The Last Halloween [Torchwood]

The Last Halloween

Gwen's POV

"I don't want to go out Rhys! I just want to stay in" I say exasperated. I really didn't like Halloween and was about to start to argue it even more when my mobile rang. "Yes Jack what is it?" I say answering it and shushing Rhys who was trying to convince me to put on my 1920s flapper girl dress. "Weevils are kidnapping children we need you down at the institute right away. Bring a costume." Then he hangs up. "Oh fine give me the costume. You haven't heard the end of this you know but Jack needs me at Torchwood. See you later love" I say grabbing the keys to the flat and walking out the door.

Owen's POV

Just great not only did I have to put on a costume but I also was being forced to be civil when I intended to spend Halloween at home, at least my old Batman costume fit. I sigh as I walk out to my station in the Torchwood hub. "Why Owen you look so much like a hero its hard to tell its you" jokes Tosh. "Why yes I can see why its could be hard to tell the deference between a buff movie star and me uncanny even" I reply giving her a sarcastic look. "Well no reason to get sarcastic with me" she say turning back to her work on the rift. I examine her costume. Joan Watson from America's version of Sherlock Holmes called Elementary. " I didn't peg you as being a fan of american telly. Though I like the costume" I say attempting at small talk "Thank you Owen though I quite enjoy Elementary I do find it slightly boring compared to our lives." she says without even looking up from her workstation. Well so much for that.

Gwen's POV

I walk into the hub and head for my workstation but see Batman and Joan Watson having a conversation and decide to find Jack instead.

Oh my god. Jack was dressed up in a tweed pinstriped suit and red converse... like the pictures he had shown me of The Doctor. Jack was dressed as the Doctor and Ianto was still in his usual suit and tie. "Gwen can you please tell Ianto that he has to put on a costume or I will ban him from going weevil hunting with us?" says Jack turning to me. I give Ianto a look and he hastily explains "I just have never liked Halloween. I have only dressed up once in my life and that was a mistake". I sigh and look at him "Ianto Halloween is Jack favorite holiday the least you could do is put on a costume."

"I don't even own a costume." Ianto argues

"No problem, I have one for you" says Jack walking into his office.

"Why am I not surprised" says Ianto following him in. I don't go into the office, I had seen plenty of those two in that office from the last time I had gone in.

After changing into my costume I go and grab a few extra weapons from the weapons room and meet Jack and the rest of the team near the garage. And Ianto was dressed as a world war II navy commander.... Oh wait.. Ianto was dressed up as Captain Jack! "I cant believe I am doing this" grumbled Ianto whilst I rolled my eyes. "What is it that bad the thought of going out looking like me?" jokes Jack as we get in the car.

We made an interesting team.

One heavily armed Flapper girl in heels(worst things ever). Joan Watson with a mag gun. Ianto as Jack Batman and Jack as the Doctor.

Check that weirdest team ever.

"Gwen, Tosh go take the left side of the street. Owen, Ianto take the right." says Jack loading up on ammo. "And where will you be Sir?" asked Ianto.

"Underground" he replys with a smirk the he winks and drops himself down a storm drain.

Jack's POV

I hurried down the tunnels headed for the Weevil nest my scanners were showing to be located at the end of the sewer. Bam! I tumbled down as a weevil slammed into my side and started attacking me. I elbowed him attempting to get him off me when he got a lucky shot and shoved me to the ground breaking my neck. Slowly I died.

"Huuuuh! I gasp sitting up in the middle of a cage. Thank Rose for immortality because that was nasty. I feel the back of my head and I am not surprised that there is a lot of blood caked on back there though the wound was long gone. I look around and notice the weevils all around me. " Wow didn't know I warranted a party" I say before getting attacked. It was a mad house I defended myself the best I could but even I couldn't take on so many weevils at a time. I thought I was gonna be weevil dinner when I heard Owen "OI! Nock it off!" he says barreling through them to reach me. "The only good part about this dumb job of being King of the Weevils is telling them to back off." I hear him mutter under his breath. Then he yells "If I find one more weevil out of the tunnels tonight I will be extremely mad! No one want to see me mad. Do ya?" He looks at all the weevils as they all back down and bow. "Come on Tosh and Gwen got ambushed. Ianto is with them lets go" he drops the subject and I follow him at a run to the girls and Ianto.

Gwen's POV

I was actually enjoying myself. The side of the street we had gotten was a shopping outlet and they merchants were giving away candy I was having a piece as Tosh screams and disappears from behind me. I whip around pulling out my gun and cussing when I noticed the smell in the air acidic...? Like a Time Portal Transmitter! They had taken Tosh through a portal. I ran towards where she had disappeared and scream too. I felt my self get ripped out of time unnaturally and shoved into another.

I look around and don't notice anything out of the ordinary till I noticed Tosh on a stick being pulled through the middle of a town. The people around her were chanting "WITCH! WITCH! WITCH!" and setting her in the middle of a bunch of logs. I run towards her and rush up in the middle of all excitement. From the clothes I was gonna guess 15th century. I knew we were not actually here but I also know we can get hurt here. Because that's how a Time Portal Transmitter worked. It sent your subconscious back in time but technically your body was stored somewhere else. I look around and see about a half a dozen kids in modern clothes huddled looking terrified behind all the adults. I know what had to be done to wake us up on our current time and real body's but I also knew that it would be bad upon waking.

I pull out my gun and shoot Tosh in the knee. I then run to the kids and do the same thing knowing it ended them being here but I still felt horrid doing it. After all the kids were shot and slowly waking up I brace myself then shoot myself in the knee.

I wake up screaming in a laboratory. "Well you took your time" I hear Owen say from across the room while he was leaning over a little girl who I had shoot. I felt horrible though I knew the only way to wake them up was to give them a life threatening injury. My knee however was screaming. I think I shattered the kneecap which would not be good. Owen walked up to me and looked at my knee. "Not broken you are extremely lucky you are the only one not to shatter their kneecap. You are a little to good a shot" he says dryly then he gives me a emergency kit and goes to the next child.

I am bandaging my knee when Jack walks in after having gotten off the mobile. He walks up to me and asks what happened and I tell him. "Weevils don't have this sort of technology. We need to find out who is really behind all this" I say gesturing to all the poor kids around me. "I had to shoot innocent children because of what just happened. I will not let this rest Jack. " I finish looking hime dead in the eye daring him to defy me "We will get to the bottom off this. I am going to be doing a massive RETCON use on all of the children. Don't worry Gwen they won't remember a thing."

I sigh as I get into bed later that night. Typical day at Torchwood. Bloody Effin Torchwood.

"You okay? Rhys mumbles turning over. "No" I say wincing. The pain from shooting myself would be with me for awhile. I snuggle into Rhys "No everything is not okay." I say then I fall asleep.
