What:

Jack has brought the two expecting mothers off Earth to get some experts to look into them. He's preferred it this way due to the lack of prying eyes and to make sure everyone's healthy. Owen couldn't argue simply due to the fact Liz's body temperature would be cause for concern on Earth.

The four have to wait apparently so Owen went to take Liz to grab a bite to eat. The Earth is long gone and part of history now thanks to the sun having expanded. The view of the city and outside is breath taking and Owen's staring out at the city. "You know Liz, this isn't half bad." He's going to try to be polite and he had mentioned to her the doctor is a 'cat'.

"You know, we found Hendrix the other day, poor cat must of gotten lost outside," Owen's going to make for any old conversation as he orders a 'burger'. He's sure the cow is extinct at this point and he's not going to ask who's body went through the meat grinder.

"Don't tell me you're gonna want to live here now." Liz is beginning to wonder if Owen has perpetual rolling stone syndrome. "You like California, too...but..." Liz is frankly, overwhelmed by the whole trip but then she always is about the whole idea of space travel stuff. "Still don't see why House or someone couldn't have checked on me."

She's skeptical of the food, but if Owen's not scared of it then... "Double Bacon Cheese Burger, fries. Um...Onion rings. Yeah, both. And...chocolate shake. Is there cake?" She wonders out loud before smiling about the return of the black cat. "Jack must be happy to have him back."

Owen's going to stare out at the windows of this brand new world for a little while longer. "No, I'm Earth bound Liz. We can raise our kid with a bunch of snotty celebrity children." He's still trying to get a hang of it but the fact Ianto was never here made it even better.

He watches the burger and chips get plopped down on a tray in front of him along with a beer. "I haven't seen House. I think Jersey is having problems with gigantic moths." He liked the other prat of a doctor and he'll have to pay House a visit one of these days.

"I suppose there's no such thing as alien meat these days." Owen's not going to question what's in front of him, then he laughs a bit at Liz's orders. "You're gonna burst if you eat that much." He looks over at the cake slices spinning in front of them. "Yes, in the year 7 billion you can still eat cake."

The Doctor was following Jack for the simple reason to follow his close friend and then there's two faces he hasn't seen in what appears to be forever. He holds up both hands and he waves them frantically in the air. "Liz and Owen! It's a fancy seeing the two of you here." He was hoping to see Jack but that's not happening with the immortal take time for the domestic stuff.

He finally stands up from his chair and he goes over to join the couple. "So, there's no news on the family yet is there?" He didn't exactly forget that Liz was expecting from their last meeting after the escape from the trial of the Time Lords.

"Good, because I like Earth." Liz smiles slightly and nods. "I was kidding about the whole...Hollywood brats thing. I don't want paparazzi around when I'm picking the kid up, you know?"

She's a bit giddy about the cake selection when she sees...someone. Someone who knows way too damn much about way too damn much! "Hold on here." Liz has about a dozen questions but the first one that comes out of her mouth is, "Who the hell are you?" It's not exactly polite, or soft spoken. She does NOT like strangers knowing things they should not know.

"I like it too. Okay, this isn't a bad take on Earth." Owen scrunches his face up and he takes a menu from the snack bar. "It's a shame the original no longer exists anymore." He wiggles his fingers to bring the menu up and the food seems to be the same on the air screen. "I don't think we're allowed to take food menus back home." It's a shame he likes the thing that's only button small and he could imagine himself watching football anywhere.

He takes the burger and he's about to seat himself down. "We're not exactly famous. I'm just happy so long as there's shit to chase."

Then there's the sound of someone who knows what they shouldn't. Owen's ready to smack the guy, how he knew their names is another thing. "Who the fuck are you?" Owen spits out and he goes to stand up at the ready to smack this guy.

The Doctor was here for reasons beyond just Jack but he's figuring the Captain is busy with the kids he saw in a pram recently. He reaches for a bendy straw and he stuffs it in his mouth.

He's not exactly surprised they don't know who he is and he takes the straw out from his mouth. "It's not a bad straw it's got a little extra twist for a bit more fizz. Anyway, you might remember I gave you that old-timey camera." The Doctor goes to stick the straw back in his mouth. "Really, is there a need for the dirty mouth?"

