Disclaimer: I do not own Doctor Who or Torchwood, both belong to the BBC and their respected writers. But I do own Gaia! :b

Here's another chapter, it's the introduction to Torchwood. Hope you like! :) x

Gaia stepped out into the sea air, the wind whipping her hair round her face. Earth was so different to Starnet and she loved this planet with all her hearts, she had 3, but it could never replace home. She had put so much work into this little planet, chronologically for her humans were still apes that roamed around the earth's surface and had yet to meet the ice age. But that was the beauty of time travel, she could see her planet any state she wanted, with out actually having to wait for it too happen.

She looked around at the concrete area next to the bay, a giant water-feature at its centre. In 10 years time this place would become the site of the millennium centre, so much would change in the next 2 decades and no one but her had a clue. Well maybe Jack.

10 years ago these people believed that by 2010 the human race would have flying cars, some still did. Yet none of them had a tiniest of ideas that in just over a decade aliens would invade the earth and people's outlook of the universe would change. The human race, one of her greatest ideas.

She gave a final casting look over the bay then started to walk to the Information centre, which she knew was the entrance to the infamous Torchwood, where, at this moment in time, a certain Captain Jack Harkness was located.

It was a short walk from the concrete bay side to the wooden quay where the information centre was located. It was early morning, about 7 am so very few people were about. Gaia knew though with in the hour the city would fully awake, humans coming and going, all with separate lives yet all interconnected through one way or another. She approached the wooden door, took a deep breath then pushed it open.

"Hello there, how can I help you this morning?" A young welsh man said from behind the counter, looking very bored.
"Yes, I'm here to see Captain Jack Harkness." Gaia said, smoothly.
"Sorry who?" The man, Gavin Jones, asked, his acting skills was atrocious.
"I know he's here. He's through that door behind the notice board. I would very much appreciate it if I could talk to him."
"Oh, ermm... sure. I'll let you right in." Gavin said pushing several buttons behind the desk. The notice board then popped out of the wall and swung open like a door.
"Thank you Gavin." Gaia said stepping through the door. She closed it before he could ask how she knew his name.

Gaia followed the winding corridors when she came up to a door that required a code; there was a speaker next to it. "This better be important." An American voice boomed through the speaker.
"Nice to see you too Jack." Gaia said, presuming there was a microphone of sorts in the corridor.
"Who is this?" Jack asked.
"Well if you let me in you can find out." Gaia said. There was no reply.

The door then hissed open and Gaia stepped through as the cage around the door lifted. She was met with the barrels of 3 guns. "Nice to see how you treat your guests." Gaia said hand on hips. Jack didn't lower his gun, but expression went into one of deep thought. Gaia gave him a minute he'd figure it out eventually.

Jack dropped his gun; it literally it fell through his fingers and on to the floor, causing odd looks from his co-workers. He ran up to Gaia and lifted her in to a hug. "Oh my god, Gaia I am so sorry. It's so good to see you." Jack said spinning her round. Gaia laughed,
"No worries saw this coming." Gaia joked. Jack put her down.

"Jack who is she?" One of Jack's co-workers asked, Samantha Hammond was her name as Gaia recalled. The other of Jack's co-workers, Mike Newell, agreed.
"This is Gaia, an old friend of mine. More like a little sister to me." Jack joked.
"Little? More like older sister." Gaia said accusingly to Jack, who now had his arm round her waist.
"You'll find I'll be catching up with you." Jack turned to her.
"Not likely, reached the 2 billion mark a few years ago. Feel like taking that back?" Gaia joked.
"Nope, 'cos your still little." Jack said. Gaia punched him in the arm.

Both Mile and Samantha had placed there guns back in their holsters and were watching the pair with amusement. "Not going to lie I didn't see you as the responsible older brother type Jack." Mike joked. Jack and Gaia laughed.
"Who said anything about responsible? While I was supposedly in his care I ended up destroying my school and dissembled 2 of the babysitting androids." Gaia joked; Samantha and Mike gave her blank looks.
"1990's." Jack whispered indicating at the 2 blank looks Gaia was getting.
"Gonna have to get use to that." Gaia whispered to that.
Samantha rolled her eyes and started to walk back to her workstation, when she saw that Mike was not moving she gave him an elbow. He snapped out of it and walked over to his workstation.

Their work stations consisted of metal desks covered in paperwork, a large box computer, slightly smaller than normal one's of the era but still big, and a telephone which was the size of a brick.

"Come on we'll go up to my office to chat." Jack said, dragging Gaia up a set of spiral stairs.

Gaia sat down in one of the seats in Jack's office and Jack turned around to close the door. When he turned back Gaia's happy charade shattered and the first of many tears rolled down her face. "Oh come here." Jack said opening his arms and Gaia fell into them. Jack squeezed her tight. "You just got off Starnet?" Jack asked quietly. Gaia nodded into his chest. Jack didn't need to say more, he just let Gaia cry into him.

They remained there for a few hours moving to the sofa Jack had in his office, Gaia sitting on his lap, the tears never ceasing. Gaia eventually cried herself to exhaustion and fell asleep in Jack's arm. Jack kissed Gaia on the forehead and slowly placed her down on the sofa. Then, after rummaging around a bit looking for it, put a blanket over her. He then slowly closed the door to his office and went down to the now abandoned work stations.

Gaia remained with Jack and Torchwood for the next 16 years. She saw it all, the genocide of Torchwood 3 in the millennium, the hiring of each of the new Torchwood staff, Toshiko Sato, Owen Harper, Ianto Jones and Susie Costello. She saw it all.

She ended up herself living at the hub; a second office built adjoining to Jacks. Jack and hers relationship was a brother sisterly love, him although the younger of the pair acting as the older brother.

She had been approached by many of the Torchwood staff over the years on how she met Jack and to each and everyone she had remained quiet. When truth be told she didn't remember. She had met Jack when she was a baby; she had known him her entire life. A fixed point in time and space landing on the Earth, Gaia was the first to know and with that kind of power it reverberated all the way back to her birth. Gaia had known Jack since she was 2 days old, the age of which a child is bonded to their planet or moon.

Although against it at first, she had learnt how to use a variety of weapons and beat Jack several times in aiming competitions. She was a female companion who would happily go out shopping with the girls if asked or she would happily stay at the hub with the boys and drink herself livid (although she needed thrice the usual alcohol consumption of a human being to even get the slightest bit tipsy). All in all, she was the perfect Torchwood staff, immortal by the standards that no earth weapon could harm her; she was Jack's constant companion for almost 2 decades.

Now, late 2006, they were in the middle of a case. A string of unidentified murders, all killed with an interesting shaped knife and Jack, much to Gaia's displeasure, had taken upon himself to use an alien glove which Owen had dubbed `the resurrection gauntlet`. That's when `Everything Changes. `

Reviews are much appreciated. I currently have up to Chapter 10 written on my laptop and some of the chapters are pretty damn long if I do say so myself! ;) Anywho... hope you liked it. :) x
