THE SWAN SONG

I've shared cars with women before, I know what'll happen. They'll be an emergency, we're all raring to go, I jump in and what'll I find? Seat's in the wrong position, the rear view mirrors out of line and the steering wheels in my crotch. By the time it's all sorted out, aliens will have taken Newport

Owen Harper – Cyberwoman


Wrong Earth

Owen and the kid landed on the ground, Owen on top of the young blonde who looked even more grey and ill. Quickly scanning his surroundings Owen sighed in relief to see what looked like Earth as they landed in a beautiful park filled with large green trees and neatly paved pavements. The young girl groaned and Owen's attention went back to her.

"Kid? Kid are you all right? Speak to me kid" Owen said smacking her cheek lightly.

"Owen?"

Owen looked up to see the elegantly beautiful Japanese woman that had annoyed him so many times with her 'geek' like personality. Toshiko Sato stared at him wide eyed as she carried a toddler in her arms, bouncing the unhappy boy that let out a little whine.

"Tosh" he said softly as he felt his heart sink at the realisation she had moved on and found happiness while he had been stuck with a kid version of Jack on some strange planet.

"What are you doing? Who's this?" Tosh asked not sounding jealous but rather annoyed. "Where's Yuki"

"Yuki?" Owen repeated. "Who's Yuki?"

"Mama!" Owen turned to see a small girl no older than six run towards Tosh and then to his horror himself walking quickly behind the girl.

"Ah shit don't tell me I landed in the future or something"

Jack leaned back in his chair and stared at Mickey with a calculating look. Ianto was downstairs being hugged to death by Tosh, Martha and Gwen while JJ was trying to find out where Ianto had went off to. Mickey decided he would tell Jack what had happened and was now wishing he had someone with him in case Jack did decide to feed him to the weevil or something.

"Let me get this straight" Jack said loudly and clearly. "You have been following my goddaughter to act as a protector, right?"

"Yes"

"You found out about two Torchwood plots that involved not only my goddaughter but my tea-boy as well, right?"

"Yes"

"And your undercover plan while it did rescue them had allowed both of them to be tormented and possibly tortured?"

"Yes"

"And now you lost Alex Rose because of the dimension cannon you promised to the Doctor you would destroy read her thoughts during a flashback and sent her to god knows where?"

"Yes"

"Well then..." Mickey closed his eyes and winced as he heard Jack's chair scrap against the floor. Jack's footsteps came closer towards him and Mickey knew any minute he was going to get punched at least. "You can tell Rose then" Mickey opened his eyes to see Jack holding his mobile phone out to Rose. "Better you than me because no doubt Donna will make your life hell"

Mickey gulped as he reached out for the mobile.

Owen was now seriously annoyed.

Instead of answering any of his questions his other self and Tosh had handcuffed him and the kid together. Tosh then checked the kid's health claiming she was medical doctor while he, Owen Harper, was the science nerd. The sheer cheek! Once a black SUV came along they dragged him not to the Hub but to Canary Wharf, he wasn't in Cardiff at all but in London. And now he was handcuffed to the bed railings with the kid asleep and a balding red haired man in a black suit questioning him.

"I repeat which shape-shifting species do you belong to?" the redheaded man snapped. "Why haven't you gone through immigration offices and why aren't you registered?"

"Look ginger I keep telling you" Owen growled. "My name is Doctor Owen Harper and I work for Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood Three"

"There is no Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood Three" the redhead said coldly. "Now. Who. Are. You?"

"What the twat did a runner again? Right that's it when I see him I'm going to shoot him" Owen muttered darkly clenching his free hand into a fist. "You would think he would stay for the twins but no he just vanishes into thin air an-"

"I don't have time for your babble" the man interrupted. "My wife and son are supposed to come any minute and I'm doing this out of my friendship with the Harpers. So tell me who this girl is if you won't tell me who you are"

"The kid? No idea, she just appeared with this way to get home, some sort of dimension cannon thingy but she got sick, can't you tell? And we landed here, now what exactly is here?"

The man paled. "How did you get the dimension cannon?" he asked, Owen shrugged and the man held his hand out. "Give it to me" he ordered, Owen pulled the round disc out and passed it to the man who pocketed it. "Dimension cannons are forbidden to use now the darkness is over. You violated Torchwood rules, I'm going to have to lock you up I'm afraid"

"Oh brilliant, I'm so thrilled" Owen said sarcastically. "Especially for being rewarded for something I didn't do"

"Well when she's recovered she'll be joining you" the man said sternly.

Before Owen could make another sarcastic retort the door was flung open and a small, round blonde woman holding hands with a small strawberry blonde kid stood there glaring. To Owen's surprise he knew the woman, not well but he had spent a party with her. It was Jackie Tyler, mother to Rose Tyler and grandmother to JJ and Alex Rose Tyler.

"Pete Tyler! I've been waiting for almost an hour now, what's taking you so long? We promised Tony here to see the puppet show at the park" the woman screeched.

"I-I know dear but something cropped up" Pete stuttered tugging his collar. "We have illegal aliens who used a dimension cannon, one is impersonating Owen Harper"

"Have you considered the impersonator could be just Owen's parallel self?" Jackie asked coolly.

"Well...no I didn't think of that" Pete said sheepishly.

"Good god I married an idiot" Jackie said rolling her eyes. She then spotted the kid in the bed and gasped. "Pete, uncuff that girl now!"

"But darling she's-"

"Are you blind as well as stupid? Look at her! She was in the damn blue box with us when we saved the universe from those bloody pepper pots!" Jackie shrieked picking up a nearby magazine that was probably left by the last patient and slapped Pete round the head with it. "Uncuff her and get her into the car, she's staying with us! The weasel-faced git can too"

"Oi! Who you calling weasel-faced git?" Owen snapped looking irritated.

"Don't think I forgot what you said at JJ's and Alex Rose's birthday party" Jackie glared back, hands on her hips. "Now get a move on!"
