Summary: "Torchwood Four's gone missing but we'll find it some day." But where?
Disclaimer: Russell T. Davis and the BBC own it all. Except the crossover fandom, but that's not owned by me either.
Rating: PG
Setting/Spoilers: No real spoilers for Torchwood, except the beginning of the series.
Characters: Four OCs masquerading as Torchwood Four. Trust me. Oh, and it's all about Captain Jack.
Words: 900, give or take
Notes: I hate writing OCs in anything under 1000 words because the introductions are so forced. Anyway, I like my Torchwood Four. I digress. In the Torchwood pilot, Jack Harkness said something like...
"We have to go back."
"We canna go back!"
"And even if we did go back--"
Sarah Slack, head of Torchwood Four, slammed her hand down on the table. "Enough!" Her voice echoed around the small enclosed room. "That is enough!"
William Christopher, computer expert, and Martin Ellison, alien weapons expert, didn't back down from their confrontation, but they did at least stop screaming.
Nafeesa Abdul Qadir, Torchwood Four's xenobiologist, tapped the computer screen upon which was displayed the list of the dead from the Battle of Canary Wharf. "There's nothing we can do now by going home," she said distantly. "The battle is over. Torchwood One is dead--"
"And we were here doing this!" Martin interrupted. "We should have been in England, standing our ground for--"
"For what?" Sarah interrupted. "For Queen and country? What good would it have served to die like Torchwood One?"
"Not all of them," William pointed out. "Their coffee boy lived."
"Ianto Jones?" Nafeesa frowned, scrolling down the message. "I met him once, before we left. What happened to him?"
Martin stalked over to the window. "He was relocated. To Cardiff."
Nafeesa raised her eyebrows. "To Torchwood Three? You'd think having everyone on his team killed might make him take the easy way out, with Retcon."
"And you'd want to forget us, if anything ever happened."
The colour drained from Nafeesa's face, but before William could jump to her defense again, Sarah stood up.
"Settle, children." Her cold tone shut them all up as no threat could. "We are not going home. We have work to do here, knowledge to be gained that can be used to protect Earth."
Martin leaned against the wall, vibrating with anger at the enforced inaction. "Are you even thinking? With Torchwood One gone, and Torchwood Two better off left to the sheep, you know who's the last step of defense for humanity on Earth?" He slapped the window. "Captain Jack Fucking Harkness!"
"And you would know," Nafeesa muttered under her breath. Martin pushed off the wall and was halfway across the room when Sarah got in his way and physically shoved him back.
"Stop it!" she shouted. "You are a Captain in Her Majesty's Royal Air Force! Show some restraint!"
Martin was taller than Sarah by almost a foot, but he was the first to look away.
"I'm sorry about Rajesh Singh," Sarah said after a minute. "I know he was your friend. But he, like every single member of Torchwood, knew the risks."
"We should go back," Martin said yet again, but a hint of defeat had crept into his voice. "I don't know if the world can stand being saved by Jack Harkness and his band of miscreants."
"Don't call them that," Sarah said, hiding a smile. Martin hated it when anyone laughed at him.
"It's true," William said. He had gone back to work on his laptop, as if the matter was settled. In his mind, it probably was. "Anyone who'd take a job like this has to be soft in the head."
"I'll drink to that." Nafeesa closed her laptop. "What time is it?"
"Twenty-five hundred hours," William supplied.
"Shit," Nafeesa muttered. "There are so many things I hate about this galaxy, and thirteen o'clock takes the cake."
William's earpiece beeped. The resultant squawk could be heard across the room. Rolling his eyes, he grabbed his computer and stood. "I'll be right there." He turned the earpiece off. "Rodney McKay's on a rampage. I have to get back to the lab."
Sarah nodded. "Erase all records of the messages from Earth and don't compose any return messages," she instructed. William and Nafeesa nodded, used to her orders after two years on Atlantis and five years with Torchwood Four. "Oh with you."
That left Sarah alone in the room with Martin. He crossed his arms over his chest. Waiting.
"Fine, what?" she asked.
"You don't really believe that Harkness is the best choice to head Torchwood Three, do you?"
"Doesn't matter what I think," Sarah reminded him. "The man's got more lives than a room full of cats, and he has kept Cardiff quiet for the most part, in spite of that bloody Rift. We're better suited here."
"Where no one knows what we are."
"We're all in this together," Sarah said. "Humanity against the Wraith. They cannot get back to Earth. It would make the Battle of Canary Wharf look like a walk in the park."
"So we go out again pretending that we are not what we appear."
"Martin--"
He held up his hands. "Fine. We remain in Atlantis, while the fate of Earth rests in the hands of a bisexual charlatan with a penchant for period military dress, and his minions."
"Now you've got it." Sarah gathered up her paperwork. "Off to bed with you."
He executed a sarcastic salute. "Ma'am."
She should have let it go, but curiosity got the better of her before Martin had cleared the door. "Just what did happen between you and Jack Harkness, anyway?"
"Don't want to talk about it."
"Martin--"
"Don't ask!"
"Well well," Sarah said to herself. "That man certainly does get around."
It occurred to her, as she headed back to the Atlantis control room, what it might be like to have Jack Harkness in Atlantis.
The Pegasus Galaxy might not survive.
Yes, I wrote Torchwood/Stargate Atlantis. Crossovers are the gift that keep on giving.

Date: 2008-01-23 06:31 am (UTC)Though I suspect Ianto was more than the coffee boy at Torchwood One - I can't see a mere coffee boy being able to do what he did. (Trying to be opaque in case you haven't seen all of season 1)
I like your explanation on where Torchwood Four went. It makes perfect sense to me!
I have a x-over fic in mind with Ianto being sent to the SGC to debrief them on Torchwood. I"ll get around to writing it one of these days.

Date: 2008-01-23 07:53 am (UTC)I like that idea for a fic! I had an idea to continue this, using everyone's favourite plot device -- the Rift! I think that Gwen v. Wraith would crack me up. Don't get me wrong, I like her and all that, but it'd still be a riot.

Date: 2008-01-23 11:48 am (UTC)I bet the SGC would be interested in Ret-Con. Would probably help with the times the Gould messed up their "No one knows but us for now" plan.
Great now I have Torchwood/Atlantis scenes running through my head.
You feed my crossover addiction, you do.

"My apologies to your sibling," Thor continued, not noticing the stunned looks around him.

Oh, the fun. Jack v. McKay. Awesome fun times.
We'll see how the second round of Torchwood goes. I think Jack's going to lighten up a little, so that will be good.

This part, especially = win.:D
