"I would love to hit the top speed of the car, but I don't think there's anywhere I can safely do that, without paying like some ridiculous fee for some track or something" He said. "Though I would probably have a heart attack at like 100 MPH, and especially at 267 MPH, if we get the updated version" He said. "Him? My cars female. Her names Serina" He said, laughing. Victoria facepalmed at the fact he named his car. She loved her car too, but not enough to name it or never shut up about it. He laughed at what Tabitha said, and winked back.
"Just because I like woman's bodies does not mean I'm a pervert" Aaron explained. "Or just because I like girls" He said.
Victoria chuckled at what Jake whispered to her, but would refuse to tell Tabitha what the chuckling was about. She didn't really care about the rest of what was said.
As they drove, she continued to stare out the window, thinking about her past and just daydreaming in general. When they stopped, she snapped out of her trance and quickly got out into the dreary back street. "Well this is very inviting...." She said sarcastically. She nodded to what Jake said. She smiled at Jake telling Tabitha to keep her hands off her, then started to walk in the direction Jake told them to go.

"Well I don't flirt too much, I carry on a normal conversation without flirting too, I am not going to do it to a point were it is a distraction, well maybe, but only on boring days." Tabitha nodded to Jack and said "Of course Jack, I assure you, this will never take president over my job. If I ever flirt so much it effects unit cohesion I will stop at once." she smirked and said "Ok maybe that last part was a lie."
She shrugged and said "Hey, that was a legitimate medical test, I was simply doing a requested check for tumors. It really is a medical test, just because I enjoyed feeling her up does not mean it wasn't a medical test."
She pondered for a second and said "Well you could go to a track in Germany, it is only like either 15 or 50 euros to go around their track the whole day, tons of people do it." she smiled and said "I would hope not to get the one that costs more than 1,000,000 pound, so I think your staying in the 250s." she laughed at him and said "You are really not making a case for you not ever making out with your car, or as you call her Serina. Actually that sounds like a cute name, maybe I misjudged your car." she grinned at his wink and said "When a guy wants something, anything, from me, you have to ask in Swedish."
She looked at her sword then at Jake and asked "What you have a problem with Ruby here, and yes I did name my sword." she then shrugged and said "I left my rifle at home sorry."
Tabitha stood up, showing the equal absurdness, and yet somehow slightly appropriateness of her Swedish uniform. She nodded to Jake and said "Honestly Jake, you know I wouldn't do that on a mission, in the base sure, but not out here." she had a sound to her voice that showed she really did keep her mission and base reactions separate. She began walking down the dreary back street keeping her hand on her sword. She glanced around, staying vigilant.

"I'll believe it when I see it," He said, half jokingly. "On boring days it makes sense to do something that you find non-boring, but in the middle of the job you better not do it," He nodded and said,"Good. I think it may be a bit late for that," He said, referring to how flirting made it so Victoria, Emilia and himself liked her less. "Now that I believe." Jake scoffed,"And I totally believe that with all this tech we collect that that is the only way to check for tumors," He said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. To Aaron he said,"Do you even know what a pervert is? If you do, tell me the definition of 'pervert'." "No, no problem with 'Ruby'," He said, shaking his head,"Just a problem with figuring out how you plan to fight Aliens that may have 'futuristic' guns with a sword." "Do I?" He asked Tabitha, then turned and walked down the back road while they headed down the back alley. { } A little flash of movement from one roof to another across the back alley, a little ahead of Tabitha and Victoria could be seen for a second, then was gone. They then got the feeling of being watched.

Aaron just rolled his eyes and popped his IPhone out. He stared at it a bit, pushing buttons and all that shiz. A bit later he put up the phone to Jake's face, showing him the Wikipedia page for the definition of "pervert". Really, he didn't even read the page before showing him, so he didn't even know if he was actually correct or not. If Jake read it, he'd probably laugh if it still showed he was a pervert.
Victoria walked down the back alley, breathing heavily. For quicker responses, she already took out her gun to shoot at something if she had to. Even though she was the second-in-command, she still didn't seem exactly very brave.
The quick flash of movement did not help her bravery, and she gasped and quickly pointed her gun at the area she saw the flash of movement. "Did you see that?" She asked Tabitha, then shivered at the feeling of being watched. "I hate feeling like I'm being watched" She muttered, breathing heavily. She pointed her gun at the roof tops.

