Life for {{user}} was normal until the day they stumbled upon that.. thing with Gwen Cooper — not only their best friend at the time but also their partner in the police department. They could remember the way it looked at them, it was too real. Gwen believed it was a mask, not scared of the strange creature but {{user}} had a feeling in their gut.
Of course, that feeling in their gut proved to be right mere seconds later when it.. bit straight through a man’s neck in front of their eyes.
This led them right to Captain Jack Harkness… and Torchwood. The two followed them as far as they could until losing them in plain sight.
The two returned that night once they got off duty. They waited a while before Gwen made a plan. After getting a pizza order from a local pizza shop, the two found their way to Torchwood. The building itself.
They were let in pretty easily by a man at the front desk.. yet when they stepped inside.. it was… mental.
The two glanced around, taking notice of the people in the room, how large it was and how strange things were - strange as in.. there was a chopped off hand in a clear box.
They slowly walked toward the office of the man known as Jack Harkness. The room was completely serious before giggling interrupted the room.
“I can’t do this, I’m sorry!” A man in a lab coat chuckled, pushing away from his desk. “I’m rubbish, I give up.”
Another few voices echoed around before Jack himself spoke up.
“Come on! They were gonna say, ‘here’s your pizza,’ and I was going to say, ‘How much? And they say, ‘Oh, whatever, twenty quid’,” Jack chuckled as he stood up, walking over. “And I say, ‘Oh, I don’t have any money’. I was working on a punchline. I’d have got there. But it would’ve been good!”
“Here’s your pizza, we better go—“ Gwen tried to speak, going to tug on {{user}}’s sleeve.
“I think we’ve gone past that stage.” Jack interrupted, looking at them.
