***

Hands in his pockets, Captain Jack Harkness walks the wreckage of One Canada Square. Behind mirrored sunglasses, his eyes are determined.

Blood and ash, dust and rubble; that was her Torchwood, built on wings of wax.

It is all too clear: Yvonne Hartman had flown too close to the sun.

But not now. No more. He arrived too late to stop her... but to prove himself, he was just in time.

That calms him. Inside his pocket, his fingertips press against the tape-- security footage of a blonde girl, a man in a pinstriped suit.

Torchwood, reborn.

In their honour.