Tabitha nodded and said "Of course, no flirting outside the base, well until we get off that is. You know I act very mature when were on a mission." she chuckled and said "Well it isn't that bad, besides people enjoy flirting even if they don't think so, it boasts self esteem." she laughed and said "I knew you would." and smirked slightly.
She shrugged and said "It is the fun way to do it, you should see me check Aaron for them later. Also it is faster than our equipment, a trained medical professional is faster than these machines."
She looked at her sword and then said "Well handguns are illegal here, and my rifle is large and unwieldy, it is from World War One after all. Besides I didn't see Torchwood offer me a gun. Plus I am a good swordsman, well not man, but you get the point."
She glanced at Jake as she turned to walk and said "Yes you do know that." when there was a flash of movement she pulled her sword out and gripped it with both hands, moving it in front of her. She nodded and said "Yes I did, though I don't know what it was." she glanced around and kept her eyes forward saying "Yeah I know what you mean, though I am kind of used to it."

Jake watched Aaron, then looked at his phone,"I asked YOU what the definition is," He replied, shaking his head, "Do YOU know what the definition is, WITHOUT reading that?" Jake nodded to Tabitha,"Yeah. I kind of think that Aaron is the only one who wants your flirting IN the base, since he seems to be the only one who enjoys your flirting." He shrugged,"It seems like if they don't think that they enjoy flirting, it's because they don't enjoy it," He said, raising an eyebrow. "Why the hell would I want to see that?" Jake asked, making a face,"Faster then alien tech?" He asked, shaking his head. "You do know we have some alien medical tech, right? Not really sure what most of it does, though." "Torchwood can do the illegal and get away with it. Besides, it's not illegal when you work for Torchwood," He replied. "I gave you a gun on your first day, just like everyone else. Don't tell me you lost it. And how do you plan on fighting Aliens with guns with a sword?" { } Above their heads, a pair of glowing red eyes with slitted pupils was watching them. Then the sound of flapping wings could be heard, and something humanoid landed in front of them. It straightened up, and was rather tall. It looked like a human boy with large demon wings, a demon tail and horns that came from the front of his head, pointing backward so the stuck off the back of his head (Don't really know how to explain it). He was about 6 foot 6, and wore black leather pants, black leather boots, black leather gloves and a black leather jacket. His wings and tail were red while his horns were black, and his eyes were red, where the white part was a darker red then the Iris. He just stared at them.

Aaron just looked at his phone, then to Jake. "Uh, um, uh............................no" He admitted, and sighed. He shook his head at himself because he clearly had just made a fool of himself.
(Victoria) Victoria listened to the conversation about Tabitha and not having a gun, and about handguns being illegal here. She tried to hide her discomfort at the mention of handguns being illegal, because she was illegally carrying one, and it was working relatively well. Especially since everyone was probably too distracted to notice a girl who was staring out a window to hide her face from them. The fact Jake said Torchwood people could get away with the illegal stuff more did make her more comfortable, though.
"Why are you used to it?" Victoria asked right before she saw the glowing eyes right about their heads. She let out a gasp again and pointed her gun up at it. She wasn't the type to shoot something unless she knew it was a threat. When she heard wings, she was surprised, and realized that if it wanted to, it probably could kick their asses. She backed up about 3 feet when it landed in front of them, but she continued to point her gun at him. After seeing what he looked like, she wasn't sure if this was what the Devil looked like or not. She expected...taller from the Devil, but that doesn't mean she wouldn't be surprised. "Do...do you speak English?" She asked it/him.

Tabitha smiled and said "See some people like it." she shrugged and said "Your computer tech is totally gay, she is just playing hard to get for me. The Victoria might actually not enjoy it. Aaron does, and your the hard ass commander with a stick in his ass about flirting, maybe you should flirt with Aaron, that would shut him up."
She chuckled at him and said "To see his reaction to it, it will be funny I assure you." she nodded and said "Actually yeah, I hardly know how to use this tech and it takes a while for me to figure out. Plus it is way safer than trying a bunch of weird alien devices. It is actually safer than the usual method, because that one involves radiation or chemicals."
She nodded and said "I know, I just thought like what if the Rozzers arrest me and they find my gun, that could be a problem." she looked embarrassed and said "No! I just don't have it right now, it is in my apartment, and I know exactly were it is." it was clear she had no idea were the gun was.
She looked at Victoria and said "Honestly, I wear this in public, trust me it turns heads." she saw whatever that was, and pulled out her sword pointing it forward. She gasped when it landed in front of them, and walked backwards and fell on her butt. She looked up at Victoria when she asked it if it spoke English and also asked " Talar du svenska?"

