Challenge: 332 - Gwen Cooper
Notes: None

He stared at the forlorn woman huddled on the ground on the plass.  In his mouth he could feel the acrid metallic tang of blood.

Suzie's blood.

He went over to the young woman and placed a hand on her shoulder.  

He half expected her to recoil from his touch.  

It was a reaction he'd come to expect over the years.  

Most people didn't take his immortality too well, but she didn't even flinch.  His other half wasn't surprised. He'd sensed in his guts she was capable of much more.  

A team member down, what did he have to lose?

Yes, she did have so much potential in the beginning.

I don't know, it's probably not a great idea making big decisions when you've just been shot in the head. Jack probably should have thought things over for a couple of days instead of impulsively recruiting Gwen.

She knows his secret and wasn't phased by it. Seems like she could well be Torchwood material...
