John Noble sat at his desk at Torchwood watching Rose flirt with another employee. He felt sorry for the man as he watched her turn on the charm. He knew that once she got what she wanted from him he would be cast aside, like the many other men that have succumbed to the seduction of Rose Tyler. 

Since the Doctor left the two of them in this parallel world six months ago, things started to go sour between him and Rose. Of course at first it seemed that things were going to be okay, but as soon as their relationship turned physical and her curiosity was satisfied, she would turn him away every time that he would want to make love to her again.

One evening she told him that he was not the man that she loved and reminded him daily that he was not the Doctor. Soon the animosity between the two of them was so intense that he just had to leave the Tyler mansion and get a place of his own. At first it was difficult to be on his own but soon he started to adjust and found himself enjoying his sanctuary; now if he could find another job maybe he could completely get over his obsession with Rose.

John looked at his computer screen, trying to put the blonde women from his mind as an IM popped up on his screen reminding him that he had an appointment with the psychologist at 1500. Sighing, he acknowledged the note with the delete button on his keyboard. He really didn’t know why he kept going to see the shrink; it was obvious that it would take time to get over Rose and to adjust completely to this new world. But he did usually feel a bit more at ease after his sessions.

Looking up again he saw Rose move closer to the object of her lust. He watched as she stuck out her tongue at the dark haired man, while moving her hands up the lapels of his suit jacket. Deciding that he had seen enough, he stood up from his desk and grabbed his own coat. He hadn’t had lunch yet even though it was 1400. Deciding he would take his lunch now, and then go to see the doctor right afterwards would be better then hanging around at the office watching Rose throw herself at the man in front of her.

Rose noticed John leaving the office and just smirked, she flirted continuously with other men because she relished in showing him what he could never have again. She felt such power causing such reactions for the hybrid of a man and every time she succeeded it was like she was hurting the Doctor that left her behind through the man he left behind with her.

Turning back to the bloke in front of her she stated, “How about you and I leave here to have a bit of fun.”

“I don’t know, Rose… I don’t want to lose my job.”

“Come on Steve, my Dad is the boss here, you won’t lose your job as long as you are keeping me company. So come on, let’s get out of here.”

Looking down at the blonde leaning against him he smiled, “Okay, where do you want to go?”

“Oh I think your place will be nice. I feel the need for a shower and a good fuck.”

Looking around to see if anyone else heard her explicit comment he stated, “I hardly know you. Maybe we can just go and get something to eat.”

“Don’t you want me, Steve?” she asked as she gyrated against him.

“Yes, but I don’t jump into bed right away with someone that I barely know.”

Pushing him away from her she spoke venomously, “You will be sorry for not giving me what I want.”

“Sorry Rose, I don’t do things like that, especially when it is obvious you are coming onto me just to get a reaction from John.”

Without responding Rose stomped off and headed off to her father’s office, throwing open the door she demanded, “You need to fire that man Steve.”

Ignoring his daughter Pete Tyler finished his phone call, “Yes Mr. Copperfield, we will expect your representative in the morning. Good afternoon, sir.” 

After putting the phone down Pete turned toward his step-daughter. “Why do I need to fire Steve? He is a great worker.”

“He doesn’t do what I ask and I don’t think he will be beneficial to Torchwood,” Rose responded with authority.

Turning the monitor on his desk toward his daughter he pressed the rewind button. Rose watched as the scene between her and Steve in the office earlier was played before her. Just before she pushed him away, Pete pressed the pause button.

“How dare you record me? What I do is none of your business,” Rose said angrily.

“That is where you are wrong. While you are at work everything you do is my business. It is only when you leave that your business is your own again. I will not fire Steve because he resisted your charm and pushed you aside, but I will warn you if you don’t start acting more appropriately at work, I will discharge you,” Pete responded.

“You can’t do that to me, I have every right to be here. The Doctor--”

“The Doctor is not here, Rose, and I think it is time that you move on and grow up. You have used up your ‘I was the Doctor’s companion’ card. If you don’t start becoming productive here, you will need to go,” her step-dad interrupted.

“Fine. I don’t want to be here anymore anyway! I will just go and work for UNIT or someone like that.”

“You go ahead and apply, Rose, but I can promise you that your application will not be accepted. Now if you will excuse me, I need to prepare for an important visitor from the Copperfield Corporation.” 

