A/N:As promised, an extra chapter. Can you guys believe it's been a whole year since I started uploading this? Cause I can't...

In case you haven't seen it yet, I uploaded a Fanfic Trailer I made for this story, make sure you check it out on my Tumblr (mayalr96, Fandoms All Day)


All of the sudden, the lights were on and Jack put a hand around Eva's waist as Ianto exited Adam's file, taking a folder and looking through it. Owen came in, carrying flowers and he barely did more than nod at the three of them before putting the flowers on Tosh's desk and heading away.

Tosh and Adam walked in and Eva held Jack tighter, but his arm didn't waver and he didn't move. They watched silently as Owen came back, apologizing to Tosh about something that happened and Tosh smiled at him, but not with the usual warmness Tosh held within her.

Gwen arrived, saying that things were better with her and Rhys and as Adam hugged her, Eva's hands trembled.

He hurt them. He hurt Jack's family and, by extension, her family. She wanted to make him suffer.

She pulled the gun out of Jack's belt and took off the safety, aiming it at Adam's head.

"Talk to us, Adam," Jack said, his arm still around her. "If that's even your name."

"What?" Adam asked, a nervous smile on his face.

"What is she doing, Jack?" Gwen asked. "Who is she?"

"You know who she is," Jack said. "You met her, we all met her. You just don't remember."

"He's not who you think he is," Eva said, her voice shaking. "He's been feeding himself into your memories, by touch. That's why you forget.

"Is this some kind of sick joke?" Tosh asked.

"He didn't exist until two days ago," Jack said.

"Can somebody tell me what's going on, please?" Adam asked.

"Jack, we've known him for years," Owen said. "He is part of the team."

"No," Eva said. "He just made you think that."

"Come on, love," Adam said, reaching out a hand only for Eva to back away, fixing her aim.

"If you touch me I will fucking kill you," she threatened. "An hour ago I was making breakfast for my boyfriend and half an hour ago, my dad tried to kill me, because of you. Think twice if I'm a girl you want to annoy right now."

"Jack," Adam said, turning to the man in question. "You know me. You recruited me three years ago."

"When I think of my team I see you there," Jack admitted. "But I don't feel anything for you. Quite the opposite of what happened with Evie. No pride, no warmth... You, the one who I can confide in, the one who unburied the dead."

"Jack, maybe you've forgotten him," Gwen offered. "Like I did with Rhys?"

"No," Jack said. "Because I now know how that feels. And Eva knows how Rhys feels, only worse, a hundred times worse. I nearly killed her," he whispered. "I was halfway into locking her up in the cold storage cells when she called me, 'Dad'. That kind of emotion can't be faked. And if Evie says it's because of you, I believe her."

"By making you think you know him, he disturbs your real memories," Eva explained. "Changes you. Makes you forget."

"I have no idea what you're talking about –"

"We're taking him to the vaults," Jack ordered, pulling Adam into a standing position.

"Jack, this is ridiculous –" Gwen started, before stopping at the sight of Tosh aiming a gun at Eva.

"Go ahead," Eva mocked. "Shoot me and I shoot him. Or we can just lock him up, and nobody would be harmed."

"Why should I believe you?" Tosh asked.

"Tosh," Jack said, "Tosh, we can talk about this."

"Drop the gun, bitch!" Tosh called out, ready to pull the trigger when Ianto took the gun from her hands.

"Get off me!" Tosh called out.

"This is what you've done to us," Jack told Adam, pushing him away. "Move."

EMH

"Don't kill me," Adam said from within his cell. "I had to become part of your memories in order to survive. I didn't mean any harm."

"You've changed us," Jack said.

"For the better!" Adam told him. "You didn't remember who you were. You were feeling so much guilt. I helped you. Look at Owen, all his cynicism gone. He's a different man now. Selfless, happier. And Toshiko, too – she's never been this confident."

"How did you come here?" Jack asked. "Why us?"

"All of you have such unique memories," Adam said. "Especially you, Jack. All those extraordinary memories you hold – some hidden, some absent. Your singular mind," he concluded. "That's what drew me here."

"Good job," Jack said, putting a hand on the glass between them. "It's what we do best... wipe out aliens."

"You can't shoot me!" Adam called out. "You made me live."

"I didn't," Eva said. "And I'll have no problem killing you right now."

"I deleted the memories that caused you the most guilt, Jack," Adam said, ignoring her. "Why does you own daughter, your own flesh, make you feel so guilty?"

Jack looked at him emotionlessly.

"Spoilers," he said before pulling Eva out, protecting her like a lioness protects her cubs.

