Prologue

Marcus's sonic screwdriver opened the security door, he sneaked in, he then noticed a small group of men trading unusual weapons, alien weapons "Hey, you know dealing with weapons is illegal" said Marcus holding a pistol, at one of the men, "Well, well, well, who are you? The SWATS paperboy??" laughed the group’s leader, "I'm warning you, put down those weapons and surrender!" said Marcus pulling out a second pistol "Like that's going to happen, boys take him out!" said The Leader. Captain Jack and Ianto burst in and the mob surrendered, "Good distraction there Marcus" said Jack partying him on the back "Hey can I grab some weapons?" asked Marcus "Yeah you can" replied Jack, as if on cue Marcus pulled out a wrist strap like item, "Hey Jack what is this?" asked Marcus "That’s a Type 43 Energy shield, the most powerful personal military shields available" said Jack. The three walked out of the building, towards the Torchwood SUV and sped off to The Hub...

Marcus was working on his shields with his sonic screwdriver while Twilight was sleeping, "Hey, Marcus, can you turn that off?" she asked "Alright, this thing is good to go! Sorry 'bout that Twilight" Marcus said with his usual Australian accent as Twilight walked over to his desk "Hey, Marcus, maybe if you’re not too busy, we could, well go out for dinner sometime?" asked Twilight "Yeah, I guess" said Marcus

Chapter 2

Marcus and Twilight arrived a a nearby restaurant "I'm going to grab some money from The Cardiff Bank" said Marcus "I'll come too" said Twilight. When the two arrived at the bank they noticed a man wearing a black hood, they didn't take any notice of him, Marcus walked over to the ATM and used his sonic screwdriver on it, dispensing a few banknotes, he heard a voice yell "Give me your money or I'll kill you all!' Marcus saw the hooded man was holding a knife in the in the worst possible place - Twilight's throat, "Ple-please leave her alone" said Marcus "Marcus, don't, please" said Twilight with tears streaming down her face "Let her go NOW!" said Marcus clutching his pistols, "I don't let anyone get in my way, especially runts like you!" yelled the gangster as he kicked Marcus and shot him in the chest "Tori hel-p" said Marcus "What are you going to regenerate?" asked Twilight "No the bullet isn't fatal, I'm going into a healing coma, I'll be back don't worr-" said Marcus fell unconscious. Twilight grabbed Marcus's Vortex Manipulator and teleported to The Hub...
