Tosh dashed through the Hub with her head down. Owen followed calling after her, but the whole situation had just been awkward for her. First of all they were never really official even though there were little hints. Secondly, she couldn't remember any of it which was disappointing and thirdly she was just so embarrassed about the whole situation that she was at a loss for words.

"Tosh will you slow down," Owen yelled after trying to get her to talk to him about what had happened.

Tosh continued up the steps to Jack's office and stopped short at what she saw.

"Tosh…oh dear," came a very equally shocked Owen through the entrance of Jack's office.

"What happened?" she cried.

"I'm not sure exactly," said Jack's right side of his mouth or what Tosh could see. A splurge of light was cut down the middle revealing only his right side while his left was gone, but as Jack well saw in another world.

Tosh quickly ran over to the nearest computer scanning the Hub for abnormal activity. Owen examined the man himself checking vitals and pulse in case this thing, whatever it was, was disrupting Jack, himself.

"Where exactly is your other half?"Owen inquired.

There was suddenly another rumble of thunder and a crack. Myfawny screeched from up above and swooped low over the Hub. Another crack and a piece of ceiling hit the floor.

"Jack, what's going on?"Owen asked.

Ianto came flying through the door in his suit, panic written all over his face. Tosh had begun to type furiously. Ianto stared wide eyed at Jack apparently forgetting all about their little conversation from earlier.

"Jack-"

"-never mind me what's going on outside."

"You're not going to believe this," Ianto panted pulling up CCTV on another screen and facing it towards them.

The camera showed a dark cloudless sky lined with a few stars. Most would look at it and think it were a picture of beauty, but along came a flash, another crack was heard as the sky apparently began to break apart. The picture of beauty was gone and was replaced with fear that settled into each of the team's stomachs.

"It's not just here," said Tosh typing again, "It's the entire world. The world is ripping itself apart."

"How?"Owen inquired.

"I don't know," said Tosh.

"Well there has to be something," Owen inquired his voice a bit high.

"There probably is," agreed Ianto.

"Then what do we do. Tosh you're the genius. What the hell is going on?"

"I don't know Owen!" Tosh shouted spinning to face him.

"All right everyone calm down," Jack's right side of his mouth spoke, but with as much sounding authority as his whole mouth would.

"Calm down? Look at you," Ianto cried, "Your, your…half Jack!"

Jack suddenly felt a pull from the left end. He couldn't see anybody, but whatever it was the force was gripping him. Pain seared through his head as it began again.

"Jack!"Tosh moved grabbing his right arm trying to pull him back.

"I can't control it. Let me go," he barely muttered for he was falling in even more.

One final pull and he was being sucked in with full force only he wasn't alone.

"Tosh!" Owen yelled trying to break her hold on Jack, but it was too late.

She was pulled through. Owen and Ianto watched as the pair seemingly disappeared into thin air.

Jack landed with a thud on the ground with Tosh alongside him. He slowly lifted himself off of the ground when something caught his eyes. Shoes. Jack brought his head up and looked over the figure in front of him. Anger and hatred coursed through his veins as he stared at the cold blue eyed old man. Jack panted with rage and disgust as the man only grinned at him.

"Bilis, you son of a-"Jack stood up and went to hit him, but he disappeared into the atmosphere. It figured to be another one of his tricks.

"She died-this was the way she died, and when her breath was done, Took up her simple wardrobe And started for the sun. Her little figure at the gate the angels must have spied, Since I could never find her upon the mortal side."

"Suzie! Bilis!" Jack yelled his anger showing in his voice. His voice echoed around him.

He had had enough of these games. They had taken Gwen from him all ready, wasn't that enough? No, of course not. That was only part of their plan. They were able to stay under the radar for this long Jack had to give them that, but now their luck had run out because when you hurt and piss off an immortal who has seen more then what was meant to be seen, has loved more than once, has been tortured more than once and has died more than once then they had another thing coming. It was so much more then revenge. It was compensation and even afterwards it would never be enough because none of it would replace her, but at least she wouldn't have died in vain.

Jack looked around. It was a mystical place blank in features. How could one describe it? But he felt time ticking through his head and knew immediately they were part of the rift, caught in it. They were meant to be sent somewhere else and Bilis and Suzie intervened sending him and Tosh, who was not meant to be with him, here. Walls of Rift energy took form and Jack looked around to see a maze had formed.

"Tosh get up," he told her helping her up.

"Where are we?"

"The rift."

"The rift? Is that even possible?"

"When you've been around for as long as I have anything is possible. Something is wrong. Bilis and Suzie interfered with the true destination."

"Which would have been?"

"I'm not sure, but it wouldn't be here."