EMH

"Our memories define us," Jack told his team as they all sat in the conference room. "Adam changed those memories... changed who we are. Now I have to help you all go back, find a memory that defines you. Rediscover who you are. If I'm wrong," he said, looking at Tosh, "He'll still be here when we've done this."

"You're not wrong," Eva said from where she stood. "I know so."

Jack nodded at her before turning back to his team. "Let me take you back to before we all met," he said. "Feel around for anything that makes you what you are... the hidden and the forgotten. Tell me where you are."

"The college canteen." Gwen was the first to speak. "Rhys is sitting opposite me, telling stupid jokes."

"It's my birthday," Owen said, and Eva's heart broke, knowing what he was going to say. "I'm ten. Mum spends the whole day screaming, 'I love you because you're my son... but that doesn't mean I have to like you'."

"Maths club," Tosh whispered. "Something so reliable about maths... always the right answer."

"Meeting Lisa," Ianto remembered. "Falling in love, never felt so alive."

"I turn 16." Owen again. "She packs my bags. That is the nicest thing you've done for me in years, Mother."

"Kissing him in the supermarket," Gwen remembered. "The look on his face."

"My first flat," Toshiko said. "I don't have a flat-warming. There's no-one I want to invite."

"Losing Lisa," Ianto said in a shaky voice. "Like the world had ended."

"The way he looks at me sometimes," Gwen muttered. "As if he's scared of what he feels for me. I love him." She turned to look at Jack. "But not in the way I love you."

"Take this," Jack said, handing her a Retcon pill.

"Knowing there has to be more to life than this," Tosh said. "Knowing I'm special, waiting for someone to see it."

"We see it," Eva said, giving her a Retcon pill as well.

"You save one life," Owen whispered. "A hundred lives but it's never enough. Who'll save me?"

"I will," Jack said, giving him another pill.

"Coming here gave me meaning again," Ianto said, looking at Jack as Eva slipped a pill into his hand. "You."

"You each have a short-term amnesia pill," Jack explained. "It'll make you forget Adam. We have to wipe out the last 48 hours from our memories. Go back to who we were."

Ianto was the first, obediently reaching out for his pill and taking it without hesitation. Gwen was next, taking her pill with a sense of determinism, wanting to remember Rhys again. Owen's hands were shaking, his eyes never leaving Tosh as he took off the ridiculous glasses he was wearing and swallowed his pill.

Tosh opened up the security footage of Adam's cell, looking at him as he shook.

"I'm going to lose so much," she cried.

"None of it was real," Eva told her softly.

"He loved me," Tosh said. "And I loved him. It's no different from real memory."

"He forced it on you," Jack said. "You have to let it go."

Toshiko sent one last look to the screen before sitting down, taking her pill.

"Goodbye, Adam," she whispered, laying down her head and closing her eyes.

Eva looked up from the tear-stained face and at Jack, who reached out a hand for her.

"We're not done yet," he said.

"We're getting there," Eva said shakily, accepting the offered hand and allowing him to lead her downstairs.

EMH

"Just us left."

Adam was sitting in his cell, his body covered in cold sweat and his eyes haunted as he looked up at Eva and Jack.

"I know what it's like not to exist," he told them with a shaking voice. "Please don't send me back there."

"We have to," Jack said, and Adam took a shaky breath.

"What are you going to do?" he asked.

Eva and Jack each raised a pill for Adam to see.

"This will wipe out the past two days for me, and the last twelve hours for Eva," Jack replied.

"Well, you'll still keep the bad memories," Adam said. "Because they were always yours. But what about the good times, Jack? What about the last good memory of you and your dad?" He turned to look at Eva. "What about your childhood, the things erased from your memory?"

"It's lost," Eva said sternly.

"I can help you find it," Adam told them. "I can take you back there. Before I die."

"Why would you do that?"

"I was in the void for so long, the colours of this world almost blinded me, Jack," Adam replied. "It was so beautiful after the darkness and the stench of fear. You gave me that. Let me do this for you."

"Or," Eva said shakily, "You'll just implant yourself into our memories, making it so that as long as we remembered it, you were still alive."

Jack looked at Eva, shocked, before raising his pill.

"I don't want to die!" Adam called out. "You take that pill and you will lose everything. No more hope for memories of your father. He will cease to have existed for you."

"No, he won't," Eva said. "Because I already know the story, and it's not something I'll forget."

She held hands with Jack as they both raised the pill to their lips.

"Goodbye, Adam," Jack whispered.

The father and daughter simultaneously took the pill, watching as the man in the cell blinked out of existence. Jack sunk to the floor, and Eva sat next to him, resting her head on his shoulder.

Moments later, they were asleep.

EMH

Eva's eyes fluttered open, her body screaming at sore muscles and tired bones. She cranked her neck, feeling the pressure subsiding before looking around her, trying to understand where she was.

