Back at Torchwood, Ianto and Tosh were searching for any information that they could find on the Doctor. River was sitting on the step as I walked into the building. Her eyes were a blotchy red colour, possibly from all the crying, just at a guess. I looked towards Jack and scowled him. How dare he? How dare he drug River? Anger building up; I didn't know what would happen next, but I knew someone would have to hold me back. I passed River as I headed towards Jack and gave her a minute smile. Clenching my fist, River grabbed my arm.
"It's not worth it." She sounded tired, "I was in there for over an hour, and he kept reviving himself." I relaxed, today was not the time for violence, it was time for answers and they were coming from Jack.
"What the hell am I?" I calmly asked Jack, "How come I can't die?"
"Well… It's quite a lengthy story." Jack replied. He was trying to edge away from River and yet he wanted to get closer to me.
"Don't even try it!" I growled through clenched teeth, "You've got a whole lot of explaining to do to me and my…" I looked over at River. How was I going to approach this? Say mother? Or stick to River, and still live in the idea that this was all a dream and I would wake up to my parents, Anthony and Katie Williams? I took a deep breath and finished my sentence, "… River?"
I looked over to River. She had tears glistening in the corner of her eye but she nodded in understanding about how I approached this.
"Well, I did keep you in the family though." Jack bluntly replied, I stared at him ice cold.
"What?" I asked through clenched teeth.
"Anthony is River's adopted brother. So technically, you remained with your family, even if you called your uncle, 'Dad'." Jack continued. Owen stepped in-between his boss and me, trying to calm me down. I screeched in rage and lunged at Jack, starting to choke the life out of him. I vaguely remember feeling a pinching sensation on my arm but after that, nothing.
