Author: Vanderslice
Rating: PG-13 for implied sex
Word Count: 38935
Author's Summary: Rose gets a strange visitor who may hold the answers to all she seeks. A romantic Post-Doomsday Reunion fic with some action thrown in for good measure.
Characters/Pairings: 10/Rose, Mickey, OC
Warnings: none
Recced because: Yes, I'm rounding out this week of Fic Recs with a most satisfying Reunion!fic. The kind that make you smile when you reach the end (and go looking for sequels.) This is another one of those stories that I've read multiple times. It contains some of those moments that I love to see in a fic, such as a heartfelt reunion and an appearance from the Oncoming Storm. And really, how far wrong can you go in a story that grants Rose her heart's desire?
As they approached the front door Rose could see a dark-haired young man struggling against two guards. Joe, head of security was trying to reason with him.
"Look kid, there’s nothing to see here. We’ve got no space ships, no time machines, and definitely no aliens. This is just a research facility. We create pharmaceuticals, you know, medicine? So why don’t you just let me call your parents and we can get everything straitened out." Joe’s speech sounded as tired as he undoubtedly was. Usually the ‘we’re boring here, please leave’ speech put people off, but this kid wasn’t buying it."
"I know exactly what this facility is for and I don’t think you want me broadcasting it to everyone in the room. I know things about this place I’m sure you couldn’t even begin to imagine." The kid certainly had guts. Rose had to give him that; no brains, but guts. "I told you I have a message for someone. This could cost you your job do you know that? My cousin is most influential." Rose had to laugh at that comment.
This kid couldn’t be more than twelve years old and he was using words like influential. If this boy really did have a cousin in Torchwood they'd be in a mess of trouble. Rose was glad it wasn’t her.
"Come on Rose," Mickey gently took her arm. "Let’s go, we’ve seen this all before."
Rose ignored Mickey for a second to hear Joe’s response. "Okay, Kid, I’ll bite. What’s your cousin’s name?"
A cold chill ran through Rose’s body and she froze in her tracks when she heard the child’s reply.
"Rose Tyler." The boy clearly stated. " I NEED to see Rose Tyler."
