Miracle Day- Blood Battle- Part 2

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa." Jack said, holding his hands up as the guards roughly grabbed the team and I. Two guards had to hold my arms behind my back in order to keep me from running to Jack. I winced as another contraction hit, but I could easily pass it off as one of the guards holding me to tightly.

"Jack, I know how your mind works. Even now you're ferociously calculating how you can get your blood to the other side of the world. But I can't allow that. Absolutely not." The mother said.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. I'm warning you, I'll do it." Danes said, his finger now lower to the button that would explode his vest.

"Then I'll die. And that's a shame, because you can blast his blood into that wall and it won't make any difference at all."

The henchmen not holding us cock their weapons at us. The same is happening to Rex, Esther and Vera.

"Listen to me!" Rex yelled.

"I'll do it! I'll do it!" Danes yelled.

"Wait a minute! If you need the blood of Jack Harkness on the other side of the world, then just-"

"I'll do it!" Danes interrupted Rex.

"Just listen to me! Jack! All right. I'm all right. As I was saying, if you need Jack's blood, how about this?" Rex cuts his finger, and the blood flows to the cleft. The ground shudders.

The mother looked around frantically. "What was that? What happened?"

"Rex, what did you do?" Vera asked.

"That's impossible. No way. There's nothing special about you." The Cousin said.

"Oh, but there is, when I've got Jack's blood flowing through my veins. It's inside me." Rex said and I smiled.

"What?" Vera asked him.

"Oh, my God." Jack said, looking between Rex and me, knowing what I had done.

"See, we knew this blood was important, so as soon as we arrived-" Rex started.

"We transfused it into Rex, per Susan's instructions. We exchanged his blood for Jack's." Esther said.

"On most days it might've killed me. But we're all living on Miracle Day." Rex said.

"And everyone thought the blood was gone, so no one even suspected. All we did was keep one final bag, filled the rest with Rex's blood, and Jack's mortal blood-" Vera said.

"Just walked right in. Hey, Oswald, you want to be a walking bomb?" Rex asked.

"Get him out of there!" The Mother ordered the guards.

"Well, try this. Shoot me! Shoot me! Come on! Shoot me!Rex said, pounding on his chest with his fists.

"Don't! Don't! Don't!" The Cousin yelled at his guards.

"Pull that trigger! Splatter my blood! Shoot me!" Rex yelled.

"Get him out! Get him out!" The Mother yelled to the cousin.

Jack produced a gun and held it to his head. "Nobody move! Huh? Wow, Rex you're a genius!"

"It was Susan's plan. You just shut the hell up. All right?" Rex hence. "This shit hurts."

"Yeah, we've got blood on both sides of the world, Jack, but-" Owen started.

"But they will die. Is that what you want? The Blessing will take every last drop. You'll both die, gentlemen. You'll both kill yourselves. You will die in a pit in Shanghai. Is that what you want?" The mother glanced at me. "Is that what your wife with her unborn child wants?"

Jack hesitated. Then, "I think I've lived long enough. Are you ready, Rex?" To me Jack said in my head, I'm sorry. I love you.

"Oh, you know I wish I'd never met you, you World War Two idiot. Good times, huh?" Rex asked.

Silent tears streamed down my face. No matter how many times Jack died, it still hurt. Love you too. I said.

"Yeah." Esther said.

"Love you Rex." Vera said, which startled Rex abit.

"I'll see ya." Rex said.

"Just one last thing, Jack." Gwen said.

Jack looked at Gwen. "What is it?"

"You're never gonna be a suicide." Gwen aims her gun at Jack. Gwen looked at me and I nodded my head, not taking my eyes off of Jack.

Jack smiled. "Thank you."

"Bye, then." Gwen said.

"Bye." Jack said. "Susan-"

I gave Jack a watery smile. "Yeah. Me too."

"Face front." Gwen commanded and Jack did so.

"This is it, Rex." Jack said.

"Nothing's gonna stop me." Rex said.

The Cousin smirked and pulled out a gun. "I think this might." The Cousin shoots Vera.

"No! No! No!" Rex yelled, rushing to Vera's side.

"What was that?" Tosh yelled.

"Rex, what was that?" Jack asked.

"You bastard! You son of a bitch! Vera, come here. Oh, God." Rex said.

"These are the days of the Miracle, Mister Matheson. She can't die, and we have infinite resources. We can help her. We can make her better." The Cousin said.

