The team was stunned into silence.
“Is- is everyone else hearing English?” Martha asked quietly. The others nodded, “No TARDIS interference then...”
“Nope, that was all her,” Jack replied, grinning at Becca, “Remarkable language skills for a Draxon.”
“I’m only half Draxon actually,” She flashed Jack a dazzling smile, “My mother-she was from Earth. I assume, that as you can understand me, that’s where I am now,” She looked around again, taking in her surroundings. A strange look flashed over her face, and she swayed slightly. Martha was instantly at her side yet again, and helped to lower her back down onto the table.
“I think you should rest,” She said kindly, smiling at the girl.
“Good idea. Team meeting,” Gwen ordered, already moving to the stairs, “Now.”

In the boardroom, Gwen let loose.
“What the hell!” She all but yelled, rounding on Jack, “Where did she come from? Who the fuck is she?”
“She’s a Draxon,” Jack replied calmly, “Part of a highly intelligent race from the-”
“What about her mother?! You followed her here, you must know-”
“I intercepted her distress signal. I wasn’t on the planet with her when she set off!”
“If I might interrupt this lovely debate,” Martha chimed in, “Her mother most likely fell through the rift at some point, or was possibly abducted. I could run Becca’s DNA through the system to see if it matches up with any missing person’s records.” Gwen and Jack both nodded, slightly embarrassed that they hadn’t thought of that themselves. Martha tapped away at the computer screen, Chris assisting her. Jack and Gwen were left to glower at each other over the boardroom table. Jack relented first.
“How-” He looked nervously at her, “How is everyone? Rhys, the baby...”
Gwen managed a small smile, “Rhys is fine. Being a stay at home dad to let me work here. But he loves looking after... after Ianto.” The Captain flinched, but still smiled slightly at the thought.
“I-ianto?” He half whispered, staring down at the table, “He... he would have been honoured.” Glancing up again, he could see tears welling up in Gwen’s eyes. Tentatively, he reached across to grasp her hand, tears spilling down his own cheeks. Gwen stroked his hand softly.
“It’s good to have you back, Jack.” She whispered, “And... and I’m so sorry.”
“I am too. I shouldn’t-” Jack was cut off abruptly, by the computer loudly announcing that its search was completed. He coughed, attempting a rather lame relaxed expression and hastily swivelling round to face Martha and Chris. Gwen wiped her eyes on the back of her hand.
“Any matches?” She managed to choke out. Martha and Chris both frowned, hunched around the small screen.
“No...” Martha started, “Not on the missing persons list... but it’s still saying there are DNA matches on record... Not sure how that’s possible...” Chris gently pushed her out of the way with a sigh. A few taps on the keyboard and he shot a slightly smug look at Martha.
“Four DNA matches for our little friend...” He paused, frowning at the screen.
“Four results? So she’s got a whole family?” Gwen asked. Martha sighed slightly.
“We can assume that two of the people are grandparents, and one is a parent and the other is another immediate family member.”
Martha nudged Chris a bit to give herself room, and gasped at the information on-screen. Chris’ eyes went wide.
“What?” Jack demanded, making to peer around the console.
“Umm...” Martha started, looking visibly shocked, “Two of people come from the folder marked; ‘Staff ...”
“Which staff?” Gwen asked quietly. Martha’s eyes flickered between her and the Captain. She took a deep breath.
“Lucia Moretti and Jack Harkness.”