He's happy to see his friends but there's something lurking in an elevator shaft of the hospital. "Oh, I'm looking for Jack and the Mona Alisa, please don't use the elevator. There's a bit of a spider problem."

"What?" Liz is even more confused about the camera thing until the guys starts acting odd. More than normal odd, if there is such a thing. In Liz's world there sure is. "Hold on a minute, are you...?" Liz reaches out to grab Owens arm so he doesn't punch the poor guy in the mouth.

"Doctor?" Liz doesn't get the whole regeneration thing like someone like Jack or Alisa would but she knows there's changes and patchy memories and that find of crap. Stranger shit has happened.

"Wait, spiders?" Liz wrinkles her nose at the mention of the little creepy things. "Jack and Alisa are...somewhere but what do you mean by a spider problem?"

Owen really wants to hit this guy for ruining their time and lunch. "Spiders? I'm sure it's just the local insect life getting into the vents just like back home on Earth."

He really doesn't want to go crawling into the elevator shaft and he left his gun back in the TARDIS. "Jack's starting to loose his mind on this 'guns' thing." He didn't spend much time with Jack's Doctor or if he did it was brief. "Wait, what camera?"

The Doctor continues to chew on the straw and he looks over towards the elevator doors. "Who else could I be?" The Doctor's going to be a little cryptic but then he goes over to give Liz a hug. "Liz the Matchstick girl! You don't remember, no of course you don't remember me well you do but that was me with a different face."

He recalls one moment with Owen and he goes to mention. "Midnight and the multi-breasted alien women or were they men?" He's glad to hear Jack's doing better on this 'guns' thing when they're normally not needed. "Right, because hospitals mean that you carry guns in them."

He goes to drag both of them towards the elevator. "Yes, a bit of a problem with some local spiders. They shouldn't be a problem for us." He goes to dig out his sonic screwdriver from his pocket to begin opening the doors. "It's a small spider problem.."

When the doors open there's more than just a small problem the entire shaft is covered with the silky threads from the spider or spiders living in it. "I shut the elevator system down before I came up here. Oh, if you need to know I used the stairs. But, yes there is a problem as we both can see."

"Just this...old camera and some film. I used it all up in like 2 day." It was actually less than a day and the Doctor gave Liz a shit ton of film. Because of that gesture along Liz is going to let the matchstick girl comment slide. "Different face, which is perfectly normal for you." Liz sighs and smiles weakly. "You need a sign or something fro when you do the change over."

When the Doctor mentioned multi-breasted things Liz can't help but laughs. "Oh, you must have been in heaven." She's got to tease Owen about that. She's not pissed or anything because she's not that kind of girl but it's damn funny anyway.

"I don't need a gun," Liz almost sounds smug, but it's the truth. "Be just like in Budapest only, hopefully, not so many webs and not as big" Liz wrinkles her nose at the mess of webs before shivering a bit. "This think fireproof? I can have this cleaned up in like 10 seconds if it is." Liz looks at the Doctor and smirk. "Matchstick."

"You took pictures of me right?" Owen shoots The Doctor a look at that name and he really wants to hit him for that. Then he's drug off towards the elevator along with Liz.

He recalls Midnight and it was an interesting place. It was his first trip to another world and in that TARDIS thing. "Oh, right the place was artificial." It wasn't but he won't admit to that right now.

When the doors open Owen stares at the webs and he looks at Liz. "I'm sure it is. But..." Owen goes to step into the elevator shaft and put his foot on the web, unlike other spiders the webs don't bend under his weight. "They say spider silk is stronger than steal and there's truth in that, this spider silk proves that old saying right."

He's quick to try to pull his foot off from the webbing but he's got it stuck on there. "Oh, bugger." He was thinking it would of went right through. "A little help here and please let's not burn this doctor here."

"I can get you more film for that camera." The Doctor's going to flaunt the new face with his hipster clothing. "Then you can take pictures of yours truly." He ums a bit and he ehs. "I did that change over awhile ago, it's a bit hard to explain with lots of Timey Whimey stuff involved over a year ago."

