Why the hell is my face – or Des's face – on a list of murder suspects, and who the hell murdered Ms. Vassey? And why didn't I hear about this until TWO WEEKS AFTER THE FACT?
Yeah, if you want to start listing possibilities, there's also the chance that someone got a picture of one of us and has enough connections in the police department to start making our lives miserable. Or placed a psychic imprint in the witnesses minds to make them think they saw one of us. Or has an ability like JD's projectile imagination, but controlled. There are way, way too many variables here.
You'd think if any of that were the case and we're not actually dealing with someone who just happens to look like us, it would be someone who knows us and wants to make us look bad (or one of us, anyway)... And I know we're not exactly discreet individuals, but considering we're not exactly known by the general populace of Chicago, that narrows the spectrum down significantly.
...Or it would if you didn't have to take into consideration the fact that we both have dealt with some crazy-ass things in our worlds that would have no qualms committing a murder while looking like us, whether they knew we were here or not... Well, okay, I know things like that anyway. Can't say the same for you, honestly.
It's fucking complicated, no matter which way you look at it.
Yeah. And not only do I have to worry about my own past following me through, there's the past from the version of my whose universe all of Torchwood is from too. Who, if the way my team reacts is any indication, seriously deserves a smack across the teeth. I don't want to know what kind of crap might have followed them through the Rift.
At the moment I'm tied up at the Clinic so they can use me to study cures for the plague, and the Doctor has sworn me off doing anything until that's over and done with. [locked to Des]Of course, I don't think that will stop us if it becomes immediately necessary to get out and find whoever this is. You with me?[/locked]
[locked to Jack]Do you even have to ask? Guy goes around killing our people with our face, I'm not exactly content to kick back and let him do it again. Hell yeah, if it has to come down to a hunting party, I'm in. The Doctor, Martha, and Grace will kill me for it, but this is personal and they can... Deal with it. Hopefully.[/locked]
[locked to Des]Fucking universe. Doesn't just lock us in here and put meatgrinders at the exits, now it has to dump the plague and this crap in our laps all at once, too. If it means tranqs, semiautomatics and a really bad beard, we're sorting this.[/locked]
