Torchwood Fic: Fallout, Part One (CoE Spoilers!!!!)

Title: Fallout, Part One
Author: Emma
Characters: A whole bunch of folk.
Rating: Starts PG, but hey, it’s got Jack in it!
Disclaimer: Oh, please. If I owned them, would I let some of those idiots write the scripts? And if I were making any money off them, would I be where they could find me?
Author’s Note: This is Series 3 Fix-it Fic. I dreamed this. It embarrasses me, because, dammit, Series 3 didn’t happen!
Author's Note: Just to make me feel better, I'm going to try an experiment. Short scenes, little narrative, mostly dialog. Let's see what happens.

 

            “Hello, Jack.”

 

            The man who had once called himself Jack Harkness set down his glass very, very carefully.  “Got a job for me, Doc?”

 

            “What makes you think that?”

 

            “Because that’s the only time you want to see me.”

 

            “Not quite. Though by the time I had it all figured out you had moved on.” The Time Lord plopped down on the bar stool next to Jack’s. “But I do need you.”

 

            “Sorry, Doc. I’m no longer for hire. Make a lousy hero anyway. People keep on getting killed.”

 

            “Jack…”

 

            “No, Doc.”

 

            “At least listen. Then, if you want me to go, I will.” The Doctor grabbed Jack’s glass and tossed back the last of the booze. “Whoah. That’s just disgusting, Jack. Your stomach lining is sloughing off as we speak... Oh, all right, don't give me that look. It’s the TARDIS. Something is blocking her from landing on Earth.”

 

            Jack shrugged. “That might be a good thing, Doc. Every time you or I show up on Earth terrible things happen to innocent people.”

 

            “Jack…”

 

            “Perhaps you should let me try, Doctor.”

 

            The Doctor swiveled to look at the new arrival. Jack, on the other hand, kept his back firmly turned and signaled to the bartender for another drink.

 

            “It must be Old Home Week somewhere. What do you want, John?”

 

            A hand holding a photograph entered his field of vision. Jack glanced at it casually – then sat up, grabbing for it like a drowning man grabs at a life preserver.

 

            “What the hell is this?”

 

            “You tell me. He says his name is Ifan. His first memory is of waking up in some sort of medical facility. He has been extensively… improved, I suppose you could say. He says he can’t remember anything, but when he managed to escape he made a beeline for Cardiff and the Hub.”

 

            The man in the photograph was Ianto Jones.

SAYWHAMAHUHFUH?!

Does this mean Ianto is not dead? :D This makes me very happy. If Ianto comes out alive, the Hub is rebuilt to the last inch the same in the space of two months and John and Andy join Torchwood, then Series 3 can be acknowledged. MAKE IT HAPPEN, GODDAMIT!

Oh, I love this. ^^

I have been dreaming the outlines of this for the past two nights. Keep waking up, and I need my sleep, dammit, so I'm going to work it out if it kills me!

Hmm very interesting.

I like it.

I hope I like it when I get through with it! It's been like having a stone in my shoe...

Oh ... oh ... oh...

I am completely hooked ...

[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com 2009-07-17 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. This is interesting; I have the outlines but not the "filler" so I'm going to be winging it...

Great, but more, more, more pretty please! Jack , the
Doctor, and John in a new adventure together, finding Ianto, what could be better. Thanks for sharing!

oh! How interesting! Can't wait to see how Ianto's been improved.

Ack! Ye left me hanging... I don't like hanging... my ropes all frayed, I might fall off the cliff. :) More soon, I hope?

Hold on! Be right there...

And here I was hoping to fall on Ianto. *smirk* ;)

Oh my God! TARDIS playing up and John coming up with a picture of someone who looks spookily like Ianto Jones? Looks good. And, and, John knows who the Doctor is already (I guess that makes sense though) and he's not being cocky! Yet...

I got far too excited when I saw that John was in this!

[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com 2009-07-18 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
I don't seem to be able to get away from John!

OMG Wicked!!
Thats one hell of a start.
Can't wait for more :)

Thank you!

[identity profile] gingerlr.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! I know what the new improved Ianto is like. Everything is the same but instead of the suits, Ianto prefers wearing skimpy muscle tank tops and tight jeans. Yep, that's it. *grins*

[identity profile] merucha.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Now, now, there's a bit more to it than that!
