He Wasn't There In Time

When I pulled up Earth on the computer in the TARDIS, the sights I saw shocked me. The world was in chaos and I wasn't there, but wouldn't they need to learn that I couldn't be there all the time. I was only one man after all, albeit an alien man- Time lord. This was exactly why I hate Torchwood even if Jack took it over from the "shoot first ask questions later" people who had run it before. They still attracted attention to Earth,

I can't even think of a way to stop them with all my knowledge and power. In this instant, I'm helpless. I can't save the whole world from aliens, maybe this moment in time was supposed to happen.

I put my head in my hands, but I can't just sit up here and do nothing while the earth goes to hell. I have friends down there. Why did these aliens even come here in the first place? I didn't think I would get an answer to my question.

Just then, the screen switched channels and it showed a video.

"Back in the old days, I wanted to ask Jack a question. I wanted to know about that Doctor of his. All those times in history, when there's no sign of him I wanted to know why not

But I don't need to ask anymore I know the answer now, sometimes the Doctor must look at this planet and turn away in shame, and I'm recording this so you can see how the world ended"

Then the screen went blank…

Who was that woman? I wondered for a moment. I was going to fail the one world I vowed to protect over everything else. The humans have so much promise, but then they keep trying to understand things they're not ready to handle. That's when the world suffers.

I started circling the console restlessly; I had to figure out something to do. I needed to save them, but how?

If I had gotten here sooner maybe I could have done something, confronted the aliens, but I got here to late to do anything for the humans.

Jack was down there, the man had saved me before, fought along side me. He was my friend I couldn't just do nothing.

I stopped my pacing; maybe this was easier than I was thinking. Torchwood has weapons to combat aliens. Then why weren't they doing anything?

I put my hands on the controls, hoping I was making the right decision and not messing with anything big in time. I set the coordinates to Cardiff and the Torchwood base.

When the TARDIS materialized, I was surprised to see rubble where the hub had been. This was worse than I thought. I shut the TARDIS doors, leaning against them, if Torchwood and Jack were gone. Then the earth was doomed. The chaos that was happening in London was happening all over the world.

I walked slowly my shoulders slumping, I couldn't save the earth, and it would have to save itself. I walked towards the controls, taking the TARDIS into the time vortex then slumping into the chair. I wished to every god that I knew of to save the earth.

This time in history, I couldn't do anything and it killed me, Every time I had saved the world stopped alien upon alien from attacking the earth. NO! It won't end like this the earth will survive.