"If the Miracle ends, she dies. Is that what you want? All of you with your fine and noble deaths, do you really want to bring about hers?" The Mother asked.

"Jack, what do I do?" Rex asked.

"I don't know." Jack said.

"Oh God, what do I do? What do I do?"

"I'll tell you what you do, Rex. You carry on. Keep going back to the plan." Gwen said.

"We'll kill her." Jack told Gwen.

"I know."

"This is Vera we're talking about."

"Yes, I know it's Vera, and it's everyone who's ever gonna die. But, Rex, we've got to do this and I'm gonna tell you why. Because I'm standing here and I'm staring at Oswald Danes. And he chose when that girl lived and he chose when that girl died. And no one should have that power. Not the rich, not the mad, not anyone."

Danes smirked. "You're choosing now."

"Yeah, you watch me." Gwen snapped.

"You'll kill Jack, Rex and that girl Vera."

"Yeah." Gwen said.

"Oh, you are magnificent." Danes purred.

"Ready? Rex!" Gwen asked.

Rex kisses Vera goodbye, stands up and nods to Esther who was still being held by guards with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry. Yeah."

"I'm so sorry." Gwen said.

"Don't do it! Don't!" The Mother telled.

"Don't do it! You'll kill her!" The Cousin yelled.

Gwen shoots Jack in the back, creating a big exit wound in his chest. Rex pulls off his bandage. Their blood streams into the two ends of the cleft. The chambers tremble and the guards panic.

In the panic, the guards released me and I ran straight for Jack, collapsing beside him and turning him over, checking for a pulse. There was none. I found Gwen at my side as she also checked for a pulse and found none.

"I am so sorry Susan." Gwen said, crying then she grabs me by the arms and tries to pull me away.

"No!" I yelled, trying to cling to Jack.

"Susan, we have to go!" Gwen said through sobbing. "The building is going to collapse! The baby, think of the baby!"

At the word baby, I had another contraction, They seemed to be getting closer now. I groaned and clutched my stomach.

At my action she let go of my arm. "Susan, what is it? Tell me!"

"The baby." I gasped. "Contractions."

Gwen's eyes widened. "How long have you been having them?" I didn't answer because of the pain. "How long?!" Gwen yelled.

"Day and a half." I got out.

"What the hell, Susan!" Gwen yelled at me. Gwen glanced over her shoulder at the rest of the group. "Owen, help me with Susan! She's been having contractions this whole goddam time!"

Owen gaped at me like an idiot and ran over. "What the bloody hell, Susan." Owen said. As Owen and Gwen helped me to stand Oswald Danes grabbed the mother and held her close to him. "Go!" Danes yelled at us.

"No!" Mother yelled.

"I'm giving you this one chance." Danes yelled.

"I'll give you estates. I'll give you places to hunt." Mother yelled.

Just then Jack came back to life.

On the screen The Cousin is gathering up the laptop and papers when Rex grabs him. "Hey, guess what. Death came back."

"No!" Cousin yelled as Rex throws him into the cleft.

Tosh knocks out Jilly.

"Better run, Torchwood! I'm taking this thing with me. The whole thing!" Danes yelled.

"Please! For God's sake, help me. Help me!" The mother yelled.

Jack stood up and saw Owen and Gwen helping me over to the lift. Jack ran over to me and Jack took Gwen's place. "Susan, what's wrong?" Jack asked.

"She's been having contractions this whole damn time." Gwen snapped at Jack.

"What!?" Jack yelped. We stepped into the lift with Ianto and Tosh and Tosh pressed ground level and we sped upward. "Susan, you've been having contractions this whole entire time?" Jack asked me.

I breathed in and out slowly. "Because if I told you, you would have never let me come."

"Youre damn right." Jack said.

"Then afterwards, you wouldn't have let me near any of this!"

"Well of course I wouldn't have!" Jack said.

"Okay, we'll talk about this later!" Gwen said as the door opened. "Now we run!"

"How the hell am I supposed to run?!" I exclaimed. My eyes widened. "The vortex manipulator!"

"I don't know how that will affect your condition." Jack argued.

"This place is about to blow and I can't run. Do it!"

Jack sighed and held his arm out and typed in the coordinates of the Torchwood Base in Cardiff. Everyone grabbed onto each other and we disappeared.
