Chapter II – Unexpected Revelations 1
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Ianto stared in shock at the face of the woman, whom he had believed dead for long eight months.
"How…?"
It was the only word, which came out of his mouth, because the rest refused to come out after that.
Lisa smiled at her ex-husband.
"That's a long story and one that we shouldn’t discuss in a taxi. Besides, I think Matt needs a large pot of coffee and an equally big bottle of aspirin. Raj, take us please to Matt's flat as quick as possible!" She said to the taxi driver.
This one just nodded and stepped on the gas pedal.
°oOo°
Half an hour later in Matt's flat.
"Oh god, my head…! I feel like someone's dancing tango on my brain!" Matt groaned.
He was sitting slumped in his favourite armchair, his third cup of coffee in his hand, while Lisa and Ianto, who at last seemed to have overcome his initial shock, sat on the couch and Rajesh, the taxi driver, leaned against the wall.
"Serves you right! I told you not to drink so much!" Ianto replied.
Matt just rolled his eyes, groaning in the process, and emptied his cup.
"And I would like to get some answers now! How is it that you're not dead?" The Welshman demanded slightly angry while tapping his fingers impatiently on the armrest of the couch.
"Okay, you have every right to be upset, Ianto but it might take a while to explain everything to you!" Lisa said.
"Oh, don't stop because of me! We have the whole weekend, if necessary!" Ianto said furiously.
The dark-skinned woman sighed and exchanged glances with Matt and Rajesh before she continued.
"Fine, I'll tell you what happened on that day in Cardiff, although you might not like what I have to say. It started all after I got that call from Gwen and you left..."
OoOoOoO
8 months earlier. Cardiff, Wales.
Lisa threw a last glance at her ex-husband, before she opened the door to the tourist office and stepped in, closing the door after her and locking it immediately. For a moment, she watched him leaving before she turned and went behind the counter, pressing a hidden button there, which opened a secret door in front of her.
The dark-skinned woman stepped through and walked on, making her way through a maze of tunnels and stairs, until she reached a big cog door, which opened automatically at her appearance. Lisa stepped through and entered a gigantic underground complex full of offices and lots of technology, including several single workstations, which were occupied by half a dozen men and women, all of them working busily.
Lisa went to the nearest station, where a brown-haired woman in her early thirties was typing something.
"Okay, Gwen, you said Martha needed something from the archives. Where is she anyway?" The dark-skinned woman asked the other one.
"She's waiting in the med bay. Oh, and there's something else. You know I have this appointment with my doctor in half an hour. But when I tried to use the lift five minutes ago, he didn’t work. Something is blocking him. I watched the CCTV footage and you have to see this."
Gwen opened up another computer window and showed Lisa the pictures from above. The dark-skinned woman frowned, because she had never seen anything like this before.
"Looks like a…blue telephone box! But why is it standing exactly on our lift?" she whispered.
"Do you think it's an alien ship?"
"I have no idea. Let Gareth watch it and take the normal way out. I'll take care of it when I'm back."
"All right, I'll see you tomorrow." Gwen said, shutting down the window and grabbing her handbag.
"See you!" Lisa replied, before making her way to the med bay.
Gwen watched her go and chatted for a few more minutes with her colleague, before leaving the complex the same way Lisa got in…
OoOoOoO
"Whoa, wait a minute. A blue box? You don’t really think it was *him*? Why didn’t you tell Yvonne? You know her orders for the possibility of *his* appearance." Ianto exclaimed.
"No, I did not, at least until Martha and I went to the Archives. And besides, I don’t think Yvonne does need to know everything!" Lisa answered with a strange tone in her voice which didn’t go unnoticed by Ianto.
"What are you trying to say?" he asked cautiously.
"Not now. I'll tell you later!"
Lisa's tone made it clear that this was a topic which in any case would be discussed later. So Ianto listened quietly as his ex-wife continued her story..
OoOoOoO
Another dark-skinned, young woman was waiting on the upper level of the med bay, sitting on top of the stairs that led downstairs to the actual bay, looking through one of her folders. When Lisa arrived, she got up to greet the other woman.
"Hey Martha!"
"Hey, how did it go? I assume Ianto didn’t take it too well."
"No, surprisingly he took it better than I imagined. But what do you expect? You don’t get divorced every day. But enough of that….Gwen said, you need something from the archives?" Lisa replied.
"Yes, I need that alien microscope, which we found two months ago, for my series of experiments. I think I'm really on the point of making a breakthrough in my research." Martha exclaimed.
"Really? Well, in that case, we better get to the archive as quick as possible."
Both women left the med bay and went right to a door, which marked the entrance to the most upper level. Lisa took out a small card out of the pocket of her jacket and held it in front of the scanner next to the door panel. It beeped slightly before the sound of a door unlocking could be heard.
Both women entered the small room, which was behind the door and almost empty except for a desk with a PC on it and a chair, on which Lisa immediately sat down and started to type something on the keyboard.
"Okay, let's see where I filed it…!" she said, scrolling through one file after the other, until she finally let out a cry of triumph.
"Hah, got it! It's the first shelf on Sublevel 20. Let's go!" Lisa exclaimed.
With these words she opened another hidden door with her ID-card, which revealed a hidden lift. After stepping in, the doors closed silently behind the two women, taking them deep down into the Archives.
OOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
So, that'll be all for now. I decided to split this chapter or else it'd have been too long for my taste. Who knows when I will be able to post the next part? Let's just say, CoE Day 4 is airing next week and knowing the outcome of this particular episode (although I haven't seen it yet), I just know that the next writer's block is not far away.
Do you like it? Do you hate it? Want more? Just write me. Reviews are much appreciated.
