A/N new chapter

A few days later, they decided to go somewhere. Setting Jack's vortex manipulator, that Kiera had fixed, to random, they packed their bags. Each of them grabbed two pistols and a knife. Shouldering their bags, they flashed out of the hub.

They landed on a ship. Jack caught Kiera as she stumbled, her head was a bit fuzzy from the manipulator. Jack laughed when he saw her dazed expression. The safety of a gun clicked off, and Kiera stiffened.

"You may shoot me, but the moral highground is mine," she told the man holding a gun to her ear. Jack stiffled a chuckle when he saw a darker-skinned woman point a gun at him.

"Who the hell are you and what the hell are you doing on my ship?" the man asked them. Kiera smiled and ducked away from the gun.

"Be careful, could put an eye out with that," she chided, both people stared at her. She was openly tempting them to shoot her. "I am Dame Kiera Tyler of Torchwood." she added seriously, "And this is my lovely fiance, Jack Harkness."

"Malcolm Reynolds," the man said shortly. Jack looked at him.

"Mal? Mal Reynolds?" he said, curiously. The man nodded. "Oh, and Zoe! I didn't know you survived." 'Mal' looked at him.

"Jack Harkness, the impossible man who can't die," Mal said after a moment. Jack smiled.

"Hello," Jack said. 'Zoe' looked at both of them.

"Jack," she said, solemnly. Jack smiled and Kiera smacked him.

"OI! Jesus, woman! Can't a man say hello to old friends?" he asked her.

"Well, obviously you can't," Kiera laughed. Jack looked hurt and Kiera kissed him. "You don't know how to not flirt."

"Well, I am the captain of the Innuendo Squad," he said, smirking at Kiera.

"Oh, hell no! You are the Captain of Torchwood! I am the Innuendo Squad captain, it's only fair!" Kiera protested. Jack was about to say something when Mal cut him off.

"Zoe, take the girl to a cell, I want to talk with Jack." Zoe grabbed Kiera's arm and led her away. They approached a room and Zoe told her to stay before locking the door. Kiera sighed and opened her backpack.

"Jesus, Jack! Where did you go?" Mal asked him. Jack smirked.

"Away," he said simply. Mal stared at him. "What? It's true!"

"And so specific," Mal was getting fed up with Jack's antics.

"Earth, Cardiff, Wales, 21st century," Jack told him. Mal stared at him in shock.

"Fine, we'll just go ask your precious fiance." Mal motioned for Jack and another man to follow him. When they reached the cell door, the ship shook as an explosion blew the door off. Jack sighed when he saw his fiance step out of the smoke.

"Let's blow something up, shall we?" she said. In one hand, she held a gun and in the other a homemade grenade. Jack whistled when he saw her and she grinned a manic grin that reminded Jack of the Doctor's.

"Jayne, what was that?" a girl about Kiera's age ran up. Jayne just stared at Kiera.

"Now that is my kind of woman," he said. Kiera smiled and walked over to him.

"Dame Kiera of Torchwood, Powell and TARDIS," she told him. She held her hand out and Jayne kissed it.

"Oh my god, you are such a slut, Kiera," Jack told her. Kiera smiled and walked over to him.

"I thought that was you, Mr. 'I am the captain of the Innuendo Squad' Harkness," she said, kissing him.

"No, you said I was just the captain of Torchwood, you are the Innuendo Squad captain, now," Jack smirked as the broke apart.

"Shut up," Kiera said. The other girl looked at her before looking at the door.

"You blew the door off," she said simply. Kiera smirked and looked that way.

"Looks better, an improvement,"

"I'm Kaylee," the girl said, "Ship's mechanic."

"Kiera, Torchwood, time traveler, dame of 3 estates, this loaf's fiance, and part alien," Kiera laughed. Kaylee's eyes widened.

"Where are ya from?" she asked Kiera.

"Well, London, then Manchester and then Cardiff, bit of a traveller."

"Where are those places?" Kaylee asked. Kiera looked at her.

"Earth, well more specificly, England and Wales," Kiera told her. Again, Kaylee's eyes widened.

"Earth?" she repeated. Kiera nodded. A girl around 17 was the next person to enter the area. She walked slowly and carefully towards them.

"They are laughing," she said, simply.