The Doctor's other face is wandering around Time and Space even if his time line did catch up. This is the life of a time traveler they never seem to die thanks to their foot prints.

"Those were real..." The Doctor's eyes widen when Owen goes to test the strength of the web. "Oh, did you have to just go do the human thing and put your foot on it?!" He groans and way up in the elevator shaft there's one gigantic spider with numerous eyes watching them.

'Doooooctoooor....you've got me a tasty little fly.' The female voice resounds down the elevator shaft and like some alien life she's familiar with The Doctor. 'I'll be in my best dress for dinner and maybe you could join me.'

The Doctor kneels down with his sonic in hand to work on freeing Owen's foot from the webbing. "Oh, did you have to really tangle yourself in this?" He calls up the shaft as he continues his work. "Me? For dinner, no and you've got the most stringy of flies! He's horrible I tell you with a bitter after taste."

"Uh..." Liz didn't think Owen was that kind of guy, who'd want Liz to take pictures of him. Learn something new everyday, it seems. "You know, you were busy and I ran out of film." Then the Doctor offers more and Liz smiles. "Problem solved, but just so you know, I'm not...very good."

Liz pulls a face at the webbing sticking to Owen's shoe. "I got it." Liz tries to melt away the webs until she hears the voice. "OK. I don't think she's asking you on a date." Liz looks at the Doctor as he tries to help with the webbing. Then she looks at Owen. "How hard will it be to get guns because," Liz looks back at the elevator. "We might need them."

He's not but he's sure he'll have to be involved with 'family pictures' once the kid comes. He's had his picture taken before with the team and he had to protest, it was the right thing in his mind to do. "I'm sure you're just as good as the tourists in the city."

He grunts at the webs that are stuck to his boot and then the scolding Doctor. "Oh, will you stop blaming my problems on being human." He tries to pull his foot free but there's another option and he simply takes his foot out of his shoe. "I'll look totally daft like this but it's either that or becoming her dinner." The web begins to melt but it would of made it harder for Owen's shoe to come out.

"I think she wants you for dinner mate and the guns are in Jack's TARDIS." Owen would like a gun right now but he's got a feeling his gun won't do a thing against this demented spider.

The Doctor gives Owen a slap behind his head for just being clever enough to take his shoe off. "We were being dramatic with saving you. And, no, no guns!" The Doctor's sure maybe the gun waving Torchwood kids would be nice to have but now isn't the time for guns.

'Guns, oh guns are just too much fun, don't you agree Doctor?' The spider creature is making it's way down the shaft. 'You cost me my snack Doctor, so I just might pick on this ward...' The spider vanishes into a room some twenty floors above them.

The Doctor grabs both Owen and Liz. "Stairs! And, no we're going to do this without guns. It's not like a gun would do much except for make her cackle with glee." The Doctor runs for the stair well and he motions for the other two to follow him. "I would suggest the lift but it's not working right now."

Liz has got a feeling Owen's going to be just fine with the whole pictures thing. He's got a 'squishy' center. Not many get so see it, but Liz knows it's there.

"Just take both your shoes off." Liz says as she begins to wonder if melting the webs was the right idea. It's sticker than marshmallow cream. "Gross."

She scowls at the idea of no guns, then at the idea of Owen being a spiders 'snack' or whatever. "Hey! Find somebody else to eat!" Liz snaps at the spider thing before she gets pulled off by the Doctor.

"Well, what are we gonna do, huh?" she asks as she follows up the stairs. "I can't exactly go kaboom in a hospital to take care of that thing, now can I?"

"I'm already without one." Owen goes to kick the other shoe off and he's going to wander about in his socks instead. "You owe me a pair of boots Liz." He's then pulled off from his place by The Doctor. "We're going to defeat it with gigantic fly swatters."

Then he goes to the stairs and he looks all the way up to where the gigantic spider went off to. "It's going to devour that entire ward." Owen's not going to complain about the stairs now, he's in work mode and it's a totally different Owen than what most people see. "Alright, guns and fire are a bad idea in a hospital in general. If this was the 21st century, that's due to the fact there's pipes filled with oxygen that are in all over the bloody place."

