Same disclaimers-Doctor Who and Torchwood owned by BBC. All characters thus far are owned by BBC. None of this is done for profit. My only compensation is a review here and there and hoping at least one person was entertained. Oh, and I have fun writing these! No money. Money comes from that J word.

The Sound

Martha

My family. They have my family. What is going on? My family has been taken by a psycho and all he can worry about is saving a Time Lord. What a great project. Save the very man who is making us run and has kidnapped my family. There are many things on my Master list. Saving him is not one of them.

What is wrong with him? He does not even care that I am angry and want my family back. All he cares about is his precious Master. That man would kill him if he could and he is trying to save him. He really is completely mad.

I thought being second to Rose hurt. Being second to a man who will do anything to anyone is even worse. How can I be worth less than this sociopath? Is the Doctor even worth my time?

Jack

She is so upset. The Doctor does not even seem to care. All he wants to do is help this guy? Maybe I am growing more cynical with age, but the only thing I see helping him is a bullet to his forehead. Some people are beyond assistance, in this case, Time Lords.

When the Doctor found that bomb, my first thought was to get her out of there. She was not going to fall prey to him. If I had taken the hit, I would have come back. I always do.

I love the Doctor, but right now, I want to strangle him! Wait. Can he be strangled? He could regenerate and I would strangle him again. We could have a battle of the death defiers.

I still like my idea of snapping Saxon's neck. I could have ended the problem in mere nanoseconds. Maybe his regeneration would have been less murderous.

One thing the Doctor did that I am grateful for is fixing my teleporter. I never gave it a second thought. There were two option. I could have teleported, but I was not going to let her stay there. I am a soldier. She is delicate, behind that independent audacious exterior.

She did not even see the sacrifice I made. The old Jack would have said sayonara and high tailed it. For her, I would deal with whatever the Master brought. He brought a lot, but knowing she was alive made it hurt less. I actually look sexy in chains.

I knew I could not let go until I knew the threat against her was gone. If the Doctor wouldn't put things right, I would do it. He could be mad. He could take his revenge on me, but I was not going to let a world suffer if Martha was a part of it.

The Doctor does not deserve her. I know someone who does.

The Doctor

Good plan Jack. If one of us could get out, the rest would be a possibility. Jack was always thinking. That is a part of Torchwood training, besides violence and destruction of course.

I gave her instructions. I knew she could do it. She is strong enough.

I have to save him. I know if I can get through to him, I can help him. I can not just walk away. If I have to suffer to save him, so be it.

Martha was the hinge everything rested upon. I am glad Jack thought as I did, that she could save us all. I thought he would leave us here and make his way out. I wonder why he didn't?