"That sounds plural. I'm pretty sure Aaron is just one guy," He said jokingly. He then raised an eyebrow,"She doesn't strike me as gay. 'The' Victoria?" He asked the last part jokingly. "If I have a stick up my ass about flirting why would I flirt with a guy? Specially when I'm heterosexual."
He shook his head at Aaron,"Never tell me that I don't know something when you don't know it yourself," He said, in a kind of snappy way.
"Out of everyone here, I think I would want to see his reaction the least," He replied, rather bluntly. "You should probably work on learning some of the stuff, then, since we collect it for a reason, and it's not really very useful when no one knows how to use it," He said jokingly.
"You're allowed to carry a gun as long as you work for Torchwood," He replied, shaking his head slightly. He then felt like doing a facesteeringwheel, but decided that wouldn't be a very good idea while driving.
The Demonish dude looked at them, and at Tabitha's sword. "I speak every human language," He replied. His voice was kind of weird and had a echo-y sound to it. "I come with a warning, heed it well." He then paused and then continued,"My race is in need of more land, we have grown to many for our own world. They plan to attack Earth to claim it for their own, sometime within the next 360 days." It seemed to him that 360 days wasn't a very long time.

"Yes boss" He said with a sigh, and actually looked like he felt embarrassed and bad for being an idiot, or making a feel of himself. Or both.
Victoria heard the part of the conversation related to her, and she blushed. The truth was she did like the flirting, from the right people. When it came to kissing, she felt like she would quite like that, if anything a bit too much. But she had never really kissed a boy she liked before, mainly because she never had a boy she considered that she 'liked' in that way. Yet. She just hoped nobody saw her blushing.
She looked away from both Jake and Tabitha to face the window, but her reasoning was so Tabitha didn't see her holding in a laugh and the fact she was actually laughing some, but too quiet to hear. She chose not to respond in any way.
Victoria just nodded to what Tabitha said about what she wore turned heads quite often. She looked at Tabitha fall on her butt, but didn't make any move to help her right now because she was busy pointing her gun at the Demonish dude. She mumbled something to herself about "Neat" when it said it could speak every human language, but not loud enough to hear easily. As soon as he said he comes with a warning, she popped out her IPhone, which might seem weird, and started punching things into it as he spoke while still pointing her gun at him, just in case. She twitched at his words. That didn't sound good. At least they had plenty of time to prepare. "You do realize there are 7 billion of us, and about 80% of the 300 million people in America actually own guns?" She asked it, then said, "We will also not give up our planet without a fight". There she was just referring to the military, and didn't exactly say if she would fight for it herself.

Tabitha smirked and said "Well everyone else enjoys it in their own way, either the flirting, my stupid costume, or me making a fool of myself. There is a little something for everyone." she looked at the computer tech and said "Something that cute is just playing hard to get with me, totally gay." she nodded and said "Yes she is a super hero." she raised an eyebrow and said "Really you dress like that and your going to tell me your strait, ok closet gay."
She nodded and said "I will work on translating that stuff over, I will still use that method though."
She shrugged and said "Ok then, not to fear the police, now to fin- I mean pick up my gun next time." she figured she could just buy a gun and pass it off as her Torchwood one.
She looked at the demon, freaked out by its voice, even more freaked out by its demand. She shook her head and said "Well combine earth has an army of 1.5 billion, under the command of the United Nations. Plus we are a nuclear armed planet with the term MAD in our language. You know what that means?" she smirked and said "It means if you take our world we blow it to hell with atomic fire and you get nothing."

