Everything Changes- Part 1

I do not own Doctor Who or Torchwood and I am not making a profit off of this. I only own my OC.

Thank you for all your reviews, favorites, follows, and story alerts.

Jack and I walked side by side to Torchwood Three. I was more nervous than normal. I was meeting Jack's team. And I knew what was going to happen to most of them. "Jack?"

"Hmm?" Jack said, looking at me.

"Have you told your team about me?" I asked, picking my fingernails.

Jack stopped walking and pulled me over to a bench and we sat down. "Of course I have. You're my Susan." Then his eyes widened. "Your nervous!"

"Of course I am. Jack. I know the futures of everyone on your team! I don't know if I can… please don't tell them." I said on the verge of tears.

Jack cupped my chin with his hands and turned my face so I stared at him, "Susan. Listen, none of this is your fault."

"But I could have prevented it." I whispered.

"Yes, and you got hurt." Jack argued back.

I sighed at moved in and hugged him. "It's just so hard." I mumbled into Jack's chest, silently crying.

"I know." Jack said, rubbing my back in a circular motion. "Shh. It's going to be okay."

After a few minutes we got up again and started walking to the entrance of Torchwood Three.

Jack held the door open to a small tourist shop down by the water. I drew a sharp breath once I saw Ianto. Jack glanced at me and grabbed my hand. "Hey Ianto." Jack said.

Ianto looked up from the computer. "Hey Boss. How- Susan?"

"What?" I asked, stunned for the man to know me already. I was starting to sound like The Doctor, oh no.

Jack smiled, squeezed my hand and said, "I told you I told them about you."

"Susan? The Susan? Jack's Susan?" Ianto said, shock written across his face.

I smiled. "Hello."

A huge grin formed after the initial shock wore off. "Well then, go on in."

I gave a brief smile and said, "Thanks." Jack and I walked into the elevator which took us down into the Hub.

I sat in the passenger seat of a big black modified Range Rover Vogue, driving to a crime scene. A body had been reported in an alleyway with a stab wound to the back. I was the only one who knew Susie did it. I stayed away from her as much as possible.

We pull up to the crime scene and we get out. Jack and I walk side by side, letting the others follow us. I heard someone ask "Who's Torchwood?" I knew that was Gwen.

"Special ops or something. Is that hot?" Gwen's friend asked, meaning the coffee.

"Er, yeah. Have it. But they're not allowed in there." Gwen was still speaking but I concentrated on what Jack was saying instead.

"There you go. I can taste it. Oestrogen. Definitely oestrogen. You take the Pill, flush it away. It enters the water cycle, feminises the fish." Suzie takes the metal gauntlet from a black, metal case and puts it on her right hand. "Goes all the way up into the sky, then falls all the way back down on to me. Contraceptives in the rain. Love this planet. Still, at least I won't get pregnant. Never doing that again. How's it going?"

"Again?" I asked, offended.

Jack winced. "Later."

"Nothing yet. It's got to connect. I've just got to feel it." Suzie responded, ignoring my interruption.

Owen was not happy at all. He was bouncing up and down from the cold holding a camera. "Hurry up and feel it. I'm freezing my arse off here."

"I can't just flick a switch. It's more like access. It grants me access." Suzie argued.

I leaned into Jack to warm up. Jack glanced back at me and I tilted my head a bit to the left. He looked back at the body.

"Whatever that means." Owen said, still fed up that we had to go out here in the rain.

"It's like. Oh, oh, oh." The palm of the gauntlet Suzie is wearing is glowing blue.

"Positions." Jack said. Then he grabbed my hand and said, "Stay by me. This won't be pretty."

"I know." I whispered. Jack glanced at me then back to his team.

"If I get punched again, I'm punching him right back." Owen said, still complaining.

"Just concentrate. Suzie." Jack said, ignoring Owen. Suzie kneels behind the dead man and cradles his head in the gauntlet. The crime scene lights grow brighter, the rain stops, then the dead man wakes up.

"There was. What was. I was, I was. Oh, my God. I was going home." The unknown person said.

"Listen to me. We've only got two minutes so it's important that you listen, okay?" Tosh said, hurriedly.

"Who are you?"

"Trust me. You're dead."

"How am I dead?"

"You were stabbed." Owen supplied, not helping things at all.

"I'm not dead. I can see you."

"We've brought you back, but we haven't got long. I'm sorry, but you've got to concentrate. Who did this to you? What did you see?" Tosh said.

"Why am I dead?"

"Who attacked you?" Tosh asked.

"I don't want to be dead."

"Sixty seconds." Suzie warned us.

"You've got to think. Just focus on me. What was the last thing you saw?"

"I didn't see. I don't know."

"Who killed you? Did you see them?"

"I don't know. There was something behind me."

"Police said one stab wound in the back." Owin added.

"So you didn't see anything." Tosh asked gently.

"No. What happens now?"

"Thirty seconds." Suzie counted.

"But he didn't see anyone." Tosh said to the group.

"Don't waste it." Suzie commanded.

"What else do I say?"

"What's your name?" I asked. Everyone looked at me stunned, not expecting me to say anything.

"John. John Tucker."

"Okay, John. Not long now." Jack said.

"Who are you?"

"Captain Jack Harkness. Tell me, what was it like when you died? What did you see? John, tell me what you saw."

"Ten seconds." Suzie said, not helping the mood.

"Nothing. I saw nothing. Oh, my God. There's nothing." And John died, again.

"Shit. I said it was stupid, telling him he was dead." Owen said, angrily.

"Well, you try it." Tosh shot back.

"Trust me, like that's gonna work." Owen argued back.

"Told the last corpse he was injured, he wasted the whole two minutes screaming for an ambulance. Maybe there's no right way of doing it." Jack said, squeezing my hand, noticing I was shivering.

Jack and I looked up at a very bewildered Gwen Cooper. "What do you think?" We both shouted up to her in unison. Her head disappears from sight as she runs away.

Everyone got back to The Hub in an annoyed and grim mood. "Everyone has the rest of the night off." Jack announced. "Go home."

Jack lead me into his office and closed the door. Then he turned up the room temperature to at least 28*C. He took off my coat and hung it up while I went over to the coffee machine and started filling up two cups.

Jack took me by the hand and lead me over to the couch and we sat down and leaned back, holding eachother. After a while Jack spoke. "Who was that cop? The one that listened in?"

"Gwen." I rested my head on Jack's shoulder. "Gwen Cooper."

"She's that girl you mentioned earlier." Jack noted.

"Yeah."

"And she's important."

"More important than you know." I responded, thinking about Miracle Day and Children of the Earth. We were silent after that. Just holding eachother on the couch.

And that's where Ianto found us the next morning, asleep and holding each other as if someone would take either of us away.
