A/N this is chapter two of Return of Bad Wolf, by the way this is like another episode of season three, were the Doctor was kind of depressed, were he kind of wanted to die because he had lost both his people and the love of all his lives, so yes the doctor is emo in this story. And remember both writers here HATE Martha so yeah she will not be an angel in these stories.
Here we go…
Chapter Two
The TARDIS lurked as it landed in the middle of 21st century Cardiff.
A Timelord and his companion had come home.
The Doctor stood against the TARDIS door frame, looking out at the busy city. He sighed heavily, Earth was his second home but it never felt the same with out her, it never would again feel completely like home ever again.
A loud scream came from a far away room inside the TARDIS, the Doctor jumped at the sound and ran to the room, as he entered the room he found the sight of Martha Jones, his new companion, standing on her desk screaming at the sight of a mouse on the floor.
The Doctor chuckled as he walked up to the mouse and picked it up in his hands.
"Hey Suzy. How are you?" he talked to the mouse as he would to any human or alien. His mind wondered to her again and when they had found him under the toilet, he was so small then now it looked like he was eating well.
"You miss her to huh?" he asked the mouse as he put Suzy in to his pocket so his head stuck out.
The Doctor sighed and turned around to walk out of Martha's room. As he stepped over the threshold of Martha's room he paused. Without turning back to make eye contact with Martha, he spoke softly and said, "We've landed." The Doctor slowly stalked off, his hands dug deep into his pockets.
He wandered aimlessly around the TARDS control room, one hand stroking the controls the other hand patting Suzy. He hummed random notes as he waited for Martha to come in.
"Okay Doctor. What's with the rat?" she asked as she wanders in shrugging on her leather coat.
"He's an old friend and he's a mouse." The doctor corrected her as he walked down the runway to the door, "You coming?" he asked as the morning sun hit his nine hundred year old face.
"Yeah." Martha hurried to keep up with the doctor.
As they walked side by side along the bright residential street, Martha suddenly stopped dead in her tracks, stopping and turning around to see what was happening the Doctor just stared, puzzled.
"Wait, I thought you said the rats name was Suzy!" Martha said loudly.
The Doctor replied with, "Okay, first of all it's a mouse not a rat, and second of all I think the man Suzy is very manly." He didn't want to tell her that she had thought it would be funny to name a boy mouse after her old female cat.
"It's a boy though." Martha pointed out.
"Yeah." The Doctor started walking again; Martha looked at him as if he had grown another head.
"What about another name like Bob or something." The Doctor laughed as Martha ran to him again.
"But Bob is so girly." He went sad again remembering he had, had the same argument with her except he was in Martha's place and she was in his.
"Come on Martha, we need to go and visit an old friend. The doctor turned a corner and they hit the water, the glistening colour of the water reminded him of Widows Weep, her favourite place.
"Why couldn't you just land closer?" Martha complained, looking down at her black boots, which inside held her sore feet.
Martha started to recognize where they were, this was where they had dropped Jack off only a few weeks before. They walked a little bit further towards the front entrance of the underground base.
"Because it's a lovely day." The doctor lied to his companion, he didn't want to tell her it's because the path went past one of her favourite fish and chip's place.
Martha watched the Doctor carefully as they made their way to the hub, she knew that there was something else going on in his head, there had to be an alteria motive to this little trip. There always was. The Doctor skipped around looking for a travel agency.
"What are you looking for?" Asked Martha as she trudged around behind the Doctor.
"A travel agency." Stated the doctor in a matter of fact tone.
Martha had a puzzled look on her face. Why would they need a travel agency when they had the TARDIS? She decided to not ask and just trudge on.
"Ah ha!" yelled the Doctor as they rounded the corner to see a dingy looking travel agency about 100 meters away.
The doctor ran of with Martha at his heels. Stopping to catch their breath the Doctor gently pushed the door open with a tinkle of bells.
Stepping into the small room they were greeted by the rich aroma of a strong Jamaican blend of coffee. Sitting behind a cluttered desk that almost stretched the whole way across the room was a handsome young man in a well tailored black suit and a bright pink tie.
"May I help you, sir?" asked the young man, his voice heavily accented, welsh.
"Yes, hello I'm the doctor and this is Martha Jones. We are here to see Captain Jack Harkness."
"Doctor who?" the young welsh man asked.
"Just the Doctor." He smiled broadly, he loved that question.
"Well I'm sorry Doctor, Jack isn't here, and in fact he hasn't been here for a while. He's gone missing!" the young man was trying to keep a plain face but the doctor could see past it. He was positive that the young man had been torn up by Jacks disappearance.