The last thing she remembered was being with the War Doctor, cooking them breakfast, when her locket glowed. Did she hit her head when she arrived?

She looked to her side, seeing Jack blinking back into awareness. She was in Torchwood, then. The only question was when she ended up.

"Evie?" Jack muttered. "When did you get here?"

"No idea," Eva replied. "What happened?"

"Not a clue," Jack shrugged. "But whatever it was, we ended up next to the locking cells."

"If it were anyone but me, I'd have told you to make sure the cameras didn't record whatever happened here," Eva snickered.

"Shut up," Jack said, slowly standing up. "There must be a couple more."

"Like whom?" Eva questioned, taking the hand Jack offered her and standing up.

"I don't know," Jack shrugged. "Martha. Francine. Clyde."

"Oh, shut up," Eva laughed. "You're telling me that if the opportunity ever presented itself...?"

"Well..." Jack shrugged. "Maybe Martha. It's different with Francine and Clyde, because of... well, you know."

"Right," Eva said, remembering the three, along with Tish, had spent the Year That Never Was aboard the Valliant with the Master. "I haven't been there yet," she admitted. "I know I'd have stopped it if I could."

"You tried," Jack said tiredly. "You really did, but... there was nothing we could have done. Let's head upstairs," he added, shaking off the memories, and Eva smiled, placing her hand in his.

"Jack," Gwen said as soon as she saw him. "How have we lost two days?"

"What do you mean?" Jack asked.

"The last 48 hours," Ianto said. "None of us can remember a thing. Eva," he greeted. "When did you get here?"

"Probably during the past forty eight hours," Eva shrugged. "Have you got nothing on it?"

"The system's blank," Tosh said. "The CCIV's been wiped. What's been going on? What've we been doing?"

"I... don't know," Jack admitted. "Eva?"

Eva strained her mind, trying to remember when was it that the Torchwood team lost forty eight hours of their lives. The only thing she could think of was... but if she was right, then...

"There's a reason you can't remember," she said cautiously. "You made yourselves forget."

"Great!" Owen bit out sarcastically. "That's two days of my life that I'll never get back!"

"Looks like Toshiko got herself a secret admirer, though," Jack said, nodding at the flowers next to Tosh.

"'To Tosh,'" the woman read aloud. "'Love and apologies, Owen.' They're from you!" she exclaimed.

"In your dreams, Tosh," Owen said with an eye roll. "I think someone's winding you up, darling – No, I don't do flowers... and I definitely don't do apologies."

"What was that about?" Jack muttered as he watched him walk away.

"You're better off not knowing," Eva replied with a sigh.

"But you know?" Jack questioned.

"Yes."

"How is that fair?" Jack questioned.

"I never said it was," Eva retorted. "Deal with it."

"Not for me," Jack sighed. "It's unfair to you. You just know all of these things, everything."

"Well, there isn't much I can do about it, is there?" Eva questioned. "I'm travelling around – perhaps not knowing where I'll end up, but once I'm there I know what's going to happen. I've learned to deal with it."

Jack frowned. "How long have you been here?" he asked.

"Seven months, give or take," Eva shrugged. "Though during six of them I was stuck in Victorian London."

"I remember that story," Jack smiled. "Thanks to you, I have a job."

"Well, thanks to the Doctor, the Queen probably hated me," Eva replied. "I still can't believe she built an entire organization destined to keep him out of Britain – and I knew it was going to happen before I even met her."

"How?" Jack questioned. "How do you know all of these things?"

"I'm pretty sure it counts as spoilers," Eva sighed. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Jack told her. "I understand... sort of. Well, do you want to go to your apartment?"

Eva stopped, turning to stare at him.

"I have a flat?" she asked.

"You have quite a few," Jack replied. "One here, in Cardiff, one in London, one in Leadworth – god knows why – another in Iowa, of all places, and a summerhouse in Greece." Eva gaped at him, and he shrugged. "I saved up quite a lot of money during the past century, and I like buying you things. Though I do believe most of these were strategic, because you made certain that both the one in Iowa and the one in London were under one of our names before 1969."

"Four flats?" Eva asked, shocked. "Four flats and a summerhouse?"

"You're my daughter," Jack shrugged. "I'm allowed to buy you things."

"Yes, but these are expensive things," Eva said.

"Well, I rent most of them nowadays," Jack said. "It's good money."

"It better be," Eva muttered.

"I already earned back their worth and more," Jack told her. "Don't let it bother you. Now, do you want to see your apartment?"

Eva let a small smile slip onto her lips. "Definitely," she said, linking arms with her father.

"Alright," Jack said, smiling. "Off we go."