A sound interrupted their conversation. A slow growl came from behind them. Tosh and Jack looked. Its eyes were black and it snarled viciously at the pair. It also was a mystical being with rift energy flowing off of it. It had to be a trick of Bilis'. An insult even because it represented Rose and what she had given him. Everlasting life. Licking its lips and scraping the ground it howled.

"The wolf giveth and the wolf taketh away," Bilis' voice whispered from afar.

"That sick son of a bitch," Jack growled.

"Jack?" Tosh questioned fear in her eyes as she stared at it.

"Run," he told her, "It's the big bad wolf…"


The Doctor and Rose climbed aboard the TARDIS. She looked around at the home away from home away from her original home that she had missed so much.

"Hello old girl," Rose whispered stroking the console.

"Right, now first things first. That voice. Who and where did it come from?" The Doctor started.

There was another sound of fracture and a shiver in the ground. Rose held onto the console as it passed.

"Gwen mentioned a woman, a Suzie. Suzie something."

"Jack told me the same I know who you're talking about."

"Right, but how?"

"I'm assuming Bilis had something to do with it too."

"So what are we going to do?"

"First we're going to find Gwen who could-" The Doctor grabbed the console as another quake passed,"-close the rift, seal the universes and get us back to our own worlds that sort of thing."

"And I'm supposed to sit back and watch as you and Rose go getting yourself into more trouble," came Jackie's voice.

Rose spun to face her mother completely forgetting that they were actually there. For a moment it really did feel like old times.

"Absolutely not," the Doctor cried, "And shame on me for even letting you think I'd let you stand by and watch us risk our lives to save the universe."

"Thank you," said Jackie.

"Which is why I'm dropping you off at Torchwood three Cardiff in the other universe with old Captain Jack and their charming crew," he grinned.

He turned the knob and pressed a button. They were off before Jackie could protest holding on to anything close as the TARDIS passed through the void against the rift and back to Rose's world. Her original world. The world that had first united her with the Doctor that she had often missed.

"Doctor, Jackie and I had a life in our world," Pete argued trying to calm the baby.

"Well I'll take you back if you want to so badly however I do believe the Mrs. will object to it now wouldn't you Jackie? You on one world. Rose on another. One that you can't travel back and forth between once the rift is sealed."

Jackie looked at Pete who shrugged. Rose could tell this was going to lead to a full blown argument and was relieved to see the Doctor hurriedly walking them out to Torchwood. She would love the chance to see Jack again, but there was always time for that after the world didn't come to an end.

There was another clap. It was getting worse on this world too apparently. The Doctor scurried in quickly turning knobs and pressing buttons.

"Jack's gone and I have a feeling he's in trouble. We don't have much time. Shame I could have done with a good cuppa tea, but moving on ready Ms. Tyler?" he asked hovering over a big red button.

"With you? Always."

"We might die," he said very serious.

"Just like old times then?" she smiled.

He laughed and hit it. The TARDIS was off as thunder and rage echoed from all around.

"Where are we going?" she asked grabbing hold of the nearest solid object.

They had no real idea where Gwen was after all.

"The center of the rift. Gwen's mind would be the most vulnerable. She would be stretching across every universe for all time and space and that is exactly where an evil master mind would take someone whose mind was as opened as hers is if they were going to try and hurt her or destroy the cosmos."
Gwen was holding something. It was soft and actually felt like nothing and everything. Her head was searing in pain and there was a singing in her ears. It was soft and beautiful and sang of sadness, gladness, fright and love. But there was something wrong. She stood up though she wasn't exactly sure what she was standing on. It felt like fragments, ripples of energy and looked like mist. One side blue and the other a fiery yellow/red. It was so beautiful and yet none of it felt right.

Gwen clutched her head in agony as whispers erupted, bangs started, voices muttered and a constant ticking roared. She fell to her knees and moaned as another shot of it went through her.

"She died-this was the way she died…"the voice came.

Gwen took a long breath forcing the tears of ache back. She stood up using every ounce of her being to focus on the figure forming instead of the pain. Her anger rose within her and she clenched her fist. After everything she had been through there was no way that she was about to back down now.

"And when her breath was done," Gwen yelled, "Go on. Continue it!"

"Took up her simple wardrobe," the voice echoed.

"And started for the sun," Gwen grinded her teeth. The voice paused, "Go on!"

"Her little figure at the gate the angels must've spied," the voice said. They spoke in unison on the last line, "Since I could never find her upon the mortal side."

A small flash erupted and the yellow/mist cleared to let the woman through. A pretty thing she was with black hair and brown eyes. She had fair skin and no one would ever believe that she was once a dead woman who found new and skillful ways of coming back every time.

"Gwen," she said.

Gwen breathed the name harshly and gulped. She stare her down with a gaze of intensity and hatred as the name spilled from her mouth, "Suzie."
