The hidden Rose

Chapter 1

Rose Tyler comes to Broadchurch to avoid her new status of being the Vitex heiress when someone discovers there was no Rose Tyler ever born and threatens to expose her as an alien in a xenophobic world so Pete enlists the help of a small town police force to keep her hidden, putting Alec Hardy in charge of it. There's just one catch – he's to be her new husband. Inspired by Alec Hardy putting Claire Ripley into unofficial witness protection.

There has always been a question of how Rose was so easily accepted into the alternate universe so maybe she wasn't? The inspiration for this story comes mostly from some of my other stories so some parts may seem familiar as I have expanded on them. Did you wonder what Alec Hardy had been doing while waiting for the trial to start? Inspired also by 'You only live twice' where James Bond gets married to go undercover and Alec Hardy putting Claire Ripley into unofficial witness protection.

There was a lot of discussion going on in the Tyler residence, particularly from Jackie Tyler, who was more than upset at her husbands decision – to send Rose away. Neither Jackie or Rose had got used to this world running ahead of their own, both had lost three years of their lives, Jackie had given birth to a boy, Tony and in their world, it was 2013.

Pete had stuck to both his new wife and his now stepdaughters' original birthdays, Jackie objected at first since she was only 40 but since she had replaced the original Jackie who had been 40 before she died and whose birthday party had been crashed by the Cybermen, Pete argued she couldn't just come back as the same age.

Rose's new life in what they affectionately called 'Pete's world' since Rose and the Doctor accidentally crash landed and Rose and her mother's sudden unexpected return several years ago thanks to the Daleks and Cybermen had never been easy. While Mickey and Jackie had taken to life here like ducks to water, Rose had not had an easy time.

An elaborate plan had been put into force just after their arrival, Jackie had been easy to take the place of Pete's first wife though she was not happy about the woman's treatment of him and had said it was a good job she was no longer around. The problem was Rose. There had never been a Rose Tyler ever born for her to replace. They had come up with all kinds of reasons for her sudden appearance from adoption to a secret child but they had decided for the matter to remain a secret and a press blackout had been put into place.

Pete Tyler had the money and the power to do it and only a selected few, being Mickey and Jake and a Dr Owen Harper at Torchwood knew the truth. Now they were faced with another dilemma. Someone had sent an anonymous letter to Pete saying they knew Rose was not who she appeared to be and it didn't appear to be coming from the press.

Pete had Jake run some discreet enquiries to the top newspapers and even Mickey had been roped in but they could not find out where the accusations had come from. It appeared whoever it was didn't want a big payoff or using physical threats against her – they were threatening to have her declared an alien and have her thrown in prison for the rest of her life as this world did not take too kindly to anyone not born on this world since the Cybermen invasion.

Just after the invasion and they were all locked up, the governments of the world had made a treaty that anyone not from earth would be tried and imprisoned and would not get the benefits of what was on offer from a now peaceful planet. Torchwood was instrumental in the treaty – for allowing the Cybermen to infiltrate them and escape and no-one cared where they had gone to, they were just glad to be rid of them so the organisation had been rebuilt by Pete Tyler with the help of Jake and Mickey and Pete was able to cover up the fact he had rescued Rose and Jackie from certain death on the other side of the void.

While Torchwood had free reign, world government approved, they had to submit a report every year that any alien threats had been dealt with and any intrusions curbed and that any alien beings had been sent packing with a warning never to return and so far, they had been successful.
