Torchwood Returns

[jack]

*Bryan's words Rio's words Nieve's words Sorry I took so long. Hope it's long enough for everyone!*

"You really think I'd get too far behind? So glad you underestimate me so, You sure about throwing that around like that? There are some species that have more sensitive hearing but look completely human... So who should sneak off and go after that thing, you or me?"

Jack chuckled and told him, "I don't underestimate you I just don't expect you to keep up with me and I couldn't see you for a second." At Bryan's words he looked forwards to see the two in front of them and while one looked quite tense it didn't seem like they had heard him. "It'll be fine." he told Bryan calmly before adding, "Well considering your new you get the job of distracting them." he was about to wander off when Rio began talking to them. He wasn't really paying much attention to Bryan and Rio's conversation but then Rio turned on him and began to question him.

"Do you hurt aliens, monsieur? And don't even lie. I can see."

Jack frowned and responded, "No, why would you think that? Don't you know that aliens aren't real?" Technically he wasn't lying he was just bending the truth. But Rio's question got him thinking, Who was this man and why would he think that Jack had anything to do with aliens. What did Rio know about him?

"You're Torchwood?"

Her words caught him off guard. He knew that they probably knew who he was just based on Rio's questions but the anger and fear behind her question, although it was really more of a statement shocked him. "Who are you? What do you know about Torchwood?" He asked. It was disconcerting talking to someone that you feel like you should know but don't remember. As far as he was aware they had never met.

[Rio Keâts]

He lowered the magnifying glass slowly, looking sadly at Bryan. "I do want to help," he mumbled, much like a child that's been scolded. "And aliens aren't silly. My papa told me they exist, so they do," he insisted, his energy temporarily deflated. His ego was definitely not being supported by this man. He put the magnifying glass back in his bag and shuffled backwards sheepishly. "It's because I didn't have a crystal ball, isn't it?" he asked sadly.

Don't you know aliens aren't real?

Rio's shoulders slumped again and he glanced at Nieve as she spoke. Seeing that she was getting more of a response than he was, he brightened visibly. He still had no idea what 'Torchwood' was, but it kinda sounded like a carpenter's business.[/SIZE]

[The Small One]

"Who are you? What do you know about Torchwood?" He asked. She took a deep breath and looked him in the eyes and said in the firmest voice she could, "I am Nieve White and you want to know how I know all about Torchwood. Well maybe it's because the horrible people who run it decided that anything that is different should be tortured or killed. Maybe because Torchwood basicly ruined my life. Yeah I know all about Torchwood because I have been to Torchwood, as a matter of fact they kept me there against my will for years! What do you have to say about that?" She knew she probably shouldn't be going off at this guy who could probably kill her without trying too hard but she was sick of people taking control of her life.

[Bryan Wilkeson]

Bryan frowned and looked at the two people. He was about to answer Rio when he heard the young woman. Her vague telling of her experiences with Torchwood... His frowned deepened as he remembered again the institution he now worked for. He had heard horror stories before about Torchwood, but never something so drastic. He nervously eyed the alleys, wanting to just get this out of the way and move on.
