So I figured I should probably put in a disclaimer before I get aressted or something so I don't own Doctor Who, that all goes to the BBC!
Her head ached too much for her to get any sleep, so once she was sure the rest of the house was asleep she snuck out to head back to Torchwood. She made her way back into the basement and was thankfully not noticed by anyone. Luckily, the guards had been taken off night duty because they never expected to get the cannon to work, so she was able to continue her work uninterrupted.
Rose awoke to Jack shaking her arm.
'Rose, wake up!' he didn't sound too happy to find her there. Slowly, she opened her eyes. She had only gotten a few hours of sleep, and was completely exhausted.
'I gave you one job! Go home I said! Get some rest I said! And where do I find you? Back here working!'
'Oi, I was sleeping 'till you woke me up!'
'Rose you are sick and you need proper rest! How much sleep did you get last night?'
'Enough. I slept most the night at home and just came back to work for the morning.' Rose lied. 'Guess I was just more tired than I thought. And I feel fine now, even had a bite to eat before I came!' She hated lying to Jack, but she knew it was the only way he would let her keep working.
Jack sighed
'Alright. . But you better suit up. We got a couple Sontaran trying to get us to go to war.'
'Ugh, enough to cause a big problem?'
'No only two. It will be easily handled but we still need you, and no you cannot stay behind and work on the cannon.' Jack silenced her before she could even start.
'Okay,' Rose sighed. 'I'll be right up.'
She made her way into the locker room and found another suit that would fit her. She yawned as she pulled the tight black shirt over her head. She was completely exhausted. She had only grabbed about two hours of sleep in the morning. She had been up all night working, but she only seemed to be moving backwards. It would take a miracle to get the dimension cannon working, and she hadn't had too many of those since she got stuck here. This was going to be a long day.
She made her way out into the parking lot where her team of five was already waiting for her. Being the A-team she had the five best members in all of Torchwood. She had Jack of course, who handled most of the alien communications, Vivian Harper, who was their field medic, Josh Cooper, who ran the tech, Hannah Jones, who assisted Josh with the tech along with being their 'team secretary' of sorts, and Aidan Matheson, who was the man they turned to when everything went south. Rose did not agree with having to carry guns, so she did not carry one, but the Torchwood staff deemed it necessary and the rest of her team was armed. Aidan was always ready to fire a shot in case alien negotiations turned hostile.
'Ready Rose?' Jack called from his spot leaning on one of the two black Torchwood SUV's.
'Ready as I'll ever be.' She replied, still trying to rub sleep out of her eyes. She hopped into one of the SUV's with Vivian and Jack.
'So where we headed?' Rose asked as they pulled out of the parking lot.
'Well from what we can tell, their ship seems to be hovering right over Kings Cross Station.' Replied Vivian from the backseat, focused on the computer screen in front of her. 'They seem to have set up a teleport so hopefully they will allow us access to their ship.'
Ten minutes later, they pulled up in front of Kings Cross, where the police, along with a few Torchwood members, had already closed down the platforms around the teleport system. With a flash of their badges, Rose and her team were quickly allowed access. They were led to the teleport which just happened to be….
'Oh you're joking!' exclaimed Rose.
'What?' asked Jack.
'They put the teleport right at the barrier between platforms nine and ten!'
'Yeah….so?' prodded Vivian.
'So?!' Rose scoffed 'Haven't you read Harry Potter!?'
'Harry what?' inquired Jack.
'You're joking, no Harry Potter in this universe? Blimey you're missing out…' Rose muttered.
'You feeling alright Rose?' asked Vivian.
'Yeah fine Viv I just…yeah….let's go.'
The six of them hopped into the teleport and the Sontaran beamed them onto their ship.
The instant they appeared, all three Sontaran had their guns pointed at them. They instinctively put their hands up…well all except Aidan who aimed his gun right back.
'Matheson! Gun down and hands up!' Rose barked at him. He reluctantly complied.
'Have you come to fight?' one of the Sontaran who looked like the leader of the group asked.
'We are from Torchwood and we represent planet earth.' Jack answered, stepping into his roll. 'We would just like to have some peaceful negotiations, so if you would be so kind as to put the guns down…'
'We do not do peaceful negotiation! We fight!' the same Sontaran replied.
'Yes, I understand that but why do you want to fight us? I'm sure there are many other species that have caused you more trouble than humans.'
'We are few, and you are weak. We desire a war and you were the closest.'
'Oi! We aren't as weak as you might think bud!' Rose knew that was a stupid thing for her to say but her tired mouth spoke for her.
'Rose…' Jack warned her.
'We come in strength and skill, you come in numbers. You will provide a valiant effort, but we will destroy you in battle.'
'Well we ain't gonna fight so you can just move along and find a race that has a reason to fight you.' Rose was starting to get frustrated. She was dead tired, and she just wanted to get back and continue working on the dimension cannon, however impossible success might be.
'If you do not want a war, we will give you reason to.' And before Rose could react, one of the Sontaran raised its gun and fired straight at her heart.
