Chapter 4: Walking
I do not own any of the material used in this story other than the storyline and my own character.
After the argument the Doctor had just had with Rose about getting up to make breakfast he went over his options in his head, Rose was out, he didn't want to face Jackie in the morning, Donna would be as bad if not worse than Jackie, that only left Martha, tom and her family, five minuets later he had made a mental note never to try that again and set off to make breakfast on his own, he ended up just doing the basics, cooked some sausage, egg and bacon and put out some fruit and cereal now all he needed was some of Ianto's coffee and breakfast would be set.
"Morning Doc, where are the rest of your team?"
"Lets just say I have learnt the hard way that you should not try and get any off them up in the morning."
"Oh well, Ianto said he would be up in five minutes and he would make some coffee, that should cheer you up."
About five minuets later a tired looking Ianto crawled out of the tent he had been sharing with Jack and walked up to Jack and the Doctor.
"Ianto can we get some coffee?"
"Sure just give me a moment, Doctor can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead."
"Were Rose and you at the battle of Canary Warf?"
"Yes, along with Jackie and Mickey, why?"
"It was just, I was there with my girlfriend, Lisa, she was half converted when the machinery shut down, what happened?"
"By the time the others were roused by the smell of food and coffee the Doctor was deep into the story, he had started with John lumic and then talked through what Torchwood one had been doing and Ianto understood, he had asked Jack but he didn't have all the answers finally Ianto understood why Lisa had done what she had.
By the time everyone had finished breakfast and had washed up it had been decide that they would get to know the surrounding area a bit better, Tosh had pulled up a recent satellite photo which you could see there campsite on already, together she and the Doctor had planned a route for them to take, it was about ten miles round and would take them about five hours if they stopped for lunch, Sarah Jane and her group put together some sandwiches and the set off about eleven in the morning.
The Doctor and Tosh were navigating and about a four miles round just after there first break Tosh started asking the Doctor questions.
"Jack says you are the same man I met in 2005 at Albans Hospital."
"That was me."
"But the Doctor I met was at least ten years older than you and from Manchester, he wore a leather jacket and a jumper, you where a suit and a long brown coat, how are you the same man?"
"When my species comes close to death we can regenerate, new body, new personality everything, but with the same memories."
"Did you find out who did that to the pig we examined?"
"Yep, it was a family of aliens from the planet Raxicoricofalibitories, stopped them, one got away and went to Cardiff, remember the earthquake, that was it, Rose, Jack and me stopped it."
"So that is why Jack didn't let us go out, he didn't want to meet himself and he knew it would be fine."
"Suppose so, anyway I don't know what happen to the rexicoricfalibitoriens but I think they must have left earth."
"Not exactly Doctor."
"A few more came to earth and tried to switch off the sun and when we stopped that they used the humans latent telekinetic ability, enhanced it then use the most powerful mind on the planet to try and crash the moon into the earth, we stopped that to."
"And this powerful mind would be?"
"My son Luke."
"And what makes his mind so powerful?"
"He is the bane archetype, his mind is a combination of thousands of others."
"Wow."
"Anyway Doctor, I think this is our lunch spot."
The rest of the hike pasted in a good mood and general chatter, Donna mum and Marias mum were finally coming round to the idea of the whole alien thing and were starting to take an interest in some of the stories.
"So anyway, Rose and I were being chased across a nudist planet, nothing on what so ever, by the local police, get into the TARDIS and just take off anywhere, it lands, we go outside and guess where we are, we are stood on and iceball with no clothes on, freezing cold."
"Doctor, maybe not the best story for the kids."
""Rose what were you doing on a nudist planet?"
"Oh shut up mum."
"Anyway that is nothing, did I ever tell you about the time Ianto directed me on a Weevil hunt handcuffed to my bed?"
"Oh trust you Harkness to take it too far."
"It could be worse, I could have told you what I was wearing under my coat at the time."
Everyone polity ignored the fantastic shade of red Ianto had turned and Owen saved Ianto by shouting to tell them tea was ready.
It had only taken three of them to make tea this time and Owen, Tosh and Gwen had made a huge bowl of spaghetti bolognaise.
Later on when everyone had gone to sleep Jack poked his head into the Doctor and Rose's tent.
"Doc, you awake?"
"What do you want Jack?"
"Rift monitor picked something up, coming through about half a mile from here, but the readings are strange, seems to be a female human, but detects a binary vascular system and two hearts."
The doctor had his coat on and was running behind Jack before they had realised fully what was going on.
