{OWEN caught a glimpse of Oona out of the corner of his eye. "Effing Hell," he thought. "I'm gonna have my face blown off by the invisible effing man, and now the bird from Farscape is going to start pelting arrows in my general direction."}
{He did his best not to squirm.}

"You heard Sylar!"
"Of course I did, I'm brilliant." Said the doctor with an impish laugh. Peter looked Doctor Smith deep in the eyes. It was a strange sensation, one he had certainly never felt before in his entire life.
The man had incredible depth, and in the peace of the small clearing he conceeded, he had to tell this man what he could.
"Have you ever thought you were special?" He asked the Doctor, suspecting the answer might be yes. "It all happened a few months ago..." he began. He told him how things started. He told him something changed inside, something was different, special; he told him about the Cheerleader, allowing himself to smile as he thought of Claire and how brave she had been in the end. He told him how he had lost control, how he had learnt to hold back. He told him so many things he never thought he could tell anyone; and finally he revealled what had happened at Kirby Plaza.
"Blimey..." began the Doctor. A wry smile on his face.

“Oh … what was in the coffee Ianto?” Toshiko Sato mumbled as she slowly came to her senses. She winced as she tried to sit up only then realising, the ground wasn’t carpet but dirt and leaves. Her head ached and her whole body felt strange. Toshiko wiped her face with her shirt sleeve and shivered. She was cold and very dirty. She fumbled in her pockets and found a old tissue and wiped her face to remove some of the grime.
Her mind tried to piece together what had happened to her. The last thing she had been doing, was working in the hub and trying to figure out that little device Jack had brought in for her to inspect. Then Ianto had brought her a coffee and she had sipped the brew while she examined the metal disc with the peculiar markings.
Toshiko suddenly scrambled around in the dirt in a blind panic looking for the disc Jack had trusted to her care. She had lost it – now she was in trouble.
She was in deeper trouble when she looked around her new environment and didn’t recognise the flora and shivered. Had she been transported somewhere other than Earth? Nothing around her was familiar except it was cold and the vegetation smelt similar to Earth. She heard noises in the distance, moving closer to her position. She hadn’t her jacket and she was unarmed but she found her empty coffee cup – not that it would help her.
Toshiko cowered back into the bushes hoping she would be able to hide herself from what she thought could be approaching danger. She was sure she was on her own. Where was her team mates when she needed them most, she wondered.

Jack heard the Doctors voice long before he saw him
"subtle as usual Doctor" he murmured
As the Doctor came into view Jack's eyes immediately turned to the other man with.
"heeelllooo Captain Jack Harkness and what's your name?" he said flashing a wide smile

“Oh don’t you start!”
“I was just saying hello!” Jack defended himself.
“I know you Jack. Don’t ever forget that.” The Doctor pointed at him, face somewhat threatening in a mocking, but not really mocking kind of way.
“Jack, I’m glad I found you. You know what I was saying before… about Rose?”
Jack just nodded, willing him to continue.
“Well, she’s here. But not our Rose. Rose from the past. And she’s here with me. But not me. You know?”
Jack nodded again. Pete stared open mouth at the two of them, eyes wide.
“What are you talking about?!”
Jack laughed.
“It’s a looooong story Petey Pete Pete Pete. Much longer than your very long story. Just trust me ok. Oh and please don’t tell Rose anything. Time will unravel if you do, and I hate it when that happens.”
Pete shook his head, then nodded, then frowned.
“I don’t think I could if I wanted to.”

"It's like some bloody family reunion," Major Henry West muttered to himself from behind a tree.
Obviously, many of these people knew each other. Equally obvious was that their arrival here was just as much a mystery to them as it was to the major.
Still, there was no sign of organization. No real sign of any control. Or competance. Short of a few small arms being pointed in generally effective directions.
What I wouldn't give to have my boys back. His jaw clenched and eyes hardened with thoughts of the slaughter at the estate.
Everything had been going so well. Plans were progressing. Civilization was being preserved. Some women had even arrived. And then, disaster. Disaster through lack of discipline.
Futilely, his blood-stained hands straightened the hem of his uniform. Appearances were everything, but he only had so much left with which to work. It would hardly be becoming of a major to arrive on the scene looking like a refugee.
"Surely there is some form of civilization nearby where a man can clean himself up."

