Disclaimer. I do not own Torchwood but you already knew that. :D
Final Showdown.
"Jack?" Donna marched towards the black 4X4 as the blonde jogged around to the pavement. Jack hopped out of the car as Rose reached the pavement.
"Donna Noble." Rose pulled the older woman into a hug. Donna and Rose began chatting away as Rhys and Jack stared at each other. Little Anwen slept on regardless.
"Rhys. You ok?"
"Am I ok? Am I ok? No Jack I damn well am not ok. I've just been told some bloody psychos from another dimension wants to kill my wife and daughter." Rhys hissed as Jack nodded.
"That is not going to happen."
"How do you know? You buggered off for a year. Fine bloody father you turned out to be! Where were you when Gwen needed you?"
"She didn't know who I was. It was better that way." Jack hissed. "Look what I did to Sian. To Steven."
"He's ok now."
"Yeah." Jack sighed. "But Sian will never forgive me. And in her shoes I wouldn't forgive me either. Now get in the car."
"You just buggered off and left her."
"I know." Jack sighed. "I know. I didn't mean to be gone for so long. I knew she was missing Ianto too."
"Right." Donna turned to face the two men. "Are you two going to spend the rest of the night here doing your own welsh version of the Jeremy Kyle show or are you actually going to get in the car and find the other two?"
"Yeah." Rhys nodded and passed the baby to Donna. "Talking does no good wiv 'im anyway."
"You weren't talking. You were kicking off, now get in the car so we can go and find Gwen and Ianto. This has to end tonight." Rose stated.
"And who are you?"
"I told you who she is." Donna rolled her eyes.
"Rose Tyler." Rose smiled slightly. "I travel a bit. That's how I met Jack."
"We don't have time for this." Jack snapped as the rain began to drench the streets. Donna secured the baby in her car seat before jumping in next to her.
"No." Jack looked Rhys directly in the eye. "We don't."

Gwen looked out over Cardiff Bay, the water illuminated by the various lights from the Bayside resteraunts and nightclubs. She shook her head. Rolhd Dahl Plas was so different to her now. She knew that 99.9% of the population would have no idea who or what had been working underneath them for years. Hanging her head she closed her eyes and listened. For a moment she was certain she could hear Myfanwy shreak in the distance and Owen and Tosh teasing each other. She could even see Suzie glaring at her in her mind's eye as she held a gun at Jack's forehead. Memories of Weavels, Risen Mittens, mad scientists and various aliens all ran through her mind. She had loved every second she had been in Torchwood, even if she had been terrified at times. Now to know that for all those years she had been working with her father.
"Gwen Mair Cooper." She froze as she heard a distinctly London accent mispronounce her name. It was one of her pet hates. Slowly she raised her head to look out over the water. She made no attempt to turn around.
"What?"
"Where is Jack Harkness?"
"Dunno who you are talking about." Gwen lied.
"I think you do." Gwen stiffened as the woman's voice got nearer. In seconds a gun barrel was jammed in her back. "I think you know where Ianto Jones, Donna Noble and Jack Harkness are. I know you know where Anwen Williams-Cooper is."
"What sort of mother would I be?" Gwen paused as she tensed. "Exactly what sort of Mam would I be if I told you where my baby is?"
"Tell me." The woman stated.
"Oh, I'll tell you something Love." Gwen spun on her heel as the woman recoiled back. Her elbow connected with the woman's face as she hit her and grabbed the gun at the same time. The red head recoiled back as she felt the full force of the blow. Seconds later she launched herself at Gwen, scratching and trying to bite her. Gwen snarled in fury as she kicked her attacker's feet from under her so that they were both on the floor. It came as no surprise that none of the passers by stopped to help. No one would interfere in a scrap like that when the streets were getting ever more violent. The news of the shoot out had already hit the local televison news.
"Where are they?"
"Oh change the bloody record." Gwen turned the woman so she was laying on her front before pinning her hands behind her back, grateful that she had taken Karate lessons as a teenager. "And for the record exactly how much bloody lipstick do you need?"
"Arrgh"
"Oh shut up, you mare." Gwen dragged her to her feet as a taxi pulled up a few feet away.
"Gwen!"
"Oh hiya, nice of you to join me." Gwen smiled cheekily as Ianto paid his taxi and ran towards her.
"Sorry. Looks like I missed something."
"Yeah." Gwen sighed. "Do you reckon we can get back in the Hub?"
"Yeah." Ianto nodded. "Not the quick way though." He helped her get the flame haired woman to her feet.
"That's ok. I just think she needs to answer a few questions and I can't see Andy's lot being able to contain her."
"Fair point." Ianto stared at her as he realised she had taken just as much of a beating, if not more so than the woman they were escorting to the Hub. Both stopped in their tracks as the familar back 4x4 pulled up in front of them. Gwen couldn't help but smile in relief as she realised that so far the entire team were alive and well. Her heart nearly stopped in her chest as she realised the blonde dimension jumper was with her team. Anwen immediately put her hands out for her mother to pick her up as Jack took the woman's arm. Gwen smiled at Rose as she took her daughter from Rhys. As the baby snuggled into her arms Gwen froze. It was only a second. But a second was all it took as she registed the dark haired man in the steps.
"JACK!" She yelled as the gun fire broke out over the rain soaked streets. Rose turned a fraction of a second too late as the bullet pierced her leather jacket. Jack turned and returned fire as the man flickered and vanished. Rose fell to the floor as Ianto caught her.
"Bloody Hell." Rhys yelled as Ianto scooped her into his arms. Jack turned back to the woman Gwen had fought with as the woman gave him a sly smile.
"One down." She laughed before vanishing into thin air. Rose coughed slightly as Ianto half ran with her towards the side entrance to the Hub. Jack ran a hand through his hair as Rhys and Gwen stared at each other. Both had a feeling it was far from over.

A/N I thought this was the last chapter but I've split it into two. Please review. Not much more left. Is Rose ok? Will the Torchwood crew get her home? Will Gwen be able to work with Jack, knowing who he is? Let me know what you think.
