Title: Powerless
Author: m_findlow
Characters: Jack, Torchwood team
Rating: PG
Challenge: 437 - Nothing
Notes: Sometimes there's just nothing more that can be done

Jack had to put his own guilty feelings aside for the moment. That was the thing about being the leader, your team always came first, and there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for them.

They'd all taken Beth's death hard. It was difficult to convince them that they'd done nothing wrong when they'd killed her. He was equally complicit, adding two of his own bullets to the other three. She'd gotten to know them, knew that she couldn't stop herself, and used them all to achieve her own selfless end, and there was nothing they could do to change it.

Beth was incredibly brave, but the sleeper inside her had already killed her husband, her life was being ripped apart, everything she thought she knew proving to be a lie, an elaborate cover. She just wanted to go out on her own terms without harming anyone else.
