"Her name is Taytum Cooper, she's from England, she's twenty-three and has no idea how she came to the states." Kyra hugged the clothes she carried closer to her body. "We don't even know how she got here. She claimed she was fighting," she thought for a minute, "I don't remember their name, but I'm pretty sure it's what you called Barbara. She said they appeared out of nowhere."

Avery nodded, "Did she happen to mention anything about the anomaly?" Kyra shook her head but didn't answer. "The reports from the soldiers weren't very informative. Have they rounded up the last of the escape artists?"

Kyra smiled a glowing smile that made her look younger, "They have. They are all in the cells downstairs. Ma'am, they caught a dinosaur. How exciting is that?"

She laughed; the Welsh girl's giddiness was catchy, "Extremely. We will have to check it out." Avery stopped suddenly in front of a white door, "But first, we have to see what Miss. Keller knows." She held the door open for Kyra before walking in herself.

The English girl looked away from the television with a smile, "American telly is just so fascinating!"

Kyra laughed as she laid the clothes on the edge of the bed, "You'll get used to it eventually. It took me forever." The Welsh girl looked at her boss with a shy smile, then back to the English girl, "Taytum, this is my boss Avery, Avery this is Taytum."

Taytum smiled, "Please, call me Tay. It's nice to finally meet you, I've heard so much. Your staff thinks very fondly of you."

Avery smiled, "Oh don't let them fool you. I'm the worst boss ever." She gave Taytum a little wink.

She laughed, "I could tell." She nodded to the chair, "Would you like to have a seat?"

Avery nodded and moved toward the chair as Kyra spoke, "I will leave you two to it I have a few things this horrible boss requires of me before I head home for the day." She smiled and walked to the door and waved bye before walking out.

Avery waited for the door to close before she spoke, "We brought you a change of clothes." She nodded to the end of the bed.

Excitement crossed Taytum's face, "Thank you. I was dreading putting on the ones I came in."

"Where bouts England are you from?"

"London."

Avery smiled, "It's beautiful there."

"You've been?"

Avery nodded, "I lived in Cardiff as a teenager, my friend and I traveled to London just about every day. I loved it there. "

"What brought you here to the states?"

A saddened smile crossed Avery's face, "I suppose it was change."

Taytum nodded, "Change is hard, especially when it's not the choice you would have made on your own." She took a minute to compose herself, "So what is this place?"

"It's called the Home Office. It's the American version of Unit. I built it from the ground up…"

Taytum raised a brow, "You built all this? So that means you're in charge?"

Avery laughed, "Yes Ma'am. I'm in charge of over four thousand people."

"I don't think I would be able to handle it all."

"The paper work is the worst." Avery rolled her eyes with a smile, "But it's not too bad. So Taytum Cooper, tell me, do you know anything about the anomaly?"

"The whatmaly?"

"The portal you came through. The men are calling it an anomaly; it's a deviation from the common rule, a type of abnormality. Something that is of an odd or strange situation." Avery explained.

"All I remember before waking up here is sitting at home when I received a call saying I was needed at work. We were under attack from hundreds of Weevils. One minute I was struggling and then the next, I'm waking up here."

"Do you work for Unit?"

Taytum shook her head with pressed lips, "No, I do freelance work for Torchwood London."

Avery raised an eyebrow, "Torchwood London?" Taytum nodded. "But," Avery shook her head in confusion, "I received a phone call that they were under attack as we speak. By Daleks and Cybermen not Weevils."

A sad smile swept over Taytum's face, ," Where I come from Torchwood is still standing, the anomaly must have brought me to another universe." Her smile softened a little, "You see, where I'm from, the battle of Canary Wharf never happened. No Cybermen, no Daleks, no ghosts, no breach in space and no invasion." She paused lost in thought, "Actually, on my side of the world, the stories of Canary Wharf are that it was destroyed last year."

