You see a blinding light and suddenly you're standing in a room full technology you've never seen before. The man lets you go and you start hyperventilating.

"Woah there, calm down. I know, I'm attractive." You turn around and see him smirking.

"Jack, I think she's hyperventilating." A woman with dark brown hair kneels in front of you.

"It's okay sweetheart, take a deep breath." She speaks softly, calming you down. "What the hell did you do?" She stands up, angrily speaking to the man, who you presume to be Jack.

"Just took her here!" He puts his hands up in surrender. You take a few more deep breaths before turning back to the women.

"What's going on?" You ask timidly.

"It's complicated. Here, take a seat. I'll get you a glass of water and we'll talk." She points towards a chair and walks off, leaving you alone with the man.

"Hey, I'm sorry about that." He takes a seat a few feet away from you, just far enough away for your comfort.

You just nod, not totally trusting your voice.

"Captain Jack Harkness, and you are?" He puts on what you think is a flirting face... and then puts out a hand, for a handshake.

"Y/n... and I don't really do physical contact." You lower your voice towards the end.

"Ohh. Sorry." You see realization flash through his face.

"Here you go sweetheart." The woman hands you the water. "I'm Gwen by the way." She takes a seat next to Jack.

"Y/n." You say, taking a small sip. "Can you explain..." you give a small hand gesture.

"Ah, yes." She smiles. "You know the Doctor?" She raises an eyebrow. You nod. "You've seen the cyber men?" You nod again, assuming those were the robots in the streets.

"We've been trying to reach the Doctor the moment we registered their life forms, quite a few months ago." Jack starts talking. "However, we've been unable to make contact with her. We keep track of the Doctor and who has traveled with her, and we found you. That's why I took you here, we were hoping you could help us find him.. her." He finishes.

"Do you know anything, where he said he was going next, how to reach him... her?" Gwen asks, raising her tone from a gently one to a confused one at Jack, flashing a confused look at him when she realizes he said her. You ignore their looks, trying to keep it together.

"No... she left me home and said she'd come back in six months... it's been four years." You say quietly.

"I'm so sorry." You see sympathy in her eyes.

"I will help you however-" your cut short by a woman running into the room.

"We got a message." She says, gasping before looking at you.

"And?" Jack raises an eyebrow.

"A woman. She said we have one hour before the graves of Earth open." She says, a look of confusion crossing her face.

"And the cyber men?" Gwen asks.

"They've stopped marching. They're just standing in the middle of the roads." Gwen gives her a nod. The woman looks to you.

"And you are?" She asks.

"Y/n." You answer, more certainty in your voice.

"Martha Jones." She offers you a hand.

"I don't do physical contact." You respond, your voice faltering at the end.

"Oh, sorry." She looks back to Jack and Gwen.