"Rose is here with not you, this is getting more serious by the minute. Someone or something is crossing your timestreams. What the heck is going on? we've got you, me, Rose, Peter here, and Owen what's the link? and wait a minute... if Rose and errrr him are here where have they gone?"

Peter pulled the Doctor's coat tight around his chest, he knew just what this other American was thinking, and not because he could read his mind ( no - there was a curious absense of anything when he listened which creeped him out no end).
"I have a friend who talks just like you guys, name's Hiro Nakamura. All time lines and string theory and sh*t like that. So trust me I know what you're talking about...I think. But can one of you do me a favour...there's one thing I'm still a bit clueless about. Where the heck am I?"
"Oh - and by the way - there's a guy behind that tree wondering about his suit."

“Rose is with Martha. Which is risky in itself. I’ve kind of told Martha about Rose. Abit.”
“A bit?”
“a smidgen… smidgen… is that even a word? Anyway. She knows Rose was my companion, and shes somewhat… jealous of her.”
“Oh the good Doctor playing the ladies off against each other.”
“Enough of that.” The Doctor frowned. “You know Rose was…” he swallows hard. I don’t know where the other Doctor is, but he’s here, I can feel him. I imagine he can feel me too. I need to find him.”
“Is that wise.” Jack was all serious now, no more fun and games.
“he knows not to ask me about his future. I’ve done this before. Its just important Rose doesn’t find out. And I don’t know if Martha will have taken my hint not to say anything to her.” The Doctor grimaced,” It wasn’t much of a hint, and she’s only got a tiny human brain. But I have to find the Doctor. The other Doctor. We could figure this out. Maybe with two of us here we can get into the other dimension, I never really thought of it before. You need at least two Time Lords, but there’s nothing to say it has to be different Time Lords…” he paused realising how absurd it was to be thinking of all this now. “For another day perhaps. First off we need to find out what’s going on… and maybe stop Martha from babbling to Rose… and possibly not get killed…”
The Doctor suddenly cottoned on to what Peter had said. He had tuned him out whilst he delt with the problem at hand... "His suit?"

Toshiko heard a loud thump …. Followed by another one … she broke out into a sweat. Although her mother would have said it was a healthy feminine glow. Her throat was dry and the noise of the thumps got louder and louder till she felt like screaming. It was only as the pounding appeared to be in her head she realised she was having a panic attack and it was the sound of her own heartbeat! Closing her eyes tightly to try to calm herself Toshiko winced from being so scared of her own shadow. She was glad Owen Harper wasn’t around to see her, acting like - now what words would he use - a scared piece of skirt.

Pete stuck his hand in the air .... " Did I mention the guy...the suit...hiding behind the tree."

"well hey I have a plan"
Jack span round and glared at Peter, setting his face inches away from the other mans
"since our friend here keeps trying to read my mind, why don't we put him to better use and get him to find your other self. A telepath can surely do that right?"
With that Jack span back the other way and aimed his gun at said tree.
"why don't you come right out here and say hello"

“Where? Is it a special suit? What?” The Doctor spun round.
“Hey hidey mac tree man… what ya doin’?” He bounced on the balls of his feet like a child.
“I hope you’re not up to any naughtiness.” The Doctor grinned. This was fun.
The Doctor span bac round to Jack.
"You are brillinat!" He exclaimed before leaping up and kissing Jack on the forehead. "Absolutly brilliant!"

"Look - I'm not great at this yet. Just getting a handle on it, and there's so much noise here. I can only tell you what I hear."
He closed his eyes and tried to filter through the noise, the static from Doctor Smith, the terrifying emptiness from the American (apparently called Jack) and the rather stern guy hiding some way off.
"I can hear someone. Someone scared, really quite terrified and...there's someone I can't understand and...someone. Definately someone else lookign for your friend Rose..."
Peter pulled a face as if to suggest that was the best he could do. For now.

Jack was now really confused... last time they met the Doctor was telling him he was wrong and now he was kissing him on the head, something his old self would never have done.
"someone else looking for Rose.. well that's a start but what do you mean someone you can't understand?"