Slightly concerned, the Doctor asked, "Then may we speak to the second in command?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to do that not until I can see some ID." The doctor reached for his left pocket and pulled out the physic paper. Holding it up so that the young man could read it, he said, "There you go, Doctor Smith." The Doctor put on his cocky grin (which he had learnt from Jack). The young man was not amused.
"This is black sir physic paper does not work on a member of torchwood."
"Well then you might have to take my word for it, I'm the Doctor nothing more nothing less then the Doctor.
The young man rose form his chair, "As in the Doctor?"
"Yep that's me!" the doctor put his hands of the lapels of his coat and swung on his heels.
"Where is the famous Ro…" he was cut off by a group of three young people coming in the door, arguing.
"Gwen! I'm the leader of this group! You don't go off and do your own thing! If we are going to work with out Jack we need to work together!"
"I don't care Owen. Your not the leader, Jack is!" the two arguing were oblivious to the Doctor and Martha. The other one mouthed words to the office boy.
"Who are they?" the young Asian lady mouthed to the office boy.
"The Doctor!" he mouthed back.
"Jack is gone! Again! I'm here so put up with it!" Gwen threw her hands up in defeat as her ex-lover turned on his heels and came face to face with the Doctor.
"This, sir, is our second in command, Dr. Owen Harper." Ianto Jones introduced the Doctor to Owen.
"Okay, don't call me sir ever again. And thank you," the doctor turned to the second in command, "You now who I am, I'm the doctor, formalities later, where's jack?"
Owen looked down at his Dunlop's, "we don't know." He admitted.
The Doctor looked Owen up and down, he wore faded and ripped jeans a blue striped button down shirt and white Dunlop's.
He looked like a child, a strong child but a child no the less.
"Why don't we finish this downstairs? Oh and I'm Toshiko Sato." The Korean girl said as the office boy pressed a button under the counter.
There was a loud hiss as hydraulic pressure pumps moved a circular vault door to the side.
The lady arguing with Owen at the beginning, Gwen Cooper spread her arms and said "Welcome to Torchwood!"
The doctor smiled slightly, "The basement look, I got something like that with the TARDIS." The Doctor said as he looked around.
"TARDIS?" Toshiko asked, obviously confused.
"Time and relative dimension in space." The Doctor said casuelly; the group minus Martha were confused.
"His time and space ship." Martha clarified.
"okay, leaving that alone for a moment," Owen said impatiently as he lead the group up the stairs to the conference room, every took a seat but the Doctor who stalked the room and Toshiko who stood in front of a large computer screen that showed different kinds of graphs, they all were of different periods of times, se started to speak with out being propped by either the doctor or Owen, "AS you may know Doctor our job here is to manage the rift, and take care of what ever comes out of it, but it seems that the rift is now not only dropping of aliens but now its taking humans. This happens when there is a negative spike of energy. The day Jack disappeared there was a large spike of negative energy and we think that jack might of gone to another dimension." Toshiko stopped and sat on the edge of the large table.
The doctor scratched his head, Jack was gone to another dimension, she was in another dimension, and he was stuck here.
"SO jack's stuck in another universe?" Martha said.
The Doctor replied sadly, "Every decision you make creates an alternate universe, Jack could be in any of them." The Doctor had a far away look in his eyes; Martha noticed he only got that look when he was thinking of her.
"Here's the plan, first we replicate the exact same negative energy in rift activity as when Jack was taken.." he was cut off by Martha, "But you said there are billions of universes, we could do what you say but we could end up anywhere."
"If I'm right which I normally am, this rift would take you to a universe you have something in common with. See say a great man goes through the rift with a pretty blonde girl and they end up in a universe where the girl's father is still alive. It's no coincidence, it's because they, the girl and the world, have something in common with each other. So jack's in a universe which has something in common with him."
"So, like a universe where everyone walks around naked?" Owen joked; the group shared a nervous chuckle.
"No maybe a universe were he never met someone, never met me maybe or oh my god, THE UNIVERSE WITH HER!" the Doctor ran out of the conference room and down to a computer.
A/N this is kind of set for the torchwood team after the first second ep. Okay we have no the Doctor looking for Jack. And even though jack might have been gone only a few weeks, he has only been in Rose's world a day, time works in her universe like how time works in Narnia, it's weird. Review please we like those.
Oh and a disclaimer if I owned Doctor who, rose would never of left, and the doctor would never ever wear clothes.
