Alex was a good man. Hell, Alex had been a great man.

And now the metallic tang of his blood filled Jack’s nostrils.

In the background, the cheering sounds of crowds in London ringing in the New Year felt hollow and empty.
What was there left to cheer about?

Everyone at Torchwood was dead. Everyone except him, doomed to remain here until everyone was dead.

He inhaled deeply and stood up, reviled by the death around him.

No more. No more deaths, he decided. It was his job now to protect them from more death.

A new start for Torchwood.

This was really good.

Always wondered how Jack carried on.

And yet he couldn't prevent more death, no matter how hard he tried. It's doubly tragic, knowing what is to come.

Torchwood is so much better under Jack's control and with his guidance.
Such a shame he can't prevent more deaths though.