"No, why would we do that?" Jack asked. Kiera studied the girl.

"What do you see that everyone misses?" she asked her.

"Everything, you are different than anyone we have ever met. So strange. So different, yet so similar. You wait for a father you never met, you wait for the universe to go wrong. You carry a sort of starlight and it never fades. You have been so far, always preceded by the Oncoming Storm and the Big, Bad Wolf," the girl told her. Kiera stared as the girl continued. "Your mother saved a man and killed him at the same time, brought a man to life by taking his ability to die," at this Jack gasped, "Your love for danger is that of your father's. And you love the running, all the running your mother told you about. And you lie. You burn, but not in the center, but off to the side because you think you are not worthy. You are the daughter of time, but yet so afraid of it. Why?"

"What got the little albatross so carried away?" Mal asked them when the girl paused. Kiera took the pause to look into the girls head. She vaguely felt Jack catch her as both she and the girl fell.

Kiera stood in a corridor. Doors lined each side as she wondered around. She felt a hand grip hers as she reached a room. She looked down to see the girl.

"Who are you?" she asked the girl.

"River" she replied simply. Kiera nodded. "I know who you are, Kiera."

"Good, cause sometimes I don't," Kiera laughed. River stared at her.

"Why are you here?" River asked her softly. Kiera felt quite scared of the girl and looked at her.

"To help," Kiera answer quickly. River nodded.

"Your father is coming here, soon," River told her. Kiera looked at the girl. "Are you really from Earth?" Kiera nodded. "Could you take me there? What is Torchwood?"

"Torchwood is a secret group that defend the planet, and maybe if you can fight and defend yourself, you can join," Kiera told her. River led her to a door.

"You can look," River told her. Kiera opened the door and watched as River was tortured and trained. After a few minutes, she closed it.

"Let's talk later," Kiera told her. Kiera felt herself slip back into her body.

Jack was holding her. Kiera got up and walked over to River as she woke up.

"Hello," River said. Kiera laughed.

"Hello, River," Kiera replied. She noticed a young man also leaning over her. "Hello, Kiera, and you are?"

"Simon, her brother," the man said. Kiera laughed. She looked over to Jack.

"This is the last time I let you set coordinates! You said your father taught you and you get us here!" Jack ranted at her, "And then you happen to find another psychic! And you have to get to know her without our interference and then you wake up and ignore me-" Jack's rant was cut off by Simon.

"Your psychic?" he asked her. She nodded.

"One question Kiera, the girl said you never met your father, but you claim he taught you quantum mechanics," Jack asked her. Kiera sighed. She had known she would have to tell him.

"I never met my father, I met a man who was human and just like him, his name was John Smith, he taught me all I know about time travel and quantum mechanics. He was killed in front of me, Jack. I watched them gun him down!" Kiera said, she started yelling the closer she got to finishing.

"Who is your father?" Jack said harshly.

"The Doctor," Kiera mumbled.

"Kiera, I do not speak mumble," Jack said impatiently.

"THE DOCTOR!" Kiera yelled. This took Jack completly by suprise. "Are you happy now, Jack? You figured out who I am! A great big round of applause for the universe's biggest asshole!"

Jack stared at her in shock. Kiera moved away and Kaylee and River went over to her.

"Are you alright?" Kaylee asked. Kiera shook her head and sat down. Kaylee and River followed suit and held her.

"I can't believe he did that." she said softly. Kaylee looked at her.

"Did they really gun him down in front of you?" Kaylee asked. Kiera went to answer, but River beat her.

"Yes, I saw it,"

"As a friend of my dad's once said, a door once opened can be stepped through either side." Kiera said. Kaylee hugged her and River looked up to glare at Jack.

" You are an impossible thing, not human, but still human. You live forever. Always getting what you want. You once lost everything. Your own brother came back and tried to ruin your life again. The woman who saved you is here and you scold her for having secrets, while you hold so much from her. You are not a kind person, and she knows that. She has seen you for who you really are and yet she holds you closer. And you act without compassion." River scolded him. Jack opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by a wheezing sound. A smile crossed his face as he ran towards the rapidly materialising police box. Kiera stared at the object of her childhood fantasies appeared. A man stuck his head out and looked at them all.

"River, this is definitly not Stormcage," he said.
