Luna's Prophecy

The journey to Cardiff was a silent one. By now, the sun was setting, leaving an orange glow in the sky. Luna stared through the window as the jeep took her away from Granger's lab and away from the Doctor. Her head with desperately trying think of a plan. She had to save the Doctor and stop the Daleks from killing everything in the Universe. And there was the prophecy she had been shown. One thing she was sure of though, she needed help. Soon the jeep pulled over. The guard stepped out and went and opened Luna's door. She stepped out and found herself in a familiar place but not London.

"Why have you brought me to Cardiff Bay?" She asked.

"The Doctor asked us to bring you here," the guard replied, "Said you'd be safest here."

"How safe can anyone be with those monsters everywhere?"

The guard didn't answer. He got back in his jeep and drove away, leaving Luna alone, but not for long.

Jack was still hiding where the Doctor told him to when he saw Luna step out of the jeep. He waited until the jeep was gone then walked over to her.

"Luna." He called.

"Jack," Luna replied, "Is that you? Oh, I'm so glad to see you."

"It's good to see you too. We worried that you were lost."

"I sort of wish I was."

She turned her gaze away, down to her feet.

"The Doctor gave himself up for me. He shouldn't have done that."

"We tried to stop him. But, he wanted you safe."

Luna didn't look back. She was feeling guilty but knew she had to get a rescue plan together. Jack took her hand and walked her back to the Hub.

This was Luna's first proper glimpse of the inside of Torchwood. The last time, she was too terrified to even look at the vast space within. She had never seen anything like it. Only the TARDIS was close enough. As she followed Jack, she caught sight of the rest of the team. She had only seen Gwen and Ianto and had only heard of Sarah Jane and Martha so wasn't sure what to think. First to greet her was Sarah Jane. To Luna's surprise, the more experienced companion hugged her straight away.

"Oh, you must be Luna," She cooed, "I'm so glad you're safe."

Jack started to introduce everyone to Luna. Then Luna spotted someone she knew. James Cooper appeared and came to her.

"James," She gasped, "What are you doing here?"

"I met Martha while working in UNIT," He replied, "and when I heard that she would be meeting the Doctor, I came along to see you again."

Luna smiled. A friendly face was always welcome.

Once the introductions and reunions were over, the pressing issue was still to organise. Everyone filed in to the boardroom for a meeting. They needed ideas. They started with Luna telling them Granger's plans for the Doctor. As she described them, gasps of horror came from their lips.

"What can we do?" Martha asked.

"Nothing." Jack suddenly stated.

Everyone turned to him, shocked at what they were hearing. Captain Jack was giving up? Unheard of. Luna stared at him with disbelief. She was relying on Jack's help, now he wasn't offering it.

"Jack?" Ianto asked.

"Without the Doctor, we don't stand a chance. We are sitting ducks against the Daleks."

"Jack, we can't give up," Sarah Jane stated, "the world needs us."

Jack said nothing. He knew they were right but they were out numbered. Luna suddenly felt anger appear inside her. In a split second, she smacked him, straight in the cheek. The boardroom gasped and tensed. Jack stared in to Luna's eyes and was met with heartbreak.

"You should be ashamed," She growled, "Think of all the things the Doctor has done for you alone Jack. Ok, he once abandoned you on Satellite five, but everything else he has done has made you a better man. He's saved all of us so many times and no one asks him to but no one congratulates him, thanks him or helps him when he needs protecting. And right now, he needs us more than ever. And you're prepared to leave him? Well, sorry Captain Jack Harkness, I am not. If you think we are terrified of the Daleks, it nothing compared to how the Doctor must be feeling now. Jack, you've not been there when he has nightmares. Even in his sleep those things ruin his life."

Jack and the others were speechless. Luna was in tears but holding a calmness that no one was expecting.

"I'm not ready to give up until he's free and those things are completely destroyed."

"I'm with you, Luna," James called, "Anyone else?"

"Yeah!" Everyone, except Jack, replied.

Luna stared at Jack then starting working on a plan. As they started talking, Jack shuffled out of the room, feeling beaten.

