Slowly, time began to speed things up again. Brown eyes watched as Lacey and Tessa made their way up and out of the hub. Rose knew exactly how Jack must have been feeling at the moment, because she lived through it too when she was seperated from the Doctor. Of course, though, she was reunited with the one that had now come to be her Doctor.
She looked again at Ianto's body, and lowered her head slightly, as if saying a slient prayer for a fallen comerade, letting the tears roll freely down her face. Rose knew how dangerous it was working for Torchwood, but yet never imagined having a friend being killed because of it.
She lifted her head a bit, only to see the Doctor make his way over towards Jack and hearing her friend's pleading voice. Rose couldn't go anywhere, even if she wanted to. She needed to be here.