Owen looks at Liz and The Doctor. "It's a gigantic bomb."

"We're in a hospital, and spiders along with other insects lack something you mammals have. That and she's going to have some chemical weakness." The Doctor's not going to take them up to that floor right away, it's going to be at a great loss if he just throws himself to the wind.

There's going to be lives loss, there's always lives loss when he's around but it's that or something far worse. "We're going to make ourselves some gigantic spider bug spray." The fly swatter idea is cute and he goes towards the doors leading into a laboratory. He takes numerous bottles, jars and he tosses them onto a table. "Could this be explosive? There's that risk, but like Owen said fire is far from our friend here in a hospital."

"The two of you see if you can find some squirt guns." The Doctor 'asks', as he begins to mix chemicals. It's an amazing feat that he doesn't blow the hospital building up himself.

"I'll buy you whatever you want, just keep moving," Liz gets to be a little not herself when she goes into 'agent girl' mode. "C'mon, before it eats someone's baby." Liz knows that will get Owen's attention.

"No fire...gotcha." Liz feels completely useless now. No guns, no fire, and she knows damn well Owen won't let her try to take the thing down with her bare hands in her 'condition'. Not that she'd want to.

"Squirt guns?" Liz shakes her head at the Doctor before grabbing Owen's hand. "Pediatrics. Got to be toys there."

Owen follows up the stairs in his socks and he instinctively reaches for the gun that's not there. He's got his arm cut off from his body without a gun.

He stops to watch The Doctor with the different chemicals that he's grabbing hold off and he runs off with Liz. "We're gonna need to get the chemicals into or onto the bug somehow."

The creative thing Owen's used to thanks to Jack and Torchwood facing aliens that eat bullets for snack food. "Yes, let's hope they didn't ban the water gun in the year 7 billion." He goes over towards the shelves of toys to being looking for anything they can use as a 'squirt gun'.

((OOC: No Doctor this round.)

Try not having your gun or your superpower, Owen. No fun.

Speaking of fun..."What the hell is this stuff?" Liz roots around in the mess of 'toys' that make no sense to her at all. "What happened to dolls and trucks and water guns!?" Liz grumbles as she digs around, finally dumping a whole toy box over on an unused bed as a scared little kid who should have probably been evacuated watches her. At least she's pretty sure it's a kid. Year Seven Billion...hard to tell.

"Hey kid, where's the water guns?" She nods to the pile of playthings, making it clear this is not the time for the kid to be stingy with the information. Of course then she feels badly for snapping at the kid. Liz isn't gonna snap at her and Owen's kid, is she? She's not going to get upset when getting upset isn't warranted. Oh, God! What if she makes their kid cry? Or any kid!

"Uh...please?" She adds while shooting the kid an apologetic look.

Owen looks at some of the stuff on the bed, most of it is electronic based, he sighs as he takes what could be one of those hover cars out there to study. "I don't think they got trucks like we do." He puts the car back on the bed and then he looks up at the kid.

In the year 7 billion, Owen found out people look like people, they don't have big heads or any other weird things. The kid is one of those cat kind and Owen ums. "It's one of those cats."

"Hey there mate, don't suppose you have any squirt guns or those water canons? Right, silly adults looking in a place that shouldn't have a gun you can short out hospital stuff with. Well, it's fun to shoot the doctor who's a pain in the arse with."

"Think we'll get in trouble if we bring some of this stuff back for our kid? It's...pretty awesome." Liz continues to dig around the toys until the little cat kid points to another toy box.

"Ha!" Liz digs around the box and finds a mother-load of water pistols and a few of those super soaker type things. The kid say something about the toys being 'artifacts' which makes Liz snicker. "This is such a shame, these things are the best."

She shoves several of the guns in her pockets before handing this (http://www.amazon.com/Saturator-Disruptor-Water-Gun-Pink/dp/B003A01ZBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304378806&sr=8-1) to Owen. "I am not using a pink gun, and that's the last big one."