Meanwhile, over at Granger's base, the Doctor found himself in a very uncomfortable position. He was lying on a cold metal table, held down by straps on his wrists and ankles. His torso was bare and there were little pads attached to his chest. The pads were wired up to machinery that was making a lot of beeping sounds. There was also three Daleks moving around him, making the uncomfortable feeling worse. But of course the Doctor knew how to hide this horrible feeling.

"So, then Daleks," He said, rather casually, "Where is your master, hmm? He wanted to meet me so when am I getting his hospitality?"

"Right now, as it happens." A voice replied.

The Doctor looked up to see the man from the TV screen. He looked very smug and not a very nice bloke at all.

"Ah, Doctor Granger, finally I get to meet my captor. You should be proud. It's not very often that someone manages to catch me. In a way, I am impressed."

"Thank you, of course, you did make it easy, allowing yourself to fall in to the trap."

The Doctor said nothing. He knew why he did it and didn't feel he had to explain.

"I can't work out why you and the Daleks are working together. They should have killed you the minute they saw you. Destruction is what a Dalek does best. Trust me; no one knows that better than me."

"Simple, we have a similar interest."

"What, eliminating every single species in the universe."

Granger started chuckling. But the Doctor wasn't. His eyes narrowed at this mad man.

"Oh, my dear Doctor," Granger replied, "That would be your good self, what with all the characters that you have defeated on your own. The Daleks want you out of their way and I wanted to catch you for my studies."

"What? What do you mean studies?"

"I have studied your people from a far for decades and now I want to know how you work, biologically. The only way for that is to have a live specimen, you."

The Doctor was suddenly speechless. Now he knew why Luna tried to stop him saving her. Granger wanted to dissect him.

"I don't need to open you up yet," Granger assured, "I'm just taking some simpler readings, you know heart rates, breathing etc."

"Oh great! That makes me feel brilliant!" The Doctor snapped.

"Now, I have some paper work to be getting on with. You just relax and I'll be back to check on you."

With that Granger walked out, leaving the Doctor guarded by the Daleks.

Back the Torchwood boardroom, Luna had the team sat around the table, drawing up a plan to save the Doctor and stop the Daleks. They had to work out how to get in to the lab, how to get the Doctor free and how to kill the Daleks and stop Granger. There was a lot of arguments on how each stage should be tackled but Luna couldn't see any compromise being made.

"Right, guys, settle down," She called, "There is one thing we need to do before we do anything. We need to get the TARDIS. The Daleks will want to find it for themselves. They can use the technology to their advantage. But if we find it first, we can use the technology too."

"But isn't it in London?" Sarah Jane asked.

"Yes, the Doctor and I landed just half a mile from my house. I could find it easily."

"But it'll take a couple of hours to get there. In that time, the Daleks may find it." Ianto pointed out.

"Right, so we need to distract them long enough. I was thinking that maybe UNIT could help on that front."

"They could…" James started.

"But lives could be lost." Martha stressed.

"We don't have to fight them, just confuse them long enough to get to the TARDIS." James replied.

"Then when we find the TARDIS, how do we get it here? Only the Doctor knows how to fly it properly."

"Well, I know how to fly it." Luna explained, "The Doctor had me flying it alone a couple of times."

"Really? Wow." Luke and Clyde replied.

"Then we need a way of fighting the Daleks." Gwen added.

"Well, you can't do that without a guy who can't die." An American voice interrupted.

They all turned around to the door to see Captain Jack Harkness dressed in his coat and smiling. He was back on the team. Luna beamed with delight. She was having doubts that they could succeed without him.

"You're going help us now." She asked, slightly teasing.

"Yeah," He replied, "I had a few words with myself. Everything you said, Luna, was true. This is exactly what we should be doing. Now, let's get planning."

With Jack back on the team, there was still hope. Luna was still nervous. There was still that prophecy in her mind and the risk to all her friends. She knew that this situation could get a lot worse.

How are the Doctor's children of time going to rescue him? And can they do it in time?
