Hey guys! So, I have decided to add Ianto and Owen into this just because I can. I may add more of the characters but for now my life is simple as I don't have to worry about too many of them. Please leave reviews if you enjoy the story (even if you're a guest) as more reviews means the next chapter will come quicker! Many thanks to: unshakespearean, RosetheOwl and TorchwoodFan4Eva for the kind support! If you have an idea's I would LOVE to hear them! Anyways, on with the chapter
Rachel :) xx
Me and Jack were hugging for about 10 minutes before there was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" Jack called.
He pulled out of the hug but kept me sat on his lap. He had one hand around my waist, keeping me firmly on him so I didn't fall off of his lap and one stroking my fringe out of my face. Probably as a comfort.
The door opened to reveal a middle aged man with brown hair standing there. His eyes immediately focused on me and I could see he was confused.
"Urm…Captain, just wondering where you went earlier. You seemed to leave in quite a hurry but I think I can see who you were going to." The man stated.
"Yes…sorry about that." Jack apologised. "Things came up."
The man looked at Jack and then me. He was still completely confused.
"Urm…Ianto, could you gather Owen and Gwen and bring them here, along with yourself." Jack asked politely.
Ianto nodded before leaving.
"Now, I don't know what you're like around new people but you're about to meet some crazy jackasses." Jack said laughing.
"Who?" I asked, looking at him with a serious face.
"My colleges." He answered. I nodded.
A few minutes later there was a knock at the door and a few muffled voices from the other side.
"Come in!" Jack called, similar to last time.
The door opened and Ianto walked in with two others. Guessing they were Owen and Gwen as Jack said earlier.
"You wanted to see us?" Gwen said, straight away eyeing me out.
"Yes. Ianto, Gwen, Owen…I would all like you to meet Ellie." He paused. "My daughter." Jack finished eventually.
"Your –daughter!?" Gwen asked, rather shocked.
"Yeah…I didn't know about her either until about a week ago when I went looking for her mum, Helen Stevens." Jack explained.
"Do they know?" I whispered to Jack. He looked at me with a confused expression.
"About why I'm here and what happened." I murmured, making more sense of my previous statement.
"No." He responded.
"Something you wanna tell us Jack?" Owen asked.
"The reason I have brought Ellie here is because her parents died earlier today. They were murdered by a similar race to us who hunt people like Helen. Now they're after Ellie and I feel she'll be safer if she's with me." Jack explained.
"What race?" Owen asked.
"Luvendan." Jack said.
What the hell were they talking about?
"From Lovir VI?"Gwen asked. (And if you don't know Roman Numerals then VI is 6)
I looked at Jack who immediately nodded. He looked at me to see me trying to assimilate everything they had all said.
"Ellie, do you have any questions?" He asked me. I nodded.
"What is Torchwood and what exactly do you do here?" I enquired.
"We're outside the government and beyond the police. We fight for the future of the human race." He answered.
"Do you know how silly that sounds?" I said. He nodded.
"When you say 'fight'…what is it you're fighting exactly?" I quizzed.
"Species from other planets." He said casually.
"Aliens?!" I posed.
"Yep." He answered.
"I mean, I know I believe in all this alien crap but how do you lot take all of this so well…?" I questioned, looking at Gwen, Owen and Ianto.
"Language!" Jack warned.
"Sorry, I picked it up from Martin." I answered. "Well?" I asked, getting back to my question.
"Because we're Torchwood." Owen said happily.
I looked at Jack who smiled and I smiled back.
I was weird and so were they. They believed in aliens and so did I. I think I'm going to fit in here rather well.
So this is a rather short chapter, I'm well aware. My reason: It's a chapter purely showing the team meeting Ellie. Everyone's thoughts about Ellie will be revealed throughout the next few chapters.
