Johnson was standing over Brian Green when he regained consciousness in the old Torchwood warehouse. The man looked at her with utter disdain.

"This is kidnapping," he said.

"No," she corrected him. "This is justice."

His eyes widened in fear. She took no pleasure in this.

"It wasn't my fault!"

"You authorized the blank page. You kept Torchwood and UNIT out of the loop. Your actions led to unnecessary deaths, including Steven Carter."

Alice stepped out from the shadows and stood next to Johnson, a gun in her hand. "You killed my son."

Green shook his head frantically. "I'm not responsible!"

"Keep telling yourself that."

Alice held up the gun and fired. A hole appeared in the disgraced Prime Minister's forehead.

"Nice shot," Johnson said.

Alice took the other woman's face in her hand and kissed her, hard. Johnson didn't normally swing that way, but the woman could kiss. They pulled apart, Johnson could feel her knees going weak. Not just her knees, but her whole body. She stumbled back and fell, unable to stay upright. She couldn't move, she couldn't talk. She was paralyzed.

Alice knelt down, wiping the gun down with her coat. She put it in Johnson's limp hand. "No one told you to turn my father into a human bomb," she said coldly. She wiped the lip gloss off her lips with her sleeve.

Johnson could do nothing but watch as a strangely dressed man appeared from the same shadows where Alice had been hiding. "Well done, Alice," he said, impressed. "I'm not sure daddy dearest could've done any better."

"Don't compare me to that bastard, Hart."

"Fair enough." He opened his wrist strap and pressed a few buttons. He held out his hand. "Now, are you ready to get off this rock?"

Damn, they are going to wreak so much havoc. Very nice.

[speedgeek]

Yeah, until Jack finds out... ;)

Thanks!

Oh, now that's a cool idea!

Thank you!

Oh that's brilliant. I do have one suggestion for you... I'd remove the character/pairings from the header. I'm very glad I didn't notice it, or it would have ruined those wonderful twists.

[speedgeek]

Thanks!

Johnson may have switched sides, but the Jack bomb was a step too far.

Thanks!

Really unique and creative take on what could occur post-CoE. Really like the mix of characters, as well.

I might have to ship... Hart and Alice now? :O

[speedgeek]

Thanks!

And Hart, well, does anyone really doubt he'd pass up Alice if he ever found out about her? A female version of Jack he could mold for himself... ;)

Scarily true.

It makes me worry about what they'd do to Jack. And what Jack would do to John when he found out about this alliance. Hmmm.

[speedgeek]

I don't think John would want to hurt Jack at this point, he seemed genuinely sorry at the end of Exit Wounds, so John would probably try to avoid Jack, out of fear of Jack's reaction if nothing else.

If he ever found out, Jack would probably go for certain sensitive areas of John's body. And not in a good way.
