusion he gave you" Daisy said
"What transfusion?" Owen asked, it was at this moment I interupted with the call about Emperor, "Yeah?"
"Emepror is here, he has the antidote for your brother, we're ready to go" I told him
Owen looked at Daisy,
"Was he trying to...bring me back to life?"
Daisy smiled and Owen nodded, smiling also
"Owen" Daisy said as Owen was about to leave, "Don't tell Liam I like him...300 years is a bit of an age gap" Owen laughed, "Anyone ever come close to...you Iin life?" Daisy asked
"Yeah, Tosh...I agreed to go out with her the night I got shot, I never plucked up the courage to tell her I loved her too before she died" Owen said sadly, and with that and a nod at her expression he left.
Morgan was stunned when he opened the door to Owen and I, thanks to The Emperor we were able to warp there, we couldn't waste anymore time,
"Owen!" Morgan exclaimed
"Hold still as second" Owen said as he scanned him with alien tech, "He's fine, where's your brother?"
"Neil' at the children' infirmary in town, they say he has BSE but I know he doesn't I was there when dad put the needle in the roof of his mouth" Morgan said
"So that's how they perfected it" Owen said; Morgan leading the way Owen and I were taken to the infirmary where Owen immediately got to work on giving Neil the antidote, much to the protest of other nurses until Neil started responding, "He'll be out of here in a day or two"
"What...?" The nurse began,
"He was injected with something" Owen said showing her the mark, "I'm a Doctor in Bay Walk Wales, we had a few cases, FBI have a file base here in the UK, they presented us with the details for the infected in this area, if the other patients have this mark you'll need that stuff there" Owen said pointed at the antidote dripping in through Neil' arm now,
"What's in it?"
"It's a vacine used on cattle normally, but it reverses the effects of the chemicals his father injected into him, we're doing all we can to locate this man before he kills anyone" I lied
"What's in that stuff really?" Morgan asked once the nurse had left, then to Owen as Owen took blood from him he added, "You said I was OK"
"You are, I just need your DNA for our computer system, I want you to come down to Wales sometime and see us, our hub is hi tech, if I add you, you won't set off a million alarms and put us in lock down" Owen Lied convincingly,
"Oh" Morgan said
We left shortly after and I fell asleep on the sofa, Owen stayed by my side and watched me,
"Why do you care so much about me?" Owen asked me,
I pushed his head to the side,
"Shut up and go home" I told him before opening my eyes, "What're you talking about anyway?"
"You know what you did" He said
"I do a lot of things" I told him,
"Can I tell you something?"
"Anything" I said
"Nah forget it, it can wait" Owen said and with that he got up, "Thank you"
"What for?" I asked baffled
"You know what for" And with that he left
I can't read Owen' mind because he's not alive. I waited for a while, just to make sure Owen had gone before sneeking up to the lab and taking Morgan' blood, I poured it out into the sink and washed it out, I then stared at it for a while until a shadow appeared behind me,
I dropped the vile, cracking it off the wall of the porcelain sink and turned around, terrified...but to my surprise it was the 11th Doctor,
"I can't let Owen find out I'm his father! Weather he digs into this or not I don't need you of all people judging me!" I snapped, tears welling
"I'm here to help Jack" He said, "I know why it's so important, I was in the area...fill the vile and I'll use the sonic to alter it from father to brother, Owen will never know"
"I can't sense 10 on you" I said
"I asked The Emperor to give me a seperate existance away from him and the next, but there was a cost, I'll look like a ghost to anyone not you, Jasmine or Adrian and he says he has a task for me but he hasn't told me what that task entails. I do have another TARDIS however, it's directly linked to my old one so I can interact with compaions of all the Doctors if I need to, might come in handy one day" Doctor 11 told me.
I laughed and hugged him, then cried in his arms,
"You...it was you"
Doctor 11 grinned,
"No idea what you're talking about Jack but if I get a hug out of it, it must be something good"
I just continued to laugh and cry in his arms until my fears left me.
We went down to see Jasmine and sat on the bed next to her, drinking hot choclate and toasting marshmellows on a virtual fire,
"So what happened?" Doctor 11 asked
"Daisy knocked her out" I told him
"Not that, Chris and...wow" He replied
"I don't know" I said honestly
"Why don't you research?" Doctor 11 asked me
So I did and what I found made my blood run cold, with a look and a kiss on Jasmine' forhead he left me and I made arragements with Chris to meet me at the cafe by the bay.
"I did my research, I'm sorry but Ryan couldn't have killed your son, he's dead" I told him
"Oh I can assure you he is very much alive, my son didn't see his killer coming, he was too human!" Chris raged, "Right now ACID are phoning Vera to tell her it was a road side bomb! What they won't tell her is that, that bomb as a body and the all the powers of a damn Darlek!"
I broke down,
"Don't do this to me" I pleaded, I knew what he was about to ask of me,
"You're the only one other than Adrian that can kill him" He told me
"I...I can't. He's from the old blood line we can't, it's not possible" I said
"You have powers in you, forbiddan powers, powers you know you can use if you have to, you left Galafray, you became a 50th century human with force fields and the use of 90% of that species' brain. You have 24 hours to aggree to the terms" Chris spat, presenting me with a piece of paper, "On that paper or I tell Owen you're his father...then where will we be?"
"You can't! The universe would converge on him, they'd destroy him!" I yelled
"You know what you have to do then, I don't care what it takes just get it done and fast!" Chris yelled back and with that he left.
When I got back to the hub I found Jasmine waiting for me, awake and angry...but then she saw my face,
"I can't...I can't" Was all I could say as I grabbed my wife to me, fear and dread pulsing through my veins.
The next night Owen took a trip up to FBI Cambridge and killed the head of underwater creatures before stopping by the library to meet Adrian,
"Hey, you have something for me?" Owen asked him
"CCTV from Malopa Library, something on there Granddad says Jack hasn't seen for a while, might be of interest to Torcwood" Adrian said, hadding Owen two disks,
"So, you're mother' here" Owen told Adrian
Adrian looked at Owen in shock,