Avery could see the pain and sadness in her eyes but chose to ignore it, "So you're saying the anomaly is a break in the universe?" Her eyes widened with excitement, "That's it! All those things that came through, they exist in a parallel universe but not here…" She looked at Taytum with a smile, "Get dressed I want to show you something." Avery walked over to the window that over looked the courtyard and stared out it, at nothing in particular, "You see, the thing is, we shouldn't be allowed to travel from universe to universe. But when there's a rip in time we get that rare chance. But each time we or something passes through, it weakens and rips more. With that weakness and time against it, it begins to destroy the world. We have to figure out why it appeared and then just vanished. We need to know what kind of damage its doing. We also need to figure out how to fix it."

When she turned around Taytum's back was facing her and she was just pulling her leather jacket up over the black tank top. Avery caught a glimpse of something on the English girls shoulder. "Have there been other anomalies?" Taytum asked as Avery walked up and pulled the jacket down so she could see it, Taytum spun around ripping the black leather out of her hand more forcefully than she intended, "The anomaly, is there a way we can check it out?"

Avery dropped her hand and shook her head, "No, it sealed up after you came through." She nodded her head towards the girl, "That mark, on your shoulder, it's not from here is it?" She asked.

"Do you have any ideas as to how or why I came through?"

"It's a mark you're born with when you come from the planet Talterex…"

"Did anything else besides me come out?" Taytum cut Avery off.

She could tell Taytum was avoiding her; she didn't want to push it and make the English girl mad so she walked to the door and held it open for her before walking out herself. "The void is breaking, and the universe is falling apart. You see, every single decision we make creates a parallel existence. Billions of parallel universes all stacked up against each other. The void is the space in between, containing absolutely nothing and now that void is unwillingly letting us pass from one universe to another." Avery stopped at a closed metal door and entered in the pass code, "That's explains how, but as for the why, I couldn't tell you. That's what I wanted to show you. There were a few other things that passed through the anomaly, besides you. "

"You caught things that passed through the portal?" Avery nodded with a smile, "Impressive."

They stopped again at another large door that required a pass cod, but this one was a heavy plastic, "This is where our holding cells are. They normally are pretty empty because we don't keep prisoners unless it's a last resort, but we have nowhere to keep the escape artists, so the best place was here." Avery smiled, "Every door on the lower level requires some type of pass code. I have to keep my staff safe."

The women were standing in front of the cell that held the sabortooth tiger, talking when Kyra came running up, hollering. Avery couldn't understand what she was saying until she was closer, "Ma'am! Ma'am! We have a problem."

Avery raised an eyebrow, "And what might that be?" Kyra held up the black phone with a smirk, "Okay, give me a minute Ky." She turned to Taytum with a small smile, "You are more than welcome to join our team until we can find you away home, if that's what you want."

Taytum smiled politely and shook her head, "I appreciate the gesture and everything you have done, I really do, but I need to find someone."

"We can offer our assistance if you like."

She shook her head again, "Thank you, but I have to do this on my own."

Avery held out her hand, "Let me see your mobile." Taytum pulled the phone out of her jacket pocket and handed it to her, "This is Kyra's personal number" she said pushing some buttons, "This is her personal extension, and this" she said looking up, "Is my direct line. If you need anything, and I mean anything at all, give us a call, no matter the hour. All of our resources are available to you."

Taytum smiled and hugged Avery, "Thank you." After pulling away she looked at Kyra, "Thank you for the clothes." She hugged the weary Welsh girl, "I hope to see both of you again."

Avery smiled, "Anytime Taytum Cooper, anytime. You are more than welcome to come back and visit. But please do keep my offer in mind. We can always use all the man power we can get. And I have a feeling you would make a great asset to our team." She looked around and smiled at the guard down the hall, "Devyn will show you the way out." Taytum's smile grew as she nodded. She followed the soldier out the doors without looking back. Avery turned to Kyra and held her hand out taking the phone. Avery turned and walked a few feet before stopping, "Kyra." Kyra looked away from the big cat and raised a brow, "I want you to find everything you possibly can about Taytum Cooper." She paused, "And Kyra, I want you to expand the search, look up the name Abzara" Kyra opened her mouth then closed it again as Avery shook her head, "Just a hunch. Now get on it, please." She smiled as Kyra ran off.

Avery put the phone to her ear but didn't say anything. She heard the faint clicking sounds of the leavers being pulled and the soft breathing of the person on the other end then they spoke softly, "The coordinates have been sent."
