Epilogue Four - Torchwood Hub

Cardiff

The Letter

The dragon moved to stand beside Jack, and he welcomed his mate’s close proximity as he stared at the envelope.  “Do you know what it is?” he asked quietly.

Jack shook his head.  “No idea…from the Doctor, maybe?”

Even as he said it, Jack doubted that.  The Doctor wouldn’t have ( Read more... )

Epilogue One - Tony Stark

New York

“I am sorry,” JARVIS replied, sounding disappointed in himself, “but I am unable to regain access to the unknown mainframe I discovered.”

Tony reared his chair back, the front legs leaving the floor.  His feet rested on his workbench, a pencil twirling between his dextrous fingers.  He didn’t ( Read more... )

London

Martha poked her head outside the door to call Clint in to eat, only to find that the SHIELD agent was already on his way back in.

“How did it go?” she asked, stepping aside to let him in.

He shrugged.  “Not too bad, but Fury wants me back at the Triskelion as soon as I can get there for a full debrief.”

Martha knew ( Read more... )

They finally did find a taxi, driven by an enterprising North Londoner who double-charged them for the trip to the Jones family home.

There was the side trip to fetch Mickey’s gun…only there were two, and the cab driver didn’t even give the pair of huge, obviously high-tech, weapons a second glance.  He certainly hadn’t ( Read more... )

The TARDIS

Somehow, Rose had missed Mickey leaving.

“He’s going to stay here,” her Mum answered her unspoken question.  “Says there’s nothing left for him back on the other Earth now.”  She stood there, arms crossed, her dark eyes sad.  Rose knew that Jackie was going to miss Mickey; they’d gotten so close after they’d ( Read more... )

Jack felt a bit lighter as he, Clint, and Martha had exited the TARDIS, most likely for the final time.

There had been a time when leaving her would have made him sad, but this felt right.  Jack could sense the time machine bidding him goodbye as he stepped through her doors, her sadness touching his mind, missing him ( Read more... )

And so, Martha finished the story.

At the end of it, Rose couldn’t decide just how she should feel about it.

Certainly, she could understand the Doctor not wanting to be the last Time Lord in existence.  Rose knew just how lonely he was; it was obvious to everyone who looked close enough.

At the same time, the Master ( Read more... )

London

The Earth was deposited back to where it belonged, with very little damage done that Rose could see.

The atmosphere within the TARDIS was charged with excitement as the time machine landed.  The original Doctor had the doors flung open even before the rotor had settled, and the rest of the crew were just happy to hug each ( Read more... )
