WARNING: End of Time spoilers :(

"I'm sorry, but I can't come."

Ianto asked, "Where will you go?"

Fenn looked at the crowd milling around the train station, "Home."

"You're a genius. You're stone cold brilliant; you are, I swear, you really are. But you could be so much more. You could be beautiful. With a mind like that, we could travel the stars. It would be my honour. Because you don't need to own the universe, just see it. Have the privilege of seeing the whole of time and space. That's ownership enough."

"Would it stop then? The noise in my head."

"I can help."

"I don't know what I'd be without that noise."

"I wonder what I'd be without you."

"Yeah."


"Where's home for you?"

"I have a little place, just out of Edinburgh. It's cosy, and I know people there."

"Family?" Jack asked.

Fenn just looked at him, and then turned away, "No."

Jack fell silent, and they stood on the platform awkwardly whilst people drifted past, oblivious to them. An announcement came over the loudspeaker letting them know that the train to London was just around the corner. Fenn turned to the two agents, "Well, I guess this is goodbye."

"But really, do you think I'd leave my best friend alone without a defence mechanism?"

Jack pulled a card out of his pocket, and an envelope. "Here," he said as he handed them to Fenn, "Consider yourself an associate of Torchwood. You're not technically part of the team, but if you ever need us, just call."

Fenn took the two objects. The card was a government clearance pass, which allowed access to the majority of sealed government systems, and also provided other perks like free travel on public transport. The envelope was sealed, and on the front was written in what looked like the Doctor's handwriting, "Fenn". She put them in her coat pocket and nodded to Jack, "Thanks."

"You've got six billion pairs of eyes, and you still can't see the obvious, can you?"

"What?"

"That guard is one inch too tall."


Then it was Ianto's turn to say goodbye. He shook her hand, "I just want you to know that he didn't spend all of the time you were unconscious out on holidays. He sat in that room for days on end, making sure you didn't destabilise."

Fenn pulled him into a tight hug, "Thanks, Ianto. I really appreciate that." She drew him out to arms' length, smirking slightly at the look on his face; but then she lost all trace of humour, "and look after yourself, won't you? Don't let Jack ignore you, Ianto."

Ianto was about to answer when the train came around the corner with a noisy screech that drowned out his words. Fenn smiled at them, and moved to find a carriage. Just before she got on, Jack yelled out to her, "He's coming back, Fenn!"

Fenn called back, "I know!"

Ianto yelled, "How do you know for sure?"

She grinned cheekily as she waved and replied, "He never told me goodbye!"

Oh dear. I'm losing touch with the cliffhangers D: Sorry this one took so long.

Fenn's going home. Wonder what she'll find there, and what it'll be like without Hannah? And what's in the letter?

Oh dear, Doctor. Why do you have to be so depressing?

I wonder what the heck she could do at home that could entertain her while waiting for him...
And at least it's not depressing all the time. It seems to have a pattern of Happy, Depressing, Happy, Depressing etc...
Although I have a bad feeling that season 6 will be a little depressing...

Click pens, hack the FBI, that sort of thing...
That's true. Though I hope season 6 isn't too depressing. Eleven needs to be happy. He's fuzzy like that.

Hm, yeah that's true...
I know, right!? I just want to give him a big hug some days...

Me. Too.
But we can't. Because the screen is 2D. 3D TVs would be much cooler is you could touch the people in them.

Or, in our case, hug them.

Yes, but we're not.
Otherwise we'd have time travel by now.

I know! Why can't we be smarter!? There could be so many possibilities with time travel...

For good and evil. Time travel can turn bad.
Maybe it's best that we didn't hand it over until we get someone like the good ol' Doc...

Yeah, sorry. Don't mean to be rude or anything, I'm just daft; I thought that the master turned everyone into him in EoT, so how are the other people still themselves?

Well, End of Time was at the end of 2009/ start of 2010, and while the Doctor is at that point in time, Fenn is still in 2008. So what the Doctor is experiencing is 1-2 years in the future for Fenn and the others. :) Don't worry, it's an easy mistake to make.