Sitting down at his desk he picked up his phone and started to prepare for the next day. Rose turned and left the office slamming the door in anger. Moving to the office spaces, she grabbed her coat and left. She needed a drink and a man. Going down to the local pub, she went to search for both.

John walked out of the psychologist’s office feeling exhausted from the emotions that emerged during the session. He did have to admit he did feel better after a bit of screaming in frustration as he discussed Rose a bit more than usual.  As he walked to his flat, all he wanted to do when he got there was have a cup of tea and go right to bed. 

Of course the world couldn’t be that kind to him as he neared his home he saw Rose sitting on the steps.

As he approached he saw her stand up unsteadily. “What do you want Rose?” he asked as he got his key out of his pocket.

“I want the same thing as you,” she said as she tried to walk up to him seductively, failing miserably because of her intoxication.

“What do you think I want?” he asked avoiding her hands that were trying to grab the lapel of his coat.

“You want to make love to me in your bed,” She said sticking her tongue in between her teeth.

“Go home, Rose. I don’t have time for your childish antics.”

“Childish antics! How dare you say that to me, you bastard, especially when I am here offering you what you want from me. “

Grabbing her by her shoulders, he made her face him. “I have had enough of you. It is time that you get a life, Rose. I may have wanted you at one time, but I have found that you are no good for me and I am better without you. Now leave me alone. Find yourself someone else to pester with your immature notions.”

“How can you say that to me? You are the Doctor’s twin in every way, you are suppose to love me forever just like the Doctor does, it is not in your nature to reject me because he would never reject me!”

Shaking his head at her unsubstantiated belief that the Doctor would never reject her, John unlocked the door to his flat and moved inside. Rose thought that it was an invitation for her to join him when he turned to her. “No, you cannot come in. Go home, Rose. I will see you tomorrow at work.”

As the door closed leaving Rose in the cool night air something snapped in her and she yelled, “Oh go ahead, John Noble, be alone, but when you find you can’t live without me, don’t come crawling back to me because I will never accept you as the Doctor.”

Walking into the kitchen to put on the kettle John just smiled, he had just resisted Rose for the first time in his brief life and it felt good, almost human.

 

Donna Noble sat at her desk re-reading the file of John Noble from Torchwood 1 and found his story fascinating. The fact that he was part time lord and part human was something that was unheard of in her limited knowledge of Gallifreyan history. Granted not much was known of the ancient people that could control time so she guessed anything could be possible. 

An American voice brought her head up from the file. “So what do you think of Mr. John Noble?”

“Mr. Copperfield! I didn’t hear you come in,” standing up from her desk she prepared a cup of coffee for the mysterious man in his long vintage coat, and a cup of tea for herself.

“Well it is in my nature to be quiet.” Nodding to the file he asked again, “so what do you think of him?”

Handing him his cup she replied as she sipped her tea, “I am honored that he took on my name, but I have to admit I am curious to know why he did.  But I think the main question is why you gave me his file in the first place.”

Smiling at her his blue eyes shining brightly he answered, “Because you are going to meet him tomorrow morning and bring him here for me to talk to me. I need his knowledge to find someone very important. I figure that he might have a connection to the other Donna Noble, of his original world, so he might be inclined to trust you a more than anyone else.”

“Okay, I see your point. But I will not lie to him or manipulate him in anyway. He gets enough of that from the Tyler woman, Rose; according to the psychology reports I have read. So I think you need to give me a bit more information before I go to Torchwood in the morning.”

“I do like you, Donna Noble, and you are right, I should give you more information but I am not going to. You, as well as John Noble, will find out everything once you return here. I cannot take the chance of anyone finding out why we need him. There is too much at stake.”

Crossing her arms Donna stared down the lead of the Copperfield Corp. “Listen. I will not do a damn thing until you tell me why the hell I am going. So you better start talking, mister.”

Standing up, his blue coat swished with his movements. “I cannot tell everything, but I will tell you this. We need his help to find the Doctor from this universe and John Noble is part of the Doctor from the other world, so he is the best person for the job.”

Putting her arms to her side Donna reached for her purse. “Okay, that’s good enough for me. So I am going to head home and get some rest before heading off tomorrow.”

Grabbing her hand as she walked past him he said, “Thank you, Donna. You are a brilliant woman.”

Brushing off the compliment with a shrug, she said, “Your welcome, but how could I resist a request from a man with dark hair and blue eyes? We will see you tomorrow.”

Smiling after her, Mr. Copperfield closed the office door and made his way to the central control room of the corporation to get some sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a very long day.