"Yeah...Well, your hat is pretty entertaining," He said, sounding like he was stifling a laugh. He raised an eyebrow and shook his head,"Just because she doesn't want to flirt with you doesn't mean she's gay." He chuckled at what she said about Victoria being a super hero. He then raised an eyebrow, "Wha...What's gay about this outfit?" He asked, looking down at himself.
He nodded,"Good," He said, kind of half-smiling.
He shook his head,"I know what that gun looks like. You better find it," He said, frowning slightly that she lost the gun he gave her.
"Those numbers are small," The Demon said. "I merely came her to warn you. The war will happen, and you can not stop it. I am giving you more time to prepare. Ignore or heed this warning as you wish," He said, then looked at Tabitha. "Small army," He commented. He looked at her kind of blankly, then asked,"Do I look like I am part of a race that cares about living in a hell of fire and waste?" He then crouched down,"Do what you will with this warning," He said, then leaped into the air, spiraling upward. He then disappeared in a flash of purple and gold rift energy.

Victoria laughed at being called a superhero, but said nothing more on anything else they said.
Victoria shook her head at Tabitha. Losing a gone was not an easy task. She continued to shake her head and went back to looking out of the window.
Victoria twitched at him saying those numbers were small. She nodded to what he said, and swallowed deeply in fear. She wasn't sure if he didn't like the idea of his race going to war or not, and that was why he was warning them. She just shrugged. She twitched again at the idea of that being a small army. This was bad, real bad. After he disappeared in an awesome flash, she quickly ran in the direction Jake was at last without even helping Tabitha up.
"Jake! Jake!" She shouted out to him in front of her. She looked breathless and skidded to a stop, bumping into him slightly. There was a quick flash of a blush from her, but she then went back to being serious while backing away from being so close to him. "Look" She said, showing him her IPhone with the message "I come with a warning, heed it well.", then it read, "My race is in need of more land, we have grown to many for our own world. They plan to attack Earth to claim it for their own, sometime within the next 360 days.". She shook her head and frowned. "Tabitha and I were intercepted by a demon-like guy. We need to get the world prepared for this" She said. "He says our population and army is tiny" She said, breathing heavily and looked scared.

Tabitha adjusted her helmet and said to Jake "Knew you were a sucker for a girl in a Pickelhaube." she was clearly joking though. She smirked and said "Come in, a girl looking like that, who doesn't flirt back is clearly playing hard to get." she glanced at the 'tech girl' and smiled. She raised and eyebrow and asked "You really don't see it. Uh starting with the scarf, and the fact you have like anime hair colours constantly. The coat looks fabulous on you, in a gay way. Need I continue?"
She sighed and said "Uh so do I, because I know were it is, and I will get it for you tomorrow."
Tabitha maintained a look of fear at the demon in front of her, his race could wipe hers out easy. This is what she signed up for Torchwood for though. She sighed as Victoria ran off without helping her up, but didn't say anything about it. She leaned back and flipped herself unto her feet. She more calmly walked back to Jake, she figured he just gave them 360 days, there was no rush. She got back just as the video finished and said "I grossly exaggerated our military numbers as too, he didn't seem to care."

He just snorted and shook his head slightly at the first thing she said. He found it entertaining, yeah, in a way where it felt hard not to laugh out loud at it. "Maybe she just doesn't want to flirt with a girl," He replied, shrugging. He frowned at what she said, then pulled the scarf off,"I was just wearing this because it was cold, I don't usually wear it. Hey, I'm not the only one who dyes my hair, and how the hell does that make me look gay? And what gay about the coat?"
"yeah yeah, keep trying to convince yourself," He said to Tabitha, shaking his head.
Jake took a step back when Victoria bumped into him. "Geeze, slow down," He said. He looked at her Iphone and frowned. He frowned slightly, then nodded,"I will warn the other Torchwoods, and try to convince the UN to prepare," He said, then looked at Tabitha. "That's not good...We need to collect and learn about all the alien tech we can if we're going to stand a chance," He said, then started heading back to the SUV
Emilia frowned and pressed some buttons on the computer, "Hey, guys, I'm getting some faint Rift activity around the HUB. I think it's slowly letting something through here," She said through the comms. She didn't really feel like being alone in the HUB while the Rift was letting something through, since they hardly ever got anything good here, and she hoped they got back quickly.
"Copy that," Jake said, then started jogging to the SUV,"We need to get back to the HUB," He said to everyone else.
