I Can't Even

Chapter 13

So... Things were tense after that, but we had to keep working. Pretty soon, Martha found a lead and we went for it. I remembered that the Master had sent Torchwood on a "wild goose chase" so I told Jack to call them. He did and he said that they were on their way. I was going to meet Torchwood! But we had to tell the Doctor that he was working for Torchwood...

"Jack! How could you? After all they'd done?" he said after we explained.

"They're really nice people, and totally trustworthy," I defended. "Well..."

"Well what?" asked the Doctor and Jack in unison.

Should I tell them? Nah. I've already screwed things up enough. "Let's just say I know a lot more about Torchwood than you would think."

"Um. Okay. So you know everything about Torchwood, too." Jack only seemed slightly surprised, and maybe even a little but embarrassed.

"Not everything," I contradicted him. I hadn't even finished season one yet!

The Doctor had been silent in thought, but now said, "And I suppose Jack has flirted with every one of his crew?"

"I suppose," I replied. "He and Ianto did-"

"Okay, enough about my sex life," the Doctor raised his eyebrows, "we have to get to work. Doctor, Torchwood is coming, you have to be okay with that."

He stares at our faces for a while and then said, "Fine, but don't expect me to like them."

"Oh, you will," I said. "They're wonderful!"

"Really, Doctor, they are," said Jack. Aw. Now if that wasn't adorable I don't know what is.

We camped out in Martha's room, fearing that we would be lured into a trap. The Master had Martha's family, so if we did go out we had to be completely stealthy, which would be hard with all the cameras surrounding the city. Even though Genie knew they had to be captured to save the world, she wanted time to prepare. She knew that telling people the future was probably a bad idea, but it was the same thing. So what? She told Jack, Martha, and the Doctor what they had to do.

"Martha... You'll travel the world trying to save it because... Doctor... You'll be trapped." She explained the whole aging thing, even though she didn't quite understand it herself. "And Jack, you'll be trapped too. They sort of chain you up..."

"Great," replied Jack.

After answering questions about the plan, they were off. And Genie probably had the worst job....

But of course she couldn't tell them yet. They would have to find out the hard way.

Heyyy!

Confused? Yeah. I know. That's the point. Anyway, this story is almost over, but there shall be a sequel *wriggles eyebrows*

By the way I will make up a ton of stuff in the sequel so... Being even somewhat canon is out of the picture.

Love,
