"Well Yan, seems we're outnumbered" came the familiar voice Beth had been waiting nearly a week to hear.
"Only until the others get here sir" came an equally familiar Welsh accent.
"You can drop the Sir, Yan"
"I know, sir"
It had all started in assembly,  when they had been asked to stay behind. They had then been informed that the 'special ops' from Cardiff,  Torchwood, would be visiting their school, and that the three of them, Beth, Lia, and Ellie, had been chosen to show them around.
It went without saying that Beth and Lia had instantly started freaking out. Ellie had just stared at them.
That night, and a good many after them, they had gone round to one of their houses, (who's it was varied) and binge watched doctor who and the first few torchwood. Background info, they claimed.
And so it was that they were sitting around a desk, silently fangirling over the people in the room.
"This is fucking heavy. Teaboy, why aren't you helping?"
The tension was broken as Beth and Lia caught eachothers eye, and laughed.
"Hi, Captain Jack Harkness, and this is Ianto Jones, Tosh, Gwen and Owen, we're Torchwood......
"Three. We know" they chorused. "I'm Beth, and these are Ellie and Lia"
"How did you know we were three?" Ianto asked. "I only told the school that we were Torchwood, special ops"

"Well it couldn't have been one....."
"And four is lost somewhere..."
"Turn up eventually...."
"So between two and three, Glasgow"
"And Cardiff."
They kept talking, finishing eachothers sentences.
"And we don't know much about two...."
"But we know about you guys..."
"So when we saw Captain Jack..."
"We knew!"
Ianto rolled his eyes as Jack opened his mouth to speak
"How much do you know about aliens?"
"A lot"
"But not enough"
Jack sighed.  They could be talking anything from three eyed green things you found in kids books, or daleks and timelords.
"Well, we know about Slitheen and Daleks" Beth started.
"And Ood and Cybermen"
"And Zygons and Weevils"
"Basically anything from Nanogenes to Time Lords to the Judoon"
Ianto rolled his eyes. "Come on" he groaned. "They know nearly as much as me"
Jack smirked, looking impressed. "What do you know about us?"
"Toshiko Sato, computer genius" Lia started
" Doctor Owen Harper. Complete idiot but very clever at the same time."
"Gwen Cooper, ex police officer. Dating Rhys Williams"
"Ianto Jones, used to be a junior archivist for torchwood one, archivist and coffee god. Incredibly clever"
"Captain Jack Harkness. Fifty first century con man and ex time agent. flirts too much, allergic to death"
Jack pouted when she commented on his flirting, but laughed about the death thing.
"Allergic to death, that's one way of putting it"
"How do you know so much?"
Gwen asked.
"We're fabulous"
"Fantastic"
"Allons-y"
"GERONIMO! "
They laughed aloud, while everyone else stared at them.
Beth reached into her bag and pulled out three black leather notebooks. Two of them were full, the third two thirds so.
"So, what do you know so far?" Started Lia.
"Not much"
Ianto produced a file, and Ellie neatly copied it onto the first blank page, while Beth carefully drew a few copies of the photos and sketches in the file, sticking them onto the notebook page. Lia took out a large hardback book on aliens made for fans and started looking for a match in there and the notebooks.
After a good 20 minutes, they finished. "No idea" Lia sighed.
"Well, obviously. If we didn't know and you're just kids" Owen snarked.
"Kids who probably know more than you about aliens" Ellie retorted
Owen shrugged. "Doubt it"
Gwen laughed. "You can try to outdo eachother later, right now we have an alien to find."
Jack coughed. "Let's get set up first"
Ianto nodded, and looked around the room. There was a cupboard in one corner, which Jack set up as his little office, and Beth set up a round table from the ICT suite for the three of them, piling up doctor who books and their notebooks, and setting three laptops and some school iPads on the table.
Ianto set up the mini archives in the filing cabinet pushed against the wall.
Tosh had a corner filled with confusing technical equipment, and Owen had a medical wing / autopsy area.
Gwen had set up a cozy little area in the office next door, with a long table to eat at (made of three desks pushed together), and a coffee machine was carefully placed on the desk in the corner.
They sat in the office area to eat a lunch of pot noodle and sandwiches, and Ianto cleverly dubbed it the 'sub hub'.
After their impromptu meal, they walked back to the main part of the 'sub hub' and had a loud discussion about the possibilities, (not that they got anywhere more accurate than Owen's understated diagnostic of 'whatever it is, it's fucking annoying'), and they headed to the local hotel to set up the 'hotel hub' in their rooms.
Tosh and Gwen shared a room, as did Beth, Lia and Ellie, Jack and Ianto had another room between them, and Owen had an extra bed in his room, so they could have a 'longer term infirmary', which basically meant that if it was anything that couldn't just be patched up in the sub hub, he could keep an eye on them.
They all had a bit of equipment in their rooms, which took a while, so after setting up, they ordered a pizza. (It was kinda a bad thing, Ianto thought, that he had the dominoes pizza and their normal chinese places on speed dial.)
After a while, Jack spoke up. "Get some rest, guys, I don't know when we'll next be able to."
He and Ianto left soon after, shortly followed by Owen, who muttered something about 'practicing so he could beat Ianto', which Tosh and Gwen assured them was video game related.
Beth, Ellie and Lia left next, sitting on Beth's bed, fangirling quietly, before watching an episode of doctor who, filling in a page of the notebook based on the episode , and calling it a night.
